Chapter Seventy-Three: Celebrity Calligraphy Disputes
Li You shook his head and expelled the unnecessary sentimentality, he is no longer the otaku who has no female popularity, why bother to dwell on the past, and almost let the subconscious of the previous life dominate the thinking, and the heart still needs to be honed.
Jin Bao'er asked, "What is the master thinking in a daze?" ”
"Master, I am both talented and good-looking, and I have a successful career, and it is normal for someone to like it." Li You was quite complacent and said to Jin Bao'er: "You should be proud of your master." ”
"Hmm." Jin Bao'er obediently lay in the old man's arms and did not move, in fact, she was snickering in her heart.
However, Li You still noticed that she seemed a little strange tonight, and secretly said that she was jealous? While being jealous, I also pulled the red line for the master, and it was really a virtuous woman with ancient specialties, I like it.
The next time, Li You got up, ate a few bites of breakfast, and went to the county government to go around. After a while, I got the news that the old man from Suzhou Mansion set off this morning, and the waterway he took is expected to arrive at the county seat in the evening.
It's still early, so there's no need to wait for the time being, Li You, who had a vacancy, walked out boredly, thinking about whether to go back to the inspection department to have an official addiction.
Suddenly, he saw Jiang Dianshi in the torture room walking quickly, hugged his fists and saluted him: "Master Li stays, a small lawsuit has something to do with you, and you can't break it off." It just so happens that the adult is in the county office, so please break it off on your behalf. ”
Li You was begged by Jiang Dianshi like this, and it was inexplicable, what small lawsuit could be implicated with him? Or what petty lawsuit dares to implicate themselves? Anyway, he was idle at this time, and curiously followed Jiang Dianshi to the torture room.
It turned out that there was a case of a wealthy Qin Yuanwai suing the City God's Temple and Dai Miaozhu for defrauding the silver taels. The case was not big, so it was handed over to the torture room to determine the result, and then let the eldest master sentence it. Many small cases are like this, otherwise how could the eldest master have the time to ask them one by one.
That Jiang Dianshi took over the case and called the plaintiff and the defendant today. Listening to the plaintiff Qin Yuanwai's statement: "In Xiaping, he said that he is fond of collecting calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, and he has always been honest and innocent, which can be testified by neighbors and friends." I heard that Dai Miaozhu had the inscription of Mr. Li, a talented man in the county, so he sincerely asked for it, said the price of 20 taels, paid him a deposit of 10 taels, and made a deal yesterday. Who knew that this temple was deliberately ill-intentioned and used fake handwriting to pass it off. After being exposed under the bottom, he denied it, and it was clearly a forced fraud of the silver two. ”
Dai Miaozhu shouted and said: "I really gave him Master Li's true handwritings, and he didn't have this eyesight to think it was fake, how can he complain!" ”
The two insisted on their own words, and Jiang Dianshi was difficult to identify, so they investigated the evidence. There is no problem with the contract, and then I open the pasted scroll, and I see the eight characters of "Providence and Mercy, Begging for Ganlin" with eight calligraphy characters that are so strange that it is difficult to express in words.
Objectively speaking, this is really Li You's handwriting, and it is also his only unique calligraphy that has been circulated. At the beginning, he impulsively wrote it because of the bad taste of celebrities being asked for words, and there were other reasons for ten taels of pen polishing. In addition, they usually hide their intentions, and no other handwriting circulates them. In addition, the two words written on the wall a few months ago have long been blurred, even if the words are not good, everyone thinks that the wall is uneven, the writing is difficult, and the reason why Li You is drunk, no one would think that the county's famous poetry is famous for a generation of Mr. Tanhua's writing. Li You has practiced the name and a few commonly used words for signing, and he can still deal with small characters.
After reading the inscription, Jiang Dianshi's heart brightened, and he despised this Dai Temple Zhu who would not deceive people, and with such a bad word, a three-year-old child would not be fooled. At the moment, he shouted: "Dai Miao wishes you to be also an employee of the official temple, why are you so greedy for money and don't know anything." If you don't recruit from the truth, I will be a Chinese person and tell you to be private, so as not to make everyone look bad when the official law goes up. ”
Dai Miaozhu is full of grievances and has nowhere to sue, and he is very aggrieved, which is obviously Lord Li's words, and everyone doesn't believe it. He shouted anxiously: "I saw this word written by Lord Li with my own eyes, and if there is a fake, I will be willing to accept the law of the country!" If you can ask Master Li to distinguish it yourself, you will know the authenticity! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Dianshi chuckled in his heart, and thought secretly: There are words in this Dai Temple greeting, is it reminding me? The rumors of his wife and Lord Li are not innocent, and with Lord Li's romance, it may not be false. He dared to say that if he invited Master Li to come, he must have no fear, even if it is fake, it can be taken seriously.
scolded again, this Dai Miao Zhu is really a bastard old turtle, won't he find a decent word to cheat money, such a bad word makes this classic history pretend to be confused and can't pretend, then the plaintiff Qin Yuan is not a vegetarian, and the case is difficult to break.
When I was worried, I saw the tall figure of Li Inspector Shi Shiran dangling in the atrium of the county government, which was so eye-catching. Jiang Dianshi felt happy from his heart, and sent a savior from the sky, asking Master Li to personally determine that he would not have to be involved.
It is said that Li You was invited by Jiang Dianshi, and when he went in, he saw the short and obscene Dai Miaozhu, but the thirty-year-old scribe standing next to him did not know him. didn't think much about it, and directly sat in the first position in Jiang Dian's history.
When he asked and understood the reason, Li Youdeng was angry, and if he hadn't taken care of being an official, he almost stepped forward and grabbed Dai Miaozhu and beat him to death.
Playing around and writing a few big characters for you is just looking for the vanity of the inscription of a celebrity, and by the way, it is just a reason to collect your money. It doesn't matter if you take it back and paste the wall into the toilet, I don't mind, everyone is an adult, who doesn't understand a little bit of human sophistication. You dare to preach that I wrote it in broad daylight, this is simply an insult to the dignity of my celebrity and gentleman, how can you spare it?
Thinking about it, Li You stared at Dai Miaozhu fiercely for a long time.
That Dai Miaozhu was panicked when Li You saw it, and subconsciously kept shrinking back. Did it really anger Lord Li?
It was a pity that he failed to prepare to pray for rain, lost his reputation as a lady, and lost some silver, only to feel that he was more wronged than Zhou Lang in the book, and he was distressed when he thought about it. I heard that someone was willing to pay twenty taels to buy his Li You inscription, and he was ready to make a move under joy, but he didn't expect that such an ugly word could make a lot of money, and it was not in vain to sell it secretly. Who would have thought that the more trouble it became, the more troublesome it would be, and finally it would end up like this.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, Dai Miaozhu cried and mourned, resigned to fate.
Li You turned his head and said decisively to Jiang Dianshi: "This word is fake, Dai Miaozhu fraudulently used the official name to deceive the good people, how to ask you to punish according to the law!" ”
Dai Miaozhu Zhang Huang stammered and didn't know what to say, and saw Master Li stretching out his hand and pointing at him and said, "You are very good, I hope you can continue to do this temple in peace." ”
When I turned around, I asked Chen Zhixian to get rid of you, Li You said with hatred in his heart.
Jiang Dian Shi saw that Li You actually pointed out that Dai Miaozhu was fake, and while guessing what kind of plot there was in it, he severely fined Dai Miaozhu thirty taels of silver.
The plaintiff, Qin Yuanwai, stepped forward and said, "Thank you Lord Li for upholding justice, I don't know if I have the honor to be the host and invite my lord to appreciate it." "At this time, I saw the main master, and I was angry with Dai Miaozhu, so it was a serious thing to quickly make friends with Master Li.
In other words, in recent years, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and the calligraphy, painting and antique industry has become popular again. There is a bookstore outside Qin Yuan, although he has not been able to pass the examination for more than ten years, but he also regards himself as a literati and scholars, and likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of celebrities. This Master Li is worth a lot of potential, and his handwriting is rare and expensive, which is very worthy of collection. According to this momentum, it should not be a problem for a word to rise to more than one hundred taels after he dies, but it is a pity that Master Li is young and strong, and it is not easy to die of old age and illness early, and the payback period is a little long, Qin Yuanwai analyzed very professionally in his heart.
For this person who wants to collect his own inscriptions, Li You still has a good impression, and praises him in his heart for having a vision! I also really sympathize with him and almost got deceived... casually asked, "Your surname is Qin?" How do you make a living? ”
Qin Yuanwai replied: "In the bookstore run by the owner of the next family, there is also a small silk weaving yard. ”
Hearing the word silk weaving, Li You was heartfelt, so he put down the shelf and said: "The official invites you to drink tea, asks you about something, and hopes to tell you the truth." ”
Qin Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this, "I live in Fuxin Lane in the next house, and there is a high-quality tea, dare to invite adults to taste it!" ”
Fuxin Lane... Li inspected the place that sounded familiar.
