. She ...... After all, it's the girl on the painting boat. I like people like that, and you don't look down on me for that? ”

"'Acacia is a no-nonsense word', who can say this kind of thing, what should not be said?" Chu Feng smiled slightly.

It seems to be a flower or a non-flower, and no one regrets to follow the teaching. Leaving home on the road, thinking about it is, ruthless and thoughtful. Haunting and soft intestines, sleepy and delicate eyes, wanting to open and close. The dream follows the wind for thousands of miles, looking for a place to go, and is still called by the warbler......

This is Su Shi's "Water Dragon Yin", which talks about the lovesick emotions of a woman's boudoir. There are not many such thoughts in the man, but now in front of Chu Feng's eyes, there is one.

It's just that everyone knows that no matter how talented Qin Cao is, her identity is there after all.

Li Liangji can marry her, but he can only accept her as a concubine, and it is impossible and unrealistic to marry her.

If you look at it in a normal way, Li Liangji can marry Fan Qiubai as his wife first, and then take Qin Cao as a concubine after a year and a half. So far, business and beauties have not been delayed, but it is also a situation of "everyone is happy".

But looking at it now, Li Liangji's obsession with piano exercises is not a simple attitude, it seems that he really wants to give her a good name...... Fortunately, in this way, Chu Feng's problem was also solved.

"I'm not a fool, I'm afraid Fan Qiubai wants to marry you, all kinds of things in Hangzhou City, some things that happened in Fan's calligraphy and painting shop, I have also heard about it." Li Liangji gradually loosened Chu Feng's collar and sat back on the chair a little tired, "My sister, you know, this marriage is actually her idea. The Fan family has a big business, but there has been a trend of decline in recent years. After hearing the news of the looting of the ships in the north, my sister asked me to come to Tokyo immediately. proposed to the Fan family. The skills of my Li family, coupled with the way of the Fan family, can always go against the trend in this era of declining calligraphy and painting. ”

"Sister Ling......" Chu Feng looked at the prosperity inside and outside the restaurant, and sighed slightly, "He is indeed a very powerful person." ”

Li Liangji shook his head and laughed at himself: "The situation of our family." You know a little bit about it. I don't know what the relationship between you and the Chu family in Jiaodong is, if you are peers, it will be easier to talk. But if you don't admit it, there's nothing I can do...... You also know that I don't have the ability of my sister. Our Li family has also declined to this generation, and I know too little about skills. It's not that you don't want to learn, it's that you really can't learn. Without that talent, it's useless to say anything. ”

"My sister's idea is actually very simple. The simple ones are even a little rough. She is different from me, she has had high hopes since she was a child, and the inheritance of the whole family is on him. The techniques at home, in fact, are passed on to men and not women according to the rules, as far as I know, your Chu family should be like this. But I don't understand, Sister Ah is listening to it from the sidelines, but she is many times more powerful than me......"

"My father worshipped my ancestors. After thinking about it for a few months, I finally let Sister Ah swear not to marry for life. Eventually, she was able to formally learn the craft. Sister's craftsmanship...... According to my late father, the only son of the Li family in ten generations was born in such an era. ”

"Other ordinary people may not know, but we businessmen are the most sensitive to the current situation. The head of the Fan family is also a smart person, and it is impossible not to know the situation in the north. Now this stormy ...... In front of me, it looks like a lively and prosperous world. How many more years can it last? ”

Li Liangji's words were so straightforward that they almost made Chu Feng slightly startled.

Chu Feng looked around and saw that no one noticed Li Liangji's words, so he relaxed slightly.

Seeing Chu Feng's nervousness, Li Liangji couldn't help laughing: "Is this unspeakable under the foundation of the imperial city?" Ha ha! Good. I don't say it, just say it. ”

Chu Feng sighed slightly, smiled and shook his head.

"But then again, Brother Chu, let me ask you, even if I'm not afraid of going home and being beaten by my sister, I pushed the Fan family's marriage. Can the Fan family agree? Li Liangji looked at Chu Feng with a deep gaze, as if he was smiling, "Without the support of our family, can his huge family business be maintained?" ”

Chu Feng raised his hand to fill Li Liangji's wine and said with a smile: "Before I came to you again, I had already talked to Uncle Fan. If Uncle Fan hadn't nodded his head, I wouldn't have come to you. ”

When Li Liangji heard this, his expression became a little complicated, and he seemed to be smiling: "I told Sister A long time ago, I'm afraid I want to prevent you from stealing business with our Li family." But Sister Ah said, you want to be admitted to the art academy, and you are taking a different path. I don't believe it, but now it seems, sure enough, hehe, did I guess right? ”

Chu Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Li, don't get me wrong, I really have nothing to do with the Chu family in Jiaodong, and I really want to follow the path of the painting academy." As for the Fan family's affairs, it's not about cooperating with me, and I don't have that kind of ability. The reason why Uncle Fan wants to think about the marriage of the two again is because he has some other business strategies, but I don't know whether it will be successful or not. ”

Li Liangji listened carefully and did not speak.

He twisted a peanut in his hand, slowly peeled off the shell with a crackle, and took out the peanut in it and crushed the red skin on the outside, before slowly putting it in his mouth and chewing it unhurriedly.

During the whole process, Li Liangji's eyes kept falling on Chu Feng's face, as if he was examining Chu Feng's statement, how many were true and how many were false.

"Is it the help of the Sanyin Lu clan?" I have to say that Li Liangji's brain is still turning very fast, "But the Fan family should know that the problem of the situation is not something that can be reversed with just a little financial injection." ”

"Not really." Chu Feng smiled slightly, stood up, and straightened the folds on his placket, "Brother Li is a smart person, he will always know in the future." Just sorry, now I can't say, it's a trade secret. ”

"Trade secrets?" Li Liangji hadn't heard of this word, but he instantly understood the meaning, and laughed, "It's kind of interesting." ”

"The two gentlemen are usually at home, and if Brother Li wants to visit, he can go at any time." Chu Feng said with a light smile, and raised his hand to call the little guy. Ready to checkout.

"No need, this meal is mine." Li Liangji slowly twisted another peanut.

Chu Feng smiled and said: "I invited you here, Brother Li, and I am half the host, how dare I let Brother Li spend money." ”

……

……

When Chu Feng and Li Liangji were talking, the sun had just set in the west.

The heat wave invaded every corner of Tokyo with the wind, and Fan Yangming held a piece of watermelon. After taking a big gulp, he still felt that he could not quench his thirst, so he ate another large piece to relieve himself from the impetuous heat around him for a moment.

He took the handkerchief from the handmaid next to him and wiped it. Fan Yangming looked up at the Huang shopkeeper who frowned on the opposite side, and shook his head with a smile.

"I've said everything I need to say, but you should give me a word!" Fan Yangming threw the handkerchief on the table next to him, and felt that even the chair he was sitting on was full of hot breath, so he stood up. I took the fan and kept fanning, "Lao Huang, we have been friends for decades." When you entered the store at the age of fourteen, I watched you step by step at the position of the shopkeeper, and you also watched me little by little how I learned to manage this house. You know my temper, you can say anything directly, what is the reason for being silent here, I am more upset than this hot and stuffy weather! ”

Shopkeeper Huang and Fan Yang are close in age. But probably because the business is too worried, the shopkeeper Huang looks much older than his owner.

The lines on his face are like wrinkled landscape paintings. His slightly thin frame makes him look like an old man everywhere on the street.

But once it comes to calligraphy and painting, the whole person of the shopkeeper Huang seems to be ten or twenty years younger all of a sudden, and the whole person immediately comes alive, almost flashing.

As Fan Yangming said, the shopkeeper Huang is a little infatuated with calligraphy and painting.

It was such an infatuation that made him the shopkeeper of Fan's calligraphy and painting store in Tokyo City. But it was this infatuation that made him the first to stand up and resolutely disagree when the owner decided to sell fakes.

Fan Yangming had no way to take him.

Such a stubborn, hard, stone-like old man. Ordinary people have no way to deal with it.

"The old stubborn surnamed Huang". When Fan Yangming was angry, he often called him like this.

"I'm just, ...... for a while," Shopkeeper Huang showed a very strange expression, "It's hard to accept this fact for a while." ”

He also raised his head to look at Fan Yangming, who was standing there fanning his fan at an extremely fast speed, and smiled complicatedly: "Can the owner confirm that these things and methods were really thought up by Chu Feng?" ”

Fan Yangming let out a sigh: "I know how you feel, and I feel the same." ”

The shopkeeper Huang said: "Is it really Chu Feng? Is it the Chu Feng who did the pilgrimage in my store and came from Hangzhou City, not another Chu Feng with the same name and surname? ”

Fan Yang understood him at a glance, obviously too lazy to answer the question.

"I'm just," Shopkeeper Huang shook his head with a wry smile, "It's hard to imagine." How could a young man who is talented in calligraphy and painting and has a dusty bearing have these good ideas in business...... Could this be Mr. Bunduan's idea? ”

Fan Yangming sighed: "Then do you think that an old gentleman who has been immersed in officialdom for half his life, who was born in a scholar family, who cultivates and reads heirlooms, and who is highly respected, will have quite an enlightenment on the path of being looked down upon in business?" ”

Shopkeeper Huang opened his mouth and shook his head to relax.

"Anyway, these ideas are really good ideas. The most critical problem is that his implementation is not very difficult, and it can even be said that it is easy to adopt and promote. Fan Yangming brought the topic back to the right path, "I don't care if Chu Feng came up with these ideas himself, or who told him, or even learned them from some wonderful shop in Hangzhou City. I'm not curious about where it comes from, so I called you here, but I hope you can use your years of experience in running a calligraphy and painting shop to tell you whether these methods will be useful if they are implemented. ”

Fan Yangming's eyes lit up slightly, staring at the expression of the shopkeeper Huang and looking: "And these methods are not illegal, and secondly, there is no moral accusation." I don't think you should mind anymore, will you? Anyway, in your opinion, this kind of small business path is always much better than joining forces with the Li family, isn't it? ”

Two rhetorical questions of "isn't it" in succession made the shopkeeper Huang have to smile bitterly.

"The owner is a person who understands, and with my friendship with the owner, it is impossible to really do that kind of inconsistency." Shopkeeper Huang pondered carefully and said, "The so-called signing of calligraphers and painters cannot be done in a day, and it always takes one or two months to operate. However, the method of 'commission' is very easy to implement, and the bookkeepers can start to implement it tomorrow after a hard night. There are many other ...... I have to say that they are all methods that can be implemented and enforced. ”

"That's it!" Fan Yangming slapped the table, his eyes were resolute, "From tomorrow onwards, everything that can be implemented will be done in your store, and if the effect is good, let the stores in Hangzhou and Luoyang participate." ”

"But," Shopkeeper Huang remembered something, "I heard that Li Liangji of the Li family has rushed over from Hangzhou City, and even the eight characters of his birthday have been corrected." The owner suddenly stopped at this time, wouldn't it cause the Li family's anger? In case something happens again......"

"I'll also leave this matter to Chu Lang." Fan Yangming said, "It should be said that he took the initiative to ask for help." He said that he had some friendship with Li Liangji, and the specific result was still unknown. ”

Shopkeeper Huang's mouth opened wide, digesting the deeper meaning of these words.

"Chu Feng ......," Huang shouke gathered his words, "It seems to be much deeper than we think." ”

Fan Yangming didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Moreover, since Chu Feng is willing to do so many things, I am afraid that he has some meaning for the little lady." Shopkeeper Huang glanced at the owner's face, and added, "Now that the owner has pushed away the Li family like this, and allowed Chu Feng to help, I'm afraid it's ......."

"I know." Fan Yangming interrupted Shopkeeper Huang's words, waved his hand, and signaled that he didn't need to say more, "I have my own measure in this matter." ”

"Alang! Alang! The butler hurried over at this time, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked very anxious.

"What?" Fan Yangming frowned, "Isn't it that the Li family doesn't agree?" ”

"Not really!" The housekeeper hurriedly said, "It has nothing to do with the Li family, there is news about Chu Feng and Chu Langjun." Do you know that the night before yesterday in Fan Lou's play, many people put together the skills of painting, and the person with the first name can meet the teacher girl! Yesterday, there was news that He Junhao also participated, but only won the second place. As for who the first name is, the news has just spread. ”

"He Junhao only took the second?" Hearing the news, Fan Yangming couldn't help but be stunned.

"The key question is," the housekeeper clapped his hands anxiously, "the first is Chu Feng!" ”.
