Taiping Inn

After seeing Ning Qi off, Qin Su walked in. Without asking questions, Li Xuan had already taken the initiative to tell the story. After Qin Su finished listening, he pondered: "Have the Confucians already focused on our Qin family?"

Li Xuandu emphasized: "It is not the Qin family, but a group of Liaodong tyrants led by the Qin family."

Qin Su asked, "What does Confucianism want to do?"

Li Xuandu smiled: "We are the one who maintains the orthodox destiny and the people who live in the country cannot change it, so the tigers in Liaodong cannot enter the pass, they can only stay outside the pass."

Qin Su was not very interested in entering the pass or not, so he just frowned and turned around and talked about the latest book - women are different from men, men prefer major issues in their home and country, even if they are not in their place. , and also give guidance to the country, while women prefer children's love. Even if they are in a high position, it is difficult to avoid the vulgarity. When the empress was in power, she changed the Secretariat to Fengge and the Menxia Province to Luantai, which made the two central government offices no longer cold and majestic, but instead had a bit of fairy spirit, which shows how different women and men were.

Qin Su first recited a half-text and half-white text: "The humble room and empty hall were filled with scepters back then; the decayed grass and withered poplars were used as a singing and dancing venue. Spider silks were tied up with carved beams, and green gauze was now pasted on the bulging windows. . What do you say is that the fat is strong and the powder is fragrant? How do you turn frost on your temples again? Yesterday, I sent white bones to the loess and ridges to bed in the red lanterns tonight..." (Note 1)

Li Xuandu didn't think it was because of his affection. He just thought it was his children's longing for love. After listening to a few words, a serious look appeared on his face and he began to listen carefully.

"...The box is full of gold and silver, and the beggars are slandering. They are just lamenting that others don't live long, but they know that they are mourning when they return! They are good at teaching, and they may be strong in the future. If you choose a good fortune, who will hope to be wandering in the fireworks alley! Because I think the gauze hat is small, it causes the shackles. I feel sorry for the coldness of the torn jacket yesterday. Now I think the purple python is long: You just finished singing and I will appear, but I will admit that the foreign land is my hometown. It is very ridiculous. In the end, I will make wedding clothes for others!” (Note 2)

After Qin Su finished reciting, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Who... did this?"

Qin Su smiled and asked, "Don't you know "Fengyue Baojian"?"

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Is it a new word book? I have no time to read the word book these days. There is only the "Taiping Qingling Jing" in my eyes and mind, but these words are a bit interesting, really It tells all about the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world."

Qin Su took out a manuscript and said softly: "This is written by a broken-down child in the imperial capital. It is said that this man's ancestors worked in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau for three generations. When Zhang Xiangye implemented the new policy, his family was punished for deficits. The house was confiscated and never recovered from then on, and it became increasingly declining. After he moved back to the old house of Emperor Beijing with his family, he made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings and friends. It took more than six years to write this book, but it was still the first draft and never published it in large quantities. Sell, I asked a friend from Dijing Bookstore to find a handwritten manuscript for me."

Li Xuandu had the ability to see ten lines at a glance since he was a child. He took the manuscript from Qin Su, quickly swept dozens of pages, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Books are good books. If you like them, you might as well build a bookstore yourself and publish them directly. ”

Qin Su was stunned. She was a book writer, but she never thought of building a bookstore directly based on her identity. When she heard Li Xuandu’s proposal, she was stunned and said, “This is just the first draft.”

Li Xuandu returned the manuscript in his hand to Qin Su: "It doesn't matter whether the first draft is or not. The key is that the book is good and there are many people reading it. Then our bookstore can use this to make us famous. If we want to say something to the world in the future When people listen, they can use the bookstore to make a sound."

Qin Su is not a stupid person. He just thought about it for a moment and understood Li Xuandu's intention and said, "You are trying to seize the power of speaking from the scholars of the Wanxiang Academy."

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "It's different. The scholars in the Wanxiang Academy speak to officials, famous scholars, and wealthy businessmen, but we can be lower and speak to ordinary people and gentry."

Qin Su said in a little puzzled manner: "Does it work?"

Li Xuan just made a temporary idea, but he didn't know whether it worked or not. He could only say, "There is a saying that if you have dates or not, it's better to do it than not."

Qin Su said, "But most of the people are illiterate."

Li Xuandu said: "Then find a storyteller. And not only this book, but also the books of gods, demons, heroes of green forests, and talented men and beautiful women should be published together to lose money and gain publicity. What you want is fame, as long as you have it After the truth, if we want to say anything, someone will definitely listen to it and believe it."

Qin Su was moved and said, "It's not impossible to set up a bookstore. What should I do?"

Li Xuandu said: "We don't know how to do business, so we can find people who know the industry to do it. As for the capital, we will bear the responsibility. You pay 60% to become a big boss, and I pay 40% to be a small boss."

Qin Su is not short of money, and even if she is asked to pay by herself, she glanced at Li Xuandu and asked, "When did you have money?"

Li Xuandu said: "As the sect leader of Taiping Sect, according to the rules, you can call on the money and goods of Taiping Sect. In addition, the sect leader also has a special silver every year, which is private silver."

Qin Su asked curiously: "How many?"

Li Xuan stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand taels of silver?" Qin Su guessed.

Li Xuandu shook his head: "It's ten thousand Taiping money."

Qin Su was shocked: "I am worthy of being the Taiping Sect, who is the best at doing business."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "How can I compare to you, Miss Qin? So I'll be the little boss."

If it were an ordinary person who came to open a bookstore, he would have to think about it again and again and then prepare carefully. But after he had the identities of Li Xuandu and Qin Su, he could make a decision in just a few words, just like a child's play, which made people sigh. The benefit of the position.

Qin Su and Li Xuan both discussed: "What's the name of this bookstore?"

Li Xuan didn't even think about it and said, "Of course it's called Taiping Bookstore."

Qin Su smiled and said, "We call Taiping Inn, it's already eye-catching. Are you afraid that others won't know what the bookstore has to do with Taiping Sect?"

Li Xuan thought about it and suggested, "That's called Qingping Bookstore?"

Qin Su vetoed: "If you call this name, I'm afraid that the allies of the Qingping Society can guess that it was our work."

Li Xuandu said, "Then you want one."

Qin Su thought carefully for a moment and said, "It's better to modify the word 'Qingping' and use it as a homophonic word, which is called 'Qingping', green green, and 'ping' that meet by chance."

Li Xuandu thought for a moment and nodded, "Excellent, that's called Qingping Bookstore."

The two agreed on some other details and decided to place the general account of Qingping Bookstore in Jinling Mansion. In addition to the "Fengyue Baojian", the first edition also included "Travels of the North" and "Dangkoo". Four great books, including "Animals", "Anemone", and "Romance of the Yellow Turban", are mainly based on these stories. At the same time, Qin Su also plans to take this opportunity to publish a few copies of his own books, not seeking to make money, but just keep it as a memorial to him. think.

Speaking of this, Qin Su suddenly remembered something and joked: "Where is your imperial masterpiece "The Legend of Taiping Inn"? Should you write it out quickly? It will be published as soon as possible."

Li Xuandu coughed lightly: "My writing book is different from you ordinary people. It has no trace or written words, so let's see how to do it."

Qin Su stretched out her fingers and shaved her cheeks: "You are still panting when you say you are fat. You are so shameless."

Li Xuandu said: "The most wonderful story in the world is not in the home, but in that history, all things that have actually happened, which are even more bizarre than that."

Qin Su smiled and said, "In our industry, some people will write two books at the same time due to their livelihood. Even better, I can't learn how to write three books at the same time. But according to your words, In addition to writing a book called "Legend of Taiping Inn", you also wrote "Legend of Qingpinghui" and "Legend of Taiping Sect". Now you have to add one more book called "Legend of Qingping Bookstore", which is considered to have written four books at the same time. By the way, you also wrote a "Biography of Li Xuandu", which is five books. In this regard, I'm afraid no one can compare to you, you are the real great writer."

Li Xuandu pretended to be calm and said, "I am a great literary master and a great master. This is probably a matter of both civil and military affairs."

Qin Su asked, "What am I?"

Li Xuan looked at her and pondered for a moment, saying, "You are the housekeeper, you must manage Taiping Inn, Qingping Club, and Qingping Bookstore."

Qin Su fisted and was about to hit.

Li Xuandu changed his words and said, "You are not as good as a man, you are done."

Qin Su shook his delicate fist in front of Li Xuandu, as if asking whether Li Xuandu was convinced or not.

Li Xuan had no choice but to say, "I am convinced, and I am convinced, but I am convinced if I don't."
