Chapter 17: Selling Books

After having lunch together, Han Jian, Sima Yi, and Ruan Ping went downstairs, and when they arrived at the door of Qingxu Yashe, they were greeted by a light-footed son, who was Yang Gongzi who had dinner together and visited Luoyang City yesterday.

"Three, it's really here." When Yang Gongzi saw the three of them, his face was overjoyed, and he came forward and handed over the book from the ground, "Brother Han, I left in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't have time to say goodbye, so I will send a meeting gift today to talk about it." ”

These politely made Han Jian frown. This Yang Gongzi didn't talk much when they visited Luoyang together yesterday afternoon, but before leaving, he said goodbye, why did it become "too late to say goodbye"? Did you come here today to give a "meeting gift"?

"Young Master Yang is too polite." Han Jian took the "gift" and the perfunctory smile on his face stiffened. What Yang Gongzi gave him was a commentary on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Su Zhongxian, but the pages looked newer.

published a book by himself, was pirated, and sent it to him as a gift, Han Jian was really speechless in his heart.

Yang Gongzi said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard Han Gongzi talk about the Three Kingdoms, and I seemed to be very interested in this book, so I found the same book and sent it to Han Gongzi after I went back." The book is new, please laugh at it. ”

"Thank you very much." Han Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Is there anything else wrong with Young Master Yang?" ”

Yang Gongzi smiled slightly shyly and said, "Sister, I want to let you follow more than three people...... Learn to learn. ”

Han Jian looked this Yang Gongzi up and down, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that this kid was like a sissy, and it turned out that he was living in the shadow of the "sister", which was no wonder.

"Then Yang Gongzi, please go upstairs and wait, let's go out to do some personal business, and come back soon." Han Jian said.

Yang Gongzi wanted to go along, but when he heard Han Jian say that he was going to do "private affairs", he also knew each other, and after saying a few words, he went to the second floor of Qingxu Yashe to wait.

Sima Yi looked at Yang Gongzi's back and wondered: "Where did Yang Gongzi come from?" ”

"Whatever." Han Jian said, "Didn't you say that you didn't have the money to go to Qingyuefang to see Miss Xiliu?" That's not it. ”

Ruan Ping was a little stupid and asked, "How can there be?" ”

Sima Yi was as smart as a monkey spirit, patted Ruan Ping's head and said, "I can't think of this?" The young boy said that he sold this book, and Su Zhongxian commented on the book "Three Kingdoms", how could he come back in exchange for a few taels of silver. ”

Ruan Ping shouted, "How can this be? This is Yang Gongzi's meeting gift, and how can books be sold casually? ”

"Haven't you heard of the 'Golden House in the Book'?" Han Jian glared at Ruan Ping, who regarded books as his life, and had already taken a step under his feet, "Sima, do you know where there is a bookstore in Luoyang City that accepts books?" It is also possible to find a book market, let's go to a few more stores and sell them at a good price. ”

"Great!" Sima thought that he could go to Qingyuefang to "see" without spending his own money, so he was naturally very happy and followed Han Fitness.

Ruan Ping also followed the footsteps, and shouted to himself: "What 'has its own golden house in the book'?" How come I haven't heard of it, from which book? You can't make it up again, right? ”

The three of them were young and vigorous, and their steps were fast, and they soon found the largest chain bookstore in Luoyang City under the guidance of Ruan Ping, and the name of this bookstore was only one word, the name was "Mo". Han Jian looked up at the plaque with one word, and said in his heart, I don't know, I thought that this place was selling ink inkstones.

"I said that this is the largest one in Luoyang City, I have been here twice before, the shopkeeper's surname is Song, he treats people very kindly, and he also lets people read books casually, and when I came, some people came to sell old books, and the price charged was better." Ruan Ping did not forget to introduce Han Jian.

"That's good, go in and have a look." Han Jian this time is not only to sell books, but also to inspect the form of the bookstore in Luoyang City, and to prepare for the relocation of the Three Kingdoms Bookstore to Luoyang City.

When I arrived at the bookstore, I saw that the bookstore was not large, but there were a lot of bookshelves and bookcases, which were densely packed with books. There are a lot of thread-bound books, and there are even some bamboo slips, which are rare in the Wei Dynasty.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, not tall, wearing a large blue coat, who walked out from behind the counter when he saw a customer coming.

"Three guests, but you want to buy books?" The shopkeeper saw three people who came, and one of them had come twice, but he only read the book and did not buy it. Although I haven't seen two of them, the clothes on their bodies are very good, and they are rich at first glance.

"No, we're here to sell books." Sima Yi handed over the commentary to the Three Kingdoms, "Shopkeeper Song, right, let's see what price this book can sell?" ”

When the shopkeeper Song heard that he was here to sell books, his demeanor changed slightly, but he was still very polite, and he looked at the book first.

Sima Yi was in charge of selling books, while Han Jian walked around and looked casually, he also wanted to know what kind of books were sold in the bookstore at the moment. At a glance, except for the exam, it is the Four Books and Five Classics, or the township examination, or the examination meeting, which is similar to the bookstore that specializes in "college entrance examination review materials".

"This book ......" The chief shopkeeper carefully looked at the books handed over by Sima Yi, and his tone became very cautious, "It's rare on the market, I think, I have to find someone to read it before I can give a satisfactory answer to a few people." ”

"Hurry up, then." Sima urged him.

"Those guys, wait a minute, I'll call someone to come and have a look." Shopkeeper Song didn't seem to be afraid of being stolen from someone, and after holding the book directly into the curtain, Han Jian was also afraid that the other party would change the book, but since the other party trusted them, he also reciprocated his trust.

"Lao Liu, come out and take a look, there is a book."

Soon, the shopkeeper Song came out with an old man who was fifty or sixty years old but very tall and thin, and the old man came out and first glanced at the three people outside, and then took the book in his hand, and did not open it, but first looked at the hard pages outside, then looked at the title page, and then opened it to look at the contents inside.

After the old man finished reading, he glanced at the three of them again, said a word in the ear of the shopkeeper, and then turned back and went behind the curtain.

Xiao Yingying, the shopkeeper, stepped forward and handed the book back to Sima Yi, "Don't hide it, we don't dare to accept this book." ”

"What do you mean?" Sima Yu's face was not good, "Fake? ”

"It's true, and it's Su Zhongxian's handwritten commentary, not a copy sold outside. It's just that this book ...... I'm afraid it's not the right way, right? ”

Sima Yi was angry at the moment and shouted: "Shopkeeper Song, are you saying that we stole this book and we are here to sell the stolen goods?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what you mean." The shopkeeper Song saw that Sima was arrogant, and he was old and frail, and he was very afraid of hurting the harmony, and this young boy who was like a splash would fight, "But it is reported that the original version of this book is in the palace and will not flow outside the palace." ”

Han Jian was originally holding a book next to him and watched coldly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "In the palace? ”

The three old friends glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes. That Yang Gongzi came from a mysterious way, could it be someone in the palace?

Han Jian thought about it, it was possible, the surname Yang itself was the imperial surname of the Wei Dynasty, and Han Jian mentioned it when they first met. And today's empress is the eldest princess of the former Emperor Wen, although she is not married and has no heirs, but there are several younger siblings below, but when Emperor Wen passed away, the sons were young, and Emperor Wen did not want to entrust the minister to the minister, so the eldest princess succeeded to the throne, in fact, it was also restricting his cousin King Xi and his younger brother King North from snatching the throne.

Facts have proved that the eldest princess of Emperor Wen, the current empress, has quite a good ruling ability, and can hold the dynasty steadily, at least she has not lost the emperor's position. At this time, the empress's younger brothers were also gradually coming of age.

Han Jian thought to himself, no wonder Yang Gongzi wanted to say that it was his sister's order. It turned out that yesterday's "coincidence" with Yang Gongzi in Qingxu Yashe was also premeditated.

"Then we won't sell this book." Han Jian said, asking Sima Yi to take the book back.

"That's ...... Best. The shopkeeper Song didn't want to cause trouble, and he was relieved to hear that the other party didn't want to sell.

Han Jian personally stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Song, do you have "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for sale here?" ”

Shopkeeper Song said with a sad face: "Yes, yes, but there are too many people who are looking for purchases recently, and the book has been sold out of the market. ”

Han Jian nodded and continued to ask, "Then in Luoyang City, where can I buy the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the Three Kingdoms Bookstore? ”

"This ......," Shopkeeper Song said with a smile, "Forgive me, these Three Kingdoms Bookstore does not have a semicolon in Luoyang City, and the books produced by their family may be able to be bought in the Huaihe generation, but in Luoyang City, if you want to buy it, it depends on the opportunity, and ordinary bookstores will not have it." ”

"Oh." Han Jian nodded again, "Then I'll tell you that the shopkeeper is the owner of the Three Kingdoms Book Company, and I want to cooperate with your 'Mo' Book Store to launch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and comic books together, so I don't know how to talk about it?" ”

"Huh?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he was taken aback and said, "This and this...... If you want to talk, I'm afraid you have to talk to our host, Mrs. Luo. ”
