After Chu Feng ran out from Wu Xiuting, he sat in the car with an evil smile on his lips. I really didn’t expect that the aloof Princess Rong was actually Ting’er’s cousin!
What a pity that she is as beautiful as a flower, noble and silky, but she is still a little widow! hey-hey. It seems that going to the fiefdom of Yizhou with her is also a good choice!
Alas, it's a pity that I'm short of money now, and I need to get more money now, otherwise I'll be tight even if I want to go out for fun. Or start selling carriages? It is estimated that many wealthy families need it! Especially the master with many concubines, I guess he likes it more!
"Master, Sister Daiyu's literary talent is so good, but it's a pity that her health is not good. If she had a good master, she should be able to marry Mr. Jia, right?"
Shuang'er sat next to him and suddenly spoke.
"Haha, yes, if she can have Shuang'er's martial arts skills, she can definitely marry whomever she wants. In short, everything is fake, only her own body is real."
Chu Feng said, stretched out his hand to hug Shuang'er into his arms, and his mischievous hands began to act dishonestly.
"Master, why don't you change the ending of the Red Mansion? The Nu family looks so heartbroken. Why is the Jia family so miserable?"
Shuang'er said softly, but she snuggled into Chu Feng's arms even more, letting Chu Feng take advantage of her.
"The ending cannot be changed. At worst, the young master will tell you a happy story about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. If you listen to it, you will feel better if you keep it."
Chu Feng said with a smirk.
"Okay, from this name, you know that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are a couple, right?"
Shuang'er said with a chuckle, most of her dress had been untied.
"My guess was wrong, it's a pair of butterflies. This story is beautiful. Come and tell it to me, Master."
Chu Feng said mischievously, but his breathing also became rapid. Shuang'er's charm was really becoming more and more attractive.
Back at home, Shuang'er shed tears and said softly: "Master, you bully people and promise a happy story, but the result is even more miserable than the Red Mansion."
Looking at Shuang'er with red and swollen eye circles, Chu Feng had a good way to make money! That’s making a storybook!
Whatever he wanted to do, Chu Feng found the carpenter Lao Zhangtou when he returned to Chujiazhuang. Although movable type printing was not available now, wood carving printing was still possible!
Taking the story of the Red Mansion written by Shuang'erjuan as the draft, I asked Lao Zhang and several other carpenters to start carving on the wooden board!
Although the work was busy, it was easy to work with many people. The diligent carving of seven or eight master carpenters allowed the templates to be carved one after another.
For the first test, Chu Feng took a special bath, took Shuang'er and the others to brush ink on the template, then pasted it on with white paper, and printed it very carefully. After more than ten tests, the white paper The handwriting on it was now clearly visible, which made Chu Feng very satisfied!
After the busy printing process, it is time to bind the pages. Fortunately, the template is one chapter, so the binding work is relatively easy!
When the first Red Mansions story book was received, Chu Feng was extremely satisfied because the cover was specially inscribed by Mr. Situ: "A Dream of Red Mansions!"
This storybook is the first paper book in the history of Daliang Kingdom! The price is naturally extremely expensive!
Moreover, Chu Feng didn’t want to make money from the common people at all, so he priced it at one gold per copy! According to the price of Daliang, it is equivalent to three thousand pounds of millet and a copy of Dream of Red Mansions!
This means that people who can’t afford to eat, don’t even think about it! But soon, this book became a luxury product for the nobles of the Liang Kingdom!
The noble lady in that family had never seen Dream of Red Mansions and was too embarrassed to attend various gatherings, even weddings and funerals. She was afraid that others would suddenly ask: "Who is sister Daiyu's father?"
And if you are stupid and don’t know what to ask, that would be a disgrace to you. Of course, this is also related to the extremely attractive story of Dream of Red Mansions. In particular, the poems and lines in it, as well as the drinking party and games in it, and especially the human relations and sophistication in it, are so vividly written.
Not only the young ladies were fascinated by it, but also some of the young men were obsessed with it, such as Gongsun Lanyu, who was imprisoned by his father to recuperate. His mother felt sorry for him and was afraid that he would be bored, so she secretly bought a copy of Dream of Red Mansions and gave it to him. As a result, while reading, He cried, feeling sorry for his sister Daiyu and vomiting blood.
The success of "Dream of Red Mansions" made the author, Jingcheng Xiaoxiaosheng, famous naturally! Many people quietly asked the shopkeeper of the bookstore who Xiaoxiaosheng was from Beijing. It's a pity that the big shopkeeper always smiles and says nothing. But he was extremely proud in his heart: "Who else could it be? Of course it is my young prince! The most talented person in the capital!"
Looking at the box filled with pieces of gold cakes, Chu Feng opened his mouth and laughed loudly: "Shuang'er, Yue'er, no one expected that more than 370 copies were sold today. Although it is more than before, The weather has eased a bit, but it will definitely last for a while. Hey, it’s time to start writing our second book! And the young master promises that the second book will definitely be a hit!"
Chu Feng has also thought about writing the most classic Journey to the West for his second book, Monkey King. I originally wanted to change the title of the book to Monkey King, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt it would be more appropriate to call it Journey to the West to Slay Demons!
This time, in order to write the cover, I specially gave Mr. Situ a set of exquisite tea sets. The old man was also very happy. He gave his grandson Situ Mao a good beating again. Let him learn more from Chu Feng!
Journey to the West to Slay Demons, as soon as it was placed on the bookshelf, aroused the curiosity of the scholars who came to quietly copy the book. Soon, the lawless monkey Sun Wukong became loved by everyone!
Of course, Li Er from Qianqing Palace threw down his book angrily and cursed loudly: "This brat Chu Feng really looks a bit like that monkey! Huh, no matter how he changes, he will definitely not be able to escape from my Five Fingers Mountain!"
"Father, do you know how to do magic? Hehe, I am planning to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva as my teacher."
Xiao Changle ran to Li Er with a smile and said with his big eyes flashing. That cute little expression instantly melted Li Er's heart, and he reached out and picked up his little daughter!
However, although Journey to the West is more interesting than Dream of Red Mansions, it still cannot sell Dream of Red Mansions. It does not have as huge an impact as Dream of Red Mansions, but its results are already very good.
After selling like hotcakes for two or three months, it finally continued to sell at a rate of more than ten copies a day. You know, a book is like a golden cake! Moreover, the book sales shop is just a cubicle of a pawn shop that Chu Feng asked Wu Xiuting to vacate!
Of course, Chu Feng did not stop telling stories, so the books were bound one by one.
However, the new books distributed by the bookstore were not as good as each other, but Chu Feng still made money.
Naturally, the price of the book changed from a gold cake to a silver cake! But it has also been turned into a very legitimate and long-term business by Chu Feng, because now he is not only telling stories, but the bookstore has also hired scholars who can write stories!
Li Erdu had to admire Chu Feng's ability. Sitting in Qianqing Palace and looking at Queen Changsun, he said: "That brat Chu Feng is really not simple. In the past six months, he actually opened seven or eight bookstores in the capital! He has opened several bookstores in the capital!" The Bamboo Slip Bookstore has been closed because of the rush. New Year is coming soon, do you want to choose a good day to marry Zhaoyang?"
