In the next few days, Lin Xu stayed in Suzhou Mansion.
The business of Linshan Company is currently managed by Li Xiaoer and Feng Si. They are both capable people and they cherish the opportunity given to them by Lin Xu, so they work extra hard!
In addition, the products sold by Lin Shan's shop, whether soaps or perfume gift boxes, are very popular, so there is no need to worry about selling them. Sometimes there is even a shortage of supply, so the business of the shop is very good, and Lin Xu hardly needs to worry!
So, Lin Xu and Yueyao roamed in the forest every day, drank tea, played the piano, recited poems and composed poems. They were very happy and lived like a couple of gods and immortals.
In addition, Lin Xu also took some time to write the first five plays of "The Peony Pavilion" through his dictation and Zhang Wenchang's ghostwriting, and handed them over to Yang Dingyuan as promised.
In fact, Lin Xu is not very interested in being a "official copywriter", but since he has agreed to Yang Dingyuan, he must keep his promise. He is not the kind of person who goes back on his word!
In addition, although Kun Opera is popular in Jiangnan today and various repertoires are blooming, in terms of artistic value, none of them can compare with "The Peony Pavilion"!
He wrote "The Peony Pavilion" to provide some spiritual nourishment for people of this era!
When Yang Dingyuan heard Lin Xu say that he could write an extremely exciting drama, he actually didn't believe it and felt that Lin Xu was most likely bragging!
However, when he saw the first five plays of "The Peony Pavilion", he immediately felt as if he had found a treasure, and at the same time he admired Lin Xu greatly!
Then, without Lin Xu's consent, he excitedly took these five plays to the bookstore and published them, and also gave Lin Xu a royalties of one hundred taels!
However, he was somewhat cautious and did not use Lin Xu's real name to publish. Instead, he took it upon himself to give Lin Xu a pen name of "Mr. Lin Shan" and published under this name.
Looking at these royalties and hearing that Yang Dingyuan got this pen name for himself, Lin Xu really couldn't laugh or cry!
Although he had no intention of publishing the play at first, since Yang Dingyuan has already done so, and even the first edition of the manuscript has been printed by the bookstore, it's done, so let's do it!
After all, this is not a big deal.
Facts have proved that great works are great no matter what dynasty they are in. After the first five plays of "The Peony Pavilion" were published by the bookstore, they immediately triggered a crazy craze!
The bookstore published one thousand copies in one issue, and they were quickly sold out!
So, the bookstore urgently printed another thousand copies, but they were still sold out!
There were also many people who had not bought the books and rushed to the bookstore to ask for more printing. Many people even squatted directly at the door of the bookstore, fearing that after the new books were printed, they would be late and unable to buy them!
In addition, these five plays are really too few. After watching them, many people feel unsatisfied and are eager to read the subsequent plots. They don’t know who the original author is, so they go to bookstores, and bookstores go to bookstores to tell them.
Yang Dingyuan, Yang Dingyuan went to urge Lin Xu...
In any case, the past few days have been very peaceful, and can even be said to be very comfortable, but Lin Xu's mood has not really relaxed, even when he and Yueyao are discussing life together!
Because he knows that there are undercurrents surging in Jiangsu Province now, and maybe there will be a storm at some point!
And, probably in the last few days! This chapter has been completed!
