Shuxiang Pavilion and Boya Pavilion are old competitors, and in the past few years, they have always wanted to completely squeeze each other out, so that their own bookstore can monopolize the most prosperous street in the county. Now that Zhang Rishan's Boya Pavilion has the upper hand, and there are many customers in the store, it is not good for him to stand at the door of the store and quarrel with this idle and panicked old opponent, which is too disproportionate, which makes the scholars in the store disgusted, so he choked on Wang Yao, then Mingjin withdrew his troops, turned around and prepared to go back to his bookstore.

"Ahh Zhang Hongwen suddenly exclaimed, raised his head, looked at Du Jinning with very eager eyes, stepped forward and asked, "This little brother, how much do you plan to sell this book?" Can you sell it to me? Where is the rest, can you show me first? ”

Zhang Rishan's footsteps paused, and he turned his head to look at the pages in Zhang Hongwen's hand.

At first, Du Jinning said that her words were good, but he didn't care. Du Jinning is too young, and Chen is a woman, even if someone wants to ask someone to sell the book, he should not trust such two people who are not very literate and have little knowledge, so it can be seen that the book is not known where these two people picked it up. Because of this, when Du Jinning asked him to read the script, he didn't bother to read it at all. Wang Yao said that, if this is really not good, it is only worth one or two hundred dollars, then he has to make a face for Wang Yao and soften himself? At this time, he heard that there was a scholar who talked about a good book, and he even wanted to pay for it, so he thought he could take a look.

But before he could ask Zhang Hongwen for the papers, a scholar next to him reached over and took the papers: "Show me." Some scholars who were familiar with him also came over, and everyone looked at the script.

The corners of Zhang Hongwen's mouth curled, and he glanced at Du Jinning suggestively.

Du Jinning naturally knew that Zhang Hongwen was helping her, so she hurriedly took out the rest from her arms, but did not hand it to Zhang Hongwen, only raised it in the air, and said: "Brother Tai is just the beginning, and the wonderful is still to come." ”

She didn't answer the question of price.

She wanted to wander around the bookstore, ask the price of those scripts, and then set a price for her own scripts, but who knew that the snobbish shopkeeper and Xiao Er didn't let her in at all. She really has no idea about the price of this ancient script, if the price is low, wouldn't it be a big loss? Anyway, some people are watching this beginning now, and when they finish reading it, they will consider it at a price.

Zhang Hongwen saw the manuscript in her hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although his father is Lizheng, his family background is not much stronger than the Du family, there are only twenty or thirty acres of land, and it is not easy to send him to study, and he has no spare money to buy a book. Usually when I am tired of studying, I want to have fun, but I just borrow my classmates to come and see. The reason why he asked the price was to make a trust for Du Jinning and help her. But he didn't want to read the beginning, he couldn't help but want to read it, and he had the urge to buy this book.

"This ...... You have to buy it to see it, right? He asked.

Du Jinning nodded; "It's nature." Worried that Zhang Hongwen would misunderstand, she winked at Zhang Hongwen twice.

Zhang Hongwen was very surprised. This little fourth brother of the Du family, he also met a few times when he went to the Du family for the New Year's holidays, and she usually looked at her always cowering aside, taciturn, and seemed to be very timid. But today's words and deeds are really different from his usual behavior, bold, and clever, much stronger than ordinary children, it can be seen that she is clumsy at home.

His eyes fell on the manuscripts held by the scholars, and the doubts and surprises in his heart increased a little.

"Okay, that's so well written." Now that the scholars had finished reading the manuscript, they raised their heads and shouted loudly.

"Little brother, how do you sell this?" The scholar who first asked Du Jinning for the manuscript asked.

"This ...... I don't know how many are appropriate. Du Jinning was embarrassed, "This is the first time I've come to sell." ”

"A tael of silver, okay?" The scholar said.

Chen was overjoyed when she heard this, but she didn't dare to speak out, for fear of ruining Du Jinning's calculations, so she only stared at Du Jinning with her eyes.

"This ......" Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, showing an embarrassed expression.

"On weekdays, we buy books in the bookstore, all of which are five or six hundred texts, and I will give you one or two pieces of silver, which has doubled, which is sincere enough." The scholar was a little dissatisfied.

Originally, Zhang Rishan looked at the scholars who leaned their heads to read the pages of manuscripts, and they read them with relish, so he couldn't help but go up and take a look, and he couldn't take his eyes off this look. At this time, seeing the scholar bidding one or two, Du Jinning seemed to be a little moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wait, I'll give this little brother one or two or five dollars of silver." ”

As he spoke, he bowed his hand to the scholar who had made the bid, and said with a smile: "This son, when I print out the script, you can buy it for only five or six hundred yuan." And the book is printed out for everyone to enjoy, and all the sons who like the book will also be grateful. ”

Speaking of which, the scholar is not easy to bid again. He handed the manuscript to Zhang Rishan; "Okay then." There was still some reluctance in his expression.

"Wait." Du Jinning stretched out his hand and took the manuscript in his hand, "This was originally sold by my uncle and grandfather." His old man said that he would not sell it without two taels of silver. He bowed his hand to Zhang Rishan very sincerely, "It's not that I want to raise the price, but I actually wrote this book, and my uncle and grandfather spent a lot of effort." The selling price is low, and it is difficult for me to explain to his old man when I go back. ”

As he spoke, he said to the scholar again: "If the son can give two taels of silver, this book will be yours." ”

Although the scholar was wearing a stone blue Confucian costume like other scholars, if you look closely, you will find that although the clothes on his body are close to the muslin cloth and not as shiny as satin, there is a very soft light on the surface of the fabric, which shows that the textile process of the fabric is very unusual. The jade pendant hanging from his waist is even more crystal clear and has a good texture. Du Jinning knew at a glance that this was a low-key local tyrant, not bad for money. I want to spend two taels of silver to buy a book I like, which is not a problem for him.

In fact, she originally wanted to sell the book to the bookstore shopkeeper, even if the price was lower. After all, she can't just write one, there are countless stories in her stomach to write out and exchange for money, it doesn't matter if the price of the first or second books is lower, the reputation is out, and the price behind it can naturally be raised.

But neither Wang Yao nor Zhang Rishan is a kind person. Wang Yao didn't say anything, Zhang Rishan kidnapped this scholar morally, and asked him to stop competing with him for scripts, but it was her Du Jinning's interests that were harmed, and Zhang Rishan said it in front of her, and said it so confidently that he didn't take her in his eyes at all, which really made her angry. If she lets Zhang Rishan do this, Zhang Rishan will think that she is easy to bully, and she will only push the price even lower in the future. Anyway, it's selling scripts, how can it be sold or not? The silver is the right thing to do.
