"Brother Zixuan, after today, you will reach an unprecedented height in the Gyeongju literati circle."
The bitch Li Kun spoke with a flattering look.
"Yes, yes, I went to see it this morning. There were so many people waiting in line. I'm sure that Brother Zixuan's name will be heard throughout the Zhou Dynasty soon."
"To be honest, to be able to call brother Zixuan a brother, I even doubt whether there is smoke coming out of my ancestral grave."
"There are many literati who have published books in Qingzhou. I am sure that no one will reach the height of Brother Zixuan within ten years."
"No one will reach it within not just ten years, but even fifty years. Not to mention Qingzhou, even other cities and towns may not be able to produce such great talents and writers as Brother Zixuan!"
"..."
The three losers took turns complimenting him, and Xue Zixuan felt very happy. This feeling of being complimented was really great.
Talk more, I'd love to hear it.
At this time, Liandie finished her dance and came over, pouring wine for Xue Zixuan, with a smile on her charming face: "Mr.
Xue Zixuan laughed loudly, drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Miss Liandie, it's not too early now. You have danced so many dances for me, and you should be tired. Why don't you go to your room, and I will accompany you?" You talk."
There was a blush on Liandie's face. Of course she understood Xue Zixuan's words, but she was already prepared for this today.
Regardless of Xue Zixuan's family background, the fact that the books he wrote were so beautiful and popular made Liandie a little heart-warming.
After all, as I said before, great talents are liked by brothel girls.
Of course, some things must be said clearly. Liandie whispered: "Then Mr. Xue is willing to redeem his life for me?"
"Yes, of course I am willing!"
Xue Zixuan was overjoyed. If Liandie said this, it meant that he was willing to marry him. Although Liandie was the number one and the money-spinner of the brothel, no matter who he was, he wanted to redeem his life for Liandie. How dare the madam disagree.
At this moment, Liandie's maid hurried in and whispered a few words into Liandie's ear.
Lian Die frowned slightly, and Xue Zixuan smiled and said, "What's wrong? If you tell me what happened, there will be nothing in Qingzhou that I can't solve."
Liandie said: "Mr.
Xue Zixuan smiled and said: "He must be here to announce the good news to me. Please let him in."
Liandie nodded to the maid, and the maid went out. Not long after, shopkeeper Tong ran in.
"Shopkeeper Tong, I know my books are selling well, so you don't need to come here to report." Xue Zixuan said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Tong said hurriedly: "Mr. Xue, if you really want your books to sell well, I won't come to you. Our business has been robbed."
"Um?"
Xue Zixuan was stunned.
But I heard shopkeeper Tong continue: "Everyone who came to the bookstore to buy books today went to Xinhua Bookstore. They also released a new book and snatched away all our customers."
"You have sold less than two hundred copies of your book since morning, while Xinhua Bookstore has sold at least tens of thousands of copies."
"impossible!"
Xue Zixuan stood up suddenly. He sold tens of thousands of copies in one day. How popular this must be. According to his calculations, his new book would be limited to only a few thousand copies in a day.
"Three Lives" can sell a million copies, but it was sold gradually later, and it did not sell so many copies in a short period of time.
Nowadays, Xinhua Bookstore’s books sell tens of thousands of copies in one day, while his books only sell less than 200 copies. How is this possible!
Who can beat me in writing a book?
But shopkeeper Tong would definitely not lie. His face turned ugly for a moment. He was bragging just now that his new book would set a new record, but he was immediately slapped in the face.
"What book is the other party selling?" Xue Zixuan said coldly.
Shopkeeper Tong hurriedly took out a book from his arms and put it on the table. He also went to buy one. He was so fascinated by it that he forgot the time. He should have come to Xue Zixuan long ago just because of reading. Lost track of time.
And after reading the book, what impressed him most was not the male and female protagonists, but the two villains, Xue Tao and Li Kun. When reading the book, he wanted to rush into the book and beat these two people up.
At this time, several people's eyes also fell on the book that shopkeeper Tong took out.
I was immediately attracted to this cover.
Oh my God!
There is such a beautiful cover in this world, and the characters in this painting look so similar.
Hey, why do the two men at the back look a bit like Xue Zixuan and Li Kun.
Xue Zixuan also noticed it, and hurriedly picked up the book and flipped through it a few times. His lungs were about to explode with anger. Although the villain in the book was named Xue Tao, but Zixuan, wasn't this about himself?
How unreasonable!
He slammed the book to the ground and said angrily: "Who wrote this book?"
Shopkeeper Tong said hurriedly: "I don't know, but the shopkeeper of Xinhua Bookstore is Yu Qing."
Li Kun said from the side: "Brother Zixuan, we met Yu Qing and the others in the book engraving workshop a few days ago. Aren't they eager to publish a book? The signature is Ning Cong. Could it be that loser Liang Cong?"
"And Xu Ning!"
Xue Zixuan also realized that Ning Cong was the combined names of Xu Ning and Liang Cong.
These two bastards actually dared to write a book to humiliate him. It was simply too much!
It's just that Xue Zixuan couldn't figure out how the other party's book was engraved when the whole Qingzhou was engraving his book.
Seeing Xue Zixuan so angry, the three henchmen did not dare to speak.
Liandie on the side picked up the book, flipped through it, and her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. She had already read the "Wu Ting Lian" that Xue Zixuan brought to her before. At that time, she felt that the writing was so good. I am afraid it would be difficult to find a book as good as the one in the world. A comparable book.
That's why he decided to let Xue Zixuan redeem himself.
But now that I saw this [Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai], I realized what a good book is. The language in the book is beautiful, the characters are rich, and the story is clear.
I don’t know how much better than [Wu Ting Lian].
She quietly put the book into her sleeve, preparing to savor it later. As for [Wu Ting Lian] that Xue Zixuan gave her, she was not ready to read it anymore.
It's like watching Hollywood blockbusters and then watching those bad movies, you will feel boring and can't watch them.
Xue Zixuan was no longer in the mood to be Liandie's guest.
In the book, he is written as a villain, and the cover also depicts him. Even if you don't think of him, Xue Zixuan, when you look at the cover, you will definitely know it's him as long as you see his name in the book.
Xu Ning is trying to ruin his reputation!
The character and reputation he had worked so hard to create were finally turned into a villain by Xu Ning. The key was that the book was so popular that if his fans read it, they would definitely lose their followers.
This is intolerable!
But now he has nothing to do. The other party sells books normally. Even though he is implicitly referring to him, he can't stop Xinhua Bookstore from selling books.
uncle!
At this time, I had no choice but to find my uncle. I used the power of the county magistrate to seal Xinhua Bookstore and burn the remaining books to see how he could sell them.
