In the next few days, Chen Yue stayed at home. On the one hand, he borrowed some cheap books from Jingu Bookstore and read them every day to learn about the past events of this world. On the other hand, he concentrated on copying books. Such a life pattern, But if you cause trouble, there will naturally be no demonic disasters.
The tenth chapter of Water Margin has been published. This book is based on ten chapters as one main plot. The first to tenth chapter mainly tells about the murder of Wu Dalang by Ximen Daguan and Pan Jinlian, and then Pan Jinlian came to Ximen to celebrate Stories from home.
There are also twists and turns here. For example, after the high-ranking official of Ximen acquired Pan Jinlian, he married Meng Yulou and married his daughter to Chen Jingji, thereby neglecting Pan Jinlian. Pan Jinlian was also worried and used tricks to make Wang Po went to invite her and drew Ximen Qing's eyes back.
The subtle changes in the timeline of Water Margin and Water Margin are that in Water Margin, when Wu Song came back from a business trip, Pan Jinlian was still at home, and then Wu Song found out the case and simply killed Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing. .
Among the Water Margin fics, Pan Jinlian has married into Ximen Qing's family. After Wu Song found out, he went to the Lion House to kill Ximen Qing alone, but Ximen Qing hid, and instead asked Wu Song to kill a Li Waichuan first, and then passed out some Wu Song. Rumor has it that Ximen Qing has been killed.
After this incident, Wu Song assassinated his wife, and Ximen Qingzhi was so proud that he even took over Pan Jinlian's girl Chunmei.
The three most important heroines in the novel, Pan Jinlian, Chunmei, and Li Ping'er also appear.
"Everyone moved their mouths and lowered their heads. They covered the sky and reflected the sun, just like locusts coming together; they winked and shook their shoulders, as if they were shot out of prison after being hungry. This arm that grabs the wind feels like they haven't seen wine and food for years; that one with two chopsticks is like a swarm of locusts. There is no feast and banquet every year..."
This section describes the scene of Ximen Qing’s fair-weather brothers feasting and drinking, followed by many ugly behaviors of these people after drinking.
Chen Yue's wrist ached as he wrote, so he couldn't help but stop writing and waved his hand.
The fanfic has been updated for several days, and there is no scene of the book becoming popular and directly becoming a god. However, when submitting the manuscript, shopkeeper Feng said that toilet paper has been selling much better recently, which may have a certain effect.
"I have to copy it as soon as possible. After I finish copying, I can read "Taiyuan Manchu" as soon as possible. When the manuscript is submitted, I can borrow another book."
After a little thought, Chen Yue started writing again. In his previous life, Chen Yue was a scroll king. In this life, he woke up and was confused for eighteen years, which filled Chen Yue's heart with a sense of urgency... People of the same age as Chen Yue studied literature and martial arts. , many have accomplished something, but Chen Yue has accomplished nothing now. He must work harder to get past them!
The most important prerequisite for defeating your contemporaries is to learn first and integrate into the world.
"Dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door, and Chen Yue inquired and learned that it was shopkeeper Feng who brought guests here.
Why are you bringing guests here at this time?
The toilets in Zhengyang Mansion are out of paper?
Chen Yue, filled with doubts, stepped forward and opened the door.
"Brother Chen."
Shopkeeper Feng bowed his hands to Chen Yue. Chen Yue nodded and looked at the two people brought by shopkeeper Feng. One was brightly dressed and heroic, the other was dignified and neatly dressed. They both looked to be in their twenties.
"This is the owner of our Jingu Bookstore. His surname is Ji and his name is Boying."
Shopkeeper Feng first introduced the man in bright clothes and said: "He is also the little boss of Ji's library."
Ji Boying, what a good name...
Chen Yue looked at Ji Boying and saw that he had heavy eyebrows, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked a bit familiar. He smiled twice, then stretched out his hand to hook Chen Yue, a bit like putting an arm around his shoulders.
"This is my boss's good brother, his surname is Zheng, his name is Jingren. He is good at painting and is best at describing people."
Shopkeeper Feng introduced the upright and reserved man.
"This must be the author of "Lian Er Chun"."
Zheng Jingren cupped his hands towards Chen Yue Gong and said sternly: "Bo Ying is here to discuss the publication. I am here to communicate with you and draw some illustrations to add to the novel."
There are illustrations in the novel. It is a hardcover with large pages, clear text, and excellent paper quality. The price of this novel is ten times that of ordinary novels.
Chen Yue invited three people into the courtyard.
"It turns out that Jingu Bookstore is owned by Ji's Bookstore."
Chen Yue was slightly surprised.
Ji Boying laughed and said: "Ji's Bookstore belongs to the big family of my Ji family, and Jingu Bookstore belongs to me personally. There are still some differences. I am the master of Jingu Bookstore. In Ji's Bookstore, I am only a minor figure." , mainly my uncle is in charge."
When Chen Yue heard this, he immediately understood that Ji's Bookstore is a big treasury, and Jingu Bookstore is Ji Boying's small treasury. Both are in the printing industry, but their market positioning is different. One is printing books, and the other is printing toilet paper. Ji's Bookstore can naturally tolerate it, and Ji Boying can make her small bookstore prosperous by relying on the resources in Ji's Bookstore.
"The publication of the novel this time is also my uncle's task."
Ji Boying said calmly.
"Your uncle..."
Chen Yue thought for a moment and said, "But which one is known as the Four Zhengyang Heroes?"
At this time of year, literati like to hold groups, and there are countless small groups of various kinds. When Chen Yue was eating out, he also heard people talk about the literati organization in Zhengyang Mansion. There is one of the "Four Elites of Zhengyang", Ji The head of the library is one of them.
"My uncle just made three friends."
Ji Boying corrected him: "They were originally called the Four Friends of Zhengyang, but one of them was so outstanding that he was called the Four Heroes of Zhengyang. But that is all in the past."
Zheng Jingren seemed to know what happened back then and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Yue did not ask about the story behind it. After all, it had nothing to do with him. However, after Ji Boying, Zheng Jingren, and shopkeeper Feng entered the door, Chen Yue discovered something embarrassingly. His house had only four walls, and there was not even a chair for three people to sit on. None, let alone tea reception.
"How about we go to the teahouse outside to talk."
Chen Yue said.
Ji Boying, Zheng Jingren, and shopkeeper Feng also discovered the predicament of Chen Yue's family, so they naturally followed suit.
"Brother Chen's life at home is really simple."
Ji Boying used the word "simple" with high emotional intelligence to describe Chen Yue's life, and said: "Instead of us sitting down to drink tea, why not go to Yixiang Tower to drink together. Today I will be the host, and we will also decide on the novel."
Yixiang Tower is a brothel, which is also quite famous here in Zhengyang Mansion.
Chen Yue couldn't help but pause in his steps.
"The novel written by Brother Chen is really a rare book in the world. After I saw it in the latrine, I stood up on the spot. I was not willing to use toilet paper! There are countless people like me in Zhengyang Mansion. When the novel is published, this Yixiang House I’m afraid it’s a place I often go to, so there’s no need for stage fright.”
Ji Boying patted Chen Yue on the shoulder and cheered him up.
"That's right."
Zheng Jingren also said: "If I want to illustrate your novel, I have to come here from time to time to find inspiration."
Chen Yue squinted and looked at Zheng Jingren... You'd better be an illustrator!
"Now there are many manuscripts of Brother Chen's novels in Zhengyang Mansion. Maybe when we go to Yixiang Tower, we can still hear the people inside talking about the plot."
Shopkeeper Feng said.
Although printed copies were available at this time, manuscripts were also in circulation.
Chen Yue calmed down and followed Ji Boying and Zheng Jingren to Yixiang Building. It was his first time visiting this place and he felt really uneasy.
I don’t know if I should take it off underneath or if there are any unspoken rules.
