Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

Chapter 421: Flowers bloom on the other side of the ocean, and a comet appears across the sky!
There are a lot of things in the package.

In addition to the letters, there was also a thick stack of newspapers and four beautifully wrapped books.

After seeing this, Wu Youde suddenly realized. No wonder it felt a bit heavy when he held it just now.

The combined weight of these four hardcover books weighs several kilograms.

I read the book first and took a quick look at the cover.

"Who Moved My Cheese" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", two books each.

The cover of "Who Moved My Cheese?" is in cartoon style, with two cute dwarfs and two mice drawn on it, and a big piece of golden cheese in the middle.

Yes, this cover is in color.

The packaging of the book is impeccable.

As for the later "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the style of painting is different. On a deep blue night, above the pointed castle, there is a man in a black cloak riding a broom.

The magical style is coming!

The same is,

Under the titles of both books is an author: Qinglong
In all of Wu Youde's English novels, the author's name is still his Chinese pen name, and he did not use his English name "Alan" or come up with a new pen name.

As for using the original name?
Then forget it.

In this day and age, Orientals are regarded as symbols of barbarism, ignorance and backwardness in the eyes of Westerners. Not many people would be interested in a work with an Oriental name on it.

Many people may put the book down as soon as they see that the author is an Oriental, and then look for other works of interest.

Because Wu Youde had no choice but to temporarily conceal his true identity.

He also emphasized this point to Margaret in his letter, asking her not to reveal his true identity to others and just say that he was her friend.

Seeing these two books,

Wu Youde understood what Margaret meant when she said in her last letter that she wanted to give him a surprise. He thought it must be these two physical books.

He looked under the cover.

I found the same name written below the covers of both books: Oxford University Press.

Oxford University Press.

Wu Youde was no stranger to this publishing house, which was one of the well-known and long-established publishing houses in the United States.

If he had not known Margaret, Wu Youde would have been ecstatic, proud and honored to have his works published by Oxford University Press.

This publishing house is awesome, and being published by it is a kind of recognition.

But now, Wu Youde felt calm and not excited at all.

Margaret is a princess. Is it a big deal for a princess to ask a publishing house to publish two books?

It's just a matter of talking.

But when he saw the pile of newspapers, Wu Youde was startled, and then he grinned...

The Times: "Who Moved My Cheese? is startlingly mediocre."

Financial Times: "Who Moved My Cheese? A fairy tale every adult should read!"

The Sun: "Take a look at this book, a good book to keep on your bedside table and read for the rest of your life - Who Moved My Cheese? "

……

In addition to comments from some well-known newspapers and magazines in the United States, there are also comments from some celebrities in these well-known newspapers and magazines.

For example, the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II: "I love this story so much. I think not only adults should read it, but children should also read it."

There is also the Queen’s husband, the Prime Minister, experts and scholars in various fields, and so on.

Prince Philip: "This little story made me read it ten times and think about it for ten days. I will read it again."

Churchill: "Life does not develop according to one's wishes. Change may come at any time, but facing change positively will allow you to find better cheese. It is really a blessing in disguise."

George Orwell: "There is great wisdom in this fable!"

……

Wu Youde flipped through the pages one by one and found that in addition to comments from some upper-class people in the Eagle Country, there were also remarks from celebrities from other European countries.

For example, Günter Grass from Germany,
He said in the World News: "Who Moved My Cheese has zero literary value, but it will never be outdated and will guide the direction of life!"

Günter Grass is a big name in the world literary world. A few years later he would write a work called "The Tin Drum".

And then won the Nobel Prize in Literature!

In addition to him, Wu Youde also saw a familiar person.

Erwin Schrödinger.

Well, he's the guy who came up with the famous experiment 'Schrödinger's cat'.

Erwin Schrödinger said: "Change is the only constant! This is true in life and in science!"

See here,

Wu Youde was immediately delighted. He had not expected that he could give some inspiration to the founder of quantum mechanics. He was in a good mood and turned another page to continue reading...

The top twenty or thirty newspapers were all filled with reviews of "Who Moved My Cheese?", all of which were positive, and each person had a different perspective.

It fully illustrates that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.

Look at the end,

These are reports on "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in several newspapers, including some excerpts from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" serialized in the "London Post".

As for comments from celebrities, there are some, but not as many as in "Who Moved My Cheese?", but the weight is still not low.

Queen Elizabeth II: "Love conquers all!
This world is so interesting, magic and growth are intertwined to create a magnificent fantasy picture, which makes me dream of bigger and more beautiful possibilities. It is really fascinating!
Thanks to my dear sister, who recommended these two excellent works to me! "

Nicolette Jones, editor-in-chief of The Sunday Times:

The Harry Potter series is already a classic. It makes good use of the tradition of children's literature and also makes it very profound.

One sign of whether a children's book is a classic is whether it can appeal to adults. The Harry Potter series of novels clearly has this feature.

Like all the best children's books, "Harry Potter" provides endless fun for adults who are still kids at heart.

Most importantly, Harry Potter allows readers to see the power of virtue in an immoral age.”

Günter Grass of Germany:

“Qinglong’s work is also very good!

Unlike that fable, this book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has literary qualities.

If you only read one book, you may not be able to understand much, but if you read the whole book, you can see that the structure is huge and it is not a story with a simple beginning and an end.

Only with a certain level of literary literacy and logical ability can one write such a work. "

……

At the end,
The London Journal wrote: "He emerged like a comet, shining without a sound, as outstanding and talented as he is - Qinglong!"

The Times was more direct.

"Who is Qinglong? Where is he? I want to interview him!"

……

I finally finished reading a thick stack of newspapers.

Wu Youde picked up the sour plum soup and took two sips. It was sour, sweet, cool and refreshing. It was really pleasant to drink it in the hot summer.

"Old Wu..."

Le Wenyuan was reading the newspaper that Wu Youde had read. He spoke with difficulty and stared at Wu Youde. "This... Wow! You are so awesome!!"

Le Wenyuan swallowed twice, then calmed down a little, and said excitedly: "The queen has spoken for you, saying that your work is very interesting and beautiful!
Damn, damn, damn! !
And Churchill, he is a stubborn old man, I didn't expect him to say you are beautiful...

There are so many European celebrities!!

Old Wu, did you write these two books? ? ? ? ? "

Wu Youde glanced at him and asked, "If it wasn't written by me, could it be written by you?"

“…Um…”

Le Wenyuan still found it hard to accept and unbelievable. He frowned and looked at the newspapers, then turned to look at Wu Youde, and something in his heart moved.

"Hey Old Wu?"

"Tell me, could this be the support that the princess is looking for you? If the princess asks, these people shouldn't refuse..."

Wu Youde's face darkened, "Bullshit!"

"Hehehehe...it was just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously? Old Wu, you are such a boring person."

Le Wenyuan said happily, then picked up a copy of "Who Moved My Cheese" and a copy of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and put them behind him.

“I want these two books and will take them back to read later.

I'd like to take a closer look at your book and see if it's really that good or if you're just exaggerating."

Wu Youde waved his hand, indicating that it was up to him.

He picked up the envelope and tore it open, ready to read Margaret's reply...

This reply is very important.

why?

Because in his last letter to Margaret, Wu Youde told her something, which was what he said he didn't want to hide from her when they parted in Kowloon that day.

"Dear, I'm sorry~"

"We met a little late, but it doesn't matter, we finally met, right? This is much better than never meeting in this life!"

"Well, I'm married."

"But what I want to say is that I love my wife, and I love you just as much. My love for you is no less than that for others!"

"In the future, I will live in Kowloon, where we still have our ancient Eastern tradition of marrying multiple wives. I sincerely hope to marry you by then. I will spend my whole life loving you, caring for you, and making you happy..."

……

Wu Youde wanted to see Margaret's attitude towards this matter.

Although he didn't read it at the moment, the fact that Margaret sent so many things clearly showed some attitude.

Therefore, Wu Youde was still relatively relaxed.

Open the envelope,

Surprisingly, there was only one page of paper inside.

This was the first time this had happened since I started to correspond with Margaret. In the past, Margaret would write at least six or seven pages, and sometimes even more than ten pages.

This is the first time that this has happened with just one page of paper.

Wu Youde's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if his judgment was wrong.

He quickly scanned the letter and finished reading it in less than two minutes, and immediately felt a little relieved.

how to say……

Margaret was indeed angry!

Because she was angry, she wrote a one-page reply. This is her attitude!

But, that’s all.

In the letter she said: "I am very sad, I feel like a beautiful fairy tale has been shattered..."

"You created this fairy tale for me, and you also broke it with your own hands. My heart aches, but I don't blame you."

"No one knows what will happen in the future, or who they will meet in the future..."

"Then, leave it to time!"

That’s it. The letter is very short, with only a hundred or so words.

After reading it, Wu Youde pondered for a while, and then he relaxed completely. He did not explicitly refuse, which was his attitude.

After all, she is a princess, she has pride and reserve!
It's impossible to just say, "Okay, your wife is fine, as long as you marry me..."

That would be too undignified.

Wu Youde put away the letter and looked at the two beautifully packaged thread-bound books and began to wonder what the current situation of these two works was.
Since Margaret didn't say anything, he could only analyze and speculate based on the information he had.

Judging from the comments in those newspapers,
These two books were successful and caused quite a stir in Europe; otherwise, those celebrities would not have commented on them.

So, are these two books only serialized in newspapers, or are there already publishing houses that are really going to publish them?
Did Oxford University Press really print and publish these two books and sell them in bulk?

It wasn't that Margaret had a few copies printed just for her own amusement.

After thinking for a while,

Wu Youde felt that the former possibility was more likely.

These two books have caused such a great response in European countries that it is impossible for those publishing houses not to realize the value of these two books.

Well, that's definitely the case.

Without realizing it, I have already published two books in Eagle Country?

Thinking of this,

Wu Youde was very happy and began to think about how to reply to Margaret.

Margaret was in a bad mood and could write a reply of about a hundred words, but Wu Youde couldn't. He had to double and double the length.

We also have to highlight sincerity!
Wu Youde is the best at this job...

After sending Le Wenyuan away, he began to reply to the letters.

First of all, I am grateful, grateful to Margaret for her help. Without her help, my works would not sell so well, have so many readers, and be loved by so many people.

The second was praise, saying that Margaret was not only smart and beautiful, but also capable.

It’s amazing that both books became popular in Europe so quickly!

Finally, it’s time to express my feelings…

Wu Youde began to imagine how happy it would be when he announced his relationship with Margaret to the public and received the blessings of the Queen and thousands of people.

He wrote page after page with great enthusiasm.

at the end,
Wu Youde also said that he was willing to give all the proceeds from these books to his dear little baby Margaret free of charge, and persuaded Margaret to accept it.

He said that the inspiration for these two books came from Margaret, and he wrote them for Margaret.

sincere!

Nothing is more sincere than money!
Wu Youde was not afraid that Margaret would really accept it. If she really wanted it, then she would take it.

He has many ways to make money. Although the future profits of these two books will be as high as billions of dollars, for him, a great time traveler emperor...

That's nothing!

The girl is real, and she is a genuine princess!
