Since the day when Danbo Bookstore opened, a book called "Dream of Red Mansions" was born.

This book became a hit in the prosperous capital.

Like a bright new star, it illuminated the sky of Qingguo literature.

For a while, everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about "Dream of Red Mansions".

Whether it was in the teahouses and taverns where elegant literati gathered.

Or in the markets and alleys where ordinary people went in and out.

The name of "Dream of Red Mansions" was heard everywhere.

The paper was full of absurd words and bitter tears.

Everyone said that the author was crazy, but who could understand the meaning?

The scholars held the book in their hands.

Immersed in the delicate words and intricate plots.

Sometimes they sighed for the fate of the characters in the book, the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

Thousands of beauties weep together, how can they not make people sad and sympathetic.

Sometimes, they have heated discussions on the poems and verses in the book.

In vain.

One is the moon in the water, the other is the flower in the mirror.

One sighs in vain, the other worries in vain.

Poem of burying flowers.

You bury flowers today and people laugh at you, who will bury you next year?

When spring is over, the beauty will grow old, and the flowers will fall and people will die without knowing it!

Qingwen Qu.

The clear moon is hard to come by, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse.

The heart is higher than the sky, but the body is lowly.

Flirtatious and clever attracts people's resentment.

Lifelong mistake.

Never forget, the lonely forest in the world.

Sighing for the world, I now believe that there is something missing in the beauty.

Even if they were married, they still felt unhappy.

……

And the women in the boudoirs were also attracted to the Red Mansion.

They sat together and read the beautiful chapters in the book in a low voice.

Or they cried quietly, feeling sad for Lin Daiyu's tragic love.

The characters and emotional entanglements in the Red Mansion became the hottest topic when they gathered with their sisters.

Even in the mansions of officials, the Red Mansion was highly respected.

Officials savored the various aspects of life in the book and pondered the rise and fall of the family mentioned in the book.

……

Once a book has a good reputation.

The publicity does not need to be done by the bookseller himself.

All those who have read it are free promoters.

After opening, Wang Qinian no longer asked the melon seed aunts for help.

After all, in addition to being popular, he also needs to pay some small change.

For Wang Qinian, this expense is of course to be saved as much as possible.

And those scholars who could read the first few chapters for free before.

If they want to continue reading now, they naturally need to spend money to buy it.

Su Yu still occasionally goes to the bookstore these two days.

Every time he goes, there is a long queue at the door of the bookstore.

People can't wait to read this most popular book in Kyoto.

The guys in the bookstore are also very busy because of this.

The guys originally invitedThe plan was not enough.

Wang Qinian hurried to the door of his house and recruited a group of people.

Inside the bookstore, there was not enough space.

Wang Qinian felt that the shop was too small.

But these were not the most important things.

The most important thing was that there were not enough books printed.

He had thought that this book would be a bestseller once it came out.

But he never expected it to be so popular.

However, there is a saying that it hurts and is happy.

These troubles are obviously happy troubles for Wang Qinian.

Su Yu stood outside the bookstore and was too lazy to go in.

Wang Qinian smiled and greeted him at the other end, his mouth was about to crack.

In addition to him, there was also a little fat boy who was also very happy.

This bookstore, after all, has nothing to do with Versace.

But he is very interested in business and opening a store.

The teacher allowed him to participate in it and learn with Wang Qinian.

He was so happy.

Seeing that the bookstore he was also involved in was making more and more money.

He felt a sense of accomplishment just thinking about it.

When he grows up, these experiences will be useful in the future.

And for his thoughts on doing business.

The teacher seemed to support him very much.

Instead of being like other teachers, who only let him study and become an official in the future.

As the saying goes, a journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart.

Versace felt more and more.

Mr. Su is definitely the best and most unique teacher in the world!

It was really right for my mother to let me become Mr. Su's apprentice!

Ruoruo didn't think much of business or opening a shop.

She just looked at the book in everyone's hand, and her mouth corners were secretly raised.

She heard the conversation between Wang Qinian and Mr.

It turned out that this book was written by Mr.

But Mr. didn't admit it, and insisted that it was written by Mr. Cao.

Wang Qinian said again that he had checked and there was no Mr. Cao.

Ask him where Mr. Cao is?

Mr. said that he just got the manuscript from a middleman.

Only the middleman who sold books knew who Mr. Cao was.

When asked about the middleman again, Mr. said that it was inconvenient for that person to reveal his identity.

Naturally, neither Wang Qinian nor herself believed these words.

Ruoruo covered her face and smiled softly. Mr. Cao was really a person who would not make up lies.

At the same time, she sighed a little, the teacher was too low-key.

He was obviously very talented, but he chose to hide his fame.

However, seeing the long queue outside the door and seeing that everyone liked the teacher's books so much.

Ruoruo was very happy in her heart.

Every time she looked up at the teacher, her eyes were full of admiration.

Su Yu looked at the little girl, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, and sometimes looking at him.

He couldn't help but smile.

Although he didn't know what Ruoruo was thinking.

But he didn't make up what he said to Wang Qinian.

It's just that the middleman was only six years old, and his identity and age were indeed very embarrassing.

This was also what Fan Xian had repeatedly begged himself in the letter, asking him not to reveal his information.

Soon, it was lunchtime.

Su Yu took Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Wang Qinian naturally wanted to come and eat.

Old Wang, the meals that were always treated by others were more delicious.

As long as Su Yu came, he would definitely talk to her for a long time.

It would be best if it was until noon, so that he could eat and drink for free again.

Su Yu was somewhat amused by this, but he didn't care and didn't say anything.

However, the little fat man sometimes didn't accept it.

He would ask Wang Qinian why he came again without being polite.

Wang Qinian had long been immune to this question.

He just laughed and never said anything.

The little fat man had no choice but to roll his eyes and leave it at that.

After all, he had been preparing for the opening of the business with Wang Qinian these days.

He also learned a lot, and his relationship with this profiteer became better.

Anyway, he didn't hate this profiteer as much as he did at the beginning.

The food came up quickly, and everyone ate in their own way.

They were all used to Wang Qinian and Versace's feasting.

After eating for a while, the little fat man was almost done.

He stopped and didn't eat too much just to get angry with Wang Qinian.

Su Yu looked up and saw Versace taking out a notebook from his bosom.

He took out the small golden abacus that he had given him.

He bit the brush and was calculating something.

Wang Qinian was a little curious.

He asked what he was doing, but no one answered.

Versace still lowered his head.

He fiddled with the abacus while continuing to write with his other hand.

There was silence in the air.

Ruoruo smiled and answered with her face covered.

"He, once he touched the abacus that the gentleman gave him."

"This guy will be attached to it."

"Forget everything."

"No matter who is talking, no one can hear it."

Wang Qinian looked at Su Yu with some doubt.

"Young Master has this side of him?"

On weekdays, I only see this young master from the Fan Mansion arguing with me about money.

He is often very talkative, even more so than me, and keeps on talking.

I didn't expect him to be so quiet and serious today.

It really surprised him.

Su Yu nodded and smiled, expressing his agreement.

"This young master is so quiet and serious today."The son likes to count."

He knew what Versace was counting.

This was the homework he left for him.

Let him roughly calculate how much the book "Dream of Red Mansions" could sell for.

Wang Qinian said "oh" and nodded.

While eating the rice in the bowl, he continued to look at the young master of the Fan family.

In addition to curiosity, there was a trace of admiration in his eyes.

He learned to count at such a young age?

He can also use an abacus? (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Look at the full momentum and familiar movements!

And how did this young master do it? His fingers were so Flexible?

One hand can write on the book.

The other hand is on the abacus.

Five fat fingers are tapping the abacus beads. []

Genius, genius!

But at this moment, Wang Qinian's heart is not only curious and admiring of this young master Sizhe.

More than that, he is envious!

Why didn't he meet a teacher like Su Yu when he was a child? (bhdh) Not only does he teach those scriptures, but he also teaches arithmetic so attentively.

A three-year-old child can be taught to be so familiar with accounting.

The teacher must have put in a lot of effort.

Of course, he envied The time when the love was strongest.

It was when he looked at the exquisite, small, and sparkling abacus in Versace's hand.

Ruoruo said that this was a gift from Su Yu to Versace.

Abacus!

It's made of gold!

Wang Qinian's eyes lit up and he was stunned.

Looking at Su Yu, he really wanted to ask, will he still accept apprentices? !

If he accepts apprentices, will he be limited by age? !

Su Yu sat at the table, half-supporting his head, quietly watching Versace do the accounting.

He didn't care about Wang Qinian, who had a strange expression on his face and was hesitant to speak.

And Ruoruo lowered her head and quietly flipped through the Red Mansion.

| =|

Just now, the master saw that he was interested, so he asked Wang Qinian to bring a book out from the bookstore.

Ruoruo looked at it carefully, and although there were many words and paragraphs, she couldn't understand the meaning.

At first, she even felt a little sleepy, but gradually she got into it.

And the more she read, the more she was addicted to it.

In her heart, she said, the master is really a strange man, and this book is really well written.

Not long after.

The fat man Versace suddenly stopped writing and stopped moving the abacus in his hand.

He raised his head proudly and raised the corners of his mouth.

Looking at Su Yu with a look of praise, he said loudly.

"Sir, you asked me to calculate the profit of the bookstore."

"It's calculated! ”

Hearing this, Wang Qinian was slightly startled.

Are you actually calculating the bookstore’s profits?

You calculated it so quickly.

Then he continued to look at Versace with curiosity, wanting to hear the answer.

Ruoruo also heardAfter saying this, he folded a corner of the book and closed it.

Then he looked up and looked at Versace politely.

Let's listen to how he did with his homework.

Su Yu smiled slightly and nodded.

"Go ahead."

Versace gestured with his chubby hands, enjoying it.

"At present, the book Red Mansion has published 68 chapters."

"Ten chapters per volume, each volume sells for eight taels of silver."

"There are a total of 640,000 people in Kyoto."

"If we calculate it based on one volume per thousand people, we can sell more than 600 sets."

"In this way, we can sell 35,840 taels of silver."

Wang Qinian nodded in agreement, with admiration in his eyes.

Versace continued.

"These are all the inputs, I have calculated them clearly."

"And the output is the rent on Luodong Road, which is a bit expensive."

"Plus the cost of proofreading and the cost of printing books from Wanjuantang."

"And other books from Wanjuantang."

"After careful calculation, we can get tens of thousands of taels of silver this year."

Wang Qinian was very happy when he heard this, and he was overjoyed!

The curved eyes became two crescents again.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were smiling.

And Versace was the same, very happy.

The two laughed heartily at Versace's account book.

To be frank, they made a fortune and got rich!

I'm afraid everyone in the inn could hear it.

Su Yu and Ruoruo held their foreheads and covered their faces.

How embarrassing.

I was thinking whether I should just leave.

Just pretend I didn't know the two fools in front of me.

Fanszhe looked at Su Yu, frowned again, and said with a smile.

"If you update the chapters after the 68th chapter."

"The number will go up."

Su Yu shook her head and smiled faintly.

This kid is urging me to update.

But if I want to make money, I can start writing letters to Fan Xian.

Anyway, there will be many people urging me in the future.

I might as well write a letter to Fan Xian in advance to urge him.

If he finishes this book.

What else can I write? What biography? What novel?

Ruoruo also turned her head and looked at Su Yu with a smile.

She also thought about asking her husband to update earlier.

The updates now are not enough.

I really want to know what happened next.

Wang Qinian widened his eyes and clapped his hands.

"Young Master, you are a talent!"

At the age of three, he can calculate the account so quickly and clearly.

Prodigy, definitely a prodigy!

After the meal, they talked and laughed again.

Afterwards, Wang Qinian went to the store to take a look and then went back to the Inspection Institute.

Su Yu took RuoRuo and Fan Sizhe returned to the mansion.

When they arrived at the mansion gate, they saw a carriage parked outside.

It was the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion.

Su Yu was a little curious.

Could it be that Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng came?

That shouldn't be the case, as he didn't know Fan Xian yet.

Fan Xian hadn't come to Kyoto yet either.

It couldn't be Prince Jing's, as I heard that he had always been at odds with Si Nan Bo Fan Jian.

Ruo Ruo looked at the puzzled expression on Mr. Su's face.

She smiled slightly and opened her thin lips slightly.

"It must be Princess Roujia who came to see me."

"Princess Roujia?"

Su Yu still tilted his head and continued to ask.

Why did he have no impression of this name?

Ruo Ruo's lips curled slightly and she spoke softly.

"Sir, she is the princess of Prince Jing's mansion."

"She is also one of my best friends."

"She likes your book..."

"The one in the Red Mansion in your bookstore."

As she spoke, Ruoruo coughed twice.

Oh, that was a close call. I almost let it slip.

Sir, I must not know that I already know that he wrote this book.

Since Sir doesn't say it, I'd better pretend that I don't know.

Su Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, nodded and smiled faintly.

"Yeah."

It turns out that Prince Jing actually has a younger sister.

I didn't notice it before.

I only know that when Ruoruo grew up, she had a bunch of best friends.

As for who is who, I don't remember much.

But seeing Ruoruo introducing this best friend so happily, she must be a wonderful person.

Then go meet the young princess of Prince Jing's mansion.

However, if she is Ruoruo's friend, she should not be very old.

However, at such a young age, can she understand and like the Dream of the Red Chamber?

Su Yu thought about it, maybe it was because people around her read it and discussed it.

After being influenced by it, even if she doesn't know the true meaning of it, she may not be unable to understand the story.

But he was thinking that the Dream of the Red Chamber is now popular and its popularity is beyond imagination.

Ordinary people, scholars, boudoir children, and noble ladies in Beijing all love to read it.

He even suspected that someone was secretly fanning the flames.

In fact, there are more than just these people reading the Dream of the Red Chamber.

Even in the palace, some people have been poisoned by it.

That is the second prince, and his mother, Concubine Shu.

At this time, the two of them sat together with books in their hands and read.

It’s just a little strange.

The mother and son were reading quietly but didn’t talk to each other. .
