Chapter 011: Hengwu Bookstore!

The woman on the Xincheng River Painting Boat is naturally not a woman from a good family, and the woman from a good family is definitely not so bold, the little girl didn't dare to "tease" Lu Zheng like this for the first time when she pushed open the window!

I still remember that day in the spring, the Xincheng River was full of fog, the little girl got up early and pushed open the window like today, but happened to see a pair of eyes looking at her in a daze, that day the painting boat docked on the shore, and the distance between the two was only five or six feet.

The two looked at each other, even if they were girls who grew up in the dust, in such a hurry, they couldn't help but blush in an instant.

Lu Zheng naturally won't be embarrassed, seeing that there are beautiful women, he can't be happy, where will he be embarrassed? When even raised his hand and smiled, he shouted at the girl, "Hi! ”

The little girl felt that she was being teased, so she poured a basin of water from the window, and Lu Zheng retreated abruptly, but her mood was very happy.

Later, Lu Zheng would come to Hengwu Bookstore every day, the painting boat was there every day, Lu Zheng would look at the Xincheng River every day, and the little girl would splash water every day, but there was not much hostility.

Lu Zheng's forced grid is there, at first glance, it is the son of a rich family, in the early morning, the sisters are sleeping, and the little girl secretly teases the rich son, but she can also have a good mood for a day.

Lu Zheng's mood is also good, he has gained a lot today, "Xinde Dictionary" is more and more convenient, he went to the bookstore and flipped through the dictionary for a while, and memorized "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", this book is easy to memorize, the key is that there are no rare words, Lu Zheng's biological age is only thirteen or fourteen years old, which is the best time for memory.

"Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky ......" rhymes.

Yang Shishi, a small servant in the bookstore, came over with a smile, saluted in a proper manner, and said, "Master Lu, our host has come!" ”

Lu Zheng came back to his senses with an "oh" sound, and waved his hand at Qi Biao behind him, Qi Biao secretly gritted his teeth and took out a handful of money from his coat and stuffed it into Yang Shishi's hand, the little guy smiled more and more comfortably, Lu Zheng waved his hand and said: "Give me a copy of the Taizu version of "The Analects"!" ”

"Hey, it's good, a great talent like Childe, you should study the Taizu version, and the little one will wrap it up for you right away!" Yang Shishi happily took a volume of the Analects, and when he left, his eyes couldn't help but slide over the shadow.

"Tsk, this big girl is more gorgeous and luxurious than the young lady of a big family!" Yang Shishi sighed in his heart, and the admiration in his heart was indescribable.

Ying'er is in a much better mood today than a few days ago, hearing Yang Shi's flattery of Lu Zheng's talent, she didn't feel particularly numb, just now she watched a paragraph of "The Legend of the West Chamber", and her mind was still immersed in the world of books, but seeing her eyebrows frowning slightly, she added a few more styles.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore is surnamed Gu, his name is Gu Zhilun, he is in his early forties, Hengwu Bookstore has a large collection of books, and is known as the first bookstore in Yangzhou, Gu Zhilun is also a well-known businessman in Yangzhou, although it cannot be compared with the Zhang family, but it is also a figure with a head and a face on the ground in Yangzhou.

The key to this problem is the surname of the two, Lu Zheng's surname is Lu, and Gu Zhilun's surname is Gu, where is the relationship?

It turns out that the four families in Jiangnan are the Gu family of Yingtianfu, the Lu family of Jiangning Mansion, the Zhang family of Yangzhou Mansion, the Chen family of Anqing Mansion, and the surname Gu and Lu are in Nanzhili, and even in the entire Jiangnan are high-quality surnames.

Gu Zhilun and Lu Zheng met, if you want to report to the family, the two families are good together, this is the connection between the surnames of the two.

Of course, neither of the two reported to their homes, and Lu Zheng did not report to his family, but with the eyes of Gu Zhilun's shrewd businessman, could he recognize the big girl from the Zhang family, the richest man in Yangzhou? Combined with the relationship between the Lu family and the Zhang family, Lu Zheng has such pomp and circumstance in the Zhang family, does his identity still need to be said?

On the contrary, it is Gu Zhilun, if he can really get involved in the relationship between the Gu family and the Gu Guogong Mansion of Yingtianfu, where will he come to Yangzhou to do business and make a living? Gu Guogong's Mansion is not like the imperial businessman like the Zhang family, but they are really scholarly, and the Gu family is the head of the four families in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the lintel supported by the scholars!

One is the son of the Lu family, and the other is a side branch of the Gu family, but they met in Yangzhou, and Gu Zhilun naturally looked at Lu Zheng differently.

And Lu Zheng is not very old, but he talks well, and when it comes to poetry and articles, there are always amazing remarks.

Gu Zhilun is famous for his talents, he chatted with Lu Zheng, and he still felt that he couldn't touch Lu Zheng's roots, and this time, the impression that Lu Zheng left on him naturally became more and more extraordinary.

"Uncle Gu Shi! Don't come unharmed! I heard that you have been responding to the sky for the past few days, have you brought back a lot of good books? Lu Zheng saluted Gu Zhilun from afar, calling him Uncle Shi, which made Gu Zhilun feel extremely comfortable.

Gu Zhilun was also wearing a long shirt, he waved his hand, and said, "Chunxiang, hurry up and serve tea to Brother Zheng'er!" Of course, I brought back the book this time, but this pre-rain hairy tip is the real boutique, I have asked someone to wrap a few taels for you, you take it back to try it, this is the taste of our Yingtian Jiangning area! ”

Gu Zhilun was so polite, Lu Zheng hurriedly thanked him, the guest and the host greeted and drank tea, Gu Zhilun said: "Brother Zheng, this time I searched all over the bookstore printing hall, and I didn't see the books you said about "Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", hey, last time I heard you talk about these books, I was very fascinated, but unfortunately I couldn't find it!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Zheng was shocked: "Can't you find it?" What about "Love Monk Record" and "Stone Record"? ”

Gu Zhilun shook his head and said, "Brother Zheng, I've been dealing with books for half my life, and there are really no books you said, if there really is, how can I not get it?" ”

Gu Zhilun's face was regretful, he chatted with Lu Zheng before, Lu Zheng asked him about some book news, and naturally he inevitably mentioned the four famous books, Lu Zheng also said casually at that time, because he had not seen these books in the bookstore, and he was reluctant to spend too much money to buy books. He reported the titles of these books, just to show that he didn't want to buy books, but that the books he wanted to buy were not available in Hengwu Bookstore!

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhilun was concerned about this, and asked about the outline of the content of these books, Lu Zheng casually said the outline involved in them, and Gu Zhilun immediately attracted great attention. As a bookseller, he can tell at a glance what a bestseller is.

If these books that Lu Zheng said really existed, they would definitely be super best-selling books, and he immediately decided to go to Yingtian to find a cooperative bookstore printing library to inquire about the news, but there was nothing to gain.

Lu Zheng was also a little surprised by this result in his heart, "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Peach Blossom Fan" are all books, why are there no "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms"? Many thoughts turned in his mind in an instant, but he couldn't clear his thoughts for a while, so he changed the topic.

After chatting with Gu Zhilun for a while, it was almost lunchtime, so he got up to say goodbye, and the little servant Yang Shi wrapped the Analects in brocade and handed it to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng was about to ask Qi Biao to give money, Gu Zhilun came from behind and snorted and said: "Brother Zheng, you can look at my version of the Analects, that is the honor of our bookstore, you take a book, where can you break the bank?"

I asked Shi to wrap a copy of the four books of the Taizu version for you, and it should be a little bit of my heart, you must not refuse! ”

Lu Zheng: "Huh? I was stunned for a moment, I was very happy in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face, and I often said: "The elder gives, I dare not resign!" I will work hard in my studies and live up to my uncle's persuasion! ”

Gu Zhilun's heart was open, Lu Zheng's words greatly satisfied his vanity, he stroked his beard, and said: "Brother Zheng, in the future, although you will come to my Hengwu Bookstore, you can take the books you like, although your uncle and I are just a businessman, but I am the most fond of reading."

When you were named on the gold list, Uncle Shi and I felt deeply honored......"

Lu Zheng was completely speechless, people in this era are too bold, just like this, can he not only read for free, but also buy books for free?

Lu Zheng had an impulse, and immediately took a set of "Xinde Dictionary" and a set of "Twenty-four History", and then scientifically researched the relevant Five Classics, as well as books such as the Commentary on the Five Classics.

But impulse is just impulse after all, Lu Zheng's face was very calm, and he thanked him again and again, but he didn't seem to be moved, he muttered for a while, but changed his words and said:

"Uncle Shi treats me like this, I am also open and honest to Uncle Shi, the "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms" I said do have their books, and after a while, I will ask someone to find out the news, if I can get the manuscript, I will definitely give Uncle Shi a breath as soon as possible!"

"That dare is good, if there really is, my Hengwu Bookstore will definitely not be left behind others!"

Gu Zhilun personally sent Lu Zheng to the door of the bookstore, the two said goodbye, it was still raining lightly outside, the shadow was holding an oil-paper umbrella, Qi Biao followed behind, and the master and servant disappeared into the fog-like rain curtain.

Gu Zhilun looked at the direction where Lu Zheng disappeared, for a long time, and muttered: "This son is definitely not a thing in the pool!" A son of the Lu family, who was hated by his mother and sent to Yangzhou, but he has his own way of survival. It's unexpected, it's so rare! ”

Gu Zhilun went to Yingtian this time to find books, and secretly inquired about Lu Zheng's origin.

Lu Zheng is the son of the prince who came out of the Lu Guogong Mansion in the Eight Classics, but he is the son of the concubine, and he is not liked by the master's mother.

Lu Zheng's identity is true, but in terms of Lu Zheng's situation, he should live a very depressed and miserable life in Yangzhou, but looking at Lu Zheng's aura, he is followed by a first-class girl of the Zhang family. The reason for this, Gu Zhilun can probably think that Lu Zheng's ability is indeed extraordinary after a little pondering.

Besides, Lu Zheng returned with a big win today, and a set of four books cost more than twenty taels of silver, and now he can get it without spending a penny. And with such a teacher as Ying'er, Lu Zheng will be able to read four books soon!
