But it was said that Xu Xiaolangjun successfully persuaded his father to buy a street shop.

This shop is located in a very good location, so it is located on the east side of Chengxian Street. It can be said to be the core area of ​​Dinghai County.

The most commendable thing is that this shop also has a large backyard, which just meets the model of front shop and back factory.

Xu Xiaolangjun named him "Miaofengtang".

Since you want to build a bookstore, of course, you must first examine the business scope of your peers.

After Xu Yan's observation, it was found that there were roughly six types of books operated by bookstores during the Jiajing period.

One is the complete book, such as "The Thirteen Classics Notes"; the second is the essential book, such as "The Four Books Collection" and "The Five Classics Collection" and other reference books for imperial examinations; the third is the book that is a world-class book, which briefly talks about the current affairs; the fourth is the book that is repeated, which is basically a collection of old words; the fifth is the book that benefits people, namely professional books such as medicine and agriculture; the sixth is the book that is useless.

The first two of these six major categories are mainstream, but the best one is the sixth useless book.

What is a useless book? Novels and miscellaneous notes can be classified into this category.

From this point of view, the "Journey to the West" that Xu Yan wants to write is naturally a useless book.

Although it is "useless", it is interesting. Xu Yan is still very confident about these two masterpieces.

Of course, you have to eat food in one bite, and you have to write books in one chapter.

Not anxious, not anxious...

On the first day of Miaofeng Hall opening, basically no one came.

This is not surprising. Bookstores generally have their own fixed customer base, and many of them are repeat customers.

If Xu Yan wants to seize food from a tiger's mouth, he naturally needs to think of more ways.

Promotion is definitely the first priority. After thinking about it, he decided to make the first chapter of Journey to the West separately into a brochure and distribute it for free in Dinghai County.

There are some people in the Xu Mansion, but it only takes a day's time.

"The poem says: The chaos has not been divided into chaos in the world, and no one sees the vastness. Since Pangu broke the Hongmeng, he has developed the distinction between the clear and the turbidity.

The people who follow the benevolence and discover that all things will become good. If you want to know that the creation will bring about the essence of the original power, you must read the explanation of the misfortune when Journey to the West.

Reflecting on Pangu's development, the Three Emperors ruled the world, and the Five Emperors settled the Lun. The world was divided into four continents: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanzhanbuzhou, and Beijuluzhou. This book lists Dongsheng Shenzhou. There is a land overseas, called Aolai Kingdom. The country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, called Huaguo Mountain. This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents, and the origin of the three islands stands out from the clear and turbidity, and is formed after Hongmeng's judgment. It is such a good mountain! There is a proof of the poem and Fu, and it says:

The vast ocean is in the vast ocean, the tide is in the vast ocean, the tide is in the silver mountain, the fish enter the cave; the wavy is in the Yao sea, the waves are overturned by snow waves and mirages are gone. The water and fire are in the corners of the earth, and the East China Sea is in the top. The strange rocks of the Dan Cliff are cut into the walls. The colorful phoenixes crow on the Dan Cliff; in front of the wall, the unicorns lie alone. When the peak is at the top, the dragons are watching the dragons enter and exit. There are long-lasting deer and fairy foxes in the forest, and there are spiritual birds and cranes on the trees. The strange flowers of the Yao grass do not fade, and the green pines and cypresses are in the spring. Fairy peaches often bear fruit, and the bamboos always leave clouds. A stream and valley are dense vines, and the grass on the four sides are fresh in the grass. It is the Optimus Prime where all rivers meet, and the roots of the earth are not moved for thousands of kalpas.

On the top of the mountain, there is an immortal stone. Its stone is three twelve feet and five inches high, two twelve feet round. Three twelve feet and five inches high, three twelve feet and five inches high, three twelve feet and three twelve feet round. Two twelve feet round, two twelve feet round, according to the twenty-four qi of the political calendar. There are nine orifices and eight holes on the top, and the nine palaces and eight trigrams. There is no shade on all sides, and there are lingering orchids on the left and right. Since its opening, it has been felt by the natural beauty of the earth, and the moon is bright, and after a long time of feeling, it has become a spiritual sense. It raises immortals. One day it bursts and a stone egg is produced, which is as big as a ball. Because of the wind, it turns into a stone monkey."

Xu Yan is still very satisfied with the beginning of this article. He is literary and suspenseful, which can easily arouse people's interest.

At the end of the booklet, I also wrote about what I wanted to know about the next episode, and I went to Miaofeng Hall to take a look.

I believe that after reading this first chapter, the people in the city will rush to Miaofeng Hall.

......

Pressing these and not saying that Chen Maoli went to Shaoxing for study shortly after returning to Cixi County.

During his study tour, he participated in many elegant collections of literati, and during which he mentioned several peerless poems written by Xu Yan in Ningbo City.

For a time, Xu Yan became famous and his poems were widely spread among the Shaoxing Shilin.

Shaoxing people pay the most attention to literary talent, and genius boys like Xu Yan are naturally highly praised.

Among Xu Yan's many admirers is a scholar from Shanyin County, Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wei came from a declining official family in Shanyin County. Although he passed the scholar at the age of 20, he failed to pass the imperial examinations in the following two provincial examinations. What's even more tragic is that when he was 25 years old, his family property was occupied by all the gentry and bullies, and his house and land were gone. The following year, his wife Pan died of illness.

His family was destroyed and his family was defeated, and he failed the imperial examination. At this point, Xu Wei was already desperate about life and did not want to continue to stay in this place that made him sad.

He urgently needs a change of environment and start from scratch!

At this time, he met Chen Maoli. Xu Wei learned about Xu Yan from Chen Maoli's mouth and admired Xu Yan's talent very much.

Seeing that Xu Wei was in a difficult life, Chen Maoli recommended Xu Wei to Dinghai County to join Xu Yan.

After all, Xu Yan is righteous and generous, which leaves a very good impression on Chen Maoli.

Xu Wei decided to give it a try after weighing it.

Anyway, there were no people or things that he had nostalgic for in Shaoxing, so he left.

So the 26-year-old Xu Wei packed his bag and left his hometown, and went to Ningbo alone.

......

......

"Put the water and place it on the flat ground, each flowing east, west, south and north.

Life also has fate, how can you walk and sigh and sit and feel sad?

Drinking wine will make you feel better, and raising a glass to stop singing is difficult.

Isn’t my heart not like wood and stone? I dare not speak out when I swallow my voice.”

Xu Wei handed the last money to the coachman and jumped out of the carriage with a package on his back.

Looking at the gate of Dinghai County, he looked sad.

After being inspected as usual, Xu Wei went to search according to the address left by Chen Maoli for him, and came to the gate of Xu Mansion without much effort.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Wei mustered up the courage to come forward and knock on the door.

Soon the door opened and the Xu Mansion Gate walked out.

Xu Wei took out the famous post he had prepared long ago and presented it with both hands.

"Xu Wenchang, a scholar in Shanyin County, was recommended by Chen Luqing, a friend of Cixi, and asked to meet the prince of the noble family."

He had already thought about staying anyway, so he lowered his posture.

Since there is no hope for the imperial examination, you have to think of a way to make a living. Being an aide is the best choice.

The concierge received the famous post and did not say anything, but closed the door.

Except for waiting, Xu Wei had no choice but to close his eyes and cultivate his mind.

I don't know how long it took, but he heard the sound of the door opening again.

Xu Wei opened his eyes and found a smile on the doorman's face.

"My son is welcome, please follow me."

Xu Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

It seems that Mr. Xu is planning to see him. This is really a desperate situation. There is another village with a dark and bright future!
