The last "Wu Song Biography" became popular as soon as it went on sale. Firstly, the preface written by Zhongli Daru attracted many readers, and secondly, "Wu Song Biography" itself is of extremely high quality.
Originally, Qingqiutang mainly focused on novels about ghosts and monsters. However, after the sale of "The Legend of Wu Song", the novels about ghosts and ghosts were directly swept away.
The purpose of Zeng Si's visit this time is also very simple.
"No one could have imagined the popularity of "The Legend of Wu Song". After seeing the popularity of "The Legend of Wu Song", many imitation works appeared. Among them, Yuting Shuxing successively launched three similar works to "The Legend of Wu Song". Popular novels, one of which was written by Sanchi Qingfeng, a well-known novelist in Kyoto, and driven by Yuting Shuxing, its sales volume is only slightly lower than that of "Wu Song Biography"," Zeng Si said.
Jiang Han said: "Three feet of green front?"
Zeng Sidao: "This person's real name is not known, but his writing power is extraordinary, and his popular novels are appreciated by both refined and popular people. He is a member of the Jade Court Bookstore, and he is also the only one who does not know his real name, but is called one of the three great talents in Kyoto. of."
After a pause, Zeng Si continued: "So, Qingqiutang hopes that Mr. Jiang can write another popular novel... Of course, Qingqiutang takes into account what Mr. Jiang has experienced recently, so he just hopes that Mr. Jiang can write it before the end of this year. To publish a popular novel, the price offered by Qingqiutang will not be lower than that of "The Legend of Wu Song."
Jiang Han said: "I understand. I do have some ideas recently, but I have been delayed by various things."
Thinking of the turmoil that Ning Guo Mansion had gone through, Zeng Si couldn't help but sympathize with Jiang Han and said, "Besides that, there is one more thing. The hall master hopes to invite you to Kyoto to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival next month."
It's the Dragon Boat Festival Festival again... Jiang Han said: "Is this Dragon Boat Festival Festival very grand?"
Zeng Sidao: "Of course. The Dragon Boat Festival will not only invite talents from various prefectures in Dayu to participate, but also invite talents from other countries. There is a lot of luck. This year's Dragon Boat Festival is organized by the Imperial Academy's Jijiu Festival, Qingqiu Hall, Yutingshu Yes, Haitang Hall has sponsorship and will also send talented people to participate. If Mr. Jiang can participate on behalf of Qingqiu Hall, Qingqiu Hall is willing to give Mr. Jiang a satisfactory price."
Jiang Han nodded and said, "I will consider it when the time comes."
Zeng Si asked doubtfully: "Master Jiang doesn't seem to want to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Jiang Han sighed: "After experiencing this turmoil, I just want to stay at home and study poetry. I really don't want to attend any literary gatherings."
In fact, he just wanted to practice martial arts well, and the improvement of his literary reputation was not that important.
"It's okay. If you figure it out, Qingqiutang will be here at any time." Zeng Si said.
After sending Zeng Si away, Jiang Han had trouble with the popular novel.
He did have something ready-made in his mind that he could copy, but one person couldn't support the entire Sanyu Bookstore.
He had thought about this before, and the solution was to find some down-and-out scholars to ghostwrite for him.
But Ningguo Mansion experienced a turmoil, and many employees of Sanyu Bookstore were dispersed.
I can't find the right person yet.
In the afternoon, Jiang Han went to see Zhou Hu. Zhou Hu's injury had not yet recovered and he was still lying in bed, but his energy and energy were much better.
Seeing his uncle coming to see him, he was so excited that he wanted to get up from the bed.
Jiang Han sat beside the bed and comforted him, "Thanks to you for being able to make a comeback this time. You have a good rest."
Zhou Hu said: "Master, what will happen to Zhang Yang and the others?"
Jiang Han said: "Killing a good person and taking merit will be punished by hanging according to law!"
Zhou Hu's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth and said, "They are really getting an advantage!"
His eyes seemed to reflect the light of hatred.
Jiang Han suddenly remembered that Butler Qin had said that Zhou Hu was an orphan, and then recalled the record about Zhou Hu on the Limingsi Intelligence Network: Zhou Hu was from Jiangzhou.
Coupled with Zhou Hu's various anomalies when he mentioned Zhang Yang before, and why he took the risk to attack Zhang Yang, I am afraid there is another reason besides repaying gratitude.
Jiang Han felt that he might have guessed most of it.
"The criminal will be escorted to Kyoto and obey the orders of His Majesty. According to the law, he will be hanged. However... it is possible that Zhang Yang commits suicide out of fear of crime."
Jiang Han muttered to himself, "One day, I will hand this person over to you. It is up to you to cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts, and it is up to you to skin him and cramp him."
After saying that, he walked out of the room.
Zhou Hu was stunned, and suddenly stood up, with tears in his eyes, he kowtowed heavily in the direction Jiang Han was leaving, and hissed: "Master, Zhou Hu is yours from now on!"
…
Jiang Han naturally didn't know that Zhou Hu was conquered by just these words. He just felt that Zhou Hu was most likely Zhang Yang's enemy, and Zhang Yangruo's death by hanging was just too light.
Originally, it would be extremely difficult to replace an important criminal.
But fortunately, he has the tokens of Li Mingsi and Night Watch Division.
And the status is not low.
…
In the afternoon, Jiang Han was practicing calligraphy, while Qin Muqing was lying on the table and looking at him with his face sideways.
I can’t get enough of it!
At this time, Miss Qin came over with a maid.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
Qin Muqing stood up and said, "Qingyan, why are you here? Come here quickly."
The second young lady walked over gracefully, sat on a chair, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Sister and brother-in-law are really like the fairy couple mentioned in the play, people are so envious!"
Although Qin Muqing and Jiang Han were already married, it was a little unnatural for his sister to praise him like this. He said, "Qingyan, you will have it in the future."
Qin Qingyan suddenly became a little lonely and said, "Will I really be there in the future?"
Qin Muqing's heart ached slightly. Qingyan had a serious illness when she was very young. She has been very weak since then. She would cough violently if she was exposed to the slightest wind. She would be out of breath if she walked a little faster. She wanted to find a husband. Thousands of difficulties.
Second Miss Qin quickly put away her lonely expression, looked at Jiang Han and asked doubtfully: "Brother-in-law, what are you writing? Is it your poetry?"
Ps: Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
