Chapter 15: The Platinum Star
"Uncle Sun, this is what my father and I have worked hard for, in addition to the story, there are also many poems, all of which are not inferior to the [Sauvignon Blanc] just now, which is also the reason why I dare to speak out and make money"
"Oh, then I really want to take a good look at this book, the disgusting work of the virtuous son-in-law and Brother Liu must be extraordinary.
Rest assured, after this publication is printed and sold, except for the cost, the proceeds will all belong to the virtuous father and son, and I will not take a penny."
"This, okay, so thank you Uncle Sun for your love"
"Thank you, I called the note today, you and my grandson and Liu have been a family since then, how did you learn your father for no reason, isn't it polite to me?"
In fact, Chen Xiang called his mother-in-law to say that he would charge an agency fee of 100 hangs and sell the exclusive distribution rights of Dream of Red Mansions to Sun Yuanqing.
But at this moment, listening to his words and looking at his enthusiasm, it is really difficult for him to ask for money again, so it is better to just leave it like this, whether to lose or earn depends on the will of God.

The flowers bloom at two ends, one on each table.
But he said,
Above that high heaven, outside the thirty-three heavens, inside the South Heaven Gate, there was a Doufu Heavenly Court with golden light rolling red and thousands of rui qi spraying purple mist.
In this heavenly court, the bright glow reflects the sky, and the blue mist covers the mouth, among which there are thirty-three heavenly palaces, and one palace palace spine swallows gold and stable beasts. Seventy-two treasure halls, a hall pillar jade unicorn.
On the birthday star platform, there are famous flowers that have not been removed for thousands of years; By the furnace of alchemy, there is evergreen Seocho.
After the pilgrimage building, it is the Jinque Cloud Palace, the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. That's really a golden nail to save yu households, colorful phoenixes dancing Zhumen. The corridor of the double road is exquisitely clear everywhere; Three eaves and four clusters, layers of dragons and phoenixes soaring.
Seat in the hall [High Heavenly Saint, Great Merciful One, Jade Emperor, Great Heavenly Venerable, Xuanqiong High God]
Under the seat of the Jade Emperor, there are two classes of civil and military, vicious and ruthless, and the heavenly generals of the dynasty; Angry, the escort of Xianqing.
The Jade Emperor sat down with the curtain down, and the jade mouth said: "Can all the immortals have a play?" ”
At this time,
A person flashed out of the train, and Yue Ban reported: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that there is a evil Jiao in Hongze Lake in the Great Song Dynasty in the southern Zhanbu Continent of the Nether, and the lake has been flooded for many years, until the people of Li have suffered disasters and the common people have suffered, and the minister implores His Majesty to give grace to the Three Realms, and issued a decree to arrest this demon to prove the majesty of my heavenly court."
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he immediately sent a decree: "With the two gods, each return to its own duty, I will send heavenly soldiers to capture this monster"
The Jade Emperor's voice fell, and the class flashed out of the class to Li Tianwang Yue Ban and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not talented, please order this monster"
Another Venus played from Dan Chi: "Your Majesty, my Heavenly Court soldiers will be majestic and prestigious, and the little Jiao in the lower realm does not have much mana, so it is better to order the Dragon King of the Four Seas, send a dragon son and dragon grandson, and take this demon away, why do you need to work hard to move the soldiers and shock the lower realm?" ”
"What Jin Xing said is reasonable, then it will bother the Qing family to go to the lower realm"
"Minister, Commander"

Yangzhou City, Great Song Dynasty,
Since that day, Chen Xiang and Liu Yanchang have been to Sun's mansion, and more than a month has passed.
For the rest of the month, Yangzhou City sang and danced slowly, and the prosperity was still the same, but because of Chen Xiang's arrival, there were still some different places.
Jixian Hall, Shufangzhai, Moxiang Pavilion, and Sanwei Book House are well-known bookstores in Yangzhou City.
In the bookstore, there are hundreds of schools, sage classics, celebrity poems, medical books, Buddhist scriptures, novels, secret books of the Spring Palace, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
It's just that in recent days, guests who come to the bookstore have to buy a book called "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Boss, but there is still a dream of red mansions?"
"This brother, you also buy Dream of Red Mansions?"
"Exactly, could it be that you are too?"
"Haha, nature"
"And me, so do I"
"Hey, I don't know which one this Cao Xueqin is, not to mention the characters of Najiafu in the book, just say that he has three volumes, each of which has a poem hidden in it, and for this poem, I have to buy it."
"It can be said, last night in [Mingyue Building], the fat-headed and big-eared Geng Pang actually won the heart of Thirteen Niang with two sentences [If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan], and stayed in Mingyue Tower for one night, hey, regret is late, regret is late"
"I heard that there are three volumes in this upper, middle and lower volumes, a total of three songs, in addition to the two songs that have been found, there is one that has not been found"
"Yes, if whoever finds out first, he will definitely be able to win the prestige of Mingyue Tower, and win the favor of his sisters, and it is not a problem to kiss Fangze"
"Haha, it seems that Brother Tai is also in the same way"
"I'm the same, I'm the same"
Such a grand occasion of book buying has become a common sight in the four bookstores in recent days.
A book is one or two silver, that is, a thousand texts, but it is difficult to be the enthusiasm of many readers in Yangzhou City.
Yangzhou has a population of one million, even if there are thousands of pure readers, if you count the literacy and hyphenation, I am afraid that there are not 100,000 people. (This is a novel of cultivating immortals, and the population is not accurate)
That is, one out of 100 people bought the upper, middle and lower volumes, which is also an income of several thousand.

Xinqiao West Street, the back house of Sun's house.
"Brother Liu, drink this cup full, drink this cup full"
"Yanchang, hiccup, Yanchang is not strong enough to drink, Brother Sun drinks himself, drinks himself"
"You, virtuous son-in-law, come, have a drink for your father and old man"
"You are a bad man, agarwood is only five years old, where can you drink this wine, if you drink agarwood badly, see if Qian'er doesn't complain about your father"
"Mother!" Eight-year-old Sun Qian stomped her feet softly and sneered, and secretly glanced at Chen Xiang beside her.
Fifteen-year-old Sun Qiao watched silently from the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking.
..
..
Sun Mansion back house, this is the third time that the Liu family father and son have come to the door, fifteen days ago when the manuscript was completed, the Liu family father and son had come once.
Today is the third time.
Although Sun Yuanqing was also enthusiastic in the first two times, he was not as enthusiastic as this time.
In addition to settling the money and silver, the father and son of the Liu family also brought over more than 300,000 newly written words in the rest of the month.
100,000 words are divided into three volumes, and more than 3,000 taels of silver are sold, and these 300,000 words cannot be divided into ten volumes and sold for 10,000 taels?
In the Song Dynasty, there were many bookstores, and there were even professional publishing merchants, so the price of printing books was not expensive.
The more it is, the cheaper it is, as in the Dream of Red Mansions, if more than 1,000 copies are printed, the cost of each volume is only four or five hundred texts.
One tael of silver, earn half of it, and now the Liu family's father and son have as much as 1,500 taels left in addition to the cost to Sun Yuanqing.
It is precisely because of this that the father and son of the Liu family came to the door for the third time.
It's just that
The money has been earned, and life is worry-free, but Chen Xiang has no intention of being happy, because he is here to cultivate immortals and earn merits, but not to make money.
For the rest of the month, in addition to dictating the Dream of Red Mansions, he chatted with the shopkeeper of an inn, Han Yunsheng, the proprietress and others.
Through chatting with them, Chen Xiang learned that there are fairies and ghosts in this world, but they are difficult to find, and ordinary people may not be able to encounter them once in their lives.
is like the black Jiao in Hongze Lake, I only heard that I recently ate two more people who went to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but what does that monster look like and how capable it is, Han Yunshang has not yet made it clear to Chen Xiang.
After all, Chen Xiang had seen it once.
