dream of red mansion

Chapter 250

Jia Qing got up and left, passed by Lin Daiyu, and found that she was looking at the stage intently, and thought to herself: I never thought that sister Lin would be so absorbed in watching a play.

I also looked at Jiamu, Aunt Xue and others who were watching the play quietly, without being disturbed, and quietly went downstairs and left.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he left, Daiyu, who had been "concentrating" on watching the play, immediately rolled her eyes and looked around.He realized that apart from Jia Mu and others, few people were really watching the play, and Shi Xiangyun had already fallen asleep lying on the table.

It was funny but also slightly boring, then got up and walked back silently.

Zijuan, who was standing behind her, saw her and hurriedly followed her.

"Girl, where are you going?"

Daiyu turned her head and saw Zijuan, and said: "It's so boring inside, I'll come out for a walk, you don't have to follow me..."

It's just that Zijuan is not willing to listen, even though Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion belong to the same family, she is worried and hastily followed Daiyu.

Daiyu originally had some calculations in her mind, and she didn't want Zijuan to follow her.But she also understood Zijuan's kindness, thought about it again, and felt that it was all right, so the master and servant just started strolling around the back house of Ningguo Mansion.

But he said that Jia Qing went out of the second door, and he saw Wang Shun waiting there.This kid has also learned how to manipulate others. Behind him, the two young servants who are younger than him are busy with their hands, but he is the only one with empty hands.

Jia Qing just glanced at the things in the hands of the two men and he understood, "The book has been printed?"

Wang Shun laughed and said, "That's right, because the second master has high requirements, Boss Li didn't dare to print more, he only printed two sets, and asked the younger one to bring in one set to show the second master, if he is not satisfied, he can change it again .”

Jia Qing said: "Bring it to me and have a look!"

Wang Shun hurriedly ordered one of the servants to come forward and open the package in his hand.

"It's not very convenient here, in case it gets dirty..." Wang Shun said.

Jia Qing thought about it, there was no place to put it here, so he said, "Come in, let's talk in the pavilion inside."

When Wang Shun heard this, he helped to put away the books and walked into the second gate.Even if it was him, without Jia Qing's permission, he would not dare to enter the second school easily.

Entering a pavilion inside the second gate, there is a stone table inside, and the two young men hurriedly put everything on it.

One is a box and the other is a package.Needless to say, the box was specially used by Jia Qing to hold manuscripts.So just opened the package.

Brand new, polished and beautiful!
A total of twenty fully bound standard book sets appeared in front of my eyes.Not to mention anything else, but the appearance of this picture is not bad, it is not in vain that he spent such a large sum of money to ask the bookstore to engrave it.

In this era, it is really a huge project to print a set of novels with nearly one million words.This is also because of the existence of movable type printing, there is no need to engrave every word.

In the past, perhaps only the power of the whole country could engrave and print a masterpiece of one hundred characters so quickly.

Pick up the first one, the cover is gray and gold, and on the upper left (because the book title is on the left from the back to the front), the words "Legend of the Condor Heroes" are written in flying and phoenix dances, with a heroic spirit.

When Jia Qing first started writing, he chose this classic martial arts novel.It's not that Jia Qing likes it the most, but he thinks that the spirit embodied in this book is closer to the value orientation of this era, and it is easier to be accepted by people!

Of course, even so, Jia Qing did not completely copy the original work, even if he copied it, he might not remember it... He processed it according to his memory and what he learned in this era!

In the end, nearly a million words were synthesized before this heroic story was finished.

Randomly flipping through a few pages, the paper is soft yet rigid, and the sound of the pages being folded is clear, obviously using high-quality rice paper.

After reading it over and over again, he didn't find anything wrong. Obviously, the bookstore did exactly what he wanted, so he said: "Okay, just follow this pattern, tell Boss Li to print another [-] copies. You will go to Li Yan to withdraw the silver later!"

Speaking of which, Jia Qing was about to re-wrap the book and prepare to take it in.

Wang Shundao: "There is one more thing to tell Erye. The shopkeeper Li said that as long as Erye sells your books in his shop, he is willing to print 1000 sets of ordinary books for Erye free of charge, and give away two more. Lord, [-] taels of silver...

I've never seen a business like this, and I'm still rushing to pay you money!Isn't he afraid that the [-] sets will not be sold out, so wouldn't he be at a loss? "

Jia Qinghehe smiled: "So you can only be an errand runner, while others can be the big boss!"

How much are five hundred sets?not much!

Not to mention far away, in the capital city alone, there are more than a thousand families who can study?
The owner of this Renxuan bookstore must have seen the vast market for Jia Qing's book, and decided that it could become popular, and wanted to take the lead!
It's just that Jia Qing didn't have the idea of ​​making money with it!Unsurprisingly, once this set of books appears on the market, there must be a lot of piracy, and there is no way to prevent it!
I believe that the owner of Renxuan Bookstore doesn't think Jia Qing's book can earn him much money.What he values ​​is fame!As long as "Legend of the Condor Heroes" becomes popular, Renxuan Bookstore, which sold the first batch of books, will undoubtedly be the best publicity.

Brand effect has existed since ancient times.

"You ask him to send 5000 taels of silver, and I promise to only sell books in his bookstore.

I will not use money to print books in the future, he can print it himself, and the money he sells has nothing to do with me! "

In this era, there is no such thing as copyright, but the right of authorship does exist.Jia Qing promised to only sell books with him, which is actually equivalent to selling the copyright to him.

For books, he is not going to cooperate with Shen Congcheng to make money, because it is troublesome and the income is not high!

Wang Shun was a little speechless, and murmured, "5000 taels, will he agree?"

Jia Qing smiled and said, "He will be very happy!"

Jia Qing doesn't need the thousand sets of ordinary books, those books alone are worth 3000 taels of silver, Jia Qing only needs 5000 taels, I believe he will be very happy!
He brought the two young men into the inner house, and went directly to Yipin Hall, where the servant girl came out to pick up the books and manuscripts, and brought them into the study.Then I realized that there were guests at home!
"Sister Lin, why are you here?"

Looking at Daiyu who walked into the study in the East Wing, Jia Qing quickly stood up and led her to a seat.

Daiyu looked around at the layout of Jia Qing's study, and said: "I was tired from watching the play, so I went out for a walk, and came to my second elder brother's place without realizing it, so I came in to sit.

What did the second brother do just now? "

Zijuan who followed her in curled her lips, she had reservations about what their young lady said.

Daiyu said, walked to Jia Qing's desk, looked at the things on the table, and asked curiously: "Is this so?"

Jia Qing smiled and said, "It's just a few books."

In Daiyu's heart there was an emotion that she didn't know how to dissipate, so she said: "Oh, what kind of book is it, maybe let me have a look?"

As he spoke, he reached out and opened the book wrapped in cloth.

"Ah, what an exquisite book!"

Daiyu couldn't help but wondered when she saw the twenty or so books neatly stacked in the package.

Jia Qing said: "My sister wants to see it, of course it can, just to see for me what areas need improvement."

Daiyu couldn't help asking: "From the tone of the second brother, could it be possible that these books were written by the second brother?"

Jia Qing smiled, but before responding, Pei Feng, who was standing beside him, said: "Of course, I watched our second master write these words word by word with my own eyes!

Well written! "

Peifeng couldn't help but look proud!If Jia Qing hadn't asked her not to speak to anyone outside the yard without his consent, she would have been able to spread the word everywhere!

However, in the entire Yipintang, she was the only one who waited in the study all day, so she could basically read and write, and no one else could read.Therefore, no one competed with her for this "single favorite"!
Now that she was finally able to talk about these books with people openly, she was like a person who had been holding her breath for a long time, and she just wanted to speak out all the words accumulated in her chest.It's just that there are tens of millions of languages, but in the end, I don't know how to describe it, so I can only use the words "well written".

But Daiyu didn't intend to communicate with her, so she lightly picked up a book, looked at the flamboyant words on the cover, felt a little wanton and chic, and was already curious in her heart.

Turning to the next page silently, there is nothing, only the eight big characters:

The great hero, for the country and the people!
