"If only I had a good fruit tree, I would be able to sell all the branches and earn a lot of money," Li Laoshi lamented.
Suddenly, many people couldn't help but be stunned. They looked at each other and tacitly prepared to leave quietly.
"Don't waste your time. It's too late!" The old man waved his hand.
"Why?" Everyone was surprised.
"When the exhibition ended yesterday, people had already gone to Chang 'an. Many of the good fruit trees have already been sold out. If you're not afraid of trouble, you can go to the other branches of the Tang dynasty. You might have a chance to make a fortune there," the old man sneered. Even if they went to the other branches, they would have to compete with others. There were more than ten thousand people in Chang 'an who had read the Mo magazine.
"Ah! I missed a good opportunity! "Li Laoshi immediately regretted it.
He had been proud of himself for boycotting the Mo family and canceling his subscription to the magazine, but he had lost a chance to make a fortune.
Soon, news came from Sanyuan County that a fifty-year-old persimmon tree king in Sanyuan County was selling for a hundred copper coins, and it was a limited sale.
Not only that, but the entire county was surprised. In just one day, the price of an ordinary persimmon tree had skyrocketed. Some fruit farmers' prices had skyrocketed overnight.
Everyone sighed and obediently read the Mo magazine.
"Legalism column!"
"The case of the Han family's daughter!"
Many people suddenly saw that the Mo family had created a column for the Hu family's daughter called the Legalism column.
The case of the Hu family's daughter was well-known. Ordinary people would only consider it from the perspective of the world. The Hu and Han families' actions were completely devoid of conscience. No one had ever considered it from the perspective of the law.
Based on the case of the Hu Clan's daughter, this article provided a detailed explanation of the Great Tang's marriage laws, as well as a detailed introduction on how to identify marriage transactions, as well as how to use the marriage laws to protect oneself.
"Legalism's Han Zheng!"
The old man was surprised when he saw the name of the author. Ordinary people were unfamiliar with this name, but it was definitely for the older generation. Han Zheng of Legalism's name was well-known.
"Do you know this person?" someone asked in surprise.
The old man sighed and said: "I've long heard of your name. This person was famous in the previous dynasty for being upright and outspoken. He is fully deserving of the title of Legalism Virtuous Paragon."
"The Tang dynasty is getting more and more lively. Even the school of Legalism is getting involved." Everyone felt like they were watching a show.
"This legal column is not bad. Just because of this legal column, I will definitely subscribe to Mo Magazine in the future."
In this era, ordinary people did not understand the law, but it did not mean that they did not need the law. In any era, the legal column could always attract a large number of loyal viewers, and the legalism column catered to this demand, filling the gap of the Tang dynasty.
"This is probably Mo Jiazi's surprise!" The old man said.
Being able to invite a Virtuous Paragon from Legalism was more than enough to contend against the Confucian journals.
"No, there are more surprises at the end! The last one was written by Mo Jiazi. "Li Laoshi's eyes lit up as he quickly flipped to the last page.
"Impossible!" Everyone was in disbelief. If it was Mo Jiazi's article, the Mo Magazine would have directly placed it on the front page. Why would it be at the end?
However, when they turned to the last page, they saw that the author's name was indeed Meton.
"Liang Zhu?" Everyone was confused when they saw these two words.
"During the Western Jin Dynasty, a young scholar, Liang Shanbo, left home to pursue his studies. On the way, he met a cross-dressing scholar, Zhu Yingtai. The two hit it off at first sight and shared similar interests. They became sworn brothers on a grass bridge and later studied together at Hongluo Mountain Academy. … "
"Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai!"
"A cross-dressing woman!"
Everyone couldn't help but smile when they read this. Zhu Yingtai's cross-dressing encounter with Liang Shanbo was similar to Mo Jiazi's encounter with a cross-dressing woman on the night of the Lantern Festival.
"I didn't expect Mo Jiazi to be such an infatuated man. He really put a lot of thought into it!" The old man couldn't help but sigh. With his experience, he naturally knew Mo Jiazi's intentions. A secret meeting under the moon was indeed romantic in the eyes of men, but it was not the case for women. People were more harsh on women. Even if Mo Jiazi had put in so much effort, he would still be criticized by the public. However, once this book was published, the public opinion would immediately change.
Everyone nodded and said, "No one expected Mo Jiazi to write an article to correct the name of his beloved."
"This is true!" Someone exclaimed.
"I'm from Qilu. I've heard the story of Liang Zhu when I was young."
"No, Liang Zhu is from Runan. Hongluo Mountain Academy is in Runan."
"I'm a knowledgeable person. Liang Shanbo is a knowledgeable person. This is known by everyone in the southeast. "
Although the story of Liang Zhu was circulated in a small circle, it was not unverifiable. There were people in Chang 'an who came from all over the south, and the story of Liang Zhu was widely circulated in Qilu, Henan, and even the southeast. Naturally, there were people who were familiar with it.
However, the story of Liang Zhu that they knew was only some dry words. The Liang Zhu that Mo Magazine reported was a combination of the later generations of Yue Opera and legends from all over the world. It could be said that it was a masterpiece of art. Everyone was immediately attracted by it.
"Oath of Cao Qiao."
"Liang Shanbo is so stupid. He can't even tell a woman dressed as a man."
"Zhu Yingtai's maid is so stupid. She almost spilled the beans."
Everyone chimed in one after another, each of them watching with great interest.
"I have a ninth sister in my family …"
When Zhu Yingtai complained that his parents were stubborn and didn't allow women to study, many old scholars couldn't help but frown. However, more people agreed.
"Men and women are born by their parents. It's normal for women to study."
When they saw that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were like-minded and became sworn brothers because of the matter of women studying, everyone was immediately attracted and couldn't pull themselves away.
"This is probably Mo Jiazi's surprise!" Everyone suddenly realized and it was indeed a big surprise.
This issue of Mo Magazine had less than half of the advertisements. Teacher Li took the opportunity to print the next chapter of Liang Zhu's Three Years in the Same Room.
"A man and a woman studied together for three years and lived in the same room. That's a total loss of humanity." Many old scholars looked at the Mo Magazine and said angrily. However, while they were scolding, they didn't let go of the Mo Magazine at all. Instead, they criticized it and read it with great interest.
"Those who don't know are innocent. Liang Shanbo is a gentleman. He didn't know that Zhu Yingtai was a woman."
"Liang Shanbo is indeed a bookworm. After living in the same room for three years, he didn't realize that Zhu Yingtai was a woman."
"Zhu Yingtai is so smart. He put a basin of water in front of the two of them. Liang Shanbo didn't dare to make a comeback for three years. He is so unlucky."
