Chapter 347 Su He Sold His Own Things
Su He's father asked Feng Dayuan to call Su He, he knew what to say to her. Feng Dayuan apologized and went out to the next room to call Su He. He went into the room and quickly repeated what the Ninth Prince said to Su He. Su He's father also repeated what he said to let her know what was going on, and finally said that the Ninth Prince wanted to see her.
Su He took the complete set of Journey to the West that she had written and went with Feng Dayuan. She didn't want to have to deal with the Ninth Prince himself, so she just sold it to him and that was it.
She followed him into the room, took one look at the Ninth Prince, and immediately bowed her head and knelt, saying, "This humble girl Su He pays respects to the Ninth Prince."
In this imperial politics, she had to be careful to avoid getting herself into trouble. She kowtowed to him firmly, thinking that it was just like kneeling in a temple. She kowtowed to the statue like this every time, and it was so devout.
After all, he was the son of the emperor, so it was not shameful for her to kneel down. At least she had seen the prince, which was not an opportunity that ordinary people could have.
The Ninth Prince was also observing Su He. The little girl knelt before him with no panic on her face, waiting quietly for him to speak.
He smiled and said, "You are Su He, the owner of the teahouse. Stand up and talk. Sit down and drink tea together."
Su He stood up to thank him and sat down next to her father. Her father asked her to drink tea first and said to her, "Master Jiu wants to buy your book. When can you finish it?"
Su He took the book from Feng Dayuan and said, "Everything is here. This is a complete book. If you need it, Master Jiu, take it away! I just finished writing this a few days ago, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."
The Ninth Prince looked at the little girl, who was young, smart, and articulate. He smiled and said, "That's great. We can take them with us when we leave. Do you have any other books? If you have any in the future, I can have someone come and get them."
The Ninth Prince continued, "Write me a detailed description of the decorations and furnishings here. I also want a copy of the tea recipe. Calculate the total amount and I will pay you."
Su He's father smiled and said, "Su He, tell the Ninth Prince roughly how much we want to sell these for. You must quote the actual price."
Su He roughly calculated it, considered it again and again, and finally said a number: "Master Jiu, you can read the book I wrote, and you only need to give me fifty taels of silver. I will give you one hundred and fifty taels for the blueprints in the shop. The tea recipe is more expensive, because there are many types of tea, so I will put them together and make it a whole number of five hundred taels. The total of these three items is seven hundred taels of silver. What do you think?"
The Ninth Prince didn't ask for much for the price. For the sake of future business, he ordered his guards to give him a silver note of 800 taels. He handed the silver note to Su He and said, "I'll give you 800 taels to make it a lucky number. I hope we can cooperate again."
He turned around and said to her, "You must write more good stories. You write really well. This is the first time I have said this to a storyteller."
Su He smiled and said, "I don't know either, but when I have an idea, I will definitely write more. Otherwise, when the customers get tired of listening to me, I won't be able to keep them if I don't have a new book."
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "We have an agreement that you will sell us new books if you have any. The shopkeeper from my nearby city will be here soon. You can meet him and come to him if you have any problems in the future."
Su He also nodded in agreement. She couldn't refuse. Since she had started, whatever they had, the Ninth Prince must have as well. Otherwise, why would he spend so much money on it?
