Chapter 127 The Time Is Quiet, Asking For The Moon
The prince has heard of Zhao Xun.
This boy has been very popular in Chang'an City recently, and almost everyone knows about him.
It is said that his father also spoke highly of him.
But the prince didn't like Zhao Xun very much.
The reason is very simple, this guy is too sharp.
Whether it is being at the forefront when investigating and solving a case, being a blockbuster at the Qujiang Poetry Society, or writing and publishing books to gain fame.
These are all outstanding performances.
The prince is a person who knows how to hide his strength and bide his time.
Since he was appointed as the crown prince nineteen years ago, he has been the crown prince of the East Palace for twenty years.
My father is also a very jealous person who values power very much. If the prince shows any arrogance, he will definitely be severely reprimanded and even lose his position as crown prince.
Therefore, over the years, the prince has developed a cautious and cautious character, keeping a low profile and biding his time.
The prince will not act rashly unless absolutely necessary.
From the perspective of oneself and others, the prince also held this standard for his direct relatives and close associates.
Those arrogant and unruly people were expelled from the East Palace by the prince for not observing etiquette.
The prince wants to establish a culture in the East Palace where everyone is humble and courteous and does not argue when things happen.
Those young and conceited people are not worthy of working for the East Palace.
And this Zhao Xun is almost completely contrary to the prince's employment guidelines.
If Zhao Xun is activated, the prince will be slapping himself in the face.
"Zhao Xungu advises you to stay away."
The prince thought for a long time and finally expressed his opinion about this son.
"Why did the emperor say that?"
Li Taiping's face was full of doubts, and he really didn't understand why the prince suggested that he stay away from Zhao Xun.
"My good niece, you are new to the world and have a sinister heart. This guy is probably taking advantage of you."
The prince paused and said: "Have you ever thought that he is close to you because you are the daughter of King Qi? If you did not have the identity of Yonghe County Lord, would he still be so close to you?"
Faced with the prince's remarks, Li Taiping found it difficult to accept.
"Uncle Emperor, don't say any more. Who you associate with is Taiping's own business. Taiping can take care of it."
"When I enter the palace today, there will be many disturbances in Taiping, so I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Li Taiping turned and left.
The prince looked at Li Taiping's retreating figure and was stunned for a moment.
My niece actually had a problem with me because of an outsider. This kid is really disgusting!
The prince's eyes suddenly turned vicious and he clenched his fists tightly.
…
…
"Brother Xun, hug me!"
In the back garden of Duke Chengguo's mansion, the little lolita Zhao Danshu walked towards Zhao Xun with small steps.
Zhao Xun, who was so frightened that he was practicing the Canglang sword technique, quickly sheathed the sword.
"Well…"
Although Zhao Xun is now an eighth-level practitioner and is on his way to the seventh-level realm, there is nothing he can do about being entangled by a little loli.
Patting the little Loli's back, Zhao Xun asked dotingly: "Why, did you wake up from your nap?"
The little Loli said in a sweet voice: "Well, as soon as I woke up, I looked for Brother Xun everywhere. I heard that Brother Xun came to the back garden, so I ran all the way. It's so tiring."
No matter how stubborn Zhao Xun is, he can't even keep a straight face in front of the little Lolita.
The little guy is so cute and healing. Just one look at him can make you melt.
"Brother Xun, my mother told me that she was going to Zhongnan Mountain to stay for a while after the New Year, saying she wanted to pay homage to Buddha. I begged my mother for a long time to take me with her, and she finally agreed."
Um?
Going to stay in Zhongnan Mountain?
As top nobles, the Zhao family has many other businesses in the suburbs of Chang'an.
Zhongnan Mountain is no exception.
It would be okay for my mother and sister to change their environment and go to Zhongnan Mountain to stay for a while.
only…
Zhongnan Mountain is not as ordinary as the world imagines. At least Zhao Xun knew that there were hidden artifacts of the Demon Sect and the sacred Haoran Academy.
It can be said that all the cows, ghosts and snake gods gathered on such a spiritual mountain.
It would be okay if he didn't know. After knowing about it, Zhao Xun had some concerns.
My mother and sister are ordinary mortals. If they are invaded by evil spirits...
"Does our Zhongnanshan mansion have guards?"
"There seem to be about a dozen nursing homes."
Little Loli asked in confusion: "Brother Xun, why do you ask this?"
Zhao Xun weighed it up and felt that ordinary guards were not enough, so he planned to go to the academy and ask the Sixth Senior Brother for help in drawing a talisman on the Zhao family's Zhongnan Mountain villa to protect his family.
The Sixth Senior Brother is so proficient in Kanyu Feng Shui and transforming talismans into formations that he can handle such things with ease.
As long as there is no problem with the safety of his family, Zhao Xun will feel at ease.
"Brother Xun, continue telling me stories."
"Well, a long time ago, there was a village with seven dwarfs..."
Zhao Xun told the story while patting the girl.
For him, this is the happiest time right now. He really wants to watch his girl grow up little by little.
For him, peaceful years are the greatest happiness.
…
…
I made a lot of money, I really made a lot of money now.
As Zhao Xun updates faster and faster, the sales of "Liao Zhai" are also getting higher and higher.
The little fat man made a lot of money.
His family has been running a bookstore for so long, but he has never encountered such a popular book.
Zhao Xun seems to understand the preferences of the people of Chang'an very well, and the stories he writes always touch the hearts of the people.
We are naturally happy to see this prosperous wealth.
There is a win-win relationship between him and Zhao Xun.
The more Zhao Xun earns, the more he earns.
To him, Zhao Xun is a money tree.
He is now afraid that Zhao Xun will be poached away.
If this is the case, then the loss of wealth will not be as simple as a few thousand taels.
Fortunately, Wangcai and Zhao Xun are colleagues, and they both work in the bad people's office.
There is a saying that the first to get the moon is from the tower near the water, and the fertile water does not flow to outsiders' fields.
Based on the current relationship between him and Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun should not be poached easily as long as the money is in place.
but…
Even if he could tie Zhao Xun firmly to his side, Wangcai could not control other bookshops to follow suit and print Liaozhai.
Wangcai's advantage is that he has access to first-hand manuscripts and can ensure that the chapters of the book printed by his own bookstore are up to date.
This advantage can ensure that they earn the fastest, but the advantage will become smaller as time goes by.
In order to prevent its share from being cannibalized by other bookstores, Wangcai decided to make some adjustments to Liaozhai's sales strategy.
First of all, we need to increase the accuracy of the manuscript to ensure that there are no typos.
Secondly, you can add some exquisite illustrations.
In this way, more book lovers can be attracted to read.
Those bookstores that follow the trend will definitely not think of this.
Even if they thought about it, they might not be willing to spend a lot of money.
As long as you have something that others don't have, you can widen the gap.
Wangcai thought that he was really a business genius.
The key now is to let Zhao Xun ensure the update speed. During this period, Zhao Xun has been a little drifting, and the updates are as slow as a tortoise.
In Zhao Xun's own words, this is a salted fish-style update.
But salted fish updates will cause fans to fall off, and these are all free money.
Wangcai felt a pain in his body when he thought of this, and he decided to go to Chengguo Duke's Mansion immediately to press for the manuscript.
