Chapter 324: Laborious Crooked Books (3)
Guo Chongtao really found the "Zhuge Qi Book" he needed in the book buyer's home.
Guo Chongtao asked the book seller how much the book was sold. The book seller said, "The book sells for a hundred taels of silver." Guo Chongtao was too expensive, so he matched the book seller. The book seller said, don't think I don't know the true value of this book. I tell you, if you want to buy it, you put down a hundred taels of silver, and you take the book away, and if you don't want to buy it, you can go wherever you want. I also tell you, this book is now sold for one tael of silver, if you don't buy it now, you go out of me, if you come back and you want to buy my book again, maybe the price of my book will rise, maybe my book will go up to two hundred taels of silver.
*******
At this time, the book seller's daughter-in-law came.
The seller's daughter-in-law said, "Don't think our book is expensive." If you don't buy it, if you get out of me, if you come back and want to sell it, maybe you won't be able to buy it for a thousand taels of silver. ”
Guo Chongtao hesitated at first.
Then, Guo Chongtao asked the book seller's daughter-in-law, "Why?" ”
The bookseller's daughter-in-law said, "Because now someone wants to buy our book for 10,000 taels of gold!" ”
Guo Chongtao said: "What? ”
Guo Chongtao was stunned.
*******
The bookseller said, "Don't believe me." I'll tell you the truth. A few days ago, a friend of mine came to me and read my book. My friend said to me at the time that this book was a treasure book. My friend said that the book was worth 10,000 taels of gold. I asked my friend at the time. I said, is this book worth it? That friend of mine said, it's worth it! No, a guy came not long ago, and he also wanted to buy my book! ”
"What?"
When Guo Chongtao heard this, he was shocked.
Guo Chongtao said: "What? A guy came a while ago, and he wanted to buy your book? ”
The book seller asked, "Yes." ”
Guo Chongtao said: "Do you know that person's name and surname? ”
The bookseller said, "Yes." It is the current prime minister of our Xishu Kingdom, Ling Yiren. ”
Guo Chongtao said: "What? ”
Then. Guo Chongtao was even more surprised.
Guo Chongtao was afraid that a big man like Ling Yiren would buy this book.
******
The book seller said, "Not long ago, I was selling books on the street. At that time, I put my book on the book stall. At that time, Ling Yiren and Prime Minister Ling Cheng happened to be passing by me. At that time, Ling Yiren and Prime Minister Ling Cheng paid attention to my book. At that time, Ling Yiren and Ling Cheng were not yet prime ministers. At that time, Ling Yiren and Prime Minister Ling were still adults. At that time, Lord Ling asked me, and he asked me how much the book was sold for. At that time, I remembered what my friend had said to me earlier. Because my friend told me that my book was worth 10,000 taels of gold. At that time, I half-jokingly and half-truthfully said to Lord Ling that my book sold for 10,000 taels of gold. At that time, after Lord Ling heard this, he sighed, and he left. I saw it at the time. Lord Ling seems to like my book very much, and if the price is lower, maybe Lord Ling can really sell my book. ”
"Whew"
At this time, Guo Chongtao let out a "sigh".
The book seller said, "That's why I didn't let you turn over my book when you were going to open it just now." Because I know the preciousness of my book. ”
When Guo Chongtao heard this, his heart began to tense.
Because Ling Yiren has already paid attention to this book!
******
Guo Chongtao asked the book seller: "Didn't Lord Ling look for you again in the future?" ”
The book seller said: "In the future, Lord Ling will be hunted down and killed by De Yihai, and then Lord Ling will be trapped in Mianzhu." From now on, Lord Ling will be the prime minister. Maybe Lord Ling will be busy with affairs in the future, maybe Lord Ling will have other reasons in the future, and Lord Ling will not come in the future. ”
Guo Chongtao said: "Since you think that your book is worth 10,000 taels of gold. Why do you sell it to me for a hundred denarii? ”
The bookseller said, "I'll be honest with you." My book is worth 10,000 taels of gold, and a friend of mine said it. I'm not so sure my book is worth that much money. I'm not so sure that Lord Ling will really pay so much money to sell my book in the future. So I thought, but if I can sell it, I'll sell it. Because of the money that was sold to the hand. It's money. What if Lord Ling doesn't come to buy it in the future? If Lord Ling doesn't come to buy it in the future, this book will be like waste paper in my hands. ”
"Huh."
Guo Chongtao nodded.
******
The book seller said, "So, if you really want my book." If you put down a hundred taels of silver, you will take my book, and if you don't want my book, you can do it. If you don't want my book, I'll wait for Lord Ling to come. Anyway, I know a little bit about the value of my book. ”
"Huh."
Guo Chongtao snorted again.
The book seller said, "That's why my wife just said to you, if you don't buy it now, if you regret it later and come back and want to buy it, maybe you won't be able to buy a thousand taels of gold." Because Lord Ling may come to buy my book at any time, if my book is bought by Lord Ling, don't say that you spend a thousand taels of silver, no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy it. ”
*******
Guo Chongtao thought: One hundred taels of silver is one white tael of silver! To tell the truth, a hundred taels of silver is worth buying a book like this.
Thinking of this, Guo Chongtao took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver, and he put it in the hands of the book seller.
Guo Chongtao said to the book seller: "Okay, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver, I'll buy it!" ”
The bookseller took the money.
The book seller gave the book to Guo Chongtao.
After Guo Chongtao took the book, he immediately picked it up as if he had found a treasure.
Guo Chongtao said: You can get this book!
******
At this time, Guo Chongtao wanted to leave.
Because Guo Chongtao doesn't want to dream a lot at night.
Guo Chongtao thought: Anyway, what I want is a book, and I have already got the book anyway, what am I still doing here, what if something happens after a long time?
But at this time, the book seller's daughter-in-law cooked the meal, and the book seller wanted to keep Guo Chongtao for a meal at his place.
Because this book can be sold for a white tael of silver, it is indeed a lot for the book buyer, and the book seller is a little grateful to Guo Chongtao, and he wants to invite Guo Chongtao to have a meal at his place.
******
Guo Chongtao saw that it was already late, if he didn't eat here, if he looked for a store, he didn't know how far he would go to find a store, so he sat down here.
While they were having dinner together, the book seller asked Guo Chongtao, "Dao Chief, can I ask, is there any use for that book you want?" ”
Guo Chongtao made up nonsense.
Guo Chongtao said: "Tell the truth. I want to sell that book to Ling Yiren Ling Chengxiang, and I want to make some money from it. ”
"What?"
The book seller was stunned for a moment.
Guo Chongtao said: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." If I give this book to Prime Minister Ling Cheng, if Prime Minister Ling Cheng rewards more money, I will divide the money that Prime Minister Ling Cheng has rewarded more evenly, if I give this book to Prime Minister Ling Cheng, if Ling Cheng is not interested in this book, a hundred taels of silver will be counted as a charity, how about it? ”
The bookseller smiled.
The book seller didn't say anything?
Anyway, selling and buying books is voluntary, anyway, after the "book buyer" in front of him gave the book to Ling Yiren, and after Ling Yiren rewarded the money, what can the "book buyer" do not give him money?
After Guo Chongtao finished eating, the book seller sent Guo Chongtao away.
******
Guo Chongtao got the book, and he was very happy.
Guo Chongtao is gone.
But who knows, there was a big joke at this time. (To be continued......)
