Chapter 53: A good deal
The first prostitute rouge in Quanzhou, at this time, held a volume of "Di Renjie" and read it carefully.
In the main room of Ziyunzhai, a lamp is like a bean, the beauty has black hair hanging down her shoulders, her wrists are like snow, she lowers her head to read a book, she always raises her eyebrows and smiles, frowns and worries from time to time, and the two little girls who are waiting next to her are watching while being a female celebrity, and can't help but talk in a low voice.
"Miss Rouge is so beautiful."
"Yes, especially recently, Miss Rouge's smile is so good-looking, in the past, Sun Gongzi praised her for smiling like a spring flower, but we know, Miss's smile is practiced day by day in front of the mirror, I think she is really smiling today."
In these words, there is inevitably a sense of regret.
Although they are peerless beauties, it is a pity that they have fallen into the dust, over the years, they are used to seeing rouge's smiles, but who knows if the famous prostitutes in Quanzhou are crying in their hearts.
Rouge ignored the laughter of the two little girls, held the book, and saw a chapter called ' Red face tears', there is also a famous prostitute in the story, the famous prostitute and a Xiucai got married, poured into each other, but because of the identity, refused to meet Bai Shou, Xiucai entered Beijing to take the exam, once the title of the gold list made the champion, but let the traitor in the picture, recruited as a son-in-law, the famous prostitute missed his sweetheart, and also rushed to the capital, sang in the restaurant in the capital, reunited with Xiucai again, when drunk, inadvertently poured out his heart, Xiucai learned that the beauty of the heart, such as Daigo empowerment, actually wanted to resign from the marriage, and the famous prostitute lived in both rooms, the famous prostitute was worried about his future, insisted on refusing, and jumped into the lake, fragrant and died。
Rouge read this, with tears in her eyes, as for how the wise and almost demonic protagonist in it solved a series of murder cases, and analyzed the twists and turns of the charming grievances and hatreds behind the case, for her, it was not as touching as the background story.
"If you look at the city, and then you will look at the country, you would rather not know the city and the country, and it is difficult for a beautiful woman to get a ......" Rouge sighed, "Mr. Tianzhi said it really well, but which famous prostitute can really meet such a lover?" If one day, I can also get a confidant, that is, I will die for him, and I am afraid that I will also be happy. ”
Mr. Tianzhi's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and his reputation is Quanzhou City.
Even Wang Yi and Gao Ming, who are far away in Yizhou, have heard of it more or less.
However, what Yang Yunqiu lacks most now is money, not fame, while working hard to write books at home to earn money, he quickly wrote all the contents, a total of six volumes, and sold very quickly.
In this way, he was still too insufficient, and gave the shopkeeper of the bookstore a lot of ideas, such as finding more people to go to the teahouse to promote it, such as printing high-quality commemorative editions, using kraft paper as the cover, inlaying gold leaf at the four corners, and then Yang Yunqiu, Mr. Tianzhi himself, made the illustrations himself.
Only a hundred sets of such high-quality books were printed, and each set was priced at five hundred taels of silver.
The shopkeeper listened, almost didn't scare to death, refused to live or die, Yang Yunqiu simply said bluntly, use his own money to print, if it is sold, the money is Yang Yunqiu's own, he agreed.
The shopkeeper was not bad-hearted, and couldn't help but persuade several times: "Son, although Quanzhou is rich and rich, no one will go to buy expensive books, besides, five hundred taels of silver is too much." ”
He was really worried, and sure enough, he was a good person.
Of course, if the shopkeeper is a wicked person, Yang Yunqiu will not cooperate with him, you know, if you cooperate with a wicked person, it will indirectly help the guilty person, and he will also be affected a little, Yang Yunqiu now regards cultivation as the world's first-class major event, and naturally has any behavior that is not conducive to cultivation.
Don't care what the shopkeeper says, Yang Yunqiu insists on going his own way, and he can't do anything.
Unexpectedly, this book was printed according to Yang Yunqiu's ideas, and it actually sold very well, although it was slower, but someone bought it every day, and some people bought several sets of them at a great price.
It's just a hundred sets, not long after I bought it, it was actually sold clean, and after it was sold, there were still many people who came to buy it, knowing that there was no more, and I couldn't help but be disappointed.
Of course, it can be sold, Yang Yunqiu has done an investigation, and he knows in his heart that these sons and daughters in Quanzhou are willing to spend a lot of money for a famous prostitute, and last year, there were two sons who competed for the favor of a certain Oiran, and they actually paid for more than 1,000 taels of jewelry to give away.
For ordinary people, the money that can't be earned back in ten or eight years is just a month's worth of money in their eyes.
The shopkeeper's eyes almost didn't fall, and he regarded Yang Yunqiu, a twelve-year-old little hairy child, as a fairy, and even wanted to continue printing, of course, Yang Yunqiu vetoed it.
The commemorative edition is to be small in number in order to show preciousness, if it becomes a bad street, the version that is available everywhere, then where can it be sold at a high price? Fortunately, the shopkeeper is only because he has not seen enough, so he can't think of this way to make money in later generations, and he is not stupid.
The silver money was like flowing water, and the shopkeeper was dazzled, but Yang Yunqiu backhanded and threw a lot of the earned silver out to buy all kinds of jewelry and jade.
He doesn't like trouble, he simply doesn't bother with anything, besides, the shopkeeper is more familiar than him, what he likes, let him buy it, it's easier to buy cheap things.
I still buy most of the rough stones.
All kinds of rubies and sapphires in the Yin Dynasty are very cheap, because the means of processing are not high, the gems are dusty, and there is no particularly bright color, people are not used to wearing gemstone jewelry, and jade is much more expensive.
Yang Yunqiu bought a little today, bought some tomorrow, and it didn't take long for him to put together two big boxes and put them in the bedroom, which scared Erya so much that he didn't even dare to open the curtains every day, for fear of losing his young master's things.
As for the shopkeeper, now he is obedient to Yang Yunqiu, because he always likes to buy stones, and he also bought some home, which made Yang Yunqiu cry and laugh.
The silver money is almost earned, take stock, the rest is actually 30,000 taels, and continue to earn in a long time, the Yin Dynasty is not better than the later generations, the book is sold here for a long time, many books have been sold for two or three years, and it is still a new book in the field, who makes the traffic not in the aspect, the circulation of books is not fast enough, and so the heat of Quanzhou has passed, the heat of other places should also come, although it is inevitable that there are pirated copies, but the people who really pay attention to it, most of them are still willing to buy genuine products.
Yang Yunqiu also made illustrations, wrote and painted, stamped with Mr. Tianzhi's seal, and attached to some books as gifts, of course, whether you can buy such a special book depends on luck.
The effect of this trick is not obvious now, and later there were even book lovers who wanted to wrap up the entire bookstore in order to get a book illustrated by Mr. Tianzhi, but they were suppressed by other book lovers, so they didn't make the trip, and they bought it at a high price. The problem is that no one wants to sell this rare edition, and for a while they only hear its name, but don't see it, and they are all collected in bookcases by book lovers, and are treasured as good things for display and face.
Even the famous prostitute Rouge is asking for a picture, Mr. Tianzhi's painting of the famous prostitute Awan, and the portrait of the champion Dong Cheng paid a high price, that picture is actually relatively simple, far less gorgeous than other pictures, but Rouge is in love with the words above Awan - "Bear you in this life, and promise you in the next life." ”
So, you have to get it.
Rouge said a word, provoked the daughter of the gentleman boy who was all over the city to ask for a painting, but the one who got the painting was also a young girl, or the daughter of a trading company passing by Quanzhou, who didn't live in Quanzhou for a long time, where could they find it?
As a result, Yang Yunqiu got enough shelves, and asked those gentlemen to pay for the pen to a thousand taels, and finally drew an illustration seriously, with bright colors, the paints used were all matched by himself, and he also used 3D painting skills, from a certain angle, the characters were lifelike.
Anyone who has seen the painting will say that the painting is indeed worth a thousand gold.
For a while, Mr. Tianzhi's name was known to many literati and writers who had long been famous, and in the past they could not look down on people who wrote novels, but now they have to have a little more respect.
However, Mr. Tianzhi is who, so far only the bookstore shopkeeper knows, his mouth is very strict, don't care who asks around the bush, he also refuses to speak, everyone only knows that Mr. Tianzhi is very young, incredibly small, and the rest, they can't inquire about anything.
Yang Yunqiu didn't care about the disturbances outside, he deliberately took a commemorative version of "Di Renjie", the kind with all the illustrations, and sent it to the clerical master under Sun Zhifu.
The clerk's surname is Mi, he is a close confidant of Sun Zhaoming, he is kind, very popular, the original owner Sun Zhaoming, is also the son of Sun Zhaoming, he used to be very polite to Sun Zhaoming, and he will greet him when they meet, although the two people do not have a big friendship, they still know each other.
Master Mi received Sun Zhaoming's invitation, originally very surprised, in his impression, the young master who had not yet entered the gate of the Sun family, had a dull temperament, and never liked to deal with people, but he still went to the appointment, Master Mi's greatest ability is to never offend anyone easily.
Unexpectedly, I was taken aback when I met, Sun Zhaoming had changed too much, and I was even more surprised when I looked at the full set of books handed over by others.
Master Zuihou came out of the restaurant in a daze with a book, and then suddenly sobered up, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that this is a capable person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger!" The prefect should let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. ”
A twelve-year-old boy, in three or two strokes, fooled him, an old oilman of the yamen, and made him willingly agree to help the young man buy a piece of mountainous land in Wenshan, which is really rare.
Looking at "Di Renjie", which he had been thinking about for a long time and was still reluctant to buy, Master Mi found that he even felt that this deal was actually very cost-effective.
