Lu Zheng sent the manuscript, how dare Gu Zhilun not pay a penny?

A businessman is inferior in his bones, Gu Zhilun is a businessman, but he has a study in the backyard, dresses and clothes, and highlights his fame everywhere, which is the embodiment of the supremacy of all social strata of scholars.

What should a reader look like? Lu Zheng's style is the backbone of a real scholar, he regards money as a blockage, and does not forget morality in front of his daughter, this is that wealth cannot be lewd, Gu Zhilun compares himself to Lu Zheng, it is really shameless.

Dakang Dynasty, Xiucai is divided into three classes, the first class Xiucai is called Yusheng, the state has a special subsidy for this kind of Xiucai, after the examination, directly enter the county school or the state school palace to study, accept the assessment every year, and can participate in the township examination. The second-class show is called the increase of life, and the expansion of the student is the expansion of the endowment, this kind of show does not enjoy the state subsidy, but the outstanding have the opportunity to participate in the township test to rely on the lifting of people, and the last class show is called the epiphysis, attached to the student. Attached students must first make up for the endowment in the annual assessment of the county school or the state school palace before they can be eligible to participate in the township examination.

Moreover, the attached student members of the Dakang Dynasty can be donated, if they are not admitted to the Xiucai at the age of forty, they can spend money to donate a Xiucai, Gu Zhilun is an attached student member, so how embarrassing is his identity as a Xiucai, he is like a mirror in his own heart.

Lu Zheng sent the manuscript, came out of the Chunfeng Building with a full meal and wine, and Gu Zhilun beckoned the little guy in the bookstore to prepare the things.

A twenty-four history, a "Xinde Dictionary" and an engraved set of "Five Classics", as well as "Commentary on the Five Classics", "Commentary on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", "Selected Texts" and other books, it is almost a carriage.

"Brother Zheng, don't be polite to me! Uncle Shi, I have nothing else to do in my life, but to run books. These books are given to you by Uncle Shi, I hope you will one day be able to win the Toad Palace, and the title of the gold list! ”

Gu Zhilun stuffed Lu Zheng with a small tip and said: "Brother Zheng, this is what I mean, you can reward people with it, don't shirk!" Give Uncle a little thin noodles! ”

Gu Zhilun rented a carriage for Lu Zheng to deliver the book, and gave another two hundred taels of silver, all of which added up, and he only spent a few hundred taels of silver.

Spending this little money to get such a book manuscript, he can be said to have made a lot of money, where can he be in a bad mood?

Seeing that the boss was happy, Yang Shishi on the side felt worthless for Lu Zheng, such a valuable manuscript was given away directly, and it was really not worth it to give it to a profiteer like Gu Zhilun.

Lu Zheng really thinks that there is a lot of money, can't he earn the money and reward them with some rewards for these poor minions?

Ying'er also frowned again and again, she had been involved in today's events from beginning to end, and when Gu Zhilun wanted to give Lu Zheng a thousand taels of silver, she almost bit off her tongue.

And Lu Zheng categorically rejected a thousand taels of silver, which made her both admire and feel distressed, admiration is naturally admiration for Lu Zheng's integrity of treating money like dung, and distress is naturally that a thousand taels of silver was rejected like this, which is really a pity.

Lu Zheng is in such a bad situation now, if he has a thousand silver in hand, he can go to the outside of Zhang's mansion and set up a courtyard, so as to completely get rid of the clamps of the Zhang family, and from now on, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and there is no need to live a day of trembling and walking on thin ice.

didn't ask for a thousand taels of silver, Gu Zhilun sent Lu Zheng away with a cart of books, and Ying'er was in a complicated mood.

Only Qi Biao's expression was the most normal, and he felt funny in his heart when he saw Gu Zhilun's happy look, as if he had taken advantage of a big advantage.

Where is Brother Zheng'er's cheapness so easy to take advantage of? When I looked back, there was a time when Gu Zhilun cried......

……

The light in the study room, which was not spacious, was a little dim, Lu Zheng put down the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said, "What time is it, Shadow?" ”

"It's the beginning of time! Uncle Qi has been waiting for you in the yard, saying that Boss Chen's carriage outside has been waiting for you for more than half an hour! Shadow leaned over slowly.

Lu Zheng stretched a long waist and said, "Okay, Ying'er, I'll go out with Uncle Qi, the time to come back may be a little late, you and Si Qi and they will rest early." ”

Lu Zheng walked out of the study, Qi Biao was already standing in the courtyard, and he smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, should you leave now?" ”

"Let's go!"

Lu Zheng walked out of the yard and walked out of the West Corner Gate, outside the door, a green curtain carved and painted carriage stopped at the door in an orderly manner, and when he saw Lu Zheng come out, a person rolled out of the carriage, and said happily: "Oh, Lu Gongzi, you can come." The little one has been waiting for you here for a long time, please get in the car quickly, today there is a noble man who admires your style, you must meet with you, let the slave come and invite you.

Where is the face of the minion, oh, you are also easy-going, lifting the minion, the minion is really inscribed with! ”

This guy is none other than Yang Shishi, the little guy in Hengwu Bookstore. Look at this minion, I haven't seen him for half a month, his complexion has been very different, he doesn't wear a linen cardigan, he changed into a silk shirt today, and he has a pair of white-soled soap boots on his feet, and the whole person looks a lot more energetic.

Lu Zheng squinted at him and said, "Isn't this Yang Shi?" Okay, I'll walk with you today and see what tricks you kid has in store! ”

Lu Zheng and Qi Biao got into the carriage, and Yang Shi shouted: "Lu Gongzi, sit tight and sit down!" ”

He raised his whip, and the carriage went straight down Xincheng River Street to the shore of Slender West Lake in the city.

The horse walked briskly, and Yang Shi raised his whip and hummed a little song excitedly.

Lu Zheng is really his nobleman, because of Lu Zheng, he knows the origin of the manuscript of "Journey to the West", and recently "Journey to the West" in Hengwu Bookstore is selling well all over the city, and it is expensive to sell Luoyang paper. No, it made Gu Zhilun, the owner of Hengwu Bookstore, happy, but also worried Chen Changwen, the owner of Qingya Bookstore, another big bookstore in Yangzhou.

Chen Changwen found Yang Shishi in a hurry, and without saying a word, he directly gave him a reward of ten taels of silver, and then gave him another two taels of silver every month, which was four times that of his Hengwu Bookstore, and Yang Shi naturally went to Qingya Bookstore.

Chen Changwen also promised him that if Yang Shi could invite Lu Zheng, he could also give Yang Shi a reward of dozens of taels of silver! No, now that Lu Zheng has gotten into the carriage and the reward is in hand again, where will Yang Shi be unhappy?

This time he got the reward, Yang Shi had already thought about it, and immediately bought a few acres of land in his hometown, and then renovated the house in his hometown.

Lu Zheng Lu Gongzi is a scholar, simple and simple, Chen Changwen must have a way to get the remaining manuscripts in his hand, if Yang Shishi facilitates this transaction, there may be more rewards!

With a yearning for a better life, Yang Shi finally drove the carriage to the destination.

Lu Zheng came to the Slender West Lake Painting Boat for the first time, and at this time, the lights were on, and the area of Slender West Lake was very lively.

Scholars, officials, sons, merchants, and even peddlers and pawns are gathered here, the lights on the painting boat are bright, the girls, and the beauties are all at the bow of the boat to welcome guests, warblers and swallows, so lively.

On the lake, the sound of silk and bamboo occasionally sounds, and the ethereal singing sound adds endless reverie to people's imagination.

Yang Shi led the way in front, and several people boarded a painting boat called "Listening to the Rain Pavilion", Lu Zheng went up to the bow of the boat, and the old bustard immediately came over with a smile, and said: "Oh, this son's face is tight, and I don't know which pretty sister is blessed today, Childe, let's 'listen to the Rain Pavilion' Xuanxuan girl......"

"Go, go! Who are you to be Lu Gongzi? People are guests outside Chen Yuan, can Xuanxuan's vulgar fans be worthy of him? ”

"Oh, you see I'm really dizzy! Please, please, Chen Yuanwai has been waiting for a long time! ”

"Listening to the Rain Pavilion" painting boat, a total of three floors high, the design is exquisite, really like a luxury cruise ship, the upper room on the top floor, the ground is covered with a scarlet Persian carpet, the room is elegantly furnished, not stained with the slightest smell of wind and dust, but like the daughter's boudoir in general.

Chen Yuanwai is naturally Chen Changwen, he is about forty years old, white-faced, beardless, dressed in Confucian clothes, holding a folding fan, very literary and graceful.

"Haha, Lu Gongzi Lu Zheng, I have admired him for a long time, I have been contemptible Chen Changwen, I have long admired Gongzi's talent, I am really honored to see my son's true face today!" Chen Changwen was extremely polite, Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and said:

"Boss Chen is polite, according to the seniority, I should call you Uncle Shi! Uncle Shi is so expensive today, I am very sorry not to go! Lu Zheng said.

As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Chen Changwen was in a good mood, nodded at Lu Zheng with great appreciation, and said, "In this case, I will call you Brother Zheng!" Brother Zheng doesn't know, this listens to Yuxuan's 'Qilan' everyone, but they also admire you!

If not, a layman like me, where can I have the opportunity to listen to the boudoir banquet of everyone in Yuge Qilan! ”

Chen Changwen said this very sincerely, Lu Zheng's heart moved slightly, he looked around, where did he see anyone else?

Chen Changwen smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, everyone Qilan will be here later." He paused, looked Lu Zheng up and down, and sighed:

"I can't believe that such a shocking masterpiece as "Journey to the West" is actually from Brother Zheng'er, a real boy is promising!"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Chen, "Journey to the West" is not my work, it is a masterpiece of the great Confucian dynasty of the previous dynasty, and I just collected and sorted out some manuscripts. Don't hide it from Uncle Shi, I don't have a fame, for me, the first thing now is to study hard and get fame as soon as possible. ”

"Smack, smack!" Chen Changwen clapped his hands and praised, and said: "Good, good, Brother Zheng is ambitious, I look at Brother Zheng'er is young and old, and his spirit is lofty, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool. ”
