Chapter 78: A peerless book, young master Shen is truly a master!
Translator: 549690339
âThatâs right, Iâm that useless pretty boy who lives off a woman.â Shen lang smiled.
Zhu Wenhua was speechless when he heard this.
F * ck, could Shen lang be more shameless than this?
At that moment, there were three other ladies in the bookstore. They looked like they were from wealthy families. They were initially shocked by Shen Langâs handsome looks, but they could not help but curse when they heard what he said.
âWhy are the two of you not in Xuanwu city? what are you doing in my Lanshan city?â Zhu Wenhua asked.
Before Shen lang could answer, Jin mucong said proudly, â âPublish a book.â
âPublish a book?â âWhen did writing become so lowly?â Zhu Wenhua asked.
The meaning was clear. Any Tom, Dick, and Harry could publish a book?
There was no doubt that Jin mucong was a famous loser within a few hundred miles.
Although Shen lang was outstanding in Xuanwu city, in the memories of everyone in Lanshan city, he was still an ignorant, useless, and vain person.
Zhu Wenhua smiled. if I remember correctly, brother Shen lang studied in a school in a town for almost ten years. You havenât even completed your primary studies, right? â
Everyone couldnât help but laugh when they heard this.
What kind of books could these two ignorant and incompetent people write? Iâm afraid he canât even recognize all the words.
Shen lang ignored him and passed the manuscript to the manager of the Jade Pavilion.
Not only was this person the boss, but he was also considered to have read countless books.
He had heard about Shen lang and Jin mucongâs reputation.
What good could these two ignorant and incompetent people write?
However, Jin mucong was, after all, the Crown Prince of the palace of the Earl. The owner of Jade Pavilion did not want to offend him. He took the manuscript respectfully and looked serious on the surface, but he was actually reading it casually.
He even had a draft in his mind. The Princeâs writing was very unique, as expected of the descendant of a famous family. But Iâm very sorry, my alternate account doesnât have any plans to release new books recently. You can go to other bookstores to ask, such as the fragrant ink restaurant.
However, after watching a few paragraphs ...
The shopkeeperâs expression changed.
His level of appreciation was far from the Earl of Xuanwuâs, but he was still stunned.
Every paragraph in the book showed the authorâs deep analysis of human nature and the secular world.
Not only that, the poems and sentences were not gorgeous, and even a little cynical, but they were very sophisticated.
He continued reading.
The shopkeeper of this bookstore was becoming more and more stunning and shocking.
Many of the detailed descriptions in it really made people clap their hands and call it amazing.
This level was extremely high.
However, in the eyes of the bookstore owner, this book was not without its flaws.
First, it was too vulgar and elegant. It required a high level of literary attainments to understand the deep meaning within. To ordinary people, it was just a vulgar erotic novel.
Secondly, the main customers of Jade-like Pavilion were all women. They liked the lingering love stories of men and women, especially the love and hatred of the children of the rich and powerful.
But even so, he was willing to publish this book, even if it couldnât earn him any money, even if it was a bit of a lowly position.
At this moment, Zhu Wenhua took the manuscript and skimmed through two pages.
And then,
His expression was as if he was constipated. He looked extremely uncomfortable, as if he was about to vomit.
I didnât expect that there would be such a vulgar thing in this world, â he said with a sigh. the person who wrote such words is a disgrace to scholars.
After saying that, he handed the manuscript to a woman in a brocade robe beside him.
This woman was the daughter of an official and a fanatical admirer of Zhu Wenhua. She was obsessed with the stories of talented people and beautiful women.
Her literary attainments were average, but she had read too many books and commented on almost every popular book, so she had the name of a talented woman in Lanshan city.
After she took over Shen Langâs â endless wind and moon â manuscript, she only read one page and her heart was beating fast. Her face was red.
Yingying was so exciting.
He really wanted to continue watching.
However, I canât do that. Iâm a talented woman, a lady from a noble family, how can I like such a poisonous plant?
Then everyone would think that Iâm a shameless woman.
The lady hesitated for three seconds. Then, she threw Shen Langâs manuscript on the ground and stepped on it.
unsightly and vulgar. Master Zhu is right. People who write such unsightly words are the shame of scholars.
Zhu Wenhua smiled smugly. He knew this would be the result.
Then, he said to the shopkeeper of Jade Pavilion, â shopkeeper mo, if you want to publish this book, then Iâm very sorry. From now on, my book canât be published under your name because I really canât associate with such a despicable person.
After saying that, he glanced at the woman beside him.
Even though these girls were a little touched when they saw such a handsome man like Shen lang, they had been fans of Zhu Wenhua for many years. When they saw young master Zhuâs gaze, they immediately changed their stance.
shopkeeper mo, â the officialâs daughter said, â this manuscript is extremely mediocre and unsightly. If you want to publish this book, weâll never step into your bookstore again.
As soon as he said this, the dozen or so women around him responded one after another.
The bookstore owner panicked. Although there were only a dozen women, they were indeed the leaders of the circle of socialites in Lanshan city. If they boycotted Jade Pavilion, the entire circle of socialites in Lanshan city would boycotted them as well.
As such, the losses would be huge.
He originally wanted to publish Shen Langâs book, but he could only give up.
Hence, the shopkeeper picked up the manuscript and handed it back to Jin mucong respectfully. Your Highnessâs book is very unique, as expected of the descendant of a famous family. But Iâm very sorry, my alternate account has no plans to release new books recently. Can you ask other bookstores, such as the fragrant Ink Shop? â
Jin mucong was furious.
This book of yours is so good, and youâre not going to publish it? Werenât they blind?
âLetâs go.â Shen lang pulled him.
In that short period of time, Shen lang already had a comprehensive plan in his mind.
Not only was the plan to use Zhu Wenhua as a stepping stone to rise to power completed.
Even the plan to cripple him had already been completed!
There were even a, B, and C plans.
......
Shen lang and Jin mucong walked out of the Jade Pavilion.
A moment later, Zhu Wenhua blocked their way.
He revealed a light smile and said, â âShen lang, stop wasting time. No bookstore in the entire Lanshan city would publish books for you. This is not Xuanwu city, this is the Lanshan city of the Zhu family.â
Bah!
Your Zhu family is a disgrace to the old aristocratic families. The mayor of Yangwu County didnât even make a move, and you knelt down and handed over your fief and military power.
You still have the face to say itâs your Zhu familyâs Lanshan city.
âGo back. Go back to your Xuanwu city.â âAs long as I call for it, no one in the entire Lanshan city bookstore will dare to publish a book for you,â Zhu Wenhua said.
âZhu Wenhua, what right do you have to go against us?â Jin mucong said coldly.
Shen lang was speechless.âYou fat otaku, how can you say such childish and idiotic words? arenât you giving the other party a chance to show off?â
As expected, Zhu Wenhuaâs face was filled with a smile of superiority.âDo I, Zhu Wenhua, need a reason to suppress anyone?â
......
After that, Shen lang did not visit any other bookstores in Lanshan city.
However, Jin mucong was unwilling to give up. He went to the fragrant ink restaurant first and was rejected.
Then, he went to the second, third, and fourth bookstores.
Without exception, they were all rejected.
Under the influence of Zhu Wenhua and his fans, no one in the entire Lanshan city was willing to publish Shen Langâs book.
Shen lang could not help but think of a saying.
A God suppressing a newcomer, a God suppressing a failure.
Bah! It was wrong!
It was probably the old gods suppressing future Platinum.
The sky was already dark. Jin mucong said dejectedly, â âBrother-in-law, are we just going to go back home like this?â
Then, he gritted his teeth. no, this book of ours is so good. I donât believe it canât be sold. Letâs go to the neighboring Zhengyang city.
Shen lang shook his head. no need. Follow me!
......
Half an hour later!
Shen lang came to a bookstore and saw a middle-aged man with a cunning look.
After he took the manuscript, he skimmed through it.
He quickly flipped to a specific page and immediately read it with great interest.
âGood, good book, itâs exciting, Yingluo.â
Oh my God, thereâs even an illustration. This drawing is too realistic. This is great, Yingluo.
âA peerless good book, a peerless good book, Yingluoâ
âThen, you are willing to publish our book?â Jin mucong was overjoyed.
âIâm willing, Iâm willing, Iâm more than willing.â The middle-aged shopkeeper said.
âYou can tell that this is an excellent book just by reading a few paragraphs?â Jin mucong asked.
The lecherous middle-aged man replied, â of course. Iâve read countless books and my heart is already as calm as an ancient well. However, this book of yours still makes my heart flutter. Of course, itâs a peerless book.
âThen, arenât you afraid that Zhu Wenhua will ban you?â Jin mucong asked.
The shriveled middle-aged man read some paragraphs reluctantly and chuckled,âIâm just a picture book seller, why would I be afraid of him banning me?â
âThe one selling those pictures?â Jin mucong couldnât help but exclaim.
âWhatâs wrong?â Shen lang and the lecherous middle-aged man looked over.
Yes, so what if they sold art books? Was everyone trying to enrich the Peopleâs leisure and cultural life?
âNo, nothing.â Fat otaku immediately cowered.
Shen lang was filled with disdain. What did this fat otaku know?
Even though the fragrant ink Pavilion and Jade Pavilion seemed so Grand, in terms of distribution channels, they were far inferior to this shopkeeper Deng.
Shopkeeper Deng was able to put every special picture book on display in every shop in Lanshan city. Even coffin shops had them.
Not only that, but his business was huge. He could sell his goods to four to five counties and more than twenty cities.
âHow should I address you, shopkeeper?â Jin mucong asked.
âIâm Deng Xian.â The lecherous middle-aged man said.
He quickly finished reading the manuscript and was full of praise.
When they saw the illustrations that Shen lang had drawn, they were even more shocked.
A master!
He was definitely a master!
This Lao AIâs standard, this character, this charm, this degree of realism, it was much better than his album.
It wasnât that he was saying that the things in his house werenât good, but if he really had to comment on the atlases he was selling, he could only use one sentence to describe it-he felt nothing.
The style was too casual.
On the other hand, Shen Langâs illustrations were based on Western sketches. Therefore, the level of realism could not be compared to the drawings in this world.
âItâll definitely sold well, itâll definitely sell well.â âMy two young masters, if this book canât sell more than 3000 copies, Iâll twist my head off and let you two kick it like a ball,â Deng Xian said.
â3000 copies? You must be joking!â âMy goal is to break all the records,â Shen lang said.
I only have one request. Itâs to be released at the same time as Zhu Wenhuaâs Volume 2 of âMandarin Duck dreamsâ. Then, Iâll crush him into dust!
