Chapter 58 This book shocked me
After hearing what Chu Yian said, Qin Sheng didn't ask any more questions and just said okay.
After they washed their hands, Chu Yian was about to go to the main courtyard, but Qin Sheng suddenly returned to the room and called her in.
Chu Yian was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Qin Sheng handed over a wooden box: "Open it and take a look."
Chu Yian became even more curious. He took the box and opened it. His eyes widened instantly when he saw what was inside the box.
She suddenly felt that the wooden box in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, so heavy that she could hardly hold it.
Her hands were shaking with excitement, and she looked at Qin Sheng with sparkling eyes: "This, so much money, is it for me?"
That’s right, the wooden box was filled with silver bills.
Although the denomination is not large, the quantity is large. Adding up the scattered amounts will definitely be a very considerable income.
Pocket money is increasing rapidly.
Could this be the money Qin Sheng has saved up over the years?
Because she married Qin Sheng, she now also took over Qin Sheng’s small treasury?
Qin Sheng is such a good person!
Seeing Chu Yian's expression, Qin Sheng knew what she was thinking. He pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Have you forgotten? Your book is a big hit at the bookstore."
"Some of this money came from the bookstore I signed a contract with, just selling books to them. Some of it was earned over the past two days, and it's all been delivered to me."
"But from now on, the payment will be made once a month. These past few days, the bookstore has only tried to print some copies for trial sale, and they've sold quite well. The effect is beyond our expectations, and many students are vying to buy them."
"Not just students, but almost anyone who wants to buy books will buy them if they have enough money."
"The bookstore should be increasing the number of copies they make these days. From this perspective, the profits we can make in the future will only increase."
Qin Sheng thought Chu Yian would be very happy to hear these words, but unexpectedly, Chu Yian not only did not smile, but even the smile on his face slowly faded.
He frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Chu Yian is a money-grubber and is always overjoyed when he makes money.
She made so much money this time, but she didn't seem very happy.
Qin Sheng looked down at Chu Yian, looked into her eyes, and wondered what she was thinking.
Chu Yian looked down at the wooden box full of banknotes in his hand. He held the box with such force that his fingertips turned white.
She was not actually unhappy, but her mood was very complicated, more complicated than ever before.
I didn't know what to say for a moment and could only remain silent.
The box in my hand didn't seem so heavy anymore.
Compared to the weight of silver and money, the heaviness of history is infected with a thick layer of wind and snow, wrapped in biting wind and frost, and suddenly breaks into this completely unfamiliar world with an unprecedented strong attitude.
This suddenly made Chu Yian feel a sense of inexplicable panic in his heart.
This story... can it really help the Qin family get rid of the emperor's suspicion and let the emperor focus on state affairs?
Chu Yian was not sure.
In addition, the book "The Great Qin Empire" was a big hit, and in a secret corner of her heart, she felt more of a passionate and moving emotion.
This book is not her masterpiece, but a microcosm of thousands of real people who have existed in history.
Their eventful and eventful lives can be expressed on just a few thin pages of paper.
She is not the author, she is just a relayer and at most a narrator.
To the people in this world, the Qin Dynasty is unfamiliar, and the people in the book are also unfamiliar.
But across the vast space and time, they saw that chaotic world and were about to witness the birth and rise of an empire.
Chu Yian didn't know how to express the emotion in his heart.
Looking up at Qin Sheng's complicated eyes, she raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "Qin Sheng, I'm so happy, thank you."
Qin Sheng opened his mouth. Chu Yian has always been a simple-minded person, and whatever he wants to say is written on his face.
This was the first time he couldn't tell what this person was thinking.
At that moment, he even had the illusion that he and Chu Yian were very far away, so far that he could not reach them.
But Qin Sheng knew that the reason Chu Yian gave him this feeling was because of that book.
He suppressed all the emotions that were surging in his heart and gave Chu Yian a gentle smile: "Why thank me? You should thank yourself. I didn't do anything. I just wrote down the story for you when you wanted to write it."
"If you want to thank me for this, I think I should be the one thanking you."
"Go out and ask around. If people knew I was the first reader of this story, they would probably envy me to death."
"If they knew that the author was looking for someone to help take notes because he was slow at writing, I'm afraid there would be so many people who would want to replace me and write for you tomorrow."
Qin Sheng's words made Chu Yian unable to hold back his laughter, and his eyes lit up when he looked at him.
All the emotions in her heart dissipated like smoke, and she raised the wooden box in her hand: "Wait a moment, I'll put the money away."
Qin Sheng nodded, and Chu Yian locked the money in the box and followed Qin Sheng out of Fuhua Courtyard and headed for the main courtyard.
Although his mood had calmed down a lot, Chu Yian was still very silent along the way and not as noisy as usual.
Qin Sheng was still a little uncomfortable for a moment, so he could only find a topic on his own: "What do you want to do today?"
Chu Yian said without thinking: "I, I want to go to Qingshan Bookstore. I want to see what they think of the book "The Great Qin Empire"."
Qin Sheng expressed his understanding: "Okay, I will arrange for a few skilled people to follow you, so that you don't have to take Xiao Fu alone."
Chu Yian nodded, and the two of them talked and unknowingly arrived at the main courtyard.
By then, the Qin family will be waiting there.
Chu Yian just walked over and before he had time to say hello, he saw a book on the table, and on the cover of the book were written four big characters "The Great Qin Empire".
Her round eyes widened, her heart beat faster, and she tugged at Qin Sheng's sleeve.
Qin Sheng followed her gaze and when he saw the book on the table, his reaction was much calmer than hers.
He picked up the book and flipped through a few pages.
Although he had already memorized the contents, Qin Sheng looked at the eldest brother of the Qin family as if he was seeing the book for the first time. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother, what book is this?"
Qin Huaishu was wearing an elegant green gown today, which made his temperament look even more gentle.
Unlike the military general Qin Sheng, Qin Huaishu has a scholarly air that is rarely seen in modern people. He is an upright gentleman, nothing more than this.
But his voice was clear and pleasant: "Yesterday I passed by a bookstore and saw a lot of people queuing in front of this book. I was curious, so I bought it."
“After I came back and read it, I was shocked.”
Qin Sheng glanced at Chu Yian calmly, sat down next to Qin Huaishu, and closed the book: "How shocking? Big brother, tell me."
