At this time, it was Daxing Town.
With the popularity of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Lu Pan", the name Mr. Liaozhai began to become more and more famous in the town.
If one work like "A Chinese Ghost Story" only demonstrates the author's exceptional talent, then their second work further proves that they are indeed a forgotten gem in the world of storytelling.
They certainly have the ability.
It wasn't due to good luck or skirting the rules.
It's not just about writing ability, but about solid writing skills.
I read a storybook to see if it's popular or if it will become a hit.
Even those who don't like reading storybooks are familiar with its famous jokes.
For example, the famous scene of the female ghost's jade feet.
For example, the famous scene where the female ghost is wrapped inside the scholar's tongue.
For example, the famous scene where the female ghost and the scholar get wet and seduce each other.
Even some teenagers who don't particularly enjoy reading books or picture books, especially those going through puberty.
Some suggestive words in storybooks, such as "soft breasts and jade legs," can easily ignite the rich imaginations of young people, leading them to fantasize.
The county school, the study room.
Mr. Xu looked at the visiting card from Manager Feng delivered by Qingping Study.
He frowned slightly.
The letter meant that recently, Mr. Xu's books on his academic and scholarly pursuits haven't been selling particularly well, but he should take it easy on Mr. Xu...
This was just a fleeting moment of revelry among a group of teenagers, like a flash in the pan, and it would soon fade away.
Below is a summary of Mr. Xu's recent book sales.
In June, ten volumes of "Introduction to Poetry and Lyrics" and eight volumes of "Walking and Thinking" were published.
His brows were furrowed.
Keep reading.
In May, there were 35 volumes of "Introduction to Poetry and Lyrics" and 26 volumes of "Walking and Thinking".
After that, every other month was like May.
Sales plummeted in June.
Where is the problem?
After carefully reading what Manager Feng said, I realized that the revelry of the group of young men and women was as fleeting as a flash in the pan.
Manager Feng walked towards the study next door.
"Brother Bo'an, are there any popular popular books on the market lately?" He frowned slightly when he saw that the other party was relaxed.
Mr. He had his hair styled in a loose, casual way, and was lying sprawled on a chair in a large robe, holding a book in his hand.
Seeing someone approaching, he stood up lazily and said, "Brother Gongfu, really? Haven't you always looked down on those folk tales? Why are you suddenly interested today?"
As he spoke, he got up and rummaged through the messy desk.
I finally found it among the scattered books and smiled.
"Found it."
The picture book was folded up, and Mr. He took it. The cover of the book depicted a vivid and charming girl in white.
The girl's clothes were torn, revealing a loose robe.
The curve is full of ups and downs!
Her upper body was mostly covered, barely concealing her jade-like legs. From her lower thighs to her jade-like feet, she was almost completely naked. One delicate, jade-like foot, bare of shoes and socks, stretched out into the water. Her toes were full and almost pink. Her expression was shy and timid, revealing half of her fragrant shoulder.
She turned around, biting her full lips... her eyes were moist, as sweet as honey.
A panicked scholar stood in the pool.
Her upper body was soaked, and two points on her chest were vaguely visible.
Mr. Xu scoffed, "I can tell from the cover alone that this isn't a proper storybook, even without reading the contents."
"Obscene folk tales, low-class reading material that can't be presented in public!"
Mr. He lazily lay back down on the chair.
"Brother Gongfu, don't be so rigid."
I glanced at it briefly, and it wasn't filled with obscene language.
On the contrary, its content is excellent, its values are positive, and its plot is engaging and full of twists and turns; it is an superb folk tale.
Mr. Xu listened to what was being said, and although he was still skeptical, he patiently read a few chapters.
Time passed by, bit by bit.
Mr. Xu frowned and said, "When did such a person emerge in this town?"
He knew something about those famous Confucian scholars, such as the most famous Qingyunlou, who was best at writing love stories tailored to women, and whose audience consisted mainly of young ladies from prominent families.
Another half a day passed.
"The plot and character development are good. This 'A Chinese Ghost Story' is far more than just a love story between a human and a ghost. It contains three schools of thought and three completely different perspectives. However, using eroticism and lust as a gimmick is really disgusting. Why not just write a good book?"
"Not fit for refined tastes!"
"Hey, Brother Gongfu, hehe, why do I feel like you're praising this Confucian scholar?"
You're right. Let's start with Confucianism. Ning Caichen represents his embodiment, obsession, and goodwill; he's the conscience of this "A Chinese Ghost Story" series..."
The scholar sensed the darkness within the imperial court, yet he still upheld justice.
For example, yamen runners would disregard human life in the middle of the night.
The scholar's resolve didn't crumble; he could simply pay a bribe to replace a criminal. This unwavering determination to eradicate evil in the latter half of his story stemmed from the teachings of Confucianism and his sense of responsibility for the fate of the nation…
Mr. He started talking, then secretly glanced at the scholar opposite him. Seeing that the scholar's face was getting longer and longer, he decisively shut up.
"Hehe, I'm just saying it casually. You can just read storybooks for fun. As long as the plot is interesting, no one cares about the core message. It doesn't matter."
Mr. Xu's voice was cold. He stood with his hands behind his back and frowned slightly as he looked at Mr. He.
“Brother Bo’an, do not forget our principles. We are in the county school, and we should be teaching and educating people. If our own principles are flawed, then the students below will follow our example.”
What will become of the entire county school?
Serious books are ignored, such as "An Introduction to Poetry" and "Walking Thoughts," with all the time being wasted on such things.
