Chapter 678: The price is touching

Wenqing Bookstore, the name comes from Gu Jiu.
There is a little miss, a little ridicule, a little bit of evil fun.
Wenqing Bookstore is currently the only bookstore in Beijing that sells genuine Shanhe Academy exercise collections.
It is also the only publisher and distributor.
Any exercise collection sold elsewhere, without authorization, is pirated.
When Wang Xuecheng picked up a book of exercises, he saw the notice on the original and piracy on the title page.
He opened the problem set and looked at the densely packed topics on it, his head was a little confused.
This kind of questioning method is unheard of, and I have never seen it in person before.
"Can I pass the entrance exam?"
Before coming, Wang Xuecheng, who was full of confidence, had a guilty heart at this moment.
There are many topics that make people feel dizzy at first glance.
Wang Xuecheng let out a sigh, but he heard some rants next door.
"I don't know the so-called, ridiculous, sensational, and useless. This kind of book is too embarrassing to be sold, it is simply shameless. The scholars are all broken by these books, and they must be blocked."
"This brother is very temperamental, why did this book provoke you?"
"Every word in this book smells fishy, ​​and no one is allowed to scold you? Why, are you a student of Shanhe Academy?"
"Is Xiongtai a student of the Imperial College?"
"Exactly!"
cut!
All kinds of contemptuous movements were heard around.
"The people from the Imperial College are full, and run here to run wild. Is it true that there is no one in Shanhe Academy?"
"If you don't agree, then go together. I alone can defeat the entire Shanhe Academy."
"Speak up without shame."
The two groups of people quarreled in the bookstore.
Just close the sleeves and fist.
Wang Xuecheng was very nervous and excited.
He secretly looked at the counter.
The shopkeeper behind the counter lifted his eyelids and continued to sleep. The two groups of scholars did not pay attention to them at all.
But the guy at the bookstore was a little nervous and stared at the troublemaker.
Wang Xuecheng looked at Yan Ci again.
Yan Ci was extremely excited, and he whispered: "Last year, the Gyeonggi area had the largest number of students who passed the county exam, the prefectural exam, the college exam, and the Sanha College. It suppressed all other academies. Now, in the Gyeonggi area, every academy regards Sanhe College as an enemy. Kou. Shanhe College not only won the exam, but also robbed other colleges of students, which can be said to have committed public anger.
Did you know that the students who competed with you for admission this time were originally from other colleges. Everyone is studying at Shanhe College for free, there are scholarships, the teacher is good at teaching, and it is easier to be admitted to the scholarship before signing up for the Shanhe College. "
After speaking, he slapped Wang Xuecheng on the shoulders, "Brother Wang has to work hard! Three or five more exams, he will definitely pass. Anyway, Shanhe College organizes entrance exams at the end of every month, so he will live in Xinmin County for half a year. ."
Wang Xuecheng's face was green.
He was shy in his pocket and was away from home. His father Wang Carpenter only gave him fifty taels of silver.
Five taels of silver lasted for half a year, or studying, it was impossible.
A book of exercises, the cheapest paperback edition, costs 800 cents.
The hardcover version costs two taels of silver.
If you want to be admitted to Shanhe Academy, one exercise book is definitely not enough.
You also need pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and you need to eat and stay.
When you go out, everything costs money.
Fifty taels of silver, I'm afraid it will be spent in less than two months.
Wang Xuecheng felt the unprecedented pressure, and he had to quickly find a job that could support himself. At least it can solve their own board and lodging problems.
All in order to be admitted to Shanhe Academy.
As long as you can pass the exam, all problems will be solved.
"They are so noisy, why don't the people at the bookstore care about it?" Wang Xuecheng asked curiously.
Yan Ci chuckled, "What the hell! This kind of thing has always happened in three or five days since last year. Especially during the Spring Festival holiday, everyone has nothing to do, and the two groups of people rush to the bookstore to quarrel almost every day.
The shopkeeper has long been offended, too lazy to control them. Anyway, if you break the books, you have to pay for them at the price, or you can buy them back at your own expense. And they quarreled in the bookstore, they can also attract popularity for the bookstore. "
After speaking, Yan Ci took Wang Xuecheng to the other side.
He mysteriously told Wang Xuecheng, "Let me tell you, this bookstore not only sells well exercise collections, but also the latest textbooks. Look at this book, "Seven Langs Ten Battles with Flower Thieves" is the hottest word at present. This book has been published to the twelfth chapter. It is said that there are a total of 20 times, and I buy every new book.
It was written last time that Qi Lang, with the help of San Niangzi, found the thief’s den, but it was gone. My heart was heartburned. Hey, the notice is out, hurry up. Thirteen books will be published at the end of this month. God, what can I do? The college entrance exam will be the day after the new book is published. At that time, I will buy it or not. What if you missed the entrance exam? "
Yan Ci beat his chest and his feet, very upset.
Wang Xuecheng looked dumbfounded.
He looked around, and there were quite a few people who looked like stern words.
Either he shook his head and sighed, or he looked ashamed, or fell to the ground, crying without tears.
"My Sanniangzi, my Qilang, this is killing me."
"Why did the bookstore choose to publish the book the day before the entrance exam? It's really harmful!"
A young man walked in with a fan, looked at the different kinds of scholars, and sneered: "This young man still thinks that the bookstore is too slow to publish books, and you even think that he publishes books too early. It's just a full man who doesn't know how hungry he is. "
"My son knows how hard I have to prepare for the entrance exam. On the one hand is the entrance exam, and on the other is the third lady who is eager to take the entrance exam. The partial student is still the day before the exam. How can this be good? I am afraid that it will affect the exam. Affect the exam. The son said, do you want to see it or not?"
The son-in-law laughed, "You can watch it if you want, and take care of him."
Then, the son-in-law told the companion, "Remember the date when the book was published. Don't forget it. Then buy ten hardcover editions, three more paperback editions, and two softback editions."
"Why did you buy so much?"
"Give it away! Are you stupid?"
Several scholars, when they heard that the brother-in-law wanted to buy ten hardcover books in one go, all of them were red. Jealousy envy hate ah!
The hardcover book is packed in an exquisite wooden box with colorful bookmarks. More importantly, there are San Niangzi and Qilang's colorful illustrations in the book.
It is said that in the second hardcover book, the illustration of the third lady in a tulle skirt is only visible.
I heard that thousands of hardcover editions were printed for the first time, and they were sold out in less than a day. Later, another 5,000 sets were printed and they were still sold out.
The color illustrations in the hardcover edition are very touching, and the price is also touching. A full amount of silver is required.
At present, bookstores also sell sets of books. The twelve stories in the previous chapters are assembled into a book for publication. The hardcover edition of the set costs eight taels of silver.
There is also a supreme hardcover version. It is said that there are 20 more color illustrations, which is a full set of fifteen.
For scholars with head hanging beams and thorny stocks, the hardcover version is just a look, and you can't afford it.
Yan Ci's eyes were red with jealousy, and he murmured to Wang Xuecheng, "My dream is to buy a second hardcover edition with San Niangzi in it. But I want three taels of silver, so shy in my pocket!"
Yan Ci choked up and couldn't buy a second hardcover edition, which was his biggest regret.
He saw the illustration of the third lady in the second book in the juren room next door, and he will never forget it with just one glance.
It is Sanniangzi for eating, Sanniangzi for drinking, and Sanniangzi for dreaming.
He solemnly said: "As long as I am admitted to the academy this time, I will sell iron, and I will buy a copy to go back."
Hearing Yan Ci's words, the son laughed and joked: "Xiongtai knows how much the second hardcover edition has risen? Twenty taels of silver, there is no market, and money can't be bought. Xiongtai is still earlier Rest your mind. When the bookstore will release the collector's edition, Xiongtai will have money at that time, but you can buy a set and collect it."
Yanci was hit hard, "You actually need twenty taels of silver? How can it be so expensive?"
"Because everyone wants to see San Niangzi!" The son-in-law blinked and smiled ambiguously, tacitly.
The looming San Niangzi is a treasure in the hearts of every San Niangzi fan, how can it be easily shot.
Even if she starved to death, she couldn't sell San Niangzi.
This is faith.
It is Midi's love for Sanniangzi.
Is there anyone who loves actor Qirou?
Of course there is!
The big girls and little wives in the capital, the ladies and the ladies in the deep boudoirs, their favorite is the heroic and handsome Qilang.
For a thousand girls, there are a thousand Qilang.
Qilang seems to be the most popular idol this year, not one of them.
Yan Ci thumped his chest and cried.
Wang Xuecheng was secretly speechless, what kind of feelings this is!
She cried like this for a woman in the book.
Brother Gongzi squatted down and said to Yan Ci: "Why is this Xiongtai. You can't afford a hardcover version, but you can buy a paperback version. The paperback version also has illustrations. Although it is black and white, it is better than nothing. And the paperback version usually has a color picture attached to the back. It's a comfort."
Stern speech and tears.
The paperback version with color pictures is more than 500 yuan more expensive than the paperback version without color pictures.
The paperback version is the cheapest. However, there are no black and white illustrations or color pictures, only stories.
If he had given up five hundred more money this time, why would he cry here?
The rich do not understand the cry of the poor.
Yan Ci wiped his tears, and arched his hands to the son, "Thank you, Xiongtai. I will make up for my regrets when I enter the college."
Brother Gongzi laughed, "I wish Xiongtai all his wishes come true."
A steward came to the son's brother, "My son, the lady has arrived."
Brother son put away his folding fan, "Let's go there too."
This son, Huang Qubing, the son of Princess Fuya.
