Chapter 148: A Lot of Silver
Unconsciously, he returned to Le Xuan's mansion, and after asking the concierge, he learned that Le Xuan had not returned from the palace, so Qiu Ju and Chen Siye led Jin Hongtai and Jin Hongyi to the main hall to rest for a while, waiting for Le Xuan to come back.
When they saw a peach forest in Le Xuan's mansion, the two brothers and sisters couldn't help but exclaim.
Several people sat down in the main hall, the first place was naturally reserved for Le Xuan, Jin Hongtai and Jin Hongyi sat in the second seats on both sides, and Chen Siye and Qiu Ju sat in the next place. A few people chatted about some and some of them, but Chen Siye always felt that Jin Hongyi's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, but he didn't know why.
While chatting, Jin Hongtai rubbed his hands and smiled: "Brother Chen, I wonder if the book with colorful pictures you mentioned today can make our brothers and sisters look at it?" ”
Jin Hongyi on the side also looked at Chen Siye when she heard this, in fact, the two were not familiar with Le Xuan, and they came here just for his book.
Chen Siye was also happy to have a good relationship with them, so he said, "Wait a while, you two, I'll go get it." ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the door of the main hall, ready to go back to the house to get it, but at a glance, he saw that Jingqing, this kid, was peeking at the door, Chen Siye knocked on his head, grabbed him and pulled him aside, "What are you kid peeking at?" Whoever asked you to come, go and go, while playing. ”
Jing Qing covered her head and said, "I heard Sister Yan'er say that there is a pair of blonde and blue-eyed people in the house, and I want to come and see it before I have seen it." ”
Chen Siye rolled his eyes and said, "What's so good, don't you know that most of Xizhou is like this?" It's all two eyes, one nose and one mouth, walk quickly, don't let people see the rudeness. He had forgotten what he had seen the two of them for the first time. So Jing Qing could only leave with a look of grievance.
Back in the room, Chen Siye took two of the two books, returned to the main hall, and handed the books to the two.
Sure enough, the two of them couldn't put it down, it was very strange, Jin Hongtai flipped through a few pages, and said unsatisfactorily: "This is really exquisite, the handwriting is clear and neat, and there are color pictures, which are much stronger than what we bought for a hundred taels of silver." ”
"A hundred taels of silver?" Chen Siye and Qiu Ju both exclaimed in surprise, listening to what he said, it seemed that it was still an ordinary version of the book, and a few hundred texts were turned to a hundred taels of silver, and there was really no one who was wronged.
Chen Siye couldn't help but stumble: "Brother Jin, it's too extravagant to buy two books for one hundred taels of silver, you must know that the most expensive one in Jiangxia Mansion was only a few taels of silver, which has multiplied many times." ”
Who knew that Jin Hongtai shook his head and said, "It's not two, it's one hundred and twenty-one!" I also think it's expensive, it's just..."Saying that, he looked at Jin Hongyi a little helplessly.
Jin Hongyi's face flushed slightly and said: "Rare things are expensive, although they are indeed a little expensive, but what Chen Gongzi wrote is so fascinating, I can't help but buy it." ”
Hearing this, Chen Siye couldn't help but sigh that this scalper was really black-hearted, he made so much money when he changed hands, and he set a cheap price for them instead.
At this time, I heard Jin Hongtai say: "Brother Chen, how much are these books worth?" I didn't bring any money with me when we came out, but when we got back, I sent someone to bring it to you. ”
Chen Siye waved his hand again and again: "No need, these books will be given to Brother Jin and the county lord, and they are not worth a few dollars." ”
"How embarrassing is this, Brother Chen doesn't have to be polite, just say how much silver."
"It's really not necessary, Brother Jin doesn't want to be like this, it's just a few books, I hit it off with Brother Jin at first sight, and this should be regarded as a meeting gift." Chen Siye is rare to be generous, mainly because he likes the identity of others, so he doesn't want money.
"If so, then we do

It's disrespectful, thank you Brother Chen. Jin Hongtai's expression was a little moved, and Chen Siye's goal was successfully achieved.
The two just took the same car, and then they began to call each other brothers, and Qiu Ju and Jin Hongyi on the side didn't know what was going on, they were very curious.
At this time, it was not early, Le Xuan still hadn't come back, the Jin brothers and sisters got the book, and it was considered complete, so they got up and said goodbye, Chen Siye and Qiu Ju were not the masters after all, and it was inconvenient to leave them for dinner, so they sent them out of the house and watched them leave.
After sending them away, Chen Siye and Qiu Ju were also preparing to go back separately, and as they were walking, Qiu Ju suddenly said: "If the Xuanyang County Lord asks you if you are married, you will say that you have already married a wife, do you know?" ”
Suddenly hearing this, Chen Siye couldn't help but be stunned, stopped and asked, "Why?" But I really don't have a marriage match, so it's not good to deceive people like this. ”
Seeing that Chen Siye actually dared to question what she said, Qiu Ju immediately raised her hand to fight, but her crescent eyes narrowed and she gritted her teeth and said, "Where did it come from, why!" If you say it, you listen! Itchy skin, isn't it? ”
Chen Siye suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by Qiu Ju again, and hurriedly covered his face with his hand: "Okay, okay, I know, but I should also know who I married, right?" Is it okay to say that I will marry you? ”
"No way!" Although Qiu Ju refused neatly, her face was dyed with a hint of blush, "You said that you married Sister Su as your wife, and you took Xiao Tao as a concubine." ”
Although it felt very inexplicable, Chen Siye still agreed, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if it was the incident with Xiao Tao.
......
As for when Le Xuan came back later, Chen Siye didn't know at all, and went back to the room to miss Mingyuesu.
There was nothing to say all night, he got up early the next day, and he got up at dawn, he was worried about his plan to sell books, and he couldn't sleep lazily for the sake of silver, of course he couldn't rely on himself, so he called Jingqing out of his sleep again, and the two girls Xiangling and Miaozhu were not spared.
He originally wanted to ask Cuiyun Xiaochan Qiuju and the girls to help, but now there are two girls in the Wei Ruixuan where the girls live who are very hostile to him for some reason, and he can't come and go at will, so he can only give up.
A few people said hello to Uncle Ming, and worked together to move tables, chairs, bookcases, etc., and placed them outside the county lord's mansion. said that it was a concerted effort, but in fact, Chen Siye contributed alone, Jingqing and the two girls couldn't move heavy objects at all, so they could only take some small things. However, Chen Siye easily lifted the box full of books above his head, which really stunned several people.
After arranging the temporary sales point, Chen Siye wrote the words "Xinhua Bookstore - The Legend of Sword and Fairy Special Signing Meeting" in red silk and hung it on a bamboo pole and put it aside.
In this way, the whole venue is finished, just waiting for someone to buy books. Chen Siye explained to the three of them again: "If there are guests to buy books, Xiangling Miaozhu, you must greet you with a smile, first say welcome, and then ask the guests what books they want, Jingqing, you are next to the bookbox in the back, after hearing the guests say the books they want, they will take out the corresponding books and hand them to Xiangling, Xiangling, you will hand them to the guests, as for Miaozhu, you will be responsible for collecting money and change, be careful not to make mistakes." ”
Xiangling and Miaozhu had never done such a thing, so they couldn't help but be a little timid, but Jingqing was familiar with the road and was not worried at all, but wondered: "What is that brother-in-law doing?" ”
Chen Siye raised his eyebrows and said, "I naturally have to do the most tiring work and coordinate the overall situation." Jing Qing couldn't help but be speechless.
At this time, it was already the end of the hour, Chen Siye was looking forward to it, waiting for someone to buy books, and suddenly saw several people walking in the distance
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
came, it seemed that he was going to buy a book, Chen Siye hurriedly said happily: "Someone is coming, everyone is coming, everything is ready!" ”
The two girls were very nervous, and Miaozhu suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Childe, you haven't told me how much silver this book will sell." ”
Chen Siye patted his head, then remembered that the price had not yet been set, and thinking of what Jin Hongtai said yesterday, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's set at one hundred taels and one book!" ”
"One hundred taels!" Several people exclaimed, "Will anyone buy it?" ”
Chen Siye was also a little apprehensive, I don't know if the price is so high will scare people away, but when I think about the young lady who lives in this inner city, one must be richer than the other, although a hundred taels of silver is a lot, it is not unaffordable, so he said: "It's okay!" It's set at one hundred taels! "How can you make money without being ruthless?
Those people really came to buy books, Xiangling and Miaozhu were very nervous, and stumbled: "Few... A son, Huan... Welcome, I don't know what to do.. What books to buy? ”,
The three of them didn't answer, but looked at Chen Siye and arched their hands: "Chen Gongzi! Fortunately! Today, we have been coveting Chen Gongzi's book for a long time. ”
Chen Siye also hurriedly returned the gift, these are all customers, "Fortunately, a few sons are really appreciative, I don't know how many books they want?" ”
"I heard that Chen Gongzi has written two books, so let's have two each."
Jing Qing took out six books and handed them to Xiangling, Xiangling handed them to the three of them, the three of them looked back and forth, praised again and again, Chen Siye gave Miaozhu a look and asked her to quote and collect the money, but Miaozhu didn't know what it meant, Chen Siye had no choice but to go into battle in person.
"What do the three sons think?"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"That's good, one hundred taels of silver each, a total of six hundred taels of silver."
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "One hundred taels each?!" Too expensive, right? ”
Chen Siye hurriedly explained: "The three of them don't know, this book uses the best paper, the best ink, after opening it, it is fragrant, I must have experienced, and the latest movable type printing technology is also used, the handwriting is clear, it does not hurt the eyes, the color picture on the cover is designed by the lord of Pingle himself, the master painter personally colored, and the book is also transported from Jiangxia Mansion for thousands of miles, it can be said that it is unique, only these hundreds of copies, buy it is earned, and miss it is a lifetime." ”
Chen Siye felt that what he had said was very tempting, but the three of them still looked embarrassed, but Jing Qing and the two girls were stunned by his eloquence, and they all looked at him with admiration.
Seeing that these people still hadn't made up their minds, Chen Siye couldn't help but suspect that his price was too high? Then he gritted his teeth and said: "But a few guests who came to cheer us on first, it will be counted as the cost price, fifty taels of silver!" What do you think? ”
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, paid the silver ticket quickly, and left with the book in their hands.
Looking at their backs, Chen Siye secretly said that the children of the family in the capital are all so poor? It shouldn't be!
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Siye said to Miaozhu: "From now on, it will be changed to fifty two and one one!" ”
When I arrived, the number of people who came to buy books gradually increased, it seemed that they were all young ladies from various families who had participated in the poetry meeting yesterday, Xiangling and Miaozhu were gradually becoming proficient, through Chen Siye's observation, fifty taels seemed to be indeed more suitable, most of them could afford to buy two, and the least could afford one.
I also met a wealthy man who bought five copies of each at once, and threw five hundred taels of silver, and I didn't know what to do with so many of them.
But this is not important, the important silver, it is really a lot of money!
