Chapter 207: Xianggong is just a subordinate?
"University" has been printed, and they are all sold, and the 'four books' of the Four Books and the Five Classics are all printed, and the 'Five Classics' Ji Sandao They haven't carved a single one, and they can't print it for the time being.
These four books will be printed for the time being.
Because the paper and ink at home were about to run out, the next day, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai took these books to the town to sell, and came back by the way to buy paper and ink.
Because these books were thicker than the "University", especially the "Mencius" with more than 34,000 words, which was almost 19 times thicker than the "University", a horse-drawn carriage could not pull it at all, so two ox carts from a nearby village were hired to help pull the books to the town.
The small bookstore couldn't digest so many books at all, so I went to the largest bookstore in town.
The shopkeeper of the bookstore was already quite familiar with them, and he was very surprised to see so many books: "How many people have you hired to copy books, and why have so many books come out so quickly?" ”
Ye Guoguo was held by her husband with a small meat hand, and the other little meat hand scratched her little head, and said with a smile: "I didn't hire many people." Uncle Shopkeeper, look at these books......"
The bookstore also hired someone to copy books, even if Ye Guoguo didn't answer how many people he hired, but the shopkeeper himself secretly wondered how many people he had hired.
I was extremely surprised that this peasant couple dared to hire so many people, and their owners did not dare to hire so many people.
He smiled and said, "You also came to sell books last time, so let's not bargain, let's make a price, so that you won't lose money, and we won't make any money." ”
After that, he quoted a price for each book.
The price was a little more than Ye Guoguo's expectation, and Ye Guoguo agreed, so many books, and finally sold nearly four hundred taels.
First unload the books from the two ox carts, and when they are finished, the two ox carts are gone.
Unload the books on the wagon again......
The shopkeeper stood aside and watched the guys unload the books, glanced at the two ox carts in the distance, and then looked at Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai, and said with a smile: "If the two of you have books in the future, even if someone comes to inform us, if we want to, we can send someone to collect it directly." ”
Convenience for others is also convenience for oneself.
"Thank you." Ji Jingbai thanked him.
Ye Guoguo raised his little head and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, my husband and I still have to buy paper and ink......
The shopkeeper immediately closed his mouth happily: "Just say as much as you want, we can send someone to send it." That being said, it shows that he didn't believe that she only bought a little.
Then, Ye Guoguo bought 200 taels of paper, 100 taels of ink, 10 taels of book covers, 10 taels of binding threads and other things from the bookstore.
calculated, the money from this trip was only a few dozen taels spent in the end.
Before Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai left the bookstore, the shopkeeper also said: "If you need paper and ink and other things in the future, you can also let them come personally, and we can also send them directly, so you don't always need to come and run in person." ”
"Thank you."
Ji Jingbai thanked him again, and then led his little daughter-in-law out of the bookstore, got into the carriage, and went home.
Not long after leaving the town, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, and I was still in a hurry, Ye Guoguo was sitting in the carriage happily shaking her two short legs, so she subconsciously looked back.
As soon as she saw a horse galloping towards her, and there was a baby-faced man who had passed by her husband twice before, pretending to be a stranger, and she looked at her husband with a complicated expression.
Xianggong seems to be just this one subordinate......
Otherwise, she wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, and she was always the same person......
Ji Jingbai didn't look back, and when he saw his little daughter-in-law's complicated expression, he wanted to look behind in puzzlement, but the horse had already come to him and blocked the way.
I saw the secret guard, Wei San, quickly got off the horse, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, General Ruan has an accident." ”
