I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

A man replied.

"Is it her?"

Gu Ming shook off the skin.

"Gudong"

The man immediately fainted to the ground.

"what"

The other woman screamed in fright and then passed out.

"This this"

The others were also ashamed with fright and stepped back one after another.

"She was killed by a demon, and only this skin is left. However, the demon has been destroyed by me."

"You are Mr. Gu?"

An old man dared to ask.

"That's right!"

"It turns out that it is really Mr. Gu, please be respected by the little old man."

Others also stepped forward to greet him.

"You don't need to be too polite, this monster has already killed several people, let's mourn."

Gu Ming put down the skin lightly, shook his head and sighed, then strode away.

After that, he came to the small courtyard again, put away another bag and walked towards the county government office.

"Meet Mr. Gu"

When the guard on duty saw Gu Ming, he hurried forward to salute him.

"Take this and give it to Master Nie tomorrow, and say that this is a person who was killed by a demon. I will personally report the details to Master Nie tomorrow."

"Ah, this"

When the disciples saw the skin, they were so frightened that their legs and feet went weak.

The so-called pink skull, but this skin is even more terrifying than the pink skull, how can they not be scared?

It is impossible for Gu Ming to take it back, so Gu Zi put it on the ground and strode away

Chapter 100 Dismount!

Back home, Gu Ming submitted the task and got 40 points.

But this time, he was not in a hurry to redeem it. He had been in a state of 0 points for a long time. At least he would keep it for a while, and redeem it in case of any urgent need.

Don't change it, it's also comfortable to look at.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Ming went to the county government office and found Lord Taishan and told him in detail about the process of subduing the demon.

Nie Hongshu naturally thanked him repeatedly, and asked people to post notices to appease the people.

This incident spread quickly in the county town, and Gu Ming's reputation rose again, and the number of people who came to buy books in the store also increased significantly.

According to gossip, some people even engraved Gu Ming's name on it, and offered it to the shrine at home along with the books he wrote, and burned incense every day to pray for safety.

After the Huapi incident, there was a long period of peace inside and outside the city.

Although there are cases from time to time, most of them are ordinary security incidents.

At this time, Gu Ming finally finished the first volume of the new book Dream of the Red Chamber, with about [-] words.

Then began to write the content of the second volume.

At noon that day, someone brought a letter.

The letter was entrusted by Yan Changqing, and said in the letter that he had arranged The Story of the West Chamber into an opera, which is currently [-]% off, and has already started the audition, and kindly invited Gu Ming and his party to watch it.

After reading the letter, Gu Ming immediately called Dong Sheng, Ning Caichen, He Yongliang, Su Ling, and Nie Xiaoqian to a meeting.

"Team Master Yan has arranged The Story of the West Chamber as an excerpt and invited us to watch it."

Before Gu Ming finished speaking, Dong Sheng clapped his hands immediately: "That's great, why don't we join in the fun together."

Gu Ming glanced at Dong Sheng with bad eyes and asked, "Then who will come to see the shop?"

"Uh, how about shutting it down for a few days?"

"Don't close it, I'll stay and look at the shop." Ning Caichen volunteered.

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction: "It's better for Caichen to do his duty, and this month, he will give an extra three taels of silver as a reward."

"Dong Sheng, it's your fault. I closed the door for a few days to watch a play. Thanks to what you said, I decided to stay and take care of the study. You guys go to the play."

He Yongliang said seriously.

"You..." Dong blushed with anger.

"Hehe, Leping's awareness is quite high, and this month, he will also give out three taels of silver."

"Thank you very much!" He Yongliang smiled openly.

This time, Dong Sheng finally became witty, and said with a straight face: "Actually, I just said in passing, since the two of them won't go, then I will definitely stay."

So things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Gu Ming said cheerfully: "That's right, that's good, then Dong Sheng's salary this month will also be increased by two or three taels."

Next, the group of people glanced at Su Ling again.

"See what I do? Mrs. Ben must watch such a wonderful opera."

"Yes, you are the wife of a rich family, and you don't care about the three taels of silver," Dong Sheng said sourly.

One sentence exposed his psychology. To put it bluntly, he had to choose to stay because of the money.

Three liang of silver is not a small amount, and those servants in the backyard only earn five renminbi a month.

Fools don't stay.

Unless someone like Mrs. Su is not short of money.

"Then it's settled, Madam Su, look for two carriages and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready now."

Early the next morning, the two carriages left the city and went straight to Jinhua Mansion.

Gu Ming, Nie Xiaoqian, and Yu'er took one, and Su Ling and his wife took a maid with them.

Naturally, Ying Ning also went with him, and Gu Ming didn't feel at ease leaving it alone at home.

Traveling all the way in a hurry, I finally arrived at Jinhua Mansion at sunset.

That night, I first found an inn to stay.

It wasn't until the next morning that I found Yan Changqing's theater troupe after inquiring all the way.

As soon as they met, Yan Changqing was extremely enthusiastic, busy welcoming them into the hall, and at the same time asked someone to call shopkeeper Yu over.

After a few words of politeness from both parties, Yan Changqing smiled and said: "You guys came just in time, the first two days were auditions, only a few theater friends were invited to watch, and the response was quite good.

Tonight is the official performance, I have already reserved a few empty tables in the front row."

"Squad leader Yan has a heart."

"Wherever it is, it all depends on the playbook provided by Mr. Gu."

After chatting for a while, shopkeeper Yu hurried over.

Before anyone entered the room, they heard a burst of haha: "Hahaha, Mr. Gu is here, I am sorry to welcome you!"

"Hehe, shopkeeper Yu is being polite."

Gu Ming stood up and cupped his hands.

After some courtesies, shopkeeper Yu sat down and said with a happy face, "Recently, the two books, The Romance of the West Chamber and One Thousand and One Nights, are doing very well. I guess they will have to order again in a few days."

"That's good, I wish Shopkeeper Yu a prosperous business."

"Haha, Mr. Gu Mu, you may not know that recently, storytellers in almost all the teahouses in Jinhua Mansion are talking about your book.

In addition to The West Chamber, One Thousand and One Nights and the book Three Words Two Beats are equally popular.

After all, these two books contain many short stories, which are more suitable for those storytellers."

Hearing these words, Gu Ming couldn't help being pleasantly surprised.

In fact, storytellers in Guobei County have already spoken about the few books he wrote.

But Guobei County is just a county after all, how can it compare to the influence of Jinhua Mansion?

You must know that under the background of this world, the influence of the storyteller cannot be ignored.

After all, there are many people who are illiterate, and they can only learn about some strange events and anecdotes from the outside world through storytellers.

To put it simply, these storytellers are equivalent to advertising for Gu Ming to increase his reputation.

As the fame grows, it will naturally produce a "flow effect" similar to what was said in the previous life, and the sales of books will naturally increase.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Yu, I've been conceiving a new book recently. This is the picture book and the content introduction. Take it back and read it slowly."

Gu Ming took out a thin booklet and handed it over.

There are several pictures in this booklet, which are some of the twelve gold hairpins in the Dream of Red Mansions. Similarly, there are also lyrics and music, which is equivalent to a promotional picture book.

Because it was all drawn by hand, only a dozen volumes were made. Gu Ming brought a few volumes here this time, as a warm-up for the new book.

Shopkeeper Yu flipped through it first, his eyes lit up involuntarily.

"Are these the characters in the book?"

"Yes, the content of this book is quite rich, and this pamphlet is just a brief introduction."

"Great, I will appreciate it after I go back."

When the conversation was almost over, the group went to a restaurant for lunch.

After dinner, Gu Ming took Nie Xiaoqian to visit Chen Zibai again.

As soon as they met, Chen Zibai seemed to have guessed the reason for Gu Ming's visit, and he couldn't help but cheerfully said, "You and Xiaoqian didn't make a special trip to come to see me, but to watch Yan Changqing's adaptation of The Story of the West Chamber, right?"

"The eyes of adults"

"Actually, I'm also planning to enjoy it in trance. First, Yan Changqing is indeed talented. Second, the script comes from your book."

"Great, it just so happens that Squad Leader Yan reserved a table, we will go together then."

After chatting for a while, Chen Zibai couldn't help but ask, "It looks like the township exam is about to begin, are you ready?"

"Thank you, sir, for your concern." Gu Ming thanked him, then smiled, and said confidently: "The preparations are almost done, and if there are no accidents, we should be able to win."

"Hahaha, that's great. If you really want to be elected, I must go to Guobei County to congratulate you in person!"

The sky gradually darkened.

Both on and off the stage are brightly lit.

There are several rows of more than 20 square tables under the stage, on which there are tea, fruit platters, melon seeds, etc.

Simply put, these square tables are VIP seats.

If you want to sit comfortably and watch a movie, you have to pay for a wallet table, the higher the price, the higher the price.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as invited guests like Gu Ming.

Those who are reluctant to pay can only stand at the back and this kind of people account for the vast majority, trying to gain popularity.

Seeing that the good show was about to start, the gongs, drums, and violins on the stage were already in place one after another.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a group of people swaggered over, causing a commotion among the crowd.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way for my master!"

"Master Fu Cheng is here, idlers quickly avoid!"

The two servants, Ding Yaowu, opened the way in front of them, but if they were slow, the two guys would push away impatiently.
