Chapter 218 New Series Released
Qi Moxuan has now come up with more and more ways to sell his new book. The first volume of "Paper Bride" has obviously been printed and neatly placed in the warehouse of Moxiangzhai, but Qi Moxuan still did a full three days of preheating before officially putting it on the shelves.
Of course, the effect of doing so is very significant, as can be seen from the long queues outside Moxiangzhai.
As Mr. Nancheng's most loyal fan, Song Xing arrived at the door of Moxiangzhai before dawn.
Song Xing is now highly regarded by the teachers in the academy. He passed the county examination last year and became a student, but he is still young. The teachers in Dongshan Academy discussed that it would be best for him to go out and study for two years first, and then he can take part in the academy examination and the provincial examination.
Scholars of this era also had networks of relationships. For example, the dean of Dongshan Academy had several friends who were teachers in large academies in the provincial capital. With the dean's connections as a guarantee, Song Xing successfully got the opportunity to study at Bailudong Academy.
Song Xing aspired to become a master of criminal justice like Mr. Song, but there were very few teachers in Dongshan Academy who were good at this subject, so he especially cherished the opportunity to study at Bailudong Academy.
Song Xing didn't expect to be able to get Mr. Nancheng's new book before leaving. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He got up early and stood first in line.
While waiting for the study to open, I listened to the discussion of others in the group. "I wonder what the story of 'Paper Wedding Dress' is, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the bride."
"Could it be about the bride's murder case? But Mr. Nancheng has had similar cases in his first two books. If it's still this one, it's a bit boring."
"If you think there's nothing new here, why don't you just stop queuing here? Mr. Nancheng's books are only available in limited quantities each time. You should give this opportunity to someone else."
The man didn't get angry when he was rebuked. He waved his hand and said, "That won't do. I'm also a fan of Mr. Nancheng's books. I want to collect every one of his books."
Song Xing did not participate in the conversation, but he was also guessing in his heart what the content of the paper wedding dress would be.
Qi Moxuan stood in the study and opened the door only after seeing that most of the people outside had arrived. Seeing that everyone was about to rush in, he hurriedly opened his arms to block the door.
"Everyone, please be patient, please be patient.
Mr. Nancheng's new book is inside, but before it officially goes on sale, Qi has a few words to say to everyone.
After waiting for a whole morning, the study finally opened. Qi Moxuan, this old guy, had been playing tricks on me for several days, and now he was causing trouble again. I got angry instantly because of my bad temper.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Qi, we've been tolerating you for a few days for Mr. Nancheng's sake. If you make trouble again, don't blame us for not giving you face, right?"
As soon as this person shouted, many people responded immediately.
Seeing that his actions had caused dissatisfaction, Qi Moxuan was not afraid at all. These people were just talking nonsense. Now he was like the man who used the emperor to control the princes. With Mr. Nancheng as his trump card, who was he afraid of?
What's more, what he was going to say was good news, at least for Mr. Nancheng's fans.
Song Xing looked at Qi Moxuan with burning eyes and asked expectantly, "Shopkeeper Qi, please stop keeping us in suspense. Is what you want to talk about related to Mr. Nancheng?"
Qi Moxuan gave Song Xing an appreciative look. The boy was really smart, and it was worth the benefits he had specially asked Cui Qingyi for.
After coughing twice and seeing the crowd finally quiet down, Qi Moxuan said, "To thank you all for your continued support of Mr. Nancheng and Moxiangzhai, the first fifty customers who purchase 'Paper Wedding Dress' today will have a chance to receive a piece of Mr. Nancheng's calligraphy. However, this calligraphy is hidden on any page of 'Paper Wedding Dress'. Whether you can get it depends on your luck."
As soon as Qi Moxuan finished speaking, the crowd exploded.
You must know that Mr. Nancheng, who was able to write the two books Qingtian Ji and Xiyuan Ji Lu, has long been an extraordinary existence in the eyes of everyone. Even Mr. Qingfeng, who became famous in Dajin a long time ago, cannot compare with him.
In addition, Mr. Nancheng's whereabouts are a mystery. People still don't know whether he is tall or short, old or young, fat or thin. If we can get his calligraphy, it will be a very happy thing for those who love him.
Song Xing: "What else is there? Shopkeeper Qi, please stop blocking everyone from buying books."
"Yes, yes, Shopkeeper Qi, please get out of the way."
Without waiting for Qi Moxuan to say anything, the crowd, whose appetite had been whetted, rushed in and soon surrounded the Nancheng gentleman's area of Moxiangzhai.
Everyone wants to get Mr. Nancheng’s handwritten calligraphy.
Although he was ruthlessly pushed aside by the crowd, Qi Moxuan couldn't suppress the smile. In the past, he could only look at the crowded Qixing Study and envy it. Now it was finally his turn in this prosperous era. It really made people want to set off some firecrackers to celebrate.
The person who was envious, jealous and hateful now turned to Shopkeeper Zhao, because according to the contract between him and Qi Moxuan, in Dongping County only Qi Moxuan's Moxiangzhai could put Mr. Nancheng's books on the shelves.
Fortunately, Manager Zhao quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, it was his credit that Mr. Nancheng's books could be put on the shelves of the Seven Star Bookstores in other places. He would get a lot of money at the end of the year.
Shopkeeper Zhao had just comforted himself, but when he turned around and saw a few scattered customers in his store, he became unhappy again. When he looked again and saw that there was no one in the Qingfeng Young Master area, Shopkeeper Zhao became even angrier.
Sometimes it really is like when it rains it pours. Qingfeng Gongzi, the cash cow of their Qixing Study, has become the son-in-law of a wealthy businessman and has not written a new book for a year and three months.
Shopkeeper Zhao thought that if he continued like this, the name Qingfeng Gongzi would soon be forgotten and completely drowned out by the endless stream of newcomers. What a pity.
Turn the scene back to Moxiangzhai.
Song Xing held the beautifully packaged "Paper Bride" and looked at Qi Moxuan expectantly, "Shopkeeper Qi, you said that the master's calligraphy is hidden on any page of this book, right?"
Qi Moxuan reached out and took the book out of Song Xing's arms, and then, in the other's surprised eyes, signaled the servant to put the book back to its place.
He no longer wanted to keep Song Xing in suspense, and directly pulled out a new book from the bookshelf behind him. He smiled and handed it to the heroic young man in front of him, "I heard that Song Tongsheng is going to go out to study. This book is a gift from me and Mr. Nancheng to you. I wish you all the best on your trip."
Song Xing took the book from Qi Moxuan in a daze and asked in disbelief, "Does the old man know that I'm going out to study?"
