隨著社會經濟的繁榮，小說地位的提高，消費方式的改變和刻書環境的發達，明代書坊評選刊刻小說的風氣興盛。市售小說成了創作者、評論者和出版者的共同商品，讀者的喜好與否攸關銷售利潤，增加創作考量的複雜性，也構成話本小說趨於世情化的結果。本文即以《型世言》為例，以陸人龍的演義和陸雲龍的評定為範疇，析解陸氏兄弟在面對和處理守節與改嫁問題時，於客觀地滿足社會輿論期盼和理解寡婦生活困苦之餘，又如何透過果報情節的安排，表達對守節的支持，及為少年失怙的經歷，安置同情改嫁的思維，最後回歸到作者意欲以小說型世之目的。
As the economic prosperity in the society, the rising of novels' status, the change in the pattern of consumption, and the flourish of inscription environment, the trend that the publishers evaluated published novel was overwhelming in the Ming Dynasty. Commercial novels became the products that were valued by the authors, reviewers, and publishers. Customers' preference determined the sales profit, increased the complexity considered in creation, and resulted in Huaben novels' tendency to secular emotion. In the present study, we took ”Xing Shi Yan” as an example. In reviewing Lu Ren Long's creation and adaptation as well as Lu Yun Long's evaluation, we suggested that when the Lu brothers faced and handled the problems of virtue and remarriage, they generally satisfied the expectation of public opinion and understood the widows' tough life. They also expressed their support for virtue by arranging the plots of karma. In consideration of losing father in the childhood, they also expressed their sympathy to remarriage. In the end, the authors' attempt to set a model for the ordinary people was demonstrated.
