I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"If you had said this earlier, you should have taken her to the Yamen and locked her up for a few days."

"Don't worry!" Gu Ming waved his hands and said, "The Zhou family has done a lot of evil, and sooner or later they will suffer retribution."

"Well, after I go back, I will tell my father and ask him to secretly collect some crimes against the Zhou family, so that I can ask the teacher for the crime."

Not long after, the three of them walked to the gate of the county government office together.

"Okay, I won't send you in. Yu'er, don't be too sad, go back and rest for a while, and you'll be fine in two days."

"Well, thank you Mr. Gu."

Yu'er gave a blessing.

"Then let's go back first."

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes seemed a little reluctant.

"Well, don't go out for the next two days, and spend more time with Yu'er. I will come to you when I am free."

After speaking, Gu Ming waved goodbye and left.

When I got home, I drank a large bowl of cold water first, then lay on the bed and thought about my thoughts for a while.

"Forget it, finish writing first."

I don't know how long it took, I couldn't help but sighed, got up and continued writing The Story of the West Chamber.

Two days later.

Romance of the West Chamber has finally been "created".

Gu Ming took the manuscript and ran to find He Yongliang, saying that they would go to the printing workshop to negotiate the price together and prepare to print the book.

"Let me appreciate it first." He Yongliang picked up the manuscript and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but groan: "Xing, judging from my eyes, this book will definitely sell well."

Isn't this nonsense?

Anyway, it is also a classic masterpiece handed down in previous lives.

Of course, in face, Gu Ming still said modestly: "Thanks to Brother Le Ping's compliment, I will lend you a good word."

"but"

As a result, He Yongliang's words changed.

"What? What's the problem?"

"Xing, since the two of us have boarded the same boat, I will speak frankly.

The plot of the book is okay and exciting enough.However, do you feel a little monotonous? "

"Oh? Brother Le Ping, what's your opinion?"

"I think it can be accompanied by a cover picture, and some illustrations of characters can be appropriately added in the book, which will be more attractive.

For example, what this Zhang Sheng, this Cui Yingying looks like, you have to let people know.

In this way, the book is bound to become a better seller. "

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Before, Gu Ming only thought about printing it into a book, and really didn't think about illustrations.

Even if he thought about it, with his current painting skills, it is impossible to personally provide illustrations.

"Haha, Brother Le Ping, based on your suggestion, if the book sells well by then, I will definitely give you a dividend."

"Don't just talk about it, let's be realistic, how much dividends will we give?"

Gu Ming thought for a while, and said, "In this way, as long as there are more than three hundred volumes, how about giving you 20 for each volume?"

There is actually another reason for saying this. If there is a dividend, this guy will definitely sell it hard, so why not do it?

"Okay, it's a little less, but it's better than nothing, I'll do the illustrations."

Gu Ming immediately shook his head: "You? Come on, as far as your level of painting is concerned, you are not as good as me."

"It's not me, it's a friend of mine, the painter who lives in Qingyuan Town."

"Dong Sheng?"

Gu Ming's eyes lit up.

Readers, wake up?As long as there are more votes or more rewards, Saburo will definitely add more

Chapter 27 Meet Akiichi again!

To mention this Dong Sheng, he is considered a little famous in Guobei County.

Especially in the circle of scholars, and some romantic places, his name is even more resounding.

This person was originally named Dong Sheng, and he was admitted to the show at the age of 14. Many people thought that it should not be difficult for him to win the exam.

Unexpectedly, this guy was obsessed with painting and eventually abandoned his studies.

I never thought that I would become famous while painting.

What he is best at is line drawing, especially the figure drawing is a must.

Because the inscriptions on the paintings are all in the name of Dong Sheng, so everyone also calls them Dong Sheng.

The reason why he is quite famous in Fengyue place is because he is not doing business properly.

Just in response to an old saying: since ancient times, people have been more romantic.

Dong Sheng can be described as a typical example.

Happy wine, happy painting, happy beauty.

He visited all the large and small romantic places in Guobei County.

Of course, this expense is really not small.

In order to make more money, I actually started painting the kind of small picture books that everyone knows.

Coupled with some provocative words, the combination of pictures and pictures makes it even more addictive.

Not only men like to watch it, but also the girls in the garden like it.

Sometimes, the girls would ask him to draw a portrait, and when they were done, they would give him some money back.

For Dong Sheng, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Two years ago, there was no reason why he left the county suddenly and moved back to his hometown in Qingyuan Town.

"Well, the character pictures drawn by Dong Sheng are really good."

Gu Ming nodded in agreement.

Then he asked curiously: "Le Ping, why did he suddenly move back to his hometown when he was fine?"

He Yongliang smiled wryly and shook his head: "You may not believe it, but he was trapped by love and moved away in frustration."

"A person like him will still be trapped by love? Shouldn't he live among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching his body?"

"That's the truth, but he just fell in love with an oiran.

A few days later, the oiran was redeemed by a wealthy businessman from Jinhua Mansion and accepted as a concubine.

Dong Sheng got very drunk, and then he said he wanted to leave this sad place."

Gu Ming couldn't help laughing: "He has personality, how about we go to Qingyuan Town to find him now?"

"Okay, go find a carriage and start right away."

Qingyuan Town wasn't too far away, it was tens of miles away, and they arrived at the town at noon.

This town belongs to the junction of the two counties, and is connected by water and land, so there are many merchants coming and going. Not only is it larger than ordinary small towns, but it is also much more lively.

Came to a small courtyard in the east of the town and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.

He Yongliang couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It seems that he either went to the tavern or the brothel."

"Then what should we do? How about looking for them one by one?"

"Let's go, first go to the tavern and ask."

As luck would have it, Dong Sheng drank in a nearby tavern.

"Dong Sheng, are you drinking so much by yourself?"

Hearing the voice, Dong Sheng couldn't help turning his head: "So it's Brother Le Ping, a rare visitor, who is this?"

"This is my classmate Gu Ming, Zi Xing."

"It turned out to be Brother Xing, I have admired him for a long time"

Another polite remark.

"Man, bring the wine and cook some more dishes."

The buddy responded from afar.

"Huh? Dong Sheng, why do you look so haggard? No way"

There was a look in He Yongliang's eyes that any man could understand.

"No, don't talk nonsense, there really isn't one"

At this time, Gu Ming frowned slightly, looking at Dong Sheng from time to time.

In fact, when he saw Dong Sheng for the first time, he felt something was wrong.

Intuitively speaking, the other person's complexion is faintly blue, and his eye circles are dark, like a person who is malnourished and stays up all night.

It's not like saying it's morbid, could it be

"By the way, Dong Sheng, Xing and I came here today mainly to ask you to draw some illustrations of characters."

Unexpectedly, Dong Sheng refused straight away: "I'm not in the mood."

"We can be regarded as old friends, why don't you give me any face?"

"It's not that I don't give you face, but that I'm not in the mood."

This is not nonsense, and it is not a meaning.

"Xing, don't talk, let me persuade him slowly."

He Yongliang seemed unconvinced, and said something to Gu Ming, and then raised his glass: "Okay, let's not talk about illustrations first, come, drink."

The wine was almost finished, He Yongliang paid the bill generously, and then whispered to Gu Ming: "Well, I'll go shopping with this guy, you know.

Of course, it would be best if you want to go together. "

"No, I'm wandering around the town alone."

"Well, if you can't find anyone by then, go to the small courtyard before."

Of course Gu Ming knew what He Yongliang wanted to do, he just wanted to do what he liked, and at the same time, he did not rule out the possibility of using public affairs for personal gain.

Walking slowly all the way, it can be regarded as a rare leisure.

The scenery on the street is good, you can see the mountains in the distance, the water in the near, and you can see a few pleasing women from time to time.

When we walked near the pier, there happened to be a ferry docking.

Gu Ming glanced over subconsciously, but found a familiar figure walking down from the boat.

Immediately, Li's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps to meet him.

"Hero Zhiqiu!"

"Huh? You, I remembered, you are the scholar that Lanruo Temple met, Gu Ming."

"That's right, Hero Zhiqiu has a good memory."

"Ha, it's only been a few days, don't forget it. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Come to visit a friend, Zhiqiu, how about you? Don't you come here to catch ghosts and demons?"

Zhiqiu smiled: "It doesn't count, just wandering the rivers and lakes, walking around."

"It turns out that the so-called invitation is worse than meeting by chance, how about a few drinks?"

Zhiqiu was also straightforward: "Okay, let's have a few drinks!"
