I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Page 35

However, Gu Ming stepped forward yesterday and said some sharp words in front of Qin Shou, which also attracted many gentry to have a good impression of him and came to congratulate him.

Gong Zheng, Liu Dehua and others also arrived one after another.

Fortunately, the yard is spacious, so there is no need to worry about having no place to receive them.

In the shop, He Yongliang, Dong Sheng, Yu'er, Su Ling, and several scholars who consign calligraphy and painting here are all busy receiving customers or introducing calligraphy and painting.

It was almost noon when the congratulators left one after another.

Gu Ming finally freed up and hurried into the store to care about the business situation.

When I asked, I couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

Three words: a good start!

Two booksellers from other counties introduced by Liu Dehua bought a total of 650 copies of The West Chamber at a wholesale price of [-] copies.

In addition, almost all the squires who came to congratulate bought one or more books.

Coupled with some scattered sales, the West Chamber was priced at [-], and a total of nearly [-] copies were sold.

At the same time, more than ten calligraphy and painting consignments were also sold.

All in all pretty good momentum.

Although many of these are human relationships, Gu Ming believes that once these people go back to read the book, they will definitely be attracted.

With word of mouth, more people will come to buy The Story of the West Chamber.

For ordinary people, buying a book for [-] yuan is indeed a bit extravagant.

But what is it to the wealthy class?

After lunch, seeing that the study was not so busy, Nie Xiaoqian went to Gu Ming and said, "Young Master Gu, why don't Yu'er and I go back first."

"Well, I just want to report to your father about the operation of the study, and make him happy too."

As soon as Nie Xiaoqian left, Su Ling walked up to Gu Ming and sighed deliberately: "Hey, Gu Xiucai, it seems that you really don't plan to be relatives with my wife anymore?"

Gu Ming couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Don't always joke about this, I'm fine, if it spreads, it will affect Yun'er's reputation."

"That's right. Actually, what I mean is that you are having fun with Miss Nie!"

"What drama?"

He Yongliang ran out from nowhere, and asked with a salivating face.

"Go aside!"

"Hmph, cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

He Yongliang snorted dissatisfiedly, and continued to busy with his affairs.

After chatting for a few words, Gu Ming saw that there were not many customers in the store, and said, "Why don't you take care of it here, and I'll go and see Master Nie."

"Go!"

Su Ling was also reasonable, and agreed without hesitation.

Not long after, Gu Ming came to the county government office.

"stop!"

Unexpectedly, two yamen servants standing outside actually blocked his way.

Gu Ming lowered his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The inner courtyard is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to trespass!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming vaguely guessed that Qin Shou had specially said hello to prevent him from entering alone.

If Zeng Tiancheng and other squires came, how dare these two yamen servants stop them at will?

With the same thought, I was lazy to pay attention to the two of them, and entered the hospital in a flash.

"Hey, how dare you trespass!"

One of the yamen servants chased him into the yard in a rage.

"doing what?"

Hearing the movement, Nie Hongshu came out from the back room.

"Master Nie, this person trespassed in the inner courtyard, and the villain came in to arrest him."

"Presumptuous, he is a guest invited by the official!"

"Master Nie, Lord Qin ordered that he is not allowed to enter the courtyard"

it is as expected.

"Get out! You, a little clerk, entered the hospital without permission. Who gave you the guts?"

"Yes, yes, the small ones are wrong, and the small ones are wrong!"

In desperation, the yamen servant could only accuse him of a crime, and hastily withdrew from the courtyard.

"My lord, this is probably called Huluopingyang being bullied by dogs."

Gu Ming laughed at himself.

"Forget it, it's pointless to argue with these little shrimps, sit down."

At this time, Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er also came out.

"By the way, Gu Sheng, I heard from Xiaoqian that the momentum of opening today is quite good. I'm really happy to congratulate you!"

"Hehe, thanks to everyone"

After chatting for a while, Nie Hongshu's expression changed, "Gu Sheng, I have received conclusive information that the person who came to investigate this time is Shen Butong.

It has already set off and will arrive at the county seat tomorrow. "

Gu Ming frowned: "So fast?"

"That's good, get this matter over earlier so that everyone won't worry about Nie."

"But my lord, this salt transport envoy and the dog official surnamed Qin are obviously on the same side. If you really want to frame your lord, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to deal with."

After all, Gu Ming's memory is very deep, and the original owner suffered a big loss before.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?

"Don't worry, I'm innocent, and I'm not afraid of them splashing sewage."

"That's the reason, but that's all, let's take a step at a time."

That night, Gu Ming stayed and drank a few glasses of wine with Nie Hongshu before leaving.

Once at home, call out the system interface to submit the task.

For the task I received before, the system required that the sales volume of The Story of the West Chamber should not be less than [-] copies, and the price should not be less than [-] copies.

Now, both quantity and price have been overfulfilled.

Presumably there will be additional rewards.

Mission accomplished

Gain experience value 500

Obtain skill upgrade symbol 2

Get an additional reward of 100 experience points

Chapter 42 Upgrading Tong Sheng ([-]rd shift)

Seeing the content of the mission reward clearly, Gu Ming was pleasantly surprised.

I never thought that an extra 100 experience points would be rewarded, so that I could directly upgrade.

In addition, there are two skill upgrade symbols, worth 40 points.

He has 0 points now.

In short, I earned it.

So he directly extracted the reward, and clicked the "" sign on the character interface.

congratulations, you have been upgraded

Host: Gu Ming

Location: Liaozhai World

Level: Tongsheng Next level: Xiucai

XP: 451000

Points: 0

Skills: Export as a chapter 1

Skills: Brilliant Pen Blossom Level 1

Skills: Calligraphy Level 2, Painting Level 1, Chess Level 1, Temperament Level 1

Still the familiar formula, the familiar dizziness

But Gu Ming has gotten used to it, it's enough to make him dizzy.

After a while, the whole person became extremely sober and light.

A word suddenly came to mind: as light as a swallow.

That's right, this is Gu Ming's strongest feeling right now, it seems that he can fly up with just a little push.

Compared with the previous upgrades, the feeling of improvement this time is still obvious.

Come to think of it, this is a transformation.

After all, in reality, being promoted from a book boy to a child student is a leap in itself.

The light in the thatched shed was dim, but it did not affect Gu Ming's vision at all.

You can even see details such as black spots on the roof thatch.

Listening carefully, you can hear the fine footsteps of pedestrians outside.

It seems that a whole new world is slowly unfolding in front of him

Delighted to feel his own changes for a while, Gu Ming took the skill upgrade charm and upgraded the painting and temperament to level 2 respectively.

Even if it is not used to pretend, these two skills are still very practical.

The most important thing is that after the character reaches a certain level, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be turned into fighting skills, which can be used to cultivate sentiment and defeat the enemy.

Afterwards, Gu Ming subconsciously clicked on the task interface to check.

In the end, there were no new tasks to accept, presumably because there was no exchange for new books.

Then, you can only temporarily do daily tasks to gain experience.

Just as I was about to spread out the pen and paper to copy the novel, but my mind was moved. Now that I have upgraded, why not do something?

Looking up at the sky outside, it just got dark.

Now is a good time to act.

So I rummaged through the cabinets and finally found a set of black clothes.

County government office.

In a wing room, Qin Shou, Zhou Yuanwai, and another wealthy businessman surnamed Feng were sitting and drinking together.

"My lord, I would like to toast you again!"

Feng Yuanwai raised his wine glass and said with a flattering smile.

This guy was the closest businessman to Qin Shou besides Zhou Yuan.
