C11 Hengwu Book Workshop!

The lady on the Xincheng River's pleasure boat was naturally not a virtuous woman, nor was he as bold as he was. This was the first time the little girl pushed open the window but did not dare to 'tease' Lu Zheng.

He still remembered that day when the spring sun was bright and the Xincheng River was shrouded in mist. The little girl had woken up early, just like today, to open the window, only to see a pair of eyes staring straight at her. That day, the cruise liner docked at the shore, and the distance between the two of them was only five to six feet.

The two of them looked at each other. Even the girl who had grown up in the dust couldn't help but blush under such a hasty situation.

Of course, Lu Zheng would not be embarrassed. Seeing a beauty, he would not even have the time to be happy. How would he be embarrassed? She immediately raised her hand and smiled. Then, she called out to the girl, "Hey!"

Feeling teased, the little girl splashed a bucket of water from the window while Lu Zheng retreated happily.

Afterwards, Lu Zheng would come to the Hengwu Book Workshop every day and the cruise liner would be there every day. Lu Zheng would visit the Xincheng River every day and the little girl would splash water every day, but there wasn't much enmity left.

The next morning, while his sisters were sleeping, the little girl secretly teased the young master of a wealthy family, yet she was in a good mood for the day.

He went to Bookshop and browsed through a dictionary for a while before memorizing 'Enlightenment of the Sound'. This book was easy to memorize, the key point was that there were no special characters written on it. Lu Zheng's physical age was not more than thirteen or fourteen years old, this was the time his memory was at its best.

"Cloud versus rain, snow versus wind, evening versus clear sky …." There was a rhyme in every sentence.

The Bookshop servant Yang Shitou came over with a smile on his face and bowed politely, "Young Master Lu, our boss has arrived!"

With a "Oh", Lu Zheng came back to his senses and waved at Qi Biao who was behind him. Qi Biao secretly gritted his teeth as he took out a handful of money from his backpack and stuffed it into Yang Shitou's hands.

"Sigh, very good. Young master, you are such a great talent, you should study the great ancestor version. I will immediately wrap it up for you!" Yang Shitou happily took out a book of commentaries, but before he left, he couldn't help but look at Ying Er with her eyeballs sliding across her body.

"Tsk tsk, this little girl is really pretty. She's even more luxurious than a young miss from a rich family!" Yang Shitou sighed in his heart, the admiration in his heart was indescribable.

Ying Er's mood today was much better than a few days ago. When she heard that Yang Shitou had flattered Lu Zheng, she did not feel particularly uncomfortable either. Just now, she had read another passage of《 West Side Book》.

The owner of the Bookshop was surnamed Gu, and was called Gu Zhilun. She was a little over forty years old, and had a lot of books in the Hengwu Book Workshop, and was known as the number one Bookshop, making him a famous merchant in Yangzhou. Although she could not compare to the Zhang family, she was still a well-known figure in Yangzhou.

The key to this question was their surnames, Lu Zheng and Gu Zhilun were surnamed Lu, where was the relationship?

It turned out that the Jiangnan Four Great Clans s were respectively the Ying Tian Palace's Gu Family, the Jiangning's Lu Family, the Yangzhou Mansion's Zhang Family, and the An Qing Palace's Chen Family.

Gu Zhilun and Lu Zheng had met, if they were to announce their families, the two families would be at ease with each other, and this was the relationship between their surnames.

Of course, neither of them mentioned their family name, Lu Zheng did not announce his family name, but with Gu Zhilun's sharp eyes of a businessman, how could he not recognize the girl from the Zhang Family, the richest family in Yangzhou? Combined with the relationship between the Lu family and the Zhang family, with Lu Zheng being so ostentatious in the Zhang family, was there even a need to reveal his identity?

On the other hand, if Gu Zhilun could really get involved with the relationship between the Ying Tian Palace and the Gu Family, how would he be able to stay in Yangzhou to do business? The Duke of Gu's household was not a Royal Merchant like the Zhang family. They were truly an elegant family, and the Gu family was the head of the Jiangnan Four Great Clans.

One was the young master of the Lu family, the other was a branch member of the Gu family.

Furthermore, despite his young age, Lu Zheng's speech was not ordinary. When it came to poetry, there was always something surprising about it.

Gu Zhilun had an Elementary Scholar status after all. While he was chatting with Lu Zheng, Gu Zhilun still felt that he could not get to know Lu Zheng's background. This way, the impression Lu Zheng left on him would naturally become more and more extraordinary.

"Uncle Gu Shi! How have you been! I heard that you've gone to reply to the heavens these past few days. Did you bring back a lot of good books? " Lu Zheng bowed towards Gu Zhilun from afar, calling him Uncle, causing Gu Zhilun to feel extremely comfortable.

Gu Zhilun was also wearing a long robe. He waved his hand and said, "Spring Fragrance, quickly serve Zheng Geer some tea! This time, I did bring back the book, but this Before the rain is the real quality, I've already asked someone to wrap a few liang of it for you. You take it back to have a taste, this is the smell of our Yingtian Jiangning! "

Gu Zhilun was so polite, Lu Zheng immediately thanked him and drank his tea. Gu Zhilun said: "Zheng Geer, this time I've searched the library and did not see any books like 'Journey to the West', 'Dream of the Red Chamber' and 'Three Kingdoms' that you mentioned. Sigh, last time when I heard you mention these books, I was filled with longing, but unfortunately I could not find them!"

"Huh?" Lu Zheng was startled, "Can't find it? "Then does the 'Love Monk Record' and 'Story of the Stone' have them?"

Gu Zhilun shook his head, and said: "Zheng Geer, I have been dealing with books for the rest of my life, but you really do not have these, if there is, how can I not get hold of it?"

Gu Zhilun's face was filled with regret. When he had chatted with Lu Zheng earlier, Lu Zheng had asked him for some information about the four great books, so naturally, he was unable to avoid mentioning them. At that time, Lu Zheng had casually mentioned them as well, because he did not see any of them in the Bookshop. He casually stated the titles of the books, just to show that it was not that he did not want to buy a book, but that the book Hengwu Book Workshop he wanted to buy did not have one!

He did not expect Gu Zhilun to take this matter seriously, once he asked about the contents of the books, Lu Zheng casually mentioned some of the contents of the books, which caused Gu Zhilun to immediately attach great importance to it. As a bookseller, he could immediately tell what a best-seller was.

If the books that Lu Zheng spoke of really existed, they would definitely be extremely popular books. He immediately decided to go to Ying Tian's bookstore and look for information about them, but to no avail.

In his heart, Lu Zheng was also slightly surprised at this result. There were books like "Journey to the West" and "Peach Blossom Fan", so why weren't there "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms"? Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he was unable to clear his mind at the moment, so he changed the subject.

After chatting with Gu Zhilun for a while longer, when it was almost time for lunch, he stood up to take his leave.

Lu Zheng was prepared to ask Qi Biao to pay him, but Gu Zhilun came over from behind and laughed, "Zheng Geer, for you to be able to see my version is an honor to our Bookshop. If you take out a book, how can I let you spend it?

I told Stone to give you all four books from the Ancestor version, just treat it as a token of my appreciation, don't reject it! "

"Ah?" He was surprised for a moment, but he was very happy, so he couldn't show it on his face. He then bowed and said, "The elder has bestowed it to me, I dare not refuse!" "I will work diligently in my studies. I won't let Shifu down in trying to persuade me to study!"

His hand stroked his beard, and said: "Zheng Geer, from now on, don't hesitate to come to my Hengwu Book Workshop, and take whatever book you want to read. Even though I, your uncle, am only a merchant, I am still the seed that likes to read books the most.

In the future, when you obtain the title of the Zheng Geer Golden Ranking, even I, Uncle Shi, will feel deeply honored and disgraced … "

Lu Zheng was speechless, the people of this era were too straightforward. Not only could he study for free, he could even buy books for free?

Lu Zheng had an impulse to take "Xinde Dictionary" and "Twenty-Four History", then to take the related books on the scientific examination, as well as the five classics and the like. There was a place to rent a horse carriage from outside, so he directly rented a horse carriage to bring all the books back.

However, impulse is only impulse after all. Lu Zheng's face was calm and steady as he repeatedly thanked them but did not seem to be moved. After pondering for a moment, he changed the subject and said:

"Uncle treats me like this, and I'm also open with Uncle. The Journey to the West and the Three Kingdoms that I mentioned do have their own books. After a few days, someone will send someone to find out more about them.

"That's great, if it's really true, my Hengwu Book Workshop cannot fall behind!"

Gu Zhilun personally saw Lu Zheng to the entrance of Bookshop. The two said their goodbyes, it was still drizzling outside with Little Rain, Ying Er was holding onto an oil-paper umbrella, and Qi Biao followed behind them. The two of them disappeared into the fog-like rain.

Gu Zhilun gazed in the direction that Lu Zheng had disappeared in, and after a long while, he muttered: "This child is definitely not someone who is in the water! A Lu Family bastard son had been sent to Yangzhou by the matriarch in jealousy and hatred, but he had his own way of survival. "Unexpectedly, it's really hard to come by!"

Other than going to Ying Tian to look for the books, Gu Zhilun had also secretly asked about Lu Zheng's background.

Lu Zheng was a Young Master who had just left the Residence of Lu, but he was born a concubine and was unfavored by his mistress.

Lu Zheng's identity was not false, but considering Lu Zheng's circumstances, he should be living a miserable life in Yangzhou. However, looking at Lu Zheng's demeanor, he was being followed by the Zhang Family's First Class big girl. He usually used the style of a Young Master, his freedom of entry and exit was not restricted, how could he get along with the Zhang Family? Gu Zhilun could only guess that Lu Zheng's ability was indeed not ordinary.

On the other hand, Lu Zheng had returned with great rewards today. A set of four books costed more than twenty taels of silver and he had obtained it without spending a single cent. Furthermore, with a teacher like Ying Er, Lu Zheng would be able to read four books soon!
