Zheng Guogong and his family were having dinner in a informal manner. The family members were chatting and laughing among themselves, which was very lively.
Logically speaking, one should not go in and disturb them at this time.
But Zheng Guogong specially ordered that the storybooks and newspapers should be delivered as soon as possible after buying them, so the boy boldly presented them.
As expected, Zheng Guogong was not angry and said cheerfully: "Hey, we arrived so soon today."
After saying that, I couldn't wait to pick up the book and start reading it before eating.
Since his unsatisfactory hobby became known to the whole family, Zheng Guogong became more and more unrestrained, not to mention that he also made meritorious deeds based on this book!
Others looked away, pretending not to see.
Zheng Sanniang watched helplessly from the side. Due to the large number of people present, including her brothers, sisters-in-law, and brothers and sisters, she had to save some face for Aye and prevent her from trying to rob him.
Zheng Guogong was completely immersed in it and didn't care about other people's eyes.
The book in this volume talks about how the emperor seemed to think highly of King Jiang, but in fact his favorite son was King Jia. He just used King Jiang as a shield to protect his favorite son.
The reason why he married Luo Muqing to Prince Jiang was because Luo Muqing was the only one left in the family and had no good reputation. This can prevent King Jiang from relying on marriage to get into the powerful Yue family and weaken his competitiveness for the throne.
"Although each of the five fingers has its own length, it would be too partial. Prince Jiang is also his own son, how could he..." Zheng Guogong sighed, and then thought of the heroine Luo Muqing's father. Each of these people is more ruthless than the other.
The emperor's order cannot be violated, and Prince Jiang and Luo Muqing can only get married.
At the wedding banquet, Prince Jiang made many enemies because he was the emperor's deliberate target. However, he had never had any weaknesses, but now he married a faceless girl in his second marriage, which immediately attracted ridicule and ridicule from other princes.
When the fan ceremony was being performed, they all looked like they were watching a good show.
"Ha!" Zheng Guogong sneered, feeling that these people were really ignorant and ridiculous.
Wait until you regret it!
Those who were still mocking her a moment ago did not expect that when the fan slowly moved away, the face of a stunning beauty was revealed.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and several people, including King Li, exclaimed, "It's you!"
Like water splashing into a frying pan, everyone started to commotion.
Those who had seen her true appearance but didn't know she was Luo Muqing looked ugly and regretful.
"Hahahahahaha, I'm calling you dogs and looking down on others, I'm calling you fools and ignorant. You used to look down on others, but now you know how powerful they are! Go ahead and regret it!" Zheng Guogong, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, laughed loudly, completely Regardless of the collapse of his own image.
What a relief!
Let's say that after Luo Muqing married King Jiang, they became people on the same boat. They kept dealing with the incoming storms, waves and butterflies, while dealing with the emperor's difficulties. During this period, you and I came and went, and feelings secretly arose.
Zheng Guogong blushed and his heart skipped a beat, as if he had gone back to the time when he was young and Mu Ai. Just because of his sweetheart's words, he tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep for a long time.
It seems that after he and his wife had a child, they never had the same days of playing together and reciting poems. The two of them worked hard to support the family.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch my wife's hand on the case, and said in a lingering and affectionate tone: "Madam, let's go to Laojun Mountain to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. The children have grown up, and you and I are husband and wife. The two of you should relax a bit."
The Duke's wife never expected that he would say this, in front of the children, and facing pairs of curious and shining eyes. She, who was used to being a dignified and steady matron, couldn't help but blush and turned away angrily. His hand, "How old are you? You're not ashamed to say this. Read your crappy book!"
Zheng Guogong retracted his hand and had no choice but to continue reading.
The book writes that King Jia finally learned from Luo Muqing that the sweetheart he had not been able to find since he was imprisoned in the Chu family was now in Prince Li's Mansion.
King Li became interested in the affair and fell in love with Luo Muqing who showed his true face. He hated Chu Muxue, the culprit who caused his harmonious relationship, and treated her harshly in every possible way.
When King Jia learned about this, he was furious and turned against King Li. He snatched Chu Muxue away and confessed to her that he didn't care about her past and only wanted to have a future with her. The two of us live together in the Prince Jia's Mansion every day, how sweet it is.
"Hey, he is still a love saint!" Zheng Guogong kept frowning as he looked at them. For some reason, his heart couldn't beat when he looked at this pair, and his teeth ached.
Not long after, the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for Prince Jia, who was already of marriageable age, and he chose the beloved daughter of General Zhenguo. General Zhenguo was in charge of the military, and a marriage with his family would be even more powerful for King Jia.
This is the end of this volume.
Zheng Guogong thought secretly, with King Jia's behavior, he would definitely not compromise, and now there was a conflict between the two. I don’t know what will happen to King Jiang and Lady Luo.
After reading the book, Zheng Guogong was satisfied and proudly opened the newspaper to study.
That’s right, study!
Zheng Guogong was born as a military general, but he did not have the aloofness of those literati. He had to be brave enough to admit good things. This newspaper explained things in a simple and profound way, which was just right for a person like him who was not highly educated. It made him understand many important affairs of government that he had not understood before.
The next time you meet those old guys who are just talking about words, you can have a few words to argue with them.
As he looked at it, he noticed this unusual article.
The article was about the plagiarism of "The Poisonous Concubine, a Miracle Doctor" by Shanhai Bookstore.
Zheng Guogong read quickly, always skipping words, and glanced over, frowning in confusion, what is going on? Isn't this the same thing?
Take another closer look - wow, it's really different.
The newspaper explained the cause and effect of the incident and called on everyone to support the genuine article. Finally, as a thank you to readers for their support, all users of genuine books can come to the book store to receive a portrait of Luo Muqing, the protagonist of the story, after the book is completed.
portrait? What kind of portrait?
Zheng Guogong held his head high and held his chest high. He was a genuine reader, so of course he was qualified to have a portrait.
.
Mountain posters have attracted enthusiastic responses from everyone as soon as they appeared. Reading mountain posters has now become a part of daily life for many people.
This article specially stated by Shanhai Bookstore naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Plagiarism in articles is not very rare these days.
Many celebrities' articles and poems have been plagiarized. These celebrities relied on their charisma and talents to have many supporters, especially among scholars.
They often hate this kind of thing, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Although Xu Chengyue's articles were liked by the common people, they were both praised and criticized by scholars, and most of them viewed them with contempt. They also like to watch, but that doesn't stop them from scolding while watching.
Because plagiarism is deeply disgusting.
This time, they did not comment on the rights or wrongs of the article or criticize the article's views. Instead, they unanimously stood on Xu Chengyue's side.
"These word thieves are so abominable! Last time, they pieced together Mr. Taixuan's poem and made it look completely different."
"And I published it openly, thinking that others wouldn't find out."
"People like this are not worthy of writing articles at all!"
"Despicable and shameless! Worse than a pig or a dog!"
As soon as this article came out, public opinion turned towards Xu Chengyue.
Everyone cursed and nailed Shanhe Bookstore to the pillar of shame.
.
The owner of Shanhe Bookstore came to the bookstore to investigate.
He looked at the slightly dilapidated book shop proudly.
Such a bookstore, which was originally very poorly run, was revitalized when it came into his hands. It seems that he still has a talent for business!
When the shopkeeper saw him, he hurriedly came out to greet him and said worriedly, "Lang Jun, people outside are scolding our book now, accusing us of plagiarism. The evaluation is very bad!"
The owner waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What's the use of just criticizing? As long as our prices are low, people will still come to buy books."
What does it mean to be scolded? Still the most affordable for the money you get. As soon as they discussed it, more people knew about Shanhe Bookshop.
The shopkeeper hesitated, "There have been no customers in the bookstore for the past two days, so not a single book has been sold."
The owner was shocked when he heard this, "How is that possible? Are there still people who are leaving the cheap ones aside and buying more expensive ones?"
That’s not right! It was obviously selling well a few days ago.
"They have lowered the price to less than half of the original price."
"Aren't they making money? Such a low price is completely a loss-making business. What a waste of money. Let's all go drink the northwest wind." The owner said angrily.
You made a good start first! The shopkeeper cursed inwardly.
"They use cheaper paper, so the cost is kept down and the book price is lower."
"We also use cheaper paper." The owner said through gritted teeth. He had never been afraid of anyone comparing the price.
"The price cannot be lower than that of Shanhai Bookstore. No matter how low it is, we will lose money."
The master slumped in his chair blankly. Is his career over like this?
.
Although Lu Hongzhuo supported Xu Chengyue's method without hesitation, he was also a little unsure in his heart.
The books are divided into hardcover and paperback books - the name was given by Xu Chengyue, and Lu Hongzhuo thought it was very appropriate. This move is also risky, because if paperback books appear, their original hardcover sales will definitely be affected.
The results of this are unpredictable.
He was mentally prepared that the total profit should be lower, but the measures taken out of necessity were the best response they could think of now.
What he didn't expect was that the people were very supportive of this. The sales of hardcover books dropped, but at the same time, the sales of paperback books also increased, with the number sold more than two or three times more than before. Total profits did not go down, but went up.
