Fang Zi'an restrained his smile and sighed: "If you can't talk about it, you can't talk about it, as the saying goes, business can't be benevolent, why should the girl slander me like this." My Zi'an asked himself if he hadn't done anything hurtful to nature and reason, how could he be said to be misbehaving? Did I kill someone or set fire? Or did you steal jade and incense and give it up? It's really inexplicable. I sold my words, this is also a gentleman's way of getting rich, I didn't steal, I didn't rob or hurt anyone, how could I be so unbearable by you? That's it, if you don't want to, I'll record this "Qingyu Case" to you, let's be considered two clear. From then on, the water of the well does not interfere with the water of the river. Where is the study? ”

Fang Zi'an looked around as he spoke, and saw the four treasures of the study room on the small table in the corner, so he went to lay paper and grind ink.

The stairs sounded, and several women rushed upstairs to ask repeatedly, they were summoned by Qin Xiqing's talent and rushed up to pick people up. Qin Xiqing waved her hand, asking them not to act rashly for the time being.

Fang Zi'an quickly sharpened the ink, laid the paper and picked up the pen, dipped it in ink for a little memory, and then put down the pen like a fly, and wrote a poem. After putting down the pen, he bowed to Qin Xiqing, turned around and walked out, and walked away.

Qin Xiqing slowly approached Xiaoji, picked up the paper, and wrote a poem on it:

The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of incense, the sound of the phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns brightly, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, the smile is full of dark fragrance, and the crowd is looking for him thousands of times, and suddenly looks back, but the person is there, and the lights are dim.

Qin Xiqing's eyes flashed, her chest rose and fell, her breathing became rapid, and her hand holding the paper trembled. She turned her head to look down from the long window, and saw Fang Zi'an striding out of the small courtyard under the shade of the trees, and couldn't help but be stunned.

……

Fang Zi'an walked out of the small courtyard quickly, Li Quanzhong waited under the porch outside, and when he saw Fang Zi'an walking out quickly with an unkind face, he stepped forward and said, "Why did you come out so quickly?" ”

Fang Zi'an stood and bowed his hand to Li Quanzhong and said, "Steward Li, thank you for your report today, you have worked hard." ”

Li Quanzhong smiled: "Why did you suddenly become so polite?" What are you seeing Miss Qin for? Why don't you look right? Kicked out? ”

Fang Zi'an didn't answer, and walked briskly along the corridor, he just wanted to leave this place quickly. Today, he actually wanted to borrow a sum of silver, but after seeing Qin Xiqing, he changed his mind. He felt that it might be a good idea to sell a good song for a good price, anyway, Qin Xiqing was not short of silver, so why not do it. However, today he was deeply stung by Qin Xiqing's words. It's not that his pride hurts because he was rejected by a beautiful woman, but he understands something from it. From Qin Xiqing's words and the disdain in his eyes, Fang Zi'an realized something important.

Fang Zi'an didn't think there was anything wrong with carrying these other people's poems and selling them for silver, which was his advantage as a traverser. If someone says that he is cheating the world and stealing his name, Fang Zi'an will fan him with a big mouth and scold him for being stupid. However, Fang Zi'an realized that doing so would only bring short-term benefits to himself, rather than real respect. On the contrary, he is stuck in this method, which leads to his imprisonment and inability to truly forge ahead. What Qin Xiqing said is very right, there are many talented and learned people in the world, and those who make money with this are actually shameful. is like a person like Su Shi, who has written many famous articles through the ages, but he has not become rich because of this. Poetry and essays are a means for him to express his attitude, not a tool for making money. That's why he will be respected by the world. used poetry to make money, which was actually a taboo and lost his character, so he was despised by Qin Xiqing. This is not the era where you came from, everything can be measured in money. This era has its own internal backbone, and I obviously don't realize it.

Therefore, although he said some words in a righteous and stern manner, Fang Zi'an was already vigilant in his heart. If you want to truly gain a foothold in this era, you must have real talent and ability to grasp the pulse of this era, rather than relying entirely on these abnormal means for profit. If you want to open a big restaurant, you have to start with a small noodle restaurant, and you can't think about one step to the sky.

figured out this, which made Fang Zi'an feel relieved. So he didn't hesitate to choose to stop in moderation, and the last words he said were just to save his face. After all, being despised by a beautiful woman is the last thing a man wants to see. And Fang Zi'an's heart was also quite unhappy, he knew that it was a bit reckless to come to Qin Xiqing to get money today, but for some reason, he had only met Qin Xiqing twice, but he felt in his heart that this woman would help him. But the reality is that I think too much.

Fang Zi'an strode through the lobby of Wanchun Garden, and walked out quickly under the unkind gaze of the water girl, Zhao San, Li Si and others. Chunni, who was wandering and waiting under the big tree by the river in front of the door, saw Fang Zi'an come out and hurriedly greeted her.

"Young Master Fang, you're out." Chuniel exclaimed.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Chuniel said: "They didn't embarrass you, I saw you fighting with them." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "That's not true, it's just ...... I didn't get any money. I'm afraid our dream of opening a big restaurant is shattered, and we can only open a small noodle restaurant. ”

Chunni seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly: "It's okay, Fang Gongzi, it's good to open a small noodle restaurant." In fact, what I wanted to tell my son just now is that you can't eat a fat man in one bite. My dad used to say that if you eat as much as you eat on your belly, you will die if you eat too much. When you say that you want to open a noodle restaurant, my father and I are both in favor of it, because that's what we do best. You said to open a big restaurant, what can my father and I do? Even if you get the money and open a restaurant, if you don't do well, you will go out of business. My dad and I don't have the confidence and ability to do a good job. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "You're right, it's that I want to eat a fat man in one bite too much." We have to keep our feet on the ground. Let's go back to Sanyuanfang and discuss with your father about opening a small noodle restaurant, your father is afraid that he will be in a hurry. ”

Chunni smiled and nodded, and the two turned around and were about to leave, when they suddenly saw someone in front of Wanchunyuan shouting, "Fang Gongzi, Fang Gongzi stays." ”

Fang Zi'an looked in surprise, but saw a woman walking briskly from the gate of Wanchun Garden.

"Gongzi Fang stays, Miss Qin asked me to send something to Gongzi." As she spoke, the woman took out a stack of things from her sleeve and handed them over. Fang Zi'an was surprised to find that it was a thick stack of silver tickets.

"This is a thousand taels of silver, my Qin girl said, that poem is worth a thousand taels. She bought. The woman said.

Fang Zi'an looked at the stack of silver tickets but didn't stretch out his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I can't accept this silver, please go back and tell you Miss Qin, two hundred taels of silver and two words, and the money and goods have been cleared." From now on, I don't owe you your Miss Qin's words, and Miss Qin doesn't owe me any money. ”

The woman was stunned and said, "You...... You don't? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Yes, it's not my silver, I can't ask for it, thank you Miss Qin for your kindness for me, I don't need silver." ”

After saying that, Fang Zi'an turned to Chunni and said, "Let's go." ”

Chunni nodded in a daze, and followed Fang Zi'an away, leaving only the woman with a stack of silver tickets in her hand behind like a chicken. For the first time in his life, he saw someone refuse a huge sum of 1,000 taels of silver, which was incredible.

Fang Zi'an and Chunni walked through several long streets, Fang Zi'an was silent thinking about things, and Chunni on the side seemed to be in a good mood, walking briskly and humming a little song.

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "Miss Chunni, I just don't have a thousand taels of silver, and I am very heartbroken." Are you still in the mood to sing a ditty? With that 1,000 taels of silver, our big restaurant can be opened. ”

Chunni blushed and said, "Childe has refused the silver, and now he is saying this again." Anyway, it's the first time I've seen so much silver when I'm so old. One thousand taels. Is this what people say, 'money is like dung'? ”

Fang Zi'an laughed and said, "What do you see money like dung? Why don't I want to take it? Who can't get along with silver? But I hold the silver with hot hands, which is charity, and I don't eat the food that comes from it. ”

Chunni nodded and said, "It's true that people have short hands and soft mouths." I didn't expect Childe to have friends in Wanchun Garden, and he was so rich. Does Childe come here often? That girl named Qin seems to be very good. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Don't get me wrong, you may not believe it, today is the first time I went to Wanchun Garden." ”

Chunni, of course, didn't believe it, and there was a smile on her face. Fang Zi'an said: "Don't look at me with your eyes, if I am a regular visitor, then why won't the gatekeeper let me in?" Why should I fight them? ”

Chunni suddenly scolded herself for being stupid. This is enough to prove that Fang Zi'an has not come. Knowing this, Chunni's mood became even brighter.

"That Miss Qin and I are not friends...... "At that moment, he said again about selling words to Wan Chunyuan as he walked, and only hid the fact that he was expelled from the division by Zhou Junzheng. In fact, Fang Zi'an didn't need to explain this, but for some reason, he didn't want Chunni to misunderstand him, so he said it.

Chunni was even more happy after hearing these things, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Fang Gongzi is really powerful, it turns out that words can also make money like this, why doesn't Gongzi keep selling words?" It's much better than opening a noodle shop. ”

Fang Zi'an didn't know how to explain to her, but said, "But it's not as simple as you think." ”

Chunni smiled: "I understand, Gongzi's talent is not to write a few poems and sell silver, but to do great things, how can articles be exchanged for money?" He also seems to be receiving alms. Childe is a man of backbone. ”

Fang Zi'an laughed and said, "When you say that, my heart feels much better." The thousand taels of silver are gone, and I don't seem to feel so bad. ”

Chunni covered her mouth and smiled.
