Chapter 468: Scalpers

With the past of the Han family's female case, people's heated discussions gradually receded, but two other major events in Chang'an City covered it up.

One is the founding of the Confucian periodical, and the other is the convening of the second ink art exhibition.

Pan's Restaurant.

A Confucian scribe in a green shirt blushed and said excitedly: "We are all children of sages, so we naturally want to read Confucian publications. ”

Suddenly, many people around who were reading nodded in agreement.

"I heard that there are many articles written by the Great Confucian Literature Sect in this ink magazine, and it is really an honor for us to be able to read the articles of our predecessors."

"Ink magazine, we have already unsubscribed from the ink magazine, just wait for the release of the Confucian periodical, and have a look."

……………………

One by one, the scribes stood in line.

They are all children of Confucianism, so they naturally support ink magazines, which is a matter of position.

"Shopkeeper Pan, shouldn't you change this ink magazine, I often come to your restaurant, if there is no Confucian magazine, I won't come again!" The green-clothed scholar suddenly shouted at the shopkeeper Pan on the counter.

When the shopkeeper Pan heard this, he said with a smile: "When the Confucian journal is listed, the villain will naturally buy it." ”

He is a businessman, and he will not be stingy with a little money if his customers need it, but if he is asked to unsubscribe from the ink magazine, he is really unwilling, after all, compared to these literati and ink writers, the last more wine customers in the restaurant prefer the ink magazine that is straightforward and interesting, containing the world's strange news.

How could the Confucian scribe not hear the perfunctory meaning of the shopkeeper Pan, he couldn't help frowning, and was about to say more, when suddenly a child of the Mo family appeared at the door of the Pan family restaurant.

"Could it be that the ink magazine has added another special issue?" When the shopkeeper Pan saw the children of the Mo family, his face was happy and said, as a restaurant shopkeeper, he usually has to entertain customers from all over the world, and the things published by Moton in various parts of the world make him like a fish in water, how can he be willing to unsubscribe from ink magazines.

The children of the Mo family smiled and said: "The latest issue of the ink magazine will be published after the ink technology exhibition, and the shopkeeper Pan does not need to be in a hurry. ”

Shopkeeper Pan was puzzled: "Then who are you here this time?" ”

The children of the Mo family showed a mysterious smile and said: "Although it is not an ink magazine this time, I believe that the shopkeeper Pan will definitely like it." ”

"Oh!" Shopkeeper Pan suddenly became interested.

The son of the Mo family said: "In view of the fact that the Pan family restaurant is a loyal reader of ink magazines, the Mo family specially invited the shopkeeper Pan to participate in the ink art exhibition on the second day of the second month of February. ”

"Invitation to the Ink Show?" Shopkeeper Pan was pleasantly surprised.

A group of diners were also dumbfounded, last year's ink art exhibition was wonderful, and free to open, but because the reputation of the Mo family is not obvious, so many people did not catch up, among which the amazing ink skills have made them talk about it so far, and they regret it.

This year, they have long been gearing up, and secretly made up their minds that they must not miss the ink art exhibition, who knew that this year's ink art exhibition is no longer directly open, but directly invited.

"This ink master, how can I get the invitation of the Mo family to go to the ink art exhibition, and how much does it cost?" A diner asked curiously, and the Confucian scribe sitting next to him couldn't help but listen.

This Mo family disciple said with a smile: "Participating in the ink art exhibition is free, you only need to subscribe to the ink magazine for a long time, you can get the invitation of the Mo family to participate in the ink art exhibition, and each ink magazine will give you an admission ticket, of course, if you cancel halfway, it is not." ”

When the Confucian scribe heard this, his face immediately turned green.

The diner was immediately overjoyed and said: "Then I can rest assured, the ink magazine ordered here is all year round." ”

The children of the Mo family said politely: "Thank you for your support to the ink magazine, I believe that your admission ticket has been personally delivered by the children of the Mo family." ”

"This is an invitation ticket to the Ink Art Exhibition! Please also ask the shopkeeper Pan to personally accept. The children of the Mo family respectfully handed Pan a large stack of invitation rolls.

"Twenty?" Shopkeeper Pan was overjoyed.

The children of the Mo family said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Pan orders twenty copies of ink magazines, naturally there will be twenty admission tickets, Shopkeeper Pan has to collect them, and there are not many admission tickets issued in Chang'an City!" ”

Shopkeeper Pan suddenly rolled his eyes, he naturally knew that because of Confucian magazines, many people unsubscribed from ink magazines, so those who unsubscribed from ink magazines naturally had no admission tickets.

Watching the children of the Mo family leave, the shopkeeper Pan hid the admission ticket in his hand in his arms like a treasure.

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you don't watch the ink art exhibition, maybe the Mo family is already Jiang Lang's talent." The Confucian scribe said sourly.

"That's it, the Mo family is just relying on the legacy of the Mo family's ancestors, just sitting on the empty mountain!" The fellow scribes chimed in.

"Sour! If you had half of the Mo family's brains, you would have been a high school champion a long time ago. The diner who asked just now pouted and sneered.

"How dare you humiliate me!" The Confucian scribe was furious.

"Humiliation, what I said is the truth, as far as I know, the Mo family has long built a large venue outside the south city for this ink art exhibition, which is enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 people, the Mo family is so confident, and you are talking here with cool words, isn't it sour jealousy?" Diners are merciless.

"A venue of nearly 10,000 people?" In the Panjia restaurant, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Mo Jiazi is worthy of being Mo Jiazi, and he is still a consistent generous man!" Other diners also exclaimed.

"I heard that the Chengnan Ink Art Exhibition has been preparing since the New Year, and I believe that this time it will not be disappointed."

"Humph! When did Mo Jiazi disappoint. ”

………………

Everyone said a word, and they all supported the Mo family.

The Confucian scribe's face suddenly turned blue and red, and many people immediately felt remorseful in their hearts, they had all subscribed to the ink journal for many years before, but now because the Confucian journal was about to be released, they unsubscribed from the ink magazine.

If you let them know that this will be the case, they will not unsubscribe, at least they will wait until after the ink art exhibition to unsubscribe, and then order two copies at the same time! The ink magazine is a semi-monthly magazine, and one is only a penny, and even a year-round subscription is only 20 yuan.

"Shopkeeper Pan, I don't know if your invitation tickets are sold? I just came from Luoyang, and I was specially preparing to see the ink art exhibition, but who knew that I still needed to invite coupons. A merchant from Luoyang hoped.

Many people's eyes lit up suddenly, and the shopkeeper Pan had twenty admission tickets at once, so he naturally couldn't use them up.

When the shopkeeper Pan heard this, his heart moved: "Sell, naturally sell!" ”

"Would you like to ask Shopkeeper Pan to make a price?" Luoyang merchants said happily.

Shopkeeper Pan held up a finger.

"A penny? The shopkeeper Pan is really benevolent! Luoyang merchants said happily.

Shopkeeper Pan shook his head and said, "No, it's a penny." ”

The Luoyang merchant was suddenly dissatisfied: "Why don't you go and rob it!" Ordering a full-year ink journal is only 20 yuan, and a penny of silver is worth 100 yuan, which is enough for five years of ink magazine. ”

Shopkeeper Pan sneered: "If it is an ink magazine, it is naturally not worth so much money, but at this moment, it is an admission ticket to the ink art exhibition in my hands." If you are not a frequent customer of Panjia Restaurant, you are willing to sell it in the next, and if you change others, it will be doubled, and it will not be sold in the next! ”

For a while, everyone was silent, although a lot of silver, but it was nothing to be able to watch the ink art exhibition, but it didn't take any effort for the shopkeeper Pan to get it, but everyone had to spend a lot of money to buy it and felt uncomfortable.

"If you are too expensive, you can wait for three days to watch it for free after the ink art exhibition opens." Shopkeeper Pan sneered.

For three days, they lived in Chang'an City for three days and spent more than a penny, and the merchants in Luoyang no longer hesitated, and happily paid a penny and bought an invitation ticket.

Subsequently, many people paid money to buy it, and soon Pan Zhan Cabinet had sold ten invitation tickets and earned one or two silver.

However, more people think it's not worth it and wait and see, but the development of things makes them regret it.

It's not just these people who regret it, in Chang'an City, those who unsubscribed from the ink magazine regretted it one by one, and they actually missed such a grand event as the ink art exhibition because of a thought.

Citizens who did not have invitation tickets for the ink art exhibition spent money to buy them, and for a while, a new profession was born in Datang, the scalpers.

There are shrewd people who spend money to buy invitation rolls and sell them at a high price, and on the opening day of the ink art exhibition, an invitation ticket was sold for one or two silver, and it was priceless.
