[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family
Chapter 82
Although the prince in Dream of Red Mansions is not exactly the same as that in Kowloon Seizing the Inheritance, and the events that happened in the process of seizing the heirloom are also very different, but some of the main characters, I believe there will not be too much difference.
When Jia Shu returned to Lin's house, his mind was spinning quickly.
If the fourth prince and the crown prince are left alone, perhaps it is more likely that the fourth prince will finally sit on the throne.Even if Jia Daishan knew that the fourth prince might ascend the throne in the future, for now, he would not be able to destroy the help that Emperor Qisheng personally sent to the prince.
Seizing the heir is difficult and dangerous every step of the way. The main problem for the prince is that almost all the princes are targeting him, as well as the Qisheng Emperor who is getting older but can't die no matter what.
But for these two, even if Jia Daishan knew who the last person in power was, the prince still had no good way to avoid it.
It's just that Jia Daishan is not a fool after all, and it's still unknown how far he can sit for the prince.
"Forget it, anyway, for at least the next five years, there is no need for the Lin family to get involved in seizing the throne. What to do in the future depends on what Jia Daishan and the crown prince will do after knowing that the person behind the scenes is the twelve princes."
Lin Ruhai didn't sleep deeply, and when she heard her muttering, she said vaguely, "Ruosang, what are you talking about?"
Jia Shu quickly comforted him: "It's nothing."
Then she turned around and got into Lin Ruhai's arms, hugged his waist and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
-
It wasn't long before the Hundred Days Banquet in Yuanchun. During the first day of the dynasty, the prince's party suddenly attacked the twelve princes——
Censor impeachment, a certain family in the south of the Yangtze River that specializes in raising thin horses, after investigation, it was found that the owner behind it was the Twelve Princes who had been keeping a low profile.Most of those skinny horses were sent to the backyard of Jiangnan officials, and a few of them were even sent to the residence of officials in the capital.
In order to increase the credibility of his impeachment, the censor not only attached the evidence, but also wrote the list of those officials on it.
Among them, there are many officials who have apparently taken refuge in other princes.
Several princes in the court looked at the unknown twelve princes in astonishment, all kinds of thoughts surged in their hearts, but in the end, they all turned into vigilance against the twelve princes.
It was at the time when Emperor Qisheng hated the skinny horse, when he heard the content of the impeachment, he was furious instantly: "Old Twelve, is the content above true?"
Twelve At this moment, his mind turned to countless pros and cons after admitting or denying, and finally, he simply chose to kneel down and admit his mistake: "Father, my son is wrong!"
Emperor Qisheng pointed at the Twelve Princes with a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, so angry that he couldn't say a word.
After a long time, I finally said, "Come here, bring the Twelve Princes back to the Prince's Mansion, and ban him for three years!"
-
"Is the Twelfth Prince imprisoned like this?" When Jia Shu heard the news, his expression was slightly astonished.
It can only be said that the prince is worthy of being a prince. This method of hitting a snake seven inches is really neat and neat, leaving no way out for the twelve princes.
The twelve princes didn't have much hope to participate in the seizure of the heir. As a result, the prince was impeached. Under the attention of all the princes, he had no choice but to stand in line.
Moreover, the prince asked people to impeach the twelve princes to raise a thin horse, and revealed a message——
He knew everything about the actions of the Twelve Princes in Jiangnan.
Including the Twelve Princes who dared to defy the Qisheng Emperor and secretly left Hu Yi's heir behind and brought them to the south of the Yangtze River.
If the twelve princes are smart, even if they don't seek refuge with the prince in the future, they will definitely not dare to fight against him again.
It seems that the Twelfth Prince's original plan to help the Fourth Prince win the heir apparent died prematurely.
While teaching the two children how to read, Lin Ruhai replied to Jia Shu: "It's only been three years, and the emperor didn't really intend to do anything to him."
Whether three years is long or short, it is not a big loss for the Twelfth Prince, who originally had little presence in the capital.
But if he wants to develop his own power, it will become much more difficult.
After all, Emperor Qisheng still had the idea of venting his anger for the prince, but this idea was not so strong anymore.
The prince's side was obviously aware of this, and after that, they became much quieter.
For a while, Chao Zhong was calm.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Shu simply asked people to test the waters in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River——
The content of the first call for essays directly selected the love stories between scholars and various goblins and ghosts.
The content of the popular vernacular is not much different from that of today’s popular vernacular. Jia Shu did this because he just wanted to introduce the form of “writing essays” and to see how accepted it was by those literati.
Of course, rankings are also required for the solicitation of essays, and the top three content will also have generous rewards.
No.1100 taels of silver, No.250 taels, No.325 taels, and the fourth to No.10, there are only ten taels of silver.
After all, it was the first time to test the waters. Jia Shu asked the shopkeepers of the bookstore to write down the requirements when soliciting essays. The number of words in the storybook should not exceed [-] words.At that time, all the award-winning stories will be published in a book, and a book called "Story Collection" will be published directly.
Jia Shu thought, if the effect of soliciting essays is good, the "Story Collection" will be used as a magazine in the future, and it will be published once a month.
But surprisingly, this test of the water did not produce much repercussions.
Jia Shu was a little strange, so he couldn't help calling several shopkeepers to ask.
In the end, the shopkeeper Hu answered her questions: "Mrs. Hui, recently it's the autumn season every three years. Those scholars are busy preparing for the autumn exam. The new test question sets and teaching aids in the book shop are all sold. The stock has been sold out several times, and few scholars have paid attention to the bookstore's essay call."
Shopkeeper Hu has great expectations for the essay, not only because of his trust in Jia Shu, but also because of his confidence in the brand of Linjiashusi——
After several years of word-of-mouth fermentation, the Lin Family Bookstore has become popular with every book it publishes in recent years. Not only great scholars, but even many books written by unknown literati have become famous because they were favored by the Lin Family Bookshop. At the same time also made a fortune.
How many of these literati can resist the temptation of being "famous"?How many of those low-ranking scholars who wrote scripts for bookstores used pseudonyms to make money by writing scriptures for bookstores not for the sake of living?Writing story books for the Lin family can be famous and make money, how could those scholars refuse?
Shopkeeper Hu even felt that this time, the essay call might not be attended by Master Juren.
It's just that the countess may not have paid enough attention to the time of the imperial examination, so that she chose an inappropriate time.
Jia Shu didn't expect Qiu Wei to have such a great influence on the essay collection. After hesitating, he couldn't help asking shopkeeper Hu: "Does the essay collection of the book shop need to be changed?" Chun Wei.
Shopkeeper Hu and the other two shopkeepers looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Shopkeeper Chen calmly analyzed: "The content of the solicitation of essays has been posted on the gate of the bookstore. Although not many people paid attention to it, it was seen by many people. It may be that some of them noticed it and planned to write a storybook to contribute to the bookstore. What's more, the time for this essay call is very long, a full three months, and when those scholars finish participating in Qiu Wei, they will definitely pay attention to them as soon as they have time."
With the guarantee of several shopkeepers, Jia Shu was relieved.
When Lin Ruhai came back, he found that Jia Shu was not in high spirits, so he couldn't help asking her: "You don't seem to be happy these days, but what's bothering you?"
Jia Shu didn't hide anything, and simply told the whole story about the essay collection.
Lin Ruhai hesitated: "Do you need to write a story for your husband?"
Although it seems that no one who has passed the Jinshi exam has ever written a script, but the Lin family bookstore is the property of the Lin family after all, and it seems that it is not too much criticism for him to write a script for his own bookstore.
Jia Shu shook his head again and again: "The books written by scholars are mostly wits and beauties, scholar ghosts and goblins and so on. You go and write. Are you writing about the two or three things Jinshi and Miss Qianjin have to say? You can write it?"
Even with Jia Shu, "the one who is close to ink is black", Lin Ruhai's temperament has changed a lot when getting along with her, but the essence is not so easy to change——
At least if Lin Ruhai were to write the story of a rich lady and a poor scholar, he wouldn't be able to write it.
In this era, according to the words of parents and matchmakers, how could Lin Ruhai, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism and did not suffer too many setbacks since childhood, write that "a dick and a goddess are not accepted by the goddess's family, so they abducted the goddess and eloped" "Such a story that destroys the Three Views?
The hired one is a wife, and the one who runs away is a concubine.
If you don't want to be a rich lady, but go to be a concubine for a poor scholar, how hard are those rich ladies?
But Lin Ruhai had to write it himself...
The main audience of the book is those scholars who have tried repeatedly, or even scholars who are not as good as scholars, plus some ordinary people who have difficulties in studying but are very envious of the lives of scholars. It is completely logical for you to write, After being admitted as a scholar, you have to work hard to take the Juren and Jinshi exams. After passing the exam, you have to be cautious in the officialdom, not daring to make mistakes...
This is not refreshing at all, even if Lin Ruhai doesn't mind, if the story he writes is published directly under his real name, not many people will buy it in the end.
Lin Ruhai's face turned reddish, and she also felt a little embarrassed.
Jia Shu waved his hand: "I have already asked the shopkeeper of the book shop, and they said that the essay application did not cause a splash because it was close to Qiu Wei, and those students were all concentrating on preparing for Qiu Wei's exam, and not many people paid attention. We will see the situation after Qiu Wei , can’t think of another way.”
Although she herself had great expectations for the essay competition, the original reason she wanted to do so was to increase the income of the Lin family bookstore.However, the Lin Family Bookstore is no longer the half-dead state it was before because of teaching aids and test question sets, and soliciting essays is not a must.
Seeing that Jia Shu had adjusted himself, Lin Ruhai was slightly relieved, but before he could relax, he heard Jia Shu say, "Ruhai, after Qiu Wei's exam is over, can you get this year's test questions?"
Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"If we can get it, we can make the answers to the test questions before the results come out, and then sell them. I believe..."
Qiuwei, also known as the township examination, is a grand examination event for outstanding scholars from a province.However, the test questions of the township examination are set by the academic administration and invigilators of each province, which leads to different test questions in each province.
There are 23 provinces in Daxia, that is, there are 23 test questions. If you want to write out all the answers before the ranking is announced...
Lin Ruhai got up abruptly, and then went straight to the door: "Ruosang, my husband suddenly remembered that there is still some work to be done, please keep an eye on the homework of the two children, I will go to the study to deal with official business first."
Jia Shu: "...Pfft."
-
Lin Ruhai was also Jia Shu's husband after all, so of course she wouldn't use the township examination questions to squeeze Lin Ruhai.
But there are many candidates in the capital, and there are also many Jinshi candidates. It is not a big deal to find someone to help with the questions with money.
In less than ten days after Qiuwei's exam, Jia Shu already had nearly [-]% of the answers to Qiuwei's exam questions in his hands.
After giving it to Lin Ruhai to read, she picked out the ones with excellent answers, and made two copies of each set of exam questions, and then published them as a book, and took advantage of the popularity of Qiu Wei to promote and sell them.
That's not to mention, after Qiu Wei's ranking came out, Jia Shu negotiated a deal with Emperor Qisheng——
Publish the top three answers to each province's Qiu Wei into a book.
Of course, Lin Ruhai went to talk to the emperor about this matter.
Because Lin Ruhai was busy compiling the book, Lin Ruhai hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and this time he suddenly asked for an audience, Qi Shengdi felt strange: "What's the important thing that Aiqing is looking for me?"
Lin Ruhai hurriedly told about the publication of the book.
Emperor Qisheng was a little speechless. In Mrs. Lin's heart, what is it that cannot be published?
Teaching supplementary books, test question sets, and answer sets are even more outrageous now, and she is going to compile and publish a book even for the top three answers in each province's township examination.
But if there is money to be made, Emperor Qisheng naturally agrees without hesitation.
Lin Ruhai was relieved, and was about to say goodbye and leave.
Emperor Qisheng suddenly said: "After the Chunwei and the palace examinations are held, won't your wife still think about using the answers from the Chunwei and palace examinations?"
Lin Ruhai was stunned: "...Maybe?" He looked at Emperor Qisheng and answered cautiously, "If His Majesty is willing to support it."
Emperor Qisheng: "..."
-
Not only Qiu Wei's answers, and the top three excellent answers in each province, but also the questions that Emperor Qi Sheng asked someone to hand over to Lin Ruhai after he was speechless.
These answers were divided into ten volumes, which were put on sale in just one month.
It just so happened that Qiu Wei finished his exams and Chun Wei was about to start, and these books were unsurprisingly popular.
But this did not make Jia Shu care. After all, with her previous experience in teaching supplementary books, she has a deeper understanding of how much ancient scholars lack teaching supplementary books other than serious books.
What caught her attention was that after Qiu Wei, with the popularization of various answers, the essay solicitation activities of the Lin family bookstore were also noticed by scholars who came to buy books.
And with the announcement of Qiu Wei's ranking, no matter whether it is the bookstore in the capital or the south of the Yangtze River, the story manuscripts written by the scholars who failed the ranking are like snowflakes, box by box, filling the open space of the bookstore.
When the shopkeepers of the three bookstores in the capital brought the manuscripts that had been screened once into the Lin family, Jia Shu was shocked by the manuscripts filled with a wooden box half a person tall: "Aren't these manuscripts too much?" too much?"
Shopkeeper Hu didn't take it seriously: "Many scholars' families are poor. In order to continue their studies, they can only rely on copying books or writing scripts to earn some money to subsidize their families."
We are all scholars, and the writing style will not vary too much.But writing is a matter of talent and luck.The same story, written in different ways, is published at different times, and readers' popularity will vary greatly.This has also led to the fact that among those scholars who write scripts, there are still a small number of them who actually make money because of it.
The bonus given out by the Lin Family Bookstore, even the last ten taels of silver, if it is more frugal, is enough for ordinary people to live for a year.
At the end of the autumn, most of the scholars failed the rankings and failed to pass the exam, but they went to Fucheng to rush for the exam and various entertainments, which had exhausted the savings of most of the scholars' families. At this time, they were depressed and sad, and wanted to find other ways out. At that time, the Lin Family Bookstore's essay call just solved their urgent need.
Half a month later, Jia Shu picked out the top ten winners and handed them directly to the printing workshop. At the same time, he handed over the list of winners to the shopkeeper of the bookstore, asking them to post their names and hand over the prize money to them.
In another half a month, "Story Collection" was published.
At the beginning, not many people paid attention to this book. After all, the stories on the market are all similar, and the content of the book "Story Collection" is the same as that of other bookstores.
Moreover, the Lin family bookstore has not been famous for its scripts all along.
After the other bookstores found out about the actions of the Lin Family Bookstore, they felt that the Lin Family Bookstore had finally made a foolish move, and some even went out to find the shopkeeper of the Lin Family Bookstore and laughed at them.
After seeing the actions of the Lin family bookstore, several bookstores felt that they had found the confidence to recover the losses they suffered from the Lin family bookstore, and contacted the scholars who contributed to their respective bookstores, and then hurriedly published.
For a while, there were at least three times more scripts on the market than usual.
The three shopkeepers were very confident in "Story Collection", completely ignored their gossip, and did not feel anxious.
The turning point of the matter happened when the storyteller in a well-known Mingxin teahouse in Beijing adapted the "Story Collection" directly after storytelling in the teahouse.
Mingxin Teahouse is not the most famous group in the capital, but it is one of the best in the north of the city.In particular, this teahouse is more down-to-earth than other well-known teahouses, and I specially found four or five storytellers to tell stories in the teahouse in turn.And these storytellers are all very smooth-talking, and they can tell stories in succession, and suspense is repeated. Behind every storyteller, there are many crowds, so the business of Mingxin Teahouse is very good.
On this day, Liu Yu, the storyteller of Mingxin Teahouse, picked up the gavel and slapped it hard on the table——
"It is said that in the land of smoke and willows in the south of the Yangtze River, there is an actor who is very famous. Because of his innate pair of affectionate eyes, when he looks up at people, the waves of light flow, as if he is wearing a hook that seduces the soul, and the hook is unbearable..."
"But he is self-respecting and self-loving, and he doesn't lie to those dignitaries who want to redeem him..."
"The son of the inspector's family relies on his own power and doesn't take other people's wishes into consideration. After he heard about the actor's reputation, he asked people to invite him three times and four times, but was rejected every time. This son thinks that the actor doesn't talk He saw it in his eyes, so he simply brought someone to snatch him home..."
"Unexpectedly, when the actor came into his backyard, he was gentle and flattering..."
"Although the actor is beautiful, there are many beauties in the young master's backyard. After a long time, the young master quickly lost interest and completely forgot about the eternal alliance with the actor. The strange thing is that the actor was not angry, and even had a relationship with the actor. The girls in the young master's backyard are getting along well, but they don't seem to care about the young master at all, even when the young master occasionally visits her courtyard, she persuades him to go to other girls' courtyards with various reasons..."
This is a completely different story direction from other stories, which arouses the curiosity of the guests very well.Everyone was hearing the excitement, but they heard the storyteller's gavel sound "pop": "If you want to hear about the future, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"
The guests in the teahouse were in an uproar immediately, and then asked about the follow-up and what happened to the actor.
But the storyteller didn't say a word in order to keep suspense.Even because the time for storytelling was up, he picked up his things and went home directly.
At this time, the second storyteller came on stage.
Others are immersed in the previous story, and have no interest in the story that this storyteller wants to tell——
The key is that everyone is an old customer of Mingxin Teahouse, and they have heard the story that the storyteller is about to tell three or four times, and they are already familiar with it by heart.No matter how sharp the storyteller is, no one is willing to listen to another story when everyone's minds are completely taken away by another story.
But after the storyteller opened his mouth and said something, the guests all shut up and fixed their eyes on the storyteller.
For no other reason, the storyteller actually changed the story.
You must know that the story he tells is the book of the Liu Family Bookstore that was published some time ago, and the author is a long-established Bashoshe.This storyteller is very fond of every story of Bashosheren, and as long as he saves the scriptures, he can tell the story more than five times in Mingxin Teahouse.
The storyteller smiled and continued the previous story.
"It is said that in a certain place in Jianghuai, there is a peony with an abnormal color. After being planted by a gardener, it is very popular among literati. After being bought at a high price, its owner even held a high-profile flower viewing party for it. Many literati in Jianghuai went there... "
"However, on the night before the flower viewing feast, the peony was accidentally stolen, and the flower viewing feast was naturally over, causing the owner of the peony to be furious..."
"The strange thing is that after the time for the flower viewing feast, that peony unexpectedly returned to the mansion. The owner was overjoyed and was about to post another post to invite friends to enjoy the flowers, but that peony turned into a young woman..."
"The two hit it off, it's been a fairy days..."
"Not long after, the master suddenly died suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but suspect this young woman who suddenly appeared..."
"But just when the people in the government were planning to arrest her, the woman disappeared from the house without anyone knowing where she was..."
"In the end, the people in the government had no choice but to give up and arrest individuals at will. But at this moment, they suddenly heard that the gardener who cultivated different-colored peonies, a family of five, was suddenly found murdered at home by his neighbors." , a miserable death..."
There are timid guests who firmly grasp the edge of the table. They are obviously afraid, but they still stare at the storyteller, lest they miss a word.
however……
"Snapped--"
"If you want to hear about the future, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"
Everyone: "..."
Those who have a bad temper have already started to scold their mothers; even those scholars with a good temper can't sit still at this time, and start to argue with the storyteller.
You said that the first storyteller was like this, and left in the middle of telling the story, why is the second storyteller still like this?
The storyteller was also used to big scenes, so he shook his fan and pointed to the shopkeeper who was standing beside him: "The shopkeeper stipulates that each person only has this little time for storytelling every day, so please don't find the wrong person when you complain. .”
After finishing speaking, he stepped out of the gate of Mingxin Teahouse swaggeringly.
All the guests looked at the shopkeeper with fire in their eyes.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse couldn't help wiping away his sweat, and his expression couldn't be maintained: "Guest officers, there are five storytellers in the teahouse every day, and each person can only give so much time a day. Don't you all know that? ?”
Some people were angry: "The usual storyteller didn't see the most critical point in his storytelling, so he let go of it!"
In fact, there are, but such a situation only happens once a day, never twice in a row.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to say to them: "These stories are all from the scripts. If you want to know, you can go to the book store to buy the scripts..."
"If I knew how to read, I would have gone to the scholar exam a long time ago, and I'm still listening to people's stories in your broken teahouse?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help it, so he had to quickly let the third storyteller play.
The others were just unhappy, and it was fine to make a fuss, but when they saw the storyteller on stage, they naturally turned to look at the storyteller.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse breathed a sigh of relief.
The waiter next to him couldn't help but said, "Shopkeeper, if I remember correctly, this third story is also..."
The shopkeeper of the teahouse opened his eyes wide. Thinking of the arrangement of the master, he couldn't sit still. When everyone was not paying attention, he quickly slipped through the back door of the teahouse.
When the third story, like the previous two, came to an abrupt end, the guests in the teahouse couldn't bear it any longer, and all geared up to turn their heads to settle accounts with the shopkeeper.
The waiter looked at a group of angry customers in awe, and said without tears: "The shopkeeper has already left..."
Everyone: "..." Forget it, since the old boy is less courageous than a mouse, they let him go for the time being!
But this kind of thought was kicked out of their minds by the two storytellers after they finished the book——
"Don't let me catch this shopkeeper next time, or I will definitely beat him to the point of crying!"
"If caught by me, I will definitely beat him to the ground!"
"I must..."
A group of people originally had a good time drinking tea in the teahouse, but finally they pretended to be angry and went home. They were curious and uncomfortable about the ending of the story that was not told, and they were naturally dissatisfied with the shopkeeper of Mingxin Teahouse.
When they got home, the family members would naturally ask why, and then they told the truth.
"Aren't the stories told by those storytellers all from the scripts? If you really want to know the ending immediately, why don't you just go to the book shop and buy the scripts?"
"I am illiterate!"
"Isn't the so-and-so next door already in school? Go find him and read to you."
"That brat's mouth is very stupid, how can Liu Yu speak it vividly?"
"You just want to know the ending, whether he read it vividly or not? If you are not satisfied after listening to it, at worst, you can go to the teahouse tomorrow and listen to the storyteller tell it again, wouldn't it be fine?"
"Too……"
"Why don't you go buy it now?"
"...I forgot to ask the shopkeeper who wrote the book and which bookstore sold it."
"..."
"Okay, this book, you better not buy it, and listen to it at the teahouse tomorrow!"
This kind of story didn't just happen in one family, but the people who listened to the book that day were more than a few rough people, and there were naturally some readers who could read.After hearing the story, they went directly to several familiar bookstores to inquire.
But surprisingly, none of the familiar bookstores sold those stories.
There was no other way, these people had no choice but to enter Mingxin Teahouse with two dark circles under their eyes in the early morning of the next day.
Early in the morning, the shopkeeper had to sit in the teahouse, but seeing yesterday's guests entering the teahouse one by one earlier, his heart immediately jumped up and he panicked.
Fortunately, as soon as these people entered the door, they quickly found a place to sit down, and they all sat obediently in their seats and waited for Liu Yu to play.
The shopkeeper was very hesitant, he didn't know if he should leave at this time.
But thinking about today's arrangement, he still bit the bullet and stayed.
After Liu Yu came on stage, he continued with yesterday's story: "The young master was pushed to someone else's yard by the actor, and for some reason, he started to care about her in his heart."
All the people present were men, and they immediately let out a clear laugh.
"The poor man doesn't want him to enter the house. That young master can't force him, otherwise, if people know that he can't even deal with his own woman, what face does he have in front of other friends? After thinking about it, he took advantage of the night and touched Went outside the actor's house, carefully blew smoke into the house to stun people, and then entered the door."
"The actor was lying on the bed and lethargic. When the young man went in and saw it, he felt that the actor's face was like peach blossoms, and he seemed to have the feeling of surprise when he saw the actor for the first time. He couldn't wait to press down on him."
As soon as the words fell, whistles sounded in the lobby of the teahouse, and the laughter in the mouths of the guests became a little more joking.
But Liu Yu changed the subject: "Only early the next morning, people in the house discovered that there were two more skeletons on the actor's bed..."
Everyone: "..." Damn, you took off your pants, and you suddenly took out the scissors, what kind of hatred?
Originally thought it was a little Huangwen stuffed with sauce, but who knew it suddenly turned into a horror story!
That Liu Yu didn't seem to notice the scolding voices that the guests were about to blurt out, and continued to tell the story: "It turned out that the actor committed suicide as early as after entering the mansion. The evil spirits bent over the actor for the purpose of revenge!"
"It's just that the yin energy is insufficient at the beginning, so you can only contact other women. After absorbing enough, the young master will have sex with the actor again, and he will have to be sucked by her to die."
Everyone: "..."
The story is a good story, but this is not the story they want!
When Liu Yu finished speaking, seeing that there was still time left, he said, "This story is called "Actor's Complaint". If you like it, you can buy it at the Lin Family Bookstore."
Others: "..." Don't want to buy it?
"There is still time left, so next, I will tell you another story."
Others: "..." No, we refuse, we don't want to listen to your stories anymore!
"It is said that in the area of Jinling, there is a family who has an only daughter who is very charming and charming. Not only is she good-looking, she is plump, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It broke the threshold of her house."
"It's a pity that the lady's father is a businessman who puts his interests first. He ignored the lady's begging and promised her to the official as a house fill."
"And in the south of Jinling City, there was a talented scholar who had an accidental encounter with this young lady. After that, he fell in love with her deeply. After hearing about it, he ran to the backyard of the young lady's house regardless of etiquette. Climb the wall and enter."
"The two quickly fell in love with each other, but the young lady's father looked down on Xiucai very much. Even though Xiucai had exhausted all his efforts, he didn't get a look..."
"In order to get rid of the fate of being a house fill-in, that young lady eloped with a scholar..."
"Later, the scholar made great progress all the way, passed the Jinshi examination, and was appointed a high official. He was valued by his superiors and betrothed his daughter to the scholar. From then on, the scholar was very happy with his beautiful wife and beautiful family."
"But soon, the scholar's body became weaker and weaker, and finally he was lingering on the sick bed, unable to get up again."
Liu Yu smiled, "I want to hear about the future..."
Everyone immediately made a fuss, rushing to the storytelling table one by one, stopping Liu Yu from leaving.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse couldn't sit still, so he could only come over to maintain order.
Unexpectedly, when those people saw the shopkeeper of the teahouse, they all transferred their anger to the shopkeeper, and their eyes were spitting fire when they looked at him, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Don't be impatient, everyone. You haven't told the ending of those stories you heard yesterday. Are you really going to stop here?" the shopkeeper said bravely, "If that's the case, I will leave Liu Yu alone. Next, let the other storytellers leave."
Others: "..." Dare to be angry but dare not speak!
The ending of one story, and the ending of four stories, everyone knows how to choose.
However, they were also worried that the remaining four storytellers would tell another fresh story like Liu Yu after telling the ending of yesterday's story, and then cut off at a critical place.
If that's the case, they will really beat someone up!
The shopkeeper listened to every guest's threats, and he was unavoidably flustered.But this matter was ordered by the real owner of the teahouse, and he had no other choice but to follow suit.
The second storyteller came on stage and told the ending of yesterday's story: "It turns out that the gardener didn't hesitate to kill his eldest daughter in order to breed peonies with unusual colors."
"The young woman that the owner of the peony saw was the resentment of the gardener's eldest daughter. It was just that at the beginning, she was weak and had no other choice but to have sex with the owner of the peony."
"The gardener's eldest daughter didn't intend to kill the peony owner at first, but later she knew that the reason why the gardener was so persistent in cultivating different-colored peonies was because the owner of the peony heard that a high-ranking official liked peonies. I want to use the fame of the different-colored peony to get in touch with people."
Everyone: "..."
The promised flower demon and female ghost are in love with each other, how about singing every night?The promised beauty loves the scholar, so why not hesitate to elope for him?The promised goblin loves the scholar, and she will not hesitate to break her own cultivation for him, and help him get a title on the gold list?
Forget it, I don't want to talk anymore.
However, even if they want to scold their mothers in their hearts, they still listen to the other stories told by these storytellers, even if they know there are pitfalls.
And the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and every storyteller will remember to advertise the book of Linjiashusi after finishing the book.
This kind of hunger marketing strategy is very useful. After the storytelling in the teahouse was finished that day, the guests rushed to the Lin family bookstore, all of whom bought "Story Collection".
Originally, many people were ready to buy ten story books, but who knew that when they arrived at the Lin Family Bookstore, they were told that all the stories were in the same book, and in this book, there were a total of ten different stories. , but a story of good quality and writing.
Even if you can't read, everyone knows how to settle accounts.
Originally, there was only one story in a storybook, but it was the price to buy it at a bookstore. Now there are four stories in a book. Content, they still make money!
Everyone couldn't wait to buy a copy of "Story Collection", and they didn't feel sorry for the money.
-
The reputation of "Story Collection" gradually spread, and more and more people came to Linjiashudian to buy this book.
Although it is not as good as those teaching supplementary books, compared to other books in Lin Family Bookstore, it is already a very good sales volume.
At this time, the Lin Family Bookstore once again posted a call for essays——
This time, the subject of the essay is Cultivation of Immortals.
For the sake of convenience, Jia Shu even made the Taoist teachings "refining qi to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, practicing spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine Taoism" into grades and posted them directly.
Whether it's the love of immortals, how to cultivate immortals, or even the battle between immortals...all comers are welcome.
Surprisingly, the call for essays this time caught the attention of Emperor Qisheng.
Emperor Qisheng called Lin Ruhai to the upper study room: "The idea of soliciting essays this time is also your wife's idea? How did she think of having someone write a story about cultivating immortals? Do you know that this is disrespectful to Mantian gods and Buddhas?"
Lin Ruhai was a little confused. In his opinion, although there have been corresponding legends about "cultivating immortals" since ancient times, they are completely unbelievable.He couldn't understand at all, why did Emperor Qisheng
When Jia Shu returned to Lin's house, his mind was spinning quickly.
If the fourth prince and the crown prince are left alone, perhaps it is more likely that the fourth prince will finally sit on the throne.Even if Jia Daishan knew that the fourth prince might ascend the throne in the future, for now, he would not be able to destroy the help that Emperor Qisheng personally sent to the prince.
Seizing the heir is difficult and dangerous every step of the way. The main problem for the prince is that almost all the princes are targeting him, as well as the Qisheng Emperor who is getting older but can't die no matter what.
But for these two, even if Jia Daishan knew who the last person in power was, the prince still had no good way to avoid it.
It's just that Jia Daishan is not a fool after all, and it's still unknown how far he can sit for the prince.
"Forget it, anyway, for at least the next five years, there is no need for the Lin family to get involved in seizing the throne. What to do in the future depends on what Jia Daishan and the crown prince will do after knowing that the person behind the scenes is the twelve princes."
Lin Ruhai didn't sleep deeply, and when she heard her muttering, she said vaguely, "Ruosang, what are you talking about?"
Jia Shu quickly comforted him: "It's nothing."
Then she turned around and got into Lin Ruhai's arms, hugged his waist and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
-
It wasn't long before the Hundred Days Banquet in Yuanchun. During the first day of the dynasty, the prince's party suddenly attacked the twelve princes——
Censor impeachment, a certain family in the south of the Yangtze River that specializes in raising thin horses, after investigation, it was found that the owner behind it was the Twelve Princes who had been keeping a low profile.Most of those skinny horses were sent to the backyard of Jiangnan officials, and a few of them were even sent to the residence of officials in the capital.
In order to increase the credibility of his impeachment, the censor not only attached the evidence, but also wrote the list of those officials on it.
Among them, there are many officials who have apparently taken refuge in other princes.
Several princes in the court looked at the unknown twelve princes in astonishment, all kinds of thoughts surged in their hearts, but in the end, they all turned into vigilance against the twelve princes.
It was at the time when Emperor Qisheng hated the skinny horse, when he heard the content of the impeachment, he was furious instantly: "Old Twelve, is the content above true?"
Twelve At this moment, his mind turned to countless pros and cons after admitting or denying, and finally, he simply chose to kneel down and admit his mistake: "Father, my son is wrong!"
Emperor Qisheng pointed at the Twelve Princes with a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, so angry that he couldn't say a word.
After a long time, I finally said, "Come here, bring the Twelve Princes back to the Prince's Mansion, and ban him for three years!"
-
"Is the Twelfth Prince imprisoned like this?" When Jia Shu heard the news, his expression was slightly astonished.
It can only be said that the prince is worthy of being a prince. This method of hitting a snake seven inches is really neat and neat, leaving no way out for the twelve princes.
The twelve princes didn't have much hope to participate in the seizure of the heir. As a result, the prince was impeached. Under the attention of all the princes, he had no choice but to stand in line.
Moreover, the prince asked people to impeach the twelve princes to raise a thin horse, and revealed a message——
He knew everything about the actions of the Twelve Princes in Jiangnan.
Including the Twelve Princes who dared to defy the Qisheng Emperor and secretly left Hu Yi's heir behind and brought them to the south of the Yangtze River.
If the twelve princes are smart, even if they don't seek refuge with the prince in the future, they will definitely not dare to fight against him again.
It seems that the Twelfth Prince's original plan to help the Fourth Prince win the heir apparent died prematurely.
While teaching the two children how to read, Lin Ruhai replied to Jia Shu: "It's only been three years, and the emperor didn't really intend to do anything to him."
Whether three years is long or short, it is not a big loss for the Twelfth Prince, who originally had little presence in the capital.
But if he wants to develop his own power, it will become much more difficult.
After all, Emperor Qisheng still had the idea of venting his anger for the prince, but this idea was not so strong anymore.
The prince's side was obviously aware of this, and after that, they became much quieter.
For a while, Chao Zhong was calm.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jia Shu simply asked people to test the waters in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River——
The content of the first call for essays directly selected the love stories between scholars and various goblins and ghosts.
The content of the popular vernacular is not much different from that of today’s popular vernacular. Jia Shu did this because he just wanted to introduce the form of “writing essays” and to see how accepted it was by those literati.
Of course, rankings are also required for the solicitation of essays, and the top three content will also have generous rewards.
No.1100 taels of silver, No.250 taels, No.325 taels, and the fourth to No.10, there are only ten taels of silver.
After all, it was the first time to test the waters. Jia Shu asked the shopkeepers of the bookstore to write down the requirements when soliciting essays. The number of words in the storybook should not exceed [-] words.At that time, all the award-winning stories will be published in a book, and a book called "Story Collection" will be published directly.
Jia Shu thought, if the effect of soliciting essays is good, the "Story Collection" will be used as a magazine in the future, and it will be published once a month.
But surprisingly, this test of the water did not produce much repercussions.
Jia Shu was a little strange, so he couldn't help calling several shopkeepers to ask.
In the end, the shopkeeper Hu answered her questions: "Mrs. Hui, recently it's the autumn season every three years. Those scholars are busy preparing for the autumn exam. The new test question sets and teaching aids in the book shop are all sold. The stock has been sold out several times, and few scholars have paid attention to the bookstore's essay call."
Shopkeeper Hu has great expectations for the essay, not only because of his trust in Jia Shu, but also because of his confidence in the brand of Linjiashusi——
After several years of word-of-mouth fermentation, the Lin Family Bookstore has become popular with every book it publishes in recent years. Not only great scholars, but even many books written by unknown literati have become famous because they were favored by the Lin Family Bookshop. At the same time also made a fortune.
How many of these literati can resist the temptation of being "famous"?How many of those low-ranking scholars who wrote scripts for bookstores used pseudonyms to make money by writing scriptures for bookstores not for the sake of living?Writing story books for the Lin family can be famous and make money, how could those scholars refuse?
Shopkeeper Hu even felt that this time, the essay call might not be attended by Master Juren.
It's just that the countess may not have paid enough attention to the time of the imperial examination, so that she chose an inappropriate time.
Jia Shu didn't expect Qiu Wei to have such a great influence on the essay collection. After hesitating, he couldn't help asking shopkeeper Hu: "Does the essay collection of the book shop need to be changed?" Chun Wei.
Shopkeeper Hu and the other two shopkeepers looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Shopkeeper Chen calmly analyzed: "The content of the solicitation of essays has been posted on the gate of the bookstore. Although not many people paid attention to it, it was seen by many people. It may be that some of them noticed it and planned to write a storybook to contribute to the bookstore. What's more, the time for this essay call is very long, a full three months, and when those scholars finish participating in Qiu Wei, they will definitely pay attention to them as soon as they have time."
With the guarantee of several shopkeepers, Jia Shu was relieved.
When Lin Ruhai came back, he found that Jia Shu was not in high spirits, so he couldn't help asking her: "You don't seem to be happy these days, but what's bothering you?"
Jia Shu didn't hide anything, and simply told the whole story about the essay collection.
Lin Ruhai hesitated: "Do you need to write a story for your husband?"
Although it seems that no one who has passed the Jinshi exam has ever written a script, but the Lin family bookstore is the property of the Lin family after all, and it seems that it is not too much criticism for him to write a script for his own bookstore.
Jia Shu shook his head again and again: "The books written by scholars are mostly wits and beauties, scholar ghosts and goblins and so on. You go and write. Are you writing about the two or three things Jinshi and Miss Qianjin have to say? You can write it?"
Even with Jia Shu, "the one who is close to ink is black", Lin Ruhai's temperament has changed a lot when getting along with her, but the essence is not so easy to change——
At least if Lin Ruhai were to write the story of a rich lady and a poor scholar, he wouldn't be able to write it.
In this era, according to the words of parents and matchmakers, how could Lin Ruhai, who was deeply influenced by Confucianism and did not suffer too many setbacks since childhood, write that "a dick and a goddess are not accepted by the goddess's family, so they abducted the goddess and eloped" "Such a story that destroys the Three Views?
The hired one is a wife, and the one who runs away is a concubine.
If you don't want to be a rich lady, but go to be a concubine for a poor scholar, how hard are those rich ladies?
But Lin Ruhai had to write it himself...
The main audience of the book is those scholars who have tried repeatedly, or even scholars who are not as good as scholars, plus some ordinary people who have difficulties in studying but are very envious of the lives of scholars. It is completely logical for you to write, After being admitted as a scholar, you have to work hard to take the Juren and Jinshi exams. After passing the exam, you have to be cautious in the officialdom, not daring to make mistakes...
This is not refreshing at all, even if Lin Ruhai doesn't mind, if the story he writes is published directly under his real name, not many people will buy it in the end.
Lin Ruhai's face turned reddish, and she also felt a little embarrassed.
Jia Shu waved his hand: "I have already asked the shopkeeper of the book shop, and they said that the essay application did not cause a splash because it was close to Qiu Wei, and those students were all concentrating on preparing for Qiu Wei's exam, and not many people paid attention. We will see the situation after Qiu Wei , can’t think of another way.”
Although she herself had great expectations for the essay competition, the original reason she wanted to do so was to increase the income of the Lin family bookstore.However, the Lin Family Bookstore is no longer the half-dead state it was before because of teaching aids and test question sets, and soliciting essays is not a must.
Seeing that Jia Shu had adjusted himself, Lin Ruhai was slightly relieved, but before he could relax, he heard Jia Shu say, "Ruhai, after Qiu Wei's exam is over, can you get this year's test questions?"
Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"If we can get it, we can make the answers to the test questions before the results come out, and then sell them. I believe..."
Qiuwei, also known as the township examination, is a grand examination event for outstanding scholars from a province.However, the test questions of the township examination are set by the academic administration and invigilators of each province, which leads to different test questions in each province.
There are 23 provinces in Daxia, that is, there are 23 test questions. If you want to write out all the answers before the ranking is announced...
Lin Ruhai got up abruptly, and then went straight to the door: "Ruosang, my husband suddenly remembered that there is still some work to be done, please keep an eye on the homework of the two children, I will go to the study to deal with official business first."
Jia Shu: "...Pfft."
-
Lin Ruhai was also Jia Shu's husband after all, so of course she wouldn't use the township examination questions to squeeze Lin Ruhai.
But there are many candidates in the capital, and there are also many Jinshi candidates. It is not a big deal to find someone to help with the questions with money.
In less than ten days after Qiuwei's exam, Jia Shu already had nearly [-]% of the answers to Qiuwei's exam questions in his hands.
After giving it to Lin Ruhai to read, she picked out the ones with excellent answers, and made two copies of each set of exam questions, and then published them as a book, and took advantage of the popularity of Qiu Wei to promote and sell them.
That's not to mention, after Qiu Wei's ranking came out, Jia Shu negotiated a deal with Emperor Qisheng——
Publish the top three answers to each province's Qiu Wei into a book.
Of course, Lin Ruhai went to talk to the emperor about this matter.
Because Lin Ruhai was busy compiling the book, Lin Ruhai hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and this time he suddenly asked for an audience, Qi Shengdi felt strange: "What's the important thing that Aiqing is looking for me?"
Lin Ruhai hurriedly told about the publication of the book.
Emperor Qisheng was a little speechless. In Mrs. Lin's heart, what is it that cannot be published?
Teaching supplementary books, test question sets, and answer sets are even more outrageous now, and she is going to compile and publish a book even for the top three answers in each province's township examination.
But if there is money to be made, Emperor Qisheng naturally agrees without hesitation.
Lin Ruhai was relieved, and was about to say goodbye and leave.
Emperor Qisheng suddenly said: "After the Chunwei and the palace examinations are held, won't your wife still think about using the answers from the Chunwei and palace examinations?"
Lin Ruhai was stunned: "...Maybe?" He looked at Emperor Qisheng and answered cautiously, "If His Majesty is willing to support it."
Emperor Qisheng: "..."
-
Not only Qiu Wei's answers, and the top three excellent answers in each province, but also the questions that Emperor Qi Sheng asked someone to hand over to Lin Ruhai after he was speechless.
These answers were divided into ten volumes, which were put on sale in just one month.
It just so happened that Qiu Wei finished his exams and Chun Wei was about to start, and these books were unsurprisingly popular.
But this did not make Jia Shu care. After all, with her previous experience in teaching supplementary books, she has a deeper understanding of how much ancient scholars lack teaching supplementary books other than serious books.
What caught her attention was that after Qiu Wei, with the popularization of various answers, the essay solicitation activities of the Lin family bookstore were also noticed by scholars who came to buy books.
And with the announcement of Qiu Wei's ranking, no matter whether it is the bookstore in the capital or the south of the Yangtze River, the story manuscripts written by the scholars who failed the ranking are like snowflakes, box by box, filling the open space of the bookstore.
When the shopkeepers of the three bookstores in the capital brought the manuscripts that had been screened once into the Lin family, Jia Shu was shocked by the manuscripts filled with a wooden box half a person tall: "Aren't these manuscripts too much?" too much?"
Shopkeeper Hu didn't take it seriously: "Many scholars' families are poor. In order to continue their studies, they can only rely on copying books or writing scripts to earn some money to subsidize their families."
We are all scholars, and the writing style will not vary too much.But writing is a matter of talent and luck.The same story, written in different ways, is published at different times, and readers' popularity will vary greatly.This has also led to the fact that among those scholars who write scripts, there are still a small number of them who actually make money because of it.
The bonus given out by the Lin Family Bookstore, even the last ten taels of silver, if it is more frugal, is enough for ordinary people to live for a year.
At the end of the autumn, most of the scholars failed the rankings and failed to pass the exam, but they went to Fucheng to rush for the exam and various entertainments, which had exhausted the savings of most of the scholars' families. At this time, they were depressed and sad, and wanted to find other ways out. At that time, the Lin Family Bookstore's essay call just solved their urgent need.
Half a month later, Jia Shu picked out the top ten winners and handed them directly to the printing workshop. At the same time, he handed over the list of winners to the shopkeeper of the bookstore, asking them to post their names and hand over the prize money to them.
In another half a month, "Story Collection" was published.
At the beginning, not many people paid attention to this book. After all, the stories on the market are all similar, and the content of the book "Story Collection" is the same as that of other bookstores.
Moreover, the Lin family bookstore has not been famous for its scripts all along.
After the other bookstores found out about the actions of the Lin Family Bookstore, they felt that the Lin Family Bookstore had finally made a foolish move, and some even went out to find the shopkeeper of the Lin Family Bookstore and laughed at them.
After seeing the actions of the Lin family bookstore, several bookstores felt that they had found the confidence to recover the losses they suffered from the Lin family bookstore, and contacted the scholars who contributed to their respective bookstores, and then hurriedly published.
For a while, there were at least three times more scripts on the market than usual.
The three shopkeepers were very confident in "Story Collection", completely ignored their gossip, and did not feel anxious.
The turning point of the matter happened when the storyteller in a well-known Mingxin teahouse in Beijing adapted the "Story Collection" directly after storytelling in the teahouse.
Mingxin Teahouse is not the most famous group in the capital, but it is one of the best in the north of the city.In particular, this teahouse is more down-to-earth than other well-known teahouses, and I specially found four or five storytellers to tell stories in the teahouse in turn.And these storytellers are all very smooth-talking, and they can tell stories in succession, and suspense is repeated. Behind every storyteller, there are many crowds, so the business of Mingxin Teahouse is very good.
On this day, Liu Yu, the storyteller of Mingxin Teahouse, picked up the gavel and slapped it hard on the table——
"It is said that in the land of smoke and willows in the south of the Yangtze River, there is an actor who is very famous. Because of his innate pair of affectionate eyes, when he looks up at people, the waves of light flow, as if he is wearing a hook that seduces the soul, and the hook is unbearable..."
"But he is self-respecting and self-loving, and he doesn't lie to those dignitaries who want to redeem him..."
"The son of the inspector's family relies on his own power and doesn't take other people's wishes into consideration. After he heard about the actor's reputation, he asked people to invite him three times and four times, but was rejected every time. This son thinks that the actor doesn't talk He saw it in his eyes, so he simply brought someone to snatch him home..."
"Unexpectedly, when the actor came into his backyard, he was gentle and flattering..."
"Although the actor is beautiful, there are many beauties in the young master's backyard. After a long time, the young master quickly lost interest and completely forgot about the eternal alliance with the actor. The strange thing is that the actor was not angry, and even had a relationship with the actor. The girls in the young master's backyard are getting along well, but they don't seem to care about the young master at all, even when the young master occasionally visits her courtyard, she persuades him to go to other girls' courtyards with various reasons..."
This is a completely different story direction from other stories, which arouses the curiosity of the guests very well.Everyone was hearing the excitement, but they heard the storyteller's gavel sound "pop": "If you want to hear about the future, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"
The guests in the teahouse were in an uproar immediately, and then asked about the follow-up and what happened to the actor.
But the storyteller didn't say a word in order to keep suspense.Even because the time for storytelling was up, he picked up his things and went home directly.
At this time, the second storyteller came on stage.
Others are immersed in the previous story, and have no interest in the story that this storyteller wants to tell——
The key is that everyone is an old customer of Mingxin Teahouse, and they have heard the story that the storyteller is about to tell three or four times, and they are already familiar with it by heart.No matter how sharp the storyteller is, no one is willing to listen to another story when everyone's minds are completely taken away by another story.
But after the storyteller opened his mouth and said something, the guests all shut up and fixed their eyes on the storyteller.
For no other reason, the storyteller actually changed the story.
You must know that the story he tells is the book of the Liu Family Bookstore that was published some time ago, and the author is a long-established Bashoshe.This storyteller is very fond of every story of Bashosheren, and as long as he saves the scriptures, he can tell the story more than five times in Mingxin Teahouse.
The storyteller smiled and continued the previous story.
"It is said that in a certain place in Jianghuai, there is a peony with an abnormal color. After being planted by a gardener, it is very popular among literati. After being bought at a high price, its owner even held a high-profile flower viewing party for it. Many literati in Jianghuai went there... "
"However, on the night before the flower viewing feast, the peony was accidentally stolen, and the flower viewing feast was naturally over, causing the owner of the peony to be furious..."
"The strange thing is that after the time for the flower viewing feast, that peony unexpectedly returned to the mansion. The owner was overjoyed and was about to post another post to invite friends to enjoy the flowers, but that peony turned into a young woman..."
"The two hit it off, it's been a fairy days..."
"Not long after, the master suddenly died suddenly, and everyone couldn't help but suspect this young woman who suddenly appeared..."
"But just when the people in the government were planning to arrest her, the woman disappeared from the house without anyone knowing where she was..."
"In the end, the people in the government had no choice but to give up and arrest individuals at will. But at this moment, they suddenly heard that the gardener who cultivated different-colored peonies, a family of five, was suddenly found murdered at home by his neighbors." , a miserable death..."
There are timid guests who firmly grasp the edge of the table. They are obviously afraid, but they still stare at the storyteller, lest they miss a word.
however……
"Snapped--"
"If you want to hear about the future, please listen to the next chapter to break it down!"
Everyone: "..."
Those who have a bad temper have already started to scold their mothers; even those scholars with a good temper can't sit still at this time, and start to argue with the storyteller.
You said that the first storyteller was like this, and left in the middle of telling the story, why is the second storyteller still like this?
The storyteller was also used to big scenes, so he shook his fan and pointed to the shopkeeper who was standing beside him: "The shopkeeper stipulates that each person only has this little time for storytelling every day, so please don't find the wrong person when you complain. .”
After finishing speaking, he stepped out of the gate of Mingxin Teahouse swaggeringly.
All the guests looked at the shopkeeper with fire in their eyes.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse couldn't help wiping away his sweat, and his expression couldn't be maintained: "Guest officers, there are five storytellers in the teahouse every day, and each person can only give so much time a day. Don't you all know that? ?”
Some people were angry: "The usual storyteller didn't see the most critical point in his storytelling, so he let go of it!"
In fact, there are, but such a situation only happens once a day, never twice in a row.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to say to them: "These stories are all from the scripts. If you want to know, you can go to the book store to buy the scripts..."
"If I knew how to read, I would have gone to the scholar exam a long time ago, and I'm still listening to people's stories in your broken teahouse?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help it, so he had to quickly let the third storyteller play.
The others were just unhappy, and it was fine to make a fuss, but when they saw the storyteller on stage, they naturally turned to look at the storyteller.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse breathed a sigh of relief.
The waiter next to him couldn't help but said, "Shopkeeper, if I remember correctly, this third story is also..."
The shopkeeper of the teahouse opened his eyes wide. Thinking of the arrangement of the master, he couldn't sit still. When everyone was not paying attention, he quickly slipped through the back door of the teahouse.
When the third story, like the previous two, came to an abrupt end, the guests in the teahouse couldn't bear it any longer, and all geared up to turn their heads to settle accounts with the shopkeeper.
The waiter looked at a group of angry customers in awe, and said without tears: "The shopkeeper has already left..."
Everyone: "..." Forget it, since the old boy is less courageous than a mouse, they let him go for the time being!
But this kind of thought was kicked out of their minds by the two storytellers after they finished the book——
"Don't let me catch this shopkeeper next time, or I will definitely beat him to the point of crying!"
"If caught by me, I will definitely beat him to the ground!"
"I must..."
A group of people originally had a good time drinking tea in the teahouse, but finally they pretended to be angry and went home. They were curious and uncomfortable about the ending of the story that was not told, and they were naturally dissatisfied with the shopkeeper of Mingxin Teahouse.
When they got home, the family members would naturally ask why, and then they told the truth.
"Aren't the stories told by those storytellers all from the scripts? If you really want to know the ending immediately, why don't you just go to the book shop and buy the scripts?"
"I am illiterate!"
"Isn't the so-and-so next door already in school? Go find him and read to you."
"That brat's mouth is very stupid, how can Liu Yu speak it vividly?"
"You just want to know the ending, whether he read it vividly or not? If you are not satisfied after listening to it, at worst, you can go to the teahouse tomorrow and listen to the storyteller tell it again, wouldn't it be fine?"
"Too……"
"Why don't you go buy it now?"
"...I forgot to ask the shopkeeper who wrote the book and which bookstore sold it."
"..."
"Okay, this book, you better not buy it, and listen to it at the teahouse tomorrow!"
This kind of story didn't just happen in one family, but the people who listened to the book that day were more than a few rough people, and there were naturally some readers who could read.After hearing the story, they went directly to several familiar bookstores to inquire.
But surprisingly, none of the familiar bookstores sold those stories.
There was no other way, these people had no choice but to enter Mingxin Teahouse with two dark circles under their eyes in the early morning of the next day.
Early in the morning, the shopkeeper had to sit in the teahouse, but seeing yesterday's guests entering the teahouse one by one earlier, his heart immediately jumped up and he panicked.
Fortunately, as soon as these people entered the door, they quickly found a place to sit down, and they all sat obediently in their seats and waited for Liu Yu to play.
The shopkeeper was very hesitant, he didn't know if he should leave at this time.
But thinking about today's arrangement, he still bit the bullet and stayed.
After Liu Yu came on stage, he continued with yesterday's story: "The young master was pushed to someone else's yard by the actor, and for some reason, he started to care about her in his heart."
All the people present were men, and they immediately let out a clear laugh.
"The poor man doesn't want him to enter the house. That young master can't force him, otherwise, if people know that he can't even deal with his own woman, what face does he have in front of other friends? After thinking about it, he took advantage of the night and touched Went outside the actor's house, carefully blew smoke into the house to stun people, and then entered the door."
"The actor was lying on the bed and lethargic. When the young man went in and saw it, he felt that the actor's face was like peach blossoms, and he seemed to have the feeling of surprise when he saw the actor for the first time. He couldn't wait to press down on him."
As soon as the words fell, whistles sounded in the lobby of the teahouse, and the laughter in the mouths of the guests became a little more joking.
But Liu Yu changed the subject: "Only early the next morning, people in the house discovered that there were two more skeletons on the actor's bed..."
Everyone: "..." Damn, you took off your pants, and you suddenly took out the scissors, what kind of hatred?
Originally thought it was a little Huangwen stuffed with sauce, but who knew it suddenly turned into a horror story!
That Liu Yu didn't seem to notice the scolding voices that the guests were about to blurt out, and continued to tell the story: "It turned out that the actor committed suicide as early as after entering the mansion. The evil spirits bent over the actor for the purpose of revenge!"
"It's just that the yin energy is insufficient at the beginning, so you can only contact other women. After absorbing enough, the young master will have sex with the actor again, and he will have to be sucked by her to die."
Everyone: "..."
The story is a good story, but this is not the story they want!
When Liu Yu finished speaking, seeing that there was still time left, he said, "This story is called "Actor's Complaint". If you like it, you can buy it at the Lin Family Bookstore."
Others: "..." Don't want to buy it?
"There is still time left, so next, I will tell you another story."
Others: "..." No, we refuse, we don't want to listen to your stories anymore!
"It is said that in the area of Jinling, there is a family who has an only daughter who is very charming and charming. Not only is she good-looking, she is plump, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It broke the threshold of her house."
"It's a pity that the lady's father is a businessman who puts his interests first. He ignored the lady's begging and promised her to the official as a house fill."
"And in the south of Jinling City, there was a talented scholar who had an accidental encounter with this young lady. After that, he fell in love with her deeply. After hearing about it, he ran to the backyard of the young lady's house regardless of etiquette. Climb the wall and enter."
"The two quickly fell in love with each other, but the young lady's father looked down on Xiucai very much. Even though Xiucai had exhausted all his efforts, he didn't get a look..."
"In order to get rid of the fate of being a house fill-in, that young lady eloped with a scholar..."
"Later, the scholar made great progress all the way, passed the Jinshi examination, and was appointed a high official. He was valued by his superiors and betrothed his daughter to the scholar. From then on, the scholar was very happy with his beautiful wife and beautiful family."
"But soon, the scholar's body became weaker and weaker, and finally he was lingering on the sick bed, unable to get up again."
Liu Yu smiled, "I want to hear about the future..."
Everyone immediately made a fuss, rushing to the storytelling table one by one, stopping Liu Yu from leaving.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse couldn't sit still, so he could only come over to maintain order.
Unexpectedly, when those people saw the shopkeeper of the teahouse, they all transferred their anger to the shopkeeper, and their eyes were spitting fire when they looked at him, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Don't be impatient, everyone. You haven't told the ending of those stories you heard yesterday. Are you really going to stop here?" the shopkeeper said bravely, "If that's the case, I will leave Liu Yu alone. Next, let the other storytellers leave."
Others: "..." Dare to be angry but dare not speak!
The ending of one story, and the ending of four stories, everyone knows how to choose.
However, they were also worried that the remaining four storytellers would tell another fresh story like Liu Yu after telling the ending of yesterday's story, and then cut off at a critical place.
If that's the case, they will really beat someone up!
The shopkeeper listened to every guest's threats, and he was unavoidably flustered.But this matter was ordered by the real owner of the teahouse, and he had no other choice but to follow suit.
The second storyteller came on stage and told the ending of yesterday's story: "It turns out that the gardener didn't hesitate to kill his eldest daughter in order to breed peonies with unusual colors."
"The young woman that the owner of the peony saw was the resentment of the gardener's eldest daughter. It was just that at the beginning, she was weak and had no other choice but to have sex with the owner of the peony."
"The gardener's eldest daughter didn't intend to kill the peony owner at first, but later she knew that the reason why the gardener was so persistent in cultivating different-colored peonies was because the owner of the peony heard that a high-ranking official liked peonies. I want to use the fame of the different-colored peony to get in touch with people."
Everyone: "..."
The promised flower demon and female ghost are in love with each other, how about singing every night?The promised beauty loves the scholar, so why not hesitate to elope for him?The promised goblin loves the scholar, and she will not hesitate to break her own cultivation for him, and help him get a title on the gold list?
Forget it, I don't want to talk anymore.
However, even if they want to scold their mothers in their hearts, they still listen to the other stories told by these storytellers, even if they know there are pitfalls.
And the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and every storyteller will remember to advertise the book of Linjiashusi after finishing the book.
This kind of hunger marketing strategy is very useful. After the storytelling in the teahouse was finished that day, the guests rushed to the Lin family bookstore, all of whom bought "Story Collection".
Originally, many people were ready to buy ten story books, but who knew that when they arrived at the Lin Family Bookstore, they were told that all the stories were in the same book, and in this book, there were a total of ten different stories. , but a story of good quality and writing.
Even if you can't read, everyone knows how to settle accounts.
Originally, there was only one story in a storybook, but it was the price to buy it at a bookstore. Now there are four stories in a book. Content, they still make money!
Everyone couldn't wait to buy a copy of "Story Collection", and they didn't feel sorry for the money.
-
The reputation of "Story Collection" gradually spread, and more and more people came to Linjiashudian to buy this book.
Although it is not as good as those teaching supplementary books, compared to other books in Lin Family Bookstore, it is already a very good sales volume.
At this time, the Lin Family Bookstore once again posted a call for essays——
This time, the subject of the essay is Cultivation of Immortals.
For the sake of convenience, Jia Shu even made the Taoist teachings "refining qi to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, practicing spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine Taoism" into grades and posted them directly.
Whether it's the love of immortals, how to cultivate immortals, or even the battle between immortals...all comers are welcome.
Surprisingly, the call for essays this time caught the attention of Emperor Qisheng.
Emperor Qisheng called Lin Ruhai to the upper study room: "The idea of soliciting essays this time is also your wife's idea? How did she think of having someone write a story about cultivating immortals? Do you know that this is disrespectful to Mantian gods and Buddhas?"
Lin Ruhai was a little confused. In his opinion, although there have been corresponding legends about "cultivating immortals" since ancient times, they are completely unbelievable.He couldn't understand at all, why did Emperor Qisheng
