Chapter 2 Why is the pretty girl called Song Tie?

The next day.

With money, there is no need to hide in Tibet. After buying a road guide from the black market, Zhou Ji rented a small courtyard in the east of the city and settled here. Currently, the "Red Mansion" in Kyoto has been serialized for 68 chapters.

, I think it should be the day when Fan Xian comes to Beijing.

Zhou Ji went to the cloth store to put on the ready-made clothes that were customized yesterday. She wore a dark outfit with a strange sword case. She lost her elegant style and added a bit of chivalry.

Sitting next to the railing on the second floor of Yishiju, Zhou Ji ordered some food and wine and poured himself a drink. The young man who was talking loudly next door yesterday did not come today. On the contrary, there was another table of guests who attracted more attention.

"Look at this book, it's in very average condition. The cost of printing and plate making is less than three cents and two cents. Not counting labor, we can earn seven cents and six cents for every copy sold. Just now we sold seven cents.

Eight copies, if the market is open, at least hundreds of copies can be sold a day!"

"With one hundred copies, we can earn 768 taels. If we control our time well and publish one volume in fifteen days, that's 11,520 taels! Excluding manual paving, it will be three points

Forget it, we can also make a net profit of 8,064 taels! When the time comes and you publish another twelve volumes, it will be 96,768 taels."

"This is just the first draft. If we add more..."

Zhou Ji burst out laughing after hearing a series of words, and then thinking of the "eight taels" price he mentioned, Zhou Ji naturally understood that the other person should be talking about the book "Red Mansions".

I don’t remember the specific details of the original work, but this passage is quite interesting.

The general trend does not change, but the small trend changes.

Is this the film and television version of "Celebrating More Than Years"? It's quite interesting.

If so, then the person sitting on the other side of the screen should be the person he is looking for, right?

Zhou Ji played with the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile: "I have a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" here, can you buy a share?"

"who?!"

A middle-aged man with a tight face and a bit of sadness in his eyebrows walked around the screen and looked at Zhou Ji. Next to him, a young man with a small nose and small eyes was lying on the screen like a hamster, sticking his head out:

"Do you want to come and invest?"

Fan Ruoruo looked at Fan Xian whose expression suddenly changed and asked with some worry: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

She didn't expect that something like this would happen just when she went out to kill a meal.

She has never seen her brother have such an expression since she was a child. He looked like fear and joy, and his eyes were changing, as if his heart was also disturbed.

"I'm fine." Fan Xian noticed Fan Ruoruo's worried eyes and said softly, "Don't worry, it's fine."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at the screen in front of him. On the screen, which depicts mountains and seas of clouds, he could vaguely see the figure of a young man, sitting opposite him, as if separating two realms.

"How many chapters are there in the book?"

"One hundred and twenty times."

"Can there be a preface?"

"have."

"Who did it?"

"Yang Shen."

"!!!"

"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are red several times.

The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the riverbank is used to looking at the autumn moon and the spring breeze. They happily meet each other over a pot of turbid wine. Many things in ancient and modern times are all talked about with laughter."

After reciting the poem "Linjiang Immortal", two more figures appeared in front of Zhou Ji, a man and a woman. The woman was delicate and graceful, with a little beauty mark on the side of her face. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she still had a certain temperament of her own.

Zhou Ji didn't look much, just glanced briefly at the handsome man next to him, and then waved.

"Hi~"

Fan Xian's expression was very complicated. He felt like a lost person finding his hometown, or someone who had been wandering for a long time without a place to live.

His eyes were filled with tears and he was almost ready to shed tears.

He has been in this world for nearly twenty years. He has many relatives and close friends, but deep down in his heart he has always been a lonely person.

Maybe only he himself can understand the sadness of "the ancients have never been seen before, and the newcomers have never been seen since"?

I copied "The Red Mansion" in my spare time, saying it was just for entertainment, but why didn't I set up a beacon and have some hope of finding my companions?

Fan Xian had thousands of words flooding into his heart at this moment, but he didn't know how to express them.

"Hey, this poem is really good. Although I can't understand it, I can still feel that it is definitely a good poem!" Fan Sizhe, with his eyes shining, squeezed forward and said with a philistine expression: "What are you talking about about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

"Does it look good? Isn't it because someone came up with a good preface and tried to sell it as a piece of cake?"

Normally, Fan Ruoruo would have pulled Fan Sizhe over and taught him a lesson, "This is a song! It's not a poem!"

But now she was also frightened by Fan Xian's sudden loss of control, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to take another look at Zhou Ji.

"You have asked so many questions. Is it my turn to ask a few more?" Zhou Ji remained motionless under the gaze of everyone. He played with the wine cup in his hand, poured half a cup into it, raised his cup and said: "Gong Jade

Liquid wine?”

"One hundred and eighty cups!"

"Cross talk, sketch?"

"Magic Acrobatics."

Zhou Ji probed Fan Xian's past time little by little, starting from old memes from the 1990s and talking about new Internet words in 2012. Fan Xian responded fluently, and even said some words that were unfamiliar to even Zhou Ji.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside the restaurant. Zhou Ji frowned slightly, stopped talking and turned to look outside the fence.

A group of guards and servants who came from nowhere were chasing the booksellers on the street. The leader was Guo Baokun, whom he had met yesterday.

"Get out of the way!"

"Who asked you to sell this book!"

"Go away! Don't sell it!"

Fan Xian, who slowly calmed down, noticed the noise next to him. Teng Zijing's expression changed slightly, and he took a step back and said softly, "Master Fan, this person is Guo Baokun!"

"The son of the Minister of Rites? Is he the one who ruined your family?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

He glanced at Zhou Ji who was drinking nearby. His matter was too secretive and he shouldn't have mentioned it in front of outsiders. Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe were both Fan Xian's family members, so it didn't matter.

But I don’t know the person in front of me...

Teng Zijing frowned slightly, but still chose to believe Fan Xian.

"yes."

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Don't you think of a way to beat him up?"

Teng Zijing clenched his fists. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still understood the importance and said bitterly: "I only have one life now, and I don't want to get into trouble again."

Zhou Ji didn't know what was going on. Since he didn't know that he would come to Qing Yunian's world before traveling, he didn't have time to review the original work. He could only remember roughly the details of the novel he read a few years ago.

While listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Ji smiled and said, "You have no qualms about talking about these taboo things in front of outsiders."

Fan Xian glanced at the strange sword box placed next to Zhou Ji and said with a smile, "How about you come and help me?"

"My favors are not so easy to repay." Zhou Ji said quietly, "Are you sure you want me to take action?"

"That's not necessary. Let's find a way ourselves."

Zhou Ji took a sip of fruit wine and smiled without saying a word.

About Song Yi: The author originally thought "Song Tie" was just a joke, but he didn't expect to meet such a person in reality...

When the author was playing Dota in an Internet cafe, there were people chatting next to him. One person told another person about Amway's new drama "The Son-in-Law". The other person's disgust at the beginning turned into a real attraction. After checking the name of the heroine, he said

Sentence: "Isn't this heroine the same person who celebrated Yu Nian?" After saying that, she was still curious, "What is her name Song Tie?"
