【10】Jinse Resentment 7 He is an upright boy (3 more)
"Oh..." Youmeng was happy as soon as she heard this, making a sarcastic sound. She squinted her eyes and looked at him with a wicked smile, "I can't tell, you are still a talented person from the tomb robber family? Why don't you say that masters are among the people, right?"
He was so uncomfortable that he turned his head and refused to look at her, and hugged his knees in a frustration. "Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. Later, my great-grandfather washed his hands. Since my grandfather's generation, his descendants have started to study..." He explained with a crackling explanation, "I know this book is valuable, but those merchants full of money are snobbish and treacherous. I may not be able to exchange it for a pawn shop for it, and it will be wasted in vain. Then I thought I could come to the Confucian Museum to try my luck. I hope that a literati who likes to collect books and knows goods will buy it. It is not considered a secret bet, but those people here... tsk, they are all a bunch of candids! Alas..."
Seeing the customer who mentioned this, he looked disappointed and disgusted, Youmeng couldn't help but smile again. "Just pretending that what you said is true, how much do you plan to offer?" She raised her eyebrows, "Gold ten thousand taels?"
He hesitated and thought for a while. "I'm not greedy either, I just want 500 taels..." As soon as I bumped into Youmeng's little smile, I thought she didn't believe it, so he suddenly took the book back into his arms and emphasized his tone, "This is my family heirloom! I really can't sell it at a low price!"
"Since it is a family heirloom, why are you willing to sell it out?"
He lowered his head in embarrassment and seemed helpless: "Because I urgently need some money..."
"What do you want money to do?" Youmeng asked, "Is my family sick? Life-saving money?"
"No, my parents have already died, and I am the only one alone." He is really a straightforward child. He said whatever he had, and did not know how to hide or turn around at all, which made Youmeng very interesting. "I want to realize my ideal, that's a huge expense."
"You are a poor scholar. Your so-called ideal is nothing more than to get a fame and glorify your family." Youmeng pretended to nodded and sighed, "Of course, the career of the government is long, and many of them need to be managed. I understand. Are you worried that you will not be able to make a breakthrough if you have no way out, so you want to raise money and respect a high-ranking official?"
He wanted to refute, but he swallowed it upset when he spoke: "I don't know how to explain it to you. Anyway, they all said that I was a lunatic after hearing it, and I was too lazy to say it anymore. Just think whatever you want."
You Meng saw his free and easy attitude of waving his hands, and she smiled: "You are so interesting. You don't know how to say more good things to please in front of you?"
Understanding what she said, his eyes suddenly shone at her: "You want to buy my book?"
"I really like "The Two Capitals Fu". I see you are so real and I am happy to help you." Youmeng suddenly felt troubled after laughing halfway through, "It's just that I came out casually and didn't bring so much money on me... Can I take credit?"
After hearing this, he wanted to roll his eyes and stare at her to death! He thought to himself that this person was playing tricks on him as a monkey?
Of course, Youmeng was just joking with him, and then he seriously suggested: "How about this, you go home with me, I asked someone to withdraw money to you, you can pay the price you offer a little. We will pay the money and deliver the goods at the same time. How about it?"
He was a little moved, but after seeing her for a moment, he lowered his head and refused to speak for a long time.
