Chapter 708: Meeting in the Flower Building
Tianxiang Pavilion eats wine, and Lu Yao is the east.
invited Bai Song, Changsun Lian, and Yu Ji.
Hearing that Bai Song was going, Yu Qingqing also came with him in men's clothes.
Today's gathering is very secret, and Lu Yao said that there is something important to discuss with your classmates.
Therefore, a very safe room is required.
In the end, Bai Song betrayed his face and asked for the poetry girl's room.
The poetry girl is only open for Bai Gongzi, and she only does the business of Bai Song and Bai Gongzi, which is no secret in Tianxiang Pavilion.
Fortunately, this white boy still has a little conscience, in order for the poetry girl to live in Tianxiang Pavilion, he gave Tianxiang Pavilion a sum of money on time every month, not saying it on the bright side, but it means to buy freedom for the poetry girl.
Who is Bai Song?
Chang'an is no longer a stranger.
A Dream of Red Mansions evoked the memories of the people of Chang'an and reminded me of the song head.
Moreover, there is news among the people that Bai Song will be appointed as the young master of the crown prince.
It shows that Bai Song is not only famous, but also has a career, and such a person has a bright future in the future.
As the old bustard of Tianxiang Pavilion, although there is some relationship behind it, Bai Song's future thighs must also sell face.
Tie the future emperor teacher with an outdated Oiran, and the little silver every month is just a formality, and the share is actually very small.
But Tianxiang Pavilion is still sure to make a profit.
When a few men arrived at the Shishi girl's room, as soon as they entered the door, they were flushed with a fragrant wind, and they didn't dare to look at the Shishi girl, this room smelled too good.
"It's still Bai Song who has face, and this kind of place has come in!" The eldest grandson didn't know how long he had been closed at home, and he was so excited when he saw the woman when he entered the door.
Lu Yao's mind was calm, and he looked around curiously without saying anything.
Yu Ji no longer seems to be the original chick, and when he saw the room of the Oiran back then, he was amazed, but he tried to restrain himself.
Only Yu Qingqing kept frowning, look here, and then look at her boudoir, it's just weak!
Xiao Nizi secretly decided that after she went back, she would rearrange it according to this style.
But I don't have any money on hand, how can I have more decorations in the girl's house?
Thinking of this, it is inevitable to be discouraged.
The poetry girl personally arranged the wine and delicacies inside, and stepped forward to bow to a few people: "A few people chatting freely, there are poetry maids waiting outside the door, if you need anything, just say it." ”
"Miss Shishi, now the Oiran of the Tianxiang Pavilion is not as expensive as you! I've heard you haven't seen a guest in half a month. Today, in order to see us, even the wing room is lent, we really have face. The eldest grandson said with a smile.
"It's Bai Song who has face, right?" Lu Yao rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
The poetry girl smiled sweetly, rarely showing a hint of shyness, secretly glanced at Bai Song, and slipped out of the room.
Today, the poetry girl was in a good mood and sang and danced on the stage in the lobby of Tianxiang Pavilion.
The guests who came made a lot of money, and I don't know why they were so lucky today.
As everyone knows, Shishi has a home and can't go back, and there is nothing to do outside, so she simply passes the time.
Inside the house, Lu Yao didn't immediately get to the point, gave Bai Song a glass of wine, and asked, "The problem of money is solved?" ”
Bai Song had borrowed money from each of them before, so everyone was very concerned about this matter.
Bai Song nodded.
"Two hundred thousand taels, so it will be solved in ten days?"
"It's just a book, real money is definitely not enough, but at least there is a steady income."
"A book? What book? ”
"Could it be ......"
A few people seemed to have something in mind.
Dream of Red Mansions, by Cao Xueqin.
Now it's a hot spot in Chang'an City!
The book club that sells books is not a good person, and it took more than half a month to get the third volume.
What kind of sales plan is actually stipulated......
If the sales of Dream of Red Mansions do not reach the specified target, the release date of the next volume will be postponed indefinitely.
This can make a lot of book lovers miserable.
If you want to read the content behind, there is no other way than to buy, buy, buy.
Not only will book lovers not see new content, but even pirates will not have new content to sell.
And the sales were outrageous, saying that it would take 100,000 copies to sell before the next volume would be released.
In other words, at least everyone in Chang'an has to buy one to have the next episode.
Today, there are special shops in the East Market that call on book lovers and pirates to raise funds to buy books, hoping to complete the established sales task as soon as possible.
There are fanatical book lovers who bought 10,000 copies of one person, and I heard that she is still the eldest lady of a certain family, and she is crazy about the manuscript.
At this time, Bai Song said lightly and came out with a book.
If you were someone else, you would definitely not think of Dream of Red Mansions.
But combined with some of the things that Bai Song had done, several people present looked at Bai Song in surprise.
Don't think about it, Bai Song must be the author.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You wrote Dream of Red Mansions?"
"It's not."
"Isn't it?"
"But a friend of mine wrote it."
"Do you know Cao Xueqin? Where did you meet? ”
"Uh...... When I was in Yizhou. ”
"Can you refer?" Lu Yao was very excited.
"Well...... Cao Xueqin is a master of the world, but I am afraid that it will be rare to meet. ”
"What!" Yu Qingqing pouted, "It must be a girl from some family, hiding for fear of being known." ”
Bai Song looked innocent: "Is my image in your heart so bad?" Cao Xueqin is a man. ”
"As soon as I heard this name, it was a woman, so I didn't believe it."
The little girl sullenly poked a piece of pastry with her chopsticks.
Yu Ji smiled: "Brother Bai treats us as outsiders and refuses to confide in us. In this world, except for Brother Bai himself, who can write such an article? Not to mention anything else, just say that the poems in the published manuscript have many things in common with the four chrysanthemum poems that were circulated before, and Brother Bai can write poems in a woman's tone, but the style is the same, and the poems can't deceive people. ”
Bai Song was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this can also find a flaw?
It seems that copying poetry is really a risky thing.
It's hard to explain this, Bai Song gave a few people a look, saying that everyone knows it, don't make a noise everywhere.
Everyone understood, and Yu Qingqing was in a better mood.
"Bai Song, you have to follow me to meet someone."
Suddenly, Lu Yao grabbed Bai Song's hand very excitedly.
Bai Song was stunned for a moment, he thought he would get to the point, why did the calm Lu Yao suddenly go crazy?
After Lu Yao learned that the person who wrote the Dream of Red Mansions was Bai Song, he seemed to have found some treasure, and looked at Bai Song's eyes that lit up.
Bai Song wanted to get rid of it, but Lu Yao grabbed it tighter and tighter, and Bai Song seemed to see the mood in all directions.
"What are you doing?" Bai Song asked, furious.
"If you want to see someone, you should help me."
"Who?"
"Hou Zheng, the eldest lady of the Hou family."
"What are you doing with her?"
She was obsessed with Dream of Red Mansions, and despite the opposition of her family, she spent a lot of money to buy 10,000 manuscripts of Dream of Red Mansions. I can't even see her! ”
