Bastard’s Resurgence

Chapter 11: Hengwu Bookstore!

The woman on the Xinchenghe painting boat is naturally not a Liangjia woman, and the Liangjia woman is definitely not so bold. The little girl didn't dare to "mouse" Lu Zheng like this when she opened the window for the first time!

I still remember that the spring day was bright and the Xincheng River was full of fog. The little girl got up early and opened the window like today, but she happened to see a pair of eyes looking at her upright and stunned. On that day, Huafang was docked on the shore. The distance is only five or six feet.

The two looked at each other, even if they were girls who grew up in the dust, their faces flushed in such a rush.

Naturally, Lu Zheng would not be embarrassed. Seeing that there were beautiful women, he was too happy to be happy. Where could he be embarrassed? Dang Even raised his hand and smiled and yelled "Hi!" at the girl.

Feeling molested, the little girl splashed a pot of water from the window, Lu Zheng fluttered away but was very happy.

Later, Lu Zheng would come to Hengwu Bookstore every day, Huafang was there every day, and Lu Zheng would watch the Xincheng River every day, and the little girl would splash water every day, but there was not much hostility.

Lu Zheng's compelling situation was there, and he looked like the rich son and brother. In the early morning, the older sisters were sleeping, and the little girl secretly molested the rich son, but he could still have a good mood for the day.

Lu Zheng is in a good mood. Today I have learned a lot. "Xinde Dictionary" has become easier to use. I went to the bookstore to look through the dictionary for a while and memorized "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment". This book is easy to memorize. There are no uncommon words. Lu Zheng's biological age is only thirteen or fourteen, which is when his memory is at its best.

"Cloud to rain, snow to wind, evening sun to clear sky..." The lines rhyme.

Yang Shitou, the bookshop clerk, came over with a smile, and bowed in a respectful salute, saying, "Mr Lu, our boss is here!"

Lu Zheng regained his senses with a "Oh" and waved his hand at Qi Biao behind him. Qi Biao secretly gritted his teeth and took out a handful of money from the coat and stuffed it into Yang Shitou's hand. Xiao Si smiled more comfortably, and Lu Zheng waved his hand. Said: "Wrap me the copy of "The Analects of Confucius", Taizu's edition!"

"Hey, okay, the young master should study the Taizu version, and the younger one will wrap it up for you immediately!" Yang Shitou happily took a volume of The Analects, and his eyes couldn't help but shadow when he left. The child slid over.

"Tsk tusk, this big girl is so beautiful, she is more luxurious and luxurious than the lady of the big family!" Yang Shitou sighed inwardly, the admiration in his heart was inexplicable.

Yinger's mood today is much better than a few days ago. When she heard Yang Shitou flattering Lu Zheng, she didn't feel particularly numb. She just watched a section of "West Chamber" and her mind was still immersed in the world of books, but see She frowned slightly, adding a few more amorous feelings.

The shopkeeper of the bookstore is surnamed Gu, his name is Gu Zhilun, and he is in his early forties. Hengwu Bookstore has a large collection of books, and is known as the first bookstore in Yangzhou. Gu Zhilun is also a well-known businessman in Yangzhou, although he is not comparable to the Zhang family. But there are also figures on the ground in Yangzhou with faces and faces. According to Lu Zheng's current situation, where can he climb this class of people?

The key to this question lies in the surnames of the two. Lu Zheng is surnamed Lu, and Gu Zhilun is surnamed Gu. What is the relationship?

It turns out that the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River are the Gu family in Yingtian Prefecture, the Lu family in Jiangning Prefecture, the Zhang family in Yangzhou Prefecture, the Chen family in Anqing Prefecture, and the Gu and Lu surnames are in Nanzhili, and even the surnames of Jiangnan are high.

Gu Zhilun and Lu Zheng ran into each other. If they want to report to the family, the two families are good together. This is the connection between the two surnames.

Of course, neither of the two reported the family, Lu Zheng did not report the family, but with the eyes of Gu Zhilun's shrewd businessman, could he not recognize the big girl from the Zhang family, the richest man in Yangzhou? Combining the relationship between the Lu family and the Zhang family, Lu Zheng has such a pomp in the Zhang family, why does his identity still need to be said?

On the contrary, it is Gu Zhilun. If he can really get in touch with Yingtianfu Gu family and Gu Guo Gongfu, where will he end up living in Yangzhou to do business? Gu Guogong's mansion is not like a royal merchant like the Zhang family. It is a real scholarly family. The Gu family is the first of the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the lintel supported by scholars!

One is the son of the Lu family, and the other is an offshoot of the Gu family. They happened to be acquainted with each other in Yangzhou, so Gu Zhilun naturally looked at Lu Zheng differently.

Moreover, Lu Zheng is not very old, but he speaks well. When it comes to poetry and essays, he often has amazing theories.

Gu Zhilun has a reputation for being a scholar. He chatted with Lu Zheng and still felt that he could not touch the foundation of Lu Zheng. As a result, the impression Lu Zheng left on him has naturally become more extraordinary.

"Gu Shishu! Don't be unharmed! I heard that you have responded to the sky in the past few days. Have you brought back a lot of good books?" Lu Zheng saluted Gu Zhilun from afar, calling him Shishu, letting Gu Zhilun go. I feel extremely comfortable.

Gu Zhilun was also wearing a long gown. He waved his hand and said, "Chunxiang, hurry up and bring tea to Brother Zheng! I certainly brought back the book this time, but this Maojian before the rain is the real boutique. I've wrapped a few taels for you, and you can take it back to try it. This is the taste of our Yingtian Jiangning area!"

As Gu Zhilun was so polite, Lu Zheng quickly thanked him, the host and guest greeted tea, and Gu Zhilun said: "Brother Zheng, this time I searched the Bookstore and Printing House, and I didn’t see the "Journey to the West" you mentioned. Books like "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", hey, last time I heard you talk about these books, I was very fascinated in my heart, but unfortunately I couldn't find them!"

"Huh?" Lu Zheng was shocked: "Can't you find it? Are there any in "The Record of the Love Monk" and "The Story of the Stone"?"

Gu Zhilun shook his head and said, "Brother Zheng, I have been dealing with books for the rest of my life. There are really no books you mentioned. If they are, how can I not get them?"

Gu Zhilun looked regretful. He had chatted with Lu Zheng before, and Lu Zheng asked him for some book information. Naturally, he had to mention the four masterpieces. Lu Zheng also said casually at the time because he had not seen it in the bookstore. To these books, he was reluctant to spend too much money on books. I wrote the titles of such books, but I wanted to show that he didn't want to buy books, but that the book he was going to buy was not available at Hengwu Bookstore!

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhilun took it seriously. After asking about the content of these books, Lu Zheng casually said some of the content involved, and Gu Zhilun immediately attracted great attention. As a bookseller, he can tell at a glance what a bestseller is.

If the books Lu Zheng said existed, they would definitely be super best-selling books. He immediately decided to go to Yingtian to find out the news in the bookstore, but there was no gain.

Lu Zheng was also a little surprised by this result. There are books such as "West Chamber" and "Peach Blossom Fan", why are there no "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms"? A lot of thoughts turned in his mind for a moment, but he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while, so he changed the subject.

After chatting with Gu Zhilun for a while, it was almost lunchtime, so he got up and said goodbye. The young fellow Yang Shitou wrapped the Analects in brocade and handed it to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng was about to ask Qi Biao to pay, and Gu Zhilun came from behind and said haha, "Brother Zheng, you can see my version of the Analects. It is an honor for our bookstore. You take a book. Where can you spend money?

I asked Shitou to pack all the four books of Taizu's edition for you. Just take it as a little bit of my heart, and you must not refuse! "

Lu Zheng "Huh?" He was stunned for a moment, and he was very happy, but he couldn't show it on his face. Even though he often said, "Given the elders, I dare not give up! I will definitely work hard in my studies and live up to the world. Uncle Yinyin's affection to persuade you to learn!"

Gu Zhilun had a big heart. Lu Zheng's words made his vanity greatly satisfied. He wore his beard and said, "Brother Zheng, you can come to my Hengwu Bookstore in the future, but there are books you like. Although I take it, your uncle, although I am just a merchant, I am the seed that loves reading most.

When your brother Zheng gets on the gold list, I am also deeply honored by Uncle..."

Lu Zheng is completely speechless. People in this era are too outrageous. In this way, not only can I read for free, but can I also buy books for free?

Lu Zheng had an impulse. He immediately took a set of "Xinde Dictionary" and a set of "Twenty-Four History", and then did scientific research related to the Five Classics, as well as the five classics annotations. There is a place to rent a carriage, rent a carriage directly to pull these books back.

But after all, impulse was just impulse. Lu Zheng's face was very calm, and he repeatedly thanked him, but he didn't seem to be tempted. He pondered for a while, but changed his conversation, and said:

"Uncle World treats me this way, and I am honest with him. The "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms" I said have their own books. After some time, I will ask someone to check the news. If I can get the manuscript, I It must be the first time to ventilate the uncle!"

"Then dare to love it, if it does, I definitely can't fall behind others in Hengwu Bookstore!"

Gu Zhilun personally sent Lu Zheng to the door of the bookshop. The two said goodbye. The light rain was still falling outside. Ying'er was holding the oil-paper umbrella, Qi Biao followed behind, and the three masters and servants disappeared into the fog-like rain curtain.

Gu Zhilun looked at the direction of Lu Zheng's disappearance. For a long time, he murmured: "This son is definitely not a thing in the pool! A Lu family concubine was sent to Yangzhou by the mistress of his mistress, but he has his own way of survival. Surprisingly, he is. It's really rare!"

This time Gu Zhilun went to Yingtian, apart from looking for books, he secretly inquired about Lu Zheng's origins.

Lu Zheng was a son who came out of Lu Guo's official mansion, but he was a concubine son and was not liked by his mistress.

Lu Zheng’s identity is true, but based on Lu Zheng’s situation, he should have lived a miserable life in Yangzhou. You can see Lu Zheng’s style and aura, followed by a big girl from the Zhang family. The usual cost is everywhere in the style of the son-in-law, and the freedom of entering and leaving the Zhang family is unconstrained. How can it be affected by the miserable loss? The reason for this, Gu Zhilun can probably think of Lu Zheng's extraordinary ability after a little pondering.

Besides, Lu Zheng returned home with a big hit today. A set of four books cost more than twenty taels of silver, and now he can get it without spending a penny. And with a teacher like Ying'er, Lu Zheng can read the four books immediately!
