Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 66: Xiu Mu meets the Wang family’s daughter for the first time, the storybook of the conversation with Dai after the banquet
Chapter 66: Xiu Mu meets the Wang family’s daughter for the first time, the storybook of the conversation with Dai after the banquet
This cousin of the Wang family, who made Jia Lan curious, met at the family dinner in the evening.
Mrs. Wang pointed to the woman next to her and introduced to Jia Lan with a smile: "Lan'er, this is Baoyu's cousin, with a small name of Jinxiu. In terms of seniority, she is your uncle and aunt. Come and say hello."
Jia Lan said hello quickly, and the other party looked at Jia Lan curiously, and returned a blessing gift.
"Say hello to the little criminal!"
This relative of the Wang family has a tepid voice, which is pleasant even though it is crisp, and has a beautiful face with a good appearance, with a faint outline of Sister Feng.
But it's less charming and more aristocratic.
It's just that Jia Lan saw that the expression on this person's eyebrows was a bit outstanding, and he seemed to look down on everyone. Even Baoyu seemed to look down on her. On the contrary, she was warm to him and had a brief conversation with her at the banquet.
A few words.
It's not that he doesn't like it, anyway, when Jia Lan saw this relative of the Wang family, he felt wary out of nowhere.
I can’t tell what it is, it just feels like a boundary.
Jia Lan's eyes wandered, and he saw that Jia's mother was still very interested. She also smiled at the Wang family, so she also put on a smile and said some words of praise. Wang Jinxiu was modest, but looking at her face, it was clear that she was very impressed by Jia Lan's attitude.
The compliment was very helpful, and the color between my eyebrows became thicker.
After the meal, Sister Feng called Li Wan to discuss the Grand View Garden. Under Baoyu's depressed gaze, Daiyu took the initiative to invite Jia Lan to take a walk to eat. After entering the Grand View Garden, the two chatted about new stories. p>
"Then Guo Fu and Yang Guo are obviously childhood sweethearts, but they really want to become enemies and cut off his arm?"
"Then Yang Guo and his master really have to be separated for sixteen years before they can meet again?"
"Then Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying have been delayed all their lives like this?"
Lin Daiyu looked upset and asked three questions in a row. However, these three were big questions, which made Jia Lan unable to resist.
After considering his words, Jia Lan briefly discussed his understanding.
There is Jin Daxia's superb skill in it. Although he was coerced by the readers and it seemed to be written crookedly, in fact, even sixteen years later, the ending was not crooked.
Yang Guo's character is changed, which means he made a mistake and corrected it later.
On the surface, the entire book is about Yang Guo's struggle history from childhood to adulthood.
But in fact, there is a chilling hidden line in it, which is the emotional line between lovers.
Both Yang Guo and Guo Fu subconsciously like each other.
Compared to the protagonist, the unruly and willful Guo Fu in the book actually grew up with Yang Guo. In the end, the person Yang Guo loved most sacrificed her own happiness just for her country.
Guo Fu's status. Jin Daxia once said through Yang Guo: "...This girl is the princess of Xiangyang City..."
The unruly Guo Fu finally matured and lived her whole life worthy of the name "princess". Not only did she personally lead the troops to fight and defend Xiangyang, she also sacrificed her love to protect her people like the princesses who got married in history.
After listening to Jia Lan's words, Daiyu shouted "Ah", her pace suddenly accelerated, and she walked onto the Cuiyan Bridge outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Looking at the bright moon reflected under the bridge, her tears fell like broken threads.<
/p>
Zijuan Xueyan hurriedly went up to help, but Jia Lan got there first.
Daiyu raised her hand and pushed Jialan hard several times. After not seeing each other for a month, Jialan became taller again and was already taller than Daiyu.
"Tell me what's going on in your head, Jing came up with such sad stories!"
Although Zijuan Xueyan on the side was not so sentimental, her eyes were red after hearing Jia Lan's story. Xueyan even said: "Lan Geer will never stop making the girls who like her shed so many tears in the future!" Even Zicuckoo, who never spoke much in front of Jia Lan, nodded in agreement: "Lan Geer's story is so good, I'm not sure how he will make up stories to deceive girls outside in the future!"
Daiyu was wiping her tears with a handkerchief. After hearing this, she also shouted with the same hatred: "That's it!"
Jia Lan raised his hands and cried out: "What an injustice! How can I be willing to make people who like me cry?!"
These greasy words made Zijuan Xueyan laugh out loud. Daiyu scolded angrily: "Glib accent!"
Jia Lan sighed: "Why don't you, Aunt Lin, since you still feel bad about it, then change it!"
"No!" Daiyu raised her hand to stop Jia Lan's words, "Don't change it. If you do, I'll be in trouble with you!"
Seeing Jia Lan looking at her with a teasing expression, Daiyu didn't know that she had fallen into Jia Lan's language trap again. She was so angry that she thought that Lin Daiyu, who was so smart, could usually dig a small hole for her with just a few words.
Jia Baoyu jumped in and asked her grandma to call for help, but she was always running into obstacles in Jia Lan.
"Girl, according to me, it's better not to change. Sometimes, people have to go through twists and turns before they know how to cherish." Xue Yan said from the side.
Jia Lanqi said: "I didn't expect that Sister Xueyan would actually have such an understanding!"
"Of course, this is the maid I have been keeping with me for training!" Daiyu pulled Xueyan into a hug and gave Jia Lan a proud look.
Daiyu helped Jia Lan polish and write the book, so naturally she couldn't avoid the two maids. Jia Lan also asked Daiyu not to hide it, but to tell it openly and honestly. There was only one thing, and she must not tell other people, especially Jia Baoyu. Xueyan didn't think it was anything, but Zijuan was a little worried. She also knew a little bit about literature and knew that this would not be good for Jialan and Daiyu's reputation.
After only watching it a few times, she was completely fascinated by the story of Jialan and Daiyu. Not only did she help Daiyu cover up, but she also kept urging for updates.
The two maids are naturally loyal, but Jialan's win over also has an effect.
It has to be said that the income from writing books was indeed far beyond Jia Lan's expectation. The last book earned two thousand taels, and this time "The Condor Shooting" was even more successful.
According to Leng Zixing’s report, the head of the cooperating party, Rixintang, even personally invited Leng Zixing to a banquet. He personally paid the 5,000 taels of pen fee in one lump sum and promised that as long as he cooperates with his family next time, he will receive the same treatment.
Chongyou.
I have to say that there are really too few good publications in this era. Half of the bookstores basically only print some reference books on current affairs, such as "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation". For example, Jin Shengtan wrote "Little
"Book of Questions for Scholars", which specifically collects examination questions from various imperial examinations.
Because there has always been a stable market for this type of book, the sales volume is also very stable. Many large publishers also rely on the sale of contemporary texts from various academies as their main income.
They often divide their troops into multiple groups and send their men to stay in major academies to excerpt excellent articles, comment on them by famous writers, and then bind them into volumes.
In "The Scholars", Mr. Ma Er is a book editor who helps booksellers select and compile contemporary articles.
The books and periodicals published in this way are a source of fresh income, and usually a copy can be sold for more than one tael of silver.
But it is still difficult to conceal the deformity of the entire publishing market.
That is, there are many exam-oriented books, but vernacular novels are very rare.
Unexpectedly, just because of this, Jia Lan became successful.
