As usual, Lu Fang went to the dining room to have breakfast after washing up.
While they were eating, Aunt Zhang, who was sweeping the floor, came over and said to Lu Fang outside the door: "Master, there are two people looking for you at the gate of the county government office!"
Lu Fang was slightly startled and turned his head, "Two people are looking for me? Who are they?"
Aunt Zhang said: "One said he was the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and the other said he was a servant of the Xu family in the county. They are both still waiting outside!"
Lu Fang understood immediately, nodded and said: "Aunt Zhang, please ask them to come in!"
"OK."
Aunt Zhang agreed and walked outside.
Lu Liang asked: "Why did they come to you?"
Lu Fang replied: "I published a collection of poems in Sanwei Study. The Xu family came to see me, probably to give me an invitation. Miss Xu family invited me to attend a cocktail party at her home."
Lu Liang couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and asked questions like a barrage: "Are you talking about Xu Ruoyun of the Xu family? Why did she invite you to the cocktail party? Did you agree to her?"
Lu Fang wrote lightly: "I agreed, why didn't you agree? Didn't you say that you want me to have a good relationship with these wealthy gentry?"
Lu Liang looked like he was about to cry, "I did say that, but when you did this, did you ever think about Wang Yeyan's feelings? Among the Ningyuan clans, the Wang family is still the largest."
Lu Fang knew what he meant and said, "How else can I feel? I'm just jealous!"
Lu Liang looked puzzled, "You clearly knew she would be jealous, so why did you agree to Miss Xu's invitation?"
"That's not a bad thing."
Lu Fangdao: "It's just an ordinary poetry meeting, what can it represent? Lu Dalang, do you really want me to get married to that Wang Yeyan?"
"Of course my brother won't force you."
Lu Liang smiled bitterly, "It's just that if you do this, I'm worried that you will offend Wang Yeyan. Even if you are acting on occasion, you shouldn't be half-hearted, right?"
"You don't understand this aspect."
Lu Fang shook his head confidently, "With Wang Yeyan's character, the more I don't care about her, the harder she will be to forget me. Do you believe it or not?"
Although he had never been in love in his previous life, he had been exposed to it a lot. Whether it was reality or TV dramas, he had seen countless love scenes.
As the saying goes, he has read three hundred Tang poems by heart and can recite them even if he can't compose them. Lu Fang still has some confidence in trying to figure out a woman's thoughts.
Wang Yeyan is exactly that kind of woman who is arrogant and arrogant. The more she pretends not to care about this kind of woman, the more unexpected results she can achieve.
Lu Liang looked at Lu Fang blankly, speechless.
Other aspects were fine, but when it came to dealing with women, he had to admit that he was indeed not as good as his previously bohemian brother.
Lu Fang added: "Xu Ruoyun invited me in front of Wang Yeyan, and Wang Yeyan just asked me not to write poems for Xu Ruoyun. Don't worry, I won't ruin your business."
Lu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, dumbfounded, "That's up to you..."
Soon, the shopkeeper of Sanwei Study and the boy from the Xu family were brought in by Aunt Zhang.
Lu Fang had also finished breakfast at this time. He stood up and went to the door. He first asked the shopkeeper, "Has the collection of poems been ready?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Sir, the typesetting was done last night. I took the initiative and printed ten samples first. I want to ask you, how many copies are suitable to be printed first?"
As he spoke, he took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Fang, "Please take a look."
The cover of the collection of poems is dark blue and the paper is quite thick. The words "Collection of Poems by Lu Fang" are printed vertically in the upper right corner.
Lu Fang opened it and found that the paper was pretty good. Although it was definitely not expensive paper nowadays, it was still passable.
Wang Yeyan's "Burial of Flowers" seems to have used this kind of paper.
There is a poem printed on each page, fifty pages in total.
Lu Fang was quite satisfied after reading it. He nodded and said, "Let's print five hundred copies first!"
The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide and said, "Print so many?"
According to his estimate, he could sell about two hundred copies in Ningyuan County. If he printed less, he would lose less money.
Lu Fang said: "Just print it, I will have a way to sell it."
The shopkeeper had no choice but to look at Lu Liang inside and could only say: "Okay then!"
Lu Fang looked at the young man from the Lu family again, "Are you here to deliver invitations to your young lady?"
These days, etiquette is very important, especially for wealthy families. Although Xu Ruoyun has already invited him verbally, sending an invitation is the right thing to do.
The boy nodded repeatedly and took out the invitation, "Yes. Our second lady invites you to attend a meeting at home this afternoon."
It can be seen that some thought was put into the invitation. The font on it is embroidered with Juanxiu gold silk. Inside, there is an invitation letter written by Xu Ruoyun himself.
Lu Fang secretly thought to himself that these families are really wealthy, and then nodded and said: "Go back and tell you, Miss Second, that I will attend the appointment on time."
The boy agreed and walked outside.
The shopkeeper was a little unwilling to give up and asked Lu Fang again: "Master Lu, are you really going to print 500 copies?"
Lu Fang said angrily: "I asked you to print the stamps. If you can't sell them, I will just pay you."
He really doesn't need this little money now.
The shopkeeper almost burst into laughter, but he suppressed it and said sarcastically: "Then I'll go back and seal it. I'll go back and seal it now."
He said and walked out.
Lu Fang shouted at his back: "Print it faster, I came to get it before. At least give me twenty copies."
"Okay."
The shopkeeper turned around and agreed with a smile on his face.
Lu Fang walked back to the dining room.
Lu Liang looked at the collection of poems in his hand, "Are they all your poems? Show them to me."
Lu Fang directly put the poetry collection in front of him.
"Collection of Lu Fang's Poems..."
Lu Liang slowly read out the four words on the cover, and a smile appeared on his face, "Erlang, you are really promising. You have published a collection of poems so quickly."
When I opened it again and looked at the poem inside, my expression gradually began to stiffen.
His eyes gradually became wider and wider.
For nearly ten minutes, Lu Liang said nothing.
"The admiration value from Luliang is 888!"
"The admiration value from Luliang is 777!"
"The admiration value from Luliang is 999!"
"The admiration value from Luliang is 999!"
"..."
The system keeps reminding me that I have received worship points from Lu Liang.
When Lu Liang finally "plucked" his eyes out of the poetry collection and looked at Lu Fang, he had already contributed more than 20,000 admiration points to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang was so happy that he pretended to be proud and said: "Are these poems of mine okay?"
Lu Liang swallowed his saliva, his face full of disbelief, "Did you really write these poems?"
I couldn't help but contribute a few more waves of admiration points to Lu Fang.
Lu Fangdao: "Of course I did it, otherwise where would it come from? But it is also the accumulation of these years! It is not all done in the past few days."
"The posture of heaven, the posture of heaven... Erlang, you are the posture of heaven..."
Lu Liang said in a daze: "In my opinion, these poems will last forever. If this collection of poems sells well all over the world, no one will be able to compare with you in terms of poetic talent throughout the past and present."
Although Lu Fang's poems had amazed him before, he really didn't expect that Lu Fang composed so many quatrains.
I am afraid that the total number of quatrains written by all the great Confucian scholars in the world is not as high as Lu Fang's.
"The admiration value from Luliang is 999!"
"The admiration value from Luliang is 999!"
"The admiration value from Luliang is 999!"
"..."
While being shocked, Lu Liang continued to increase his admiration points for Lu Fang.
Lu Fang said slightly proudly: "It's just that I can capture it easily."
Although he had been assigned to Lu Fang's courtyard, Zhu'er, who was still responsible for serving the meal, looked at it curiously and said, "Master, can you let me have a look too?"
