Chapter 46: The Highest Level of Bribery (2)
Li Yibai said again, "I'm looking for Li Yan's works." I didn't expect Song Xuezheng to be elegant and have a painting, I really envy it. I have a lot of famous paintings and calligraphy in my family. There are Li Tang's, Yang Shixian's and so on. I can't put too much of it down. However, what's the use of these, so much, it's not as good as Song Xuezheng's "Spring Flower Picture". ’
Song Xuezheng heard that Li Yibai had a large collection of Li Tang and Yang Shixian's calligraphy and paintings, his eyes lit up, Yang Shixian and Li Tang's works, Song Xuezheng dreamed of getting one.
'Li Gongzi, do you have a large number of Li Tang's works? Can I come to your house another day to enjoy it? ’
Li Yibai said arrogantly, 'Song Xuezheng, do you still need to go to my mansion to see? I've brought you one today. Saying that, Li Yibai took out a picture of Li Tang's "Lying Cow".
When Song Xuezheng saw this painting, his eyes straightened. 'Oops. Li Gongzi is really powerful. You have all such a good painting. ’
Li Yibai said lightly, "What is this, Li Tang is my eldest brother, and I can take as much of his paintings as I want." It's just that I have so many paintings of Li Tang, what's the use, but it's a pity that I don't have Li Yan's works. How I wish I had a piece of Li Yan's work. ’
Song Xuezheng touched the "Lying Cow Picture", and his hands were trembling. Alas, Li Yan is not famous, his paintings, where can they compare to Li Tang. Li Tang is a contemporary master. ’
Li Yibai couldn't hide his excitement and said, "However, I just think that Li Yan's talent is rare, and his paintings are treasures in my heart." Song Xuezheng, can you be an adult? It's good to sell me that painting of yours. ’
Song Xuezheng hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart, could it be that broken painting of mine was sold to him for 5o taels of silver? But it's not interesting to earn these dozens of taels of silver.
But. Li Gongzi, didn't I make your money by selling you a few dozen taels of silver for that painting? I'm so embarrassed. ’
Li Yibai was excited and couldn't hide his sadness, "Oops." I just want that picture of you. Since you think that the friendship between gentlemen should be as light as water. Then I'll use this Li Tang's "Lying Cow" to exchange it with you. ’
When Song Xuezheng heard Li Yibai's words, his heart blossomed. What the. I heard you right. Take Li Tang's paintings in exchange for my garbage, Li Tang's paintings cost at least 1ooo taels of silver. But since he likes my paintings so much, this is also the beauty of adults. A gentleman should be an adult.
'Okay. Under willingly. ’
Li Yibai threw "Lying Cow". 'Song Xuezheng, this "Lying Cow" is yours. Your "Spring Flower Picture" will send a small servant to my house tomorrow.
There is also this matter, the two of us must not make a noise, because I am a very low-key person, and I don't want others to know that I have a large number of Li Tang paintings. After all, I'm a businessman, and I've been selling Li Tang's paintings, and if anyone knows that I have a lot of them, they'll push me down on the price. ‘
Song Xuezheng arched his hand and said, "Li Gongzi, don't worry." I'm keeping this matter a secret. Never say anything. ’
Li Yibai laughed in his heart, you took such a big advantage, it's strange that you are loud.
The two of them talked about wine again, and once Song Xuezheng called Li Yibai a virtuous brother. Li Yibai also politely called him a few words of eldest brother, but he was not affectionate, and the two drank until dawn before returning home.
Song Xuezheng returned home in a daze. His wife, Mrs. Song, scolded, 'Dead ghost, I fooled around there yesterday. ’
Song Xuezheng said in high spirits, "You don't know, I got acquainted with a noble man named Li Yibai. ’
Mrs. Song said, "Who is Li Yibai?" What's the big deal. ’
Song Xuezheng said in a daze, "Li Gongzi is too big. Celebrities Li Tang and Yang Shixian all call him brothers. Guo Jia is also his friend. You say he's not a nobleman. Moreover, he also gave me a painting of Li Tang today. ’
Mrs. Song scolded, "You also accepted gifts and bribes, if you are revealed by Lord Yushi, your official position will not be guaranteed." ’
Song Xuezheng said in a daze, "I said something wrong. It was we who changed the painting. We swapped each other's paintings. I haven't been corrupt or bribed, so who can find out about me. You stinky bitch, you talk nonsense. ’
Mrs. Song is a tigress, and when she heard that Song Xuezheng dared to scold her, she twisted Song Xuezheng's ears and said, "You thief, it's against you." What the hell did he trade with you? ’
'Oh, oh, don't do it, ma'am. Song Xuezheng unfolded the scroll in his hand, "Madam, look, this is Li Tang's "Lying Cow Picture". ’
Mrs. Song is also from a large family, and she also knows how to appreciate famous paintings, and after reading it, she said, "Sure enough, it is Li Tang's painting." He used such a good painting, what kind of painting did he exchange with you. ’
Song Xuezheng said, "My "Spring Flower Picture". What else do I have to paint. ’
Mrs. Song was puzzled, "Your "Spring Flower Picture" is worth a few dollars, he will exchange such a good painting with you, and you still say that you did not take bribes, what did he ask you to do?" ’
Song Xuezheng said seriously, "Gongzi Li has never asked me to do a thing from beginning to end. He just overheard that I had collected "Spring Flowers", and he said that he especially liked this Li Yan. I especially like this picture. I strongly asked to change with me. I thought it was such a good thing, and of course I agreed. ’
Mrs. Song still didn't believe it, 'He really didn't ask you to do something?' ’
Song Xuezheng raised his hand, 'Madam.' I swear, he really didn't ask me for anything. ’
Mrs. Song said, "Well, I'm relieved." ’
Song Xuezheng asked the little guy to send "Spring Flowers" to Li Yibai, and Li Yibai smiled proudly after receiving "Spring Flowers". And it was done. ’
Xiaoqing asked, 'Young Master.' Something was done. ’
Li Yibai said, "My scientific expedition. ’
Since Song Xuezheng got Li Tang's "Lying Cow", although he didn't sleep all night, he still didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, and he looked at this picture over and over again.
Hang on the wall for a while. Take it off in a moment. Put it in the box for a while. Take it out again after a while. I really don't know where to put it.
Mrs. Song scolded, 'You are closer to this painting than to me.' ’
At night, Song Xuezheng and Mrs. Song went to bed. Song Xuezheng slept for a while, then suddenly got up and said, "I'm going to see my paintings." ’
He came to the living room, opened the box, and said, 'The painting is still there. So he put it back in the box and went back to bed.
After a while, I got up again. I'm going to look at my paintings. I'm really worried. This is Li Tang's masterpiece, think about how happy I am to have Li Tang's painting. ’
So he got up again and opened the box to check. It's still there. Put it away again. Back in bed.
After a while, he got up again. He went on a trip for a while, and the quilt was out of temperature. Mrs. Song scolded angrily, "Thief, you are not honest." I can't sleep or not. ’
This Mrs. Song was disturbed and couldn't sleep, so she actually came to ** and wanted to do that. 'Sir, we haven't done that in a long time. You're so excited today, let's do it once. ’
This Mrs. Song only called Master Song Xuezheng at this time, and her voice became gentle.
Song Xuezheng couldn't sleep because of the excitement because of the painting, and he also wanted to do that to kill time. 'Okay. So Song Xuezheng lay on Mrs. Song and writhed for a while.
No, I'm going to look at my paintings. I'm never at ease. I'll just put it under the covers. ’
Saying that, Song Xuezheng got out of bed again and really brought the painting. When Mrs. Song saw this, her stomach was about to explode. kicked Song Xuezheng out of bed.
'Get out. Find your painting as a wife. ’
Song Xuezheng was helpless, so he had to hold the painting and go to the side room to sleep.
After Li Yibai completed this matter, he was completely relieved, and he would not worry about Zhuang Yu passing him at all. He has confidence in Li Chaoyang's "Spring and Autumn". He was confident that Song Xuezheng would definitely give him a high score.
Because Li Yibai did this thing like spring rain, moisturizing things silently. From beginning to end, he did not explicitly ask Song Xuezheng for help, nor did he explicitly say that he would give Song Xuezheng money or property. But he knew that Song Xuezheng had benefited, and coupled with the fact that his article was indeed the best article, this matter would definitely succeed.
This bribery is done in a tacit understanding of the mind and requires a high level of intelligence. Why would Song Xuezheng definitely help Li Yibai?
The first point is because Li Yibai is worth helping. Good article. The article got number one, and no one will question it.
The second point is that Li Yibai and he did not directly offer bribes. Just swap pictures with each other. The Imperial Historical Observatory came to check, but there was no problem.
The third point is to let Li Yibai get the first place, sell favors to Li Yibai, and get to know him is very good for himself.
Combining the above three points, doing this will only be good for yourself, and there is no harm in doing it.
