Lu Zheng gave the manuscript, how could Gu Zhilun dare to really not pay any penny?

A businessman is inferior in his heart. Gu Zhilun is a businessman, but he set up a study in the backyard, dressed in clothes, highlighting his scholar's fame everywhere. This is a low-quality society, but a society with high academic performance and a supreme status of scholars in all levels of society.

What should scholars be like? Lu Zheng's behavior is the character of a scholar. He regards money as a cube and does not forget morality in front of his daughter. This means that wealth cannot be lustful. Gu Zhilun compares himself with Lu Zheng, which is really ashamed.

In the Great Kang Dynasty, scholars were divided into three levels, and the first-class scholar was called the student. The state had special subsidies for this type of scholar. After passing the exam, they went directly to the county school or the provincial school and received the examination every year and could participate in the provincial examination. The second-class scholar was called the growth of the student. The student was the expansion of the student. This type of scholar did not enjoy the state subsidy, but the outstanding ones had the opportunity to participate in the provincial examination and rely on the juren, and the last-class scholar was called the student and the student. The student was first given the student to be replenished in the annual assessment of the county school or the provincial school before they were eligible to participate in the provincial examination.

Moreover, the affiliated students of the Dakang Dynasty can donate. If you don’t get a scholar at the age of 40, you can spend money to donate a scholar. Gu Zhilun is an affiliated student. Therefore, how embarrassed he is, he feels like a mirror in his heart.

Lu Zheng delivered the manuscript and came out of Chunfeng Tower with enough wine and food. Gu Zhilun had already called the servants in the bookstore to prepare the things.

There are twenty-four histories, one "Xinde Dictionary" and a set of engraved "Five Classics", as well as "Five Classics Collection", "Four Books Chapters and Quotations Collection", "Second Collection of Texts" and other books, which contain almost a carriage.

"Brother Zheng, don't be polite to me! Uncle Shi, I have no other skills in my life, I just manage books. Uncle Shi gave you these books, I hope you can win the Toad Palace and get a title on the gold list one day!"

Gu Zhilun gave Lu Zheng a small treasure bag and said, "Brother Zheng, this is my point. You can use it to reward people. Don't refuse! Give uncle some thin face!"

Gu Zhilun rented a carriage to Lu Zheng to deliver books, and gave him another 200 taels of silver. Together, he only spent a few hundred taels of silver.

He can say that he has made a lot of money to get such a manuscript for this little money, so how can he be in a bad mood?

Seeing the boss having fun, Yang Shitou on the side felt that it was not worth it for Lu Zheng. Such a valuable manuscript was given directly, and it was not worth it to give it to a profiteer like Gu Zhilun.

Lu Zheng really thinks that the money is too much, so he can earn it to them, poor slaves, to reward some?

Ying'er also frowned repeatedly. She participated in today's affairs from beginning to end. When Gu Zhilun wanted to give Lu Zheng a thousand taels of silver, her tongue almost bit off.

But Lu Zheng turned away one thousand taels of silver, which made her both admire and feel distressed. Naturally, she admired Lu Zheng's integrity in treating money like dirt. Naturally, she felt distressed that one thousand taels of silver was rejected like this. It was such a pity.

Lu Zheng is in such a bad situation now. If he had a thousand silver on hand, he could have built a yard outside the Zhang Mansion, so as to completely get rid of the Zhang family's clampdown. From now on, the sky is high and the birds are flying, and there is no need to live a life of trembling and walking on thin ice.

After not asking for a thousand taels of silver, Gu Zhilun used a cart of books to dispose of Lu Zheng. Ying'er's mood was so complicated.

Only Qi Biao's expression was the most normal. When he saw Gu Zhilun's heartfelt look, he felt funny.

How can Brother Zheng take advantage of it so easily? Looking back, Gu Zhilun cried...

...

The lights in the not-so-spacious study were a little dim. Lu Zheng put down the "Four Books Chapters and Quotations" in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said, "What time is it now, Ying'er?"

"It's already the beginning of the Youth hour! 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 came over and said.

Lu Zheng stretched out his long 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 and Siqi and the others will rest early."

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

"Walk!"

Lu Zheng walked out of the yard and walked out of the Xijiao Gate. Outside the door, a green curtain carriage was parked at the door in a regular manner. When he saw Lu Zheng coming out, someone rolled down the carriage and said happily: "Oh, Mr. Lu, you are here. The young man has been waiting for you here for a long time. Please get on the car. Today, there is a noble man who admires your style. He must meet you and ask the servant to come and invite you.

There is no face in the slave? You are also easy-going, and you are so proud of your servant. You are really aware of the inner world!"

This guy is no other person, Yang Shitou, a servant from Hengwu Bookstore. Looking at this slave, he hasn't seen him for only half a month, and his complexion has become very different. He is no longer wearing a linen jacket. Today he has changed into a silk shirt and a pair of white soap boots on his feet. He looks much more energetic and generous.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't this Yang Shitou? Okay, I'll go with you today and see what your kid has to do!"

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

He raised his whip and the carriage followed Xinchenghe Street and headed straight to the shore of Slender West Lake in the city.

The horse took a brisk step, Yang Shitou raised his whip and hummed the little song excitedly.

Lu Zheng is really his nobleman. Because of Lu Zheng, he learned the origin of the manuscript of "Journey to the West". Recently, Hengwu Bookstore's "Journey to the West" sold all over the city, and it was expensive in Luoyang. This made Gu Zhilun, the owner of Hengwu Bookstore, so much that Chen Changwen, the owner of Qingya Bookstore, was also worried.

Chen Changwen found Yang Shitou, and without saying a word, he gave him a reward of ten taels of silver, and then gave him another two taels of silver a month. This wage was four times that of his Hengwu Bookstore, so Yang Shitou naturally went to Qingya Bookstore.

Chen Changwen also promised him that if Yang Shitou could invite Lu Zheng, he could give Yang Shitou a few dozen taels of silver! Now that Lu Zheng has already gotten on the carriage and has received the reward again, how could Yang Shitou be unhappy?

This time, Yang Shitou had already thought about it and immediately bought a few acres of land in his hometown, and then renovated the house in his hometown. With land and houses, he had a settlement and marriage. The poor days of the Yang family were finally over.

Mr. Lu Zheng is a scholar and is a simple and simple person. Chen Changwen must have a way to get the remaining manuscripts in his hands. If Yang Shitou made this transaction, he might have more rewards!

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

This is Lu Zheng’s first time to visit the Shrimp West Lake pleasure boat. At this time, the lights are on, and the Shrimp West Lake area is extremely lively.

Scholars, officials, young men, merchants, and even peddlers and barons gathered here. The lights were brightly lit on the pleasure boat, and the girls and beautiful people were all welcomed at the bow of the boat, and they were so lively.

On the lake, the sound of silk and bamboo occasionally sounds, and the ethereal songs make people even more imaginative.

Yang Shitou led the way in front, and several people boarded a pleasure boat called "Tingyu Pavilion". Lu Zheng got up to the bow of the boat, and the madam immediately smiled and said, "Oh, this young man is so nervous. Today I don't know which pretty sister is lucky. Young master, our "Tingyu Pavilion" Miss Xuanxuan..."

"Go, go! Who are you, Mr. Lu? He is a guest of Mr. Chen. How can Xuanxuan be worthy of him?"

"Oh, look, I'm really confused! Please, please, Mr. Chen has been waiting for a long time!"

The "Tingyu Pavilion" pleasure boat is three stories high, with exquisite designs, and it looks like a luxury cruise ship. The upper room on the top floor is covered with scarlet Persian carpets. The room is decorated with simple and elegant, without any dusty atmosphere, but it looks like the boudoir of my daughter.

Chen Yuanwai is naturally Chen Changwen. He was about in his early forties, had no need for white face, was wearing Confucian uniforms, and held a folding fan in his hand, which had a very literary and elegant taste.

"Haha, Mr. Lu, I have long admired you for a long time. I am Chen Changwen, and I have long admired you for your talent. I am so honored to see your true face today!" Chen Changwen was extremely polite. Lu Zheng smiled slightly and said:

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

When Lu Zheng said this, Chen Changwen was in a good mood and nodded at Lu Zheng with great appreciation and said, "Since that's the case, I'll call you Brother Zheng! Brother Zheng doesn't know that everyone in Tingyuxuan's "Qilan" also admires you very much!

If not, people like me, how could they have the opportunity to have a banquet at everyone in the boudoir of Qilan, the Qilan, the boudoir of the Tingyu Pavilion!”

Chen Changwen said this very sincerely. Lu Zheng's heart moved slightly. He looked around and saw that there were others there?

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

"I really can't believe that such a stunning masterpiece "Journey to the West" was actually made by Zheng Ge'er. The real young man is promising!"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Chen Shi, "Journey to the West" is not my work, it is a masterpiece of the great scholars of the previous dynasty. I just collected and sorted out some manuscripts. To be honest, I don't have any fame and fortune. For me, the first thing I need to study hard in my heart and get fame as soon as possible."
