There are at least a few hundred people queuing in front of each of Xue's six bookstores.
This also opened Xu Ning's eyes. If it were in ancient China, this would be impossible, especially for those ladies from the upper class who would not be able to show up in such a public way to buy books.
But it is different in another world. Although boys are still favored over girls, there are not so many restrictions on women.
The bookstore hasn't opened yet, and everyone is looking forward to it, but no one has any complaints.
In order to see the long-awaited new book, I still have some patience.
Of course, women are somewhat in love with Xue Zixuan, while men are a little jealous, especially those talented people who write books in the cultural circle, who are even more envious and jealous.
We are all publishers, why is it that you, Xue Zixuan, are so popular and so many girls are obsessed with you? They have every reason to believe that as long as Xue Zixuan hooks his finger, a lot of girls will pounce on you.
You can stir-fry noodles comfortably without paying any money, no one will be jealous of you.
What made these publishers even more angry was that this month, Xue Zixuan, relying on his status as the nephew of the county magistrate, monopolized the book engraving workshop and was not allowed to engrave other books, which eliminated the possibility of competing with him.
What a deception!
But these are just complaints in my heart, and on the surface I want to support them.
…
"The door is open! The door is open!"
Not long after, someone started shouting, and six bookstores of the Xue family opened their doors at the same time. The crowd suddenly became excited, and they could finally buy books.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, my young master said, everyone has a share, don't worry about not being able to buy it."
"The new book [Wu Ting Lian] is priced at 100 copies each. Please line up and come one by one."
Six boys stood at the door of the six bookshops and shouted at the same time.
"The price has increased? 100 copies each."
"What's 100 Wen? It's 1,000 Wen. I'll buy it even if it's 10,000 Wen."
"Yes, 100 Wen is so cheap, it's so conscientious."
"..."
In the past, [Sanshengyuan] was priced at 50 yuan a piece, but now [Wu Ting Lian] is priced at 100 yuan a piece. No one thought it was inappropriate. They all thought it was worth the price. They even thought it was too cheap.
Soon, the book sale began, and the first person to buy the book did not leave, but started reading it on the spot.
"Good, good, good. It lives up to my long wait. It's so well written."
"Yes, Mr. Xue is really a great talent, and his writing style is amazing."
"After reading Mr. Xue's book, I found it boring to read other people's books."
"I am truly blessed to be in the same city as Mr. Xue."
"Is Mr. Xue in the bookstore? I really want to see him."
"..."
Discussions continued, full of admiration and fascination for Xue Zixuan. Xue Zixuan was in the bookstore at this time, listening to the compliments, the smile on his face never stopped.
It feels so good to be praised by these girls. With so many girls, I can do it for free, but it's a pity that not many of them are beautiful.
Qimeng's appearance appeared in his mind, and he thought that after the book sales here were over, he would send Qimeng a copy. It would definitely make Qimeng his fan, and then he could become a fan.
Thinking about the taste, it felt wonderful. For a moment, Xue Zixuan was so excited that his whole body trembled.
Just as he was thinking happily, a young man came over and said, "Master, Miss Liandie from Yihong Mansion would like to invite you to come over and have a talk."
Xue Zixuan's eyes lit up. Liandie was the number one in Yihonglou. Now he invited himself over. He probably wanted to read his new book. Maybe he could take this opportunity to win over Liandie.
Although Liandie is not as beautiful as Qimeng, she can satisfy her craving. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, he picked up a new book and left through the back door.
…
"Boss, the Xue family has already started selling books. When will we start selling books here?"
Yu Qing saw that the six bookstores of the Xue family were doing brisk business. He was a little envious, but also a little worried. There was nothing to say about Xu Ning's books, either in terms of covers or story content.
But it has not been publicized, and no one knows about it. Xu Ning is not famous, and the aroma of this wine is probably too deep.
Now everyone is buying books from the Xue family, and it is impossible to come here. If they can't sell them, the books will be lost.
Although I don’t know how much Xu Ning spent to engrave these books, it is definitely not cheap.
If he loses money, he is afraid that the bookstore will not be able to continue its business and he will lose his job.
Xu Ning smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yu, you and Liang Cong go and pull up this banner."
After saying that, he handed the large colorful banner that he had taken out a long time ago to the two of them. The banner also had the cover pattern painted on it, but it was printed at a one-to-one life-size scale.
Higher definition, richer colors, giving people a strong visual impact.
The seven characters Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are even more impressive.
When the two men pulled up the banner, Xu Ning had already taken out the tape recorder and two large speakers, directly plugged in the USB flash drive and played "Butterfly Lovers".
For a moment, melodious music spread out.
…
"Where does the sound of musical instruments come from? I have never heard it before, but it sounds good."
"Look over there."
Everyone was attracted by the music of "Butterfly Lovers". This is the most classic performance specially selected by Xu Ning. The melodious sound is something that no one in this world has ever heard.
And the melody of the music is different from what they have heard before.
It was so beautiful and so pleasant that everyone felt like they had goosebumps all over their bodies. There was such a beautiful piece of music in this world.
When I looked at the banners outside Xinhua Bookstore again, I was suddenly struck by an unprecedented visual impact.
"Then...what is that? A real person?"
"No! It seems like a painting."
"How is it possible? How is it possible that there is such a realistic painting? It's like people are printed on it."
"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"
"..."
Everyone was talking a lot, and the double bombardment of sight and hearing made their minds shake and their scalps felt numb.
This baptism from modern art made the talented men and women waiting to buy books feel turbulent in their hearts.
"Go over and have a look."
The people at the back are bored waiting anyway. There are so many people who want to buy [Wu Ting Lian], and there is a long queue in front of them. Instead of waiting here, it is better to go over there and watch the excitement.
A swarm of people came to Xinhua Bookstore.
The closer I get, the more realistic the paintings on the banner feel. They are no different from real people.
This is the work of that master. I have never seen such a realistic painting. It is so visually impactful.
When I arrived at the Xinhua Bookstore, I asked and found out that the bookstore also had a new book for sale today, and the name was "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
When asked, the price is 200 per copy, which is more expensive than [Wu Ting Lian].
"You can look at it first and then buy it. If it doesn't look good, you don't have to pay for it."
Yu Qing spoke loudly.
Suddenly someone picked up a book. When he saw the cover, he felt that 200 yuan was not expensive. How could other books have such colorful covers? Then he looked at the signature.
Ning Cong, I don’t know him.
After opening the book and reading a few pages, I was immediately attracted by the content. These readers read very quickly and can remember the content at a glance.
After watching it for the first time, I was shocked.
Straight bitch!
This book is so beautiful, better than any book they have read before!
Especially those ladies who bought [Wu Ting Lian] and came over to join in the fun. They were so fascinated by it that they wished they were Zhu Yingtai in it.
Great book! What a great book!
"Buy it! I'll buy it! No matter how expensive it is, I'll buy it!"
A girl shouted.
"I'll buy it too!"
"And I!"
"Leave me a copy!"
Suddenly, Xinhua Bookstore became popular!
