Translator: 549690339
In the end, under the pressure of his father-in-law ...
Shen lang made some changes to the ‘endless wind and moon’.
For example, Ximen Qing’s name was no longer Guangyun, and Ximen Qianqian’s name had also changed to Ximen Xianxian.
He did not know if the readers would think of the name Yingluo, but he hoped that this batch of readers would.
The illustrations were very realistic, and anyone who saw her would think that she looked like Xu Qianqian. Shen lang was relieved.
......
Shen lang and Jin mucong sat in the carriage and headed to Lanshan city, which was more than 100 miles away.
Why did he go there? That was because it was a place of culture.
Lanshan city was not under the jurisdiction of Nujiang County, but was under the Yangwu County. However, in terms of geographical distance, Lanshan city and Xuanwu city were very close.
It was a famous cultural city, and the books he published could reach the surrounding five counties and more than twenty cities.
Books had already become the name card of Lanshan city.
Xuanwu city’s silk and Lanshan city’s books.
If he wanted to create a huge impact, the best choice was to publish a book in Lanshan city.
“My father actually didn’t hit you?” Jin mucong asked in surprise.
I’m sorry. Shen lang narrowed his eyes. father-in-law, you’re disappointed that you didn’t hit me, right? ”
that’s right, hehe, ” Jin mucong said instinctively. He then shook his head vigorously.”No, no, I’m a loyal person, how could I think that way?”
“My father didn’t tear up the manuscript?” Jin mucong asked.
Shen lang could not be bothered to answer such a childish question. Not only did he not tear it up, but something even more explosive happened.
“Brother-in-law, it looks like our book is going to be a hit.” “Even an old-fashioned man like my father is reluctant to tear it up. It’ll definitely be popular,” Jin mucong said.
When it came to reading, the Earl of Xuanwu was definitely an amateur.
For a book, it was often possible for small white immortal grass and old white poisonous grass to appear.
If an ordinary book could be praised by an old white like the Earl, there would probably be no market for it in the small white market.
However, there were exceptions to everything. Shen Lang’s book would definitely kill both the old and the young.
It would definitely be popular in the third heaven.
......
After more than four hours, the carriage that Shen lang and Jin mucong were on arrived at Lanshan city.
There was also an old noble family here, the house of the Lanshan Viscount, the Zhu family.
However, the Zhu family was too cunning. Before the governor of Yangwu County could lay his hands on them, The Viscount had already surrendered.
He offered his fief and military power in exchange for a round of praise from the monarch, who praised him as a capable general of the country.
Not only that, but he also gave the Lanshan Viscount a lot of money, which was a great fortune.
However, the Lanshan Viscount’s residence had also become a disgrace to the old nobles.
You’re happy with what you’re doing, but you’ve caused us to suffer.
The Earl of Xuanwu had also repeatedly criticized the shamelessness of Viscount Lanshan. This kind of behavior was completely putting the other old aristocratic families on the fire to roast.
......
In terms of wealth, Lanshan city was definitely not as rich as Xuanwu city.
However, from the market, this place was more prosperous and the atmosphere was much lighter.
As expected of a cultural city, there were bookstores and book stalls everywhere.
The air was filled with the smell of ink. Books from the surrounding dozens of cities were being restocked here.
When he passed by many bookstores, Shen lang saw huge signs.
“16 days until the release of Volume 2 of” Mandarin Duck dreams “!”
There was a countdown?
Just how popular was this “Mandarin Duck dream”?
It wasn’t just hot, it exploded!
The sales of the first volume of “Mandarin duck’s dream” had already broken the record for the sales of Lanshan city’s novels.
Now that more than half a year had passed, countless people were eagerly waiting for the second volume.
Therefore, many bookstores had put up a countdown for the release of the second volume of the book.
The author of this book had also become a famous scholar in dozens of counties, and the dream lover of countless girls.
......
There were five big bookstores in Lanshan city.
Not only did these bookstores sell books, but they also printed their own books. They had opened bookstores in dozens of cities around them.
In the words of earth, this was a large chain of book merchants.
The two largest bookstores were the fragrant ink restaurant and the Jade Pavilion.
The former sounded very old-fashioned and serious, while the latter seemed very popular and gorgeous. Therefore, Shen lang and Jin mucong went to the Jade Pavilion without hesitation.
After Shen lang entered the Jade-like Pavilion, his gaze immediately locked onto a young, handsome, and well-dressed gentleman.
Handsome guys were natural enemies!
A shopkeeper immediately came forward to welcome him and said, ” “What kind of book do you two young masters want? recently, our store has just released a book called” Mandarin Duck dream.”It is truly sweet and touching, and countless young masters and young ladies have been mesmerized by it. I’m sure it won’t disappoint you two young masters.”
Mandarin Duck dream ” again. Shen Lang’s eyes and ears were about to grow calluses.
You might as well call it a new dream of Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies.
Shen lang smiled disdainfully. The title of the book was obviously a melodramatic one. It was meant to cheat innocent girls of their love and pocket money.
As soon as he laughed, he immediately received a hostile look.
The handsome young man in embroidered clothes looked over and said coldly, ” “What’s wrong? Does this brother find it laughable?”
He was considered very handsome, but there was still a gap when he was compared to Shen lang. However, his clothes were embroidered with gold and silver, and they were even more luxurious than Shen Lang’s.
“You are?” Shen lang asked.
“Lanshan Zhu Wenhua,” The young man said.
Zhu Wenhua?
So it’s you, the shame of the old nobles.
Your father is a bastard. He offered up his land and military power and placed the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu on the fire.
And this Zhu Wenhua was the second son of the Lanshan Viscount.
“” Mandarin Duck dream “is my humble work. What advice does brother have?” Zhu Wenhua added.
So the famous scholar of dozens of cities is also you. You’re still the one who swindled the hearts, tears, and pocket money of countless young girls.
This Zhu Wenhua was very famous. Not only was he the idol of many scholars, but he was also the dream man of countless girls.
As the son of an aristocrat, he did not just sit around and wait for death. Instead, he was determined to improve and learned both literature and martial arts. At the age of 16, he became a high scholar.
However, an honest person did not pretend to be an honest person. Others could not see through this person. Shen lang had not seen him in person, but he could see through him just by listening to his story.
The house of the Lanshan Viscount had obediently handed over their fief and military power a few years ago.
This Zhu Wenhua was the second son of The Viscount, so he could not inherit the title.
What should he do then?
Of course, he had to find another way out. He would take the Imperial examinations and earn fame at the same time.
Shen lang also knew that one of Zhu Wenhua’s main targets was Zhang Chunhua, the daughter of the Nujiang County Governor, Zhang Ji.
Zhang Chunhua was known as the most beautiful woman in Xuanwu city.
These rankings were all made up. The key point was that this woman’s father was awesome.
Everyone could see that once Zhang Ji settled the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, he would be destined to soar and enter the center of Yue country in the future, becoming a powerful official.
So, Zhu Wenhua was a scheming b * stard.
Shen lang was hostile the moment he saw him. He had met someone of the same profession.
Shen lang and he both wanted to live off a woman.
However, Shen lang was clearly eating while Zhu Wenhua was putting on an act. He was like a Peacock that was trying to attract Zhang Chunhua’s attention.
Putting aside the fact that people of the same trade were enemies, Zhu Wenhua, if you were determined to be Zhang Ji’s son-in-law, wouldn’t that be betraying your own position?
You are an old noble, but you want to join the new political party!
Zhu Wenhua didn’t know that Shen langzhi had so many thoughts in his mind just by looking at him.
He did not even know who Shen lang was. However, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of hostility when he saw Shen lang.
He was a famous scholar in more than ten cities and was also the son of an aristocrat. He had no regard for anyone, but Shen lang actually laughed at him after hearing the title of his book?
Who Do You Think You Are?
“Brother, why did you laugh in disdain after hearing my book?” Zhu Wenhua said coldly.
I don’t know why, ” Shen lang said honestly. just hearing the stupid title of the book makes me want to laugh.
This Tao Wu is a provocation!
As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes could not help but look over.
Handsome men were indeed natural enemies. They had just met, and they were already flirting.
“Who are you, Sir?” Zhu Wenhua’s face turned cold.
What he meant was that even if you used your name, if you came from an ordinary family without any power or influence, this young master would cripple you.
Before Shen lang could speak, Jin mucong said, ” I am Jin mucong, the son of the Earl of Xuanwu. This is my brother-in-law, Shen lang.
Comparing status? Comparing titles? You, Zhu Wenhua, are not qualified.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wenhua’s expression changed when he heard these two names. Then, he was overjoyed.
What a good prey!
I was just thinking about how to please miss Zhang Chunhua.
You two pieces of trash have delivered yourselves to my door!
Lord Zhang Ji’s enemies were two pieces of trash. They were the best prey.
Zhu Wenhua said, ” so it’s you two who are the shame of the rich. Jin mucong, you’re born into a noble family, but you’re as stupid as a pig. That’s why miss Jin Mulan can’t marry out of the family. You even have to marry a shameless man who’s ignorant and incompetent.
Then, he looked at Shen lang and said, ” and you, Qianqian, are that vain, incompetent, and shameless person, Shen lang, right? ”
Aiya!
Shen lang closed his eyes.
The heavens were too good to him.
When he wanted to slap them in the face, someone immediately came forward.
Whenever he wanted to show off, someone would immediately offer their head for him to step on.
How can I make my book popular quickly?
Of course, he had to step on the most popular great scholar to get to the top. Moreover, they were enemies of the same class.
Shen lang opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Wenhua, who was filled with fighting spirit.
He sighed in his heart.
“Isn’t it good to be alive?”
you wish Wenhua a good life and an endless number of fans. Why are you in such a hurry to die? ”
