Shen Ruhui rubbed his nose and said to the owner of the study, "This booklet of mine contains all true news. It is not easy to come by. I want to sell it for thirty taels. I want 70% of it."
The owner of the study hesitated. He would get 30% of the profit, so this deal was a good deal. However, "30 taels, isn't this price a bit high?"
What if those foreign gentlemen think it’s too expensive and don’t buy it?
Shen Ruhui didn't take it seriously. "This booklet even contains preferences and habits. Just find some people to spread the word. There will be no problem of no one buying it."
These outsiders are the ones being ripped off. Every book they sell is a good one, and they make as much money as they can.
If you want to marry a noble lady, but you are not willing to spend even thirty taels, you'd better pack your bags and go back as soon as possible.
The study owner felt a little embarrassed that Mr. Shen was really not suitable for doing business. How could the price be so high? How could those who didn't have much money afford it?
He thought to himself: I have to find a reason to lower the price. After all, the more people buy, the more money I can make.
Looking at Shen Ruhui, he took the booklet and flipped through it. Unexpectedly, Princess Jinyang was also included in the booklet!
There are portraits, hobbies and habits, even what kind of food they like to eat, which restaurant's wine, all written down, and even their preferences for men's appearance and clothing.
My own portrait was printed prominently below, along with my age, likes and dislikes, and what kind of wine I drank. What about a handsome, elegant gentleman in white? At worst, he didn't have a perky butt.
Su Juan frowned slightly, [One hundred taels?]
Su Juan's face turned pale. "That's bullshit. Anyone who believes it is stupid!"
You clutched the booklet tightly, slowed down your pace as you walked out of the palace, and hurried back to kill people.
Gu Yanxin was puzzled, "What do you mean by one hundred taels?"
This Master Shen is truly his God of Wealth!
Outside of the capital, who doesn’t know that your favorite dishes are made by the chef of Dongyue Tower?
Shen Ruhui took it with a smile, "Thank you, Your Highness. If it is lost, I will have wasted a hundred taels of silver."
Su Juan said, "Oh!" "Is the news business of Ruyi Tower so profitable?"
And so on, I wrote a whole eight pages!
Gu Yanxin: "We interrogated him several times and confirmed that he is from the South. Since we lowered our guard at the beginning of the year, we have been hiding in the capital and have always had the opportunity to pass on information."
Su Juan's forehead twitched violently. His intuition was right. He told Pingbo Hou about the bad things several times. Pingbo Hou said that maybe those people had asked about it, after all, Su Juan only went back and forth to a few places.
"Sir, may I lend it to you to have a look?"
Shen Ruhui coughed heavily, but couldn't help asking loudly, "May I ask Your Majesty, is what is written below true?"
Gu Yanxin felt that one hundred taels was not enough. After all, what was written below was true. If she could marry a bad wife for her son, then the one hundred taels would be well worth it.
[Return one hundred taels, I am really desperate for money! ]
The study owner's eyes lit up. What do you mean thirty taels? This should be sold for a hundred taels!
Others have at least one page, but you take up eight pages. This shows that this person knows a lot about you and must be someone close to you.
As the year drew to a close, Su Juan discovered that there was obviously nothing strange around her. First, she frequently met those young men who had participated in the poetry competition in Dongyue Tower, as well as the eldest sons of various noble families in the capital.
Pingbo Hou immediately rolled up his sleeves and went to settle the account with the owner of the study, determined to get his share back no matter what.
I picked up the booklet under the table and flipped it open. It was indeed my book. "Just sell it for eighty taels."
You picked up the booklet and looked at the cover, which looked familiar, but you didn't think much about it, so you slowly chased after the person and returned the item to him.
Ping Bohou felt guilty, but he was still panicked on the surface. "After all, it's the end of the year, business is worse than usual, so I made less money."
Su Juan looked at me with a smile, "Oh, he earns so little, it must be hard for him."
Su Juan kept flipping through the pages. Gu Yanxin suddenly thought of something and wanted to stop her, but it was too late. She had turned to the first few pages.
I actually stole a full ten taels of silver.
Shen Ruhui also said that, and gave the booklet to Su Juan, "I just bought it in the market two days ago. I thought my son is getting old, and it's time to find a suitable marriage."
Su Juan actually believed what I said until you met Shen Ruhui when you left the palace that day and picked up the book that he dropped.
As I ran inside, I shouted to Su Juan, "Don't touch your banknotes under the table! You can come back and clean them up yourself later."
They sway in front of you one by one. No matter where I go, I can meet those people, as if they know me well.
Su Juan: "It was sold outside the study at that time, one hundred taels."
At the beginning of the year, the monarch of the Southern Kingdom died of illness and Chu Guang stepped down. Su Juan had people on guard all the time, not only to prevent spies from the Southern Kingdom from stealing the secrets of Xiao Jin, but especially the border defenses.
Gu Yanxin already felt it was wonderful.
Ping Bohou smiled with a guilty and evil look, "Give him half, give him half, and you give him half."
The matter of the princess choosing a husband has caused a lot of controversy, and rumors are everywhere, but there is no definite news yet.
Su Juan opened the booklet and saw that it was filled with large portraits of noble men from various families in the capital, without any descriptions of their family backgrounds. It was obvious that they were not painted by Marquis Pingbo.
Su Juan gritted her teeth. She had never dreamed that one day her information would be sold like that. It was truly a sin.
Were those days weaker than when I was writing these crappy books?
Booklet! Why did you take my booklet away? It costs one hundred taels!
Just thinking about it makes me happy. Su Juan is really a cash cow. Whoever shakes her will get what she wants.
When Su Juan rushed back home, Pingbo Hou was counting the money he had earned recently. He was very happy and planned to use the money to buy a small house and hire some people to take care of his daily life.
The moment before, Su Juan threw a booklet under the table, "How dare that bastard Pingbo Hou write you off and sell you off! He is really a bad businessman!"
At this moment, Pingbo Hou realized that he had been cheated by the owner of the study!
"Selling it for 100 taels, how dare he make that kind of free money?"
Su Juan nodded, "It would be bad if it was handed out. Recently, news came from the north that the Southern Kingdom has no signs of sending troops to attack Chu, and the King of Han has not yet asked to go to the border to guard."
Seeing this, Shen Ruhui felt that the hundred taels were well worth it. However, after taking two steps, he came back empty-handed and was too slow to chase after Su Juan.
They are either wearing white robes, or holding a paper fan in their hands, or deliberately tightening their waists with belts to make their butts look lifted, or they are running to Baihua Tower to invite you to drink with them by chance.
However, Su Juan put all the banknotes out of her pocket and laughed. Are you still waiting for him to come back?
Su Juan's face turned pale. [No wonder you always run into a group of people wherever you go recently]
The spy planted by the Southern Kingdom in the capital wanted to pretend to be a distinguished guest from outside and take the opportunity to send out the secrets he had obtained, but he was caught by the bad people arranged by Su Juan in advance.
