When Wang Zhengsheng saw Du He's look, he knew he had misunderstood something.
He quickly said: "My lord, please don't misunderstand me. In fact, I am a decent person, too."
Du He shook his head: "A serious man, are you telling me this?"
Wang Zhengsheng was speechless for a while.
After explaining carefully for a long time, Du He finally felt relieved and sat down to discuss with Wang Zhengsheng again.
It's not that Du He is too sensitive, it's just the trend of this era. Even many officials in the court have a few pretty boys to play with in private.
Wang Zhengsheng sat up straight, fearing that Du He would misunderstand again, and hurriedly explained: "I underestimated you, county magistrate, before, and I would like to apologize to you, but I really like the book "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", please also
If the county is to become a complete state, you can put forward any conditions that the county needs. If Zhengsheng can do it, he will definitely not refuse."
Du He waved his hand: "It's all trivial. If you want to talk about "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", it's not impossible. You can also stay in Cuiwei Building, but from today on, you must do things for me. I recently plan to set up a Datang Study House."
, start selling this "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". To maintain the sales of the book, it must be very popular. Therefore, I will not hesitate to lower my status to appear in public and tell stories, but it is not a long-term solution, so I intend to hire you.
What do you think about working in Datang Study Hall?"
Wang Zhengsheng thought for a while and suddenly asked: "If I enter the Tang Study, wouldn't I have to leave Cuiwei Tower?"
Du He nodded.
Wang Zhengsheng hesitated: "Yang Haonai and I have been friends for many years. If I leave, Cuiwei Building's business will definitely be affected. How can I do such a thing to hurt a friend?"
Du He stood up and said, "I never impose anything on others. Zhu, please go back and think about it carefully. Once you have thought about it, come back and answer me. Business cannot be done without mercy. Even if you reject my kindness, we will still be friends."
After saying that, Du He turned and left.
Wang Zhengsheng left Laiguo Duke's Mansion and returned to Cuiwei Tower with deep thoughts.
It seems that we have come to a fork in the road, and no matter which way we go, it is difficult to make a choice.
For a moment, Wang Zhengsheng didn't know what to do.
This was even more uncomfortable than when he went to Beijing to take the exam and was defrauded of all his money.
Finally, Wang Zhengsheng hesitantly told Yang Hao about the incident.
When Yang Hao heard this, he slapped the table: "You are stupid, who is Du He? He is the son of the Duke of the country, the prince-in-law, or the county son. If you follow him, you will definitely not fall into poverty if you don't say that you will rise to great heights in the future, but you have to
If you stay here in Cuiwei Building, it will be hard to talk about it in the future. Think about it, you can't be a Bojun for the rest of your life. Besides, talking is no longer popular in Chang'an City. The most popular thing now is the storyteller invented by Du He.
!”
Wang Zhengsheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Yang Hao would fully support him: "But, once I leave, what will happen to Cuiwei Building's business?"
"Oh, Zhengsheng, you are too straightforward. Can my Cuiwei Building business compare with your future? Listen to me and follow Du He, you will never go wrong!" Yang Hao affirmed
He said, wishing he could make a choice for Wang Zhengsheng right away.
"I'd better think about it carefully..."
Wang Zhengsheng did not make an immediate decision.
…
Furniture Factory.
The old man asked curiously: "Master, there are so many people talking in Chang'an City. Why do we need to find Wang Zhengsheng alone? That guy has a bad temper and is not lovable."
Du He was sitting on a revolving wooden chair with his legs crossed. On the table were bright red peaches that had just been shipped from the south.
He smiled and asked: "Have you noticed that these Bojun people in Chang'an City have one characteristic after following me for a few days?"
The old man thought about it seriously, "Are they all older and mediocre in appearance?"
"By the way," Du He cast an admiring look, "Most of the people who become Bojun people are down-and-out people. Many people do this just to survive. Besides, these people are good-looking.
No, it can even be described as crooked melon and cracked date.
"But Wang Zhengsheng is different. It can be seen that this guy really likes the profession of storyteller. The biggest advantage is that he is young and handsome. This is enough. No matter what era, appearance is the first, especially in
Entertainment industry. When the time comes, with a little packaging, this guy will definitely be able to become the number one star in the Tang Dynasty, and I, the young master, can sit in the room and count money." Du He added.
The old man asked with a confused look on his face: "Master, what kind of entertainment industry is this?"
"What circle?"
"Entertainment?"
"What kind of entertainment industry?"
"Master, the entertainment industry is here!"
"What music circle?"
The old man collapsed immediately.
I saw him crying and asking: "Master, did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"
Du He stood up and shook his head helplessly: "Oh, it's not humorous at all."
Early the next morning, as soon as Du He walked out of the gate of Laiguo Duke's Mansion, he ran into Wang Zhengsheng who was rushing over.
When Du He saw the other party, his first words were: "Have you figured it out?"
Wang Zhengsheng nodded: "County son, I have made a decision. I am willing to join Datang Study."
Du He was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he had long expected that Wang Zhengsheng would make such a choice.
He suddenly smiled and asked: "Zhu, do you know who is the best at understanding food in the world?"
Wang Zhengsheng was stunned for a long time.
Shake his head.
"Please give me some advice from the county magistrate!"
Du He smiled and said: "The answer is: Junjie."
Wang Zhengsheng was stunned.
Lu Bu was stunned.
The old man was also stunned.
Du He explained: "As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs (food) are heroes."
Du He thought this was a funny joke.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhengsheng and others looked at him in confusion.
Du He thought to himself, what a failure!
This is not playing the piano to a cow.
Before getting on the carriage, he shook his head helplessly: "It's really not humorous at all!"
He overestimated the rigidity of people in this era.
It's not like in later generations, everyone has a mobile phone and receives new information every day.
Even Wang Zhengsheng and Du He were familiar with each other, and they spoke in a precise manner.
After getting on the carriage, Du He closed his eyes and meditated.
Last night he read Chapter 17 of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" several times, and the plot of the story has been deeply ingrained in his mind.
Thinking back on it now, it's like being there.
Storytellers want this kind of effect.
How can I convince the audience to listen if I can't even immerse myself in that scene?
This is the last time he will tell a story, but Du He has an idea in his heart. Even if it is not the final chapter of this novel, he should tell it as perfectly as possible.
"Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" will go on sale tomorrow. Whether it will be an instant hit depends on today's performance.
Things like novels are not originally a product of this era. If they appear rashly, they may not necessarily be accepted by people. However, Du He has set the pace through storytelling. Whether it can succeed depends on the sales situation tomorrow.
