After listening to Pang Qing's words, Tang Ji turned around and walked over: "Brother Pang Pang, are you going back to Huaizhou?"
"Hehe, yes, it's been almost a month since I came out. If I don't go back, I won't be able to explain to the lady." Pang Qing laughed awkwardly and raised his hand to touch his head.
Hearing this, Li Yu, who was standing by the gate, quickly took out a manuscript covered with pen and ink from his sleeve and handed it into his hands: "This is the manuscript that I have made up. Take it back and quickly print my copy of "Hongke".
Come out, if you lose it again, I will be rude to you!"
Pang Qing curled his lips. He had not lost the manuscript, but he did not argue with Li Yu and put the manuscript into his pocket.
Tang Ji had seen Pang Qing's martial arts, so he was not very worried that he would be in danger. He smiled and said, "In that case, Brother Pang, take care of yourself along the way, and remember to say hello to Sister Yue for me."
"Okay!" Pang Qing responded carelessly, then raised his hands and saluted: "Then I'll leave first!"
Soon, after watching Pang Qingyuan go away, Tang Jifang looked away. When he heard the noise coming from the small building, he turned around and walked in.
Jiran Bookstore in Kyoto is smaller than Huaizhou, but the overall layout has been optimized. The first floor is divided into three parts. The left side is the book sales area, such as newly published books and serialized novels.
On the bookshelf over here;
On the right is the reading area, with rows of bookcases close to the wall, and open windows above. The sunlight is very good, and three tables and chairs that can accommodate eight to twelve people are thoughtfully set up. If you find it too noisy,
You can also choose to walk to the end and enter a quiet room that has been soundproofed;
As for the last part, it is the main counter in the center and the wooden stairs leading to the second floor on both sides of the counter.
The interior of the bookstore is decorated with very bright colors, which looks very energetic and can make people relax. With various decorations, it looks very exquisite.
But at this time, many people stood in front of the main counter with unhappy faces, complaining to Shen Ling who was sitting inside.
"No, this must be the fake Ji Ran Bookstore, right? I also asked to see if there is the third volume of "Blue Red Lock", but I didn't even see this book. This "Journey to the West" I
I’ve read it twice and I still have a collector’s edition at home!”
"Yeah, why do you display all these completed books?"
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come. It's so boring!"
"..."
Listening to everyone's gossip, Li Yu, who was standing at the gate, was about to go up to explain, but was stopped by Tang Ji. He couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it written on the bulletin board outside that the books being serialized will not be available until next month?"
Will it be released simultaneously in Huaizhou? I'll go up and explain to them, don't stop me."
Tang Ji grabbed his sleeve and raised his eyebrows to tell him to look forward.
Li Yu followed his gaze and saw that Shen Ling had stood up and explained with a smile.
Within a moment, everyone understood the whole story and stopped arguing.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but don't worry, our store promises to officially start serialization before the tenth of April, and the serialization speed and books may be faster and more than in Huaizhou. In addition, in mid-April
, our store will also launch Jiran Bookstore's second essay contest 'Fantasy Cup' and the female channel essay contest 'Dream Cup', so stay tuned!" Shen Ling said to everyone with a smile on her face.
"Female Channel Essay Contest? Does it mean that women can also write books?" a girl in the crowd asked.
Shen Ling nodded: "Yes, as long as you girls have a good story, please sign up for the competition. Maybe you can become a god with a book and earn a thousand taels a month..."
Seeing that Shen Ling and everyone became friendly quickly, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Tang Ji's raised lips, he rubbed his nose and asked softly: "You're not going to let Shen Ling be the shopkeeper of the bookstore, are you? "
"I think he is quite suitable. It seems that painting has buried his talent. This guy is a shopkeeper!" Tang Ji touched his chin and nodded with satisfaction. He had been worried about the bookshop shopkeeper before, and wanted to let him Zhou Qingwan helped find one, but he couldn't absolutely trust outsiders.
It's fine now, Shen Ling helped him solve this problem!
Hearing this, Li Yu held his head high like a goose: "How's it going? I found a good person, right? He can be both a painter and a shopkeeper."
Tang Ji put away his thoughts, stretched out his hand to pick out his ears, and walked straight to the second floor.
Li Yu raised his foot and chased after him: "Hey, Tang Ji, can't you just listen to what I have to say? I haven't settled the score with you about the plaque at the door yet!"
...
March 25th, provincial exam!
The beautiful scenery is still in spring, and the clear clouds are clear in summer. In the blink of an eye, most of spring has passed.
This year's provincial examination is nearly a month later than previous years, but it does not affect the enthusiasm of the candidates at all. The city of Kyoto has become very lively in the past two days. Many students will go to the Confucian Temple to worship, hoping that they can get good results in the exam. It's on the list.
At dawn, Kyoto Dagong-in in the northern city was open. Candidates who had verified their identity could enter the examination room. However, because there were so many candidates, nearly two hours had passed, and the queue outside the Dagong-in was still very long. .
Tang Ji leaned against the inner wall of the Gongyuan, watching the candidates walking in after passing the examination. He couldn't help but remember the scene during the college entrance examination in his previous life. Students full of fighting spirit and passion entered the examination room one by one to face the examination that was related to their life's destiny.
Therefore, he will never allow anyone to cheat on this exam!
Tang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "Watch me catch you all one by one!"
After a long time, all the candidates entered the Gongyuan. The gate of the Gongyuan was tightly closed, and the Yunxiao Guards stationed outside also began to patrol along the Gongyuan.
After a while, as the bells in the tribute courtyard rang, Zhang Xiuhao, the official minister sitting in the main courtyard in the east, said: "The time is up, the provincial examination begins!"
