Chapter 142: Fish Theory
There was a plump round-faced young lady standing next to Liu Hua, who didn't pay attention to him, just wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and complained, "Why haven't you squeezed in yet?"
The little maid who fanned her persuaded: "Third Miss, this alley is narrow and impermeable, and it is very hot, let's go back to the house and wait, Ali will definitely go back to you as soon as I buy it." ”
Miss Roundface stomped her foot: "But people want to see it right away." The eldest girl of Li Shilang's family has already finished reading it!"
Liu Hua arched his hand and asked, "Miss, what kind of books are being sold in Xinyu Bookstore?"
The round-faced lady glanced at him, and said with ignorance: "You are a foreigner, you don't even know this! ”
The little maid said sharply: "What everyone is grabbing now is naturally the masterpiece "This Love Can Be Waited"! The upper part of this story has been widely circulated several years ago, and now the lower part is finally out. ”
"The lower part?" Liu Hua felt that his eyes were dark, and it was clear that the manuscript of the next volume was still in his baggage, how could the bookstore already sell the next volume? He asked dryly: "Isn't this a banned book? How dare Xinyu Bookstore openly sell it?"
"What forbidden books? The anger of the round-faced lady who couldn't wait suddenly came out: "The ban has been lifted early! A few days ago, Xinyu Bookstore and Tingyue Bookstore released a rumor that they want to jointly sell the next volume, and they still need to get a license to pre-order, and those who come directly can't buy it!"
"That's not right!" Liu Hua's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth: "This is a fake book!
The round-faced lady looked Liu Hua up and down, and scolded with disdain: "You haven't seen the new book, how do you know? My boudoir friends have already seen the book yesterday, and they all say that love is deep, and the writing is further than the previous volume." Are you crazy?"
The other ladies who were waiting to get the book also looked at it curiously.
At this time, the little girl Ali had already rushed over with the book: "Third Miss, I bought it!" Holding a blue-gray delicate cover of "This Love Can Be Waited (II)", the book has a fresh ink fragrance.
The round-faced lady suddenly forgot about her quarrel and was about to take the book with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the man next to her actually snatched the book, which made her stunned for a moment.
Liu Hua looked at it, in addition to the name of the story on the cover, it was written impressively: Qu San. He opened the book, and the book was very exquisitely printed, and at a glance he knew that it was a masterpiece of a serious bookstore. After reading a few pages casually, I found that the author wrote about Sun Yuxia's lingering love with the emperor in the palace very poignantly, and the words were moving.
The round-faced lady reacted, became furious, and shouted to the boys, "Are you all dead? Don't you see the madman snatching the book?"
Several small servants rushed up, grabbed the weak Liu Hua, and snatched back the script. But between the snatches, the script was twisted a few times, and creases appeared on the cover. The round-faced lady took the book and stroked it distressedly.
Although Liu Hua was caught, he burst out laughing: "Fools, all fools! This is a fake book! It's really a fake book!"
The round-faced lady was annoyed and rushed up: "Where is it fake? I want to see what you say!"
Although he wrote it, he had no way to prove it! Liu Hua was extremely annoyed, and could only say: "Everyone in the world knows that the person who wrote the book is the son of Wenhua, how did he become this Qu San?
The round-faced lady twisted his collar and said, "You idiot! The protagonist of the first volume is Wenhua, but the author has not left a name, who said that the author must be Wenhua himself? The second volume witnesses the life and death of the former emperor and concubine from the perspective of Wenhua's son, and the most poignant love in the world just confirms the true meaning of the title of the book, "This Love Can Be Waited"! The two volumes are beautifully written and in the same vein, which is enough to see that Qu Sangongzi is the creator of this story. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, it's insulting the name of Gongzi Qu!"
"What kind of poignant love?!Then Sun is a slut!" Liu Hua said without hesitation.
Not only the round-faced young lady, but the other young ladies who were watching the excitement on the side were all angry, where did they come from! He actually insulted the heroine, Her Royal Highness Sun Guifei, was not indirectly disrespectful to the emperor! Is he deceiving them and can't refute them if he wasn't at the scene? It seems that he doesn't know that Sun Guifei still has a lot of supporters outside the palace.
The ladies shouted one after another: "What a wicked man!" "Although I am gentle and virtuous, I can't be lenient today!" "This guy is so disgusting, call me!"
The entourage of the little servants of each family stepped forward together, and beat Liu Hua with three fists and two feet, beating him to the ground, but he was still stubbornly shouting: "The fake book he wrote! The book in my baggage is the real book!" His burden has fallen to the ground.
"Yours, you are also the author of the book?" When the round-faced lady heard this, she asked the little girl to stop, took his baggage and opened it, and found that there was really a stack of manuscripts inside, she flipped through a few pages, sneered, and handed the manuscript to a girl in a pink shirt nearby: "Such a stinky text, dare to take it out and argue with the third prince of Qu?
The pink-shirted girl looked at it, shook her head, and commented while handing it to the other ladies: "Writing Sun Guifei Niangniang as an unchaste and unclean person, is this grandstanding and deliberate slander?"
The fat lady who was next to look at it also shook her head: "What is the difference between this and the vulgar script of conspiracies? Compared with the idea of "This Love", it is simply a cloud of mud!"
Another young lady covered her face with a beauty fan and smiled softly: "If it is this kind of market story, then I will never make an appointment in advance and wait here every day to get the book!"
The two girls with hats covering their faces also shook their heads together, and a female voice said in a low voice: "Books are not worth mentioning, and people are not worth our lessons!"
Indeed, why bother to meet this kind of filthy vulgar people who don't understand true love, they are elegant people who are full of fairy couple love in their hearts. The other ladies smiled disdainfully, looked at Liu Hua as if they were looking at an unclean thing, raised their hands, and asked the little ones to retreat, and they also walked away and continued to wait for the book.
Liu Hua, who was left with a blue nose and swollen face, was still sitting on the ground and muttered: "I am the real author of "This Love...... How can you do that to me? Look at my books and look down on my stories......"
No one paid attention to him, and the ladies just went further.
---
The two hooded girls also followed the flow of people and walked out of the street silently.
Bai Yuelan took off her hat and said unhappily, "Why did Senior Sister protect him?"
"The kind of group beating just now is easy to kill...... He's not so guilty of a heinous crime. Ding Rong said, but sighed in his heart, it is better to have the outside world, the law is sound, and there is no need for personal punishment for doing evil.
Bai Yuelan nodded and said, "That's right." I now understand why my sister said that day that she would use the 'fish theory' to deal with him. Senior sister is so amazing!"
