The Luohua Pavilion is ten miles outside Yunmeng City.
Gu Qingqiu was wearing a blue Confucian shirt, holding a folding fan and sitting on a stone bench. There was a box of stone chess pieces placed on the stone table next to him.
He was going back to Kyoto today, but he only said goodbye to Zhongli Wuyou. Of course, many people in Yunmeng didn't know he had been there.
Hong Yuan, who was wearing black clothes, was standing outside the yard and said with excitement: "Teacher, you don't know, the business of that Sanyu Bookstore is so booming! More than 5,000 books are sold every day. This "The Legend of Wu Song" has sold out like never before! Everyone who has read it thinks that this book is far better than other popular novels."
The hand that gently shook the folding fan paused slightly, and the calm expression on Gu Qingqiu's face was in vain, and his eyes as deep as the abyss also moved in an instant.
"What about the book?"
Gu Qingqiu raised his head and stared at Hong Yuan and asked.
"I have already bought it. This book is indeed wonderful! Teacher, take a look!" Hong Yuan was in high spirits and took out a copy of "The Legend of Wu Song" that he had obviously read several times.
Gu Qingqiu opened it for a moment, and the expression on his face became more and more exciting.
After reading for about half an hour, Gu Daru threw "Wu Song Biography" on the table and said sadly: "Mistake, misstep! I actually made a mistake one day!"
Hong Yuan looked at the remorse on the teacher's face and cursed: You are not just seeing things wrong, you are simply blind!
But it was inappropriate to say these words.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the teacher will clean up the door on the spot.
Gu Daru picked up "Wu Song Biography" and started reading it again. The more he saw the brilliance of this book, the more heartbroken he became.
Such a great disciple of mine!
About half an hour later, the great scholar calmed down and quietly stuffed the book into his pocket.
Hong Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't.
"I see Jiang Han... he may not have any big achievements in the future. Isn't it just a novel written well? It's just a small way, a small way. The real way is strategy." Gu Qingqiu said with a faint smile.
Teacher, if you have a fever now, you will probably only be able to speak harshly... Hong Yuan silently cursed.
"The bet I made with Zhongli Wuyou, and the matter he asked me to accept as a disciple... Well, you must remember not to spread the word!" Gu Qingqiu instructed.
He still wants his old face.
Hong Yuan vowed and said in a sincere tone: "Teacher, you know how I, Hong Yuan, am, I have always been tight-lipped and will never reveal a word!"
"Yeah." Gu Qingqiu nodded slightly.
Hong Yuan was silent for a while and said: "Teacher, this "Wu Song Biography" is quite good. I think what Zhongli said is really possible... Do we want to..."
Gu Qingqiu stood up from the stone bench, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Is that "The Biography of Wu Song"... You can represent Qingqiu Hall and buy the right to sell it!"
Hong Yuan nodded and said, "Teacher, how much is the price?"
"You decide for yourself."
"good!"
…
Jiang Han only worked as the shopkeeper of Sanyu Bookstore for three or four days, and then he completely let go and handed over the work to the staff of the bookstore.
The staff of the bookstore are all selected from Ningguo Mansion, and they are all smart people.
Although Sanyu Bookstore currently specializes in selling "Wu Song Biography", the bookstore is crowded every day with people coming to buy books. Some booksellers saw business opportunities and even bought a cart directly back with an ox cart.
Jiang Han only stared at the bookstore for a few days and then left Sanyu Bookstore. The reason was that his wedding to the eldest daughter of Ningguo Mansion was getting closer and there were more things going on.
But daily exercise is indispensable, and Miss Qin insists on whipping him for half an hour every day.
The effects of the whipping were still showing, and Jiang Han could clearly feel that his physical fitness had been strengthened. In the past, his skin and flesh were thin and tender, but now his skin and flesh were firmer, and his punches had some strength.
When fighting with Miss Qin, he could hold on for a minute without being knocked down.
You must know that at the beginning, Jiang Han couldn't last twenty seconds under Miss Qin's posture...offensive...!
Even if he used a weapon and Miss Qin was left empty-handed, he would be disarmed and thrown to the ground in less than thirty seconds.
Today, after practicing boxing for half an hour, Jiang Han was about to go to Sanyu Bookstore to check out the situation. As soon as he arrived at Sanyu Bookstore, he saw a customer.
It was none other than Yin Tingli.
"Brother Jiang, I'm looking for you!" Although he despised this son-in-law who came to Ningguo Mansion, Yin Tingli still came up to him with a smile that he thought was gentle: "I was looking for Brother Jiang for something, but I didn't expect Brother Jiang I came to Sanyu Bookstore, what a coincidence."
Jiang Han was a little surprised by this man's enthusiastic attitude. It seemed like he wasn't familiar with him, right?
Not only was he unfamiliar with her, but he was also his former love rival!
However, he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man, Jiang Han still smiled and said: "Brother Yin, why are you here looking for me? Well, don't stand at the door talking for now, please come in quickly."
In the living room inside the library, the two sat down as guests. Jiang Han waved his hand and asked the library staff to make two bowls of tea.
After the tea was served, Jiang Han took a sip. It was bitter and astringent, and the taste was inferior to the tea in his previous life.
Tea in this world is also called tea soup, and various seasonings are often added to the tea leaves. The taste is sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. Jiang Han, a modern person, found it difficult to accept it, so he ordered his maid to make tea without adding seasonings. The ingredients are good, and it is much easier to drink.
He put down the tea bowl, looked at Yin Dinli and said, "Brother Yin is here to buy books?"
Yin Tingli shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to discuss a business deal with Brother Jiang."
Yin Tingli picked up the tea and sniffed it. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he put the tea bowl back on the table. He did not show off and said, "My second uncle is a deacon at Yuting Bookstore. There are also people in Yunmeng City." The branch of Yuting Bookstore...I came here this time because I took a fancy to Brother Jiang's "The Biography of Wu Song" and wanted to buy the right to sell this book."
Jiang Han's expression changed slightly. Authorizing "The Biography of Wu Song" to Yuting Bookstore to sell it was indeed a good choice!
In this way, he not only has an additional channel to sell books, but also can quickly expand his literary reputation with the help of Yuting Bookstore!
It’s just the price…
Jiang Han was a little moved, smiled and said, "I wonder how much Brother Yin will bid?"
Seeing that he was tempted, Yin Tingli smiled and said: "My Yin family can pay five hundred taels of silver to purchase the sole rights to sell "Wu Song Biography" in Dayu. In addition, for every copy of "Wu Song Biography" sold, I will You can give Brother Jiang one point of commission income. If you have no objection, we will sign a document now."
When Jiang Han heard this, his expression darkened.
Five hundred taels to buy the book selling rights of "The Legend of Wu Song"? One cent of commission income, is this a way to send beggars away?
