When Yi Feng heard this and was just about to get up and leave, his gaze moved.
The author of Dream of the Red Chamber?
Isn't that myself?
I didn't expect that this Mao Yun'er was still my reader. Perhaps there was still some chance for printing books. After all, his financial situation had already become inadequate now.
Sure enough, when Mao Lin heard Mao Yun'er mention Dream of the Red Chamber in front of Yi Feng, his face also became interesting. He hurriedly coughed twice and scolded lightly: "Yun'er, I said I was receiving guests, you go out first."
Mao Yun'er looked at Yi Feng, puffed out her little cheeks and walked away.
Seeing Mao Yun'er withdraw, Mao Lin squeezed out a smile and looked at Yi Feng and said with a smile: "Master Yi, I won't hide it from you. My daughter is indeed your reader. Reading your Dream of the Red Chamber at the beginning really made me stay up all night!"
However, when he said this, his tone changed again.
"But..."
"As the pearl of my business alliance, she has a big responsibility and spends all day thinking about some emotional books, which is really inappropriate and does not do proper business."
"I also told you clearly, I don't want to help you print your whatever Supreme Treasure, and part of the reason is also because of my daughter. Because as soon as this book comes out, she will be obsessed with it again, so I hope you understand."
Hearing this, Yi Feng nodded slightly without saying much, and then prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait."
Mao Lin shouted again.
Yi Feng stopped and looked back at him.
Mao Lin got up and walked towards Yi Feng, while waving his hand. His men understood and walked out, soon bringing a jade tray with two rows of gold coins on it, probably over a hundred coins.
Yi Feng looked at him puzzled.
"You just saw it, my daughter is looking for you, the original author." Mao Lin handed the jade tray to Yi Feng and continued: "Don't reveal your identity in front of my daughter. Here are one hundred gold coins, take them."
Yi Feng's eyebrows were slightly furrowed as he looked at the jade tray.
After hesitating slightly, he reached out and only took ten gold coins from it, and then said, "The ten coins are for the herbal medicine money last time. As for the rest, it's unnecessary."
After saying that, Yi Feng turned and left.
Their paths were different and they had no common language. There was no need to say anything more.
At the door, he bumped into the waiting Mao Yun'er. Yi Feng nodded politely, as a respect and gratitude to the reader's grandfather, food and clothing parents.
That was all.
After Yi Feng left, Mao Yun'er went to find Mao Lin again.
"Father, you promised to introduce me to the author of Dream of the Red Chamber, but there is still no news until now." Mao Yun'er pouted and acted coquettishly.
"Yun'er, you should learn business from your seniors in the Business Alliance. What's the point of reading these unorthodox books?" Mao Lin scolded lightly.
"Business, business, you just want me to do business. I don't like doing business at all. Besides, reading books won't affect my business!" Mao Yun'er stomped her jade feet and said angrily.
"It's useless for you to say these things. You won't see him again, and he probably won't publish books anymore either." Mao Lin said with a straight face.
"Why?" Mao Yun'er asked anxiously.
"Just a poor villager, if it wasn't for me helping him last time, where would he have the ability to publish books?" Mao Lin said contemptuously: "Besides, this won't bring much profit to the Business Alliance, so we won't cooperate with him anymore."
"But, but the sales of Dream of the Red Chamber were very good, and the Business Alliance also made a lot of money from it." Mao Yun'er said unwillingly: "Why not cooperate with him anymore?"
"Although there were quite a few profits, they were still too insignificant compared to our core interests. And now is the critical period of competing with Baofeng Business Alliance. The Business Alliance does not allow distraction."
Seeing that Mao Yun'er still wanted to say something, he waved his hand majestically and shouted, "Okay, I'm busy with things, take the young lady back to rest."
No matter how Mao Yun'er struggled, the two servants took Mao Yun'er away directly.
After leaving the Business Alliance, the autumn wind came, and Yi Feng's figure looked rather desolate.
Life.
It's not easy anywhere!
It seems that if you want to publish books to make money, you can only find another way!
Just as he walked to the door of the Martial Arts Hall, he saw two familiar figures, one big and one small, sitting on the steps of the Martial Arts Hall, holding their chins and waiting for something.
It was Luo Lanxue and Yin Luoli from Qingshan Gate.
They were practitioners themselves, with extraordinary temperament and natural beauty. Their figures were plump and charming, and passersby kept looking at them.
Seeing Yi Feng come back, the two beauties' pretty faces showed joy and came up to greet him.
"Greetings, Master."
Luo Lanxue bowed, but her eyes didn't quite dare to look at Yi Feng.
Yin Luoli looked at Yi Feng curiously like a baby, because she had heard her Shifu and sister say more than once that the man in front of her was an unparalleled master, and she must be polite and respectful when she saw him.
"It's you two."
Yi Feng nodded, smiled and asked, "Where is Brother Qingshan? How come he didn't come."
"Master... My uncle has been recuperating at home recently, and specifically asked us to come see the master first." Luo Lanxue handed out a exquisitely packaged basket and said softly, "These are fruits picked from the mountains. My uncle asked us to give them to the master."
"You are too kind."
Yi Feng smiled and took the fruit basket. He unceremoniously opened it and took a look. Inside were a few doll-like snow-white fruits that looked very delicious.
Seeing Yi Feng's smile, Luo Lanxue was not so restrained either.
She had to admit that interacting with this senior was very comfortable. Thinking of this, she casually chatted with Yi Feng and asked, "Where did the master come from?"
"I..."
Yi Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I was free and had nothing to do, so I wrote a book to subsidize my family expenses, but I am struggling to find a place to publish it."
"Master wrote a book to subsidize his family expenses, but couldn't find a place to publish it?"
Luo Lanxue was slightly surprised.
But on second thought, she realized that Yi Feng was extremely integrated into the mortal world, and was always unwilling to reveal his identity, which was probably why this dilemma occurred.
Human affairs, food and clothing, joy and sorrow, difficulties and confusions, this was the real experience of life!
For a moment, Luo Lanxue seemed to have gained some new insight again.
Sure enough, every time she interacted with the master, there were always unexpected gains.
"Master, how about we help you?" After regaining her composure, Luo Lanxue carefully asked again.
"Oh?"
Yi Feng's eyes lit up slightly.
"It's like this. Luoli's father is the chairman of the Baofeng Business Alliance. Why don't we go find him together?" Luo Lanxue explained. After all, the master had entered the mortal world, so her using mortal relations to help the master should not violate any rules.
"That would be great."
Yi Feng's gloomy mood was swept away in an instant. It really was a ray of light in the dark!
