"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that, I mean, now that the lantern has been taken away by the patriarch, it's a blessing for your old man, don't feel lost." I did that for your own good, lest you get into trouble with that squire. ”

Meng Qing has his own rhetoric.

A faint smile appeared on Su Xi's face, and he raised his eyebrows and asked Meng Qing: "Why, you are so active in this matter, is it possible that you don't have the slightest selfishness?" ”

Looking at Meng Qing's hesitant and stunned appearance, Su Xi knew that he was right, and he also hit what Meng Qing thought in his heart.

With this work, if it is really appreciated by the patriarch, then Meng Qing's painting skills have been affirmed by the patriarch, and this affirmation is tantamount to what kind of expert association has been recognized in modern times and what kind of certificate has been issued, and more people will come to Meng Qing to paint in the future, and his price will also increase.

What a shrewd artist.

"Old man, if you don't look like this, I and the other three painters don't need any money, so let's help you." Meng Qing was seen through his thoughts, and simply said to Su Xi like this.

These words are exactly what Su Xi meant, this is what she was waiting for, and she nodded without hesitation: "Words count!" ”

When he was about to leave, Su Xi found that the villagers around him were looking at him with envy, as if they were very longing for the scene just now.

Meng Qing explained to her: "In Wu Village, the lanterns that can be seen by the patriarch will be hung in the patriarch's mansion in the future, which is an extremely glorious thing, and everyone is looking forward to their lanterns being favored by the patriarch." And just now, the patriarch took away your twenty-eight lanterns, which is a big thing to glorify the ancestors, and everyone is not only envious of you, it is simply a five-body throw of admiration. ”

I see, it turned out to be such a great honor, no wonder Meng Qing would give the lantern to the patriarch's attendant without thinking, he himself is a painter, participated in such a big project, was appreciated by the patriarch, and naturally gave his ancestors and ancestors a long face.

Glorious lintel? What a high-end and high-grade word, it is very stressful to listen to.

Su Xi smiled "hehe", raised his leg through the crowd that seemed to be glued to him, and returned to the inn.

People's big mouth is not born, but infected, you don't know what others know, it seems that you have a narrow cognition, what others don't know, you know but don't say, it seems that you are too unproductive, so, the big mouth was born.

The people in the inn all knew that the twenty-eight lamps that the patriarch took off were all Su Xi's, that envy, since Su Xi entered the inn, the admiration was endless, and some people came specially after learning about Su Xi's place of residence.

Those who had expressed sympathy and pity for Su Xi's plight earlier now looked at Su Xi with admiration and envy, and involuntarily leaned in front of Su Xi.

"It's really good luck to hear that your old lantern was taken away by the patriarch." Some people said this, and they heard that person's envy and jealousy of Su Xi, thinking that Su Xi's lantern could be taken away by the patriarch, relying on all luck.

And only Su Xi himself knows that luck or anything is under the premise of your efforts. After all, in modern times, he is also a veteran of business, in charge of such a large enterprise, it is precisely because of his experience that he has been selected, from being selected, to the person who picks others, Su Xi understands that if you want to let luck and opportunity choose you, then you must have the talent that can support luck and opportunity, otherwise, even if you have good luck, your talent is not enough to hold up, you can only let good luck and good opportunities slip away in vain, they will not stay for you, and they will not give you time to prepare.

Compared to Su Xi, the other people's lanterns were a little perfunctory, because they never dared to think that the patriarch would stop because of the lanterns and take away their lanterns, which they had never thought about.

Some things should always be after thinking about them, after you have courage and courage, or if you have enough ambition and low hopes, to push you forward, so that you can be like a fish in water in the later situation, and will not let yourself be too difficult and difficult.

And Su Xi's starting point is to see Jing Hao, compared to other ambitions and valley hopes, this is more real and more motivated for Su Xi.

Therefore, in the face of such comments, Su Xi had no choice but to ignore them.

More people are full of praise for Su Xi.

Su Xi thanked everyone, found a reason to feel unwell, and finally refused everyone's congratulations and went into the guest room.

Everything, just wait for the next news.

If the patriarch is interested in the follow-up of the story, or if he really likes this form of storytelling, he will definitely send someone to find him.

Things went much smoother than Su Xi thought, and early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of the shopkeeper outside, looking very anxious.

Su Xi was very nervous last night, and he stayed up late, very tired, and lazily asked the shopkeeper a little impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

I only heard the shopkeeper say anxiously: "Uncle Su, the patriarch's personal guards are here, saying that they are looking for you and taking you to the patriarch's mansion!" ”

As soon as Su Xi heard this, a bounce bounced off the bed, he was stunned for a moment, and then pinched his hand fiercely, grinned in pain, confirmed that this was true, and hurriedly said to the other party: "I know, you let those people wait for a while, I will clean up myself a little and go out immediately." ”

"Hey, you have to hurry up."

Su Xi hurriedly began to disguise his face, which was taught to him by the old man who disguised himself. Said it was for her safety.

Now that I think about it, that old man is quite good, except for a little love of money.

However, if there is no him, I am afraid that I am a girl's family, and I don't know how many unimaginable tribulations I will have to go through along the way.

After the neat disguise was completed, at the request of the pro-guards, Su Xi simply packed up a small baggage, and sat in the carriage brought by the pro-guards under the envious eyes of the shopkeepers.

Su Xi was thinking all the way, this patriarch is really a diligent person, or rather, a very curious person, otherwise, how could he come to find someone early in the morning.
