Because their parents only have two sons and no daughter.
In order to take care of his younger brother and to take care of his parents in their old age, Xu Shi does not plan to get married and only wants to find a son-in-law.
Unfortunately, in the Great Sheng Dynasty where women were superior to men, few women were willing to be a live-in son-in-law. So Xu Shi's marriage was delayed until now, when he was nineteen years old, and there was still no marriage.
Xu's father and mother were worried about him, but Xu Shi himself was not anxious.
"Let's not talk about getting married." Xu Heng quickly changed the subject, worried that his brother would care about this matter. He waved the book in his hand and said, "Brother, I'm telling the truth. There's a storybook here that's really good."
Xu Shi was skeptical. He took the book and flipped through it with his slender fingers.
When he saw the introduction, his originally casual look became serious.
I couldn't calm down for a long time until I finished reading all 10,000 words.
"How about it, brother, isn't it beautiful?"
"Yeah." Xu Shi nodded, then walked out with the books and magazines. "I have to go out for something. You don't have to wait for me to come back for dinner."
"Brother, where are you going? Please return the books to me."
Where was Xu Shi going? Naturally, he was going to Taohua Bookstore.
Back then, Xu Shi was from a poor family and planned to try to make money by writing storybooks. However, when he took his manuscript to several bookstores, the owners either criticized his storybooks as worthless or said that his storybooks were the type that ordinary people would not like. They even refused to let him give it a try by serializing his storybooks in books or magazines.
Afterwards, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he entered the largest bookstore at that time, Taohua Bookstore, and met his mentor, Yang Xin.
As soon as Yang Xin read his manuscript, he said that he could serialize his story in books and magazines, and immediately signed a 50-50 profit sharing agreement.
Afterwards, his storybooks became popular in books and magazines.
Gradually, his words can be sold as separate books.
After that, his vernacular books could be bought not only in Taohua Bookstore in Renhe County, but also in Taohua Bookstores in other places.
Over the years, the agreement they signed changed from the initial 50-50 split to 64% and then to 73%.
Since the year before last, his storybooks have been adapted into picture books and storytelling. Last year, his storybooks were also performed on the stage of a drama troupe.
Yang Xin was his mentor and was very kind to him.
He believed that Yang Xin would definitely be interested in the author's novel "A Branch of Begonia".
It would be great if "Yizhi Haitang" could come to Taohua Bookstore to write storybooks.
In the industry of Dasheng Dynasty, poaching often occurs. This behavior is not shameful, but sufficient liquidated damages must be paid.
On the second day, Xu Heng also recommended this book to his classmates in the private school.
Renhe County is quietly creating a small craze for reading melodramatic novels.
As time goes by and more and more people read it, this small craze will gradually grow. In the end, as Song Wanxian and Yang Xin expected, it will completely set off a wave and add a strong and colorful stroke to the storytelling industry.

The next day, as Song Wanxian expected, the number of people buying books and magazines almost doubled.
Song Wanxian saw hope.
On the third day, at daybreak, the streets were bustling with people coming and going.
At this time, Fengya Bookstore had not yet opened because it was still too early.
But there were already people in front of the door, seemingly queuing.
"What are you doing?" someone came forward and asked curiously.
