Chapter 38 Consequences
"Hey, young man, from what Lao Li said, you seem to be a book writer too."
"Yes! Lao Chang, fortunately you are here today. I never see you at all. You have also read many collections of classics. Come over and help me find out what this book written by Mr. Wu is like. Sample?"
"You guys go back and continue working. Maintain order in the store. Master Chang Jiu is enough."
Li Sishu greeted Chang Jiuye in a low voice, pulled him to sit aside, and then waved his hand to tell the gathered employees to return to their posts.
"Let me see."
Chang Jiuye picked up one of the manuscripts and looked at it.
"Snow in Shuofang? Lu Xun?"
Chang Jiuye continued to look down, and then murmured.
"Snow in the north. That girl Xiao Jiujiu begged me to take her to see the snow. I had no choice but to take her from Qingce Village to Mingyun Town. It took me two days to finally see the real snow. Xiao Jiujiu was very happy Happy, I am very happy too, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to go see the snow with her?"
“The rain in the warm country has never turned into the cold, hard and brilliant snowflakes...The snow in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely moist and beautiful...The snowflakes in Shuofang will always remain the same after they fly. Pink, like sand... Yes, that is the lonely snow, the dead rain, the spirit of the rain."
"This article is scattered in form and spirit. Through the detailed description of the soft snow scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and the majestic snow scenery in the north, it expresses the author's admiration for the snow in the north. Good article, good article! This is the first time I have seen such an article, comparable to I’ve seen much better ones before! What’s the style of this article?”
Chang Jiuye praised Xun Xin happily, then threw away the small book in his hand and hit the clerk at the front desk.
"prose."
Wu Ye replied.
"Prose? These articles were all written by you?! I see that the author's name in each article is almost different."
"No, I'm just a person who is lucky enough to collect these articles. Chang Jiuye and Brother Si Shu, you can read this quote to know the details."
Wu Ye handed the manuscript of the quotation to the two of them for inspection.
After a while, the two of them suddenly realized it, and Li Sishu suggested:
"Wu Ye, why don't you add a framework to give a general background to these dynasties and the author, and then add a sentence, 'The above content is personal fiction, and any similarity is purely coincidental.' In this way, students and readers will not Instead of dwelling on the questions, focus on reading the article.”
"Well, let's give a general background. Let's call it Huaxia. As for that sentence, don't add it. After all, it's not fiction, it is real! Let me add a sentence at the end of the quotation. Brother Secretary, you have an inkstone here. Follow the pen?"
"Of course there is, I'll get it for you quickly."
Li Sishu stood up and walked quickly to the front desk, then handed the brush dipped in ink to Wu Ye with both hands. Wu Ye was not polite and directly picked up the pen and wrote in the quotation part:
The above contents are all obtained by the author from the Chinese Kingdom in a different world called "Earth", and the contents appearing in the article are all real.
"Is this good? Doesn't this mean that Wu Ye, you..."
"It's okay, Brother Secretary, I have indeed lived in a different world. Is this your first time hearing about a different world?"
"Well, that's not true. I've heard of people traveling to different worlds before, but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. Well, it seems that I have to keep your identity a secret. I can't let the people of Liyue..."
"Oh! No, the people of Liyue are not very yearning for life in another world. You should worry about the Dao Wife people. Almost all their literary works that have been spread to Liyue are about other worlds. As long as you let them know that you... .Wu Ye, you may be tied to Dao's wife."
Li Sishu said solemnly.
"Is that so? It seems that I really need to pay attention."
Wu Ye was a little embarrassed, and then he formally started to ask:
"Brother Secretary Secretary, do you think my book can be published?"
"Yes! Why not?! As you said in the quotation, this is not a novel, an essay, or a historical record. After just reading a few pages, I knew that this was a book with obvious teaching significance. I started Isn’t this the kind of book a bookstore is for?”
"This is the book I have dreamed of! I must publish it. Maybe after this book is published by Yamoxuan, I, Yamoxuan, will be the only bookstore in Liyue Port."
"What's more important is that this book allows the majority of students to no longer have to read those difficult and unreasonable ancient texts. This is an educational reform! Maybe the entire Liyue Port literary circle will have a big earthquake because of this!"
Li Sishu said impassionedly, which once again made the quiet reading guests look angry, and the waiters around them had to rush to comfort them.
"Wait! Lao Li."
Chang Jiuye shouted lowly, and Li Sishu turned his head to look at him in confusion.
"Have you forgotten that the current teaching books are strictly controlled by that group of people? Aren't you afraid of harming their interests? They are inextricably related to Qixing. When the time comes, your Yamo books will be seized. Isn’t Xuan just a casual remark?”
Chang Jiuye expressed his worries.
"Oh, I'm not afraid! There are people above them. Is there no Yamoxuan that I can open as big as this?"
Li Sishu sneered.
Wu Ye thought that it was bad and gave him a chance to fill the cup. He saw Li Si Shu with his hands behind his back, the breeze blowing and his hair flying, he opened his mouth and said:
"It's a pity that today's famous scholars open their mouths about classics but shut up about ancient precepts. They are busy between pens and inkstones all day long. I think these people can only count the bad and the bad, and dance with their writing. The country's national plans and the safety of the country cannot rely on them. The mastermind?”
"What's more, for their own benefit, they deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, and declare that reading articles written by them is the only way to read books, which has caused the literary world to be full of chaos!"
"They are exaggerators and unreasonable quibbles! These are those who deceive themselves and others with their vanity. They sit and talk and think they are unmatched, but they are incompetent in responding to crises! This sincerity is the ridicule of the world!"
"well said!"
Wu Ye echoed loudly, attracting the attention of everyone in Yamoxuan. Finally, those guests who were reading couldn't bear it anymore and took out wrenches, hammers, rulers, and muskets from their crotches!
After a harmonious exchange, Li Sishu lay on the ground with a blue nose and swollen eyes.
"Don't think that just because you are the boss, you can yell in a bookstore. Your quality is really low."
"Yes, this affects my reading. What should I do if I lose energy while pounding iron at night?"
"I'm going to teach in a school later. If you can't understand the annotations of these ancient texts, can you teach my students?!"
"That's not true. I'm going to Xumi to work as a mercenary tomorrow. I just want to read some colorful books to relax. How dare you disturb me!"
......
When Wu Ye and Chang Jiuye saw that something was wrong, they immediately ran outside the store. When Li Sishu also wanted to run away, the clerk quickly stopped him and kept him inside. The clerk said sadly, "Boss, if you leave, The customers will hit us.”
After the guests' anger subsided, Wu Ye and the others quietly walked in and helped Li Sishu up. Wu Ye helplessly shook his head and said:
"That's what being loud in a bookstore does."
