Chapter 25: Selling at a High Price

When the scholar heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he turned his head and asked Zhang Rishan: "Shopkeeper Zhang, what do you say?" ”

"I ......" Zhang Rishan only felt bitter in his mouth. He was reluctant to pay such a high price to buy a book, but he was reluctant to give up such an opportunity to make money. He rolled his eyes and said to Du Jinning: "Your book is written well at the beginning, but how do I know if it will collapse later?" I'll have to look at the back before I can give you the silver. ”

Before Du Jinning could speak, Wang Yao said on the side: "This little brother, don't listen to him." He was the most untrustworthy of all. If you had shown him all the scripts, and he would have only said that it was too expensive to buy them, and that he had written down the plot and written it himself when he returned, you would not have been able to sell it. ”

Zhang Rishan was so angry that he vomited blood, and said angrily: "Old man Wang, you yourself are such a person, don't think of others as dirty." I, Zhang Rishan, have always been honest and honest, and the business of the bookstore will get better and better. It's like you, opportunistic, cheating, so everyone doesn't go to your bookstore to buy books. ”

Wang Yao originally came to muddy the waters, but when he saw Zhang Rishan taking the move, he was right in the middle, and said a few provocative words, which caused Zhang Rishan to quarrel with me every word.

Du Jinning looked at the scholar: "Son, do you still want this book?" ”

"Yes, yes." The scholar was not short of money, and he was deeply attracted by the book, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Rishan at this time, and took out two taels of silver to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning handed him all the manuscripts, and asked: "If there is another such book, I don't know if the son wants it?" ”

The scholar's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly; "Yes, yes. However, it needs to be as well written as this one. ”

"That's nature." Du Jinning smiled, "I don't know what to call the son, where will I go to find the son then?" ”

"There is a house in the big locust tree in the east of the city, you will know it as soon as you ask. I am the seventh young master of the Guan family. ”

"Mother, let's go home." Du Jinning stuffed the silver into his arms, beckoned Chen and walked out.

Zhang Rishan looked anxious, and grabbed Du Jinning's arm: "Hey, why did you sell him the script?" ”

Du Jinning rolled his eyes: "If you don't want it, of course I'll sell it to others." With a flick of his arm, he pulled Chen and left.

Chen also wanted to turn around and thank Zhang Hongwen, Du Jinning hurriedly whispered: "Don't talk to Brother Zhang, otherwise his classmates will definitely have an opinion of him." ”

Chen hurriedly stopped his mouth, and was worried that Du Jinning's two taels of silver had attracted a thief, so he walked quickly, looking around as he walked.

Du Jinning originally wanted to read the books written by others in the bookstore, and buy a little paper by the way. But the ancient legal system was not perfect, there were many gangsters and thieves on the street, she made money and exposed her wealth in public, and the two were women and children, so it was really unsafe. Fortunately, on the way here, she saw a carriage and horse dealer, hired a mule cart in the past, picked a loyal coachman, and directly asked him to send them back to Peach Blossom Village.

"This ...... That's too expensive, right? Let's stop sitting and walk back, shall we? If you can't walk, your mother will carry you. ”

When Chen heard that the fare cost 20 yuan, he was very distressed. Thinking that Du Jinning was sick, she knelt on the ground and begged Niu's for a long time, but Niu's was reluctant to pay a penny, and finally Du Fangfei agreed to the marriage, and Niu's invited Lang Zhong to come. In the end, it only cost a total of 35 yuan to see a doctor and take medicine. Thirty-five yuan ruined her daughter's life, how could she be willing to spend twenty yuan to take the car?

"Mother, don't worry, I will make more money in the future. The matter of the eldest sister will never happen again. Du Jinning also knew where Chen's heart knot, grabbed her hand, and promised seriously.

Chan also knew it wasn't safe to walk back like this. Although it is a blue sky and white day, the security of Lishui County is also good, but it is inevitable that the gangsters will steal chickens and touch dogs. Don't talk far, let's just say that Meng Qiang, who also did such a thing on the street back then, and later became a fool when he hurt his brain in a fight. As soon as she said that, she knew that she was not wise, and when Du Jinning said this, she felt sour in her heart and took the initiative to get on the mule cart.

It was different with a mule cart, and it took less than a meal for the two of them to return to the village.

"Stop, just go down here." Looking at the village from afar, Du Jinning asked the coachman to stop the car, came down with Chen, and settled the account.

Chen Shiyuan hadn't thought about it so much, and when he saw Du Jinning take out twenty copper coins and give them to the coachman, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Where did you get the money?" ”

The two taels of silver, she watched the scholar give it, and Du Jinning stuffed it into her arms. On the way, Du Jinning didn't go to Qianzhuang to change copper coins, why did he have copper coins to pay the fare?

"Uncle and grandfather gave it earlier." Du Jinning said, "Let's go." ”

Chen subconsciously followed her, surprised, and immediately deeply annoyed: she should have thought of this. If it weren't for the copper plate on Du Jinning's body, how would he pay for the car now? Didn't you bite a small piece of silver with your teeth to pay the bill? She is an adult in charge, but she is not thoughtful, and she is not as thoughtful as Du Jinning.

Seeing that Chen was silent, Du Jinning thought that she had an idea about the copper coin, and explained: "This money was given by my uncle when he gave me the book. He was also worried that we would encounter something urgent and had no money to save the emergency, so he gave us 100 wen for self-defense. Mother, don't worry, I will make money in the future, and the money will pass the bright road, and I will definitely honor my uncle and grandfather. Not to mention anything else, cut a few catties of meat and pull two pieces of cloth, and you can also return this favor. ”

If it had been before, the Chen family would still feel too much pressure to owe this hundred yuan, and with their current situation, they don't know when they will be able to pay it back. But just now, I saw Du Jinning selling scripts, and he easily made two taels of silver, and listening to the meaning of the scholar's words, as long as Du Jinning can write such a story again, he will buy it again, so isn't it difficult to make money? With money in hand, it would be much easier to repay Du Yinsheng's personal and monetary debts.

"But we can't let your grandfather and grandmother know about this money." Thinking of this, Chen's mood that had just been relieved became heavy again.

Speaking of this, Du Jinning also fell silent.

Her original plan was to quietly sell the script, and then no one would say anything about the money she earned, and then find a way to let the Du family split up, and then take out the money to tide over the difficulties. But just now in the county, I reluctantly sold the script in front of everyone, and let Zhang Hongwen from the same village see it, I am afraid it is not easy to hide this matter.

After weighing the pros and cons, she said, "I'll tell my uncle about it." Anyway, I said it at the time, I was helping my uncle and grandfather sell scripts. Even if my grandfather and grandmother know about this, they won't be able to do anything to me, at most, because you don't work and accompany me to the county to scold you, they don't have the right to ask my uncle and grandfather for money. And my uncle and grandfather, if they knew that I could write a script, they would not be happy enough to blame me. ”
