Chapter 38

The next thing Fu Xuechen was going to was the bookstore, and he had already made an appointment with shopkeeper Liu yesterday to meet with some teachers who are still working with the bookstore today.

Xie's Bookshop had posted a notice outside the door yesterday, announcing the temporary closure of the bookstore, and today it only opened half of the doors, so no customers came to the door, only a few book masters came one after another, I was invited to drink tea in the central area on the second floor where tables, wooden chairs were temporarily placed, and the shopkeeper Liu She was by my side.

There are a total of four Huaben teachers, all of whom are not over 30 years old. They are quite young. Luo Qi, the oldest, looks the most stable and has the heaviest tonnage. He doesn’t speak much since he came in and sat down. Wu Rui, the youngest, is only 20 years old. The face is tender, and she doesn't speak, only her eyes are agile, slipping around.

Occasionally chatting for a few words, there are two men who have a little friendship with each other. They both wear the same style of Confucian shirts. , one named He Ci, went to Beijing together last year to take the exam and failed, and was unwilling to go back, so he found this job of writing a storybook and stayed in the capital.

Luo Qi is the teacher who has cooperated with Xie's Bookstore for the longest time, and his writing level is the highest among the four. When Xie's Bookstore was still prosperous, it could also be ranked in the top five. passed him, but was rejected by him.

Although Wu Rui is young, his writing is full of aura. Unfortunately, he has only published two volumes of words, his grades are not good or bad, and his reputation is not good.

As serious scholars, Zhou Zhong and He Ci have a solid foundation in writing, but they both started writing scripts after they failed in the exams last year. They have not yet figured out the market preference, so the scripts they write are always a bit embarrassing. They were also left behind, and no one took care of them.

"I don't know if my master asked me to come over, what can I discuss?" Seeing that everyone has arrived, Zhou Zhong couldn't help asking Liu She first.

Liu She told the truth: "My young master is here, he will know, Mr. Zhou, don't worry."

The atmosphere was a little dull, and He Ci had a trace of worry on his brows. He looked around the store with the number of bookshelves plummeting, and felt the confusion ahead: "Can shopkeeper Liu give you an accurate answer, what is this bookstore going to do? Transfer it to someone else still……"

Luo Qi and Wu Rui were also very concerned about this issue, and they both looked at Liu She.

With a smile on Liu She's face, he comforted him: "Don't worry, gentlemen! The shop is only temporarily closed for minor repairs, and it will reopen in the near future. It will not be transferred to others, but it will be managed by my young master. "

The four of them looked at each other, but they didn't become more relaxed. The store didn't plan to close, which is a good thing, but it doesn't mean that the four of them will continue to cooperate with this bookstore, even if the new owner is the son and daughter of the old owner, There is also no guarantee that the new owner will not terminate cooperation with them.

Among the four, Luo Qi is considered to have some accumulation in the story book. If Xie's Bookstore stops cooperating with him, he can also eat in other places. However, after cooperating for a long time, it is inevitable that he will not be happy to change to a new environment and adapt again. .

The other three were a little flustered. They were not well-known in the bookstore, and they might not be willing to use them if they left Xie's bookstore. However, the three of them were not rich. If this way of making money was cut off... OK!OK!

Just when he was feeling anxious, Fu Xuechen led Fu An and finally arrived.

Seeing that the new owner was a boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old, the four Huaben teachers panicked even more.

After exchanging greetings and greetings, each sat down, Liu She introduced to Fu Xuechen one by one the names, origins, and old works of the four bookstores that were the only remaining ones.

Fu Xuechen carefully read the old works of the four storytellers first, and each old work only read a few thousand words at the beginning. She didn't care whether the four people's ability to make up stories was good or bad. What she read was these four people. The style of writing, the cohesion and layout of the beginning and the end.

There is no vernacular these days, and even the storytelling scripts are half-literate and half-white. It seems a bit laborious, but regardless of the structure and plot of the story, the writing of the four people is quite smooth and literary, even Zhou Zhong, He Ci, the two scholars, did not suffer from procrastination.

Fu Xuechen knew it well, and looked up at Luo Qi: "I wonder if Mr. Luo is familiar with the history of the end of Han Dynasty and the beginning of Yan Dynasty?"

That's right!In this time and space, there was the Qin and Han, but there was no Jin after the Han. Instead, a sudden force from the northeast, with [-] cavalry, went south to invade Luyu. In Kyushu, the Great Yan Empire was established.

There are Wei, Shu and Wu, and the Three Kingdoms. After reading Luo Qi's writing style, the first thought in Fu Xuechen's mind was to make out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Luo Qi hesitated a little: "I dare not say that I am familiar with the history of the end of Han Dynasty, but I know the general process and important historical figures."

Fu Xuechen asked again: "Do you know, are there any romances about that period of history on the market? Or related folklore? If so, what are they? In addition, are there any biographies such as 'Three Kingdoms'?"

The four of them glanced at each other, and finally Luo Qi replied: "Back to Shaodong's house, there are no novels about that era in the market, or there are, but there must be few people who care about them, so that we have never heard of them. The same is true for folklore. As for Romance of the Three Kingdoms , we have all heard of this book, but this book is out of print on the market, so I have to read it."

Fu Xuechen was immediately happy: "In this case, Mr. Luo, I will give you a task, and I hope you can do it seriously."

Luo Qi was relieved when he heard that Fu Xuechen gave him a task. If there is a task, at least there will be no danger of unemployment right now. He immediately nodded and said: "Young master, just order it!"

"I'll give you half a month, sir, please do your best to search and collect all the historical documents from before and after Han Xiandi's ascension to the throne, and before the founding of the Dayan Empire. Don't miss any of the records of people and events at that time. As for the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, I I will try to find it for Mr.

Fu Xuechen looked at Luo Qi seriously: "If you feel that half a month is not enough, sir, you can apply for an extension through shopkeeper Liu She, at the latest [-] days, and after you finish collecting information, you can submit a post at Jingbei Houfu Please see, I will discuss the follow-up with the gentleman in detail at that time, is it possible for the gentleman to do it?"

"I will fulfill my mission!" Luo Qi almost patted his chest.

Fu Xuechen nodded with a smile, and then looked at Wu Rui: "I think Mr. Wu's writing is clever and easy-going. The two story books he wrote are all about fox fairies, basilisks and other spirits and strange tales. Mr. Wu is very familiar with such monsters. Is there a soft spot for the script?"

Wu Rui looked a little complacent, but also a little ashamed: "Yes, it's a pity that my ability is limited and I failed to achieve good results. I am ashamed of the world."
