Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 64
The first thing is to find a profitable business. As for the capital, Su Yizhao glanced at the east, where there are rolling mountains.

"Hey? You little boy, forget it! Count your 30 taels!"

Seeing that Su Yizhao left without hesitation, the old man immediately called out behind him.

Su Yizhao didn't pay attention, just walked around the city slowly.

Seeing that Su Yizhao didn't turn his head back, the old man finally couldn't sit still, "Forget you ten taels of silver, ten taels will be enough, right? This is the lowest price. It's a real ancient book. You can't find this book anywhere. It's out of print!"

Su Yizhao turned his head to look at the old man, and stretched out five fingers.

"What? Five taels of silver? That won't work. This book is written by a side branch of the literary family of the Great Commandery. Do you know the literary family? A famous family in the Great Commandery..."

The old man chattered endlessly, but Su Yizhao shook his head.

"What five taels of silver? I'm talking about fifty taels of silver. If you sell it, I'll buy it. It's getting late, and I have to go back early."

Su Yizhao doesn't know any writers from the big county dynasty, it has nothing to do with her.

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "You little boy, you don't know what to do! How dare you only give fifty cents for such a book?"

Su Yizhao sighed, looked at the old man who was so angry that he was spitting, and said, "Then are you going to sell it or not?"

The old man pushed the book forward violently, and said angrily, "Here, take it!"

Only then did Su Yizhao turn back, and by the way, took out a one-cent silver coin from his bosom.

The old man took out the small scale next to it and weighed it. Then he felt relieved and went back with fifty copper coins.

Su Yizhao didn't feel curious when she saw Yuerong call Yinzi, but such a small name for Yinzi is not something ordinary people can have.

She took a look at the old man, with gray sideburns, gray beard and slightly scattered hair, looking a little depressed.

There are deep horizontal lines on his forehead, which looks very vicissitudes, but his eyes are very clear.

Su Yizhao took another look at the other books on his stall, including recycled old books and brand new Four Books and Five Classics.

Suddenly found a small book in the corner with a blue cover.

Su Yizhao was a little curious, she picked it up casually, opened it and read it.

What caught the eye was a few figure paintings with a short paragraph of text underneath.

This ancient painting pays most attention to the artistic conception, and some paintings are very abstract.This character is not very well drawn, but it is very similar to the comic strips in the previous life.

Just when Su Yizhao wanted to check the details carefully, he didn't want a big rough hand to snatch it away.

"You don't read this book, you kid, go back as soon as you buy it! There are a lot of photos on the street, you kid is skinny and tender, and I will definitely put you in a sack when you meet something."

The old man took a look at the sky and planned to close the stall.

"Oh! I sold two copies at a loss today!"

Su Yizhao was a little surprised. He thought this old man was fooling people with his mouth, but he turned out to be a person with a cold face and a warm heart.

"Is this a little book? Why can't I read it?" Su Yizhao asked curiously.

"This is not a book for a little man. It's just that someone drew a story about a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman and put it here for consignment. You are too young to read these things." The old man packed his things and replied without raising his head.

Su Yizhao took a look at it just now, and found that the figure painting was very abstract, more like it was sketched casually.

The author's ability to narrate the story is not very good. Although Su Yizhao has never seen other scripts, the beginning of this story is very old-fashioned.

"Once upon a time there was a scholar..." This is the first sentence at the beginning. Su Yizhao can imagine many scriptures, and this is the first sentence at the beginning.

"Are you still taking the script?" Su Yizhao simply didn't leave, and started chatting with the old man.

"What? Are you interested? Then when the book comes, you can choose something that suits you. Come and buy it once every five days, about [-] yuan a piece!" The old man thought he was here for business, so he was a little enthusiastic and authentic.

"Just this little book, does it cost twenty cents?" Su Yizhao pointed to the book.

"If you're a regular customer, I'll give you two cents cheaper. People put it on consignment here, and I don't earn you a lot of copper coins, and they get it." The old man sighed, life is so difficult!

Seeing the old man looking over, Su Yizhao immediately moved closer.

"Old man! Actually, I have a brother..."

As the sun set, the orange-red light seemed to dye the front of the wine shop into silver-red.

"What? That won't work, you have to make some money for me?" The old man's voice suddenly increased, and then he shook his head violently.

"You don't know, my senior brother is not only thin-skinned, but also has the nobleness of a scholar, and he is also stubborn. Usually, I am willing to help a little bit, but this is not a long-term solution!"

As Su Yizhao was talking, he pulled up the old man's sleeves and continued: "At first he disdained to do this job, but his family is poor and his widow mother is seriously ill, otherwise he would definitely not agree to this."

"But you are too greedy if you ask for [-]%. I can still make a profit?" The old man shook his head with a sad face, but his eyes were shining brightly.

"Don't worry, you have to earn a lot of money. I have read the book written by my senior brother, and it can't be compared with it. If you agree, then it will be settled. When he finishes writing, I will Show it to you first."

Su Yizhao said with a sure face, the old man thought to wait until he read the script.

"At that time, it will not only sell for [-] yuan, you just wait! But let's agree, you can't increase the price at will, otherwise we will terminate the cooperation."

The old man nodded and agreed, "Success! But you don't need to go back and discuss this matter with him?"

Su Yizhao waved his hand, sighed, and said, "No, my senior brother said that this is an insult to his scholar's face, and I will handle it! Helping him is better than starving to death, right?"

The old man took a deep look at Su Yizhao, "You are kind!"

I believe you are a ghost!The old man snorted coldly in his heart!

The two agreed on a date for the first exchange of notebooks, and Su Yizhao left for home.

But as soon as he went to the main room to say hello, he heard the cheap old man who hadn't met in half a month talking in the room.

"You said that our fourth bedroom has been relying on your dowry to make a living. Now that you give those shops to help your mother's family, I have no complaints. Why do you complain about me instead?"

The man's angry voice sounded vaguely, and Su Yizhao, who was waiting outside the door to greet him, immediately pricked up his ears.

"Our fourth room doesn't have much income, and if we give those two shops away, our fourth room's income will be reduced by half. The master doesn't get involved in common affairs, so how do you know the difficulties of being a concubine?"

The woman's voice was trembling, as if she was trying to suppress the anger in her heart.

"So what if it's less than half? We have a father-in-law Yueyin in the four rooms, so we can live on the same way, so you don't have to talk about these things." Su Wenqing said indifferently.

Su Yizhao heard that the two people should be arguing about money, and it turned out that this family of officials also worried about money.
