[Red Chamber] Buddhist concubine

Mr. He thought about it, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong with such an approach.

but……

"Regardless of what the shopkeeper is and what he intends to do, you should tell Mr. Meng Honglou in advance." Mr. He sighed, "There are not so many troubles in this world, but all kinds of tragedies are caused by various misunderstandings. If you don't plan to have a bad relationship with Mr. Meng Honglou , it’s better not to have any misunderstandings with him.”

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.

Although this matter has been discussed with Meng Honglou long ago, his current plan is to start to praise the stories written by other people, which will inevitably affect the interests of Meng Honglou, so naturally he must be informed.

He also moved swiftly, and quickly connected with Qingliu, and then asked her to tell Meng Honglou about this matter.

Qingliu's first reaction after hearing this was to disagree. She even felt that the shopkeeper was ungrateful.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly: "I don't want to be gossiped about, but this teahouse belongs to the Lin family after all. I'm just a shopkeeper who helps others. If Mr. Meng Honglou can deliver the manuscript to the teahouse on time, I'm not such an ungrateful person. I am willing to put Mr. Meng Honglou's work on the altar, but Mr. Meng Honglou has encountered troubles during this time, and he can't always deliver the manuscript in time? The guests in the teahouse have already made a lot of troubles because of this incident. This matter not only affected Mr. Meng Honglou's reputation, but also had a certain impact on the teahouse's business... The account books of the teahouse are handed over to the Lin family for the purpose. If the business is damaged, or it will have a bad impact on the Lin family's reputation... ...The old man is getting old, and I really don't want to lose my life at the end of the year."

Qingliu opened her mouth, this matter is actually very easy to solve——

As long as Zhou Yao can guarantee to deliver the manuscript to the teahouse on time, the teahouse will absolutely not reject such a big signboard as Menghonglou, but instead will promote a newcomer.

But the problem is, Zhou Yao has no way to guarantee it!

The shopkeeper smiled: "Although the teahouse is preparing to welcome newcomers, please rest assured Mr. Menghonglou. As long as this period of time passes, Mr. Menghonglou can deliver the manuscript on time. I will keep Mr. Menghonglou as the number one signboard of the teahouse. Besides, the contract signed between Mr. Meng Honglou and the teahouse is clearly written, and the majority of Mr. Menghonglou's income comes from the profit share of the teahouse. The better the teahouse, the more money Mr. Menghonglou will naturally make."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then took out a contract and handed it to Qingliu, "This is a new contract, please give it to Mr. Meng Honglou for a review. Please also tell Mr. Meng Honglou a word. I always remember that the teahouse has a The good situation depends on the husband, as long as there is a choice, the interests of the husband will never be damaged."

Qingliu was a little uncertain, so she could only tell Zhou Yao about it and let her decide for herself.

Zhou Yao thought it was quite funny, she couldn't hand in the manuscript on time, so naturally she had no objection to the teahouse's decision to welcome newcomers.But the shopkeeper of the teahouse insisted on linking this matter with her interests, it was a bit shameless——

As far as the current situation is concerned, of course, the better the teahouse, the better her income.But this is all based on the premise that her "Lu Sheng" is not finished. Once Lu Sheng is finished, there will be other people's stories to support the scene. The enthusiasm for this story will soon cool down. Repeatedly asked Mr. He to tell the two stories of "The Widow" and "Lu Sheng", then she had nothing to do with the teahouse at all.Even for her next book, if the teahouse with other choices is willing to sign a contract with her to share the profits of the teahouse, she has no way to guarantee...

For the first time, Zhou Yao had the idea of ​​changing his club.

Then Qingliu handed a contract to Zhou Yao: "Girl, this is the contract that the shopkeeper asked the servants to hand over to you. He also said that as long as there is a choice, your interests will never be damaged."

Zhou Yao was stunned for a moment, then took the deed.

The content of the deed is very simple, but not so simple——

This is a share contract between the teahouse and Menghonglou, which states that as long as all new works of Menghonglou are released to the teahouse for the first time, she can enjoy [-]% of the teahouse regardless of whether she has any works published that month. dividend.If a new work comes out, there will be a higher share.Moreover, the requirements for Menghonglou in the contract are only at least one new work per year, and willingness to help revise other authors' works.

This is completely beneficial to Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao felt a little surprised: "Is this kind of contract written by the shopkeeper on his own initiative, or did he decide to take it out after asking Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Lin?"

Naturally, Qingliu didn't know about this question.

Fortunately, Zhou Yao didn't care.

She figured it out very quickly, the shopkeeper would come up with such a contract, in addition to being grateful to her, he was also afraid that she would invest in someone else for the next book.

This contract can be regarded as a win over her.

Zhou Yao read the deed and after confirming that there were no other traps in it, she signed the deed without hesitation.

Not long after getting Zhou Yao's permission, the teahouse began to praise other authors.

The author and the story are ready-made—

The few stories that the shopkeeper gave Zhou Yao before, after her revisions, are now no less than the stories of "The Widow".Even if the author's reputation is very different from Zhou Yao's, but with the name of Meng Honglou's modification, there must still be many guests to join him.

Not only did the shopkeeper arrange for Xiaoer to take to the streets to publicize, the stories revised by Zhou Yao were also launched online, and Mr. He, the pillar of the teahouse, was the one who adapted these stories into storytelling. Both are Weishi and Shenshi (13~17 o'clock) with the largest passenger flow.

When it comes to flattering people, the shopkeeper is never ambiguous.

Menghonglou has a lot of readers. If it was normal, the shopkeeper might have caused dissatisfaction among the customers who came to Mr. Menghonglou. What?

At any rate, these four stories still have the title of "revised by Mr. Meng Honglou". Even if the guests came for Mr. Meng Honglou, it is difficult to say anything to the shopkeeper.

So, after these stories started to be told, they were surprisingly calm to the surprise of other viewers.

From the perspective of Zhou Yao who has read novel novels in modern times, he still feels that these four stories have merits, which is enough to show that these four stories have good ideas and are good enough.

However, these authors are not as familiar with online novels as Zhou Yao, and the beginning of the writing is not as fast and attractive as Zhou Yao. At the beginning, some guests inevitably felt that these stories were too plain and not as good as Meng Honglou's. "The Widow" and "Lu Sheng".

But not long after the story was laid out and started to develop, everyone gradually became addicted to it.

Because she had already left the Lin family, Zhou Yao's movements were no longer restricted, so after hearing the news, she simply took her two nephews or nieces to the private room on the second floor of the teahouse every day to listen to stories and open her eyes.

According to Zhou Yao's previous thinking, among the four stories, she actually thinks that the story "Joking about Cao Cao" should be more popular with guests, after all, it is an adaptation of history, and the author himself is talented, and the story he wrote is even more wonderful; And she thinks the second most attractive should be the "General's Order" written in a similar way to her own. Although the beginning is different, but in the end, all the heartless people have received retribution, which is really satisfying.

On the contrary, she borrowed the story of Peach Blossom Spring, because she had a big brain, and she was more inclined to the sand carving text popular in modern Internet literature. She was very worried whether these guests would resist because it was too novel or too immodest.

But obviously, the tea house guests who have experienced the baptism of her two novels have accepted it well.

Those who can come to teahouses to listen to books, even if their families are not rich, must have two spare cash.They took the money and went to teahouses to drink tea and listen to books, isn't it just for fun?

And this novel, which is very similar to the modern sand carving text, obviously brought more fun to the guests than others.

After the story got to the point, all the guests had the idea of ​​"I can still write like this".

And the last time such an idea appeared was when Zhou Yao's "The Widow" was born.Even if the status of this article in the hearts of these guests is not as good as "The Widow", it is obvious that this story has brought infinite joy to the guests.

Apart from this Sand Glyph, the most popular one is Zhou Yao's last revision of the suspenseful novel.

When Zhou Yao got that novel, she didn't read many words before she realized that the author of this story must be closely related to the profession of Zuo Zuo, because the cases he wrote used a lot of professional knowledge, and Zhou Yao happened to know that part of knowledge. Exactly.

The only pity is that the novel written by this author is professional, but the storyline is not very brilliant.

And this is the most unchangeable thing.

However, Zhou Yao thought that this kind of suspenseful novels that solve crimes had never appeared in this world. The subject matter was very novel, and the author wrote it very professionally, so she revised the manuscript brought by the shopkeeper according to the writing method of online novels. Rewrote it.

But she thought, even if she modified it and got an opening that suits the guests' appetite, if the author can't improve later, the story probably won't be liked by people.

But Zhou Yao ignored the expectations and curiosity of readers in this world for new themes, and underestimated these people's desire to see how official uniforms solve crimes.

What's more, there are treasures like Mr. He in the teahouse. Even if the story written by the author of this suspenseful article is not outstanding enough, after Mr. He's modification, such a novel story can completely stand out from other stories.

Besides, the author is not without progress.

Zhou Yao listened to Mr. He talking about how the headhunter found the body, how he was played by the disturbing clues left by the murderer, and with the help of Wu Zuo, he solved a shocking case...

During this process, she also broke out in a cold sweat with the development of the story.

I have to say that suspense-oriented novels are really suitable for being adapted into storytelling.The story, which was not originally a thrilling story, has become dangerous after Mr. He's secondary processing.

Even Zhou Yao began to look forward to tomorrow's storytelling content.

However, "General Order" and "Joking About Cao Cao", which Zhou Yao was optimistic about before, are not as novel and popular as these two stories, but compared with other storytelling stories in restaurants and teahouses, the quality is far above the level, and it can be suspended. Hit those stories.

Most of the guests who were lost due to the repeated interruptions of "Lu Sheng" were attracted back by these stories.

Originally, everything was moving in a good direction, but what no one expected was that because of the emergence of these stories, Meng Honglou's previous aloof status was shaken.

Many teahouse guests feel that these stories are no worse than "The Widow" and "Lu Sheng", and one or two stories are even much better than "Lu Sheng".

Zhou Yao's loyal readers will naturally refute. They directly pointed out that these stories were modified by Mr. Meng Honglou before they became popular today. What does it look like at the beginning, and will it make people like it?

"But if these stories are not good enough in the first place, is Mr. Meng Honglou willing to modify them? Even if the shopkeeper of the teahouse asks, she doesn't have such free time, right? Don't you see, "Lu Sheng" has been discontinued for a long time. If these The story didn’t impress Mr. Meng Honglou, so why would he use the time he spent writing “Lu Sheng” to make wedding dresses for other people? Even if these stories weren’t as good as Meng Honglou’s modified ones at the beginning, they couldn’t be worse too much!"

"Even if these stories have their own advantages before they are revised, they are completely impossible to compare with Mr. Meng Honglou's novels. Otherwise, why should these stories be revised by Mr. Meng Honglou?"

At the beginning of the speech, the guests who said that these stories were no worse than those written by Menghonglou suddenly ran out of words.

The guest who retorted was immediately elated: "Mr. Meng Honglou is the most talented. How can other authors be compared with him?"

As soon as this remark came out, the other guests were also unhappy.

You must know that although most of the guests in the teahouse came for Mr. Meng Honglou, since these four novels with different themes from Mr. Meng Honglou's stories were published, there are always some people who prefer other themes.

Among them, the one with the most loyal fans is the suspenseful article about solving crimes.

In the eyes of these diehard fans, the stories they like are the best in the world.It’s just because the shopkeeper said at the beginning of the publicity that these stories have been revised by Mr. Meng Honglou, so even if I feel that the stories I like are better than "The Survivor" and "Lu Sheng" written by Meng Honglou. They did not speak out of the respect of Mr. Meng Honglou.

But this person directly said that other people are not as good as Menghonglou, so of course they quit.

At least in their minds, Menghonglou would never be able to write novels of the type that solve crimes. Even if they could, it would be nothing more than picking up people's teeth, far less than the originator of the first published novel.

So, they also started to refute.

Someone said: "Mr. Meng Honglou's "The Widow" I think is really good, and he directly created a novel writing method, and this writing method makes the story more plain, easy to understand and more attractive. It is Mr. Meng Honglou's advantage. But "The Widow" is good, but it can't cover up the mediocrity of the story "Lu Sheng". Even if you think "Lu Sheng" is good-looking, can it cover up that this story has been repeatedly encountering dangers, The process of meeting a beauty, solving the danger, and bringing the beauty into the house? I will memorize this process, and every time Mr. He talks about today's content, I can guess what the next plot will be!"

In fact, although the context of the story of "Lu Sheng" seems to be repeating the previous content, the plot setting is completely different, the dangers encountered are different, and the way of encountering beauties is not similar.Even if the guests know that they will meet a beauty in the next episode, how they meet, what kind of person they meet, and what will happen after the meeting... It is impossible for anyone to guess.

There are so many modern online novels, and there are countless routines available. Zhou Yao will also create some new routines. If these ancient people can easily guess, then Zhou Yao can almost hit the wall.

And this is exactly one of the storylines that the guests of "Lu Sheng" look forward to most every day.

What the guest said was really biased.

But isn't this a quarrel? Naturally, he should belittle Meng Honglou vigorously, even if in his heart, Meng Honglou is not that bad at all.

As soon as he said this, some people naturally echoed: "That is, it is said that other authors are not as good as Meng Honglou, but the gap between them and Meng Honglou is just that they cannot grasp the novel writing method created by Meng Honglou for the time being." When they write one or two more stories, they will naturally be able to truly master this writing method. By then, relying on their own unique stories, they will definitely not be worse than Meng Honglou, and may even be better than his writing."

"I don't believe that Menghonglou can write such a logical and authentic novel as "Wuzuo Handwriting"."

"That's right, the conception of the story of "Lu Sheng" is completely inferior to that of "The Widow". Meng Honglou has only written a novel, and it has already revealed a little sense of exhaustion, which really makes people sigh. But these four authors are different. They have only just started writing, and they can already write such wonderful stories. No, maybe it won’t be two years, and by then, everyone will be able to see with their own eyes who is more talented between these authors and Menghonglou.”

Once this remark is held up and trampled on, it is almost obvious that the dream of the Red Chamber is exhausted. When the vulgar work "Lu Sheng" is completely finished and the bonus of "The Survivor" is finished, he will immediately show his original shape at that time, and he will definitely not be able to show people. Refreshing new story too.

Fans of Dream of Red Mansions naturally quit!

Most of the guests in the teahouse were die-hard fans of Meng Honglou. When they heard this, they were so excited that they almost flocked to them. They had to beat up these guests who belittled Mr. Meng Honglou in order to relieve their depression.

The shopkeeper of the tea house heard that there was a disturbance in the lobby, so he ran out quickly. Seeing that the two parties were about to clash, he immediately stepped forward to stop it with a mournful face.

Whether they are fans of Menghonglou or the other four authors, they all know that their authors rely on teahouses for food, so they are naturally willing to give him some thin noodles when facing the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

A battle disappeared without a trace.

This incident was spread throughout the capital as a joke, and attracted a large number of guests to the teahouse.

But the impact of this incident on Zhou Yao is not only good——

The shopkeeper of the tea house really remembered Zhou Yao well, that's why this happened. He immediately found Qingliu and asked her to tell Zhou Yao, telling Zhou Yao to write the new plot of "Lu Sheng" quickly, otherwise the current In the current situation, even if these authors cannot affect the status of Meng Honglou, her influence among the guests will also be reduced, and as far as the current situation is concerned, many guests who came to Meng Honglou have defected and become other authors. fans.

If Zhou Yao did not write "Lu Sheng" for a long time, a large part of her guests might be lost.

Zhou Yao smiled, but didn't care much.

But Qingliu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot after hearing this, and insisted on asking Zhou Yao to quickly write out the new content of "Lu Sheng", and then take it out to beat the faces of those guests who said they were exhausted.

For this reason, whenever Qingliu is free every day, she will definitely follow behind Zhou Yao and stare at people, forcing her to go to the desk and start writing stories before giving up.

Zhou Yao couldn't laugh or cry.

She really wanted to finish the story of "Lu Sheng" as soon as possible, but she hadn't moved out of Zhou's house yet, so she couldn't stay in the room all day and write manuscripts.

Besides, Zhou Yao didn't really care about the disputes among the guests in the restaurant——

No matter how they fight, anyway, Zhou Yao has benefited herself, and when the money is in hand, she naturally doesn't panic.

But after listening to Qingliu's words, it was obvious that the shopkeeper started to panic.

Zhou Yao had no choice but to quickly write a letter to the shopkeeper, telling him not to worry too much, and to continue doing what he originally planned, and not to worry too much about her.

As for the new chapters of "Lu Sheng", although she has a few chapters on hand, it is not easy to hand them over to the teahouse. After all, she can't guarantee daily updates. , At that time, only the skylight can still be opened.So it's better to keep these manuscripts as archives first, and when she stabilizes, the four stories that have been edited by her are almost finished (those stories are relatively short), and then directly take her story on top , The passenger flow of the teahouse will not be affected.

And during this time, she can also think about the content of the next book. If she can save more manuscripts, she won't open the skylight whenever something happens.

No one knew what Qingliu was thinking, but the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief after receiving the letter.

After the shopkeeper read the letter written by Meng Honglou, he handed it over to Mr. He.

All the novels of Menghonglou are commented by Mr. He, and Mr. He naturally has the right to know about matters related to him.After Mr. He saw the letter from Menghonglou, he was not as relieved as the shopkeeper.

"Mr. Menghonglou's interests are obviously damaged, how can he still be so generous?" Mr. He frowned, "Mr. is not planning to change the owner for the next book instead of storytelling in the teahouse?"

The shopkeeper was in a daze for a moment, and then remembered that he had not told Mr. He about the contract he signed with Mr. Meng Honglou.He paused, and directly took out the contract signed with Menghonglou and handed it to Mr. He: "The old man is also worried that Mr. Menghonglou thinks that the teahouse does not value him, so he voted for someone else in a hurry, so after consulting Mrs. Lin before Simply sign this contract with Mr. Menghonglou and the teahouse will be truly tied together in the future, and if there is no accident, there will never be another vote for someone else."

After all, he brought up the traffic of the teahouse by himself. If he switched to others, it would still have such a big impact, but I don't know.

After carefully reading the contract, Mr. He relaxed: "If there is such a contract, why should the shopkeeper be so worried?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "Isn't this worried that Mr. Meng Honglou feels that he has been belittled, so he is angry? The story of "Lu Sheng" is not over yet. If Mr. Meng Honglou is angry, it is better to delay the ending of this story. ?”

It is said that it is the uncle who gives the money. Although the teahouse between the teahouse and Menghonglou is the teahouse that gives the money, most of the money in the teahouse is attracted by Menghonglou. He really has no confidence to pretend to be the uncle.

On the contrary, he felt that Mr. Meng Honglou was his uncle.

Mr. He shook his head with a smile: "It doesn't affect the interests of Mr. Meng Honglou, so it is impossible for him to be angry."

The shopkeeper didn't believe it at first, because in his eyes, most of the literati are noble, and most of them value their reputation and status far more than gold and silver.

But the letter written by Mr. Meng Honglou to him confirmed Mr. He's statement.

He couldn't help being curious: "How does Mr. He know Mr. Meng Honglou so well?"

Mr. He laughed: "Because I am such a person."

Even if it is writing a novel or telling a story, the creator of the story will incorporate part of his own thoughts into it.Maybe it's deliberate or not, but as long as you search and think carefully, you can always find some of the author's point of view.

This is also the reason why Jia Min was so sure that Zhou Yao was not the author of the novel after reading "The Survivor", and was disappointed after confirming Zhou Yao's identity as Menghonglou.

And what Mr. He noticed from the two novels of Meng Honglou is Mr. Meng Honglou's open-mindedness.

It cannot be said to be open-minded, but it should be said that it is the idea of ​​"face is not as good as lizi".

Coincidentally, he also thought so, which is why Mr. He likes the story of Mr. Meng Honglou so much.

The shopkeeper smiled and said nothing more.

A debate about whether Menghonglou was exhausted or not, although it was temporarily stopped when they were in the teahouse that day, when these guests left the teahouse and met their like-minded friends, they naturally couldn't help but say a few words.

And friends naturally have their own friends, so the news spread from ten to ten, and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the capital.

What's more, there was news that there was almost a fight that day.

So it didn't take long, whether people like Menghonglou or not, they would say a word or two about his two novels.Some people think that "Lu Sheng" in Menghonglou is equally attractive, and there is no need for "The Widow" to be inferior. Naturally, some people think that "Lu Sheng" is not worthy of virtue, and its quality is not worthy of his current fame. The side argument is that Menghonglou is the best of Jiang Lang. of.

The two parties refused to give in to each other, and each tried to persuade the other with its own arguments.

A controversy about Menghonglou broke out in the capital, which raised his reputation a lot and attracted many guests to the teahouse.

And this matter has nothing to do with Xian Wang Tumin.

Tu Min only cares about one thing——

"Shopkeeper, my lord asked me to ask, why did Mr. Meng Honglou stop updating again? Did something happen to him? When will he resume updating?"

Anyone who has read serial novels knows how anxious they are when waiting for the update every day, and how happy they are after the update.However, if you look forward to it every day and fail to wait for the expected update in the end, the feeling of being poured with cold water on your head is definitely uncomfortable and makes you want to scold your mother.

Tu Min didn't want to scold his mother, but he wanted to beat someone up.

He even moved to find Menghonglou, and then arrest the person to his house, and let him keep an eye on him all the time, and never give up until he writes the update.

He even thought that if Meng Honglou was captured in the house, writing one story a day would definitely not be enough, and he would have to have seven or eight stories that were not the same every day to satisfy him.

But thinking that Zhuang Zhou's Dream of the Red Mansion is related to the Lin family, and he and Lin Hai are considered allies, Tu Min had no choice but to dismiss such thoughts.

The shopkeeper didn't know that King Xian had such dangerous thoughts, and he didn't dare to perfunctory the person sent by King Xian, so he seriously told the visitor the reason given by Zhou Yao: "Mr. Meng Honglou has indeed encountered some things recently. But it’s not a big deal, it’s just a little trivial, which makes him unable to write articles every day. I can assure King Xian that as long as Mr. Meng Honglou can guarantee daily updates, he will notify King Xian as soon as possible.”

The steward was a little distressed: "Since my lord has read the stories of Mr. Meng Honglou, he doesn't like the novels written by other people. Now he almost only reads Mr. Meng Honglou's novels. You don't know, since Meng Honglou How anxious is my prince every day after Mr. cut off the watch?"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.

Mr. Menghonglou does not update, the business of the teahouse is affected, and there are countless customers who come to remind him every day, he is also very embarrassed.

However, Mr. Meng Honglou is not the waiter of the tea house. How can he, a small shopkeeper, force people to write novels?This is totally unrealistic.

The steward also seemed to feel a bit difficult, so he simply asked: "So the prince asked me to come down and ask, what kind of trouble did Mr. Meng Honglou encounter? If there is anything that cannot be solved, you can tell the prince, as the prince, as long as it is not Major matters like murder and arson can be handled for him, and mundane matters will definitely not delay the writing of the article."

The shopkeeper: "...the steward was joking."

This sentence sounds nice, but if you don't know the identity of Meng Honglou, how can you solve your problems?No matter how much you say, this steward, no, it should be said that the idle king behind this steward has only one purpose——

I want to know the identity of Meng Honglou from him, and I plan to use this to get in touch with my husband.

The shopkeeper is insane to tell King Xian the identity of Mr. Meng Honglou.

What's more, he doesn't know yet.

The manager heard this, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared: "My lord said that even if you don't tell me the identity and address of Mr. Meng Honglou, he can have someone investigate it, and it won't take much time. You are doing everything you can now. Hiding it won't help much at all. Besides, my prince doesn't intend to do anything when he wants to come to the address of the gentleman, he just thinks that the update of the gentleman is too slow, and he wants to come to remind the manuscript in person."

Personally come to the door to remind the manuscript, just return it?

The shopkeeper was about to cry from the steward's words: "Don't be alarmist, what is the status of His Royal Highness Xianwang, how could he come to the door to urge the manuscript for an inconspicuous novel, isn't this self-degrading and making people laugh? "

The steward rolled his eyes: "Why did you lower your status? Could it be that the emperor is going to deprive the prince of his title by personally coming to the door to urge the manuscript? I think it's ridiculous for you to say this!"

The shopkeeper: "...Mr. Manager, I really don't know the identity and address of Mr. Meng Honglou. You have asked me many times, and my answer is the same."

The steward chuckled imperceptibly, and before the shopkeeper could react, he spoke again, this time his tone was not so kind, but with a bit of domineering: "I think you are toasting and not eating fine wine. After investigating Mr. Meng Honglou's identity and address, let's see how he teaches you!"

After speaking, the steward walked away.

When the people walked away, the shopkeeper straightened up, swallowed, and wiped the cold sweat on his head again.

This king of idleness, is there nothing to do when he is full?No matter how famous Mr. Meng Honglou is, he is only a writer of novels, so why is he pursued so hard by a prince?

But he didn't know that after the steward reported the matter to Xian Wang Tumin, Tumin didn't ask people to investigate Menghonglou's identity as the steward said.

One is that he has roughly guessed that Meng Honglou is a woman and has a certain relationship with the Lin family; second, even if Meng Honglou's identity is found out, with Lin Hai around, he can't arrest and imprison people according to his own ideas, so it's better not to Know.

But the most important thing is that he had no intention of investigating Meng Honglou's identity.

Letting the steward talk like that in front of the shopkeeper of the teahouse is just a play, so that people can think that he is a dude who has no skills and can only use his status to show off his power everywhere, and has no threat to the throne.

Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is tense, even Tu Min, who is doomed to miss the throne, has to make more preparations so that he can win the prize in the battle for the heir apparent.

Anyway, he was congenitally weak, and the imperial doctor had already told him that he would not live long.

Within two days, the servants came to report that the novel "The Widow" had been shipped to bookstores all over the country. After a few days, when the auspicious day of the zodiac was calculated by Tu Min personally with Qin Tianjian, you can start it directly. sold.

This is good news.

Tu Min smiled, and waved his hand at the steward: "You go to the teahouse and tell the steward the news. Besides, the news of the sale of "The Widow" should also be found by everyone in the capital, so as not to waste time Not many people know about the sale, making Mr. Meng Honglou a joke."

Of course, it is impossible for a joke to become a joke. It is impossible for the noble female audience of the novel "The Widow" to make this book unsalable, but the news of "The Widow" being published and sold can spread to more people's ears Among them, Tu Min will only feel happy if it brings more income to the book shop.

There are many stewards in Tumin's mansion, and each steward has different functions.One of them is dedicated to handling various business matters for Tu Min.

As for business, how to let more customers know the product information, this manager is very clear.

The steward went directly to the shopkeeper of the teahouse: "Shopkeeper, I am the steward of Xianwang's mansion, who specializes in handling business affairs for the prince. Because the novel "The Widow" will start selling in two days, I think I must let more People know the news..."

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper immediately said: "I must publicize this matter in the teahouse, and try to ensure that every customer in the teahouse knows the news of the sale of "The Widowed Man."

The steward smiled and shook his head: "This is not enough."

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled: "I don't know what is your opinion? If you need to cooperate, just tell the old man, and the old man will spare no effort to complete your arrangement."

"The Widow" was originally famous in the teahouse. If it can sell well, it will be of great benefit to the reputation of Mr. Meng Honglou and the teahouse, and it may not only improve it to a higher level.

With such benefits, the shopkeeper will naturally cooperate everywhere.

The steward nodded: "The shopkeeper said so, so I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at Mr. He who was telling the story on the stage, his eyes were bright and hale, "I think, Mr. He's storytelling ability is almost the best in the capital. If it is on the day of the sale, you can invite Mr. He to come to the bookstore Talking about "The Widow" in the office will definitely attract more guests for "The Widow."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth, as if he hadn't expected the steward to make such a request.
