Back to 11 years old

The middle-aged man carefully read all six books. He didn't dare to breathe while he was reading. He was afraid that the sound of his breathing would be a little louder, and the pages would be brittle. He closed the book and put it away carefully. After coming down, he asked in a harmonious voice, "What's your surname, little friend?"

Judging by his posture, He Lin also knew that these six books were not ordinary goods, and judging by the appearance of this middle-aged man, it was obvious that he did not like to deceive others, so he said softly: "My surname is He, Call He Lin!"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and then said: "That's right, these six volumes are indeed copies of several volumes in the Yongle Canon. They were copied by a Hanlin of the Imperial Academy during the Jiajing period and given to a classmate named He. , that should be the ancestor of your family. I don’t hide from you, most of the Yongle Canon is lost. The content of these six volumes is indeed a few volumes that did not exist in the world before, and they are consecutive volumes. Therefore, the academic value It's very high, but it's a pity that the Hanlin who transcribed it is not a famous figure in later generations, so when the price is calculated, it will naturally have a lot of discount!"

When he said this, the person next to him was also surprised: "Old Zhou, is what you said true? Is this really a copy of the Yongle Canon?" As he spoke, he took a copy and flipped through it.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Eight||nine is not far from ten!"

He Lin pursed his lips, and then asked, "Boss, how much is that?"

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and calculated, and finally said: "In terms of academic value, this can be said to be a priceless treasure, but this is not the original, nor is it the manuscript re-transcribed by the imperial court during the Jiajing period, it is just a folk manuscript. That's all, so, 60 for one copy, [-] for six copies, is the highest price I can offer!"

He Lin's heart was beating so hard that it was about to pop out of his throat. When he was a salesman, he signed millions of orders, but none of them belonged to him. He only got a few points from it. What's more, it's only in the 90s now, when the per capita monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan, 60 is really an astronomical figure, and He Lin doesn't want to bargain any more, he doesn't understand what's going on here , even if the quotation of this middle-aged man is full of water, but people are expensive and contented. With so much money, even if he does nothing in the future and just buys a house, he will be able to live comfortably in the future.Therefore, He Lin nodded quickly, and then said: "That's fine, let's just pay this price!"

The middle-aged man was very cheerful when he saw He Lin, and he also smiled. The price sounds high, but their family has a long history, and they also have a lot of connections in the cultural circle. After he operates these books, he can double them by changing hands. Or collect it yourself, and wait for the appreciation in the future to make a steady profit.

When He Lin returned, he carried a bank card in his pocket, which is relatively rare these days, and 2000 yuan in cash.Boss Zhou of Jubaoxuan was very thoughtful. Knowing that he was the only one left in his family, he helped him get a bank card at the bank, transferred the account, and withdrew the money, and treated him to lunch , Has been sent to the train station before giving up.

Because He Lin didn't have an ID card, and he didn't bring his account book, and the bank card he applied for was an anonymous one, which wasn't very safe. I can't take it out.

When it came to the household registration book, He Lin gritted his teeth again. In his previous life, he had been a black householder for a period of time. Originally, after He Lin was born, according to the rules these days, the household registration was naturally under the name of the head of the household, that is, He Aiguo, but He Aiguo later moved his household registration away, but it was impossible to bring Lin Hong and He Lin with him. He Lin wanted to go out to work later. When he applied for his ID card, he found out that his household registration had been given by He Aiguo. sold out.Fortunately, the household registration management was not strict at that time, and He Lin was in a special situation. With the help of the village cadres, it was considered that the household registration was restored and the ID card was reapplied.He Lin reckoned that his household registration would be gone by now, and it seemed that after returning home, he had to go to the police station first to reapply for a household registration.

No one would believe that a skinny half-grown child had a huge sum of money in his arms, so He Lin returned safely, and it was already dark when he returned to town on the last minibus that came back from the city. .Lin Cheng was waiting anxiously at the crossroads in the town, his neck stretched out, afraid that he might miss it with his nephew. He didn't know until he got off work that He Lin went to the city alone. He was worried. He didn't even eat dinner, so he rushed to the town and guarded the intersection. The last car from the county drove away without seeing He Lin. He almost didn't call the police to say that his nephew was missing. From the people in the town, it was known that He Lin had gone to the city.

Seeing He Lin getting off the minibus at this moment, he was angry and anxious, and quickly stepped forward to hold He Lin: "You child, don't you know if you want to go to the city and tell me? What's the point of delaying a day's work?" , if there is something wrong with you, as an uncle, how should I explain to your||mom! Also, didn’t you say that you are going to the county seat, why did you go to the city?”

He Lin scratched his head, not knowing what to say. It took him a long time before he said, "Uncle, I just want to go to the city and see if I can learn some skills to make a living!" There are a lot of ideas, but there are not many suitable for his age. Doing business is not an easy task. He also wants to go to school. At this moment, it's weekends or weekends and weekends. How can I spare much time for business? , and there are only so many people in the town, and the spending power is limited. If he goes to the city, he is small and can't grab the land. It will be a lot of trouble at that time, so he hasn't made up his mind until now.Of course, this is also because he already has a bottom line in his heart. With 60 in his pocket, the bank interest is ten points these days, and the interest is enough for him to live on. However, the money will become more and more It's worthless, put this money in the bank, and when he graduates from college, he won't have that much purchasing power.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng felt like a deflated ball. He had nothing to say. He had limited ability. He worked in a brick factory every day, but he only earned seven or eight dollars. If you can’t do it, you can only earn one or two thousand a year. The family of three can’t even eat a few meals of meat throughout the year, but the money is still not enough. How can you tell that you don’t want to think about it. What’s the matter, uncle Take the word of the master.This is the case for poor people and short-term ambitions. Thinking about it this way, Lin Cheng also complained to Lin Hong, the eldest sister. Your death is a one-and-done thing, but what do you ask your son to do?How will such a big child live in the future?

Lin Cheng dragged He Lin to the village with a dull head, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice: "Anyway, let's go back to eat first, and we will talk about the future things later!"

He Lin nodded, carrying his bag, and went back to Hejiawan with Lin Cheng.
