Qin family.

"Your Madam, Second Master, our sales are very popular. On the first day, we sold nearly a thousand copies. When the reputation fermented later, we may exceed 100,000 copies!"

Wu Cheng, the chief manager of Qin's Bookstore, stood in the hall of the Qin family and reported the situation to Qin Shangran and Qin Shangjian.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shangjian breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Okay! Great! Breakthrough of 100,000 volumes, that is the profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Our Qin family's urgent needs will be alleviated!"

Qin Shangran smiled slightly and said, "This is just the beginning. When the marriage with the Qin family is successful, the Qin Family Bookstore will inevitably become the largest bookstore in Yangzhou. In addition to the power of the Wang family, the entire Yangzhou market will be ours."

He has already seen it for a long time! Qin Shangjian nodded and said, "We have to persuade Xue Ning well. She seems to be very sneering..." Qin Shangran sneered and said, "Don't worry, Gao Zhili takes action. Li Fan, an ant, will be directly killed, and there is no chance to make waves!"

Very proud and didn't take Li Fan seriously.

"At this stage, let's wait for the bookstore to count the money..." He smiled.

...Night is coming.

"Oh my God, who did this "Stone"?

Cao Xueqin?

Why have I never heard of this person's name?"

Yangzhou Bookstore, an old white-haired scholar, holding a book, was filled with emotion and hated: "Why isn't such a book published in my Yangzhou Bookstore?"

He is the chief reviewer of Yangzhou Bookstore. He was also when he passed by, and was attracted by the poems mentioned by the book sellers. He felt it was really exquisite and could not help but buy a book to read. As a result, he became addicted to it! Wonderful, so wonderful! The words that were full of fragrance, the words that were so fragrant that they could see through the depth of the world, the words that were infatuated with the entanglement of ethics and transcendence... can be regarded as a masterpiece that is unparalleled! "Come here, prepare the car immediately. I want to read this book with Brother Wugen, Brother Qi Cai and others!"

The old man spoke immediately.

In a restaurant, several Confucian scholars were gathering, but they had no intention of eating and drinking, and each of them had a book called "The Story of the Stone" and discussed it endlessly.

"My dear brothers, this "Stone Story" is really a treasure. Although Jia Baoyu and Qin Keqing are suspected of being accomplice, they have profound meanings. It is really 'every word is bloody'!"

"Yes, the stone is transformed and a bit infatuated. In this book, there are all strange women. Everyone, you can see the profound meaning of "Thousands of reds are one cave, thousands of beautiful women are the same cup". I am afraid that Keqing and others will end tragically!"

"Oh, it must be written by a master who has seen through the world. We have been here in Yangzhou for many years, but we didn't know this Cao Gong..."... A book called "The Stone" instantly fermented throughout Yangzhou City. Anyone who saw this book at first sight was fascinated and hurriedly asked people around him to share it.

For truly talented people, of course, they can understand the meaning of it, but instead become more and more immersed in it.

Many people bought books with the gimmick of "uncle and sister-in-law's incest". After getting them, although it is difficult to understand the deep taste, they also read them with relish.

"Keqing... is really the beauty in my dreams. Well, it's comfortable, it's comfortable..." In the middle of the night, a middle-aged Confucian scholar holding a book "The Story of Stones" in a study room, his eyes were blurred. After a while, his face showed a boring expression, but he was reluctant to put the book down... At the same time, Manmo Study.

Lu Changan had already worked hard at full speed, and all the workers stayed up all night, worked overtime, and were printing! Because, after the book was written, he couldn't help but read it once, and was completely fascinated.

He wanted to ask Li Fan for the one who came later.

After all, this is only the first twenty-five chapters, which is too unsatisfactory! It was also because of this that he realized that Li Fan's novel would definitely be very popular. Whether it is the upper class celebrities or the lower class people, they will be attracted! "Hurry up, print 5,000 copies!"

He was full of energy!…The next day, the sunlight rose normally.

Many young book children arrived at Manmo Study School on time to "wholesale" books.

However, next, they had just published the Imperial Street, and before they could go to Central Street, they were stopped by many people to buy it! "Little Book Boy, come here, I want three volumes!"

"Give me two books, my master will ask for it!"

"Give it to me. My young master stayed at his friend's mansion all night yesterday. Just to read this book, if I can't buy it, I will be broken by my legs..." Shopping! Hot! Those little book children were extremely happy, they didn't expect that they would sell so easily!... Yangzhou Academy.

"Brother Yushan! Brother Yushan!"

Deputy Director Lian Ruhai, holding his tall Confucian Guan with one hand and a book with the other, hurriedly ran over. Before he could enter Yang Buchan's books, he was already shouting loudly.

In the room, Yang Buchan, the director of Yangzhou Academy who had just finished writing a poem, breathed a sigh of relief. He heard a quick sound outside. He stepped forward and opened the door, but almost collided with Lian Ruhai.

"Brother Ruhai, what happened?

Why are you so anxious?”

Yang Buchan hurriedly spoke. Lian Ruhai had always been calm, which was probably a great thing, which made him so anxious.

Lian Ruhai handed out the book in his hand, and was out of breath and said, "Brother Yushan... look, look..." Hearing this, Yang Buchan was full of suspicion. He took the book "Stone Story" and glanced at it. Seeing the three big words "Stone Story" written on the cover, he opened it.

"Um?"

Who is Yang Buchan?

He was a Jinshi and the director of Yangzhou Academy. His talent and knowledge were absolutely extraordinary. At this moment, his pupils had shrunk just by just a glance! "This...'Sadness and joy are all the same as the illusion, and the dreams of ancient and modern times are ridiculous.

The red sleeves are crying heavily, and the love and regret are even more infatuated.

Every word seems to be blood, and ten years of hard work are unusual.

’These few sentences are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!”

He said three wonderful words in a row! It was written so well! His eyes stopped at this first straight-forward poem and read it several times! "Brother Yushan, please look down, please look down!"

Lian Ruhai seemed to have expected Yang Buchan's reaction, so he stood aside at this moment, wishing Yang Buchan finished reading immediately and discussed with him.

Yang Buchan then sat down, holding a book called "Stone", and was extremely devoted to reading it! After a long time, Yang Buchan finished reading the book, but raised his eyes and said anxiously: "What else is there?

What's behind?"

He was eager to read the following content! "It's gone."

Lian Ruhai was helpless and said, "I have already inquired about this book, and I have published the first twenty-five chapters at this time!"

Yang Buchan stood up, but he wandered back and forth several times. Suddenly he turned around and tore up the poem he had just written on his desk! "Brother Yushan, you are..." Lian Ruhai spoke in surprise. Yang Buchan has always cherished his poems, why... "Hey, in my mind at this moment, there are all the poems in "The Story of Stone". My clumsy work is too pretentious. In front of those poems, it is simply inferior to dirt!"

Yang Buchan showed an intoxicated look on his face and said, "The profound insight, the clarity of perception, the wonderful writing of the pen, and the extraordinary poetry are really rare in the world, and there are few in the world!"

Lian Ruhai also felt the same way and nodded deeply: "It's a pity that we have been in Yangzhou for so many years, but we don't know this Cao Gong!"

"Although he wrote a very inexperienced novel, his talent is really admirable!"

He praised it strongly! Yang Buchan shook his head and said, "The novel is not as good as it is because it has always lacked elegant works and is too vulgar! But this book "The Story of the Stone" can definitely increase the pattern of the entire novel by relying on its own strength and enter the room!"

Hearing this, Lian Ruhai was surprised. He knew that "The Stone Story" was well written, but he didn't expect that Yang Buchan would give such a high evaluation! Uncommon, too extraordinary! This means that the appearance of this book "The Stone Story" is very likely to lead to a huge change in the entire Daxi Chinese literary world... "Brother Ruhai, we have to look for it immediately and we must find this Cao Gong. I will definitely admire this manuscript at this moment and I wish I could find him immediately!"

Yang Buchan spoke with longing and expectant expression.

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme! Let's go together!"

Lian Ruhai also agreed.

Yang Buchan nodded and said, "Let's follow the map and go to the bookstore that publishes the "Stone Story" first. You will know it once you ask..." As he said that, he turned to the homepage and saw the name of the study, but was surprised.

"Manmo Study?"

He was stunned.

Lian Ruhai said: "Brother Yushan, what's wrong?"

Yang Buchan frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ruhai, do you still remember which bookstore published the "Encouragement of Learning" that was famous in Yangzhou and alarmed the emperor?"
Chapter completed!
