Chapter 27: Master Zhou's Gift of Books

Chapter 27 Mr. Zhou presents a book

Wang Ting has always wanted to speculate on other people's thoughts with good intentions, but he is not naive.

The so-called governor of the city wanted to capture Bai Lingqin at all costs and mobilized official forces. From the perspective of the royal court, it was obvious that he did not have any good intentions.

He only felt a little angry, and beyond that, there seemed to be a deeper layer of doubt surrounding him.

Although he didn't feel too much pressure, Wang Ting still felt some sense of urgency.

"Take a rest and go shopping first. Then I will find an opportunity to go directly to the city lord's office to have a look! I want to see what tricks that guy is playing!"

Fist is the greatest reliance of the royal court. Faced with this extremely obvious conspiracy, in terms of the resources he can mobilize, if he does not use force, he probably won't be able to pull off any tricks in front of the opponent.

Then let the other party have a "cordial exchange" with his iron fist, Wang Ting thought.

As for whether to bring Bai Lingqin with me or not, we will decide when the time comes.

After a little summing up, the two of them walked out of the inn while there was still some time before night. Now, it was time to go to the bookstore.

"It's obviously you who made the provocation first. I just want to buy some things. What's wrong with me?"

However, halfway through the swing, the broom's castration was stopped, and the fist that Wang Ting was about to extend also stopped abruptly.

Wang Ting refuted.

This world does not have the same monopoly on knowledge as Wang Ting imagined in ancient times. As Bai Lingqin said, in the bookstores in the city, in addition to the perennially popular "Four Books and Five Classics", there are other miscellaneous books and storybooks.

The brochures are also on sale.

"Who is the eldest master this week?"

When the boss, who had returned to his counter and was about to be in a daze, heard this question, he inevitably had a little doubt on his face, and then a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.

Bai Lingqin's movements in selecting books were quite neat. Because her purpose was relatively clear, she did not spend much time selecting the books.

This information made Wang Ting's eyes light up, and at the same time, he had more calculations in his mind.

Of course, it is said that they are sold casually, but compared to the expenses of ordinary people, books like this can be regarded as "luxury goods".

He walked to the shelf, looked at the dazzling array of books, pulled Bai Lingqin, who had been following silently, and then put his hand into her palm, indicating that she could choose with her own hands, and at the same time he kept talking.

"Where did you come from, a bumpkin? You don't even recognize the Lord of the City?"

"It seems not very generous to argue with such a child."

"You! You're such a beggar, you really deserve to be dealt with!"

"Food Treasures", "Summary of Nvhong Techniques", "Housekeeping Overview"

"Okay."

"Since I entered your store, I have something to buy. It's better for you to kick people out without saying a word. Didn't you get this business through your sister's marriage?"

Therefore, when a child like Wang Ting, who is not even well-dressed, enters this store, it is even more surprising.

This was a bargain, and Wang Ting had no intention of rejecting it.

"I'm afraid that this poor boy will dirty your eyes if he stays here. If you see dirty things, it will inevitably ruin your mood for the whole day."

The man who was called "Mr. Zhou" listened to the two parties and shook his head.

Hearing this, the young man turned his head.

"Who else can there be? Go, go, don't bother me, pick it up quickly and get out of here!"

"?"

"This is your fault, boss."

Wang Ting took the three books and took a look.

Because Mr. Zhou stopped him before, the boss now doesn't dare to drive people away anymore.

It's true.

"The reason for this is that the boss is wrong. Let's do this. You can choose three books at random in the store and I will pay for them."

Therefore, thanks to this, general bookstores will only be opened in big cities with enough wealthy people. As for places like towns and villages, there may be some, but at least such places did not exist before.

"How dare you do this!"

Obviously, not everyone has a good attitude and is amiable.

When the boss in fine clothes saw Wang Ting walking in from outside, he immediately waved his hand to drive them away.

"You are lucky, little brat, to have met the kind-hearted Mr. Zhou. Hurry up and choose a book and go back to burn incense!"

It's not that Wang Ting is young, after all, it's not like he hasn't seen young masters from rich families going shopping. This boss just simply dislikes Wang Ting's poor appearance.

In fact, if these books were not sealed, with Bai Lingqin's photographic memory, there would be no need to buy them.

Seeing the boss talking like this, the royal court was naturally not very polite. When he opened his mouth, a series of sarcastic words came out of the child's mouth.

Wang Ting's suppressed smile was undoubtedly another mockery. The boss picked up a broom, walked around the counter, and raised his hand to whip it at Wang Ting.

The boss' face froze, and he had no choice but to lower his head and agree.

Seeing that the incident was resolved, the man paid no attention to it and walked out of the store accompanied by the guards.

"I agree."

"Don't say that casually. Could it be that I got it right?"

It was originally just a trash talk to ridicule, but it hit the boss's point. In other words, this person was able to do the bookseller business here because he was really dragging down his married sister or younger sister.

"Look for a fight!"

"City Lord? Is it the Le'an City Lord?"

Then, the young master looked down at the royal court. He couldn't say he was very friendly, he just spoke in a somewhat formulaic tone.

Of course, Bai Lingqin is still invisible.

The boss was startled, then quickly put the broom behind him, bent over, and looked flattering.

Seeing the boss's flushed face, Wang Ting's eyes suddenly became subtle.

"So, the boss is not going to give me face, Mr. Zhou?"

"Scared! Mr. Zhou!"

"Go, go, you little brat, you can't come in here, just go and play!"

Rather, if he entered any store alone, people would inevitably be surprised.

"In that case, I will take the first step, boss, and then it will be credited to my account."

Although he found this boss very annoying, Wang Ting would not miss the opportunity to collect information.

The effect of these words was even better than Wang Ting imagined. To be honest, he really didn't expect that the businessman who opened the shop would be so glass-hearted.

It should cover household chores such as cooking, and is considered a tool book.

The boss didn't bother to look at the specific books he took. Seeing that the numbers matched, he asked Wang Ting to leave quickly.

"Let me find where Mr. Zhou is."

After leaving the bookstore, Wang Ting said to Bai Lingqin.
