Chapter 1080 A book is hard to find(1/2)

The Wen family's ancestors all ran Wenqu Bookstores for three generations, and Wen Qiming also had various books since he was a child.

To be honest, Wen Qiming has read all the various books sold on the Tang Dynasty market!

Of course, some books were just browsed quickly, while others were serious and read them many times over and over again.

So, Wen Qiming basically just read the beginning and then doubled it to make a judgment.

"Second, it's really wonderful!"

Before he finished reading the first chapter, Wen Qiming was amazed.

He even forgot that he had a gentleman agreement with Tian Jing just now.

With this behavior, even if he wants to cheat, he will feel embarrassed.

"Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's writing style and talent are definitely top-notch, and it is not worse than His Highness's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions". In particular, this book has many similarities with "Dream of Red Mansions". The description of the story is very well-intentioned and the portrayal of the characters is very wonderful."

Although Wen Qiming wanted to finish reading this book in one go, as a shopkeeper, he still has this control.

"I just said that "Jin Ping Mei" is the best book I have ever read in my life. Its writing style is no worse than "Dream of Red Mansions". I even have a feeling that the author of this book is writing styles imitating the writing style of "Dream of Red Mansions". Sometimes it feels like it was written by the same person when I read it.

When it comes to stories, I think the story of this book is more exciting and grand than "Dream of Red Mansions". The most important thing is that I think more people should be able to understand and like this book. This is its biggest advantage. Because this means that more people will buy this book."

Tian Jing was so serious that Wen Qiming looked at him with some admiration.

It was really unexpected that such a rascal was able to say such a thing.

"You just said that this book has not started selling in all the book shops in Chang'an City?"

Since I felt that this matter was a big deal, Wen Qiming naturally had to start thinking seriously.

"That's right! I took a look around all the book shops in Chang'an City yesterday, but I didn't find a one selling "Jin Ping Mei". I bought this book from an acquaintance in Pingkangfang at a high price."

"Give it! This is a hundred stale money! In addition, these two silver coins are considered the money for buying this book! If you can find the lower part of "Jin Ping Mei", I can still buy it from you at a high price, but the premise is that other book shops have not started selling it yet, otherwise it will have no meaning to me."

Wen Qiming would not go to Kyoto Kuroda.

If you dare to criticize him, he will be able to make trouble in your shop and make your business unable to continue.

"No problem! I promise to send the lower part of "Jin Ping Mei" to you before other shops react."

Tian Jing smiled and took the silver coins and silver notes from Wen Qiming.

He had already thought about it and had lived in Pingkangfang during this period.

Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, most of them are a down-and-out scholar in Pingkangfang, otherwise he would not have been able to write such beautiful and literary.

I happened to find the upper part of "Jin Ping Mei" in Pingkangfang, so I naturally cannot miss the lower part.

This is all money!

...

The entertainment life of the Tang Dynasty is really boring.

Even though it was influenced by Li Kuan, the butterfly, the curfew management in Chang'an City was much looser than before, but nightlife was still extremely scarce.

For most people, a good book or an interesting book is so attractive.

When Li Kuan was a child, there was a period of time when he was a child, no matter what book he was, he could read it with relish.

If you encounter people like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you will stay up late and watch it in the quilt with a small flashlight.

The "Jin Ping Mei" that was circulated in Chang'an City in the early days was only 100 copies, which could not meet the needs of the people in Chang'an City.

For those who read books, after seeing a good book, they will definitely be impatient to share it with the people around them.

This has led to more people learning that there is a book like "Jin Ping Mei".

Some people have read it once, but want to read it again.

Or after listening to the introduction of this book, I felt itchy and wanted to read it myself.

This directly led to the fact that the shops in various bookstores in Chang'an City have been asked by countless people every day these days, "My man, do you have "Jin Ping Mei" sold here?"

However, it is obvious that everyone was disappointed.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, today, more than ten customers asked me if there was any "Jin Ping Mei" sold as soon as we entered the door. If we could get a batch of "Jin Ping Mei" in our shop, we might be able to make a lot of money."

In Sanwei Bookstore, when Manager Zheng came back from another place, he came to the bookstore to check the situation. As soon as he stepped into the bookstore, a friend ran over to find him.

He thought something big had happened.

"Jin Ping Mei"? What book is this?"

Obviously, Zhangguin Zheng, who had just returned to Chang'an City, obviously had never heard of this magical book.

"I don't know what kind of book it is, but judging from the inquiries of these customers, it should be a very popular book. But I also secretly went to the Xinhua Bookstore opposite and read it, which was not sold there. I don't know where these people heard that there is such a book."

As soon as the guy finished saying this, another customer walked into Sanwei Bookstore.

"Man, do you have "Jin Ping Mei" for sale here?"

Sure enough, the guest said this again.

At this moment, Manager Zheng was not calm.

Could it be that the book market has undergone any important changes in the past few days after I left Chang'an City?

Or is there another classic masterpiece like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" about to be born?

If this is the case, I must not miss the opportunity this time.

"Mr., where did you hear about this "Jin Ping Mei"?"

Manager Zheng tried his best to make his expression look more sincere, and asked the customer very kindly.

"Pingkangfang, I went there to drink flower wine yesterday. I heard the storyteller there telling a story about "Jin Ping Mei". Then I heard someone discussing the book next to me, so I really wanted to buy it and take a look."

The guest didn't hide anything and directly told him what he knew.

"There is a book shop in Pingkangfang selling "Jin Ping Mei"?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of this! What? Are you not selling it here? Isn't your Sanwei Bookstore the second largest bookstore in Chang'an City? Why don't you even have a copy of "Jin Ping Mei"?"

The customer obviously came to Sanwei Bookstore with anticipation. As a result, when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately guessed that Sanwei Bookstore must not have this book.

"Don't worry, please give us some time, our Sanwei Bookstore will definitely sell "Jin Ping Mei"!"

Manager Zheng has now completely become interested in "Jin Ping Mei".

When the customer left Sanwei Bookstore, Manager Zheng also stayed in the shop, but got on the carriage and headed towards Pingkangfang.

He wants to listen to it himself and see it himself. What's so great about this "Jin Ping Mei".

...

In the Censor Taichung, Yang Benman came to pay for the price in his own Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage as usual.

Linghu Wujiang also squeezed the public carriage day after day, wiped Yang Benman's table clean and soaked the tea.

"Yang Yushi, a strange book has been circulating in the market these days, which is said to be comparable to "Dream of Red Mansions" and has been sought after by many people. But strangely, this book has not been found for sale. I was lucky enough to meet a friend who has this book in his hand. I copied it all night to help you relieve your boredom today!"

Linghu Wujiang handed Yang Benman a handwritten book, looking forward to seeing what Yang Benman would react.

"A strange book comparable to "Dream of Red Mansions"? Who has such a big tone that he dares to say that his book is comparable to "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Yang Benman obviously did not agree with what Linghu Wujiang said, but he still reached out to take the manuscript.

"Jin Ping Mei"? The title of the book is somewhat similar to "Dream of Red Mansions", but I don't believe it if you give a name! Over the years, "Dream of Red Mansions" has been my favorite book. Some people think this book is just a story about the rise and fall of the Jia family, some people think this is a story between a man and many women, and some people think this is just a romance without any meaning, but I don't read it like this.

In my opinion, "Dream of Red Mansions" actually contains a very profound meaning. It exposes the rise and fall of a dynasty, reveals the luxurious life of the upper-class nobles of that dynasty, and also gives many warnings in the book."

While expressing his own opinions, Yang Benman casually read the handwritten copy of "Jin Ping Mei" given to him by Linghu Wujiang...

"Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng? Haha, I don't even dare to leave my name, but I want to be comparable to "Dream of Red Mansions". It's so funny!"

"Yang Jingshi, why don't you take a look first. If it looks good, I will copy it tonight. If it doesn't look good, you can just treat it as a pastime."

Linghu Wujiang stood there a little awkwardly.

Although he did not agree with what Yang Benman said, Yang Benman is now his direct boss. Even if Linghu Wujiang doesn't agree with what Yang Benman said, he will not contradict him in person.

Anyway, he believed that after Yang Benman finished reading this handwritten copy, he would definitely look for him.

By then, the hard work of staying up late to copy books will not be in vain.

Giving such a handwritten copy is definitely more cost-effective than any gift.

Just staying up late at night and speeding is a bit hurtful and physically.

It’s easy to understand that it’s hard to understand, after all, you are staying up late.

If it hurts your body...

When Linghu Wujiang sees the exciting part, he will not help but let his five-fingered girl come out for activities.

Once you count more this time, it will naturally hurt your body.

"You go ahead and go!"

Yang Benman waved his hand, took the manuscript and made it. While drinking tea, he opened the homepage.

"The body of the 28-year-old woman is as soft as a slim body, and she uses a sword to kill the foolish man. Although she cannot see the head fall, she secretly teaches you that the bone marrow is dry."
To be continued...
