After seeing the two people's reactions, Shen Shenyan was truly speechless.
"Shopkeeper Sun, you are a scholar and a businessman. Let's discuss it."
Shen Shenyan put on a harmless smile and quietly touched her pocket. Fortunately, she was prepared.
"This time we have an employment relationship. I get paid and you print. How about we split the money earned from the book 30/70? I get 70% and you get 30%."
This was a sure-profit deal for him. Even if the book wasn't sold, he still made a huge profit.
"Miss Shen, please come back. Sun always follows principles in doing things."
Shen Shen said: "Four or six points, you are four and I am six."
"...When will Miss Shen want it?"
Shen Siyan:???
Isn’t there a principle?
Luocao also looked at Shopkeeper Sun in surprise. Shopkeeper Sun was indeed very "principled" and he would never do small business.
Shopkeeper Sun coughed twice and pretended that nothing happened.
"Three hundred copies, I'll pick them up in half a month."
After all, she is not a person of this era, and what she writes cannot be completely in line with their thoughts, so she can only test the waters first.
"Three hundred copies..." Shopkeeper Sun pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on his arm, and after a while he said: "One copy is calculated at seven cents, and three hundred copies is equivalent to 2,100 cents. Wipe off the loose ends, ten taels of silver."
Ten taels of silver? She has converted the prices here. One tael of silver here is about one hundred yuan in modern terms, so ten taels is equivalent to one thousand.
I didn’t expect that pure manual printing in ancient times was so expensive.
"Sure, I'll pick up the book in half a month." Shen Shenyan was also very happy and took a ten tael of silver and handed it to Shopkeeper Sun.
"Miss..." After leaving the bookstore, Xiucao, who had always been silent, couldn't help but speak.
"Huh?" Shen Shenyan was already thinking about her future and didn't notice the irritating expression.
"Miss, how about we stop writing that thing?"
I was thinking about how to express it tactfully. It would be fine if Nian Hua was there. Although she was chattering on weekdays, she was really there when something happened.
Shen Shenyan knew that Xucao had misunderstood, but she was not in a hurry to explain, smiled mysteriously, and got into the carriage.
"Go to the outskirts of the city." Shen Shenyan called to the driver.
The master and the servant came to a thatched house in the suburbs. The house was very inconspicuous among the thatched houses. It was filled with a dusty smell. It could be seen that no one had lived in it for a long time.
Luocao opened a haystack with his sword, picked out a man and threw him to the ground casually.
Shen Siyan said: "..." Suddenly she felt that she was about to hug her thigh.
Luocao ran outside and found a ladle of water from somewhere, and poured it directly on the man's face. The man woke up immediately because he couldn't bear the stimulation.
"Zhao Jin, tell me everything you know."
With a face as big as a slap in the face, he pretended to be young and mature, and the sword was firmly pressed against Zhao Jin's throat.
Zhao Jin trembled with fright: "Sister-in-law, please don't kill me. I, I know everything. I will tell you everything I know. Please don't kill me."
As he spoke, two more clear tears appeared on his face, mixed with his wet hair, making him look really embarrassed.
"I saw that day, Shen, Shen Taoyi gave money to my elder brother that day, and also gave my elder brother a packet of medicinal powder, and asked my elder brother to put medicine in Miss Shen's wine.
My eldest brother was afraid that something would happen later, so he asked Shen Taoyi to sign a contract, and then handed the contract to me, and no one else knew about it."
Zhao Jin was lying on the ground, his face pale with fear, fearing that the sword would pierce his throat if he didn't stop.
Jaucao handed the contract to Shen Shenyan.
Shen Shenyan took a look and saw that there was the official seal of the Shen family at the signature place. He didn't expect that Zhao Jin, his brother, was also very careful in his work.
"Where's your brother?" Shen Shenyan asked.
Luocao looked at Zhao Jin's trembling look and answered for him: "Zhao Quan is dead. Shen Huaiyuan should have killed him."
Then he looked at Zhao Jin with a sneer: "He is also greedy. He wanted to blackmail Shen Huaiyuan with this contract, but he was discovered by the slave by chance, otherwise the clue might really be cut off."
Sure enough, any way to make a fortune is risky.
Unfortunately, this person met someone who traveled through time while sleeping.
I can only say that my mother opened the door for me, and I am truly unlucky.
"It's done, tie him up and take him to the Yamen."
Shen Shenyan kicked Zhao Jin, but was slightly worried, hoping nothing would happen.
"Why don't you just go back home and confront Shen Huaiyuan?" Luocao asked the question in his mind.
Shen Shenyan flicked his finger on Luocao's forehead with hatred: "You are stupid, no matter how much trouble you make when you go back to the house, it will be the Shen family's business behind closed doors. Although I am the daughter of the Shen family, After all, Shen Huaiyuan occupies the position of the head of the family. When the time comes that he denies us, where can we find someone to complain about?"
Luocao finally reacted and nodded in agreement.
"Miss is still smart."
Shen Shenyan glanced at her in surprise: "You actually learned how to flatter? Did you learn it from Nian Hua?"
Laocao nodded sincerely, then shook his head quickly: "Nianhua did teach me to say this, but what I said is the truth."
Shen Shenyan smiled where Luo Cao couldn't see her. She still had warmth when she wore it this time.
The Jingzhao Mansion was built in the downtown area of Xicheng City. Shen Shenyan picked up the drumsticks on the drum without hesitation and started playing the drum, causing the people on the side to come and watch.
"The daughter of the people has been wronged. I beg the governor to make the decision for the daughter of the people."
As he spoke, he beat the drum twice more.
After a while, someone came out and shouted: "Who is the drummer?"
Shen Siyan: "Shen Lianyu's daughter Shen Siyan."
"Why is Shen Siyan?"
"I heard she died and came back to life."
"Who is she trying to sue? Is it Shen Taoyi?"
I don't know who made such a remark, and the voices of the people around me all muted in unison.
Shen Shenyan and the other three were brought into the lobby of the government office. There were two teams of government soldiers standing on both sides, holding sticks as thick as their arms. Standing in the middle, Shen Shenyan felt like he was entering the Hall of Hell. There were rows of yin and yin standing around. Difference.
"Who is in the audience? What grievances are there? Who do you want to sue? Please tell me." As soon as the words fell, the crowd was stunned, and the surrounding atmosphere tightened a lot.
Shen Shenyan was already leaning on Luocao, looking heartbroken.
"Daughter Shen Shenyan, the daughter of Shen Lianyu, the original head of the Shen Mansion, is suing my uncle Shen Huaiyuan today."
As he spoke, he started to cry again.
Jing Zhaoyin: “Why sue?”
Shen Shenyan glanced at Zhao Jin, then took out the contract and handed it to Fu Yin from the Master.
"Reporting to Mr. Fu Yin, I was unfortunately poisoned a few days ago. The doctor was unable to save me, and I unfortunately died."
Hmm, that's a bit scary to say. Shen Shenyan thought about this and continued:
"I never thought that I should not die, but I came back to life. I knew that there was something fishy about my death, so I asked someone to investigate and found out that the arsenic that killed me was actually bought by Zhao Jin's brother Zhao Quan."
After saying this, Shen Shenyan's face was filled with resentment. After calming down, he said: "But Zhao Quan is dead, and I learned from Zhao Jin that it was my uncle who wanted to harm me. The contract is the evidence, and there is me, Shen, on it." The official seal unique to the head of the mansion."
