Chapter 13: Earn royalties from writing novels and buy a courtyard house for women
Scared?
Cheng Xuemin was shocked when he heard what Feng Jiayou said!
This courtyard at the root of the imperial city was bought by the old man Qian in the front yard who wrote novels and earned royalties?
Is it really so profitable to write novels in this era?
In an instant, Feng Jiayou’s words instantly opened Cheng Xuemin’s new door to this era.
Cheng Xuemin's original plan was to live in the rural areas of northern Shaanxi for a few years, and then start a speculative pattern after the country was officially liberalized. He would get rich first and then trample the rich to achieve financial freedom.
Therefore, Cheng Xuemin felt that in this era, with his foresight, speculation was the most profitable way to make money!
I really never thought about becoming a cultural person who writes novels.
But now that Feng Jiayou was reminded like this, there really shouldn't be too many things that flashed through his mind.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky", "Covering the Sky", "Fighting to Break the Sky", "Global Martial Arts", "Douluo Continent"...
Of course, I cannot write these things, and I dare not write them. In the age situation that has not yet been fully relaxed, writing this can only mean that Cheng Xuemin is seeking death and is anxious to be reincarnated again, especially "Swallowing Starry Sky", so he can only wait. When martial arts becomes popular in a few years, you can consider engaging in martial arts.
As for now, scar literature, right? ?
Cheng Xuemin glanced at Feng Jiayou's work, which was rejected because of criticisms about literature. So this Cheng Xuemin is also good!
"Wrangler", "Director Qiao's appointment", "Wreaths under the Mountain", "Parental Love", "Young People of Our Generation", "Alive", "Conspiracy", "Latent", "Ordinary World", "Xu Mao and His Daughters"...
These can be copied and paid tribute to, just like the old man Qian in the front yard, he gave the Feng family a home in a large courtyard!
After having a direction in his mind, Cheng Xuemin became more and more excited. He wanted to start writing tonight, pick a classic to pay homage to, and test the water!
"So much money?! The more than 500 yuan in your bankbook is all the royalties you earned from writing novels?"
After a thought flashed across his mind, Cheng Xuemin asked in a low voice.
Feng Jiayou's bankbook was her private money. Her parents didn't know it at all, and they didn't dare to let her parents know.
Just now I heard that her mother came back, and she hurriedly stuffed her bankbook and money under her second sister-in-law's pillow. She pretended that I hadn't done anything bad and was calm, and came out to say hello to her mother.
"...Well, that's right!"
When asked about this suddenly, Feng Jiayou's face turned red instantly, and she said humbly without any confidence in her heart!
What can she tell Cheng Xuemin about the money she makes from writing novels? !
Where has she published a manuscript before? Where did the royalties come from?
This manuscript has been revised and rewritten for more than three months, but it was still rejected by her mother's magazine, and she still needs to continue revising it!
If you hadn’t seen the classmates around you at school, almost all of them had published articles and earned royalties. Especially her roommate Huang Beijia had published articles in their local literary newspapers in the past few years. , Lao made a lot of private money, Feng Jiayou, she really never thought about writing novels.
Furthermore, she originally took the exam from the Chinese Department of Yanda, and she didn’t have many published articles. How dare she claim to be from the Chinese Department of Yanda?
Finally, from the very beginning, the Feng family tricked Cheng Xuemin, who only wanted to stay in northern Shaanxi and didn't even want to take the college entrance examination, to come to Yanjing to live with her, and she was there to urge him to prepare for next year's college entrance examination. Have enough money to prepare for the worst and elope from home.
Therefore, as soon as Feng Jiayou came to Yanda to report, she started working on her first novel. In August this year, Lu Xinwu, a former college student in Shanghai, wrote an article called "Scar", which almost caused a stir in the entire country. , which also aroused her creative enthusiasm.
But I didn't expect that I would fall right into it! One manuscript was rejected four times by her mother's magazine.
Including today’s time, it’s already the fifth time!
Had she known it, she should not have given the manuscript she had written to her mother, who was the editor-in-chief of "October" magazine.
After her mother read the manuscript, she directly submitted it to their "October" and started a crazy rejection and revision mode. She really didn't show any backdoor human touch!
Feng Jiayou even suspected that her mother was aware of her intention to earn manuscript fees and deliberately demanded harshly not to submit manuscripts?
Is the manuscript she wrote really that bad?
If I had known better, I would have not alarmed her mother and submitted it to another magazine. The manuscript might have been published long ago!
"It's amazing! Then you have to revise this manuscript carefully and publish it as soon as possible to earn royalties!" Cheng Xuemin really thinks women are amazing. He made more than 500 yuan just writing novels. If he had known that writing novels in this era was so profitable, he should have started doing it as soon as he came over, and wasted most of half a year.
But it’s not too late to start it now. Write novels to earn manuscript fees and exchange them for a university courtyard. Oli will give it to you!
"I know, I know, isn't this already being changed? Did mom wash the dishes for you? Also take out the roast duck in the house, don't let Liqin Liwen and those two little guys steal it again!"
What to change! ? It’s a big change!
Feng Jiayou was very irritable, but he couldn't just slap himself in the face with the big words he just said, so he could only push Cheng Xuemin aside impatiently, don't bother her!
"Okay, you should make serious changes. I'll help mom wash the vegetables and cook!" Cheng Xuemin is very optimistic about women. After all, he has become a great writer with a small treasury of more than 500 yuan through writing novels!
Cheng Xuemin himself had to hurry up and catch up with Feng Jiayou in the shortest possible time. After he finishes writing the novel and publishes it, he will spend the royalties earned on the manuscript in front of the woman and give her a big surprise!
"Just lose! Let's see if you lose that little money, what will you do next!?"
Just when Cheng Xuemin was whispering to the Feng family, he was about to ask Cheng Xuemin to take out the roast duck he brought back at noon.
The mother of the young Feng family came out and complained to them. The two young children of the Feng family, Cheng Xuemin, were instantly confused. What stimulated her? !
But when the little guy Feng Liqin came out of her grandma's house and was sneaking into her room, the young Feng family realized that someone had snitched!
"Feng Liqin, come here!" Feng Jiayou greeted her niece fiercely!
"Auntie!" Feng Liqin's walking body suddenly stiffened, she looked towards Feng Jiayou, squeezed out a smile and shouted!
"Come here, what are you holding in your hand!?"
The young Feng family's sharp eyes saw something hidden in her niece's sleeve. After asking, she immediately rushed forward like a crazy little calf, took out the money from her sleeve, and asked: " Feng Liqin, are you stealing my money?”
"I didn't steal, I didn't steal, I showed the money to grandma! My new uncle gave a lot of money to my aunt, I showed it to grandma!"
Being caught red-handed, my little niece quickly shouted in a panic.
"Have you shown it to grandma?!" Feng Jiayou's face collapsed when she heard this. Why is it so difficult for her to hide two pieces of private money?
She was hiding so well just now, why did this little guy see her? !
"Grandma saw it!" the little guy nodded and said.
"Then what did grandma say!?" Feng Jiayou asked again.
"Grandma asked me to put the money back and not to tell anyone!"
The little guy said to Feng Jiayou again.
"What else did you say to grandma?" The Feng family didn't let go and continued to 'press'.
"I also told grandma that our new uncle is so kind to us. He treated us to a big roast duck today! He also said that his new uncle will take us to eat a big roast duck tomorrow!"
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and you still steal my money, there will be no big roast duck tomorrow!"
"Wow……"
The young niece of the Feng family was so fierce that she scared her little niece to tears. She was mainly crying because tomorrow's big roast duck was gone!
