Article 121 To open a bookstore
Five hundred taels of silver.
This news lifted the spirits of the people who were still disappointed by the appetizing commentary, this money is not a small amount, there are many scholars present, and there are many people who are quite confident in their poetic talents.
What's more, the old man also said just now that the criteria for this selection are based on the comments of the owner of Yujiuju, and who can be selected is determined by his preference, that is to say, as long as he likes it, it doesn't matter if the level of poetry is extremely poor.
On the other hand, everyone didn't hear Fan Lao say that there were any other conditions for participation, so many people present were moved to give it a try and were ready to try their luck.
"Brother Situ is really generous, this reward is even a little tempting to me." Zuo Shenyan opened his mouth and said, he was not really interested in the five hundred taels of silver, as the prince of Mi Wang, the last thing he lacked now was money.
It's just that as the organizer of the Peach Blossom Poetry Society, he is quite interested in activities related to poetry, and the commentary he just heard is also extremely interesting, so he also moved his heart to write a poem for what he saw and heard today.
"Spending a little money, but it can bring great benefits to this jade wine house, it is estimated that with this poem reward, this book called "Three Kingdoms" will also become popular in Xuan'an City." The third prince, Zuo Minghu, took a sip of the glass of Chinese wine and said with emotion.
"Brother Zuo's words are wrong, with the quality of this script, even if it doesn't need to be publicized like this, it will be popular in Chu sooner or later." Chen Pu has a very high opinion of this story.
"Who wrote this, isn't it also Mr. Xiang, since he is so talented, why haven't he heard of his name before?" Zuo Minghu was a little curious, this storyteller is really amazing, his storytelling performance is very good, if this book is also from him, then this person is really a rare talent.
"This is ......" Hearing Zuo Minghu's question, Chen Pu suddenly smiled, he pulled a chicken leg with one hand, and was about to open his mouth to reveal Situ Xi's old bottom.
"It was written by a hermit, and I had the good fortune to meet him, and when I saw it in his library, I asked for it......" Situ Xi hurriedly interrupted Chen Pu.
"I see." Zuo Minghu nodded, he didn't doubt it too much, there were many capable people among the hermits of the Chu State, and there were also many great Confucians and other miscellaneous celebrities, so it made sense that such majestic words came from their hands.
Zuo Minghu didn't want to ask the news of the hermit, since he was a hermit, he must be interested in the fun of mountains and rivers, and he had already broken away from the world, and he wanted to meet them depending on fate.
When Chen Pu saw Situ Xi interrupting him, he also understood what Situ Xi meant, and he stopped speaking and continued to eat.
"Since Fu Yu asked the hermit for the book, then he must have asked for the whole book, just now I asked you how many times this book is in total, and you also said that there are a hundred times, so I wonder if I can borrow it and take a look, and after reading it, it must be returned in time, or where can I buy this book?" Chen Zhishu made a request to Situ Xi at this time, and she was also quite fascinated when she listened to the book review just now.
That's a good question, hearing Chen Zhishu's question, Situ Xi smiled, he was about to mention to them about selling a book, Chen Zhishu was a bit like he found a trust at this time.
Chen Zhishu's words made several people next to him interested, and Zuo Minghu's eyes lit up instantly after hearing this.
"Yes, this kind of story must be loved by the emperor very much, Brother Situ, you must have sold me a copy of this."
"To tell you the truth, I am indeed preparing to open a bookstore, and the printing of these books is already in preparation, and the plan for the book "Three Kingdoms" is to sell five times every ten years after the bookstore opens, which I call 'ten magazines'."
Previously, Situ Xi asked Fan Lao to find a bookstore to print these books, but later Fan Lao proposed that they simply open a bookstore by themselves, so that many things would be more convenient to do, and the income from the books sold would not be shared with others.
"Shunkan?" Zuo Minghu silently recited a sentence, but at this time he didn't have time to ask Situ Xi about the meaning of this new word, he just put his arm around Situ Xi's shoulder, "Brother Situ, if you wait until your bookstore opens, I don't know when, and it will only be sent five times every ten years, so you can't kill people in a hurry." I want to take a copy of this book to my father, and in a few days we will go to Linwa, can Brother Situ borrow me this book for a day, and I will ask someone to print a copy urgently...... My father had a habit of reading books, and he would write a book review after reading it......"
Zuo Minghu winked at Situ Xi as he spoke, and Situ Xi raised his eyebrows, this is really a good habit.
Emperor Chu annotated this book, and this gimmick alone could make this "Three Kingdoms" a big hit, and he just wanted to see Emperor Chu's attitude towards this book.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious, I currently have a few manuscripts of the Three Kingdoms on hand, and when I go back today, I will ask someone to send you two volumes."
"So good! Brother Situ is righteous enough. When Zuo Minghu heard Situ Xi's words, he was instantly overjoyed, it is better to have a ready-made manuscript, after all, it takes a lot of time to print a book, not to mention manpower and material resources.
"Eh, Brother Situ can't favor one over the other, this is my sister who spoke first......" Chen Pu grabbed Situ Xi's wrist with a hand full of oil stains.
"Of course, everyone has a share, and I'll have people prepare when I get back."
While everyone was discussing the book "Three Kingdoms", the curtains around the Jade Wine House were slowly opened, and the sunlight entered the building, and the restaurant instantly brightened.
At some point, the stage was replaced by a man wearing a mask, he was dressed in a pompous dress, dressed in a colorful robe, and holding a ring in his hand.
This person is Fan Lao from the Washe Gou Fence to dig up the person, his surname is Zhang, he is the family of Lao Zhangtou, I heard that he is proficient in illusion, that is, the way of tricks, Situ Xi is also the first time to see him today, he has not seen the tricks of this world before, he is also looking at the people on this stage with great interest at the moment.
After the avatar came to the stage, he greeted the guests, and then without saying much, he went straight to the point, he raised the four rings in his hand to everyone, and the four rings in his hands changed in a fancy way, and soon the four rings were connected together.
"Four chains, is there any unwritten rule in Xuan'an's world, last time my sister and I watched two trick performances in the hook column, both of which started with these four links." Chen Pu felt a little bored, although he didn't know how this trick changed, but he had seen it many times, and he didn't have the freshness he had at the beginning.
"As a traditional trick, the four links should be known to all people, and the performances are from simple to complex, and the later this trick is performed, the more you can see the skills of transforming people." Zuo Shenyan seems to have gone to watch and listen to music in the hook bar on weekdays, and he is also very familiar with these tricks.
