Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 3 Amazing
Qin Xiqing looked at the young man in front of her in surprise, she didn't expect this Fang Zi'an to be so open-minded.
"It seems that Fang Gongzi is not worried at all. The slave family thought that Fang Gongzi would be very annoyed. Looks like I'm thinking too much. Qin Xiqing said softly.
Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "What's the use of worrying? What's the use of being annoyed? Crying is also a day, laughing is also a day, why should I be sad? ”
Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "What Childe said is very true. But what does Childe plan to do in the future? ”
Fang Zi'an smiled: "What else can I do if I take the exam?" Fortunately, being expelled from the division did not affect my qualifications for Qiu Qiu. I am the one who will be there. ”
Qin Xiqing and Li Quanzhong glanced at each other, Li Quanzhong's eyes were full of sarcasm, but Qin Xiqing thought: This person is very confident, most of the scholars are humble, but this person is different.
"Childe is so open-minded, the slave family has a lot less guilt in his heart. But this time the incident was finally due to the slave family, and the slave family apologized to the son again. Steward Li, take out the things. ”
Li Quanzhong, who was sitting on the side, couldn't wait to hear this, so he hurriedly got up and agreed, took out a small wooden box from his bosom and handed it to Qin Xiqing. Qin Xiqing stretched out her hand to take it, and her slender fingers gently lifted the lid of the wooden box, revealing the contents inside, which were a small stack of silver tickets.
"Here is the silver ticket of the two hundred taels of Longde Money Village, a small meaning, not a tribute. Although it can't make up for the punishment that Fang Gongzi received, it is also a little bit of the slave family's heart. Please also ask Fang Gongzi to smile. Qin Xiqing looked at Fang Zi'an.
Fang Zi'an stared at the stack of silver tickets with his eyes, his expression a little dull. Two hundred taels of silver is not much for the wealthy families of high-ranking officials and nobles, but for ordinary people, it is a huge amount of money. Although Lin'an Mansion is rich in the world, ordinary Lin'an people only earn thirty or fifty taels of silver a year. If you live in poverty, three taels of silver a month is enough to live, and these two hundred taels of silver can be used for a thrifty person to live for several years. For a poor person like Fang Zi'an, this is definitely a huge amount of money that can change a lot.
Qin Xiqing and Li Quanzhong both saw Fang Zi'an's expression, the allure of silver was really extraordinary, and no one could resist it. Qin Xiqing's expression was indifferent, she actually had a very bad impression of this Fang Zi'an in front of her, and some of her previous curiosity and expectations for this person were now gone. After the two hundred taels of silver were given to Fang Zi'an, there would be no such person in her memory in the future.
Li Quanzhong had a smile on his face, he knew that the next moment Fang Zi'an would be like a mad dog half of the silver ticket in his arms. What arrogance and temperament, in front of the silver, all must appear in their original form. The most tangible thing in the world is silver.
"You're so poor, there's green smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. If it weren't for my Qin girl's good conscience, how could you have such a good life? Li Quanzhong thought so in his heart.
"What is this for? As the saying goes, there is no merit and no luck, and a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. What do I want your money to do? As I said, it's none of your business. If I take this money, won't it be hot in my hands? Fang Zi'an retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice.
Qin Xiqing and Li Quanzhong were a little surprised, but soon the two of them thought that this was Fang Zi'an's politeness. In their opinion, Fang Zi'an's eyes had betrayed his heart, and such words were just hypocritical support, which actually made people despise him even more.
"Take it, it's just a little bit of the slave's heart. This bit of silver is nothing, and if it can make up for the son, it can be regarded as making the slave family feel at ease. Steward Li, take the clothes, I think we should go, so as not to delay Fang Gongzi to clean up the yard. Qin Xiqing stood up as she spoke lightly, and slowly walked towards the door, her posture was beautiful and arrogant, she didn't look at Fang Zi'an again, she was already a little excited.
"I've already said that there is no merit in the next step, don't you understand what I mean? Take the silver ticket, the two of them don't give it away! Fang Zi'an looked at Qin Xiqing's side face and said in a deep voice.
Qin Xiqing turned her head in surprise and found that Fang Zi'an's expression was serious, not like he was joking. Could it be that this person is really a righteous gentleman who treats money like dung? Did you misunderstand him?
Li Quanzhong frowned and said, "Fang Zi'an, don't pretend. You just steal the fun, what are you pretending to be? If you really don't, we'll take the money. Don't regret it. ”
Fang Zi'an frowned and said, "Steward Li, I salute you as a guest, but I didn't offend you." You have been sarcastic and mean since you came through my door, and I have not said anything. But you also have to be self-respecting, otherwise if I don't give you face, I'm afraid you won't be able to get off the stage. ”
"You ......" Li Quanzhong blushed and glared at Fang Zi'an, but he had nothing to say.
Qin Xiqing said in a deep voice: "Gongzi Fang really doesn't want this silver? Fang Gongzi's current situation probably needs a sum of money to save the emergency. The slave family had no other intentions, and it was not to use the silver to ask the son to do something, it was really just out of apology and compensation. But if this silver causes trouble to the son, the slave family will take it away, so as not to make the son unhappy. ”
Fang Zi'an was silent. Qin Xiqing smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Steward Li, just take the silver ticket away, so as not to dislike Young Master Fang." ”
Li Quanzhong hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the box containing the silver ticket, and left. Qin Xiqing also walked out. But he heard Fang Zi'an shouting behind him: "This ...... Miss Qin stayed. ”
Qin Xiqing stood up, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Sure enough, as soon as I tried it, I found out that this Fang Zi'an was pretending to be a gesture, and at this moment the silver was about to be gone, so he was in a hurry. It seems that he really looked away, this person is despicable, hypocritical and hypocritical just from the character.
"How? Shall we eat? I'm afraid you can't afford what Miss Qin eats. Li Quanzhong finally got the opportunity to ridicule, this guy pretended to be high, which is really ridiculous. This bamboo basket is empty, and there is nothing to be gained, which is really happy.
"Miss Qin, after thinking about it, what you said makes sense. Autumn is coming, and I was expelled from the school by my husband again, and I can't go to the academy. The meager grain and rice officials in the academy can't get it, and it's really a little difficult to do. So...... I can take this silver, and I will do it in a hurry, hahaha. Fang Zi'an ignored Li Quanzhong's ridicule and smiled at Qin Xiqing.
Qin Xiqing was disgusted in her heart, but she still smiled on her face and said, "But, isn't this against Fang Gongzi's principles?" It will make Childe struggle and pain inside. Didn't the son say that there is no merit and no luck, and a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way? ”
Fang Zi'an smiled facelessly: "Yes, you can't violate my principles, I can't be punished for nothing." But there are workarounds. For example...... For example, if I write two more poems and sell them to you, it will be reasonable and fair, and I will not have a pimple in my heart, nor will it damage my principles as a person. What does Miss Qin think? ”
Before Qin Xiqing could speak, Li Quanzhong on the side shouted loudly.
"What? Two poems will be sold for two hundred taels of silver? Why don't you grab it? One hundred taels of silver and a word, are you Su Dongpo or Li Yi'an? I want to take the silver, and I want to pretend to be serious, which is really shameless. ”
"What are you arguing about? I'm talking about business with your Qin girl, what are you arguing with a servant? Are there any rules? Fang Zi'an scolded.
Li Quanzhong was about to fight back, but Qin Xiqing waved his hand and let him swallow the words that came to his mouth.
"Fang Gongzi was expelled from the school by your teacher because he wrote a poem and sang it to the slave family. Now the son is going to sell words to the slave family again, isn't this a mistake on top of a mistake? If Mr. Zhou knew, you would probably not be forgiven by him for the rest of your life. Don't you think it's inappropriate to do this? ”
Fang Zi'an laughed and said, "Since I have been expelled from the division, what else do I have to worry about?" Is it possible to be expelled again? It is only natural that a scholar sells literature for a living. The teacher doesn't like it, and I can't help it. The matter has come to this point, and he can only go against his old man's will. Although there is an apology, it is also a helpless move. ”
A word popped up in Qin Xiqing's heart: This person is extremely shameless.
"Well, there's some truth to that. However, since the son wants to negotiate business with the slave family, the slave family has to do things according to the rules of the business. Do you know how many people in the world want to write lyrics to the slave family? Many people would rather pay a penny than write lyrics for free for slaves. If the slave family paid a hundred taels of silver to ask someone to write the lyrics, I am afraid that the threshold of Wanchun Garden would be broken. The son wants to exchange two poems for two hundred taels of silver, and the slave family may not do this business. The slave family spoke very straightforwardly, although the words of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gongzi's "Mid-Autumn Moon" were good last year, the slave family bought it for thirty taels of silver, and it was more or less because it was an event that night. I, Wanchunyuan, have fun with the people, so I solicited lyrics on the spot, and thirty taels of silver was also more than the value of the poem itself. In terms of the lyrics of the song "Mid-Autumn Moon", at most five taels of silver is amazing. The Mid-Autumn Moon can be sung, mostly relying on the fame of the slave family. The slave family speaks straightforwardly, and the son may feel that he doesn't like it, but do you think what the slave family said is right? ”
At this time, there was no politeness in Qin Xiqing's words.
Fang Zi'an laughed and said: "What Miss Qin said is very true, the poem of the Mid-Autumn Festival cannot be regarded as a good word. I just wrote a random one that night. Five taels of silver are expensive. But I did it just for the occasion. But now it's different, I'm going to sell your words, naturally I can't be perfunctory. Whether the word is worth a hundred taels of silver, you have to read it to know. I haven't written it yet, how do you know it's not worth it? Miss Qin is famous all over the world, and those who want to write for you for free just want to use your mouth to make a name for themselves, how good is it compared to the next. Naturally, you have to do business fairly, and I don't want to force it. If Miss Qin is willing to do this business, she will write a poem in the next and you see, it is worth a hundred taels of silver, and we will make this transaction, if you think it is not worth it, you will not be entangled in the next one. In Xia Ming'er, I went to the dock to carry bags to move goods for people to catch the car, but I won't starve to death, what do you think? ”
Qin Xiqing bit her lower lip and lowered her head to think quietly. Next to him, Li Quanzhong said in a deep voice: "What is the girl talking to him?" This guy is. A hundred taels of silver for a word? Crazy? Who is he? ”
Qin Xiqing raised her head, nodded and said, "Young Master Fang, just do as you say." If you write words to slave the goods, if they are worth a hundred taels of silver, we will do this business. If it's not worth it, don't blame me. If you don't want it yourself, I'll take the money. The slave family also apologized for the fact that you were expelled from the door wall by your teacher, and you can't blame me Wan Chunyuan. ”
Fang Zi'an laughed and said: "I said a long time ago that I don't blame you, you have to take it on yourself." I didn't come to blame you. We only do business, and nothing else is involved. ”
Qin Xiqing nodded and said, "Okay, a word is a certainty." Childe carefully wrote the words, and after writing them, he sent them to Wanchun Garden. ”
Fang Zi'an waved his hand and smiled: "Why bother so much? I'll write one on the spot. Writing words is not to give birth to a child, and you have to wait ten months to fail? ”
Qin Xiqing's face was angry, secretly annoyed that this guy was unstoppable. However, if he wants to write words in person, he will let him go, and it is good to get rid of this guy as soon as possible. What good words can such a person write?
"Since Childe is so confident, I'll wait and see." Qin Xiqing walked back and sat down, turned her face to look at the rain outside the door, and said nothing more.
Fang Zi'an smiled, turned around and went into the wing room to take out the pen, ink and paper inkstone, took the inkstone to catch some rain under the eaves, quickly sharpened the ink, and then spread the paper and picked up the pen.
"I'm going to put pen to paper." Fang Zi'an.
Qin Xiqing turned her head to look at him, her expression was indifferent, and she had no expectation.
Fang Zi'an smiled, dipped the ink and put away his smile, brushed the brush on the paper, and wrote a poem in a moment.
"Miss Qin, do you think this poem is worth a hundred taels?" Fang Zi'an put down his pen and tilted his head and asked with a smile.
Qin Xiqing slowly stood up and walked to the table, casually glanced at the handwriting on the paper with her eyes, and suddenly the whole person seemed to be nailed there as if she had been struck by lightning. After only reading the first two sentences, she was shocked. I couldn't wait to read it quickly, and when I saw the last sentence, my eyes were already flashing with color, and I was extremely happy.
The word...... This word ......," Qin Xiqing muttered excitedly.
"How? Is it worth a hundred taels? Fang Zi'an put away the words, deliberately didn't give the probe to Li Quanzhong, and asked with a smile in his mouth.
The word...... It's worth more than a hundred taels, such a good word, it's hard to find. The son is talented, and he is admired by Xiqing. Qin Xiqing almost shouted excitedly.
