Chapter 220 Little Lady's Signing Event

A classic and demure little lady, facing everyone's surprised eyes, walked lightly with lotus steps, her skirt was light and fluttering, and her steps were firmly inserted into her bun, which stunned the group of people. up.

  This little beauty in ancient costume is Ban Shu? !

   What a joke!

   "Master..."

  The little lady looked back nervously. There were so many people, but the son pushed her to the front, and Sister Yuwan walked behind her, making her not know how to deal with it.

   "Just go into the bookstore, everyone, make room, Mr. Ban Shu wants to go in!"

   Chen Ji said with a smile, giving her an encouraging look.

  Xia Shumin calmed down a lot.

  She looked at the crowd in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Fathers and folks, little girl..."

   "Mr. Ban Shu is here?!"

   Several old-school scholars walked out of the bookstore. Chen Ji only recognized Huang Hao from the company, who was the publishing house he contacted, so he also came today.

   "Where is Mr. Ban Shu?"

   "Dream of Red Mansions who can continue to write such high-level characters must have a good communication with Mr. Ban Shu today!"

   "Where's Mr. Ban Shu? The poem about Grand View Garden being ransacked in the continuation..."

  Seven or eight old-school scholars rushed out, with eager expressions on their faces, and they couldn't wait to communicate with the author of Ban Shu's version of Dream of Red Mansions.

   But they turned their heads left and right to search, but they couldn't find the elegant, elegant, well-educated and elderly "Mr." in their minds.

  There was only one little girl in an ancient costume, her face was flushed, and she looked quite cute and delicate.

   "Professor Zuo."

  A man looked at Xia Shumin in a daze, and pointed at her: "This is Mr. Ban Shu..."

  Seven or eight red scholars who have studied the Dream of Red Mansions turned their eyes in unison, with suspicious expressions in their eyes.

  A group of fans who wanted to find Mr. Ban Shu's signature were also silent.

   Behind the blushing little lady, Chen Ji and Zhou Wan looked at each other and laughed together.

   "Editor-in-chief! And professors."

Huang Hao stood up quickly, gestured towards Xia Shumin, and said with a warm smile: "Please allow me to introduce you solemnly. This one is Miss Xia Shumin, who was called Mr. Ban Shu after writing forty chapters of the Dream of the Red Chamber. After her These two are the chairman of our company, Chen Ji, and the executive president, Miss Zhou Wan!"

  Huang Hao's current position is the vice president of Siwei Technology. He is fully responsible for the game work, and his annual salary alone has risen to a million.

  Compared to before, Huang Hao is much stronger now, and he is also energetic, and he will give you a grand introduction with a red face!

   "You are Mr. Ban Shu?! Continue writing Dream of the Red Chamber?!"

  As a professor of the Chinese Department of a certain university, Zuo Zhongmin stared at this little lady in ancient costume with wide eyes.

  Are you kidding me? This little girl looks like she just started high school. Can she continue to write Dream of the Red Chamber?

  The silent crowd all looked at her together.

  Chen Ji didn't say anything, he believed in Xia Shumin.

   She took a deep breath, and said in a crisp voice: "The little girl is not talented, she is the companion who continued to write forty chapters of the Dream of the Red Chamber. Thank you for coming today!"

  The polite tone made everyone unable to react for a while.

  Chen Ji smiled and said, "Let's go in first."

Huang Hao hurriedly asked the editor-in-chief to arrange. A group of old professors and red scholars looked at each other in disbelief, but couldn't find an excuse to refute for a while. They intuitively told them that this was a farce, but Ban Shu's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was really a continuation. Wonderful, so they don't want to miss it.

  So, a group of people poured into the bookstore.

  Xia Shumin didn't even have time to see what the bookstore looked like, so she was surrounded by the crowd and sat down at the main seat, facing a large group of book buyers with different expressions.

   Fortunately, Young Master and Sister Wan are in the audience, so she won't be at a loss.

   "The characters and storylines in Dream of the Red Chamber can be described as happy and sad, rich and poor, half of life happy, half life desolate."

Under the stage, Professor Zuo Zhongmin looked at Xia Shumin, shook his head and said with emotion: "Little girl, it's not that I don't believe in you, but it's not easy to continue writing Dream of the Red Chamber. Even if you have a good literary talent, you can't write without life experience... Ren Editor-in-chief, are you sure she is the author?"

  He even wondered if Ren Tianhua introduced a sixteen or seventeen-year-old high school girl as a gimmick in order to promote books and attract people's attention.

"this…"

  Ren Tianhua was also shocked when he saw that such a young girl was actually Mr. Ban Shu.

  Everyone discussed in low voices, most of them looked at the stage with distrust.

   "Chen Ji, do you want to do something to help Shu Min?"

   Zhou Wan who was sitting next to him whispered to him.

  Chen Ji shook his head, "Don't worry too much, don't read Shumin nervous and easily shy, but she comes from a famous family after all, and she is not at all ambiguous about major matters."

   Sure enough.

Xia Shumin, who was questioned, seemed to have been aroused to fight, and became eloquent, and he said: "Gan Luo made twelve ministers, and took sixteen cities for Qin; Wang Bo wrote the preface to the Tengwang Pavilion, when he was fourteen, The champion Hou Bei defeated the Xiongnu, sealed the wolves and lived in Xuxu, and he was not weak. It can be seen that the people who have achieved great things in the past and present are mostly young and arrogant."

  The words were quoted from the classics, and the crisp voice spread, which shocked Professor Zuo Zhongmin and the fans and readers around him again.

   But it's not over yet.

"Shu Min is now sixteen. He could read and write poems at the age of three and read the Six Classics at the age of ten. Shu Min once lived in the capital with his father. In the past ten years, he has seen the rise and fall of the officialdom and learned many things about the world from his mother. In addition, people have continued many editions of A Dream of Red Mansions before. When Shumin was thirteen years old, he read through no less than a hundred editions. Afterwards, he brought together the directors of various schools to write this edition, which Shumin feels satisfied with. If the old man If you don’t believe me, you can take the content written in the first eighty chapters of A Dream of Red Mansions and ask.”

  The long words were finished by her in one breath, and before she could say a word, her aura rose a bit. After she finished speaking, the doubts of the audience were suppressed by the amazing momentum of her petite body.

  A group of old professors and red scientists were surprised and amazed.

  Zhou Wan witnessed this scene, and then glanced at Chen Ji, how did this guy find such a talented little lady?

   "What you said is not unreasonable."

  Zuo Zhongmin's brows stretched out. This little girl looks quiet, but in fact she is eloquent. She has a bit of the charm of those female writers in the newspapers during the Republic of China in the last century.

   People who read a lot, you still can't understand when they scold others.

  The little girl in front of me is also unambiguous in her rebuttals. It can be seen that she has read books, and she has read a lot, and her literary talent is outstanding.

   "Then tell me, why did you arrange for the Grand View Garden to raid the house like that? You also want to write about Sister Feng's return to the soul. I wrote it in the previous article..."

  Zuo Zhongmin began to "fight" with this little girl.

   Yes, it’s fighting skills.

  Even if Xia Shumin clearly stated that she was writing a continuation, not the original, but wanted to be recognized by the academic circles that a 16- or 17-year-old girl was capable of continuing the Dream of the Red Chamber and that it was published, she had to pass his test.

  Otherwise, Dream of the Red Chamber is no longer a joke?

   "Sister Feng's return to the soul has already been foreshadowed in the previous article."

  Xia Shumin was not afraid, and "argued" with Zuo Zhongmin, more than a dozen professors and scholars, and a large group of fans from all walks of life.

  During the period, she quoted various classics, and frequently uttered good sentences.

  At the end, everyone in the huge bookstore shut up.

   A group of people can't beat her.

Zuo Zhongmin was convinced, and cupped his hands towards Xia Shumin, who was wearing an ancient costume on the stage and drinking water to moisturize his throat, and said with emotion: "Mr. Ban Shu is very knowledgeable. I, a professor of the Chinese Department, have not read as many ancient classics as my husband. Yes. The ancient prose spoken by many gentlemen is even unheard of, and I am convinced to continue writing Dream of the Red Chamber with my literary talent!"

  Everyone nodded.

   Nowadays, few people refer to female teachers as husbands. Xia Shumin is probably the youngest husband.

  The little lady on the stage blushed at her words, and hurriedly replied: "The old man praised me, the little girl just read a few more books."

  The gentle tone made her fans and readers couldn't help laughing.

   "I found myself accepting that Ms. Ban Shu is the continuation author of Dream of Red Mansions, what should I do if I think it's amazing?"

  A girl looked at Xia Shumin, who was cute yet elegant and graceful, with shining eyes.

   "It's amazing to think about it. Such a temperamental girl actually continued to write Dream of the Red Chamber. Ms. Banshu will be my idol in the future!"

   "She calls herself a little girl, but she doesn't violate harmony at all, she's so cute, so cute, my God, how can there be a girl who talks so cutely and looks so cute?!"

  The guy is still reserved, but the girls start screaming.

  The signing event is originally a promotional event for fans.

  The reporters at the scene snapped pictures one after another and posted them on Weibo and various websites. They had a premonition that today's signing will be popular.

  Editor Ren was grinning from ear to ear, and the bookstore that provided the venue also seized the opportunity. After obtaining permission from Xia Shumin and Chen Ji, he immediately took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Xia Shumin to write a few words on the spot as a souvenir.

  No one will doubt whether Xia Shumin, who has read so many poems and books, can write calligraphy.

  But Miss Banshu's calligraphic skills are still impressive.

  I saw her skillfully picking up the writing brush, holding the wide and long sleeves with her left hand, with graceful movements, writing strokes in small letters on the large paper stroke by stroke.

"Huh?"

  From the first word she wrote, the manager of the bookstore showed a surprised expression.

  This piece of paper was originally only used to write a few words, and it was framed and hung on the wall, with Ms. Ban Shu's signature on it.

   But judging from her meaning, it seems that she wants to write a long article?

   "All the sages have arrived, and the young and old have gathered together. Here are..."

  Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, and everyone surrounded her to watch.

   Obviously, Xia Shumin wrote an ancient essay.

   Write the preface first, explaining the situation of today's signing, and then write people and things.

  The ancient prose of more than 300 characters is written in one go, with occasional smears in the middle, which is normal, and the writing is very beautiful.

  When she finished writing the signature, put down the pen and looked up, everyone was completely stunned.

   "No wonder people can continue the Dream of Red Mansions, this ancient prose skills... hiss!"

  The way people looked at her changed again.

   "Good article!"

  Professor Zuo praised.

   Still wanting to say something, the manager of the bookstore couldn't wait to say: "Miss Ban Shu, our store is willing to spend 500,000 yuan to buy your ink, what do you think?!"

He firmly believes that Ms. Ban Shu will be popular, as will the continuation of Dream of the Red Chamber and the ancient essay she wrote today, not to mention the technique and content of this article, just buying ink for 500,000 yuan is enough Let the fame of his bookstore spread fiercely, attracting countless people to visit.

   "Half a million?!"

  The little lady who had just finished writing the article was suddenly attracted by this number, and she subconsciously asked, "I don't know how much five hundred thousand taels of silver is?"

   "Silver?"

   The manager of the Shuying Bookstore looked astonished.

   "Ahem!"

  Chen Ji quickly interrupted the topic, "Sell it if you want, the price of 500,000 is not bad."

  The little lady earned money by writing novels in Yongkang County, and now her ink marks can sell for half a million, so it's no wonder she isn't tempted.

   Seeing that after she finished writing, there was fine and fragrant sweat on the tip of her small nose and smooth forehead, Chen Ji picked up a piece of tissue and wiped it carefully for her.

   "Master..."

  Xia Shumin forgot about making money, and smiled shyly.

   Fans and readers all around shouted that dog food is delicious.

  …

   After writing the article, the signing will start normally.

Strictly speaking, today is just a publicity event. The publishing house only brought 500 books. Xia Shumin signed from noon to 4 pm before finally signing. There was basically no rest in the middle, and even lunch was with Chen Ji and Zhou Wan. to solve.

   This is also the first time she eats takeaway on Earth.

   "Young Master, Sister Wan, shall we go?"

  As soon as the signing session was over, Xia Shumin was about to leave in a hurry.

   After going to the garage and getting into the Mercedes-Benz, she breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

   It is not difficult to guess that Mr. Ban Shu is really afraid of these enthusiastic fans and readers.

  The big bookstore, which can accommodate more than a thousand people, is crowded by the crowd, and there are more and more people, even if there are only 500 books, it can't stop it.

   "Will you come next time?"

  Chen Ji suppressed a smile and said: "If you want to make more money, you need to fly to more cities to promote it. This will be the case in the next two or three months."

   "Two or three months!?"

  The little lady opened her eyes wide.

"Don't listen to him." Zhou Wan slapped him and said with a smile: "He is rich now, I also put 200 million in his card, and tomorrow he has to sign a contract and earn tens of billions. Shumin doesn't need to be so tired."

   "Oh...Young Master and Sister Wan earn more money."

  Xia Shumin gave up.

  She doesn't want to take part in such a publicity event for two or three months, it's tiring, since the young master has money, let him support the family in the future, as long as she takes care of the servants in the family.

   "Shall we go to dinner now?"

   Zhou Wan asked, she looks and is in a good mood now, and participating in this signing will be like a vacation for her.

   "Go to Sister Wan's house?"

  Xia Shumin proposed.

   "Do you remember this?"

   "Of course, sister Wan, you said it this morning."

   "Chen Ji, what do you think?"

   "Okay, let's go, sit tight!"

  The two beauties in the back row of the car made a decision, and Chen Ji naturally wouldn't object, and drove the Mercedes out of the garage.

   "Shu Min, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing that "Shu Ying Fu"?"

   "The store is the first to give it to me after taking out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Am I not allowed to write an article in return?"

   "Ah? Was there such a rule in ancient times?"

   "Isn't the store owner the convener of this campaign?"

   "Hee hee, no, no, it's us!"

  Zhou Wan couldn't help laughing again, Shumin still has a lot to understand about modern society, and she will have to teach her patiently for a while in the future.

but.

  It is not good for her to stay in the modern society all the time, in case she stays here for a month, but it will be a hundred years after she returns to Zhao.

  Teach her slowly later.

  …

  The car drove all the way, and after half an hour, it arrived at Linjiang Community, Binjiang Dijing.

  Xia Shumin, who came to the financial center for the first time, was already stunned.

  She has also seen high-rise buildings in the apocalypse, but the night is different from the daytime. The glass curtain wall of the building under the sun emits dazzling brilliance, the bustling river view, and the most shocking scene of a modern city are directly displayed in front of her.

   "Does Shumin want to live here?"

  Zhou Wan smiled at her, pointed to the river and said, "The river view will be more beautiful at night, I will take you up to see it later!"

"Uh-huh!"

  Xia Shumin nodded excitedly, took her hand and chatted with her.

  Chen Ji's face was weird, Zhou Wan wanted the little lady to live in her top-floor duplex tonight?

  The car was parked, the three of them got out of the car, and took the elevator to the top floor.

  Xia Shumin watched Zhou Wan use her fingerprints and face to open the thick and heavy door, and a large, luxuriously decorated and glamorous house appeared inside.

The bright and bright chandelier, the luminous floor, the huge window that can see the building and the river outside the window at a glance, it is only a small two-story building, and there are no groups of servants, but it makes her feel that the place is The level of luxury is no less than her home.

   After all, this is a bustling big city, the top floor of a tall building.

"so high…"

   Xia Shumin, who was wearing a skirt, stood one meter away from the floor-to-ceiling window, tiptoed to look into the distance, and exclaimed.

  Chen Ji and Zhou Wan couldn't help laughing.

  The little lady dared not approach the floor-to-ceiling windows for fear that the windows would be broken.

   "Sister Wan, how bright does such a big lamp have to be at night?"

   "Sister Wan, do you live here with the young master? Oh, you live alone without a servant?"

  Chen Ji followed the two of them, listening to the curious little lady throwing out questions one after another, and seeing these two beauties, one tall and one short, but with excellent figure and temperament, he couldn't help feeling:

   Sure enough, she should buy a big house, otherwise Xia Shumin wouldn't be suitable to live in. She should live in such a big house, just like her family's villa in Hongye Mountain.

  Has the intermediary found a suitable house? urgent!

   "There are more on it."

  Zhou Wan took Xia Shumin up to the second floor, and showed her her usual place, the floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as the tea table, sofa and bookshelf by the window, expressing that she likes to enjoy the river view while reading a book in the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room on the second floor after taking a bath at night.

  The little lady's eyes sparkled, full of envy and yearning.

Zhou Wan finally tried to ask: "How is it? Do you want to live here tonight, including in the future, you will live here with your son, and I will temporarily let you live in this apartment until you buy a house, no rent~! "

good.

  She wants Chen Ji and Xia Shumin to live in her house!

   Save yourself changing back and forth.
