Gu Qingcheng still doesn't quite understand the routines of online writing.
Instead of uploading each chapter with 3,000 words, she published 30,000 words in one go.
However, it can be considered a hit or miss.
After all, historical novels are relatively slow to develop, and there are too many plots that need to be foreshadowed.
Gu Qingcheng writes more traditional historical novels, which are not as exciting as online novels, nor do they deliberately pursue the golden three chapters.
She is like a storyteller, telling all kinds of interesting things about the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that are absurd, extravagant, crazy, or romantic.
The writing is beautiful, the wording is sophisticated, and allusions, historical materials, etc. are readily available.
She also wrote down the details of clothing, jewelry, food, furniture, etc. very well.
This is a text that can be repeatedly tested by historians and archaeologists.
Some readers may not be able to stand this kind of "popular science" novel, but there are also history or literature lovers who love it crazily.
Especially in the section on the history of cooking wine, high-rise buildings have been built directly by professionals.
They held various discussions on the costumes, customs, etiquette, etc. described in Gu Qingcheng's novels.
Quoting scriptures and expressing their own opinions.
Some people showed some passages to their tutors.
Because some of Gu Qingcheng's descriptions are consistent with existing historical data, and some are not.
Some descriptions of etiquette and customs even contradict some miscellaneous notes and unofficial histories that are regarded as historical materials.
Professionals began to come on stage and tried to refute each of them one by one.
However, Gu Qingcheng also marked a series of references at the end of the article——
History buffs & history researchers: What the hell is this?
There are many book titles they have never heard of!
And a few of them that have a vague impression are the only and unique copies that are said to have been lost long ago!
Where did this historical figure come from?
Some people suspect that Gu Qingcheng is falsifying and deliberately fabricating some unheard-of "ancient books".
However, more people, especially insiders, feel that this should be true.
An expert knows the way.
For those who really study the history of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, they can still have a sense of whether the "historical materials" are true or false.
And their intuition told them that this ID was the author of "A Visit to the Qingren City", and everything he wrote should be true.
When there is controversy and discussion, the article becomes popular.
The backends of Gu Qingcheng's several websites have received some private messages.
There are website editors, publishing house editors, and some booksellers or cultural companies.
They all want to get Gu Qingcheng's contact information and then conduct further cooperation.
Gu Qingcheng read all those private messages and checked their identities and related information online.
Then, she picked three and added the penguin and email address according to the contact information they left.
Just after adding it, a message was sent.
Some want to read the outline or save the manuscript, some want to sign a contract, and some ask for Gu Qingcheng's information...
Gu Qingcheng answered one by one.
After working for more than an hour, Gu Qingcheng reached a publishing agreement with a very formal publishing house.
The royalties are fifteen per thousand words, and the price is quite satisfactory.
But it’s also a good start for a new author.
What Gu Qingcheng wants is not money, but fame.
With the blessing of a regular publishing house, she can apply to join the association.
The Writers Association is not an official organization, but it is also a representative of identity.
…
Two hours of online time passed quickly.
Gu Qingcheng turned off her phone and moved her shoulders and neck.
Roommate Li Tingfang, who was sitting next to her, also finished her homework and said to Gu Qingcheng with a smile: "Qingcheng, let's go to the Fourth Canteen. I heard that the egg fried rice here is particularly delicious!"
"good!"
Gu Qingcheng followed the good deeds.
The two girls got up, put on their schoolbags, and left the electronic reading room together.
Zou Kai and Fatty hurried to catch up.
"Kaizi, why are you always in a daze?"
As the fat man walked away, he complained, "What a great opportunity, you can sit directly next to Gu Qingcheng!"
Instead of hiding and peeping like a crazy person.
Zou Kai blushed. He was too embarrassed to tell his roommates that he really wanted to sit next to Gu Qingcheng, but for some reason, they all came closer, and he suddenly felt a little cowardly.
The steps were not controlled by the brain at all, and in a swish, he jumped to another row.
When he reacted, he looked over and found that Gu Qingcheng was sitting upright, staring at the computer screen with all his attention.
Her serious profile is so beautiful!
Gu Qingcheng's position was right next to the window.
Sunlight streamed in through the glass, and Gu Qingcheng's entire body was wrapped in a bright curtain of light.
Zou Kai sat diagonally behind and could see Gu Qingcheng's perfect profile: a high nose bridge, petal-like lips, a beautiful jawline, and a neck like a swan's neck.
The light was really stunning, and the fine hairs on Gu Qingcheng's face could be clearly shown.
"It turns out she doesn't have makeup on!"
Zou Kai actually came up with such an idea.
He was lying on the computer table, holding his chin in one hand and looking at it stupidly.
I didn't feel the passage of time at all.
If he hadn't seen Gu Qingcheng stand up and the fat man next to him push him again, he would still be in a daze!
"...What about that? I see that they are busy."
Zou Kai replied nonchalantly and said, "I will go find her when we get to the cafeteria!"
By the way, you can even treat her to dinner!
The fourth canteen is newly built, with a total of three floors.
The first floor is a general canteen, the second floor is local delicacies and stir-fries, and the third floor also has private rooms.
Zou Kai thought that he could ask Gu Qingcheng to go to the third floor to show off his money making abilities.
However, when Zou Kai caught up, Gu Qingcheng and Li Tingfang were already holding trays and preparing meals from the window on the first floor.
"Auntie, I want a portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and half a portion of rice!"
Gu Qingcheng inserted the card into the card reader and showed a stupid, well-behaved smile to the cafeteria aunt.
Canteen Aunt: ...Oh, where did this beautiful woman come from!
This girl is so pretty.
She has a better temperament, is clean, white and tender, and is extremely beautiful without any gaudiness.
The cafeteria aunt in her fifties was filled with motherly love when she saw such a well-behaved and beautiful little girl.
Parkinson's hand, which had always been complained about by students, did not shake and gave Gu Qingcheng a firm spoonful, with more eggs and less tomatoes.
"Child, you can't just eat vegetarian dishes! There happens to be a little braised pork left here, and it's not enough to give someone a portion. I'll give you a little less, and I'll give it all to you!"
After the aunt in the cafeteria finished serving the meal, she felt a little distressed when she saw Gu Qingcheng's too thin appearance.
She pointed to the braised pork on the plate beside her and said to Gu Qingcheng with a smile.
"……good!"
They were so enthusiastic, and it was hard for Gu Qingcheng to refuse.
Li Tingfang: ...being good-looking really helps!
It can be eaten as a meal!
The aunt in the cafeteria said, "It's not enough to give someone one portion," but according to their habits, this little "leftover" is enough to divide it into two portions.
As a result, everyone gave everything to Gu Qingcheng, and when they calculated the money, they really took "a little bit".
For less than six yuan, Gu Qingcheng's lunch box was piled full of meat, vegetables and "broth" that the aunt in the cafeteria conveniently added. There were actually two meatballs in the broth!
When it was Li Tingfang's turn, she discovered to her despair that the cafeteria aunt was still the same cafeteria aunt.
I can always shake off half a spoonful of vegetables, and I can also accurately shake off the eggs in the tomato scrambled eggs and the diced chicken in the spicy chicken!
After spending ten yuan, the portion on Li Tingfang's plate was not half as good as Gu Qingcheng's!
Li Tingfang: ...I'm not ugly either! Why am I treated so obviously differently?
"The cafeteria aunt is so kind to you!"
Li Tingfang said something resentful.
Woohoo, as expected, being ugly means having no human rights.
Although she is not ugly!
But still being treated differently!
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng was not proud, but looked as if he should take it for granted.
Li Tingfang: ...Gu Qingcheng, is it really okay for you to be so narcissistic?
She was complaining in her heart, but when her eyes came into contact with Gu Qingcheng's beautiful face, she couldn't help but nod: she does have the ability to be narcissistic.
Hum, if I had stunning beauty, oh no, even if it was only seven or eight, I would be even more stunning and proud!
"Let's eat together!"
Li Tingfang understands, but there is still some injustice.
She deliberately pushed her dinner plate towards the middle and said angrily.
"good!"
Gu Qingcheng knew that Li Tingfang was not just showing off her temper, but also wanted to "share".
If you want to build a relationship between roommates, you start by eating and drinking.
"Gu, Gu Qingcheng!"
Zou Kai finally found Gu Qingcheng.
Seeing that she and Li Tingfang had already started eating, the words "I'll treat you to dinner" were swallowed back.
"Um?"
Gu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at Zou Kai with some confusion, "Is something wrong?"
There is no ambiguity or the guilty conscience of "taking advantage of others". She is like a superior god looking down on a stupid mortal.
Zou Kai was a little stunned——
Looking from a distance, Gu Qingcheng is beautiful.
When I took a closer look, I realized that she was even more beautiful!
Zou Kai was unprepared and suffered a wave of beautiful attacks, and his little heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Suddenly there was a burst of nervousness, and Zou Kai stuttered a little when he spoke, "I, I remember that you had no class in the afternoon, um, there was a Korea Town opened in the city center, I, I asked you to go, go -"
Gu Qingcheng: ...Look at how nervous this kid is.
He is obviously the benefactor of money, but he is so humble.
And this state is exactly what Gu Qingcheng wants.
She frowned slightly, as if thinking about it.
Zou Kai's breathing became rapid, he became more nervous, and his palms began to sweat.
Finally, just when Zou Kai felt that his mouth was dry and his heartbeat was racing, Gu Qingcheng finally said, "Okay!"
Zou Kai's heart suddenly jumped up, and he hurriedly said, "I, I drove the car, I bought it new, I don't know if you like it or not!"
"Um!"
Gu Qingcheng still looked unattainable.
It was as if I was sitting in Zou Kai's car, which was a great honor for Zou Kai.
The fat man who was watching the whole process no longer had the suspicion he had in the past——
What's wrong with holding such a noble goddess?
