Chapter 26： The tolerance of a scholar!

"Okay, what a book of "Journey to the West", it is really a whimsical idea. It has never been published before. Brother Zheng opened my eyes to me today!" Gu Zhilun made no secret of his draft of this book. Appreciation.

Lu Zheng had finished reading the book at this time. He sat down in the chair again, picked up the teacup and sipped tea, saying:

"Uncle Shi, my nephew didn't lie to you? The book "Journey to the West" really exists. I worked a lot and found the manuscript. I came here today to let Uncle Shi go through it, which proves that I didn't say it before. False words!"

"Ying'er, receive the manuscript! Oh, it's not early today! It's already past noon!" Lu Zheng said in surprise.

Suddenly he stood up and beat his chest and feet: "Because he is greedy to read, he missed the time, it's really..."

Yinger had put the box away, and Lu Zheng saluted Gu Zhilun, "Gu Shishu, I am too greedy to read today. I missed the hour. My nephew still has homework in the afternoon and dare not delay, so I will go back first and visit again someday. !"

Lu Zheng stood up and said goodbye, Gu Zhilun was stunned.

How is this going? Is Lu Zheng gone now?

He really asked himself to read the manuscript when he came over, and then left as soon as he said, nothing else?

At first, Gu Zhilun thought that Lu Zheng had encountered great difficulties in Zhang's family, and he was desperate to ask him for help. After seeing the manuscript, he calculated in his heart that he dared to believe that Lu Zheng came to sell the manuscript. The manuscript of "Journey to the West" is indeed too powerful.

Gu Zhilun has been a bookseller for half his life. He knew at the first glance that this manuscript was a rare opportunity to make money. If "Journey to the West" could be sold by his Hengwu Bookstore, he would surely make a lot of money. .

As a businessman, he has already begun to figure out how this book should be operated, controlled, how to link together in the various state capitals of Nanzhili, how to build momentum, and finally this book will be sold to Luoyang paper expensive, and finally he has made a lot of money for Zhilun.

He thought again: "Lu Zheng, this kid, is in a predicament now, and he must be short of silver. He is short of silver and lack of backing. My price can't be too high. When I talk about the price later, I'm afraid I have to find someone to help. Do a few dramas, let him know how powerful, take a proper measure, and finally sell the manuscript willingly."

As a result, after Gu Zhilun was planning for a long time, Lu Zheng stood up and left. He was not here to ask him to do errands, nor was he to sell manuscripts, but as usual, he wandered around the bookstore and looked for Gu Zhilun. After a little chat, the two chatted and fart, and then went back again!

"It's impossible!" Gu Zhilun widened his eyes and stared at Lu Zheng's back. He had been in the mall for half his life. Who hadn't seen him? Human beings are so worldly, what else can he fail to see and see through?

He judged that Lu Zheng must be trying to catch him, he Gu Zhilun would wait for this?

Thinking of this, Gu Zhilun clenched his fist tightly. He tiptoedly followed behind. Lu Zheng never looked back from start to finish. The girl next to him was the same as in peace.

When he arrived at the bookstore, Yang Shitou greeted him with a smile on his face and talked to him. Lu Zheng nodded with a smile, and did not stay much, then the master and servants went out under Yang Shitou's farewell.

When Gu Zhilun saw Lu Zheng walk out the door, the palms of his hands were squeezed out of water.

Finally, he let out a long sigh of relief and instantly let go of his footsteps. People rushed out of the door like a whirlwind, shouting at Lu Zheng's back: "Brother Zheng, please stay!"

Lu Zheng turned his head slowly, and said with a puzzled look: "Uncle Shi, what...what else do you want?"

Gu Zhilun's face became hot, and he quickly greeted him and said, "Oh, I really feel sorry for my uncle today. It's because I was greedy for reading your manuscripts and missed your time, Brother Zheng. At this moment, it's exactly one hour in the afternoon, if Brother Zheng When I went back, I guessed it was past lunch hour.

You and my uncle and nephew hit it off right away, and we have known each other for so long, but have never had the opportunity to toast and have a drink. Today, it happened to have this opportunity. I will be an affair with Uncle, and we will talk in the Chunfeng Building next door! "

"Uh?"

Lu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and waved his hand again and again, "Where does this make it? It's absolutely not for uncle Shi to spend money!"

"Brother Zheng, are you looking down on your uncle? You have to listen to me today, don't be stunned by me. Yang Shitou, don't froze, Chunfeng Tower is waiting for you to give it to the shopkeeper He said he was going to go to the house, plus three catties of old daughter Hong..." Gu Zhilun is exquisite and good at socializing.

His arrangement could not tolerate Lu Zheng's resignation. Next, he set up a table in the Chunfeng Building next to Hengwu Bookstore. The two of them drank. Gu Zhilun wanted Lu Zheng's manuscript, and his attitude was naturally extreme. enthusiasm.

Yang Shitou gags on the sidelines. He is an exquisite person, and he quickly understands the meaning of his boss.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yang Shitou suddenly said, "Master Lu, don’t show the manuscript of Journey to the West easily. Don’t underestimate such a small box, it’s valuable! Let me put it this way, you. If the book is sold to us, our owner will definitely give you a satisfactory price that cannot be refused!"

"Sell?" Lu Zheng was taken aback, shook his head and said, "I have collected this manuscript with my hard work. Why do I sell it?"

"Uh..." Yang Shitou was speechless. He couldn't answer this question. He couldn't say that the other party was short of money, right?

Lu Zheng is usually generous, not like a person who lacks money. Is it great for your boss to be rich? Shao Lu doesn't sell it. He doesn't need those two dollars. Isn't that okay?

Lu Zheng seemed to drink a bit high, but Gu Zhilun's heart was like Mingjing. He hooked Lu Zheng's back and said, "Don't be familiar with this slave! Brother Zheng, let me put it this way. I like your manuscript. Up.

You and my uncle and nephew are in business, I want this book, don't worry, uncle will not lose you, I will give you one thousand taels of silver. Such a good book, Uncle hopes that it can be read by more book lovers, don’t you think? "

At the critical moment, Gu Zhilun finally couldn't help making a move. One thousand taels of silver was the price he had considered for a long time. This price was not high or low, and he had room for advance and retreat. If Lu Zheng is greedy, he can still rise a little bit.

If Lu Zheng agrees to this condition, everyone will be very happy. With his decades of business experience, he can make at least tens of thousands of dollars in the manuscript of "Journey to the West". If you know such a book, he has done it for half his life. Booksellers, I have never met before.

After he said these words, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and Yang Shitou beside him stared at Lu Zheng nervously.

Lu Zheng drank a glass of wine and yelled outside: "Ying'er, bring the book case in!"

Yinger obediently entered the door and placed the book box neatly in front of Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng pressed the book box with one hand and looked at Gu Zhilun, and said, "Uncle Shi, you just said you wanted this manuscript?"

Gu Zhilun "clicked" in his heart. He didn't understand what Lu Zheng meant, but when the matter was over, he could only bite the bullet and nod his head: "Yes, nephew, I am a book lover. Can't bear to let others get on the ground first..."

Lu Zheng patted the book case, and said with the spirit of wine: "Gu Shishu, I call you Shishu, why do you look down on me like this? Just now, the servant Yang Shitou asked me, and I said this manuscript is not for sale!

You gave me another thousand taels of silver. What does this mean? "

"Uh..." Gu Zhilun was speechless. He turned a lot of thoughts in his mind for a moment. Seeing Lu Zheng seemed to be really mad, he hurriedly said, "My nephew, don't be angry, the uncle is wrong, and I am wrong. No way?"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm just joking with you. I don't sell manuscripts, but since Uncle Shi has taken a fancy to it, this book case is yours! You and my uncle and nephew have a little thing like this. Son, why do you see it like this?

For me, this is just a matter of effort. Anyway, I have collected this thing and I have seen it. Putting it in my place will only make the pearl dusty. It is only in the hands of Uncle Shi that this book can be famous all over the world. Such elegant things, how can you talk to me about those gold and silver objects? "

"I'm going!" Gu Zhilun slipped and almost fell from the chair to the ground.

He was deliberate and deliberate all the time. After he saw Lu Zheng's manuscript, he was calculating how to keep the price down, how to let Lu Zheng know how good he was, and what strategy and Lu Zheng used.

Bargaining, finally forced Lu Zheng to submit.

He even thought of using a few people to act in a scene, and through some deceitful means, to give Lu Zheng some illusions, to make Lu Zheng mistakenly believe that Gu Zhilun can give him more help, so that Lu Zheng compromised.

In the end, all his tricks were useless, because Lu Zheng didn't need any money, so he sent it straight away. One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Ordinary people can spend one or two taels of silver in a month, and one thousand taels of silver cannot be earned by ordinary people in a lifetime!

Faced with such a huge sum of money, Lu Zheng didn't frown and turned away.

Gu Zhilun was shocked, and Yang Shitou's chin was about to fall. He is a layman, he is the kind who can't walk when he sees Qian Dao'er, and sees Lu Zheng facing a giant with a thousand dollars. The money, even directly refused, this is beyond his ability to understand.

After holding back for a long time, he finally suffocated a sentence: "Master Lu is really a scholar, he really loves books, he has a true temperament!"

When Yang Shitou said this, he also reminded Gu Zhilun that his old face was flushed with shame.

From beginning to end today, he has been trying to save the gentleman's heart with the heart of a villain. He was preconceived from the beginning, thinking that Lu Zheng wanted him when he came to the door. Later, he thought that Lu Zheng had taken the manuscript away, and he was always thinking about how to deal with Lu Zheng's possible moves.

To this end, he racked his brains and tried his best, but in the end, all his intentions were just that he was cautious. How magnanimous was Lu Zheng's heart? He doesn't have any twists and turns at all, he really thinks he is a fellow, Gu's uncle!

"Students! The pattern of temperament is different, and I am embarrassed!" Gu Zhilun secretly said in his heart, everything is inferior, only reading is high, how about Gu Zhilun even if his wealth is millions? Merchants are not enough to talk with Gao Shi.
