Traveling through ancient times and marrying a ruffian

Chapter 30

"Have you heard? A few days ago, the county government arrested a group of salt smugglers." After eating, Shen Mumu went to the bookstore, planning to discuss with the shopkeeper about selling books.She didn't come early, but there seemed to be no customers in the bookstore. The guy who greeted her yesterday was chatting outside, surrounded by a group of men.The conversation was so lively that no one noticed her, and she didn't make a sound.

"Really?" "Impossible? Why haven't we heard of it?" The listeners questioned.

"Can it be fake? My young master's family is doing business in the county. When I came back yesterday, it was said that it was spread all over the county. It seems that this matter has something to do with the people of our Chashu Town." The man finished speaking. , raised his chin, a little proud.Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the onlookers no longer doubted the authenticity of the matter, and asked all kinds of questions.

"The crime of selling salt is not small, why do people still do it?" "What does this person have to do with selling salt in Chashu Town?" "Hey, people nowadays are really doing everything for money. Do it, smuggle salt, but you will be beheaded!"

"Hey, that guy is making money. He's going to kill the daring and starve the cowardly. There are a lot of people who think like this. Let me tell you..." The guys around seemed satisfied with the attitude of the onlookers, and expressed their opinions loudly.

Before he finished speaking, there was a soft cough from inside, "Ah Fu, is there a guest?" The voice was gentle.The buddy's gossip stopped abruptly, he touched his nose embarrassingly, stuck out his tongue at the gossip people around him, turned around and said to the young man who came behind him: "Young master."

The person who came was a handsome young man in his early 20s, wearing a blue satin gown.There was no answer, and he glanced at the man with a broken mouth with his usual expression. The man forgot to bend over to him, and trotted in.The rest of the crowd dispersed when they saw that the gossip center had left.When they left, Shen Mumu standing behind them was exposed.

"Girl, do you want to buy something? Please come in." The young man is discerning, seeing that Shen Mumu has not left, he politely comes up to greet her.

Shen Mumu frowned slightly, she was wearing a woman's bun, people with common sense should know that she was married and called her madam, and this person opened his mouth as a girl.Considering that there might be cooperation in the future, she thought about it, and explained: "Young master, the little lady is married." The implication is that you should call me madam, not girl.

Sun Siyuan was a little surprised that the pretty woman in front of her spoke just such a sentence.He is a businessman, and it is essential to observe his words and demeanor. Naturally, he has already seen that the visitor is married.If you are a businessman, you have your own way of doing business, but for all women, especially older women, the younger you call, the happier they are.Once they are happy, everything is easy to discuss, he has always pursued this truth.

Usually it is always going against the odds, but today it hit a wall.After all, he is a businessman with a thick skin, and he was not too embarrassed to be corrected in person. He smiled and apologized: "I was negligent, madam, please come inside."

"Young master, I came here yesterday, and your buddy must have mentioned it to you."

When Sun Siyuan heard this, his expression straightened up immediately, "Yes, the man said this, I wonder if Madam came here today, did she bring a sample?" The man said that a customer was coming to sell books, and he made a special trip today The one who was waiting for this guest was just, unexpectedly, it was a woman.

"Well, of course I brought it." Shen Mumu gestured to the schoolbag in her hand, which was handmade by her.Sun Siyuan's eyes stayed on her bag for a short while, and then moved away quickly, leading Shen Mumu to go upstairs to the private room, "So, Ma'am, please go upstairs and let me take a look at the samples."

While sipping tea quietly, Shen Mumu leisurely looked at the crowd downstairs.It was originally a boring pastime, but let her see an acquaintance: Jin Jinyu.With a dark face, Huang Jinyu was pulling a young woman's hair and crossing the street cursing.Shen Mumu listened intently for a while, to the effect that this woman, together with the men outside, sold the antique calligraphy and paintings in Huang Jinyu's house.They also found fake ones and hung them up to fool people.Huang Jinyu's father was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. Huang Jinyu was going to drag her to report to the police.

Huang Jinyu was probably furious, she pulled the woman's hair with one hand, and slapped her with the other, without looking at her feet.After walking for a while, there were some soybeans scattered on the road, but he didn't pay attention to them. He stepped on them and fell a bit of shit.He fell, and the person he was holding fell on his back, causing Jin Yu to scream like a pig being killed.

When he raised his head, there were still some unknown objects on his face. Looking at the big puddle on the ground, it should be a donkey~~ Huang Jinyu is also really stupid. After struggling to get up, he wiped his face with his hand to kill him He leaned up to his nose and smelled it, retching and out of breath.The onlookers were amused to fall forward and backward.

Shen Mumu couldn't help but chuckled a little, seeing the young man who had been buried in his book looking at her, only to realize that the occasion was not right, so he hurriedly picked up the tea and took a sip to conceal it.

The story the woman brought was very interesting, and Sun Siyuan was fascinated by it. He heard the noise outside, but he was not willing to look up.When he heard the woman's laughter, he had just finished watching.

The woman's short-lived smile just hit his eyes, very mellow, like clear wine, intoxicating.As soon as the morning sun came out, a beam of light came in from the open window and fell on her face. The white and clean face seemed to be able to see through the light, and he could even clearly see the fine hairs on the woman's face.

He still doesn't know that this scene will often appear in his dreams for many years to come.

He silently looked away and started to talk about business, "The story is a good one, but it's not complete. What Madam brought over today is only part of it, right?"

"Come here today, I don't know if we can negotiate, so I only took part of it. If the price is right, I will keep the part in your hand, and you will pay me half of the money. The rest will be handed over The money is delivered with one hand." Just kidding, if the deal fails in the end, you know the storyline, and you go to publish it yourself, who am I to cry to.

"We can buy stories and books, but one or two books are not easy to sell. The current story books are not easy to sell either. Look, at this price..." Sun Siyuan pondered.

"Young master, let's not talk dark words. Before I came, I also went to understand the market. You just ask the price. If it is fair, we will make a deal. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter." It means that I know the market, but I don't say the price. .You make an offer first, and I'll see your sincerity.It doesn't matter if you can't make it here, I don't care, there is no place to sell a good story.

"Okay, Madam is a straightforward person, so I'll bid. The storybook is 50 taels, and the picture is 30 taels." The young man gave the price he thought was appropriate, and after looking at Shen Mumu's face, he said: "I am dissatisfied with Madam, you This story is a good one. It’s just that I’m not well-known, and I have to spend money to make a name in the early stage. The price is too high, and I don’t make money.”

"The story book is 100 taels, and the book is 80 taels. If the first cooperation is happy, I am willing to sell the stories and books in the future. In addition, once the deal is completed, I only have one request, and the signature cannot be changed. What else do you think? Sell, how much to sell, how many years to sell, I will not interfere again." Shen Mumu did inquire about the market before coming, and knew that the price given by the young man was a fair price.At the same time, she also knew that the price was far from the young man's bottom line, so she finished the conditions in one breath, drank tea quietly, and waited for a reply.

As a result, Shen Mumu got his wish.Afterwards, the two drew up the content of the contract in detail, signed their names, and the agreement was reached.

Things went smoothly unexpectedly, Shen Mumu was very happy.
