Quickly pass through and refuse to be cannon fodder

In the beginning, Jinlie Cloth Co., Ltd. was operating on a small budget, selling low-to-medium-end fabrics, so it wouldn't make much of a splash in the huge capital city.

The spectators in the capital are not paying attention to Jin Lie Buxing itself, but the man who runs the business, Jing Lie, and the four big dude brothers who hang around the shop, and because of their existence, even if they are jealous of Buxing People who are not willing to reach out to Jin Lie Buxing.

This is on the surface. In private, Jing Lie used the money invested by Li Yan and the others to start manufacturing looms, and recruited soldiers and horses. No, he recruited workers to start weaving by himself. The location was placed in an inconspicuous area surrounded by the city Of course, it is thanks to the names of the four dandy brothers that this wasteland can be obtained, otherwise Jing Lie would have to use some private means to solve it.

The first-generation looms were completely operated manually, and many weavers were recruited. Of course, the looms were much more advanced than those on the market today. For the second-generation looms, Jing Lie planned to use water power to drive up.

Jing Lie's business is booming, and Yuan Jing's first novel has been completed and handed over to Xia Zhou.

Although Xia Zhou was not favored by the servant in the servant's mansion, and was suppressed by his stepmother and ruined his reputation, he was the legitimate son left by his original wife. There are still two shops in the house. Of course, these two shops must not make much money in a year, otherwise his stepmother is willing to spit it out?

There are two shops, one sells groceries, and it only costs a few hundred taels of silver a year. The situation in the small book shop is even worse. The serious scholars in this small book shop don't like to go, and they don't like to talk about the price. There are no good books, and now I can only make a small profit by selling scripts, but I can't attract those masters of scripts, and I have been half-dead.

However, Yuan Jing felt that his situation was better than his own. Although he seemed to have no shortage of food and drink, once the Yongyi Houfu cut off his source of income, he would lose any income. There are two shops supporting it.

Yuan Jing threw the copied "Repaying Gratitude" to Xia Zhou, which made Xia Zhou stunned. Seeing that the author's name was Si Yao, he asked curiously: "Which scholar entrusted this to the Fourth Young Master? Got into the eyes of Fourth Young Master?"

He laughed while talking, because the booklet of eloquent words that he thought he wrote caught Yuan Jing's eyes, and he specially made it for him.

Yuan Jing rolled his eyes: "That's because I was bored, so I found something for myself to do. It's rare for me to do such a thing seriously. You have to give me this newspaper." Enji push it out well, if you can't sell it, see how I will deal with you, brother! By the way, don't tell Li Yan and Zhao Yu, otherwise I will deal with you, brother!"

"Pfft!" Xia Zhou took a sip of tea, "Did Si Shao write it himself? Then I have to read Si Shao's masterpiece quickly."

A novel is condensed and refined, but it still has 10,000+ words. Yuan Jing copied several copies, which could have been printed and sold in installments, but because it was the first novel under the pseudonym Si Yao, Yuan Jing did not intend to whet readers' appetites. , all printed at once.

10,000+ words is not something that can be read in a short time, so Xia Zhou went home with a few not-so-thin text books and read them. The next day, he came to Jinlie Cloth Shop with dark circles under his eyes to look for them. Yuan Jing, if you can find someone right here, if you can't find someone to send a message to Yongyi Hou's mansion, he will come right away.

Yuan Jing was indeed here, and Xia Zhou rushed over when he saw him: "Fourth young master, no, fourth brother, fourth brother is really talented, seeing my brother, I stayed up all night to read the whole book, although it is not the same as those popular outside. The style of the script is quite different, but I couldn’t stop reading it, and I had to hurry to find my brother after I didn’t sleep all night.”

Yuan Jing laughed when he heard it. This is not the style of online novels of the later generations. It focuses on the sense of rhythm. A few chapters have a small orgasm, and a dozen chapters have a big orgasm. It just makes people feel itchy and reluctant. Stop, wanting to read the whole story in one go, otherwise you will see half of it hanging in the air, and you will always think about the situation of the protagonist in the novel when you do everything.

Xia Zhou still said excitedly: "It's really enjoyable to watch the big girls fight wits and courage with others. I didn't know that the storybook novels can be written like this before, but brother, you wrote the ending of Ruan Xiangjun too badly. Well, in fact, I think the prince can take Ruan Xiangjun together."

In other words, the hero of this book is surrounded by three wives and four concubines, so happy, but in Yuan Jing's story of gratitude, there is only a village girl, who wants to be a couple for a lifetime, and everyone, Miss Qianjin, ends up miserable In the end, it is obvious that they can coexist peacefully.

Yuan Jing said with deep meaning: "You don't understand, I wrote this story book not only for men to read, but also for the women in the back house to read, which woman do you think likes men hugging left and right? "

Xia Zhou scratched his head and fell silent. He was the victim of a dispute in the back house, his stepmother was sweet and bitter, and there were several concubines who were also in trouble. , but then his health deteriorated and he could only rest in bed. After a few times, he also figured out the way out of it, and simply broke the jar, but he was alive and kicking, which also made him more and more interested in that family Disappointed, I only hope that one day the family can be separated sooner.

"But fourth brother, younger brother, I can't guarantee that the book of gratitude will be sold. I have never seen such a story about a village girl who finally married into the Hou's mansion."

"That's right, those stories are about a down-and-out scholar who was underappreciated by the government's daughter, secretly funded, and then became the number one scholar in the imperial examination all the way. Not only did the prime minister fancy him and wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, even the emperor wanted to recruit him as his horse." , In the end, I simply married the princess, the daughter of the minister, and the lady of the official family together, and the down-and-out scholar can become a horse, why can't the village girl be the wife of the prince's mansion?"

He didn't blindly belittle the village girl Yang Daniu in the story of repaying gratitude. If he really belittled so much, who would read this story?Men and women would not give a glance, so he endowed Yang Da Niu with some shining qualities, such as running a small business to make money, but was spotted by the rich and wanted to rob her, and then Yang Da Niu and the girl she rescued The lost son teamed up to fight against the rich, and finally won a big victory.

The village girl who traveled through the country did have some qualities that women do not have today, but in the end she also embarked on the road of relying on men, gradually obliterating those unique qualities in herself, and reduced herself to a woman who is no different from other women in the Daning Dynasty , In the backyard, she devoted herself to helping her husband and teaching her children.

Xia Zhou thought it made sense, but he also felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he still did his best to do what Yuan Jing told him to do, even if he stayed up all night without sleep. After finishing this novel, this novel will not be ignored.

Seeing Yuan Jing fooling Xia Zhou away, Jing Lie finally couldn't help laughing.

Now it's still engraving and printing, Yuan Jing didn't think about helping Xia Zhou improve his printing skills for the time being, because the books he sold were not printed by him, they were found in another workshop, and they worked overtime to catch up. Xia Zhou finally changed his pen name after half a month. Wei Siyao's storybook "Repaying Grace" was put in his book shop, and asked the shopkeeper of the book shop to try his best to sell this story book to those old customers.

But half a month later, Repaying Gratitude hadn’t sold a few copies. Those men wanted to read the rich lady, not the humble village girl. Xia Zhou could only go to Yuan Jing to explain the situation, but it couldn’t be sold. This is how to do?

Huh?The fourth brother has lost a lot of weight, looking at it this way, the fourth brother looks much better than before, especially those eyes, which are so magical, just staring at the little girl like this will definitely make the little girl dizzy.

Yuan Jing rubbed his chin and said: "Of course I expected this situation. In this way, you will treat the three of us to dinner. At the dinner table, you will give each of us ten scripts, and let us take them back as gifts. Let's repay the favor first." Word-of-mouth has been built up.”

He felt that this novel would be more liked by women than by men. The first son with amnesia was just a tool man and needed to rely on a village girl to survive.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, fourth brother." Xia Zhou was busy delivering letters to the other two, and arranged to meet and have dinner in a restaurant. As for these expenses, including the printing of books, Yuanjing paid for it himself. Of course he It is impossible for Xia Zhou to cover for him, and Xia Zhou himself does not have much money to spend.

Bu Xing has already made money, plus the money Yuan Jing scooped up from Hou Yong Yi, it is enough for these expenses.

After drinking, Li Yan and Zhao Yu got Xia Zhou's request. As expected, Li Yan and Zhao Yu promised that they would help the brother to finish this matter well. Losing money is not.

Yuan Jing also took ten copies of Repaying Gratitude and went back to Yongyi Hou's mansion. Since Li Yan and Zhao Yu had concealed the author's identity, he had to go through the show to the end. He gave each of the younger sisters in the mansion one Ben, that's five copies. That's right, apart from Zeng Jingshu, the concubine, there are four concubines in the mansion, and the remaining five will be handed over to Chunxiang and the maids. They can't be underestimated, they will are potential users of such novels.

In particular, the heroine was born as a low-level village girl. For the maids in the mansion, it is probably the easiest to substitute into. She fantasizes that she can also meet noble people, and then fight all the way to beat all kinds of monsters and goblins to become a master.

Sure enough, according to Yuan Jing's observation, he found that Zeng Jingmei took the script and threw it aside. She looked down on her cousin Zeng Yuanjing, let alone the script he gave. What script?I don't want to change my mood by looking at it, but those concubines and maids are holding the scriptures and looking at them with relish. Even the illiterate maids surround the big literate maid and listen to her read the content of the script.

When Chunxiang was the first to finish reading, he met the young master who came back from outside. Chunxiang glanced at Yuanjing affectionately and shyly, then lowered his head and ran away, leaving Yuanjing dumbfounded. He belatedly thought, Did I give the wrong signal?
