Bastard’s Resurgence

Lu Zheng sent the manuscript, how could Gu Zhilun dare not pay the penny?

Merchants have low self-esteem in their bones. Gu Zhilun is a businessman, but he has a study in the backyard, his clothes, and his fame as a genius everywhere. This is inferior in every way. Only in a society with a high degree of reading, scholars have the supremacy of all classes of society. Manifestation.

What should a scholar be like? Lu Zheng's style is like a true scholar. He regards money as a dumb thing and never forgets morality and justice in front of daughters. This means that wealth can't be fornication. Gu Zhilun compares himself with Lu Zheng, which is really shameless.

In the Dakang Dynasty, scholars were divided into three classes. The first-class talents were called endowment students. The state provided special subsidies for such talents. After passing the examination, they went directly to the county school or the state school to study. They were assessed every year and could participate in the township examination. The second-class talent is called Zengsheng, and the recruitment of students is an expansion of the endowment. This type of talent does not enjoy state subsidies, but the outstanding ones have the opportunity to participate in the township examination by juren, and the last-class talent is called the affiliated student, the affiliated student member. Attached student members must be eligible to participate in the township examinations only after they have applied for an annual examination in the county school or the state school.

Moreover, the affiliated student member of the Dakang Dynasty can donate. If he is not admitted to the scholar at the age of 40, he can spend money to donate a scholar. Gu Zhilun is the affiliated student member. Therefore, how embarrassing his status is as a scholar, he himself My heart is like Ming Jing'er.

Lu Zheng sent the manuscript, and he came out of the Chunfeng Building full of food and drink. Gu Zhilun greeted the young man in the bookstore to get things ready.

A Twenty-Four History, a "Xinde Dictionary" and a set of engraved versions of the "Five Classics", as well as various books such as "Five Classics Collected Notes", "Four Books Chapters Collected Notes", "Selected Works of Shiwen", etc. He just installed almost a carriage.

"Brother Zheng, don't be polite to me! Uncle Shi, I have nothing to do in my life, I only manage books. These Uncles are given to you, and I hope you will win the Toad Palace one day and be named on the gold list!"

Gu Zhilun gave Lu Zheng a little bag and said: "Brother Zheng, this is what I mean. You can take it as a reward, don't refuse! Give uncle some thin noodles!"

Gu Zhilun rented a carriage to Lu Zheng to deliver books, and gave another two hundred taels of silver. Adding up all of them, he only spent a few hundred taels of silver.

With such a small amount of money to get such a manuscript, he can say that he has made a profit. How can he be in a bad mood?

Seeing that the boss was happy to bloom, Yang Shitou on the side felt worthless for Lu Zheng. Such a valuable manuscript was sent straight away, and it was not worth giving to a profiteer like Gu Zhilun.

Lu Zheng really feels too much money. Isn't it a good idea to earn some rewards for their poor slaves?

Ying'er frowned again and again. She was involved in today's affairs from beginning to end. When Gu Zhilun was about to give Lu Zheng one thousand taels of silver, she almost bit off her tongue.

However, Lu Zheng flatly rejected the one thousand taels of silver, which made her admire and feel distressed. Admiring Lu Zheng's respect for money is like dung, and distressed that the one thousand taels of silver was so rejected. , It is a pity.

Lu Zheng is in such a bad situation now. If he has a thousand dollars in hand, he can set a yard outside Zhang's mansion to completely get rid of Zhang's restraint. From now on, let the birds fly, and no longer have to be trembling and walking on thin ice. Up.

Not asking for a thousand taels of silver, Gu Zhilun sent Lu Zheng away with a cart of books. Ying'er was in a complicated mood.

Only Qi Biao's expression was the most normal. He felt amused when he saw Gu Zhilun's exuberant expression, as if he was taking advantage of the sky.

Where is Brother Zheng's advantage so easy to take advantage of? When Gu Zhilun was crying...

...

The light in the study that was not spacious was a little dim. Lu Zheng put down the "Four Books, Chapters and Sentences" in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said, "What time is it now, Ying'er?"

"It's already the first time! Uncle Qi has been waiting for you in the yard, saying that Boss Chen's carriage outside has been waiting for you for more than half an hour!" Ying'er slowly approached.

Lu Zheng stretched out a long lazy waist and said, "Okay, Ying'er, Uncle Qi and I will go out for a walk. It may be a little late when we come back. You, Siqi and the others will rest earlier."

Lu Zheng left the study. Qi Biao was already standing in the yard. He smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, are you leaving now?"

"go!"

Lu Zheng walked out of the yard and walked out of the West Point Gate. Outside the door, a green curtain carved carriage stopped neatly at the door. He saw Lu Zheng coming out, and a person rolling on the carriage, he said happily: "Oh, Lord Lu , You can come. The little one has been waiting for you for a long time. Please get in the car soon. Today, there is a nobleman who admires your demeanor. He must meet you and let the minions come and invite you.

What kind of skin does the minion have? You are also gentleman, you are easy-going, and you exalt the minion. The minion is really impressed! "

This guy is no one else, but Yang Shishi, the young fellow from Hengwu Bookstore. Seeing this minion, I haven't seen him for half a month, his complexion is already very different. I don't wear a linen double-breasted gown. I changed into a silk shirt and a pair of white soap boots on my feet. The whole person looks a lot more energetic.

Lu Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Isn't this Yang Shitou? Okay, I'll walk with you today and see what tricks you guys have!"

Lu Zheng and Qi Biao got into the carriage, and Yang Shitou shouted, "Master Lu, sit down!"

He raised his whip, and the carriage ran straight along Xinchenghe Street to the bank of the Slender West Lake in the city.

The horse stepped briskly, Yang Shitou raised his whip and hummed with excitement.

Lu Zheng is really his nobleman. Because of Lu Zheng, he knows the origin of the manuscript of "Journey to the West". Recently, "Journey to the West" by Hengwu Bookstore has been selling well in the city, and it is selling expensive paper in Luoyang. This is not true. Le has broken Gu Zhilun, the owner of Hengwu Bookstore, but also saddened Chen Changwen, the owner of Qingya Bookstore, another big bookstore in Yangzhou.

Chen Changwen found Yang Shitou, without saying anything, and directly gave him a reward of ten taels of silver, and then gave him two taels of wages every month, which was four times the wages he had in Hengwu Bookstore, so Yang Shitou naturally went there. The Qingya Bookstore.

Chen Changwen also promised him that if Yang Shitou could invite Lu Zheng, he would be able to reward Yang Shitou with a few dozen silver dollars! No, now that Lu Zheng is in the carriage, and the rewards are in hand again, why would Yang Shitou be unhappy?

After getting the reward this time, Yang Shitou had already thought about it, and immediately bought a few acres of land in his hometown, and then renovated the old home’s house. Once he had land, he would have a house and marry a wife. The old Yang family’s poor life finally ended. It's over.

Lu Zheng Lu Gongzi is a scholar, simple and simple, Chen Changwen must have a way to get the remaining manuscripts in his hands, if Yang Shitou facilitates this transaction, there may be more rewards!

With a yearning for a better life, Yang Shitou finally drove the carriage to the destination.

It was the first time for Lu Zheng to paint a boat in the Slender West Lake. At this time, when the lights were on, the area of ​​Slender West Lake was extremely lively.

Scholars, officials, elder brothers, merchants, and even traffickers and pawns gathered here. The paintings were brightly lit, and the girls and ladies were welcoming guests at the bow, Yingying and Yanyan, it was so lively.

Above the lake, there are occasional sounds of silk and bamboo, and the sound of ethereal singing, which adds to the endless reverie.

Yang Shitou led the way, and a few people boarded a boat named "Tingyu Pavilion". Lu Zheng got up to the bow, and the old bust immediately came over with a smile and said, "Oh, this young man has a tight face. Today, I don’t know which pretty sister is blessed, son, let’s listen to Yuge girl Xuan Xuan..."

"Go, go! Who are you as Lu Gongzi? They are guests other than Chen Yuan. Can Xuan Xuan's vulgar fans be worthy of him?"

"Oh, you see that I am really dizzy! Please, please, Chen Yuanwai has been waiting for a long time!"

The "Tingyu Pavilion" painting boat has a total of three floors. The design is exquisite, like a luxury cruise ship. The upper room on the top floor is covered with scarlet Persian carpets. The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant. It doesn't have the slightest atmosphere of dust and dust, but it looks like the boudoir of her daughter's house.

Chen Yuanwai is naturally Chen Changwen. He is in his early forties, with white face and no need, wearing a Confucian costume and holding a folding fan. He is very literary.

"Haha, Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, long admiration, my dear Chen Changwen, Jiu Mu is a talented son, it is a great honor to see him today!" Chen Changwen was extremely polite, Lu Zheng smiled slightly, said:

"Boss Chen is polite, according to seniority, I should call you Uncle Shi! I feel sorry for Uncle Shi to spend so much today!" Lu Zheng said.

When Lu Zheng said this, Chen Changwen was in a good mood, and he nodded to Lu Zheng with great appreciation, and said: "If this is the case, I will ask you to call you brother Zheng! Brother Zheng doesn't know, this listens to Yuxuan'Qilan' Everyone, but admire you too tightly!

If it's not like this, like me and other laymen, how can there be a chance to listen to everyone in Yuge Qilan's boudoir banquet! "

Chen Changwen said this very sincerely. Lu Zheng's heart moved slightly. He looked around, and where did he see other people there?

Chen Changwen smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, everyone in Qilan will be there later." He paused, looked at Lu Zheng up and down, and sighed:

"I can't believe it, "Journey to the West" and other stunning masterpieces were actually written by Brother Zheng. A real boy is promising!"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly, and said: "Chen Shishu, "Journey to the West" is not my work. It is a masterpiece of a former scholar. I just collected and sorted out some manuscripts. I don’t want to hide it from Shishu. In other words, the most important thing is to study hard now, so that you can gain fame as soon as possible."

"Flap, pop!" Chen Changwen clapped his hands and praised, "Okay, okay, brother Zheng is very ambitious, I watch brother Zheng, young and old, he is so energetic, and by no means a thing in the pool. In time, I will meet the weathered dragon and go to the palace of Toad. Ziegui will surely move the world!"
