Jia Chen smiled:

"First, because in this era, there is no copyright law, piracy is rampant, and after this book is published, there will definitely be many people who copy it, and they are not willing to pay a high price to buy genuine books.

Second, it is because although this "Four Disciplines of Liaofan" is a strange book of virtue and self-cultivation, it has nothing to do with the imperial examination and cannot be used as a teaching material for the scientific examination.

Only those wealthy families who like to collect books will be willing to spend spare money to buy, so sales are bound to be limited.

Sales may be hot at first, but after a while, it is likely to enter a cooling period of dismal sales. ”

There is another reason, which Jia Chen did not say, that is, according to the original book, Shi Ding will be stripped of his title in the future because of a big mistake.

At that time, this partner was raided, and naturally it was no longer possible to distribute the sales profits to Jia Chen on a monthly basis according to the sharing agreement.

Therefore, Jia Chen could only sign a one-time buyout agreement with Shi Ding.

In fact, 30,000 taels of silver is a huge amount of money, and even if a sharing agreement is signed, the total profit of future sharing may not exceed this amount.

As the saying goes, this deal is definitely not a loss.

"I see, Brother Chen is really smart and wise!" Qingwen suddenly realized and admired.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qingwen went to open the courtyard door, and the person who came was a small servant.

The little servant understood his intentions and took his leave.

Qingwen returned to the house and reported to Jia Chen:

"Brother Chen, just now Master Zheng sent someone to report that Aunt Xue was leading a pair of children to Rongguo Mansion as a guest. Master Zheng wants to invite you to the Rong Mansion for a banquet and enjoy Lego together. ”

Jia Chen's eyes lit up, it turned out that Aunt Xue had brought Xue Baochai and Xue Pan here.

According to the age of the original book, Xue Baochai is one year older than herself, and she still has to call her "Sister Bao".

Jia Chen didn't feel awkward, after all, Xue Baochai was a dignified and atmospheric royal sister.

I don't know, what does Sister Bao look like?

Jia Chen rushed to Rongguo Mansion with curiosity.

However, he didn't see Xue Baochai, because the old relatives and relatives couldn't see outsiders casually.

I didn't see Sister Bao, but I saw Xue Pan.

Jia Chen's first impression was that this thing's head was really big.

No wonder people call it "Xue Tou".

The facial features are quite thoughtful, but he always raises his chin slightly, his nostrils are facing the sky, and he looks up at people with his face up, with an arrogant and rude and arrogant temperament.

If it was Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms, it would be nothing to look up at people, because he was a peerless tiger general and had proud capital.

But this stupid Xue Pan is a stupid pig at best, and if he looks at people with this kind of under-pumping posture, he will get into trouble sooner or later.

Jia Zhengduan sat on the main seat in the hall of Rongxi Hall, and when he saw Jia Chen striding in, he immediately smiled, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

Such a promising junior, how good would it be if he was his own son?

Jia Zheng greeted warmly:

"Chen'er, let me introduce you, this is Xue Pan, but my nephew. He's older than you, you should call him 'Brother Xue'. ”

Jia Chen bowed to Xue Pan: "Jia Chen has seen Brother Xue!" ”

Xue Pan sat on the Taishi chair next to him, put on a big brother's style, did not get up to return the salute, but raised his chin high, hugged his fists and saluted back:

"Brother Chen is polite!"

Jia Zheng glanced at him, a little unhappy in his heart.

In order to rob a maid named Xiangling in Jinling City, Xue Pan instigated the evil slave to beat people to death.

Jia Zheng and Wang Ziteng had no choice but to contact Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtianfu, who was trying the case, and asked him to bend the law for personal gain.

Jia Yucun sentenced Xue Pan to death by a ghost, and the death penalty was cancelled, so the matter was settled.

But I didn't expect that this nephew, who was arrogant and lascivious, and had no king's law, would even want to put on a posture of being high above and having no one in his eyes.

Jia Zheng wanted to teach Xue Pan a few words, but he was just his nephew, as the saying goes, "Nephew dog, nephew dog, eat and drink and take it away." "To count, he is just an outsider, and he is a distant guest, and it is difficult for him to reprimand.

Although Xue Pan can't be taught a lesson on the surface, it's still okay to let him sit on the cold bench.

Jia Zheng deliberately only chatted with Jia Chen to catch up with the old days, ignoring Xue Pan, even if Xue Pan took the initiative to find a topic, Jia Zheng only said a few perfunctory words, deliberately leaving him aside, making him feel uncomfortable.

Xue Pan was snubbed, his heart was depressed, and he didn't dare to attack Jia Zheng, so he wanted to vent his anger on Jia Chen.

He looked up at Jia Chen, and asked with a smile:

"When I was in Jinling, I only heard that there were Second Brother Lian, Brother Bao, Brother Cong and Brother Huan in Rongguo Mansion, but I don't know if Brother Chen is the son of the first room of Rongfu?"

Jia Chen heard that his words were not good, and said lightly:

"I am the sixth of the eight rooms in Beijing, the son of Jia Lao Liu."

Xue Pan sneered:

"It turned out to be a child of the side branch, and if you think you want to come, your family must be poor, so you often come to Rongfu to fight the autumn breeze, right?"

Jia Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and reprimanded:

"Pan'er must not be rude! Chen'er is a distinguished guest of the Rong Mansion, he usually concentrates on his studies, and he has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age.

And the poetry is outstanding, the martial arts are strong, it can be said that it is both civil and military, I am worried about disturbing his schoolwork on weekdays, today you are here, I invited him to come together with Legole, how to fight the autumn wind?

Chen'er also wrote a book of "Disciple Rules", last month alone, he earned more than 200 taels of silver, in the long run, he will be able to have a lot of money, and his family is very rich, why do you laugh at his poor family? ”

Actually, he hasn't finished his words yet, and what he didn't say later is not good:

"You are a declining son of an imperial merchant, and you dare to compare with our Jia family's promising Qilin'er, are you worthy?"

However, what Jia Zheng didn't know was that in fact, Jia Chen also wrote a book of "The Four Disciplines of Liaofan", and now he is not only full of money, but already has more than 30,000 taels of money.

Xue Pan was taken aback, although he didn't know how to learn or write, he also knew how difficult it was to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics and compose lyrics.

Moreover, at a young age, Jia Chen is still strong in martial arts, and he can even write books and say that such a peerless talent that surpasses the elite is indeed commendable and proud.

Although he was a little impressed in his heart, Xue Pan was a temperamental, paranoid and arrogant person, he had always been domineering and domineering, but now he was suppressed by Jia Chen, and there was naturally jealousy in his heart.

His eyes rolled, he had evil thoughts in his heart, and smiled at Jia Chen:

"I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such an amazing talent, and after having lunch together, I invited Brother Chen to show his hand in the garden, so that Brother Fool could appreciate and appreciate Brother Chen's martial arts."

Jia Chen looked at him with evil eyes, and a wicked smile on the corner of his lips, as if he had no good intentions, but Jia Chen was full of guts, how could he be afraid of a stupid and incompetent stupid overlord?

"Okay, then I'll show my hands to Brother Xue." Jia Chen was full of promises, but he was secretly wary of Xue Pan's bad intentions.

Xue Pan excused himself to go out to the thatched house, but found his attendant outside the door, and told him to find a few more people, quietly dig a few big pits in the garden, spread branches and leaves on the mouth of the pits, and sprinkle some horse manure and dog feces in the traps.

After the arrangements were made, Xue Pan returned to the hall with a proud face, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jia Chen, as if he had seen his embarrassed appearance covered in.
