In the early morning, when the sky was just getting dark, before Songzhuzhai opened its doors, there was a long and dark queue at the door.
Among them, there are even servants from wealthy families. Yinshi came here to queue up just to buy the latest ones for his master.
Printed by Songzhuzhai, one volume will be published every five days, and today is the day when the sixth volume will be sold.
Shops on Shufang Street opened one after another, and the shop assistants and shopkeepers of many shops looked envious when they saw the grand scene in front of Songzhu Zhai.
A few others were beating their chests with regret, wishing they could turn back time and give them a chance to make a new choice.
Because before the sale, they and Songzhuzhai also received submissions from the "Li Qing". Unfortunately, they did not have the vicious vision of shopkeeper Peng, so they let this great opportunity go in vain. Now that they saw the situation in front of Songzhuzhai, they just felt sad.
It's like a knife twisting, I can't bear to look at it anymore.
"Mrs. Cui is so evil, she actually made a pair of lovers sworn brother and sister!"
“I don’t know what happened next, but I really want to read the sixth volume as soon as possible.”
"It's coming, it's coming. In less than a quarter of an hour, Songzhu Restaurant should be opened."
…
Crunch!
While people were queuing up at the door to discuss, the door of Songzhu Zhai slowly opened, and the crowd immediately rushed inside.
"I want to buy two copies!"
"I'll buy ten copies!"
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, ah, whose money has been lost!"
In order to buy the new volume from Songzhuzhai, everyone tried their best. After all, the number of printed copies was limited, but there were countless people in Beijing waiting for the new volume. They got up early in the morning. If they still couldn't buy it, they went back
I am afraid that I will be punished and reprimanded by my master.
Fortunately, Songzhuzhai is considerate of them and stipulates that each person can only buy two copies at most. Otherwise, most of the people queuing here will leave empty-handed.
In Songzhuzhai, several clerks were still hard at work selecting movable type for typesetting with big dark circles under their eyes. Shopkeeper Peng looked at them and said unbearably: "You guys should go back and have a rest. Your replacement will be here soon."
"Shopkeeper, we are not tired."
"Yes, we can still persist."
"If the shopkeeper feels bad about it, why don't you double my wages?"
Shopkeeper Peng patted one person on the shoulder and said: "Since everyone has worked so hard, I, as the shopkeeper, can't treat you badly, but talking about money hurts feelings. How about this? Tonight, I will treat you to dumplings.
Big meat filling!”
A clerk ran in from outside and said: "Shopkeeper, there are too many people queuing up outside. Our inventory will be sold out by noon at the latest!"
Shopkeeper Peng patted the table and said loudly: "Quick, hurry up and get someone to print more!"
At the entrance of Songzhuzhai, people who had bought new rolls walked out of the shop with satisfaction. When they habitually looked at the wooden boards erected in front of the shop door, they couldn't help but be startled.
"What?"
"Am I really not wrong?"
"No, there will be a new volume coming out the day after tomorrow. Don't you have to wait for five days? Not only that, there is also a new work by the great genius Li Qing..."
"You don't know where love comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who live but cannot die, and those who die but cannot be resurrected are not the true nature of love... This preface looks very exciting!"
"That's right, it's produced by Li Qing. It must be a high-quality product. There are new books to read this time!"
The appearance of the star broke the conventional routine and was like a bright light piercing the darkness, attracting countless people to pursue it.
The talented man Li Qing, who had never been seen before, instantly became the admiration of countless people in the capital.
Although they don't know the specific content yet, the name Li Qing is enough to give them confidence in this new book.
Ping'an County Government.
Tang Ning, who had just come from morning exercise, handed the sixth and seventh volumes to Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi looked at him in surprise and said, "Don't Songzhuzhai only print one volume at a time?"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "I know the shopkeeper of Songzhuzhai. Although the seventh volume has not been published yet, it is not difficult to get a handwritten copy."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhong Yi." A smile appeared on Zhong Yi's face, and she looked at him and said, "Mr., please go take a bath quickly. I have already put the bath water away. If your husband is in need, I will ask Qing'er to go in and take care of you..."
"No, no, no..." Tangning waved her hand and said, "I can do it by myself."
Things like taking a bath and getting up can be done without troubling Qing'er. The little girl is still growing and needs a lot of rest. It's not good to keep her busy all the time.
After the morning exercise, I was sweating all over, so it would be better for me to take a leisurely soak by myself.
Seeing him walking into the room, Zhong Yi took the two volumes and walked towards the study.
Ping'an County Government Office is not as good as Zhongfu, and there are not many rooms. For the time being, she can only share a bedroom with Su Ru, and the study room is also shared with Tang Ning.
She walked into the study, sat at the table, and read carefully.
The stories are intertwined, one wave after another, the emotional ups and downs between Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying also touch her heartstrings all the time.
Cui Yingying's experience was somewhat similar to hers. She knew exactly what it felt like to be forced to marry someone she didn't like.
Of course, she is much luckier than Cui Yingying. When I read it, I don’t think of the bad things in the past. I just feel that God has treated her well. I hope that this girl Cui can also reap her happiness in the story.
.
She was so absorbed in reading that when she turned a page, she accidentally knocked off a booklet in her hand.
This was a collection of policy papers that he used to practice on weekdays. A few pages of paper fell out. Zhong Yi leaned over to pick them up. When he was about to pick up the papers, his movements suddenly stopped.
There was a line of words written on that piece of paper.
"Tang Zhao fabricated a lie and said that Zhang Sheng had been recruited by Wei Shangshu as his son-in-law. Mrs. Cui once again promised her daughter to Zheng Tang Zhao. On the day of the wedding, Zhang Sheng returned as the governor of Hezhong, and Du Que, the general of the expedition to the west, also came to congratulate him.
.The truth came to light, Tang Zhao was so ashamed that he committed suicide with hatred, Zhang Sheng and Yingying finally got married..."
Tang Zhao is the most annoying villain, but the seventh volume has just been published. How did he end up committing suicide in shame?
This seems to be the ending of The West Chamber?
She knew that Tang Ning had also read it, thinking that this was an ending he had made up himself. However, when she looked at the other pages, her lips slightly opened in surprise, and her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Tangning came out of the shower and walked towards the study.
When he was taking a bath just now, he thought about it carefully and decided that he would never write a book like this in the future. After all, he and Xiaoyi were not in a free love relationship, but got married first and then fell in love. In case she found out in the future that these two books were
It would be bad if she misunderstood what he wrote.
He had already locked up the manuscripts written by He, and there were still some scraps in the book that he had not had time to deal with. He planned to wait until the time was right before telling her.
He walked to the study and saw Zhong Yi standing at the table, seemingly in a daze.
"You finished reading it so quickly?" Tangning said in surprise, and then said, "I'll go to Songzhuzhai tomorrow to see if they have any more content."
Zhong Yi looked at him and asked with a complicated expression: "Is my husband-in-law called Tang Ning or Li Qing?"
Tangning was stunned on the spot, her mind a little blank.
Fairy Tang actually betrayed him.
It is said that heaven knows and earth knows, but you know and I know?
Liar, you really can’t believe a word of what a woman says!
"Listen to my explanation." Tangning looked at Zhong Yi and said, "That time was an accident. I don't want to pretend to be Yaoyao's cousin, just because..."
"What?" Zhong Yi looked at him and said in disbelief: "You are pretending to be Yaoyao's cousin?"
"..." Tangning paused for a few seconds and asked, "What did you mean by Li Qing... just now?"
"This is not important anymore." Zhong Yi stepped forward, looked at him with a somewhat blank look, and asked: "Yaoyao's cousin, Miss Li Qingli... is your husband-in-law?"
