The phone call with Mr. Zhang Qiuren ended up being heavy without words.

Xu Yanran and Mrs. Zhang are in the living room. The two of them are discussing something recently. They seem to be planning something serious. The relationship between the two has grown closer. It's hard to imagine that these two used to look down on each other. Get along with the enemy like the past.

It's just that when the boy passed by the living room with a heavy expression on his face, the two of them raised their heads to say hello to him. Seeing this expression on his face, the two comforted him one after the other.

Xu Yanran called out to her nephew: "Young court, don't take the comments in the newspaper to heart. Besides, after getting a long comment like Mr. Ye's, other people's comments are just grasshoppers after autumn. As for Shen Baoli's comments, Hmph, blatantly complimenting and sarcasm, I don’t think I’m a Chinese person, and I don’t know why she is jumping out to fight for the limelight.”

Mrs. Zhang said: "I have been playing mahjong with a group of wives these days, and I heard them mention the novel "The Great Dao of Immortal Journey". It is said that their children in school highly recommend it. They commented that this novel is suitable for all ages. You can read and understand, and the writing is very interesting.”

"So now among the wives, the first thing everyone does every morning before eating is to take the Shanghai morning newspaper and read the latest chapter of "The Way of the Great Way." Zhang said with a smile, "If If any of us haven't read this novel, we won't even be able to get in our mouths when we're chatting now."

Xu Shaoting was extremely puzzled.

First, he looked at Xu Yanran: "Miss Shen, what are you doing?"

Second, it is hard to imagine looking at Zhang: "Aunts also think "The Great Dao of Immortals" is very good? This is not some lingering romance novel."

Xu Yanran and Zhang's questioned each other, they looked at each other, and asked in unison in surprise: "Then what are you worrying about?"

Three people and three questions, putting aside the question of Shaoting for the time being, he first looked at the "Literary Review" handed over by Xu Yanran. It turned out that Ms. Shen published an article under the name of Helen Shen about Mr. Ye Zhenzhu's review of "Spring Wind" "Reviews.

Shaoting's reading speed is not slow, and he quickly finished this review. There are about three main ideas.

First, he praised and echoed President Ye’s comments, and then spent a lot of pen and ink, describing in an extremely sad tone the things he suffered as a woman, such as "unfair treatment in terms of age" and "longing to meet someone who can truly respect her and cherish her." man".

The second is that she grew up in London, England, and wrote that all white women are confident and outgoing, and how the culture of white people is different from Chinese culture. In short, she didn't belittle Huaxia, but Xu Shaoting didn't feel very good when she read it. It's just comfortable.

The third is to write a modern poem at the end, with an interpretation of the poem attached.It also mentioned the original text of "The Story of the Spring Breeze" at the end.

Commenting on this novel, "the main idea should be excellent, but there is indeed suspicion of an absurd and bizarre plot in order to attract attention", so "instead, the good intention has lost its true color".

Xu Yanran said rather harshly: "Mr. Ye's comments have sparked a lot of controversy. I don't know how many people bought the two issues of "New Moon" this week, just to read the "Story of Spring Breeze"."

"Helen Shen has always been proud of her title of talented woman. From time to time, she likes to publish small poems and essays, open a cultural salon, and invite some sour male literati to praise her bad feet."

Speaking of this, Xu Yanran showed disgust: "I should have thought of it long ago. President Ye's long comment has sparked heated discussions a few days ago. How could she, Miss Shen, be willing to miss this opportunity for herself to shine?"

"It's just that at the end, I still have to step on the story of "Spring Breeze"..." Xu Yanran looked at her nephew leisurely, "Guess why?"

Xu Shaoting: "Why?"

Literati look down on each other?

Anyway, what Ms. Shen did, wouldn't it be the words "to rub the heat" in future generations?

"I don't know when a rumor spread that Zhixing was a woman, and based on the style of writing, I guessed that she was not very old. She should be innocent and—"

Xu Yanran glanced lightly at her nephew: "A young girl who still has talent."

Xu Shaoting: "..."

It's good that he's a young boy, but who said that about a young girl?I can't stand it!

"Seeing that the reputation of a talented woman is about to change hands, do you think she can swallow this breath?" Xu Yanran covered her mouth and laughed, "A group of male literati still spoke out for her, but it's a pity that an even more powerful author separated the next day. Kong scolded Miss Helen Shen."

Xu Shaoting then received a second newspaper, which was written by an author named Qian Qiu Wan Gu.

Xu Yanran introduced him: "He is a well-known critic. He is never soft-spoken when he scolds the government, and his words are very sharp. He is a straightforward author who does not lie, so he is very respected in the literary circle."

Xu Shaoting looked at the words written by the author with the pseudonym Qianqiuwangu, and felt that the scolding was really impolite:

Hearing Ms. Helen Shen's name earlier, she was also recommended to read two sour poems. The recommender first said that she was a beautiful author, so she thought it was bad, and was afraid that she would not be able to write anything good.However, men throughout the ages are all stinky, women's talents and personalities are just embellishments, and the face is the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning the word "female". Inwardly, it can be tolerated to the point where it doesn't matter.

But maybe I am narrow-minded, and this beautiful author may have both talent and color, who knows that the result after reading it is really amazing-if there is no Helen Shen's admirable appearance, wouldn't the poetry and prose written by this poem be enough to describe it in four words? ?No shit!

Fortunately, the literati circle in Shanghai is not all soft bones. The nonsense Miss Helen is only a little famous, and the reputation of beauty is always greater than the reputation of prose and poetry. It doesn't make me completely disappointed for the Chinese literati.

It’s just that Ms. Helen writes nonsense stuff, but she doesn’t know where she got the courage to comment on Zhixing’s novel "The Story of the Spring Breeze" as absurd and bizarre to attract attention?

Oh, I see, it turns out that what Miss Helen wrote was intentional, I didn't understand the depth of Miss Helen's intention to write articles and poems as nonsense, so as to attract people's attention!

As for your agreement with what Principal Ye said, I don’t think it is necessary. If Principal Ye read your full text, which seems to be a comment, but is actually a newspaper inspiration for recruiting a boyfriend, then it’s over. I was so angry that I jumped off the hospital bed!

---

Seeing the last two paragraphs, Xu Shaoting couldn't hold back, grinning with big white teeth.

How can this Qianqiuwangu be so good at swearing? There is not a single dirty word in the full text.

Just as Xu Shaoting was about to speak, Xu Yanran said, "Now I think of the word Helen, but I can't stop thinking of the word bullshit. Oh my god, you literati are scolding people - it really makes me and other ordinary people bow down." ah!"

"No, it's this one who is amazing." Xu Shaoting shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Referring to his boyfriend, how did he come up with this idea? I just said that Ms. Shen's comment read strangely. It is really annoying to scold like this for thousands of years. Suddenly wake up, isn't it just to recruit a boyfriend again?"

"In the beginning, some people said a few good words for Miss Helen from the air, and they scolded Qianqiuwangu for treating a lady with such a bad mouth. It's really not a gentleman's style." Xu Yanran continued.

"Qianqiu Eternal replied: I never wanted to be a gentleman, but I only wanted to use my pen as a knife to be a general who killed the enemy in the text and shrouded his body in horse leather. If I die with this pen one day, it would be worthwhile to come to this world." Walk around."

Xu Yanran said: "Mr. Qianqiu was rescued from the north to the south. One leg was shot and amputated when he scolded the government because of the port treaty and followed the students on the streets."

Xu Shaoting felt solemn when he heard this, and said silently: "A real warrior."

"That's why a smart person would never stand up for Miss Helen." Xuan Yanran smiled contemptuously. "Helen Shen hid herself behind, and was scolded by Qianqiu Wangu in the newspaper like this. She didn't even dare to let go of a fart. I don't know which ear was moved by her that day, or she took the initiative to invite Ying. Play forward in front of you."

"There is no need to scold again. This matter was about to pass. This Miss Helen's admirer spoke for her in the newspaper. The incident that was supposed to turn over the past has caused another disturbance. This week, various newspapers and magazines in Shanghai have criticized Helen's comment. , there are already twenty or thirty articles scolding her in various published articles."

"It's a coincidence. Miss Helen has completely achieved her goal of showing off."

After hearing what Xu Yanran said, Xu Shaoting understood the cause and effect, and thought in his heart: Ms. Shen really committed suicide.

Think again: I wonder if Ms. Shen will like the consequences of being so prominent?

---

Xu Shaoting didn't feel anything about the "popularity" of the story of "A Great Way to Immortal Journey".Because he is really a nerd and stays at home almost every day, so there is no way to know how the novel "The Great Way" is doing after it is published.

Editor-in-chief He didn't feel it at first, because the Shanghai Morning Post is the newspaper with the largest circulation in Shanghai.

It's just that according to the inside of the editorial department, everyone is scrambling to read the manuscript he brought back. I can only be sure that this novel is at least attractive.

When he really felt that "The Way of the Great Dao" became popular, it started on the third day of serialization, and all kinds of letters sent to Qianfengmingyue were sent to the editorial department like snowflakes. Not to mention he was stunned, even the newspaper office The general manager went to the editorial department and asked him to transcribe ten copies of the subsequent unpublished manuscripts.

"Why are you transcribing so many copies?" Editor-in-Chief He asked at the time.

"I'm going to take a copy and read it myself." The manager of the newspaper said, "The rest... there are always people who can't be offended, people who can't be offended. If they want a manuscript, we dare not refuse to give it."

When I met up with two or three friends on weekends and rest days, someone said, "Old He, the serialized "Da Dao Xian Journey" in your morning paper is really good. Have you already read the later draft?"

So the party turned into surrounding him and asking him to give spoilers. It's good not to ask for manuscripts, but as an editor, Editor-in-Chief He can't break the industry rules.So his mouth was closed like a clam shell, in short, he held on tightly, but refused to tell them the story behind.

After entering the teahouse, I heard the storyteller on the stage say, "Ye Yunqi spat out thick blood, and laughed loudly after a loud bang: I am born with bones that are harder than others. Well, it doesn't matter if you are a cultivator, even if the gods and Buddhas of the heavens let me accept my fate, it will only break my bones every inch of my body, pull my tendons, peel off my skin, and tear my body into pieces Never to be resurrected—”

"Otherwise, what about the three thousand gods and Buddhas in the heavens!"

Editor-in-chief He paused, and the friends around him also listened with gusto, and expressed their feelings: "Qianfengmingyue's writing style is really great, I remember what I said later, if the gods and Buddhas who stand in my way, the gods and Buddhas are also mine." Enemy."

"If it wasn't for my age." Another friend also said, "I would have to shout out too. The writing is really exciting."

Only then did Editor-in-Chief He come up with an idea: This novel has become popular.

And it's a hit!

From Zhang's words, Shaoting learned that the wealthy wives and their children were watching "The Way of the Great Dao", and thought that the results should be good, but he was also very puzzled to think that such a male frequent Do aunts of Wen novels also like to read them?

It was Xu Yanran who answered the question: "In addition to playing mahjong every day, I go out to watch a movie every now and then, and there are always a few old ones that I have read over and over again. If there is a novel that can be understood by all ages, the story has never been seen before. Everyone appreciates you for writing such a novel."

Only then did Xu Shaoting understand that there are too few entertainment items in this era, and reading novels is not one of the easiest ways to kill time.So everyone read some, and they didn’t even pick the subject matter...

As for what Xu Shaoting was worried about, he told Xu Yanran and Mrs. Zhang, and the two ladies made a suggestion.

Xu Yanran said: "If you are really worried about Mr. Ye, you might as well ask Teacher Zhang Qiuren. You can always meet Mr. Ye through him. It is also good to visit her."

Mrs. Zhang also said: "Mr. Ye wrote such a long comment for you, and now she is seriously ill... If she knows it is you, she should also be willing to meet you, I think...she will have a lot to say to you explain."

Mrs. Zhang's words touched Xu Shaoting. He thought for a long time and decided that today is over. If he still thinks about this matter tomorrow, he will call Teacher Zhang Qiuren and ask him to take him to see Principal Ye.

The next day Zhang Qiuren received a call from his student Xu Shaoting, who made a request that surprised him: I want to visit Principal Ye.

Zhang Qiuren said: "Aren't you here to cause trouble? You don't know Principal Ye."

Then he listened to his student who was a little speechless when asked to talk about his impressions after reading "Spring Breeze", and said to him: "Mr. Zhang, I am Zhixing."

"I am the author of "The Story of the Spring Breeze", Zhixing."
