Chapter 88 Single-handedly pulling up Gao Yuan's household
Zhao Congfeng was also literate. After they were adopted by their adoptive father, the adoptive father found someone to teach them how to read. He also read this story and thought it was really well written. The two characters were particularly vivid, real and lifelike.
Whether it is Wu Ming, who seems to be passionate but is actually ruthless, or Su Shan, who is fake in the front but shows his sincerity later, the stories between the two people can't help but sigh.
The lyrics are catchy, concise and easy to understand, even young children can understand it. Coupled with the ups and downs of the exciting development, there is no need to worry about it.
It was also because of this realization that Zhao Congfeng sent it to his adoptive father as soon as possible.
only……
Zhao Congfeng looked a little worried, "This is a story about the third young master of the Wu family. Will it offend the Wu family?"
Zhao Kou pondered for a while and said: "This play should suit the preferences of the young master from the prefect's family. After we have finished rehearsing it, we will invite the young master to come over and appreciate it."
Zhao Congfeng understood that with the support of the young master from the prefect's family, he would not be afraid of suppression by the Wu family. And their troupe might even be able to get some noble people. In this way, their troupe would not be disbanded.
What Zhao Kou didn't say was that with the Mo family around, the Wu family might not be able to take action. The fight between the Wu and Mo families was obvious even to a commoner like him.
He looked at this book as if he were looking at a treasure.
On the other side, Yuan Suijun, who was still in the state capital, found out that the Nanzhifang theater troupe was rehearsing a new play, and knew that his plan was generally successful.
This way he doesn't need to give this story to other troupes for the time being.
Yuan Suijun came to the prefecture this time, apparently to attend the full moon party of his friend Zhou Tai's son, and to consign a few more of his works. His previous works were favored by the nobles in the capital, and this time he just received three calligraphy and paintings.
Going over, the shopkeeper said with a face of joy: "Master Lu told me before he left that if there are any new works of yours, I will send them to the capital immediately."
Their "Qiu Yuxuan" has a main store in the capital, and they can only count it as a branch. If they collect good calligraphy and paintings, they will be sent to the capital.
Immediately, the shopkeeper took four hundred taels and gave them to Yuan Suijun.
Yuan Suijun was a little surprised. The calligraphy and paintings he consigned last time were only more than a hundred taels, and this time he gave so much for three paintings.
The shopkeeper explained: "I heard that Mr. Lu took your calligraphy and painting back and gave them to his grandfather as a birthday gift. Mr. Lu was very happy. So Mr. Lu sent someone to send a message. In the future, there will be your calligraphy and painting.
I charge as much as I want. He also said that he bought it cheaply before, so he bought some back."
Yuan Suijun really didn't expect that there would be such a person who takes advantage of someone who thinks it's too cheap to buy something.
However, he would not be stupid enough to push the money out, so he took the money.
And if the shopkeeper hadn't wanted to seek a good relationship with Yuan Suijun, he wouldn't have said so much. They obviously valued the Lu family's relationship more than money.
Yuan Suijun said: "Most of my paintings and calligraphy are accumulated in the past. I'm afraid I won't have so much time to paint in the future. I may only have one painting in a few months."
The main reason is that things are rare and valuable, and if there is no shortage of money, there is no need to overspread your works. Secondly, because Yuan Suijun has to take the provincial examination next year, he still has to focus on this.
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "This is natural. Good works naturally require more time to carve."
In addition to this matter, Yuan Suijun had another purpose for coming here this time. He asked warmly: "I remember that your store also accepts story books, right? My friend wrote a story book and asked me to ask if you need it?"
Although Su Yueling said that she could pay for the printing, Yuan Suijun felt that there was no need for her to waste the money.
With the one hundred taels she took out, he bought the land in her name as usual.
Naturally, the shopkeeper wanted to show respect to Yuan Suijun, so he quickly took the script and started reading it. Originally, he just wanted to print a hundred copies for Yuan Suijun's sake.
But when he started reading, he was immediately immersed in the story and even ignored Yuan Suijun.
The waiter in the store realized something was wrong, so he quickly made tea and snacks for Yuan Suijun, and brought some books over to show Yuan Suijun.
By the time the shopkeeper finished reading this story, it was already a stick of incense.
He patted his head and said with some annoyance: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan, I just neglected you."
"If you don't know this story, can you make the decision? We, Qiu Yuxuan, want to buy this story from you."
"My friend said that I should make the decision."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and showed a big smile. That's great. The story is very fascinating. Once it is released, it will definitely be very popular.
"How about we, Qiu Yuxuan, buy this story from you at the price of 1000 words and 10 taels?" This is already the highest price they paid when they received the storybook. They will go directly to this price. On the one hand, they want to make friends with Yuan Suijun.
, on the other hand, it’s because the story is really exciting. The shopkeeper is very confident in this story and feels that if he manages it well, he won’t have to worry about sales.
Each chapter written by Yuan Suijun has more than 3,000 words, and there are currently six chapters in total, about 20,000 words.
This means that just what he brought can be exchanged for two hundred taels of silver. When he wrote this story, he just wanted to pass the time for Su Yueling, and never thought that he could exchange it for so much silver.
Yuan Suijun remembered the tiered retouching fee that Su Yueling occasionally mentioned - signing documents with merchants, and getting more retouching fees every time a certain number of books were sold.
He paused, and finally just smiled as warmly as jade, "Okay."
This kind of retouching fee model is proposed now, but it may not be possible to negotiate. After all, the book has not been printed yet, and no one knows whether it will be popular. After the story is released, we will make a decision based on audience feedback.
Yuan Suijun came back this time and easily got six hundred taels. Although it was not as fast as Su Yueling's money-making speed, if it were told, it would be enough to make many people envious.
But for him, the most important thing is next year's provincial examination. Of these 600 taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver is enough to support his family for a year.
Unknowingly, Su Yueling single-handedly raised the level of the Yuan family's household income.
Yuan Suijun thought that since he had already come, he would buy some things from the state capital and go back.
Pens, inks, paper and inkstones are essential, but you can buy these directly at Qiu Yuxuan, and the shopkeeper is willing to give him a discount.
There is no shortage of silk and satin at home.
Yuan Suijun thought of Su Yueling's clean bun - maybe because she didn't like the jewelry in Guangning County, Su Yueling didn't buy those things, and there wasn't even a hairpin in her bun.
Anyway, since she has been quite well-behaved recently, let's choose a suitable hairpin for her. The style here in the state capital is more fashionable and elegant, which should suit Su Yueling's eyes.
Yuan Suijun thought about it and turned back to the jewelry store he passed just now.
