Chapter 64: Song sells paintings
"Little Liuzi, is that old man Ling Zun?" Li Cheng asked Xiao Liuzi with a smile.
"Childe is talented, but I still can't hide it from Childe" Xiao Liuzi smiled bitterly,
"But as the saying goes, the virtuous don't avoid relatives, and it's true that my family is selling those drawing papers, and I guarantee that the quality is of the highest quality."
Li Cheng didn't say anything, but continued to ask, "Does Ling Zun know that you came out to do these things?" ”
"But my father doesn't know." Xiao Liuzi smiled bitterly again.
"Ling's honorable surname?"
"My father's surname is Song, and the word is express." Xiao Liuzi said.
Song Express??
Li Cheng was stunned with a capital letter, did this thing exist more than 1,000 years ago?
He jokingly said, "Then I guess you must have called Song Takeaway"
"Childe, how do you know?" Xiao Liuzi was shocked, at this moment, Li Cheng had become an omnipotent capable person in his heart.
How can there be such a person in the world, the unknown prophet, just like Sun Wukong's master, they are immortals with vast magical powers.
Amazing, amazing.
Li Cheng didn't explain too much, these takeaway and express delivery are the two largest companies in today's market, and they have entered thousands of households, but he didn't expect this era to be so advanced, these two pronouns have long appeared, or the relationship between father and son, it is really fate.
Li Cheng asked, "Little Liuzi, are you literate?" ”
"It's about the same as Sister Hongluan." Xiao Liuzi touched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Do you want to work under me?" Li Cheng saw that Xiao Liuzi was not bad, the most important thing was that he was a half-old child, he was not handsome, he would not steal his limelight together, and it was more convenient to do things under his hands, now there are more and more people on the construction site, and Li Da alone is obviously a little busy, if Xiao Liuzi is willing, it is not impossible to give him a position as a principal.
Xiao Liuzi asked suspiciously, "What does Childe do?" Where do you work? ”
After asking this sentence, he patted his chest and continued: "First of all, I don't do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, robbing houses, killing people and setting fires, my father once taught me that boys are born in the world, they should learn to be self-reliant, and don't do those villains, so what's the difference between them and traitors and villains in the court?" "An invisible temperament emanates from Xiao Liuzi, this is a kind of scholarly spirit, and it is a heroic righteousness that circulates between heaven and earth.
I didn't expect such a kid to have such great ambitions, no matter what, it seems that this master's teaching is indeed good, and this achievement is even in the original world, which few people can achieve, I'm afraid it's a great talent.
Li Cheng's interest in this old man Song is even stronger, perhaps, it is time to find a teacher for this group of girls in Xiaohe Village and those boys, the quality of life has improved, so the improvement of the spiritual level can naturally not be left behind, and the two-pronged approach is really good.
Came to the Song Mansion, Xiao Liuzi led Li Cheng to the hall to invite the master to come out, Li Cheng was also looking at this legendary house, this is a slightly dilapidated house, simple and elegant, although the living conditions are not too good, but it can be seen that the master's house is carefully decorated, quite a bookish aftertaste.
Not long after, Song Takeaway came, this is an old man over fifty years old, with slightly white hair, long beard and neck, the Tang Dynasty people have only lived past sixty years old, and fifty years old is indeed not young, but looking at Song Takeaway's appearance, he doesn't look like an old man who can be alive and kicking.
Walking beside Song Takeaway was an old man in a black robe who looked similar, if I guessed correctly, this should be a role like the housekeeper of the Song Mansion, but looking at the respectful posture that Song Takeaway and Song Express showed to them, they didn't look like a housekeeper.
After a polite gesture, Li Cheng said the purpose of this trip, and Song Takeaway was very happy when he heard it, although he was reluctant, he still sold some of his family's masterpieces to Li Cheng.
If these things are placed in the capital, it is still somewhat useful, and when they are brought to this desolate place, they are nothing more than some discarded things, and there are usually no people who know how to appreciate them, except for waste paper or waste paper.
At present, the situation of the Song family is not very good, he once became a feudal official of the Tang Dynasty, but that was only once, when he was demoted here, almost all the family property was copied, even the maids and servants who followed most of them ran away halfway, until there were only three or two big cats and kittens left, which was really miserable.
If it weren't for Li Cheng's help this time, it is estimated that the surplus food at Song Takeout's family would only be able to last for half a month, and after this half a month, he really didn't know how to survive in the next few days, a wife, a concubine, a son and a daughter, and there were five or six people who wanted to eat, and there was no other way out except to go out to do things.
"Old Man Song, what is the origin of your paintings? Why do I look so good? Li Cheng asked.
"These are the works of the old people who are used to being idle on weekdays, and they are searched from all over the world, many of them are Shang Tang works, and the Zhou Dynasty also has them, but most of them are left by the previous dynasty, is the son satisfied with this?" Song said.
Li Cheng nodded. "The style of painting is tactful but sharp, the curves are outlined in an orderly manner and do not look messy, one hook and one draw, showing a transcendent state of mind, which deserves to be everyone's work."
The matter of buying and selling paintings has almost been finalized, and later, Li Cheng said that he would ask Song to go out of the mountain to be a teacher, promising to eat and lodging, and pay the salary separately.
"Okay, thank you for giving the old man this opportunity, so that my old bones can continue to shine on this land."
Song Daigo pondered for a while and agreed, this was originally what he planned to do for a living, they all did the same thing, where was it different? And seeing Li Cheng like this, he talks elegantly, behaves politely, dresses decently, elegantly and simply without losing his grace and luxury, and is also the destination of a good family.
Li Cheng said: "Old man Song, that's the case, I'm now starting a big project, but suffering from the lack of experience in managing things under my hands, the progress of the project has lagged behind a lot in the past few days, and today I have entered your mansion, but let me see a talent who can speak well, I think if he comes to my hands, it will be of great help to me." Please rest assured, I will not treat him badly. ”
Song asked, "I don't know who the son wants?" ”
Immediately, he calmly said, "As long as it is a person in my house, the son can call it, it doesn't matter if he can't pay the salary, the son can give me such a teaching career is already a great gift to us, how dare I ask for your remuneration again?" ”
It's a good guy, yes. Li Cheng nodded, and his impression of the Song family went to the next level.
Then, Li Cheng vaguely asked Song Express to come to his subordinates to do things, when he made this request, Li Cheng actually didn't have much bottom in his heart, it is not difficult to see that the little sixth son is Song Express It should be the only seedling of this family, and looking at the age should only be thirteen or fourteen years old, can Song Takeaway rest assured that such a half-old boy will be handed over to him, an outsider who has just met for a while, Li Cheng does not dare to pack a ticket in this matter, even if it is guaranteed by words and deeds, empathy, if he encounters this situation, that eighty percent also refuse, tiger poison does not eat children, and it is a human.
There was no surprise to Li Cheng, and Song Takeaway really didn't say anything about it, just as Li Cheng thought.
In Song Takeaway's view, Song Express is still young, not deeply involved in the world, lacks a sense of the overall situation in doing things, and is easy to be deceived, and Song Takeaway is not worried about him going out.
Li Cheng said his welfare conditions with a smile and promised that he would not treat Song Express badly. To tell the truth, whether it was before or now, Li Cheng has always attached great importance to talents, even if he has transcendent power now, people are the basic force for the development of this society, but the decisive force is often those who are named geniuses.
Xing imperial examination, eight shares, hundreds of schools, which one is not because of individual talents and set off the reform of the times, Li Cheng is not a ruler, he thought that it is not so long, but if Song Express can go to him to work, then this management will undoubtedly be a lot relaxed, and at the same time the efficiency can be improved a lot, these things can not be given by the system, this belongs to the unique charm of the individual, precious.
"Okay, then the dog will be bothered by the son, the dog is still young now, if you accidentally bump into the child, please forgive the son."
Song takeaway only then agreed to come down when he heard the words, the speaker had no intention, the person who heard it had a heart, and Song Takeaway's hammer was set to make Song Express on the side happy.
To be honest, he has long had the idea of wanting to have a big fight with Li Cheng, but this thing is not something he can think about, not only to consider Li Cheng's meaning, but also to consider his father's meaning, as long as one of these two parties does not let go, then his thoughts are tantamount to unrequited love, and there will be no result at all.
Now it's okay, the two mountains have been bulldozed, and all that's left is the time for him to make a big move.
Time passed quickly, and after nagging for a while, Li Cheng was ready to leave, his goal had been achieved, and even said that it had been overachieved, which was better than the expected result, Xiao Liuzi, that is, Song Express, also followed Li Cheng's side, this time he followed openly, not like before, for fear of being discovered by his father, so he was beaten by Song Takeaway.
When he got out, Li Cheng already had a lot of precious calligraphy and paintings in his hands, although Song takeaway was half sold and half delivered, but even so, these things together cost Li Cheng a huge sum of money of 20 taels of silver.
Li Cheng believed that in addition to the amount of such a large transaction, he could afford it, and there was absolutely no second person in this city who could afford or was willing to pay for these things.
