Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

The direction Li Yifu was pointing at was exactly where Fang Cheng set up his stall. The first thing that attracted his attention was the beautiful posters of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

Gao Zhizhou looked in the direction he pointed out, and when he saw the poster, his eyes froze, and the two walked quickly to Fang Cheng.

"You two, do you want to buy books?" Fang Cheng finally saw someone coming, and greeted him with a smile.

They didn't respond to Fang Cheng's words, they stared at the poster drawn by Li Yi'an with wide eyes, and slowly felt their breathing became short of breath.

They have never seen this kind of painter before. The painting is full of verve and poetry, and the artistic conception is profound, which changed their perception of painting.

"Where did you come from, this painting?"

Gao Zhizhou looked at Fang Cheng and asked urgently.

When did such a master in the painting appear in Chang'an?

Even Yan Liben could not paint this kind of artistic conception, nor would he know this special painting method.

In the blank space in the painting, a poem was written:

Half mortal heart and half immortal, Crescent Sky pays for 1000 years.

It is difficult to break the world with a broken bridge, and continue the frontier by the West Lake.

They haven't read the novel yet, and they don't quite understand the content of the poem, but they can see that the perfect combination of poetry and painting completely revolutionizes their perception of poetry and painting.

Who is the person who painted this painting? He has such a great talent.

As the top class among poor scholars, they ask themselves that they are good at everything in poetry and painting, but compared with this, their paintings are very different from each other.

"Who painted it, I can't say."

Fang Cheng was also ordered not to reveal Li Yi'an's identity, and continued: "If you don't want to buy, please leave."

"Legend of the White Snake?"

Li Yifu's eyes fell on those books, and he said with a smile: "Lu Xiuran used their Lu family's contacts and means to sell books everywhere, and you are also selling books, or are you a monster type, are you trying to compete with Lu Xiuran?"

"It's difficult, even impossible, to compete with Lu Xiuran in the stories of ghosts and monsters. We have read Lu Xiuran's books, and all the scholars in Chang'an who claim to be talented and learned are full of praise."

Gao Zhizhou continued: "I think you have wasted so much paper and ink on these books."

"However, your painting is very beautiful. The painting method is novel, the artistic conception is profound, and the brushwork and color are used to the extreme. It is different from what we know. I feel that the scene in the painting is truly presented in front of my eyes. How much is it? I can buy it. gone."

He admired that painting very much, and wanted to know more about the master of this painting.

"Paintings, not for sale, I only sell books."

Fang Cheng shook his head and ignored them.

"Brother Zhizhou, read it quickly, this book is really interesting!"

Li Yifu opened the cover and looked at it for a while, not to mention the quality of the paper, but the style and punctuation marks inside were refreshing, and the story seemed to be even more beautiful than Lu Xiuran's.

Li Yifu's talents and learning are also not bad, whether it is good or bad, one can tell at a glance.

"Lu Xiuran's story of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman is far inferior to this!"

Li Yifu said in admiration.

After reading two pages, the book gave him a feeling that it was popular.

That's right, it's very popular, it doesn't need to be understood like those classical Chinese texts, it's easy to understand, and you can see the essence of the story at a glance, this is a good story.

Legendary stories are originally intended for entertainment. This "Legend of the White Snake" is closer to entertainment. In addition, the story is more continuous than Lu Xiuran's book, with more plots to watch and a faster pace. The writing style is no worse than that of Lu Xiuran, or even better.

Gao Zhizhou flipped through the cover curiously, the style also made him feel novel, after continuing to read, he was stunned.

This is indeed better than Lu Xiuran's, and it is easier for people to understand and even indulge.

"This gentleman, who is the person who wrote the book?"

Gao Zhizhou asked: "Could it be that this painting was also painted by the person who wrote the book?"

"I said, do you still want to buy books?"

Fang Cheng didn't even bother to answer, and continued: "If you don't want to buy it, please leave."

"Buy, of course buy!"

Li Yifu asked: "If I buy a copy, can you tell me who is the owner of this painting?"

"cannot!"

Fang Cheng refused decisively.

"The owner of the painting should be an expert who doesn't care about fame and fortune. Otherwise, we wouldn't have never heard of him with such an exquisite painting method."

Gao Zhizhou thought for a while, and then said: "However, the content of this book is indeed better than that of the Lu family, so it shouldn't be buried like this."

Li Yifu understood what he heard. If the Lu family continues to be in the limelight, overshadowing the newspapers, and regaining control of the public opinion, it will not benefit them much. He also said: "We will buy this book and recommend it. To other friends, let’s buy your book together.”

The Lu family's books were obviously used to rebel against the newspapers.

They are still waiting to read the decree in the newspaper and the imperial examination in autumn, how can the aristocratic family win the court.

-

At the same time, in the private room of a restaurant in West City.

"My Xiuran's works are pretty good, right?"

Lu Menghua also helped her nephew to publicize, and called out Duguyuan and other husbands.

"It looks pretty good, but compared to The Legend of the White Snake, it's not as good."

Sun Ruyi said regretfully: "I don't know when the author of The Legend of the White Snake will finish writing the follow-up content."

Even Lu Menghua couldn't deny that The Legend of the White Snake is really better, but she said, "Read Xiuran's book, it's pretty good too!"

Dugu Yuan put it away and said, "That's right, I'll take it home and watch it later."

Jia Xiuying also nodded and said, "Thank you Madam Lu for the book."

They are not very interested, and it is not easy to refuse directly, so they deal with it casually, pick up the books and go home.

Lu Menghua wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to go with them.

However, as soon as I walked outside, I saw a stall surrounded by layers of people.

"It's so lively over there, what happened?"

Dugu Yuan is a lively person, curiously said: "You go and have a look."

The maid beside her went to the stall, and came back after a while and said, "Ma'am, there is someone selling books over there, and they even drew a beautiful picture. By the way, the book for sale seems to be the Legend of the White Snake that Madam has been thinking about for a long time."

"what?"

The ladies exclaimed at the same time.

They just talked about "Legend of the White Snake", so it's coming soon?

Sun Ruyi said, "Let's go over and have a look."

The first thing they saw when they approached was the posters of Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

"Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, they are so beautiful."

Sun Ruyi said excitedly: "Look, it's really Legend of the White Snake!"

Jia Xiuying scolded directly: "Get out of the way!"

The group of scholars brought back by Gao Zhizhou looked back in displeasure, only to see that the wives were well-dressed, apparently from a wealthy family, and they were just poor students, they didn't dare to fight against them, and retreated one after another.

"Sure enough!"

Jia Xiuying flipped through it for a while, and said pleasantly: "It's the follow-up content, and the above is the follow-up content."

What's next?

Last time they watched the first third, they felt itchy and couldn't stop, this time they can finally watch the sequel.

"I bought all your books."

Sun Ruyi said domineeringly.
