Chapter 2513 Negotiate

The three of them rarely go shopping on non-holidays and holidays. Mainly, they didn't live in the palace before, and there was no such thing as going to school, that is, there were still a lot of things to do after school and the government office, and they were still working overtime. , did not have time to go out at all.

Imperial Physician Lu and Imperial Physician Liu are still locked in Huangzhuang, and there are not many things about Manbao. Usually, he handles official business at the Taiyuan Hospital in the morning, and occasionally takes orders to see a doctor, and in the afternoon, he goes to Chongwen Museum to repair books, so she is now off I can play later.

Bai Shan's time is more flexible. The Hanlin Academy is busy even if he is busy, or not busy if he is not busy.

The three of them had eaten outside, looked around and decided to stroll to the bookstore leisurely.

Bai Erlang and the others have a shop they know each other very well. The owner of the bookstore at the entrance recognized them and greeted them with a smile, "It turned out to be the second son of Bai, oh, and Bai Hanlin and Lord Zhou, please come in. ."

The owner smiled and asked, "What do you three want to buy? We have a new Duan inkstone here."

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Is there a new book recently?"

Dong Jia asked with a smile, "I don't know what book Bai Hanlin is talking about. There is one book of travel notes, and two of the anthologies, but none of them are from the lords of the dynasty. You know, the lords of the dynasty. The collections are all published by the Yamen’s bookstore first, so it’s not bad if we bookstores can get the soup, but there are quite a few books, but…”

He looked at Erlang Bai and sighed, "However, it's still too different from what Ergong Bai wrote. Now the best seller in my bookstore is the biography of Master Xiang written by Ergong Bai."

After so many years, Bai Erlang's book is still the best seller, which shows how popular this book is.

Of course, there is a reason why it has been on the bestseller list. First of all, the cultural level of the people who wrote it is not low. Bai Erlang was a student of Guozijian at that time. There are also Bai Shan and Zhou Man on the side to make plans;

Secondly, this is a biographical novel with a true story as the background. Xiang Mingxue is real, and the King of Yizhou is famous throughout the country. It not only involves the revolt of the poor, but also the elements of rebellion and hatred of the family and the country. Not to mention these scholars, even the people of the market have no resistance to such stories;

Finally, it also artistically handles real stories. Otherwise, Xiang Mingxue wouldn't read a book and read it as someone else's story, because what he wrote was half-truth and half-false. The fake one was especially exciting.

Beijing is a big city, and new people come here every year, and quite a few of them are students studying abroad or coming to the imperial examinations, so this book is very popular, no matter how new it is, it can’t keep up with it.

There are also people who fabricated a character according to Xiang Mingxue on a whim. There are also blood and deep hatreds, and there are all kinds of strange and finally revenge.

The sales were not bad, but still not as good as this biography.

The bookstore owner felt that the root cause was the first and second reasons. The book was written by a literate person like Bai Erlang, and the story was real.

He really wanted Bai Erlang to continue writing, "I heard that Young Master Xiang has also achieved success in business now. Why don't Young Master Bai write about Young Master Xiang's encouragement to do business?"

Bai Erlang: "...I can't keep catching a person for wool, right? No, no."

Bai Shan asked him, "Are you free to write a storybook now?"

Bai Erlang was still a little itchy. He heard the words and said, "I have already passed the jinshi examination. I will pass the examination for the Ministry of Personnel next year. I think it should not be difficult for me to pass the examination."

At that time, he was already married to Ming, and he was the son-in-law of the emperor anyway.

Bai Shan said: "If you are too bad in the test, won't you lose the emperor and Mingda's face?"

Bai Erlang couldn't help but tighten his heart, "It makes sense, then I'll continue to read books recently."

After the Jinshi exam, he relaxed a lot. If he could write, he would never do his homework. If he could read, he would never write. He was very perfunctory, but it was very strange. Sex suffocates a big trick.

Bai Erlang shivered, and immediately said, "When I go back, I will take out the books you read in the official examination, but I am still itchy and want to write a storybook."

He said, "If I also enter the Hanlin Academy, do you think I can study history books, interpret scriptures, or study almanacs and agricultural books?"

Bai Shan was silent.

Bai Erlang said: "Look, look, do you think I can't do these things? At that time, it must be for the Hanlins to find information. It's boring to think about it, so it's better to write a script and pass it off when you're bored. time."

The owner's eyes gleamed, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, these words are meant to pass the time, the person who wrote it is passing the time, and the person who reads it is also passing the time. Is it convenient for you to study in 2010? You could still write better in a ten-day period when you were so busy."

Bai Erlang got excited and became more confident. He discussed with Bai Shanzhouman, "Do you think I made up a story by myself, or something else?"

Man Bao said: "Our lives are very peaceful, what can we write about? Well, let's write the story of going west all the way last year."

Man Bao regained his energy and said, "Isn't this the most splendid business? We fought wars and brought back the recipe for cowpox."

Bai Shan also nodded, "This is not bad. We can start writing from the smallpox in Xiazhou. Well, we were ordered to go to Xiazhou to treat smallpox, and then we went to the Western Regions to find the recipe."

The owner on the side lit up and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, just write this, just write this."

At that time, he put up a sign, how the world-famous goddess doctor found the recipe for cowpox; how Bai Jinshi defeated the enemy and captured the city, and finally the emperor's grace was so powerful that he became a viscount...

The owner excitedly said to Bai Erlang: "If Second Young Master Bai can write it down, then I will still share the account with you fifty-fifty."

"That won't work," Bai Erlang said before Bai Shan took over, "Bai Er of today is no longer the Bai Er of the past, and the identity of writing and writing is different, not to mention the few of us who wrote this time. Naturally, it can no longer be divided according to the previous points."

So the three people who originally came to visit the bookstore went to bargain with the bookstore owner, and finally got back a contract signed by both parties.

The three Bai Shan were refreshed and in a happy mood, and it was another income. It was good to have money.

The three Zhou Lixue, who brought the copied book to hand in the task, witnessed the whole process at the door and were stunned.

Man Bao turned around to see them and greeted them casually, "Come and hand in the book, hand it in, hand it in, we'll be waiting for you, and we'll go home together later."

The three silently stepped forward and handed over the copied book to the owner.

The owner flipped through it, and after there were no particularly obvious mistakes, they took out 60 wen to distribute it to them, 20 wen per person, which was the price of copying a book.

The owner smiled and said to them, "What book are you going to choose next?"

The three said bitterly: "It's still "Warring States Policy. Eastern Zhou Policy"."

See you tomorrow
