Scholars unparalleled

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, thought to herself, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised a nice smile.

"It's estimated that you won't be able to make that much money at once with just this paper. When the time comes to write some books, won't it be easier to make money?"

Lu Chensheng touched his chin, and said something in a deep voice.

"Book? What book?"

Seeing that Lu Chensheng seemed to want to write a book, Lin Yu immediately looked at Lu Chensheng intently.

She knows Lu Chensheng's talent, if Lu Chensheng writes a book, it must be no worse.

"Dream of the Red Chamber."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, "This is a book for women to read, and by the way, there is a book for men to read, but it is just right."

"Dream of Red Mansions? Can you elaborate?"

Seeing Lin Yu's interest, Lu Chensheng thought about it and began to talk about this book, just to verify how attractive this book is in this world.

Lu Chensheng's worries were completely superfluous. Not long after the beginning of the chapter, Lin Yu completely fell into the story Lu Chensheng told.

Shouyue, on the other hand, was not at all interested in the story Lu Chensheng told.

But I don't know why but still stayed.

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, if Lin Daiyu in this book was Gong Shouyue, maybe it wasn't because of a sudden change in painting style that she would suddenly become Lin Daiyu pulling up willows.

Fortunately, Shouyue didn't know what was going on in Lu Chensheng's mind, otherwise she would definitely regard Lu Chensheng as a weeping willow and pull it out once to see.

Lu Chensheng also understood later, why didn't Shouyue leave, the other party came here entirely for lunch.

When seeing Lu Chensheng let the obsessed Chu Wu cook, he clearly felt that Shou Yue's eyes lit up.

Lin Yu also stayed at noon and ate the lunch made on the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Linyu, who has never tasted sweet and sour pork tenderloin and shredded cabbage, is obviously conquered, but her manners are still extremely elegant when eating.

After eating, Linyu couldn't wait to pull Lu Chensheng to continue talking about Dream of Red Mansions, until sunset and dusk, and then reluctantly left.

Watching this scene, Shou Yue looked at Lin Yu several times in a strange way.

"Seeing how obsessed the other party is, if you write this book, I'm afraid many people will buy it."

Not only this Shou Yue, but also the two maids beside him, they all looked extremely obsessed.

Shou Yue didn't even know what was so fascinating about such a story.

"It should be so."

Lu Chensheng nodded, looking at the reactions of the three women, Lu Chensheng thought that it would indeed be a big hit.

But by the way, I also need to come up with a copy of the movable type printing technology. I will write a copy first, and then I can print it in batches.

"What about the other book you mentioned earlier?"

Lin Yu then asked.

"The other one, I was thinking about whether to write a martial arts story, but I don't know what to do about Snow Goddess Dragon."

Lu Chensheng thought that when he watched this TV series before, Shangguan Yan in it would have a strand of hair and lightly bite the corner of his mouth every time he drew a sword.

Lin Yu listened to Lu Chensheng talking about this scene, and was slightly stunned for a moment, her eyes lightly glanced at her hair.

"Forget it, you're starting with a woman, it's better to think of another story."

After hearing this, Lin Yu shook her head and said something to Lu Chensheng.

When Lu Chensheng heard it, he felt that what the other party said made sense, so he didn't think too much about it.

"Go back first and let the clansmen process and produce some peach blossom paper. I will rent a shop in the city tomorrow."

With a lot of money from Linyu, Lu Chensheng felt that he could open a shop in it and sell peach blossom paper directly by himself.

Shouyue nodded immediately when she heard that, turned and left.

At this moment, she was thinking in her heart, go back and take a good look, is it as charming as Lu Chensheng said when she bit her hair.

If it is really very good-looking, then she will wander around in the rivers and lakes from now on, this will be her mark.

Lu Chensheng didn't know what was going on in Shouyue's mind. After seeing the other party leave, he thought about what kind of shop he should find in the city tomorrow.

The next day, Lu Chensheng brought Chu Wu to the city together. After searching for several places, he finally found a satisfactory place.

I rented it for three taels of silver a year.

The location here is not bad, and the money required for a year is also a lot.

After Lu Chensheng ordered a door plaque, he returned to Taohuawu, and then he waited for the paper to be ready before opening.

Back in Taohuawu, Lu Chensheng was not idle either. After planting a peach blossom seedling he bought from the city, he practiced basic skills for a while.

After taking a good bath, Chu Wu obediently fetched a pen and ink, and stood aside to study the ink.

"Young master, do you want to write a dream of the Red Chamber?"

Chu Wu's eyes were shining brightly. She liked Lu Chensheng's previous stories very much, and there was no next one until now, but she was very anxious.

Lu Chensheng nodded.

"Yeah, write the latest chapter first, and then you can start printing."

As Lu Chensheng spoke, he began to write.

Lu Chensheng hasn't been writing here for long, and Lin Shan in the distance has already hurried over with a batch of peach blossom paper.

"Master Lu, this is the latest batch of peach blossom paper, take a look!"

Lin Shan respectfully said to Lu Chensheng that their village will depend on Lu Chensheng to make money in the future, so you can't be polite.

"You came just in time. I drew some blueprints here, and you hand them over to Uncle Lin. He will be needed to help print the books then."

Movable type printing will come in handy soon, so it's better to make this thing first.

Chapter 30 Invitation

Lin Shan didn't know that much. Hearing what Lu Chensheng said, after remembering the details Lu Chensheng explained clearly, he went back to the village with the drawings.

Qingming passed in a blink of an eye, and there was a stove in the cottage, which was drying paper continuously, and batches of peach blossom paper were produced.

By the way, dozens of copies of the first volume of The Red Chamber were also printed.

On this day, after discussing with Shouyue and others, Lu Chensheng decided to open the business.

Lin Yu also notified the opening time, and the other party told Lu Chensheng mysteriously that he would give Lu Chensheng a big gift at that time.

As for what the gift was, Lu Chensheng was not very clear.

A piece of red cloth was lifted, and the plaque of the shop was immediately exposed, which read: Peach Blossom Square.

"Today is the official opening!"

The goods in the store have been placed neatly, stacks of peach blossom paper are placed inside, apart from this, there are also a few printed copies of A Dream of Red Mansions also placed in a conspicuous position.

The common people on the street just glanced at this side curiously, and then left separately.

There are not many people who can afford peach blossom paper.

Lu Chensheng didn't mind either, he asked Linyu to promote it earlier, presumably there will still be a lot of customers after the opening.

Shouyue stayed in the shop, looking forward to the newly opened situation.

But at this moment, a large group of talented scholars in Confucian shirts came in the distance.

"I heard that the peach blossom paper from before is now open for sale?"

"Miss Linyu said so, but I don't know if there is such a cheap price? The key is that the peach blossom paper that Linyu sent before is indeed extremely unusual in texture."

A group of talented scholars spoke one after another, and arrived in front of the shop in a blink of an eye.

His eyes swept away slightly, and after seeing that there were indeed stacks of peach blossom papers in the shop, he suddenly regained his energy.

"Boss, how do you sell this peach blossom paper?"

All the talents pointed to the peach blossom paper on the shelf and said loudly.

"A five copper coin."

Seeing the business coming to Lu Chensheng's door, Lu Chensheng also regained his energy slightly.

All the talents turned their heads when they heard the words, but saw Lu Chensheng standing at the door, and immediately frowned slightly.

Why is it Lu Chensheng?

Forget it, I just came to buy paper, who cares what?

Everyone thought of this, and seeing that the peach blossom paper was really cheap, they immediately took out copper coins.

"I need a knife."

One knife here is about one hundred pieces, and one knife is worth five hundred copper coins!

"I want two knives!"

"Give me three swords!"

The degree of consumption of paper by gifted scholars is astonishing.

Four books and five classics, writing questions and writing poems, etc., the paper consumption speed is like eating.

Buying now is also buying big.

Lu Chensheng's face was full of smiles, and he nodded again and again to send the papers in front of these talents, while Chu Wu was responsible for collecting the money.

After the gifted scholars bought the paper, they left in a hurry.

Not long after the talents left, a group of talented women came in the distance. Chad glanced at Yingying and Yanyan, but they really attracted the attention of many people.

The leading woman, Lu Chensheng, looked carefully, and it was Lin Yu.

Looking at it like this, this is probably the big gift the other party said to him.

Lu Chensheng was stunned.

"I heard that the first volume of A Dream of Red Mansions is out?"

Lin Yu walked up to Lu Chensheng gracefully, his eyes full of anticipation.

After hearing about the Dream of the Red Chamber before, she has been thinking about it until now. She heard that Lu Chensheng will sell the first volume of the Dream of the Red Chamber today, and she has been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"Well, the first volume is indeed out."

Lu Chensheng nodded, and pointed to the cabinet beside him, which contained the first volume of A Dream of Red Mansions.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly took a copy.

"Xiao He, pay."

Hearing this, Xiao He quickly picked up her small bag and began to pay.

When Lu Chensheng thought of the time when the other party took out a handful of broken silver with a small hand, he seemed a little horrified.

A big family is a big family, and this maid is so eclectic.

"One volume only costs six hundred copper coins."

Six hundred copper coins is not a small amount. There are not a hundred sheets of this paper, and the main thing to sell is the content inside.

Xiao He handed over a tael of silver.

It's also fortunate that I have made a lot of money just now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find such a tael of silver.

The rest of the talented women also came in at this moment, reached out to take a copy of the Red Chamber, and told their maids to pay.

In order to promote Lu Chensheng before, Linyu told them all about the Red Mansion that Lu Chensheng said.

At this moment, everyone has become Lu Chensheng's loyal book fans.

Moreover, they also knew from Lin Yu's mouth that the poet who wrote about planting peach trees every year and blooming when he was heartbroken was actually Lu Chensheng.

As soon as such poems came out, their impression of Lu Chensheng was greatly changed.

In addition to Lu Chensheng's previous, people don't know where to go, which made them completely label Lu Chensheng as infatuated but talented.

At this moment, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lu Chensheng one after another, making Lu Chensheng a little hairy.

All the girls still don't feel that, listening to Lin Yu's words, the Dream of the Red Mansions seems to be written by Mr. Lu too!
