Chapter 105: Wonderful White Prince
"Old Zhang is so happy, happy to add a grandson?"
"It's early, it's a bookstore...... The first engraved version of Su Da Writer's Lyrics Collection was sold to me! ”
"Expensive, right?"
"It's cheap, fifty taels."
Fifty taels is indeed not expensive compared to the old man's monthly salary, but the first carved book is sold at this price...... Half of the son of the Bai family has squeezed into the ranks of losers.
There are many people who are happy, and there are naturally many people who are worried.
The pot-bellied businessman, you pushed me and squeezed the bookcase in the library cabinet, tiptoed and reached out to take down a book casually, laughed and squeezed out the door, Bai Gongzi sat cross-legged in the circle chair, holding a pen and writing and painting with empty eyes, and said without raising his head:
"Five hundred taels!"
The merchant didn't expect it to be so good and cheap, and he was a little worried about whether it was a fake, so he asked more: "Bai Gongzi, please take a look, this is the first book?" ”
"Of course it is." Bai Gongzi shook the scriptures selected by the merchant in front of everyone and returned them to him, "Take it home and treasure it for a few more years, and this Gongzi guarantees that you can rely on it to sit on the ground and raise the price!" Full of confidence.
"Oh yo, then I'll treasure it for a few more years." The merchant paid five hundred taels of silver and left happily with the scriptures, Huitong Bookstore is really a fine book, five hundred taels is really worth!
The Bai family is about to collapse...... But what do you do to the people, the sky makes rain, the people do the woe, and you can't blame others for provoking yourself.
Compared with the bustle of the front yard of the bookstore, the back house was a little deserted, and the white clerk curled up in the chaise longue covered with fox skins and took the medicine bowl handed by Mrs. Bai, "How much did it sell?" ”
The medicine in the bowl was not delivered to his mouth for a long time, and a light smoke wafted in the conservatory.
The manager didn't dare to say more, and after thinking for a long time, he came up with a compromise number, "Half." ”
Half of the scriptures were sold at a low price within two hours, and it was half a year's amount before that, who doesn't like good and cheap things?
Bai Yuanwai smacked the decoction and frowned.
"Bitter!"
The chief manager replied impartially: "Childe seems to be in a beautiful mood. ”
"Isn't it beautiful, it's easy to have the opportunity to drastically transform the family business established by his father." Madame Bai grabbed Bai Yuanwai's claws and forced the medicine bowl to his mouth, poured in a mouthful of bitter medicine and stuffed a candied fruit into it. "I don't know what the third sister taught him, there is no ......"
Recklessness is particularly worrying.
"The next time I send the medicine to hide it, you can smell the medicine from afar, and Yun'er's dog nose is the most smart." The white clerk muttered a sip of black juice.
The children in the capital bowed on the side of the street, singing "Mai Qingqing" in their mouths, and Mr. Teaching shouted with both hands that they were not allowed to sing again, laughing high and low and shaking their tiptoes back.
Many officials disguised themselves and brought their scholars into the bookstore, and for a time there was a great trend of reading in the capital, and the stall owners selling wontons on the street were holding books and laughing happily, and from time to time they talked to the guests.
In the school, the children who shook their heads and looked at the sky and recited scriptures hid a book of embroidered images under the table, and after the gentleman wiped it over his shoulder with a ring ruler, many pairs of eyes quickly lowered his glance, raised his head and opened his mouth to read along.
Three arrows set Tianshan, what a big hero! I really want to read the rest of the story......
The piano score is like a snowflake through the hands of the seller to the hands of the brothers-in-law in the boudoir, and the long-term seller takes advantage of the fact that the ladies are not paying attention, and gives the sisters some romance books to pass the time, and the smile is mixed with expectation and a little pitiful, and the maid who serves the sisters is not aware of it.
It's just that the business of selling books has not been done in the military department Shangshu Li Chongshan's mansion, the three large study rooms of the Li Mansion with five shelves are lined with bookcases and changeable shapes, and the curved upright overlapping ones are all made of leaf red sandalwood.
The steward of the Li Mansion knocked on the door and led in a person who could not be seen, this person was in a strong figure and could not make a little wave in the sea of people, if there was a piercing place, only the black veil covering his head.
Li Chongshan held the first engraved copy of Su Wenhao's collection of words in his hand and leaned back on the back of the chair defenselessly, and asked lightly: "Don't you see anything wrong?" ”
The black face clenched his fists and blamed himself for his incompetence, and said another thing he discovered: "While Bai Gongzi is selling books, he seems to be buying books from various prefectures and counties. ”
"What book is worth his trouble?" Li Chongshan didn't believe that the son of the Bai family would be a serious businessman, so he adjusted his posture and looked at the black face lightly, but saw that he hesitated slightly, "? ”
Black Face coughed dryly, "Not really, he bought the spring ...... Drawing a picture of bare shoulders and bare legs and feet. ”
"Hahahaha."
After laughing, Li Chongshan regained his composure, "The official suddenly wanted to know how Bai Hetang would react when he heard the news, Bai Hetang was sick, is it true?" ”
The black face said that he would report what he saw and heard in the back house of the bookstore one by one.
"Don't be afraid of old age." Li Chongshan put down the collection of words, took out two pieces of coptis and pressed them under his tongue, and the sleepiness that came from him was immediately suppressed, "Tell the officials of all prefectures and counties not to embarrass Bai Gongzi's acquisition plan, and when he opens the market again, he will be seized in one fell swoop." ”
Spring Palace, too.
……
Wen'er and Rabbit Yue hid under the tree and leaned on the stone table with their chin propped up to read, without making a sound...... A jet-black ant scrambled around the black letters with its long tentacles.
"The year is cold and then the pine and cypress ......"
The low whisper is gentle and quiet through the flower wall, penetrating in and out of the ears of the two maids, without stopping.
Holding a book in his left hand to recite and reciting it, and holding a pen in his right hand to check an account book, Xu Yuan asked from Mrs. Xu for the rental income of several Zhuangzi in previous years.
"When will your son-in-law leave?" Wen'er knocked on the table and asked the guy on the other side of the flower wall, "We are not a hospital for patients!" ”
Tuyue dialed Wen'er's hairpin, "Sister Wen'er, don't be so fierce to Brother Jinting." ”
Brother Jinting, it's really sour...... Wen'er snorted.
Xu Yuan, a patient who had contracted two wind-chills after the autumn, was lying weakly on the Luohan bed at this time, holding the scriptures in his hands and reading them silently, his eyes suddenly clear and blurred.
"Don't be reckless when you're sick." Ruan Miaoling wanted to take the book from Xu Yuan's hand.
Xu Yuan woke up when he heard the voice, "The young man has worked hard all his life, don't be lazy and lazy, and if you don't burn incense in the spring, you will get the name of Luosun Mountain." Dodge Ruan Miaoling's outstretched hand.
He worked so hard, Ruan Miaoling naturally liked to hear it, seeing that he was much more energetic than yesterday, he asked curiously: "What did you dream about when you dreamed, look at your appearance at that time, it seems that you are very frightened." ”
She didn't mention it, Xu Yuan couldn't remember it, so the scene in the dream came up vividly, and the slippery and sticky feeling suddenly hit him and made him breathless.
"Lingling, let me ask you something...... If I fall off the list next year, I can't dissolve your marriage contract, do you want to continue?
