[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy

The shopkeeper of the bookstore is not greedy for people's money. Of course, the money of Jing Erye in Ningguo Mansion is not something he can greedy if he wants to talk about it.At that time, if it is pursued, it will be miserable if I offend the powerful for these two or three thousand taels, and cannot gain a foothold in the capital.

At the beginning, the shopkeeper of the bookstore thought that the books written by Jia Jing were not in line with the current fashion, and they could not be sold even if the price was cheap, and they might have to lose money.Since he was just a consignment seller, at most he would occupy a small shelf in the bookstore, so the shopkeeper naturally had no objections.

But what he didn't expect was that even though he didn't try hard to sell this book that he didn't like, even if it was placed in the corner of the bookstore, the sales volume was good.Later, the shopkeeper saw that it was profitable, so he moved the story book to a prominent place, and the sales volume was even better.Although the price is a bit cheaper, it is really a lot of money.

The shopkeeper is really painful and happy, and the happiness is naturally because the money can be credited. This pain is due to many aspects. For example, these bonuses have been saved for several months, but the second master Jing has not come to collect them.Of course, the most painful thing is being urged to ask for the next chapter.

Jia Jing's story in this book is just the beginning, and he just got stuck in the position, making those who read this book scratch their hearts and want to read the next story.So I would come to his bookstore twice a day to see if there was a new book out, which even brought a lot of other business to his bookstore.

I've been here several times, but I just haven't seen a new book, I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I can't see the author of this book, so I can only hold on to the shopkeeper's reminder.There are also some princes and ladies among the urging people, and the shopkeeper has no doubt that if they don't see the new notebook again, these nobles will take violent measures.

But what's the use of urging him.

The shopkeeper could only persuade the author with nice words, and then swore that he would definitely go to urge the author immediately.

Most of the rich and nobles these days think they want face, so naturally they can't do such a thing as smashing the bookstore, not to mention if they smash the bookstore, where will they go to sell the books.

If the threat fails, everyone can only come up with another plan, which is to lure.

There was a eunuch next to the eighth prince in the palace who sent a good Duan inkstone, saying it was a reward for the author. The implication was that as long as he saw a new book, it would be beneficial for him to be the shopkeeper.Of course, if you can't see it, the prince will be angry, and you can't do it with a million corpses, but it's still possible to smash a bookstore.

After the eighth prince opened the door, the little princess of Dongping County sent a piece of Zhan Ziqian's "Outing in Spring" and then more and more people gave things. The nobles sent some calligraphy and paintings of famous people. , or high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstone, whatever is elegant and elegant.

The other scholars couldn't afford to send these, so they wrote a poem by themselves to sing the praises of this script and flatter the author, so as not to hold everyone's appetites so much.Or if you feel that your drawing skills are not bad, you can draw a picture of a fairy gate, a protagonist, or a monster with a bloody mouth according to the description in the storybook.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to feel that he could already organize a warehouse for these things.There are a lot of precious things in these things, and the shopkeeper feels hot when he puts them in his hands, but he hasn't seen the second master Jing come to shop these days, so the shopkeeper specially picked a good day and ordered the guys to guard the shop. Send these things to Ningguo Mansion by yourself.

Jia Daihua and Jia Jing looked at the bird in Jia Jing's hand and the imperial dog following him, staring dumbfoundedly at the box full of things in front of them.Seeing the famous paintings, Xu Yi couldn't help but go up to appreciate them.

The shopkeeper swallowed nervously at these things, and then took out 3000 taels of silver notes from his pocket, "This is the dividend of the second master, the total is 3000, two hundred and thirty-one taels, and the villain will take it first today." It’s over 31 taels, and the rest of the fragments will wait for the next time, and the villain will send them over together.” Of course, it would be better if the second master came to pick it up by himself, the shopkeeper added in his heart.

Jia Daihua had suspected that Jia Jing's reading shop was not pleasing to the eye for a long time, and he deliberately went to seek personal revenge. Now seeing this box full of things and hearing the word "dividend", he is even more certain.

At the moment, he didn't care about Xu Yi, who had finally met Xu Yi, who was not very good-minded and was willing to accept him as a rebellious son. He picked up an inkstone and wanted to smash Jia Jing.If you don't learn well, you can't learn well. Jia Daihua doesn't expect Jia Jing to win three yuan in a row. Don't make troubles in the village. This is Jia Daihua's biggest expectation for Jia Jing now.

"Don't be angry, my lord. This inkstone is a gift from the eighth prince. You can't smash the objects in the palace." Although the shopkeeper didn't know why Jia Daihua suddenly became angry and wanted to smash Jia Jing, of course the shopkeeper thought that if he was a duke, Mostly, he is unwilling to let his own son do such things as writing scripts.

But this inkstone cannot be smashed, and the objects that come out of the palace may be gifts from the imperial court. If it smashes Ningguo Mansion, a state mansion, it will be fine, but I am the shopkeeper of a bookstore, so I don’t know how to die. up.So the current shopkeeper didn't care about the dignity, so he stopped him immediately.

In order to please Jia Jing, the boss who wrote the book, so that the boss would not have to suffer a beating, so that he could write the next book as soon as possible, so as to save himself from being besieged, the shopkeeper began to introduce the words in the box again. something to come.

"This is from the little princess of Dongping County Wang's family, this is from the uncle of General Shenwu's family, and this is from the young master of General Wei's family..."

Listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Jia Daihua's expression gradually became numb. He originally thought that his son might have blackmailed the shopkeeper of a bookstore, but to be honest, it's not a big deal.

The big deal is to pay more money to the shopkeeper's shock, anyway, the most important thing Ningguo Mansion lacks is money.

But after hearing such an introduction from the shopkeeper, Jia Daihua felt that his son was something special, and he probably offended all the dignitaries in the capital all over the place.

Is it too late to kill this son now?

Jia Jing was also puzzled at the side, he thought it was understandable to say that girls gave him things, it was a common occurrence in his previous life.

He comes from a good background, looks talented, and is self-motivated. There are indeed many girls in the capital who covet him.But why did these elders give him things.

What's more, these are old relatives, why not send them to the bookstore instead of sending them to Ningguo Mansion.

"It's all because of the good writing of the second master's book, and the retouching fee they sent." The shopkeeper has already tried his best, praising Jia Jing desperately, trying to get Jia Jing to write more.

What the hell?As for the pen fee, Jia Daihua felt that the shopkeeper probably just lied to himself because he thought he didn't read much.

"The story book?" Jia Jing glanced at the shopkeeper suspiciously, "You mean the story book I sold you last time?"

"Exactly." Facing this Second Master Jing who can make him a lot of money, the shopkeeper respects him very much.

"But last time, didn't we already get both money and goods?" Jia Jing suddenly thought of the fairy dance his brother told him last time, maybe it wasn't for cheating money.

"Take it back, and treat it as my gift to you." Although Jia Jing felt that his family might not be short of money, he couldn't be deceived like this.

The shopkeeper was about to cry, but he wanted to take these back, but he didn't have the guts to think about the people behind these things.

"Second Master, don't embarrass the villain. It's all given by the young masters and ladies. How dare the villain take it." The shopkeeper felt that he should move on to the next topic quickly, so as not to hear some words that he couldn't bear .

"The villain came here this time, and there is another thing. I want to ask the second master when he can free up his hands and write the second script. These days, more and more customers come to the villain's shop to inquire. "

Jia Daihua always felt that the sun might not be too much today. First, Xu Yi, who came from a scholarly family, came to him and praised Jia Jing as a young talent. After a while, the shopkeeper of the bookstore said that the book written by Jia Jing was criticized. Full of the capital's pursuit.

Jia Daihua began to suspect that he was dreaming now, but they all said that he was thinking day by day and dreaming at night, and Jia Daihua felt that he would never think that Jia Jing could have such a great ability.

But Xu Yi thought that Jia Jing deserved to be his favorite apprentice, you see, even writing a storybook can be sought after by others.

Looking at it like this, Xu Yi became more and more determined that she wanted to be Jia Jing's disciple.
