Chapter 80: the book is completely on fire!
Translator: 549690339
It was a big day for the cultural world of Lanshan city.
This was because the second volume of Zhu Wenhua’s ” Mandarin Duck dreams ” was released.
The few bookstores in the city welcomed an unprecedented Grand occasion.
This was not an exaggeration at all. This was because the first volume of this book had already set a sales record and accumulated countless readers. They had been waiting for more than half a year, and they were completely eager.
Almost all the young ladies in the city had come out and were lining up in several bookstores to buy books.
Although this book was printed by Jade Pavilion, it was also sold in other bookstores, but it had to be purchased from Jade Pavilion.
This morning, there were people lining up in every bookstore.
This was especially true for the Jade Pavilion. There were more than 200 people in the queue.
This was almost unimaginable in ancient China, especially after the Song Dynasty. Basically, they didn’t leave their house or even step out.
Of course, most of the ladies from the prestigious families in this world would not personally queue up to buy books. They would send their maids and servants.
However, some girls from well-off families did not have servants at home, so they could only queue by themselves. There were also some ladies from wealthy families who were particularly infatuated with Zhu Wenhua and were eager to see him today. They also showed their faces in public and joined the queue.
The other small stalls and hawkers took the opportunity to promote their fans on the side. For a time, the entire Street in front of the bookstore was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder. It was a rare sight.
When the other scholars in Lanshan city saw this, they could not help but be envious and jealous.
On what basis?
We’re all scholars, but you’re so outstanding?
There are so many girls here, I can’t even finish using one every day in a year.
“The door is open!”
The moment the sun shone on the door, several bookstores opened at the same time.
Then, hundreds of people rushed in, holding silver coins in their hands and desperately snatching the books.
Just two hours later!
All the stocks in the bookstore were sold out.
The speed of sales was really amazing!
The owner of this bookstore secretly regretted that he didn’t stock up more. He quickly sent his staff to the Jade Pavilion to buy books.
He would definitely be ripped off at this time, but it was too easy to sell.
This “Mandarin duck’s dream” was not a book, it was simply walking money.
For a time, those who didn’t manage to buy the book started to complain.
Those who had already bought the books didn’t leave either. They lingered in the bookstore and couldn’t wait to read.
As he read, he was full of praise.
“Zhu lang is really a genius. This is written too well.”
“Right, the opening poem simply described the bitterness and bitterness of the human world.”
“As expected of the number one scholar of Lanshan city.”
the new book is on sale today. Why isn’t young master Zhu here? I was looking forward to meeting him.
master Zhu is not that kind of shallow person. He is the one who is proud and arrogant. He only cares about writing the best work and doesn’t care about the sales at all. He doesn’t even care if people read it.
“That’s right, our young master Zhu is just so proud and virtuous.”
Was Zhu Wenhua here?
Of course, he had come. He had disguised himself as a middle-aged man and squeezed into the crowd.
Seeing countless women go crazy for him and hearing countless words of praise for him, he felt simply too good.
He was secretly pleased, but at the same time, he was disdainful.
How dare you think of me?
You’re just trying to make a name for me, and you’re just a background for me to shine under.
Only a woman with both looks and talent like Zhang Chunhua, who comes from a prominent family, is worthy of me.
Zhu Wenhua thought, Chunhua? Do you see how radiant i am? how many women have gone crazy for me? And I’m only infatuated with you.”
Zhu Wenhua had already forgotten that Shen lang was going to publish a book in Lanshan city.
As long as he said the word, none of the bookstores in the surrounding counties would dare to sell Shen Lang’s books.
After hearing all the praises, Zhu Wenhua left unwillingly.
Everyone had expected that the second volume of ” Mandarin Duck dream ” would sold well, but they did not expect it to be so popular.
......
It was around 9 am.
A stall appeared at the entrance of every major bookstore in Lanshan city. There were a total of 13 stalls.
On each stall, there were hundreds of books. Only the spines of the books were exposed, not the covers.
They were all ‘endless moon and wind’ co-written by Shen lang and Jin mucong.
Zhu Wenhua’s books are being sold in a high-end bookstore, but you’re setting up a stall to sell your books.
It was like a stand-up comedy show in the deyun club.
And the price?
Good Lord, 60 copper coins for a book, 20% more expensive than “Mandarin Duck dream.”
Have you gone crazy thinking about money?
Who was the author?
Lang Ling laughed. He had never heard of any Tom, Dick, or Harry who came out of nowhere.
Young master Zhu Wenhua was so famous, but he only sold a book for 50 copper coins.
You’re selling a book written by an unknown nobody for 60 Yuan?
Is that Xuanji pen of yours embedded with gemstones?
Therefore, the stalls that sold Shen langshu were almost deserted and no one was interested.
Many people were still bustling in the bookstore, waiting for the new stock of ” Mandarin duck’s dream ” to be on sale.
Half of these people were women, while the other half were men.
There weren’t many men who came to buy ” Mandarin Duck dream “, so why were they here? it was because there were many girls.
And at this moment!
Suddenly, he was startled.
A man exclaimed!
“Look outside!”
Immediately, the hundreds of men present looked outside.
Oh my God!
......
On the bookstand outside, a large colored picture appeared.
An unprecedented impact of color!
Zhu Wenshan and Ximen Xianxian were drawn on the big poster. The visual impact of this scene in this world was simply explosive.
In particular, Shen lang had used the Western style of drawing, and it was colored.
Compared to this world’s paintings of beauties, it was many times more awesome.
It was as if a real person had been printed on paper.
No, no.
She looked even better than a real woman.
It was simply a visual bomb.
The temperature in the crowd suddenly rose.
In an instant, the men inside the bookstore rushed out and surrounded the book stand outside.
......
The small bookstall was surrounded by three layers of people.
The scholars were still reserved and only asked about the books.
As for the rascals, they didn’t have to care about their image and gathered under the huge colored poster.
“Hey, why are you looking so close? Do you think you can see more clearly like this? I’ve tried, but it’s useless.”
“And you, why are you sniffing with your nose? What else do you want to smell?”
“Is this the soul of a real person that has been summoned into the paper?”
The book seller shouted.
“” Endless moon and wind “is a masterpiece written by a true noble family.”
“The stories inside all come from real people.”
just look around. It’s free if you don’t look good.
All the scholars and merchants picked up a book and started reading.
As expected, it was incredible!
The cover was already so awesome.
And the title of the book sounded like it had a story to it.
Some of the impatient ones immediately flipped open the book to look for other illustrations, then clicked their tongues.
It was truly breathtaking. Every illustration was different, and every one of them was beautiful and moving.
The scholars present were the most knowledgeable and also the most critical group of people.
While drooling, they turned to the first page disdainfully and read it with a picky and arrogant mentality.
In their eyes, this kind of book was just a drawing book, with only moving pictures, but the text content was destined to be unsightly, even so vulgar that it was full of loopholes.
However, after only a few pages, these scholars were a little stunned.
Whether the story was good or not was another matter, but the literary attainments in this story were really high.
His insight into the ways of the world was really deep.
Almost every paragraph here revealed the slyness and wisdom of the author.
The more he read, the more he realized that this book was amazing.
After reading a dozen pages, he judged that this book was outstanding.
After reading dozens of pages, he could tell that this book was extremely outstanding.
Halfway through, he was completely amazed.
Good book, a rare good book, an extraordinary book!
A good book like this should be bought home and read carefully, over and over again.
It was like old wine or good tea that needed to be slowly savored.
Immediately, these learned men generously donated their money.
Wonderful, wonderful!
He did not expect to find such a classic and outstanding book on the side of the road.
I’ll be floating in the sky!
And these uneducated but literate men.
He specifically found some chapters and flipped to the first paragraph. It was written so well that it was completely different from the previous books.
As for those men who were uneducated and illiterate, they didn’t need to look at the words. They only needed to look at pictures.
Regardless of whether they were scholars with knowledge, businessmen without knowledge, or extremely vulgar mediocre people.
They all took out money to buy.
Some of them were illiterate, but rich men would buy one home.
I don’t need to read, I can just look at the painting.
In short, it didn’t matter if they were learned, unlearned, or even illiterate.
As long as the man had some money, Shen Lang’s book would capture all of them.
......
The same situation was happening at all thirteen bookstalls in Lanshan city!
It was unprecedentedly popular!
Shen Lang’s book was selling like crazy!
It completely suppressed the news of Zhu Wenhua’s new book being released.
As for how many copies he had sold?
Only God knew!
