The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Two days later, Hu Yuan indeed brought news about Wang Siyi.

Since I am Brother Hu's friend and I have Mr. Yuanhe, let me be the one responsible for this.

With such a light word, Chen Heng didn't even see the other person, so he took the thousand taels given by Wang Siyi and walked out of Hu Ji's library in a daze.

Chen Heng had a huge sum of money, so Hu Yuan naturally walked him all the way to the entrance of the academy. On the way, he gave Chen Heng an overview of the Wang Family Library.

Unfortunately, Hu Yuan talked too much, and Chen Heng only remembered the two main ones. The Wang family is a large businessman with connections in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. His library is spread all over the coastal provinces.

Chen Heng was already very satisfied with these two items alone. What's more, when the opponent takes action, he is so straightforward.

Brother Hu really knows how to make friends. Chen Heng had to sigh.

Are you trying to put money on yourself? Hu Yuan said with a smile, I know him only because of your Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. You have never been in this business, so you don't know what other booksellers think about him. evaluation of.

Anyway, thanks to you, even people from Bashu know that there is a Hu Ji Library in Yangzhou. With this reputation, I was fortunate enough to have dinner with him several times, and gradually became familiar with him.

Hu Yuan stood at the entrance of the academy and waved goodbye to Chen Heng, I will send you the money tomorrow.

Okay. Chen Heng nodded, Brother Hu is waiting for my news.

After saying goodbye to Hu Yuan, Chen Heng walked quickly to the dormitory without stopping. As soon as he saw Xue Biao, he pulled him out alone. The two of them found a secluded corner in the academy. Chen Heng hurriedly gave him a thousand taels. After being anxious all the way, he finally felt relieved.

After listening to Wang Siyi's story silently, Xue Biao couldn't help but smile and said, He is an interesting person.

Hearing these words, Chen Heng couldn't help but chuckle. Xue Biao is about the same as Wang Siyi. The others only took one thousand taels. This guy wants to get three thousand taels for his few words.

I wrote a letter to my family yesterday. It will take ten days to deliver the five hundred taels.

What else can Xue scorpion say? Thinking that Chen Heng had come up with ideas for himself, worked hard for this matter, and now he had to give up all his belongings. Xue Biao's heart was moved beyond words. I just feel this friendship and don't know how to repay it.

Stop it, stop it. Chen Heng felt something was wrong with Xue Biao's eyes, and quickly raised his hand to interrupt the other person's random thoughts, Don't think too much, you three still have to pay for my Newsletter.

It should be so. Xue Biao nodded seriously. Now he has figured out that whether the newspaper can be sold in the early stage depends on Hengdi's words.

Has Brother Heng decided what to write? Xue Biao has indeed not seen Chen Heng write recently, thinking that the other party will only start writing in the past few days.

Chen Heng sat on the stone bench, and the old man spread his hands. Brother Xue, do you think I am the kind of person who crams for a while? In the past few years, I have written some books and kept them in my book box at home. It’s no use. This time, I’ll bring them all over later.”

Chen Heng was indeed not bragging. In the book box at his home, many books only had the beginning written. But just hearing those famous names is enough to make people imagine.

I just considered that my first book was Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, and I started my career by reading about ghosts, ghosts and monsters. Avoid changing your writing style too quickly, which will make readers unaccustomed to it, and the range of choices available will be relatively limited.

Oh? Hearing Chen Heng use the word some, Xue Biao couldn't help but curious, What kind of storybook did you write?

Chen Heng did not show off, raised his eyebrows, and said confidently: The Legend of Shushan Swordsman.

Xue Biao stood opposite his friend, recalling the title of the book in his mind, and didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

Most of the current story books have twists and turns in their titles, and they like to use some gimmicks to make people open and read. A bright theme like this is really like a sword unsheathed in the night sky, glowing coldly under the moon.

In that case, brother, I will wait for the masterpiece. Xue Biao bowed his hand.

Okay, it's still early. Take the money and go home quickly. Chen Heng shouted to chase people away. Xue Biao was not worried about the safety of the thousand taels of silver, but he would be so anxious that he could not sleep well.

Xue Biao smiled and nodded, and said energetically, After class tomorrow, I will take you to the printing shop.

Chen Heng didn't say anything in reply, he just stood up and saw off the guests.

This night.

Seeing that his brother was rarely home, Xue Baoqin came to his study room overjoyed.

The sister who opened the door and came in put the snacks she brought on the table and called softly: Brother, why did you think of coming back today?

Xue Biao raised his head from the desk. Xue Baoqin was ten years old this year, which is the age when girls start to slowly smoke. His sister's facial features were already bright and majestic, with a round face like a goose egg, almond-shaped eyes like bright moons, and beady lips hidden under the straight and slightly upturned nose.

As a painter whose skills have gradually matured, Xue Biao will pay more attention to the temperament of others when looking at people, objects and scenery. It is different from the immortal energy and spiritual energy of the Lin family sister. His sister was noble and majestic, like the always bright and gentle moon in the sky.

It is a kind of tranquil beauty that makes people feel thrilling but not shocking.

In this beauty, there are three parts charming and innocent, and four parts pure. Of the remaining three points, one part is given to Wen Wan, one part is placed in Dignity, and the last part is hidden in the clouds accompanying the moon.

His sister was really getting more and more beautiful the more she looked at her. Mei Shengjia's face could not help but pop up in Xue Biao's mind, and her originally joyful mood immediately fell to the bottom.

Xue Baoqin looked at her brother's face changing whenever he said it, and said with some humor: What did you think of, brother? Why did your face change so quickly? Didn't my sister ask you why you came home?

The two brothers and sisters have been very close since they were young. Xue Biao is not good at concealing his thoughts in front of Bingxue's smart sister, so he simply said directly: Mei Shengjia.

Xue Baoqin's face also darkened, and she said in a bad mood: Aunt Mei came to the house as a guest today. I heard from Yan'er that she held her mother and talked for a long time. When I came back, I saw her leaving. She still insisted on giving it to me. this……

While talking, Xue Baoqin took out an jade bracelet from his arms and placed it on the table. The little girl held her forehead with a headache, I don't know what my mother said to my aunt. Seeing her so happy makes me feel uncomfortable. Very down to earth.”

Xue Biao furrowed his brows when he heard this. Taking advantage of the absence of the elders, he asked directly: Sister, tell the truth to my brother. What do you think of Mei Shengjia?

Listening to his brother's unkind tone, Xue Baoqin couldn't laugh or cry, Brother, why do you keep calling others by their first names?

He dares to miss my sister, why can't I call him a few times? Xue Biao shook his head angrily. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression became worse and worse.

Um... After all, he was talking to his brother. Xue Baoqin pondered for a moment and was about to speak. Xue Biao had already raised his hand and said, You don't need to say anything, brother already understands what you mean.

Xue Baoqin sighed, I just don't know what mother is thinking.

It's okay, brother will find a way for you. Xue Biao patted his chest confidently, You can tell me what my sister likes first, so he can help you find it.

Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents. Brother, you are not married yet, why are you still thinking about me. Xue Baoqin's face was slightly red, and she looked away shyly.

Xue Biao was a little disapproving. He raised his hand and tapped on the table and explained to Bao Qin, Although my parents usually see a lot of people, when it comes to the people who can marry you, shouldn't my brother meet more people?

Xue Baoqin rolled her eyes and decided not to let her brother continue to struggle with this issue. Instead, she took the initiative and said, Brother didn't even tell me the reason why he went home today.

Xue Biao couldn't help but hesitate in speaking, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment. As this was not enough, he coughed a few times impatiently and said, Good sister, can you lend me some money?

After all, Xue Baoqin didn't expect that he would hear this, and his eyes widened immediately.

The third update is completed, brothers, I am good or not, I am good or not. No one should have waited until now. I hope you all have a good dream and fall asleep under the moon.
