I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"It's okay, just stand for a while."

After chatting for a few words, Gu Ming took out a tael of silver and a hundred copper coins from his body and stuffed them.

"Uncle Wu, there's not much money, you take it first."

"No, no, I really can't accept your money. If you hadn't helped our family to file a lawsuit, you wouldn't have done it"

"Uncle Wu, there's no need to mention the past, you all have to eat."

After refusing for a while, Uncle Wu finally accepted it with tears in his eyes.

"Alas!" Gu Ming couldn't help sighing, and glanced at Wu Ersao, who had dull eyes: "It's nothing to persuade her, maybe one day the case will be overturned, and her illness will be cured."

Uncle Wu shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed that he had completely given up hope of overturning the case.

Before leaving, Nie Xiaoqian quietly left a tael of silver in the house.

The Wu family didn't pay attention, but Gu Ming saw it, and couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart

Chapter 23 Go a little further, be careful not to splash your blood! "

"Young master, you were helping their family with the lawsuit before?"

When leaving, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help expressing her doubts.

"En!" Gu Ming nodded, and briefly explained the reason for the matter.

"It turns out that this is the case. After I go back, I must tell my father and let him try the case again."

"No, now is not the time." Gu Ming waved his hand: "Qin Shou personally tried this case, and your father took office not long ago, so you can't beat him."

"Can"

"Xiaoqian, I understand your feelings, but now is really not the time, it will only drag your father into the water.

At that point, there's really no wiggle room.

Therefore, after you go back, you can tell your father the specific situation, so that he can have an idea in his mind.

As for the retrial, wait until the time is right. "

"Alright!"

It's not that Nie Xiaoqian is ignorant of the pros and cons. To win this lawsuit, in addition to strong evidence, there must be something that makes Qin Shou fearful.

Otherwise, the other party will also reverse black and white.

When the sun fell, the homeowner finally rushed to the tavern.

The two parties sat down and chatted for a while, Gu Ming got straight to the point and said: "Shopkeeper Sha, I want to pay the rent for five years in one lump sum, which is 40 taels of silver.

During this period, no excuses are allowed to increase the rent. What do you think? "

"Well, shopkeeper Zheng has already told me before, the problem is not big."

"Also, without affecting the main building, I would like to modify some facilities in the courtyard, is that okay?"

Shopkeeper Sha was straightforward, and replied: "These are minor problems, as long as the main body of the house is not damaged.

But I also have a request. Once the 40 taels of silver are handed over, no matter what happens in the middle, I can't make excuses to return it. "

Both sides had their own thoughts, you came and I negotiated for a while, and finally reached an agreement, it can be said that everyone is happy.

Therefore, with the shopkeeper Zheng as the guarantor, the three parties signed and pledged, and each left a copy of the agreement, and then handed over the money and the key.

As soon as he left the tavern, Gu Ming gave He Yongliang some instructions.

Then Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er were sent back to the county government office, and they agreed to go to the yard together in two days to take a look at the layout and so on.

To put it bluntly, make excuses to date.

When he returned to Zhaobei Street, He Yongliang was already waiting outside, with an ax and a saw under his feet.

This is because Gu Ming decided to cut down the jujube tree to avoid future troubles.

"Xing, that tree is not small. How can we two weak scholars manage to move it? Why don't you spend some money and find someone to cut it down?"

"Looking for someone for such a trivial matter? Go, I'll treat you to a drink after the chopping is over."

"Drinking belongs to drinking, but we really can't cut it"

Shortly after.

He Yongliang watched with a dazed expression on Gu Ming's nimbleness as he ran up the tree like an ape, and swung his ax to chop off the branches.

It was almost done, and then slid down the tree and began to chop.

With that posture, how can he look like a scholar?Just a professional tree feller.

"Go away, be careful not to splash your blood!"

Seeing that the cut was almost done, Gu Ming waved his hand and yelled at He Yongliang.

"boom!"

A loud bang shook half the street.

"what happened?"

"earthquake?"

"Who's messing around?"

At this time, the culprit, Gu Ming, was looking at the fallen jujube tree with satisfaction, dropped his ax and clapped his hands.

"Great!"

He Yongliang gave a thumbs up sincerely.

"Go, have a drink!"

Gu Ming raised his hand, put away the tools lazily, turned around and walked outside.

He Yongliang salivated: "Since you are so happy, why don't you drink flower wine."

"Spend your sister's wine!"

"Hey, it's not like you haven't been there before. Why, now that Miss Nie is here, you don't even dare to drink flower wine?"

"roll!"

After drinking, Gu Ming returned home and started writing The Story of the West Chamber as soon as possible.

Now that the yard was rented, the book had to be printed before the study opened.

After all, printing still needs a process and time.

First of all, to find a relatively cheap workshop, of course, there are not many choices. There are only two small workshops in Guobei County.

After negotiating the price, the other party must first typesetting and proofreading, and then start printing after confirming that it is correct.

As for the printing quantity, the system requires [-] copies, but Gu Ming plans to print [-] copies first.

To put it bluntly, the greater the volume of printed matter, the lower the cost per book.

When I wrote it in the middle of the night, I planned to go to bed and rest.As a result, he had a flash of inspiration, and continued to work for a while before falling out of bed.

After dawn, continue to set up stalls.

However, today's signboard is different, replaced by a simple figure picture, which shows a scholar and a woman.

It is accompanied by words: blue sky, yellow flowers, westerly wind is tight, and geese fly south.Who will be stained with frost and drunk in the forest?Always leave people in tears.

Right above is the theme of the painting: Romance of the West Chamber.

In addition, there is a big sign on the booth: The new book The Story of the West Chamber will be printed and released soon, so stay tuned.

These are just what I came up with last night.

"Come, come, everyone, don't miss it when you pass by"

After setting up the stall, I started shouting again.

"Huh? Scholar of The West Chamber, have you written a new book?"

"Where is the book? Why didn't I see it?"

Gu Ming explained with a smile: "The book hasn't been finished yet, but it's almost there, so it will be typesetting and printed into a booklet in the past few days."

"Oh, what about Du Shiniang? Is there a sequel?"

"Not yet"

It doesn't matter if you sell it for money or not, Gu Ming's main purpose now is to choose a trend for The Story of the West Chamber, and first warm up to attract popularity.

From time to time, people gathered around to ask questions curiously.

"What is this book about?"

"Generally speaking, a down-and-out scholar meets a lady from an official family, and the two fall in love at first sight."

Love story is an eternal topic.

Especially in the ancient background, the degree of YY among the common people far exceeds that of later generations.

Therefore, there will be a large number of beautiful love stories in which poor scholars marry princesses, fairies, even grass python heroes, undead knights, etc. in one step.

It is precisely because Gu Ming knows these things that he can avoid detours and choose some classic novels from his previous life to write.

Romance of the West Chamber is undoubtedly a very successful book.

In the future, maybe you can also write Journey to the West, The Legend of the White Snake, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Mirror Flowers and so on.

"Huh? Boy, is this what you wrote?"

Others didn't pay attention, but Wu Laoqi noticed a detail, and couldn't help but lean forward to observe it carefully.

"Nonsense, could it be you who wrote it?"

"No, how did this level improve so much? I'm almost catching up with the old man."

These words are simply putting gold on the old face.

Not to mention now, but in the past, Wu Laoqi's writing was called immortal calligraphy, and sometimes he didn't even know what he wrote.

"This is called epiphany, do you understand? Thanks to you, you are still a half-immortal."

On the same day, another manuscript Du Shiniang was sold at a price of 200 yuan, as well as two endings in the Shameless and Shameless version.

In the afternoon, Gu Ming closed the booth early and went home to continue writing novels.

I am happy!

Chapter 24 I don't, I really don't, I really don't...

Inadvertently, the day of the appointment arrived.

Gu Ming came to the county government office according to the appointment. Unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er were already standing outside looking forward to it.

Gu Ming took a few steps, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm a little late."

Nie Xiaoqian was reasonable and responded with a smile: "It's not that you came late, it's that Yu'er and I came a little earlier."

What a considerate woman.

"Young Master Gu, nothing strange happened in that yard again?"

Yu'er is quite bold on weekdays, but she has been afraid of hearing ghost stories since she was a child.

"Don't worry, the trees have been cut down."

Having said that, Yu'er finally looked better.

However, when the group of three came to Zhaobei Street, the girl didn't know whether she was still afraid or avoided it on purpose, and ran away in a hurry under the pretext of going to see Yanzhi.

This hit Gu Ming's heart, and he secretly praised Yu'er in his heart.

Entering the courtyard, Nie Xiaoqian carefully looked at the surrounding environment and made some suggestions.

"There can be a corridor leading to the backyard, which not only looks elegant, but also provides shade and shelter from the rain."

"Well, that makes sense."

Not far away, Nie Xiaoqian's foot slipped
