"Okay, what a book "Journey to the West", it's really wonderful and unveiled. Brother Zheng opened my eyes today!" Gu Zhilun did not hide his appreciation for this manuscript.

Lu Zheng finished reading the book at this time. He sat upright on the chair again, picked up the teacup and savored the tea carefully, and said:

"Uncle Shi, my nephew didn't lie to you, right? The book "Journey to the West" really exists. I spent a lot of effort to find the manuscript. Today I came here to let Uncle Shi read it, which proves that I didn't say anything false before!"

"Ying'er, get the manuscript ready! Oh, it's getting late today! It's already noon!" Lu Zheng said in surprise.

He suddenly stood up, beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Because I am greedy for reading books, I missed the time, it's really... "

Ying'er had already put away the box, and Lu Zheng bowed to Gu Zhilun and said, "Uncle Gu Shi, I'm too greedy for reading books today, I missed the time. My nephew had homework in the afternoon and didn't dare to delay it. I'll go back first and visit me another day!"

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

What's going on? Lu Zheng is leaving now?

He came over and asked himself to read the manuscript, and then left as soon as he said that, nothing else was going to do?

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

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

As a businessman, he had already begun to think about how this book should be operated and controlled, how to work together in the prefectures of southern Zhili, and how to build momentum. In the end, the book would be sold to Luoyang for expensive paper, and in the end he made a lot of money.

He thought again: "Lu Zheng is in a difficult situation now and is bound to lack money. He lacks money and a backer. My price cannot be too high. When talking about the price later, I may have to find someone to help him with a few plays so that he can know his awesomeness and grasp the measure, and finally willingly sell the manuscript."

As a result, after Gu Zhilun had been thinking for a long time, Lu Zheng stood up and said goodbye. He was neither here to ask him for business nor to sell manuscripts. He just walked around the bookstore as usual, chatted and chatted with Gu Zhilun, and then went back!

"This is impossible!" Gu Zhilun stared at Lu Zheng's back. He had been struggling in the mall for half his life. Who had never seen it? What else could he not see through or see through the world?

He judged that Lu Zheng must be a play to get, and that Gu Zhilun would be so fooled?

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Zhilun clenched his fists tightly, and he tiptoed behind him. Lu Zheng never looked back from beginning to end. The maids and servants around him were no different from usual.

When he arrived at the bookstore, Yang Shitou met him and spoke to him with a flattering smile. Lu Zheng nodded with a smile, but did not stop for a long time. Then the master and servant went out under Yang Shitou's farewell.

Gu Zhilun watched Lu Zheng walk out of the door, and water comes out of his palms.

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

Lu Zheng slowly turned around and said with a puzzled look: "Uncle Shi, what are you... what else do you have to give?"

Gu Zhilun's face turned hot and he hurriedly came out and said, "Oh, I really feel sorry for Uncle Shi today. It's because I've been greedy for your manuscript and missed your time. It happened to be noon at this time. If Brother Zheng went back, it would probably be the lunch time.

You and my uncle and nephew hit it off at first sight. They have known each other for so long but have never had the opportunity to raise their glasses to drink together. Today, I happen to have this opportunity. Uncle Shi, I am the host, and we will talk to you in the Chunfeng Tower next door!"

"Well?"

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Where does this make it? I will never let Uncle Shi spend money!"

"Brother Zheng, do you look down on your uncle? You have to listen to me today and don't argue with me. Yang Shitou, don't be standing there. Chunfenglou is waiting for him, and told the shopkeeper that he wanted to go to the room, plus three kilograms of old daughter Hong..." Gu Zhilun is versatile and good at socializing.

His arrangement could not allow Lu Zheng to refuse. Next, he set up a table in Chunfeng Tower next to Hengwu Bookstore. The two of them started drinking. Gu Zhilun wanted Lu Zheng's manuscript, and his attitude was naturally extremely enthusiastic.

Yang Shitou made jokes on the side. He was a versatile person and quickly understood and mastered his meaning.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yang Shitou suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, don't show your manuscript of "Journey to the West". Don't underestimate such a small box, it's valuable! Let me say that, if you sell this book to us, our boss will definitely give you a satisfactory price that you can't refuse!"

"Sell?" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have collected this manuscript from me hard, why should 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 generous on weekdays, not like a person who is short of money. Is your boss so rich? Young Master Lu doesn’t sell it, but he doesn’t need that two dollars. Isn’t that okay?

Lu Zheng seemed to be drinking a little high, but Gu Zhilun's heart was like a mirror. He hooked Lu Zheng's back and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as this slave! Brother Zheng, let's say that, I like your manuscript.

You and my uncle are in business, I want this book, don’t worry, I will give you a thousand taels of silver. Such a good book, I hope it can be read by more book lovers, don’t you think it is?"

At the critical moment, Gu Zhilun finally couldn't help but make a move. One thousand taels of silver was the price he had been considering for a long time. The price was not high or low, and he had room for advance and retreat. If Lu Zheng was greedy, he could still raise it.

If Lu Zheng agreed to this condition, everyone would be happy. With his decades of business experience, the manuscript of "Journey to the West" in his hands, he could earn at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. You should know that such books have been a bookseller for half his life and have never encountered them before.

After saying these words, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and Yang Shitou, who was standing beside him, also stared at Lu Zheng nervously.

Lu Zheng drank a cup of wine and shouted outside: "Ying'er, bring the book box in!"

Ying'er walked in the door obediently and placed the book box in front of Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng pressed the book box with one hand, looked at Gu Zhilun and said, "Uncle Shi, did you just say you wanted this manuscript?"

Gu Zhilun's heart skipped a beat, not understanding what Lu Zheng meant, but at this point, he could only nod and said, "Yes, nephew, I am a book lover. When I see a good book, I can't bear to let others take the lead..."

Lu Zheng slapped the book box and said in a drunken manner: "Uncle Gu Shi, I call you Uncle Shi, why do you look down on me so much? Just now, the servant Yang Shitou asked me, and I said that this manuscript would not be sold!

You gave me another thousand taels of silver, what does this mean?"

"Uh..." Gu Zhilun was speechless. Many thoughts suddenly turned into his mind. Seeing that Lu Zheng seemed to be really angry, he hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, uncle Shi was wrong, can I be wrong?"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm just kidding you. I won't sell the manuscript, but since Uncle Shi likes it, this book box is yours! You and my uncle are in trouble, why are you so disgusted with such a small matter?

For me, this is just a small task. Anyway, I have collected this thing and read it. Putting it there can only make the pearl covered with dust. Only when it comes to Uncle Shi's hands can this book become famous all over the world. For such elegant things, you actually talk to me about the gold and silver stuff?"

"I'll go!" Gu Zhilun's butt slipped and almost fell from the chair to the ground.

He was determined and always took care of himself. After he saw Lu Zheng's manuscript, he was thinking about how to lower the price, how to let Lu Zheng know his power, and what strategy to use to Lu Zheng

Bargaining, he finally forced Lu Zheng to surrender.

He even thought of using a few people to act in a play, giving Lu Zheng some illusions through some tricks, making Lu Zheng mistakenly believe that Gu Zhilun could give him more help, so that Lu Zheng could compromise.

In the end, he couldn't use all his tricks, because Lu Zheng didn't want to pay any money, so he gave it directly. One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Ordinary families can only spend one or two taels of silver a month, and one thousand taels of silver is not enough for ordinary people to earn in their entire lives!

Faced with such a huge sum of money, Lu Zheng did not frown and turned it away.

Gu Zhilun was shocked, and Yang Shitou's chin was about to fall off. He was a servant, the kind of person who could not even walk when he saw Qian Daoer. Seeing Lu Zheng facing a huge sum of 1,000 taels of silver, he refused directly, which was beyond his ability to understand.

He held it in for a long time and finally said something: "Young Master Lu is a scholar, he really loves books, and has his true nature!"

Yang Shitou said this and also reminded Gu Zhilun that his face was flushed and he was full of shame.

Today, from beginning to end, he has been judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain. He has preconceived ideas from the beginning, thinking that Lu Zheng has come to him because he wants to ask for it. Later, he thought that Lu Zheng took away the manuscript as a play to get, and he is always thinking about how to deal with Lu Zheng's possible moves.

He racked his brains and tried his best to do this, but in the end he was just careful to do it. Lu Zheng was so open-minded? There was no twists and turns at all. He really thought he was a fellow villager and the uncle of the Gu family!
