Chapter 60 "Childe, add another twenty taels!"
After Li Xiangzhi found an excuse, after eating a meal outside, when he came back, the woman surnamed Zhu and her dogleg had already left. Li Xiangzhi secretly congratulated himself on using his wisdom to drive away the woman surnamed Zhu.
I don't know what the reason is in the past few days, but I haven't made an appointment with Su Mingyue several times.
Suddenly, one day, Su Mingyue took the initiative to ask Li Xiangzhi for an appointment, which immediately made him ecstatic.
Taihu Liuqiao Pavilion, Li Xiangzhi waited for an hour before waiting for Su Mingyue's figure. However, Li Xiangzhi saw that Su Mingyue's face was pale, and there was no previous look on his face.
"Bright Moon!" Li Xiangzhi shouted excitedly.
Su Mingyue glanced at Li Xiangyi, and immediately lowered her head shyly.
Li Xiangzhi hasn't seen Su Mingyue for several days, as the saying goes, if you don't see each other, it's like three autumns. So I grabbed it directly, Su Mingyue's delicate and silky little hands.
Su Mingyue was startled by Li Xiangzhi's actions, and hurriedly pulled back, and immediately looked around with a crimson face.
"Nobody, nobody." Lee Sang-zhi smiled.
Su Mingyue said angrily: "Don't ...... Don't do this. β
Li Xiangzhi saw Su Mingyue's demeanor, obviously a little depressed, and his interest was not high.
"What's wrong? Your face is not very good, is it sick? β
Su Mingyue's big eyes suddenly lost their former brilliance, and even squirmed a little at Li Xiangzhi.
"It's okay, I'...... I ......"
Seeing Su Mingyue's slugging appearance, Li Xiangzhi stretched out his hand again, and pulled up Su Mingyue's soft and boneless hands with both hands. This time, no matter how Ren Su Mingyue struggled, she just wouldn't let go.
"You're my fiancΓ©e, and I've long considered you my wife. If you have something wrong or something difficult, just say it. β
Su Mingyue looked at Li Xiangzhi's firm eyes, and her face suddenly turned crimson again.
"I need money, know you...... Your book sells well, so I come to you to borrow money. Su Mingyue lowered her head, and her voice was as low as a fine mosquito.
Li Xiangzhi was stunned: "What happened?" β
Su Mingyue said with a gloomy face: "Su Rui had a dispute with someone some time ago and injured them. Later, I learned that the child was the son of Shen Chunhe, the judge of Suzhou Prefecture, and this matter caused Shen Tong's judgment, so my father is now running around, hoping to make a big deal small. After the dredging of Tang Yicheng of Wuxian County, this did not make trouble in the yamen, otherwise Su Rui might have to go to prison and suffer from flesh and skin. It's just that Shen Tong judged that the cost of this soup medicine is a lot. β
Li Xiangzhi's expression moved, and he said, "How much does he want?" β
"One hundred and fifty taels."
Li Xiang's heart trembled: "Sure enough, it's a grain and grass, this special damn is really black." β
Su Mingyue said aggrievedly: "Because I took it upon myself to ask Sister Rou for help, this matter made my father very unhappy, and I also owed people family favors, so I didn't let me borrow money from them." Daddy is very stubborn. β
"It's okay, it's okay, I have this money, I'll make up for how much there's missing, it's all a family anyway, I believe my uncle won't object."
Su Mingyue's face turned red and said, "Seventy or eighty taels." β
"Well, then you go back first, I'll go get the money, it's not early this day, I'll send the money over tomorrow."
"Hmm." Su Mingyue answered, and found that her hands were still firmly grasped by Li Xiangzhi.
Li Xiangzhi pinched her palm and said, "Don't worry, you see that your face is so pale, go back and have a good meal, and sleep peacefully tonight, otherwise I will be heartbroken if I get sick." β
Su Mingyue hummed in a low voice, then forcefully pulled her hand out of Li Xiangzhi's claws, and ran away with a blushing face.
After Li Xiangzhi saw Su Mingyue leave, his face suddenly became bitter.
"I've got a fart of money, and it's all taken away by the female devil. Alas, while it's still dark, let's find Zhang Mengjin. β
Communication in ancient times was a big obstacle, and by the time Li Xiangzhi found his house after looking for Drunken Mantang, it was already dark, and he was told by his housekeeper that he was not in the house, and he didn't know where to go, which was difficult.
Li Xiangzhi estimated that this goods should go to the flower boat or which gentle township to go, and naturally he would not tell his family the correct address at this time.
There is no way, these seventy or eighty taels of silver are not a small amount, but Tang Bohu is rich, but with their friendship, they will not borrow such a large amount at once.
After Li Xiangzhi left a message at Zhang Mengjin's house, he walked back with interest.
"Phew! You're too watery, aren't you? Just this kind of painting, still want to fish in troubled waters? Get out, get out. β
When Lee Sang-zhi passed by a shopping street, a large calligraphy and painting shop successfully attracted his idea.
I saw a young man with an embarrassed face and was kicked out by the shopkeeper.
Then a calligraphy and painting was thrown out, Li Xiangzhi looked up, and suddenly laughed dumbly, it turned out that this painting was a landscape painting with charcoal ink, the rough lines, but it is somewhat similar to ink painting, but it has absolutely nothing to do with sketch fart, this ink and sketch are different things, and some people want to imitate sketches.
For example, there are many schools of ink painting, just like watermelon, there are different types and different origins, but if cantaloupe is eaten as watermelon, it will not work.
Li Xiangzhi smiled, and saw that the young man hurriedly walked away, and suddenly he looked at the calligraphy and painting shop suspiciously, and then stepped forward and asked the shopkeeper: "Hello shopkeeper, was that just now?" Li Xiangzhi pointed to the young man who ran away.
"Hey! is a poor scholar who fishes in troubled waters. Isn't this Li Xiaoyao's famous carbon painting in Suzhou a few days ago, but there are only two or three carbon paintings, and most people have never seen them, so many people have come to ask, and they have specified that there are carbon paintings willing to buy at a high price. So I asked people to inquire about the source of the painting or let some talented people try to paint, after all, the price is high, so after seeing the carbon painting, many people will start painting indiscriminately, and dare to take it to embarrass people. Although Lao Yu is just a trader, my family has been operating calligraphy and painting calligraphy for several generations, and I am very enthusiastic, but I spent two taels of silver to borrow and watch the carbon painting for half a day. They also said that I was a foolish person who had never seen the market. β
Li Xiangzhi was dumbfounded after hearing this, and his words were actually used reasonably - rental.
"Damn, I'm cheaper for those grandchildren." Li Xiangzhi secretly spat out.
"Eh, shopkeeper, what if...... I mean, if I had a carbon painting on hand, how much would it be worth? β
The shopkeeper squinted and said, "Hey! Don't be kidding, just Mr. Shen Zhou Shen specially bought one, Mr. Shen's family is not rich, but it is enough to exchange him for three ink treasures, at least worth five or six hundred taels of snowflake silver. β
"Holy!" Li Xiangzhi was taken aback, he spent an hour or two painting on a painting that dared to cash in a city center house directly. That's a fart novel.
Li Xiangzhi wiped his saliva and said: "Oh, the showcase, I met a person before, it seems to be a bit like Li Xiaoyao, I was also on the edge of Taihu Lake that day, that Li Xiaoyao looks tall and handsome, I really see it." β
"What?" The round face full of potholes in the display case suddenly trembled excitedly, and he directly lifted the clothes on Li Xiangzhi's chest with both hands.
Li Xiangzhi was frightened, and thought that the shopkeeper was going to beat him.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too excited for a while, Childe, are you sure that is Li Xiaoyao? Where are the others? β
Li Xiangzhi saw that the display cabinet let go, and immediately patted the messy clothes, and said slyly: "Whether it's Li Xiaoyao or not, I'm not sure, but I won't tell him the direction." Showcase, such a good opportunity to make money, how can I tell anyone else. You said no? β
The showcase nodded happily and said eagerly: "Childe, my Lao Zhang has been in business all my life, I promise, as long as you can get a painting from Li Xiangzhi, I will buy it for a hundred taels of silver." β
Li Xiangzhi frowned and said: "No, shopkeeper, you just said that one of Li Xiangzhi's paintings can be worth five or six hundred taels of silver, you are too dark, it seems that I have to find someone else to cooperate." Oops, I don't know if Li Xiaoyao is gone, I have to hurry up and chase him. β
Seeing that Li Xiangzhi was leaving, the showcase couldn't wait to incite himself a few mouths, and he excitedly revealed the reserve price.
"Don't mind, Childe, add another twenty taels."
"It's still a little low." Li Xiangzhi said to himself.
The showcase said: "You are a descendant, that person is Shen Zhou is everyone, you can't take advantage of others, the three ink treasures he gave, that's the face, do you understand the face?" Actually, that painting is not worth the money at all, I was quite just now, you are serious!. β
Li Xiangzhi thought about it, and he made a lot of money, and he won't be seen as a problem, it's okay.
"That's okay, that's it, I have to leave quickly, otherwise I don't know if Li Xiaoyao is leaving."
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, hurry up."
Li Xiangzhi couldn't help but smile when he saw the urgent look on the display case, as if he had lost his new wife.
"The showcase, if I can really buy Li Xiaoyao's Mobao, then I'll come over tomorrow morning. In the next farewell. β
