Global Update [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 164

As the king of a country, people inside and outside the palace would always pay attention to Emperor Liang's daily life, eating habits, and even some small movements and habits that he himself hadn't noticed.

The first person to notice Emperor Liang's abnormality was naturally the eunuch who accompanied him.

Although he didn't know who Mei Qingyun was, when Emperor Liang was asked to turn over the sign that night, the eunuch noticed the book in his hand and secretly wrote down his name.

After learning that this book was the only item sold in Mirror Bookstore, he sent someone to bring himself a copy outside the palace, wondering what kind of magical power it had that could fascinate His Majesty so much.

It is no secret that Emperor Liang was obsessed with story books. Since even the eunuchs noticed it, the concubines in the harem were naturally moved by the news. For a while, almost everyone in the harem had a book printed by Jingshufang. There are some dumbfounding.

"Does the queen also like to read this kind of story?" During an afternoon chat, he asked curiously, "Although Daliang also has female officials, I thought that women would prefer to watch romantic dramas."

"I don't know what my sisters think," the queen smiled and lowered her eyes, and poured him a cup of tea. "As far as the concubine himself is concerned, when I read this story, apart from admiring Mr. Mei's character, I just admire him. The love between Qian Xiaoyun and Qian Xiaoyun. Although it does not conform to the etiquette and does not approve of her reckless behavior, the concubine still feels that a girl like Qian Xiaoyun is brave and deserves a good home."

Daliang now also encourages free love, but this trend has not blown into the deep palace yet.The queen was born in a noble family, and she was arranged for her future life path since she was a child, learning all kinds of etiquette and rules. As a result, when she married Emperor Liang, the more open-minded Emperor Liang thought her rigid and boring.

Thankfully, despite his personality differences, he ultimately gave the Queen the status and respect she deserved.Moreover, Emperor Liang didn't have much interest in Kuo Na's harem, instead he was playful, greedy and lazy like a child.From the painstaking admonition at the beginning to the laissez-faire later, the queen would follow Emperor Liang as long as he didn't delay his business. This way, the relationship between the two has eased a lot.

Therefore, in the following ten years, they gradually became a couple who respect each other as guests.

"It's really rare that such words can come out of your mouth." Emperor Liang, who was sipping tea, raised his eyelids and gave her a surprised look.

The queen smiled and asked back: "Does your majesty think that what the concubine said is wrong?"

"That's not true. I'm quite happy that you have such an idea." Emperor Liang said.

He considered it for a while, and asked politely: "Actually, I plan to go to the outskirts of Beijing to stay with the emperor for a while recently. I wonder if the empress would like to accompany me?"

He would come to ask himself, which really surprised the Queen.

She covered her lips with a handkerchief, and stared blankly at Emperor Liang: "I thought that you would want some younger sister to accompany you..."

It was the first time Emperor Liang saw such a groggy expression from his usually calm and introverted empress.

They are not young anymore. Although the queen has taken good care of her skin, her skin is still fair and delicate, but she can still see some years of weather from the corners of her eyes and brows.But now when she looked over with her eyes wide open, Emperor Liang seemed to see the shy girl sitting next to the big red wedding bed more than ten years ago, blushing and trying to be calm.

This is his queen.

Thinking about it, Emperor Liang couldn't help softening his heart, he took the queen's hand and said, "You are my queen, what are you talking about?"

The queen's other hand tightened the veil, she lowered her eyes to stare at Emperor Liang's big hand wrapping her five fingers, her eyes were a little moist, but she still resisted the soreness of her nose, and raised a gentle smile at Emperor Liang. Smile: "Okay. Besides Your Majesty and my concubine, which prince or princess are you going to take?"

"Those little guys are too noisy, don't take them with you." Emperor Liang said without thinking.

He had just heard a new term from Jing Xinglan's mouth, called "the world of two people", and he couldn't wait to try it with the Queen.Husband and wife as companions, plowing the fields, leisurely and carefree... These words are definitely more attractive to Emperor Liang who has lived in the deep palace for a long time than any rare treasures.

But he glanced at the empress with a slightly embarrassed expression, and compromised: "Forget it, I also know that you miss the prince, so just take him with you. But other children are not allowed."

The queen suddenly showed her face: "Your Majesty is wise, this concubine will go and tell the emperor the good news."

Emperor Liang snorted: "Don't forget to ask him to bring his homework! Even if you don't go to class, you should study hard, don't really play wild in the countryside."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

In the harem, the atmosphere today was rare and harmonious. Even the eunuch standing outside the palace on duty listened to the loud laughter coming from inside, and the serious expression on his face relaxed a lot.

But compared to the palace, the mood of the booksellers in Daliang City is not so good.

"What? A thousand copies?"

When he heard the numbers reported by the oddballs in the shop he sent to investigate, the bookseller thought he was hearing hallucinations behind his ears. He widened his eyes in disbelief, and asked again: "Are you sure you heard it right? Qianben? Today is the second day of opening!"

"Boss, it's not a thousand copies," the handyman Kuhaha replied. Before the bookseller Matsushita scolded him for lying about the military information to scare people, he corrected him, "I said 1000 and two hundred copies. Now Jingshufang Bian has closed the shop to rest, because all the goods in the shop are sold out, and Boss Duan said that there will be [-] reprinted copies coming out tomorrow."

The bookseller gasped, and slumped down on the wicker chair.

"I knew it," he murmured absent-mindedly, "I knew it..."

He has been in this business for so many years, and he has read countless good books and bad books, but yesterday he was able to keep seeing the store closed. Not good!

He felt as if he had been divided into two halves with clear boundaries, and the half was sharp and experienced, clamoring that the momentum of Jingshufang could not continue, whether it was poaching Yan Heqing or suppressing them severely, they The bookseller must take measures in time, otherwise it will be too late; the other half is sighing sincerely, as expected, the expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move. I know that this person has a solid foundation in writing, which is completely different from the new compilations of Romance that are currently on the market.

This is a truly complete story, and Mei Qingyun is a character with flesh and blood.Although the world said that colleagues were enemies, the booksellers had to admire Yan Heqing's ability to mobilize readers' emotions, which had definitely reached the pinnacle of proficiency.

Just a few words, people can't help but fluctuate with the emotions of the people in the book. Just the conversation between Mei Qingyun and Qian Xiaoyun, in which the description of the expressions, actions and words of the two people, the bookseller can't help it. I watched it over and over six or seven times.

One point is too long-winded, one point is less dissatisfied, one is a down-and-out but ambitious teacher, and the other is a hot-tempered only daughter of a wealthy family who dares to love and hate. Although there is no love story to sing or cry about, but It was this kind of tugging and interaction that made the bookseller involuntarily think of the sweet memories of chasing his wife when he was young, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Boss," the handyman saw that he had been in a daze since he sat down, and after waiting for a while, he still couldn't help asking, "Don't we...do we need to do something?"

It stands to reason that if a book has a tendency to explode, then other booksellers in Daliang City would have heard the news and rushed to seize the market for this subject.

But the problem now is that they dare not grab this market!

It's not because the booksellers have no money to hire gunmen to write for them, nor is it that they suddenly decided to support original works because of their conscience. Are you rushing to court death?

"The risk is great, but the profit is also great," the bookseller came back to his senses, and sighed, "but I don't have the guts anymore, let's wait and see what other bookstores plan."

But the bosses of other bookstores also think so, so a very strange phenomenon has been created—Mirror Bookstore has made a lot of money from the first printing, reprinting and reprinting of "The First Aspect of Rebirth" , the bookseller next to him was red-eyed, but there was nothing he could do about it, he could only watch Jingshufang earn the money.

With no other competing products, this book quickly became popular throughout Daliang City.

And when the princes and nobles of Daliang learned that even Emperor Liang had read this book and loved it very much when their concubines went back to their natal family to visit their relatives, almost every one of them got a book and began to study and read it, whether it was for following the trend. It doesn't matter whether it's flattering or not, in short, the character "Yan Heqing" is indeed famous among the nobles.

The younger generation praised the book, but among the older generation, it was more divided.

After reading it, some courtiers felt that the book was worthy of reading as a storybook, but it could only be used as a pastime, and it should not be taken seriously; some people thought that Yan Heqing was too bold, and the purpose of writing this book was actually to criticize the government. Wolf ambitions; finally, the diehards with the smallest number but the most noisy, grandiosely proposed to Emperor Liang to ban the book in the early court, and arrested Yan Heqing and sent him to the government for punishment.

And when Emperor Liang rubbed his temples and asked him why, the minister said loudly, "Because this person is talking nonsense without any basis, and he will only poison future generations, causing endless disasters!"

His old enemy next to him immediately smiled and said: "Look at what Mr. Li said, I'm afraid it wasn't because your son was severely criticized by the doctor in the Taixue two days ago, and he became angry after finding this book from the bottom of the textbook, and then blamed it on Mr. Yan Heqing, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty burst into laughter, and the inside and outside of the hall were filled with a happy atmosphere.

"You! Simply, simply..."

The minister stared at him with a red face, his lips were trembling with anger, and he was speechless for a long time.

Emperor Liang also laughed for a while, and finally stopped smiling. He said seriously: "All my lovers are the pillars of the country. I still hope that you can devote your thoughts to improving people's livelihood and strengthening our national power. I always pay attention to public opinion and understand the sentiments of the people, but it is better not to bring up such trivial matters in the court in the future."

Seeing that Emperor Liang had said so, the minister who proposed to punish Yan Heqing could only purse his lips tightly and keep silent.

Although what Emperor Liang said sounds reasonable at first glance, the courtiers are also smart people. Combined with the rumors from the palace, many people who were dismissive of this book before have also changed their attitudes. , I immediately sent the servants of the family to buy a copy and come back to read it.And after hearing that the servant came back empty-handed and reported that Jingshufang had been out of stock for a long time, he was even more surprised——

Is Yan Heqing's book so popular in Daliang City?

But in fact, the sales scope of Jingshufang is no longer limited to a city.

As the capital of a country, Daliang City is the benchmark of the whole country.From clothing, jewelry and makeup to cultural trends in food and daily life, all fashions first emerged from Daliang City, and eventually their influence even radiated to a circle of small countries around them, and then spread to the ocean through the Silk Road and prosperous maritime trade. the other side.

It can be said that in this era, all countries imitate Daliang, and the people of Daliang imitate the nobles living in the capital.

Therefore, when Qiao Jing was writing quietly in the countryside, he would often see vendors passing by Liujia Village holding a book of his own, or simply coming to Jing Bookstore to purchase.

Affected by them, the head of Liujia Village was fooled into buying a copy, but unfortunately he couldn't read, so he had to bring the book to Qiao Jing: "Little Qiao, I heard from a passing businessman that Ri Heqing's book Books are very popular in the city, many nobles read them, and I can't read, why don't you choose a night to read to everyone?"

Qiao Jing: "..."

Let him read the book he wrote to the villagers in public, what is this, public execution?

and--

"It's Yan Heqing." He corrected.

Qiao Jing politely declined the village chief's request, saying that he was not talented enough to learn, and he didn't know even one word on the cover.The old village chief squinted his eyes and stared at the ancient "Liang" character with complicated strokes that looked like ghostly drawn symbols for a long time, and reluctantly believed Qiao Jing's reason.

"Sure enough, the educated people in the city are different from those in the countryside." He smacked his lips and said enviously, "You are already the most educated person in our village, but you don't even know the topics, and you are still far behind. ah."

In order to send the village chief away earlier, Qiao Jing could only nod indiscriminately.

"I see, I'd better give this book to that doll Liu Qi, I remember he loves to read," the old village chief looked at the neatly bound and beautiful book in his hand with regret, thinking that this is a flower. It was bought at a high price of fifteen yuan, so it can't be wasted, "I hope he can become famous in the future, just like this An Heqing."

Qiao Jing: "..."
