"Little lady, the letters are all here." Qiu Lu and Xia He each held a large box and placed it on the desk.
They had just gone to Shanhai Book Store to pick up letters from readers, and were surprised by the two large boxes full.
I also heard that Xiao Niangzi’s book has been read by many people. But I didn't expect it to be so popular and receive so many letters from readers.
Both of them stood by with impatient expressions, wondering what these readers would write in their letters.
"You two sit down and watch together." Xu Chengyue said.
How long would it take for her to look through the two big boxes alone?
"Can we also read it, little lady? Isn't it good?" Xia He said in surprise, but also a little hesitant. In her eyes, letters are relatively private and cannot be shown to others casually.
"Of course, you are responsible for helping me select some useful things, such as some opinions and opinions about the book from readers. For other boring things, you don't need to hand them over to me."
Qiu Lu and Xia He felt that they had a heavy task and responded solemnly, "Wei."
Then he eagerly picked up the letter and opened it to read.
"Wow, this letter says that I hope that the little lady of the Chu family can regain her appearance quickly. It is really a waste of resources for such a beautiful woman to act ugly. It will show those who looked down on her before how blind they were." Qiu Lu smiled. Said.
"This man is so shameless. He said that the book written by the young lady is not good and is not organized. He is very knowledgeable about writing articles. He suggested that the young lady show him the rest of the manuscript and he will give her some advice." Xia He An angry look on his face.
Xu Chengyue couldn't help but hold her forehead in silence.
Your abacus is all blown off my face.
"What other readers have to say? It is recommended that the bookstore publishes it once a day. It is really difficult to wait like this."
I publish one volume a day, do you think I am an octopus?
Overall, it was quite harmonious, and most of them praised her for her well-written, exciting and engaging plot. Others were either urging updates or discussing the plot, until Qiu Lu came up with the next letter.
She opened the envelope and unfolded the folded letters.
However, what was written in this letter was not the praise and praise she had seen before.
The text in this letter is very neat, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, the pen peak is restrained, and it does not reveal the dew.
The difference is that the wording is not polite, scolding the ignorant boy for writing randomly.
At the beginning, he said some polite words, but later he seemed to be angry and used all kinds of bad words. It is said that the little lady has read all the books into the dog's belly and tainted the knowledge she has learned. It is better not to read.
Then he criticized the book written by the young lady from all aspects.
Qiu Lu's face turned pale with anger.
Seeing that Qiu Lu's expression was wrong, Xu Chengyue hurriedly took the letter from her hand.
She forgot about this. Unlike her, the two of them had not experienced the ups and downs of the comment section in their previous lives.
It is said that being misunderstood is the fate of the speaker. Author writing is also a form of expression.
Reader reading is actually a secondary creation process. The author can only control his own thoughts when creating, but has no control over how readers will interpret the work in their minds.
The resulting misunderstandings may produce some bitter conflicts between readers and authors.
Although Xu Chengyue did not write any controversial topics in her previous life, it still caused a lot of misunderstandings.
She has developed a strong heart and has become accustomed to it, but she has forgotten whether they have experienced this before.
"Little lady, this person's words are too unpleasant. You'd better stop reading."
Qiu Lu didn't want her to see such words, for fear that she would be sad.
"It's okay, don't worry, don't be angry, just take a look and don't take it to heart."
She was quite curious about how the way of cursing in the Tang Dynasty was different from modern times.
Xu Chengyue saw the good words on the letter first.
Although her calligraphy is not very good, she still has the ability to appreciate it. At a glance, it can be seen that this character must have been written after many years of hard practice.
He must be an old scholar.
Keep reading, it’s as expected.
This person first scolded her for being uneducated and dishonoring the classics, and then criticized her heroine from the beginning to the end from the perspective of etiquette and morality, saying that the three obediences and four virtues were said, and that De Rong, the protagonist, was a failure.
Then, he suggested that she read the Women's Commandments carefully to know what a truly virtuous and virtuous woman is.
Oh, this person didn’t know she was a woman yet. The letter was written with “boy” written all over it, and he only pointed at her nose and scolded her.
After all, Xu Chengyue was not surprised at all by this letter.
Perhaps many people think that the Tang Dynasty was very open and that women were quite free. However, the openness of the Tang Dynasty was only compared to other dynasties. No matter how open it was, it would still be a feudal society.
It was the Tang Dynasty that wrote in the law seven rules for wives, and wrote "Anyone who beats and hurts his wife will be reduced to the second level of a mortal".
Its openness is limited to if you dress up and go out without any cover, others can only talk about it. If you don't listen, they can't do anything to you.
Other dynasties will be directly reviled by others and die.
This is the Tang Dynasty, which paid attention to feudal etiquette while at the same time exceeding etiquette became a common practice.
It is not uncommon for people like the writer to be old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and her novel is not written for such people.
Although Xu Chengyue was angry, she also knew that it was okay to violate the etiquette and laws, but to openly say that the etiquette and laws themselves were wrong was to seek death. Even a generation of empress Wu Emperor had not done something, so how could she, a young author, dare.
——Don’t be angry, she’s not angry, this old guy has broken his guard after reading her book.
Xu Chengyue took a sip of water to hypnotize herself, then forced herself to continue reading.
The creator's emotion is very important. She has to remember this emotion so that she can go "crazy" when writing.
The old man later criticized the punctuation marks, saying that reading sentences is a tradition passed down for many years. Reading sentences into symbols is simply a crooked way. If you don't study well and just take shortcuts, there will be no good results. He scolded her instead of not reading, and replied The family's farmland was turned into a farm.
I made Xu Chengyue laugh. It is true that sentence reading is very important. It occupies a great position in Chinese history and culture. It can help people study ancient Chinese. The first step for every student to learn ancient Chinese is to learn sentence reading.
Even in the college entrance examination in later generations, it is also a required content in the Chinese exam.
However, the convenience of punctuation is undeniable. It reduces the ambiguity caused by improper sentence segmentation and enables readers to understand the meaning of a sentence at a glance. The convenience it brings is unmatched by sentence reading.
But in the eyes of these old scholars, they only think about tradition and style, think this way of seeking convenience is despicable, and do not think about the convenience of cultural transmission brought by this way.
Xu Chengyue gritted her teeth and forced out a ferocious smile.
Old man, I can't do anything about feudal ethics, but I'm very good at debating, just across a piece of paper! Who is afraid of whom!
It's time to show your true power!
.
It must be said that Father Lu was very foresight.
Such a forward-looking publicity method made Shanhai Bookshop instantly popular.
Because of his publicity, many people know about the book Miracle Doctor Poison Concubine.
The ending of the second volume has been lingering in the minds of many people until the third volume was sold.
Everyone was waiting at the door of Shanhai Bookshop early.
Whispering to each other in a long queue.
"Did you buy that book too?"
"Nonsense, what else are you going to do? I've been so anxious waiting these days. I can't even sleep well at night."
…
The shopkeeper peeked out through the crack in the door.
I feel sorry for many people in my heart.
He straightened his clothes and cleared his throat.
After the market drum sounded "dong", the door of the bookstore was opened.
The first person in line had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the shopkeeper, he said happily, "Shopkeeper, is there the third volume?"
"Yes, that's it." The shopkeeper held a stack of books and placed them directly on the counter.
The book was very heavy and made a muffled sound the moment it was placed on the counter.
Everyone came forward one by one to buy.
Seeing the anxiety of everyone queuing and the joy of getting the book, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a sense of elation deep in his heart.
These people can only see it now, and they have to queue up to buy it. Unlike him, he can see the manuscript as soon as it is received at Shanhai Bookstore.
Because he is busy these days, Lang Jun also gave him a salary increase.
The shopkeeper felt extremely happy.
After someone got the book, they cheered happily, "I bought it!"
He happily ran to his relatives and friends, shook the book in his hand, and said in a low voice, "I told you to come earlier, but you two didn't listen."
"How could the two of us have imagined that there would be so many people queuing up to buy a book?"
"Stop talking nonsense, open it and take a look." The speaker snatched the book from the buyer's hand and couldn't wait to open it.
"Hey, why do you have no quality at all? I bought this book. If you want to see it, you can queue up." The man refused and grabbed it back.
"Okay, okay, I owe you one. I'll buy it next time. Take a look."
The three people stood next to each other, heads together, looking attentively.
The first volume mentioned that Chu Muqing met an old slave who called her Madam.
It turned out that the old woman was actually Xu Chengyue's mother's personal maid. At a glance, she could see that underneath Chu Muqing's disguised appearance, she had a similar appearance to Mrs. Chu Muqing's.
We got together after so many years, and the old woman burst into tears.
Chu Muqing asked anxiously what happened that year?
The old woman wiped away her tears and spoke.
Chu's father was a student from a poor family. When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he fell in love with Mrs. Chu. After he became the number one scholar, he asked to marry Mrs. Chu. Chu Muqing's grandfather disagreed. Because Chu's father's family was poor, Mrs. Chu would definitely suffer if she married him.
But Mrs. Chu insisted on marrying, so my grandfather had no choice but to agree to her. After the two got married, he continued to promote Chu's father.
But he didn't expect Chu's father to be a white-eyed wolf. After his grandfather's family was killed, he made trouble and quickly broke off the relationship. He ignored his wife and imprisoned him in the inner courtyard. Then he took his childhood sweetheart cousin from his hometown and married her as Mrs. Ping.
After the cousin entered the house, Father Chu went to Mrs. Chu's yard. The old woman heard the two of them having a big quarrel. After that, Mrs. Chu was depressed and left not long after.
"This Father Chu is really a wolf-hearted man. Mrs. Chu is a noble daughter of a well-known family. She doesn't mind her family being poor, but he is ungrateful and ungrateful."
"Hey, you can't say that. This grandfather committed a serious crime of rebellion. Father Chu's behavior is excusable."
"You actually spoke for him, huh, get my book and stop reading it."
"Hey, let me just say a few words, why are you so impatient? Okay, okay, Father Chu, let's get over it." In order to read this book, the man swallowed his anger.
Chu Muqing asked the old woman what the quarrel between Chu's father and her mother was about.
The old woman said that she was sent out, but she didn't hear it, but in the next few days, the lady kept saying, "They all blame me, because they harmed my father."
Mrs. Chu was already unconscious at that time, and she refused to say anything to her. Later, Chu's father executed all the slaves serving his wife.
She also escaped by chance.
"This seems a little wrong. Could it be that Mrs. Chu leaked the evidence of her father's rebellion and then the matter was exposed?"
