Chapter 2513

The three rarely go shopping on non rest days and holidays. In the past, we didn't live in the palace and didn't go to school. That is, there are still many things to do after school and yamen. We still work overtime and have no time to go out at all.

Doctor Lu and Doctor Liu are still locked up in the imperial villa. Man Bao doesn't do many things. She usually handles official business at the imperial hospital in the morning. She occasionally receives a list to see a doctor and goes to the Chongwen hall to repair books in the afternoon, so she can play after she goes to the Yamen.

Bai Shan's time is more flexible. The Imperial Academy says he is busy and can not be busy if he is not busy.

After eating outside, the three decided to stroll slowly to the bookstore.

Bai Erlang had a shop they knew very well. When they arrived at the door, the owner of the bookstore recognized them and immediately greeted them with a smile. "It's Bai Erzi, oh, and Bai Hanlin and Lord Zhou. Please come inside quickly."

The owner smiled and asked, "what do you want to buy? We have new Duanyan here. "

Bai Shan said with a smile, "is there a new book recently?"

The owner asked with a smile: "I don't know what book Bai Hanlin said. There are one travel notes and two anthologies, but none of them are from adults in the court. You know, the anthologies of adults in the court are from the bookstore of the Yamen first. It's good if we can get soup in these bookstores. There are a lot of vernacular books, but..."

He looked at Bai Erlang and sighed, "but there is still too much difference between what he wrote and that of Bai Erzi. Now the best seller in my bookstore is the biography of Xiang Erzi written by Bai Erzi."

For many years, Bai Erlang's book is still the best seller, which shows how popular it is.

Of course, there are reasons why it has been on the best-selling list. First of all, the cultural level of the people who wrote it was not low. Bai Erlang was a student of the Imperial College at that time. After reading books for more than ten years, his cultural level was enough, not to mention Bai Shan and Zhou man;

Secondly, this is a biographical novel with a real story as the background. Xiang Mingxue is real. The king of Yizhou is well-known all over the country. It involves not only poor people's resistance to power, but also elements such as rebellion, family hatred and national hatred. Not to mention those scholars, even the people in the market have no resistance to such a story;

Finally, it also makes an artistic treatment of the real story. Otherwise, Xiang Mingxue would not read a book. When he looked at other people's stories, it was because his writing was mixed with five false, half true and half false, which was particularly exciting.

The capital is a big city. New people come here every year, and a considerable part of them are students who travel to study or come to the imperial examination. Therefore, this book is particularly good to sell. No matter how new it is, it can't catch up with it.

Some people fabricated a character according to Xiang Mingxue in a whim. There were also deep blood feuds and all kinds of strange things. Finally, they took revenge.

The sales were good, but still not as good as this biography.

The bookshop owner thinks that the fundamental reason is the first and second reasons. The book was written by educated people like Bai Erlang, and the story is real.

He wanted Bai Erlang to continue writing, "I heard that Xiang has made some achievements in business. Why don't you write about Xiang Erlang's business?"

Bai Erlang: "... You can't catch a man picking wool all the time? No, No. "

Bai Shan asked him, "do you have time to write a script now?"

Bai Erlang was still a little itchy. He smelled the speech and said, "I've passed the Jinshi examination. I'll pass the examination of the Ministry of officials next year. I don't think it's difficult to pass the examination in my capacity."

At that time, he had married Mingda. At least he was the emperor's son-in-law. It was not difficult to be an official even if he didn't take the official examination.

Bai Shan said, "if you do badly in the exam, don't you lose the face of the emperor and Mingda?"

Bai Erlang couldn't help but tighten his heart. "What he said is also reasonable. I'd better continue reading recently."

After the Jinshi examination, he relaxed a lot. If he could write, he would never do his homework, and if he could read, he would never write. It was very perfunctory, but it was strange that his husband didn't smoke him recently. I don't know if he secretly collected his mistakes, and then held out a big move at one time.

Bai Erlang shook and immediately said, "when I go back, I'll take out the books you read in the examination of the official department, but I'm still itchy and want to write a script."

He said, "if I enter the Imperial Academy, do you think I can repair history books, annotate scriptures, or repair calendar books and agricultural books?"

Bai Shan is silent.

Bai Erlang said, "look, look, do you think I can't do these things? At that time, it must be to find information for the Hanlin people. It's boring to think about it, so it's better to write a script and pass the time when you're bored. "

The owner's eyes were shining, nodded repeatedly and said, "yes, yes, this is meant to kill time. The people who write it are killing time, and the people who read it are also killing time. Do you think it's not more convenient than when you read a few years ago? At that time you were so busy that you could write better in ten days. "

Bai Erlang got excited and became more and more confident. He discussed with Bai Shan Zhou man, "do you think I'm making up a story myself or writing something else?"

Man Bao said, "our lives are very peaceful. What can we write about? Well, let's write the story of going all the way west last year. "

Man Bao's spirit perked up and said, "isn't this the most magnificent business? We've fought a war and brought back the prescription for cowpox."

Bai Shan also nodded. "This is good. We can start with smallpox in xiazhou. Well, we were ordered to go to xiazhou to treat smallpox, and then we went to the western regions to find a prescription."

One side of the owner's eyes lit up and nodded, "yes, yes, just write this, just write this."

At that time, he put up a sign to show how the world-famous female miracle doctor found the formula for cowpox; How did Bai Jinshi deter the enemy from seizing the city, and finally the emperor was granted a Viscount

The owner was excited and said to Bai Erlang, "if Bai Er childe can write it out, I will still split the bill with you."

"That's no good," Bai Er Lang said before he spoke. Bai Shan said, "the Bai Er now is not the Bai ER in the past. Whether it's written or written, it's different. Besides, we can't divide it as before."

So the three people who came to the bookstore came to me to bargain with the owner of the bookstore, and finally got back a contract signed by both sides.

Bai Shan and the three of them are refreshed and happy. They are another income. It's good to have money.

Zhou Lixue, who brought the copied book to hand in the task, witnessed the whole process at the door and was stunned.

Man Bao looked back at them and said hello, "you come and hand in the book. Hand it in, hand it in. We'll wait for you and go home together later."

The three quietly came forward and handed the copied book to the owner.

The owner turned it over easily. After there were no obvious mistakes and omissions, he took out 60 Wen and gave them 20 Wen for each person. This is the price of copying a book.

The owner smiled and said to them, "what book are you going to choose next?"

The three said sadly, "it's still the Warring States policy. The policy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
