Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Money Reward from His Majesty

After Ji Yun An returned to the capital city, he printed hundreds copies of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The main characters of this book were ghosts, foxes, immortals and demons, but it focused on the everyday life of commoners and criticized the corruption and injustice in society and sympathized with the poor. And of course they were all stories he had heard from Lu Lin.

The theme of this book was a clear admiration of pure, faithful love between poor scholars and powerless women, and it became a hit.

Ji Yun An went to Auspicious Cloud Tea House to talk to the manager Zhao He this day, and Zhao He welcomed Ji Yun An very warmly.

"Young Master Ji! I heard that you're getting married. Congratulations."

Ji Yun An smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Manager Zhao."

The cost of getting married in the capital city was very high. Ji Yun An had some savings, but he still felt that it was not enough. Ji Yun An wanted to buy a house in the capital city as their matrimonial home. The house prices in the capital city were not something that a young man could afford.

His grandmother seemed to be worried about him and wanted to give him a large sum of money, but his uncles and aunts were unhappy about that, they want to split that amount of money among themselves.

Ji Yun An wasn't upset by that, he was used to being independent anyways.

"This is my new book, Manager Zhao, please promote it for me," said Ji Yun An with a humble smile.

Zhao He smiled and said, "It's such an honor, thank you for trusting us."

Zhao He's tea house now was one of the high-end tea houses in the capital city thanks to Journey to the West, so he had great expectations for Ji Yun An's new book. Back then, Journey to the West had really saved this struggling tea house, so Zhao He still felt very grateful to Ji Yun An.

"Young master Yun An, I heard your fiancée is amazing, he is the one who has invented Roast Whole Lamb in Highness Cheng's manor, isn't he?"

Ji Yun An just showed a polite smile.

"I've even heard that His Majesty has attended Highness Cheng's banquet in a late night, and he was full of praise about the Roast Whole Lamb."

"I don't know whether it's true or not, Manager Zhao, but Mai is indeed very talented, I won't be surprised if His Majesty appreciates his cooking."

Zhao He smiled, he felt so happy for the young couple, Ji Yun An was radiant with joy when he mentioned Chen Xiao Mai.

"Highness Cheng adores Mai a lot, it's no secret anymore, Young Master Ji, I'm so happy for you." Said Zhao He.

"Thank you so much, Manager Zhao!"

Ji Yun An thought to himself, 'I hope this book will become a hit as well, so I can afford a grand wedding for Mai!'

Zhao He thought to himself, 'Ji Yun An's father seems to be very dissatisfied with Chen Xiao Mai. But the young couple doesn't need to worry about that anymore, no one can create difficulties for them now that Mai has Highness Cheng's support.'

Ji Yun An was very confident about the new book, he learned several new promotion methods from Lu Lin and he planned to use them all.

Zhao He flipped through the first three chapters of the book and said, "Great! I'm sure it will attract a lot of readers and audience!"

Ji Yun An nodded and said, "To be honest, Manager Zhao, I don't think this book is as great as Journey to the West, and I do think it will attract more audience than readers, because the stories are more enchanting but less meaningful."
