"Lian Er Chun" is a strange book, but the content in it is too straightforward and not suitable for the general public, so it was banned. However, many celebrities have read this book throughout the history, and the reviews have been mostly positive.
Chen Yue wrote this book. Although he used sex to seduce people at the beginning, the small and big things in it were intertwined, and the tone of the characters was consistent. This was also noticed by people. The previous serialization was all in It has accumulated a good reputation, and now that it has been released, the response has been overwhelming.
In Chen Yue's view, this is also the place and discussion this book deserves.
"Brother Chen, congratulations."
Zheng Jingren came out and saw Chen Yue. He congratulated him repeatedly and said, "Today the lotus spring is on sale. I walked through the streets and alleys just to observe the sale. The crowd was very dark. Qingjiang Bookstore is on sale today." The book "Lv Fang Ji" is promoted, Chongwen Library is promoting "Romance", and Wanjuan Library is promoting "Gu Qi Xia", but their sales are not as good as "Lian Er Chun"!"
The bookstores in Zhengyang Mansion also have their own competition. They saw the potential of "Lian Er Chun" in their eyes, so when the book was published, they also tried to block it.
But unfortunately, the results were unsatisfactory.
"Our novel has been serialized, and Hua Chuan has been promoting it every day. The reputation has been fermented. They suddenly blocked it, and naturally they couldn't stop it."
Chen Yue was very calm and believed that Ji Boying's promotion of this book was a big seller.
"They also tried to serialize it, and also chartered flower boats to promote it. However, after their stories were publicized, their ugliness was revealed. People with knowledge felt that they were not as good as Lian'er Chun, and instead sent people to Lian'er. Spring is pushing up.”
Zheng Jingren said with a smile.
Lian Erchun's big sale, as a full-time painter, he also received a dividend, which was extremely satisfying at this time.
When Chen Yue heard this, he felt the same way. There were many novels written during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but how many can be called masterpieces?
The gold content of masterpieces is not something that cats and dogs can touch.
"Especially the Chongwen Museum's "Romantic Love". Maybe after seeing the popularity of "Lian Er Chun", I rushed to create the novel. It has no connotation and no character. It only writes about handsome men and beautiful women. People who buy the book are not interested in it. No scolding, I feel it has no collection value.”
Zheng Jingren was still sarcastic. He had benefited a lot from the huge sales of "Lian Er Chun". For this kind of novel that came to block it, Zheng Jingren couldn't wait to ridicule it.
Chen Yue chuckled and chatted with Zheng Jingren for a few words. He felt that there was no nourishment and was about to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother Chen, wait a minute."
Ji Boying hurriedly came over, carrying a lot of letters in his arms, and said: "During the serialization of "Lian Er Chun", Jingu Shuxing received a lot of letters, including many great scholars. I wanted to send them to you earlier. But the printed version is different from the serialized version, so we came to explain it. Today, the store clerk came to deliver books to your door. There are many great scholars from Zhengyang. The noble man wrote a letter and designated it to be delivered to you. "
Chen Yue took the letter and took a quick look at it. He saw that there were twenty or thirty letters. He sat down at Ji's library and opened the letter and read the contents. After reading it briefly, Chen Yue opened the second letter again. The third letter... couldn't help but smile.
"What are the great scholars talking about?"
Zheng Jingren leaned over curiously.
They criticize addicts...
Chen Yue smiled and said: "These people want to review "Lian Er Chun" and add comments in it, but there are many words in the novel. They really don't understand it, so they wrote a letter and wanted me to Make it clear."
The most popular reading method these days is to review and comment, but this is not a power that ordinary people have, but those elite literati. They insert their own ideas into novels. For readers, it is like being with such big figures. And read a book and understand what the big shots think.
If an ordinary person creates a review version, he will not be able to sell it at all.
"They want to review this book, which is a good thing for Lian Erchun."
Ji Boying thought for a while and said: "With their review, Lian Er Chun can be known to more people, and with their reputation, Lian Er Chun can be expanded to the north and south of Qianyuan."
After today's sale, Lian Erchun has used up 7,788 of her energy, and subsequent pirated editions will be printed soon. Whether Chen Yue is willing or not, there will definitely be various annotated editions.
"Then let me explain it roughly."
Chen Yue took the pen and ink, compared the questions in the letter one by one, and then responded neatly.
First of all, the word "human pig" was clearly explained in the letter. Empress Lu cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and feet, gouged out her eyes, made her voice mute, threw her into the toilet, and tortured her to death. Emperor Hui became seriously ill.
Liu Xiahui, Guan Yunchang, Lingyange, Sun Wuzi, etc. all considered their details and explained them in their letters.
As for those who directly asked about the content of the following article, Chen Yue asked them to pay attention to the serialization.
After this round of letters were written, the sky was already dark. Chen Yue watched the letters being sealed, and then some guys took the letters and immediately sent them to these dignitaries.
...I wonder how many lotus pads will appear on the market after today.
Chen Yue stuffed the two letters into his arms, said goodbye to Ji Boying and Zheng Jingren again, and hurried home while there was still some daylight.
If Chen Yue wants to take the path of literary sage, the most important thing is influence. These people can expand Lian Erchun's influence, and Chen Yue can also transfer some gold and silver interests.
"There are two more letters, why haven't you replied?"
At this moment, Chen Bo asked aloud.
"Both letters have some background."
Chen Yue patted his chest and said: "One of the letters was a post for me to attend the Golden Flower Club in five days. Originally, I was not interested in this kind of cultural gathering, but Ma Quan wanted to attend the Golden Flower Club. When he showed his face, I followed him to see if I could help him so that I could let go of my apologies for him."
Ma Quan pulled Chen Yue's hand, and then his cultivation level regressed. He was a sincere gentleman and didn't take it seriously, but Chen Yue kept it in his heart.
"It should."
Chen Bo asked again: "What about the other letter?"
When Chen Yue heard this, he took out a letter and said, "This letter is a bit strange. It was written by a woman, and the paper is obviously very expensive. She even made a special appointment with me to talk about the novel."
The letter is signed Xiangxiang.
"Oh? You want to see this girl?"
Chen Bo raised his voice slightly.
"Xing Yishan has always said that I have climbed a high branch. I think I am probably attracted by a nobleman, and that is why I am not allowed to go to Yixiang Tower."
Chen Yue said: "I always want to see what kind of noble girl this is, and also want to know why she only likes me, what conveniences the other party's identity can bring to us, and what impact it will have on us..."
There is extraordinary power in this world, so Chen Yue does not want to marry prematurely and have children, but wants to work hard to build a career. If someone really takes a fancy to him, Chen Yue also wants to get rid of the other person's thoughts as soon as possible.
