Learn to become a literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family. If you want to get ahead, you can only climb the road to a famous family. Therefore, seeing Tie Sheng's indifferent attitude, Lu Ming reminded in a low voice: "Tiezi, a few days ago, the senior brother sent a letter, and he is already a confidant by the second master's side. In the future, a future will be arranged, and it may even be mixed with an official body. Don't say senior brother, I didn't remind you, it is this third grandmother who is now in charge of the He Mansion. You should also hurry up and show your face more, which will be good for you in the future. ”

However, Tie Sheng still didn't care, and said with a hippie smile: "Senior brother, let me play for a few more years, right?" I'm not like Senior Brother and you are already married, and it is a day to be crazy for a day. Moreover, Jingjiazhuang always needs people to town, and the master also sent someone to call, and I am ready to return tomorrow. ”

Lu Ming smiled helplessly: "Whatever you want." ”

Although the reputation of Zhenwei Wuguan spreads all over the north, and it is rampant in most of Shandong and Laizhou Mansion, the main hall is not in Laizhou City, but in Jingjiazhuang. If Laizhou City is the administrative center of Laizhou Prefecture, Jingjiazhuang is the center of the rivers and lakes.

Just like those combat athletes in modern society, some hope to become civil servants in police stations and other units after retirement, seeking stability for a lifetime; Some still want to wander the rivers and lakes to fight for a more resounding reputation. It's all a choice of their own paths.

However, in Lu Ming's heart, Tie Sheng's idea was still very naïve. This era is not at all like modern society, and it can be said that the government controls all the resources. Want fame and fortune? It is inseparable from the government at all. Moreover, the status of the people in the rivers and lakes and the people in the government is simply one heaven and one earth. For example, the later Tai Chi master Yang Luchan, isn't it the fist and foot teaching of Duanwangfu? To tell a joke, even Lin Chong's status as the head of the 800,000 forbidden army is not as good. Baguazhang Grandmaster Dong Haichuan is even more miserable, is he a eunuch in King Su's Mansion?

That is, a young man like Tie Sheng still dreams of a reputation in the rivers and lakes. However, thinking that the main hall of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion was in Jingjiazhuang, and the owner of the hall, the master, the master, and several uncles really needed the manpower to support the field, Lu Ming no longer persuaded him. Anyway, in a few years, when Tie Sheng gets married and starts a business, his mind will change sooner or later, and it will not be too late to ask for Hefu at that time.

……

The two brothers were whispering, and He Wenxian had already walked to the bookstore across the street. However, when he was just about to step on the steps, he suddenly turned his head and saw someone next to him reading a book with relish, and it was actually a picture book that he had never seen before? It felt fresh, so he walked over curiously.

Seeing someone coming, and it was a child wearing a scribe's robe, Qin Gao and Tang Dong glanced up, and then continued to read as if nothing had happened. One of them is a child and the other is mentally handicapped, and they don't have any hierarchical concepts, so they regard He Wenxian as an ordinary passerby.

He Wenxian stared at the album for a while, then raised his legs and prepared to leave. But suddenly he felt itchy again, after all, he was still a child, and the temptation of the album was too strong, so he finally couldn't help it, and asked, "...... Brother, take the liberty of bothering, is there any sale in this bookstore? ”

Qin Gao and Tang Dong looked up together, and seeing that He Wenxian was very polite, Tang Dong replied with a smile: "This is painted by Second Brother Bai himself, I don't know if there is one in the bookstore." There was a childish show-off between the words.

"Oh?" He Wenxian was even more curious, stretched his neck to take a look, and found that it was indeed not a stereotyped print, but a hand-drawn painting, "Then please ...... advice."

Tang Dong was also very interested when he saw He Wenxian, so he generously invited: "It's very good-looking, let's go together!" ”

He Wenxian looked at the entourage on the left and right, a little embarrassed, he really wanted to see it, but the education he had received since he was a child made it impossible for him to sit and watch on the side of the street like Qin Gao and Tang Dong.

The Uncle Lai behind him observed his words, and he immediately walked out, with that condescending smile: "Two little brothers, our young master wants, can you cut your love?" We are from Hefu, I wonder if we can make it convenient? ”

"So?" Although Tang Dong was very reluctant, he knew that these books were all for sale. After thinking about it, he felt that it was important to get down to business: "We were originally sold?" ”

"Oh." Uncle Lai smiled, "Then the little brother will make a price!" "As long as your young master likes it, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher.

"How much?" Tang Dong looked at Qin Gao beside him anxiously. And Qin Gao was indifferent at all, he didn't care about such a thing at all. So Tang Dong became more and more anxious, and he didn't want to escape this business, in a hurry, he looked at his fingers, and remembered that he still had ten toes, so he opened his fingers and quoted the "high price" in his mind, "Just ...... Twenty wen bar! ”

"Twenty Wen?" He Wenxian and Uncle Lai were all surprised, not that the price was too high, but that it was too cheap, and it was almost the same as giving it away for nothing.

Uncle Lai immediately wanted to agree, and he still thought that maybe it was the prestige of the two children in front of him who took pictures of the He Mansion, anyway, no matter what the reason was, he would take advantage of this first.

Unexpectedly, He Wenxian was still very kind: "This friend, do you really only sell at this price?" ”

"That's right!" There is hope to make this business, Tang Dong seems very proud, so "much" money, can buy a lot of delicious snacks, the second brother Bai will definitely praise himself for being a smart child, "We have ten books here, all of them are different stories, a total of ......, is ......" Holding his fingers, Tang Dong couldn't figure out the total number for a while.

He Wenxian showed an expression of disbelief, ten books are two hundred yuan, and any book in the bookstore costs three or five yuan, not to mention those high-priced books, sometimes they all cost one or two taels. He was also ready to agree, thinking that he would reward some silver for the two people in front of him after he bought it.

But at this moment, Qin Gao, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke: "A total of sixteen taels." ”

"Sixteen taels?" Uncle Lai and the others exclaimed in unison again, the price up and down is too exaggerated, right?

"Yes, sixteen taels." Qin Gao insisted, his expression very serious. He really didn't know what the price was, but just now at home he heard Qin Bai and Li Dare say that they wanted to earn sixteen taels to pay off their debts, so Qin Gao recognized this number with a single tendon.

Uncle Lai suddenly became a little angry. It's not that the price is expensive, sixteen or twenty copies are not many, not to mention the price of handmade drawing books is higher. The main thing is that there is a feeling of being deceived. In Laizhou City, there are still people who dare to make such a joke about Hefu.

However, Uncle Lai was about to exert his might against Qin Gao, when he suddenly heard a shout in the distance: "Wait! Is there anything you guys are up to? ”
