I fought back after reselling my engagement

After the printing of "Jingzhai Poetry Collection" was completed, 500 copies were delivered to Su Jingzhai on the same day, and the rest were sent to other places. They were put on sale in bookstores everywhere as early as February 1st, with standard pricing and no deception.

Even so, the price of the book is only 30% of the previous price. In the past, such a collection of poems would cost 180 guilders per copy, but now it only costs 60 guilders per copy, and the paper is better than before.

The people in the movable type printing group began to type the contents of the storybook "Lu You and Tang Wan". It was still 32 pages per page, but the text content was more. The total number of words was about 12,000, divided into two volumes, upper and lower.

The storybook introduced a new genre of "novel", and this is a chapter novel, commonly known as the "storybook". Through this novel, the meaning of punctuation marks is introduced: comma, semicolon, period, question mark, exclamation mark, ellipsis, single quotation marks, double quotation marks, book title marks...

In ancient times, the layout was vertical, from right to left, and the same was adopted this time, but there were also several character illustrations in the storybook, with simple lines to add to the artistic conception.

"Lu You and Tang Wan" was also printed in 5,000 copies, and this time 100 copies were prepared to be sent to the emperor. After all, the author was "Su Zhen" and there was a preface written by Su Jingzhai. It was officially released in the capital, Luoyang and Jiangnan on the first day of March.

"Lu You and Tang Wan" also sold very well. Men, women, young and old, especially girls and wives liked this story very much. It was especially about a loving couple who were forced to divorce. After several years, they met again. Lu You was married and Tang Wan had married someone else.

Lu You's "The Phoenix Hairpin" describes the feeling of being helpless and suffering: "Red tender hands, yellow Teng wine, the whole city is full of spring colors and willows on the palace walls. The east wind is bad, and the joy is thin. A heart full of sorrow, years of separation. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Spring is the same as before, but people are empty and thin, and the red tears are soaked through the silk. Peach blossoms fall, the pool pavilion is idle, although the mountain alliance is still there, it is difficult to entrust a brocade letter. No, no, no."

Tang Wan responded to "The Golden Hairpin": "The world is cruel, people are mean, rain sends the dusk and flowers fall easily. The morning breeze dries up, tears are left, I want to write down my thoughts, I speak alone. It's hard, hard, hard! People have grown apart, today is not yesterday, sick souls are often like swing ropes. The horn sounds cold, the night is late, I am afraid of people asking, I swallow my tears and pretend to be happy. Hide, hide, hide!"

It really earned the tears of talented men and beautiful women.

Jiangnan, Jinling Su family.

Yao's face turned pale as she looked at "Lu You and Tang Wan". This was a very popular book in Jinling recently. It was sold out on the first day of its release. The quantity was limited, and those who got it would lend it to their friends.

The set in her hand was obtained from Su Mo.

"Su Zhen and Su Jingzhai hate our Jinling Su family!"

How could it be such a coincidence? There is a poem in the Hairpin Phoenix that Su Zhen wrote to Su Mo, and now, there is another poem in the book. She, Yao, is the mean and unkind Da Wang in the book, who forced her son and daughter-in-law to divorce. In order to marry her niece from her mother's family to her son, she forced Lu You and Tang Wan to divorce.

These days, Su Mo ignored Xiao Yao and didn't care that she was pregnant. He just immersed himself in pain and wrote countless letters, but all of them were returned to him intact.

The other person has already said that they have nothing to do with each other from now on, but Su Mo still can't let it go.

There was a noise outside.

Yao raised her head and looked out, listening attentively. It sounded like Su Mo's voice, so she immediately put the two books under her.

Su Mo looked haggard, "Did the Madam take my book?"

Su Zhen is Wen Jiang, the Princess Jiarou whom he has been thinking about all the time.

Sister Wen Jiang would never forgive him again. She would not accept his letters or read his letters. No matter how much he said, she would never listen.

He spent a lot of money to buy this set of books from a scholar.

"Lu You and Tang Wan" tells the story of a talented man and a beautiful woman who were forced to separate. It is about him and his sister Wen Jiang. He is Lu You and Wen Jiang is Tang Wan.

"I took it. For her, you have exhausted yourself and become skinny. Su Mo, is it worth it?" Yao said softly.

Su Mo said calmly: "Give me back the book!"

"I'm ruined!"

"You ruined it? Just taking it for a moment, and you ruined it? You are even more angry, right? What is the difference between you and the Da Wang in the book? You want a grandson, and Xiao Yao is pregnant, so why do you still want to keep me under house arrest?

Now, Wen Jiang will never forgive me and has broken up with me. Aren’t you happy?

She didn't leave me much, and you want to take away even the storybook?"

Su Mo covered his mouth and coughed lightly, cough cough...

Yao was panicked because the last time she saw her son was on New Year's Eve, when he left after dinner.

When I saw him again today, he had become thinner and was nothing like before. The once handsome and charming boy now looked like a sickly man.

Su Mo covered his mouth and coughed for a while, and the servant called out, "Madam, please return the book to the young master."

He suffered greatly because of Princess Jiarou's determination.

Because of this book, Su Mo seemed to understand something and felt even more sorry for Wen Jiang. In his opinion, Wen Jiang's pain was no less than his. Those lingering pain and the unforgettable poems that have been passed down through the ages could only be written after experiencing the torment of lovesickness that was worse than death.

Yao said: "I am ruined——"

puff--

Su Mo felt a pain in his heart and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yao exclaimed: "Mo'er——"

The servant boy held Su Mo's hand.

Su Mo looked at Yao, who was running towards him. "A silkworm may not stop spinning silk until it dies, and a candle may not stop shedding tears until it turns to ashes..."

This is also the poem written by Tang Wan in the vernacular novel to express her lovesickness.

In the story, it was Tang Wan who sang, but Su Mo knew that it was written by Su Zhen.

He closed his eyes.

Yao cried out heartbreakingly: "Mo'er——"

Su Mo is unconscious.

The eldest branch of the Su family was in chaos, and someone went out to ask for a doctor.

The old lady was startled.

The clan leader rushed back home.

"Why is your illness so serious?"

The servant replied, "He was getting better a few days ago, but after reading "Lu You and Tang Wan" that day, his condition worsened again. He was in a daze holding the book. I tried to persuade him, but he was thinking about Princess Jiarou all the time. He kept saying: He lost her in the end. Wen Jiang had her Zhao Shicheng..."

The old lady repeatedly knocked the cane in her hand on the ground, "Daughter-in-law, let Mo'er go! You chose Xiao Yao in the past just to protect Yao, and you succeeded, but look at Mo'er now, she is only half dead!"

Yao said nothing.

Blame Princess Jiarou. She has already let go, but it is Su Mo who can't let go.

He never thought that Su Mo would fall so deeply in love with Jia Rou that he couldn't let go.

The doctor was giving Su Mo acupuncture.

Yao was like in a dream. If her son died, she would not know whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl. A clan leader without a son would be driven down sooner or later.

The clan leader has a younger brother. If their family cannot support it, the clan leader’s younger brother will take over as the clan leader.
