"The first volume uses contemporary essays to create a reputation, and the second volume contains essays that cover everything and is open to all people... There are more people buying books downstairs!" Seeing this grand occasion, Xiao Nanxing was deeply impressed: "The Imperial Concubine is really a business wizard!"
Xie Lingxi's eyes passed over the lively scene downstairs.
He had a clear feeling for the first time that most of the news in this volume was to attract attention, but there were also some that she wanted to spread.
This is public opinion and popular sentiment.
This little girl was really wild, and it was getting more and more beyond his expectations.
She not only points her sword at the court, but also uses the people as her boat.
It is absolutely impossible to know this method from birth. At least you have to be the head of a certain family and have been in the struggle for imperial power for ten years to have such vision and authority.
Is there some expert advice behind her?
Xie Lingxi thought of the Bai family...
I don't know how many people have benefited from her kindness. It would not be surprising if some people secretly take care of Jiang Rong because of this.
Xie Lingxi's eyes fell on the last article.
Zhou Hongyang is a villain who is determined to retaliate, and he will definitely find trouble for Jiang Rong.
"Xiao Nanxing, send a car to Wanjuan Study Hall."
"yes!"
……
In the capital city, there is a lively teahouse.
Jiang Rong was dressed in plain white clothes and a white gauze curtain hat to cover her face.
There are tea soup and exquisite pastries on the table.
Today, she went to Xie's shop to check the accounts as usual. She passed by the teahouse and went upstairs to have a cup of tea and take a rest.
This teahouse is close to Bailu Academy, and most of the people here are scholars. Everyone had a copy of "Qianqiu", and the discussion was very intense.
There is nothing controversial about the first volume.
The points they dispute are all in the next volume.
"Selected articles from time to time are combined into one book with these trivial matters. It's so insulting to elegance!"
"Brother Liu's words are wrong. The first thing in the next volume is the war in Northern Xinjiang. How can it be said to be a trivial matter? We, the scholars, are concerned about national affairs, family affairs, and world affairs. We should understand everything."
"That's right. Although I knew that the war in Northern Xinjiang would not be easy, after reading this article, I realized that even though it was a great victory, every inch of it was fought with blood..."
"To be fair, the second volume contains important matters and some trivial matters. But the first volume is equivalent to the number of pages of an ordinary book, and there is no extra price for the extra second volume. You don't have to read it if you don't like it. The Master said, choose the good. Just follow it. Let’s just choose where it’s beneficial and learn from it.”
"These women and children are short-sighted. They only want to sell some interesting stories to attract ignorant people and make more money. Isn't it lowering my status to argue with a woman who smells like copper?"
……
"How can this person talk?" Jade was angry: "Don't read it if you have the ability. Why are you looking down on people while reading our books!"
Jiang Rong drank tea calmly, "It doesn't matter. No matter how much he looks down on you, he still has to pay? We won't lose anyway."
"Prince Princess, you are so open-minded." Jade praised.
Jiang Rong smiled lightly and said nothing.
Whether it's denigration or support, it doesn't matter.
Only scholars would buy this book. If you want ordinary people to be interested in it, you must write the next volume.
Do you think she is short-sighted? Gee, that's not good.
I really hope there can be more "great wisdom" like this.
……
The first restaurant in the capital, Zhen Gourmet Restaurant.
Zhou Hongyang walked into the restaurant with a swaggering step. As soon as he walked into the lobby, someone recognized him and exclaimed:
"This is the son of the Minister of Punishment..."
The next moment, the whole house was silent.
Most of these diners were holding a book and discussing something intensely.
Upon hearing the words "son of the Minister of Justice", everyone in the hall looked at Zhou Hongyang uniformly, with different expressions, as if they were looking at monkeys.
"Master Zhou, you are here, please come in!" The waiter came up to him quickly, but his eyes looked a little strange.
"What do you think this young master is doing? Don't you want your eyes anymore?" Zhou Hongyang snorted coldly.
All the diners suddenly looked away and whispered in low voices.
His father is the Minister of Punishment. Most of the people here are not as high-ranking as his father, but they dare not offend him in person...
There was only a young man in Feiyu uniform, holding a book he had just bought in one hand, and asked with a smile, "Zhou Hongyang, I heard that you raped a common girl and had your legs broken, is it true?"
"Chu Jue——" Zhou Hongyang's eyes fell on his face and he gritted his teeth.
If another person mentioned this to him, he would break the other person's legs. But Chu Jue's father is the emperor's confidant, so the two sides are probably evenly matched...
Furthermore, there were three captains sitting in the Western Zhou Dynasty wearing flying fish uniforms and holding embroidered spring knives.
Everyone in Mingxin Division can fight.
He can't defeat these thugs.
"It's just a rumor, but it's just some misunderstanding with the Northern Palace." Zhou Hongyang said vaguely.
With so many people in the Western Zhou Dynasty, how could he openly admit that he had tried to rob a civilian girl, but was beaten instead.
"But the book says that you and your father were beaten out by Mrs. Xie. Tsk tsk, I have never seen a high-ranking official of the second rank being kicked out. I am very curious. Please tell me about your father. How did you roll and crawl? Let me learn a lot." Chu Jue said, laughing.
The diners who were watching the excitement couldn't help but smile with their sleeves covered.
For a time, the whole restaurant was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Apart from……
Zhou Hongyang.
Zhou Hongyang is about to explode! Never have I been so humiliated!
He said angrily: "Chu Jue, I and you are not in conflict with each other, so don't spread rumors and cause trouble!"
"It's not that I'm spreading rumors about you. It's clearly written in this book. If it's false, then quickly ask your father to read a copy of Beiwangfu. If they fight, I'd love to see the excitement!" Chu Jue watched the excitement with great interest. It's not a big deal.
Zhou Hongyang was confused. what book?
The window of the private room on the second floor opened, and the guest he had made an appointment with today waved to him, motioning for him to come up quickly.
Zhou Hongyang gave Chu Jue a hard look and hurried up to the second floor.
As soon as he went upstairs, the suppressed laughter of everyone downstairs turned into a roar of laughter.
"Boss, why did you offend Zhou Hongyang for no reason?" a captain couldn't help but ask.
Chu Jue flipped through the second volume of "Qianqiu" with great relish, "I can scold him if he wants to rob people's women. If he hadn't been wearing these clothes, I would have beaten him. This book is really interesting. I thought after reading the first half Sleep, the second half is really exciting.”
The school captain silently thought to himself, scholars regard the first volume as a treasure, and only someone like you who has skipped school since childhood despises it.
……
Second floor, private room.
Shen Wenyuan handed a volume of "Qianqiu·Volume 2" to Zhou Hongyang, and then turned to the last few pages: "Master Zhou, you may not have read this book. This book is spreading rumors about you, so please let your father seal this book as soon as possible. Let’s study at home.”
Zhou Hongyang looked down and his head was filled with smoke. He finally understood what happened just now.
"You bastard, which study here dares to organize this young master! I want them all to go to jail!" Zhou Hongyang said angrily.
