Chapter 25: Rat Whiskers
(Today's first chapter, please continue to support the brothers, today has collected two hundred or the top three of the new history book list, all add a new chapter.) )
And around the pile of books on the right and in the middle is the most, all kinds of people are not the same, there are those who wear short shirts and look like the shopkeepers, and they still hold a copy of "The Secret History of the Emperor" and read it with relish, there are those who are dressed up but are luxuriously dressed, holding "Spring Dream Trivia" with a lewd smile on their faces, and even those who seem to be the rich lady with a maid next to her, also mixed in the crowd, and saw a new book of talented and beautiful women, and refused to put it down when she held it in her arms, and read two sentences carefully, Immediately asked the maid to take the purse embroidered with flowers and incense to pay for the silver.
On the side of the street wall, there is a large space, separated by a few small spaces with sparse bamboo, wood, flowers and stones, in which there are delicate tables and chairs, and there are also people leaning on chairs, holding a book and reading it. The afternoon sun shone through the window, lazily making people feel warm, and there was fragrant tea on the table, and the fragrance of tea curled up, which reminded Lian Zining of the café of the later generations.
It's surprisingly similar.
It's just that the people who can sit in the single room separated from it are all richly dressed, basically dressed up by a rich lady, and there is a maid next to her, and the fragrance of Yaya is smoky.
Lian Zining glanced at it, and it was clear that this single room obviously had to be paid to get in, and it was better for idlers to stand and read. But at such times, it is really a pleasure to hold a favorite book and read it quietly in this quiet bookstore. He couldn't help but be a little curious about the boss of this episode of Yaxuan, it was a novelty to have such a creative idea in the Ming Dynasty.
In the corner on the right, there is a counter, made like a desk, with a few books piled up on it, and a thin middle-aged man of about forty years old is sitting in the back, also reading with relish. He is not good-looking, a pair of mouse whiskers, small eyes, he has been completely immersed in the book, only when someone comes to take the book to pay the bill, he will raise his head, take the money is a wave of his hand, it seems that the customer disturbs his interest in reading the book, and when he sees the pride, his beard is shaking and shaking. Lian Zining shook his head, this person is only afraid that he is the shopkeeper of this Ji Yaxuan, why does he not take care of business so much?
He walked over and knocked on the table, and the middle-aged man's eyes were raised blankly, and he saw the moon-white robe on Lian Zining's body - the so-called moon-white, to put it bluntly, is made of cloth that has not been dyed, why not dye? No money! Usually poor sour wear this--The rat whisker immediately showed a look of disgust, and said impatiently: "If you buy a book, pay the bill quickly, and the store will not owe it on credit!" ”
Lian Zining held back the anger in his heart and said, "This gentleman, the student is here to sell scripts. ”
"Oh? Buying a flower book? Rat Whisker touched his bare chin, glanced at Lian Zining up and down, stretched out his hand, and said coldly: "Take it and take a look!" ”
Lian Zining saw clearly what book he was reading at this time - "The Biography of Ruyi Jun", this book is known as the first erotic novel in the Ming Dynasty, and it also has the title of the ancestor of erotic novels, which describes the glamorous history of Wu Zetian and Xue Aocao and other four people, focusing on Xue Aocao. There are a lot of bed scenes, and most of them are described in this way, and they have a deep influence on later erotic novels, and later novels such as "The Golden Bottle" are deeply influenced by it, and even many chapters in the Golden Bottle are directly copied from this.
It turned out that I was looking at such things, no wonder I was impatient.
When Lian Zining came, he carried the first 5,000 words of "Infant Ning" in his sleeve, and handed it over at this time, and the rat whisker first looked at it impatiently, and then his eyes froze, and his face showed a look of surprise and joy, and then he stopped and read the 5,000 words all the time.
"How's it going, this gentleman, how much can a student's book sell for a thousand words?" Lian Zining asked with a smile, from Yu Jingguan's performance in the morning, he had already dared to conclude that his book could be sold well, and since this rat whisker could sit in the position of the shopkeeper, he must be knowledgeable, and he was not afraid that he would not pay a high price. Therefore, there is a bit of self-confidence on his face.
Unexpectedly, the rat's eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled dryly: "This minister, what you wrote in the book is good, the small shop is kind, and the money for a thousand words and eight cents, or not, I will count you as a thousand words and ten cents!" ”
What the? Ten words in a thousand words? Treat Lao Tzu as a begging for food? 100,000 words of baby Ning can't be sold for a tael of silver?
Lian Zining thought that this rat whisker was also deliberately lowering the price, and couldn't help but secretly scold this businessman of the Ming Dynasty for sucking his fingers? He smiled, reached out and took the pieces of paper from the rat's hand, and arched his hand: "Farewell!" ”
After that, he turned around and left, he originally thought that this rat beard would definitely catch up with Yu Jingguan, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the door, there was still no movement. Lian Zining turned around, looked at Rat Whisker, saw Rat Whisker sneering, the treacherous light in his eyes flashed, and when he saw Lian Zining's eyes, he quickly shifted his gaze.
Problematic! Lian Zining immediately realized that something was wrong in his heart, but he was afraid that it was not as simple as lowering the price, this rat whisker clearly wanted to let him leave quickly! As the shopkeeper of the bookstore, why didn't he think about the bookstore and push out a book that clearly sold well? He thought in his heart, and after thinking back and forth in the future, he was also grateful to his thoughtfulness, and he actually guessed a few points.
His own words were only said to Cheng Yu's girl, how could Yu Jingguan know about Fei Lengcui? Even if Cheng Yu said it, he would only say it in Aunt Wang'er's shop, and he suddenly thought that it seemed that listening to Cheng Yu's improvement, Aunt Wang'er's man was the second shopkeeper of Ji Yazhai.
A clear smile appeared on the corner of Lian Zining's mouth, Cheng Yu said to Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang told her husband, and his husband, who was the one in front of him, was leaked to Yu Jingguan, as for why he, as the second shopkeeper of Ji Ya Zhai, told Ji Ya Zhai's rival Yu Jing Guan, there is only one explanation!
Commercial undercover. Lian Zining thought of the word.
The foot he had already stepped out of at this time was retracted, and he turned around, with a long expression on his face.
I discovered the secret of the rat whiskers, and if I used it well, I could make a lot of money!
I have to say that Lian Zining is indeed thoughtful, and this guess is not far from ten. Rat Whisker is naturally a knowledgeable person, as soon as he looks at his book, he knows that this person must be Lian Zining, the elder brother of Lian Chengyu, and he takes a closer look at this book, and he knows that it will definitely be a big sale. Listening to the description, how can it be compared with what he reads, he is also a book lover, and when he saw this manuscript, his eyes almost couldn't be pulled out, and he just wanted to instinctively give a high price, but after thinking about it, if he bought this manuscript for Ji Yaxuan, then let his secret boss Yu Jingguan go and the northwest wind?
