Chapter 618 Talented(2/3)
"What does he want from me? When is the party scheduled?"
"Boss Lu said that we just wanted to sit and chat. He didn't say anything specific and the time was not fixed. He said that he would just invite you alone and you just look at the arrangements." Li Qi thought for a moment and agreed: "Tell Boss Lu,
I'll go find him at ten o'clock tonight."
..
At half past seven, Boss Lu closed the bookstore, put up his desk, picked up the pen, and continued to write the sequel to "Xiushuang Collection". He wrote for two hours and barely finished one page. After writing, he read it again. Boss Lu
I tore up the manuscript.
The price of a volume of "Xiu Shuang Ji" is eight Huan Guo banknotes, and there are thirty-six stories in one volume. If it were written at this level, Boss Lu would feel that he could not afford the money spent on the book.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Boss Lu had made tea, boiled the wine, and prepared refreshments and snacks. The closing sign was still hanging, but he opened the bookstore door. Not long after waiting, Li Qi entered the bookstore, and Lu
The boss stood up to greet him.
"Seventh Master, here we come!"
Li Banfeng nodded and smiled: "Boss Lu personally came to the door and posted the message. How could Li not come?" "Master Qi, please sit down. Do you want to drink wine or tea?"
"The guest does as the host does."
"Then let's have some wine and tea." Boss Lu poured tea with one hand and poured wine with the other. The two of them sat in the lobby of the bookstore, guarding more than a dozen shelves of books, and chatted while eating. They talked about new works by famous artists. Boss Lu deliberately mentioned "Jade"
Fragrance Notes".
"Master Qi, do you think "Jade Fragrance" is better than "Xiushuang Collection"?
Li Banfeng shook his head slightly: "The Yuxiang Ji is a long novel, and the Xiu Shuang Collection is a collection of essays, not a series of articles. How can we compare them together." "Let's not talk about the number of ways, only the narrative. Which book has a better story?
.”
Li Banfeng drank a cup of tea first and then a cup of wine, and then he reviewed it carefully: "If we look at it chronologically, when Xiu Shuang compiled the book, there were no similar works. This was the work that established the sect, and indeed no one could do it at that time.
Comparable to it.”
Boss Lu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter the year, or whether it was written sooner or later, let's put them together and compare them."
"If we have to compare them together, later generations have learned from the techniques and techniques of their predecessors, improved and innovated them, and the things they wrote are naturally more beautiful than their predecessors." Boss Lu drank a glass of wine and nodded repeatedly.
Although this sounds sad, Boss Lu admits that "Jade Fragrance" is better than "Xiushuang Ji", and Li Banfeng's explanation is acceptable to Boss Lu. Zhang Xiuling has the advantage of the latecomers, not because of her
His strength exceeds his own.
Boss Lu valued Li Banfeng’s comments, but Li Banfeng was still waiting for Boss Lu to get to the point.
He certainly didn't invite me here today to discuss literature. Could it be that he wanted to tell the truth about Little Fatty? Boss Lu took out a stack of paper and said, "Master Qi, please take a look."
Li Banfeng took the paper and guessed that the topic was coming.
But when he opened it, he saw that it was the manuscript of the sequel to "Xiushuang Collection". Li Banfeng asked: "Who wrote this?"
Boss Lu smiled and said: "It was written by a friend who was quite famous in the literary world at that time. I have been thinking about it these days and want to add a sequel to "Xiushuang Collection"." Are you still discussing literature?
Could it be that this friend he mentioned is the topic of tonight?
Li Banfeng carefully read through the sequel and gave a comment: "The dog's tail continues the mink." Boss Lu trembled and almost dropped his wine glass: "Seventh Master, why do you say this?"
"Please tell this friend, please, tell him to stop writing books. "Xiushuang Collection" is a masterpiece, and there is no room for such nondescript sequels. Let's take a look at the original story of "Xiushuang Collection". The context is bizarre and full of twists and turns.
Everywhere is fascinating, how can there be so many twists and turns?
Look at how the first story of this sequel is written. The male and female protagonists can't even speak clearly. A simple thing can cause so many misunderstandings. This kind of vulgar plot has to be copied from "Xiushuang Ji".
Does this person think too highly of himself?"
Boss Lu pursed his lips and defended: "Don't several famous writers nowadays, such as Zhang Xiuling and Shen Rongqing, all write in this way? There is also such a story in "Jade Fragrance Notes",
This way of writing can portray the emotional twists and turns and gains more clearly."
Li Banfeng smiled: "So, this friend of yours cannot write "Xiushuang Collection". Since the famous writer who wrote "Xiushuang Collection" can establish a sect, you ask him if he cares about other people's writing methods?
Can he imitate other people's writing style? Can he put long-form formulas into short stories?
With this little ability, your friend still wants to continue writing "Xiushuang Collection" and also wants to touch the famous porcelain generation. Saying that he does not overestimate his abilities, is it wronging him?"
Click!
The wine bottle in Boss Lu's hand was broken.
"What's going on?" Li Banfeng was stunned for a moment.
Boss Lu threw the broken wine bottle aside and brought a new one. After everything was cleaned up, he began to rub his face vigorously.
His mouth was twisted because of the anger, and he rubbed it for a long time before he straightened it out.
"What Qiye said is that this person is overestimating his own abilities!" Boss Lu brought out paper and pen, "Can you please Qiye to point out carefully what is wrong with my writing? I will truthfully convey it to my friend."
friend."
Boss Lu has been discussing literature, and Li Banfeng accompanied him in the discussion. He gave his opinions seriously, and Boss Lu took notes carefully.
In a blink of an eye, it was twelve o'clock. Mr. Kong Fang came to the door of the bookstore with a bamboo hat, opened the door and walked in.
Ding~
Li Banfeng heard the door knock and looked back. His sight was blocked by the bookshelf.
Boss Lu shook his head and said, "Don't pay attention. Someone probably didn't see the closing sign. I'll ask a waiter to send him away." Yes.
Mr. Kong Fang entered the bookstore. He didn't see Li Banfeng, nor did he see the table full of wine and tea. He only saw Boss Lu stepping on the ladder and sorting the bookshelf alone.
Boss Lu looked at Mr. Kong Fang and said, "We are already closed. We need to buy books. Please be early tomorrow."
Mr. Kong Fang laughed and said: "Lao Zhou, I have already come to the door in person. Now you are saying we are closing. Is this appropriate?"
"If we weren't closing now, we would have been closing long ago." Boss Lu tidied the bookshelf seriously.
Li Banfeng felt that someone had entered the bookstore just now, but in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared again.
Boss Lu was sitting across from him, still checking his notes: "Master Qi, what did you just say about how to revise Chapter 6 of Volume 2?"
Li Banfeng was about to turn his thoughts back to "Xiushuang Collection" when he heard some faint sounds from upstairs.
Squeak, squeak, squeak~
Li Banfeng raised his head slightly, and Boss Lu said: "In the past two days, there have been some moths in the bookstore, and they eat the wood at night. Master Qi, let's talk about the sixth chapter." Li Banfeng felt that this was not the sound of moths.
The window in the warehouse on the second floor opened. Du Wenming followed the window and slid into the outer room. He quickly opened the door of the back room and glanced around the room. He didn't see Yu Yaoming, but saw Boss Lu pulling the door open.
He sat on the bed and said, "Looking for me?"
Mr. Kong Fang was downstairs, watching Boss Lu clearing the bookshelves. He was not in a hurry to do it. His purpose was to delay Du Wenming's time.
"Lao Zhou, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and you're entertaining me like this?"
Boss Lu turned around and looked at Mr. Kong Fang: "Do we know each other?"
"How can you say you don't know each other? We were..."
"We are really closed. If we have anything to do, we can talk tomorrow."
Boss Lu was about to see off his guests when suddenly there was the sound of fighting upstairs.
Du Wenming took action upstairs.
Mr. Kong Fang was a little surprised. According to Du Wenming, Yu Yaoming's cultivation level was not high and there was no need for Du Wenming to make such a big fuss.
Was there an accident upstairs?
Mr. Kong Fang pointed to the upstairs: "Are the thieves dispatched? Can I help you take a look?"
Boss Lu walked down the ladder, shook his head and said, "The second floor is the store's warehouse. No idlers are allowed in."
"I'm not an idler, I'm your friend." Mr. Kong Fang moved on his toes, as if he was about to go upstairs.
Boss Lu appeared at the door of the warehouse on the second floor, holding an old book in his hand: "I really can't remember having a friend like you."
Mr. Kong Fang waved his hand, threw out two copper coins, and flew towards Boss Lu.
This copper coin cannot be parried. Even if Boss Lu uses words to summon a wall three feet behind, the copper coin will easily penetrate it.
But if Boss Lu chooses to dodge, it will be equivalent to giving up the stairs.
Boss Lu didn't hide and shook off the old book in his hand.
The dust on the old book scattered in the air and gathered into the character "door".
Two copper coins flew into the "door" and disappeared.
Mr. Kong Fang flew left and right to the second floor, intending to use steel money to collapse the wall on the second floor.
The copper coins flew extremely fast, and he expected that Boss Lu could only block one copper coin.
Boss Lu stood there and wrote the word "accept" in the air with his finger, and both copper coins fell into his hand.
Mr. Kong Fang nodded: "We haven't fought each other for so many years, but your appearance is not worse than before. It's a pity that I am different from back then."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Kong Fang pulled off three tassels from his hat, holding one between each finger from his index finger to his little finger.
The tassels elongated like three golden snakes and rushed towards Boss Lu's front door. The copper coins on the tassels flickered, making a harsh and confusing collision sound, which interfered with Boss Lu's judgment.
If he tried to write on the spur of the moment, it would definitely be too late. Boss Lu opened the book, and the words on the book flew out one after another, fighting with Sanjo Suiko.
