Tonight.
The news suddenly spread in Chang 'an.
"Have you heard?"
"I heard that the person who benefited us is the man of Xiao County!”
"What are you talking about?"
"You don't know? The imperial court had reduced the price of books. It was said that books could be mass-produced now, and the person who invented this technology was Xiao County Nan.”
"F * ck! So that was the reason. I was still wondering why books that were usually so expensive and unobtainable would be sold at such a low price overnight!”
"Xiao County Man, mighty!"
This was a group of scholars whispering to each other.
Imperial College.
"Xiao County Nan…is a good man!"
"This Thousand Character Essay is simply too simple!”
The few little princesses and little princes were in the midst of enlightenment. The thousand-character writings of the past were obscure and difficult to understand, and they were even difficult to memorize.
However, after the Three Character Classic appeared out of nowhere, this group of little princes and princesses were all overjoyed.
……
Xiuwen Workshop, the residence of the Minister of Justice, Xiao Yu.
"Father, isn't this Xiao Fan a branch of our Lan Ling Xiao clan?”
Xiao Rui, the eldest son of the Minister of Justice, Xiao Yu, asked.
Xiao Yu nodded deeply.”
His eyes gleamed as he looked at his eldest son, Xiao Rui, and said,"Dalang, bring Erlang to Wannian County and give him some gifts. We'll talk after we've established a good relationship.”
Xiao Yu finally made a decision.
He had to take advantage of such a famous matter. After all, Xiao Fan was also considered a member of his Lan Ling Xiao family. It would be a waste not to take advantage of him.
"Be nice. No matter what, Xiao Fan is your distant cousin, understand?”
"Understood, don't worry. I'll go now." Xiao Rui said calmly.”
After taking two steps, Xiao Rui said,"Father, don't forget my wife."”
"I'm talking business with you, but you're thinking about your wife?" Xiao Yu said angrily. Useless thing! I know. When Li Jing comes back, I'll go and propose marriage!”
……
"Brother, where are we going to buy so many gifts?”
The second brother, Xiao Kai, looked at his eldest brother, Xiao Rui, in confusion.
"Go ten thousand years and lick your cousin Xiao Fan's boots. Let's go.”
……
Wannian County, Xiao Manor.
"Please help me call Miss Xiao.”
Li Wan said to the guard.
Ever since she saw the first volume of The West Chamber yesterday in Chang 'an, Li Wan had been deeply attracted by the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng's love and hatred.
Last night, she had been tossed and turned unpredictably. After she found out that The Romance of the Western Chamber was written by Xiao Bufan, she came to Xiao Manor early this morning.
"Miss Xiao?" The gatekeeper was suspicious.
"Xiao Bufan."
"Oh, Ah Lang." The doorman looked at Li Wan strangely. She was a good girl, so why did she have to donate her eyes?
The guard shook his head and sighed as he went to look for Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan himself did not expect that he had only closed the book shop yesterday and had only put the first volume of a few novels on the market yesterday.
Who would have thought that the books last night had stirred up so many sleepless nights in the boudoirs of the young masters and ladies in Chang 'an!
Li Wan was obviously one of them.
The young masters and young ladies of the other families were just annoyed that this Xiao Bufan kept them in suspense. They wanted nothing more than to find Xiao Bufan so that he could quickly continue to publish books.
Who lacked that bit of money?
Was it good to hang people like this? This was not good.
Obviously, Li Wan was lucky because she knew the author, Xiao Bufan.
Not long after, Xiao Fan walked out.
Li Wan frowned.
Xiao Fan also frowned.
"Why is it you?"
"Why is it you?"
The two of them said in unison.
"Where's Sister Xiao?"
Xiao Fan's face twitched as he waved his hand and said,"I don't know. He's not at home.”
"Then do you know if Sister Xiao has written the next volume of 'Romance of the Western Chamber'?" Li Wan asked anxiously.”
Xiao Fan blurted out,"Yes."
Li Wan couldn't help but be overjoyed." Hurry up and bring it over.”
Xiao Fan frowned. A consistent volume."
Li Wan pursed her lips and muttered," Blood siblings. Why is Sister Xiao so understanding? Why do you look like a wicked businessman?" The difference is really huge!"
She took a deep breath." Why is it so cheap in the market but so expensive here?”
Xiao Fan said matter-of-factly,"Because the market hasn't come out yet. You can either wait obediently or pay more to see in advance."”
"You!" Li Wan was furious." Unreasonable!"
……
Not far away.
Brother, that's your wife."
Xiao Kai looked at the adulterous couple quarreling not far ahead and said to his eldest brother, Xiao Rui.
"Your future wife is together with our cousin.”Xiao Kai had a look of sympathy.
Pa!
Xiao Rui slapped his second brother's head." Don't talk nonsense if you don't know! Sister Wan 'er is that kind of person?"
He looked meaningfully at Xiao Fan beside Li Wan.
"That's our cousin."
"Phew, I'll go over in a while. I'll mention my advantages to Wan 'er, such as my current identity, my title, and so on. I want to secretly compare Xiao Fan to her.”
"Remember, you can't slap Xiao Fan's face too much, understand?”
"Big brother, I understand now." Xiao Kai said solemnly.”
Just like that.
The two of them quickly arrived in front of Li Wan and Xiao Fan.
"Sister Wan 'er, you're here too? What a coincidence." Xiao Kai asked politely.
He then said to Xiao Fan,"Hello, cousin. How have you been?"”
What?
Why did he have another cheap cousin?
"Who are you?" Xiao Fan was a little vigilant.
"Me! Xiao Rui! Xiao Yu's eldest son, we're related. We're both from the Xiao family of Lanling. Have you forgotten?”
After saying that, he clicked his tongue and looked at Xiao Fan."Cousin, you're not bad. Although you're a branch of our Lan Ling Xiao clan and you're only a county boy, you just need to work hard in the future.”
Xiao Kai immediately understood and said to Xiao Fan,"That's right, cousin. You have to work hard so that you can catch up to my big brother. He is already a county of Chang 'an. Although you are not as good as him, don't belittle yourself.”
F * ck!
Xiao Fan was shocked.
How could he not know that these two fellows were here to pick up girls?
These words were obviously meant for Li Wan.
It is better to tear down a temple than to destroy a marriage.
Xiao Fan smiled and said,"Alright, I'll try my best to be like you."”
Xiao Rui was very satisfied. This cousin was too good.
" You have to work hard," he said calmly." You can become a county viscount in seven or eight years. Your status will be upgraded if you enter this title."”
"It's not that I'm boasting, but there are very few people in Chang 'an who can become a county magistrate at my age.”
After saying that, he looked at Li Wan proudly and said shyly,"Sister Wan 'er, forgive me for being so abrupt.”
Li Wan pursed her lips.
This person was really good at pretending!
They had only met a few times, but Sister Wan 'er was long and Sister Wan' er was short?
He was even worse than Xiao Fan!
As the four of them spoke.
Not far away, the palace guards and the chamberlain slowly walked over in a huge formation.
From afar, he could hear the eunuch shouting at the top of his lungs,"
"Xiao County Man, Xiao County Man, the imperial edict is here.”
