After the meal, Lu Manman was not pretentious, except for asking Gu Heng to sit beside her, she had nothing else to ask.

Under the gaze of the shopkeeper and others, Lu Manman began to talk about the beginning of the Dream of Red Mansions: "To open up Hongmeng, who is the love species?" It's all just for this wind and moon. It is said that when Nuwa mended the sky, she shared 36,500 spirit stones, and only one was left and discarded at the foot of Qinggang Peak. Many years later, the spirit stone is psychic, self-pity, compared with other spirit stones used to make up the sky, I feel that I am very useless, when I am grieving, a monk came from afar, talking about the glory and wealth of the world, and the stone moved my heart......"

As Lu Manman began to speak, there were more and more people around Lu Manman, including busy little guys and guests who entered the store to choose books, they all concentrated and stood quietly beside Lu Manman, and their hearts fluctuated up and down with the ups and downs of Lu Manman's voice.

End of two chapters.

Obviously, a long time has passed, but the shopkeeper feels that it is only a moment, and he can't listen to it at all: "Then what's next, can Jia Baoyu be that spirit stone?" ”

"Jia Yucun was dismissed for greedy money, can Father Lin help him reinstate the official he begged for?"

"Men are made of mud and women are made of water, although this doesn't sound very comfortable, but it seems to be the truth, girls cry at every turn, isn't it made of water?"

In addition to the shopkeeper's inquiry, Lu Manman found that there were still a lot of people around them, and she smiled: "Shopkeeper, you invited us to a sumptuous lunch at noon today, and I told you a story." If you don't think it's worth it and loses it, then I can give you this painting as a meal. ”

When Lu Manman handed the painting to the shopkeeper, he used his scheming to deliberately let the people around him see the painting.

"This painting is very meaningful."

"This poem in particular is so well written, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to write it."

"Girl, how much is a meal, I'll pay twenty taels for your painting, can I sell it to me?"

"Twenty taels ......" Lu Manman's heart moved, judging from the memory of the original owner, twenty taels was a lot of money, she suppressed the throbbing in her heart, looked at Gu Qin's family, and saw that Gu Qin's family was also very moved, she looked at Gu Heng again...... Forget it, there's nothing nice about a person with a blank face, she thinks about it herself.

"Twenty taels? I'm out of thirty taels! A man in Tsing Yi spoke, looking at Lu Manman with burning eyes: "Girl, I really want to know the follow-up story you just told, if you are willing to tell me, then I am willing to give me an extra hundred taels." ”

"Yes, I do!"

When Lu Manman heard this, he glanced at the man in Tsing Yi more, and then looked at the shopkeeper: "It seems that everyone likes good books, but how long will it take for me to tell the story alone?" There are many chapters in "Dream of Red Mansions". Wouldn't it be better if there were books to circulate to everyone? ”

"That's right." The man in Tsing Yi only felt empowered, and he hurriedly looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want to buy "Dream of Red Mansions". ”

"Shopkeeper, I'll buy it too."

"I'm going to buy it too."

……

Lu Manman stepped back, satisfied that the people who had listened to her story just now surrounded the shopkeeper.

Gu Heng's gaze had never left Lu Manman a long time ago, seeing the triumphant smile on her face, he felt that what he thought just now was true, Lu Manman definitely didn't mention those two books for no reason, let alone tell a story for no reason, she was premeditated.

Her premeditated plan is to sell books and stories.

Facts have proved that Gu Heng's guess was right.

After perfunctory a few sons who wanted to buy books, the shopkeeper invited Lu Manman upstairs, and originally wanted to chat with Lu Manman alone, but considering that she was a woman, he called Gu Heng's mother and son to accompany her.

"Girl, we Mingren don't say secret words, the story of Dream of Red Mansions is very good, can you sell us this story?" The shopkeeper looked at Lu Manmandao.

Lu Manman nodded, seeing that the shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, she also smiled: "How are you going to give the price?" ”

"The girl made an offer." The shopkeeper heard Lu Manman's answer, and instantly figured out Lu Manman's intention to tell the story, this girl, I'm afraid she has already made up her mind to sell this story to him.

Lu Manman stretched out three fingers.

"Three hundred taels?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded after a short groan: "Yes." ”

When Gu Qin's family heard the shopkeeper say that three hundred taels was okay, she almost didn't sit still, her obedient, how much is three hundred taels, she has never seen three hundred taels in her life.

Lu Manman shook his head.

The shopkeeper's eyebrows moved: "If it's three thousand taels, the price is too high." ”

Three thousand taels? Gu Qin's hand trembled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, in fact, three hundred taels was already a lot. She wanted to speak, but seeing Lu Manman's calm expression, she suppressed the urge to speak, after all, this was Lu Manman's own business, she didn't want to put her beak too much, she only stared at Lu Manman for a moment, for fear that she would make the wrong choice.

Lu Manman looked at the shopkeeper, his face was full of confidence and calmness: "I don't want three thousand taels either." ”

"If it's 30,000 taels, the girl will be greedy." The shopkeeper restrained the emotions on his face.

Lu Manman shook his head and said directly: "I don't ask for silver directly, what I want is 30% of the profit of your Zhiyuan Bookstore's "Dream of Red Mansions". ”

"Thirty percent of the profits?" The shopkeeper's body moved, and he saw Lu Manman's seriousness: "The girl is so confident? ”

She is confident in "Dream of Red Mansions"! If the things left by the ancestors are not good, can they withstand the test of time?

"Dream of Red Mansions is a good book, since it is a good book, then there will be people who like to read it, and keep reading it, read it repeatedly, and in addition to our county, other counties, even provincial towns, and Beijing, maybe some people will like it." Lu Manman didn't continue, she believed that the shopkeeper was a smart person and knew what she meant.

The shopkeeper heard Lu Manman's voice, although he had only listened to two chapters of "Dream of Red Mansions", but the content in it was endlessly memorable, maybe relying on this book, they Zhiyuan Bookstore would completely make a sound, and I am afraid that it will be a leader in the bookstore industry in the future: "I will discuss this matter with the owner, and wait for the owner to decide." ”

"Yes, but you can't delay me too long."

"Understand, within seven days, I will give an answer to the girl."

"Okay." Lu Man got up.

"Girl, this is thirty-five taels of silver, can you sell your paintings to you?" The shopkeeper took out the silver and handed it to Lu Manman with both hands.

Lu Manman glanced at the silver in the shopkeeper's hand, she is very short of money now, and it is really difficult to refuse money, but she has principles: "Didn't I say before that I would give you the painting to cover the cost of the meal?" Naturally, I speak my mind. ”

"This ......"

Lu Manman handed the painting of "Funeral Flower Yin" to the shopkeeper, and then took the bamboo tube from Gu Heng's hand: "I also have a small poem here, the shopkeeper will help you see how much it is worth." ”

The shopkeeper put away the "Funeral Flower Yin", although he felt embarrassed to take it for nothing, but in the end he couldn't resist, and at the same time, he also wanted his owner to see the painting. It was because he hurried to look at the painting in Lu Manman's hand, thinking that he could bid higher.
