I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Coupled with the accompanying lyrics and music on the painting, it makes people immerse themselves in the world of the book even before reading this dream of Red Mansions.

There are also a few hangings in the store, but they are smaller than those in the hall, after all, the space is limited.

But even so, it has aroused the interest of many people.

It can be said that the way of publicizing books like this is unprecedented.

In addition, the twelve beauties in Jinling have different styles, not only those scholars are lingering in front of the paintings, but many women in the city also come here admiringly.

With word of mouth, the number of people who came to the study increased significantly.

Not only people in the county town, but also scholars from the suburbs of the county and even some scholars from other counties also came to visit curiously.

The popularity of the Poetry and Painting Club is almost showing signs of bursting, but fortunately, before the completion of the attic, a few more maids were hired, otherwise it would not be busy at all.

In short, before the book Dream of Red Mansions was finished, there were already signs of fire.

According to Su Ling's statistics, almost six or seven hundred copies have been pre-ordered.

This is still under the condition that the price is not disclosed, and it is all individual reservations, excluding booksellers.

into the night.

in the small yard.

"Gu Lang, when will your Dream of the Red Chamber be completed?"

Gu Ming smiled: "According to my previous plan, it will take half a month at most to make plates and print, but now I have changed my mind.

This book has a lot of content, and the characters and events are more complicated, so it is better to think more carefully.

Another point is that I think the effect of this book will be better after waiting for the Zhongjue. "

Speaking of the wonderful book Dream of the Red Chamber, Mr. Cao spent more than ten years of painstaking efforts, during which he kept revising and polishing.

It is a pity that this book was not finished but passed away due to poverty and illness.

The next dozens of chapters were written by other people.

This may be called an eternal regret.

Of course, Gu Ming will not take ten years. He plans to use one year to complete this masterpiece in five volumes, so that it can regain its glory in this world.

There are some descriptions about the relationship between men and women in the original work, which have attracted criticism from many old scholars, even accusations and insults, saying that they are deviant, teaching bad children and so on.

Facts have proved that these criticized contents are precisely one of the charms of this book.

It describes the fundamentals of human nature and some necessary psychological processes in the process of growing up, and at the same time, it has won the praise of countless masters in later generations.

Therefore, Gu Ming does not intend to delete such descriptions or scenes, and try to maintain its original charm.

This is also one of the reasons why he decided to wait until after the Zhongju to release A Dream of Red Mansions.

In detail, the world of Liaozhai is much more open than the Ming and Qing dynasties in Gu Ming's previous life.

Most of them are scholars and young ladies who fall in love at first sight and have private meetings in the middle of the night.

There are many people who dare to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman in the barren mountains and wild mountains, regardless of whether you are a human, a ghost or a demon.

It fully interprets the wise saying that "a man dies under flowers, but a ghost is also romantic".

It is also rare to hear that the current dynasty engages in word prisons, unless it is deliberately writing some words that confuse people or discredit the current dynasty.

However, the reason is such a reason, everything is just in case.

After all, Gu Ming is just a scholar now, it doesn't matter if the book is not popular, but if the book is popular, it will definitely attract people's envy.

Then stab you in the back, deliberately distort the content of the book, or even fabricate some black material out of thin air, what can a mere scholar do?

But hitting the jackpot is different.

It can be said that the status, status, and fame have undergone earth-shaking changes, so it is not easy to fix it if you think about it.

For example, in the case of Nie Hongshu being slandered, if he hadn't been a juror, he would have had no chance of overturning the case.

“So good”

Hearing Gu Lang mention Zhongju again with confidence, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were like autumn water, and she responded softly.

Who doesn't want their Airo to be famous?

"By the way, Xiaoqian, have you felt anything unusual in your body recently?"

Nie Xiaoqian shook her head: "That's not true."

"Then can you change between human form and fox form?"

Gu Ming actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago, and finally asked it casually until today.

Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, then sighed quietly: "Mother left a few formulas, but I tried several times, but it doesn't seem to work. Why, do you want to see me turn into a fox?"

"No, no, no!" Gu Ming quickly waved his hands: "Just asking out of curiosity."

After chatting for a while, Nie Xiaoqian began to practice, while Gu Ming returned to the room.

At this time, Ying Ning was sitting on the desk reading a book with a serious face, looking focused and cute.

Gu Ming smiled, spread out a pen and paper and started doing daily tasks.

Calligraphy is upgraded to level 3, and the written characters are even more flowing and powerful.

After finishing the daily routine, continue to write Dream of Red Mansions

The next morning, Gu Ming walked around the yard first, said hello to a few acquaintances, and then went to the attic to see how the house was arranged.

When I walked to the side of the piano room, I heard a burst of intermittent piano sound coming from inside, which sounded a bit messy.

Who is playing the piano?

Subconsciously, Gu Ming walked to the door and glanced at it, only to find that it was Ning Caichen.

"Caichen, is there something bothering you? The piano playing is so chaotic."

Gu Ming walked in with a smile.

"Ashamed, ashamed, I made Mr. Gu laugh.

Ning Caichen got up quickly and said something embarrassed.

"Do you want to go home?"

"Ah? No, no, actually"

Ning Caichen hesitated for a while, and then heaved a long sigh: "To tell the truth, Mr. Gu, Xiaosheng has always been a little restless in recent days, and he often has the same dream at night."

"Oh? What kind of dream?"

"I dreamed that the female ghost Lan Xiaofeng I met in Lanruo Temple last time was beaten, Xiaosheng felt very sympathetic."

What an evil fate!

Going around, this guy still can't escape his fate with a female ghost?

Chapter 100 Nothing that can be solved with money is a problem

After feeling deeply, Gu Ming still tried to persuade him: "Caichen, there are many monsters in Lanruo Temple, please don't step in again."

"Ok, I know."

Ning Caichen nodded.

"That's good, you play the piano slowly, I'll go out first."

Then, Gu Ming came to the studio next door.

Unexpectedly, I saw Dong Sheng again, who was concentrating on painting a picture, and didn't even notice someone came in.

Gu Ming quietly walked over to take a look, and found that the painting was a charming beauty.

About seventeen or eighteen years old, with watery almond eyes, and a small cherry mouth slightly opened, as if he was about to say a thousand words.

I don't know if this guy imagined it out of thin air, or it was a lady from a certain family who painted it.

"cough"

After watching for a while, Gu Ming coughed lightly.

"Ok?"

Dong Sheng seemed a little panicked, as if a child stealing candy had been caught by an adult, turned around with a blushing face, and subconsciously moved his body to block the painting.

It's fine if he doesn't do this, but it makes Gu Ming's imagination run wild.

Could it be that there is something tricky hidden in this picture of beauty?

So without further ado, he stretched out his hand and lifted Dong Sheng away like an eagle catching a chicken.

"Hey, are you so strong?"

Dong Sheng choked out such a sentence with an aggrieved look.

Gu Ming responded lazily, narrowing his eyes and looking at the picture of the beauties carefully.

It seems that there is nothing abnormal. There are both what should be and what should not be.

If you want to draw an unscrupulous picture, such as clothes that shouldn't be there, or a few obscene words on the title, you can still understand it if you see it.

So the question is, why is this guy guilty?

"Say!"

Gu Ming suddenly tilted his head and shouted loudly.

"Tell me what?"

Dong Sheng really took two steps back with guilt, and subconsciously glanced at the door.

"Who is the woman in the painting?"

"No one? It's just a random drawing."

It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, Gu Ming has plenty of methods to verify.

"Scribbles? Not bad, how about I add a few more strokes and hang them in the shop for sale."

"no!"

Dong Sheng rushed to the drawing board to protect it.

"Hahaha, let's see, you still don't admit it? There are no outsiders here, so tell me, which lady is the painting? Maybe then Mrs. Su can go to protect a matchmaker."

Dong Sheng was really forced to do nothing, so he could only truthfully tell the reason.

No wonder he was nervous, because this woman was from Guobei County, but she was just a canary.

"She said that she was originally a maid from a family in a neighboring county. The master liked her and wanted to take her as a concubine, but the wife disagreed, and he often beat her because of jealousy.

So, the master quietly bought a small courtyard in Guobei County and sent her here, and came to see her once a month or two. "

Gu Ming frowned and asked, "Then how did you know her?"

"I passed by her house two days ago, and she just came out to pour water, and she splashed me all over."

Too bloody, right?

Gu Ming immediately began to think about what happened next, the woman apologized repeatedly, and asked Dong Sheng to go in and take off his clothes to dry.

Lonely men and widows, dry firewood and fire, after a few chats, the sky thunders and the ground fires

"Then she was very embarrassed and apologized and asked me to go into the yard to dry my clothes"

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Gu Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"quieter"

Dong Sheng trotted to close the door.

"Then while drying the laundry, you two"

"Well, we were just chatting. I saw that she lived alone, so I asked a few words, and she told her experience.

It is said that she has a hard life, living alone like this without a name or a share, maybe the master will forget her after a few years."

"Then you took the opportunity to comfort her?"
