Chapter 45: About a Hundred Taels

Qi Liangzheng twisted his eyebrows and listened to her, his eyes were unfathomable, and he opened his mouth inexplicably after half a ring.

"What's your name?"

Ying Zhichu looked at him in surprise, blinked, and said, "My name doesn't sound good." ”

"Say." His voice was cool, but there was a threat in it.

"Should...... My name is Ying Zhichu, and Childe asks what this is for? ”

He didn't answer, got up and walked over to the bookcase, pen and pen on the paper.

He stood in front of the bookcase in white, although his posture was elegant, he exuded uninhibitedness, and then raised his eyes to look at her, which had been replaced by a triumphant smile, "Come here." ”

Ying Zhichu did not doubt that he was there, and walked slowly to the bookcase.

The fingers covering the rice paper were gently removed, and a line of small words fell into his eyes.

-- Ying Weaving originally owed Qi 999 taels of silver on credit, and returned it within 10 days.

She stared at the small words twice, and couldn't help but say, "Childe, what does this mean?" ”

"Since you have come to see me, the matter of reporting to the official will be settled. But you still have to pay back the medicine money, this is an IOU. ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Ying Zhichu's little face was twisted into a ball, and the flattering words she said just now were worth a tael of silver?

Seeing that she was standing still, Qi Liang added a sentence: "If you lose the note, the arrears will be doubled." ”

"Ahem, Childe's handwriting, it's really well written." She gritted her teeth and carefully put the IOU into her purse, her fingers trembling slightly, eager to crush and throw it in his face.

"Oh, that's nature." He gave her a funny look and sat down in his chair.

"If you want to repay the money, you have to hurry up, and I will still send you to see the official after a long time."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He put two fingers on his forehead, like a dashing son, but his belly was black inside.

Ying Zhizhi stood beside him with a bitter face, and the tip of her nose smelled the crape myrtle fragrance that made her dizzy.

Silently thinking in her heart, a thousand taels of silver, where can she get so much money, she wanted to steal the piano and take a shortcut, but who knew that she stole a thousand taels of IOU and came out.

"One thousand taels...... I don't have that much money. She murmured to herself.

Qi Liang looked at her sad face, and said kindly, "I have a good idea." ”

She glanced at him wryly, waiting for him to dig a hole.

"Ming'er, Li Gongzi, the son of Prime Minister Li Cheng, asked me to have a small gathering, if you go with me, you will be counted as your ......"

"A thousand taels?" Her eyes lit up and shone brightly.

He smiled and said regretfully, "One hundred taels." ”

"Oh." Her eyes drooped in disappointment, her fingers clutching at the hem of her clothes hatefully.

lowered his eyelids and stopped looking at him, his heart was filled with hatred, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat him, the silver needles in his sleeve pocket would all be pierced at him, so that he would never forget it.

"What about you...... Promise? He asked coldly.

Ying Zhichu heard the annoyance in his words, and felt inexplicable.

"I miss my son, so I am naturally willing to follow."

She rolled her eyes in her heart after she said the fake one, did she have a choice?

She said no, can she get out of this yard alive?

"Tomorrow, you'll be waiting for me at Baishui Bridge."

……

Ying Zhichu had a huge debt of 1,000 taels and walked out of Qi's house with a frustrated face.

She felt like she couldn't sleep all night tonight.

"Tomorrow, I want to buy two chicken legs to pay a good tribute to the land master, tonight is really unfavorable!"

β€”β€”

The moon is cloudy, and the cool breeze enters the house.

The courtyard of Qi's mansion was silent.

He threw the pen he picked up on the desk and snorted coldly, "Come out." ”

The door of the huge study was wide open, and as soon as the words fell, a man in silver flew down from the eaves, stepped into the room, and bowed to the ground.

Qi Liangzheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the low couch, and there were still wrinkles on it, which was evidence that she had been here.

"Do you know what's wrong?" He retracted his gaze, glanced at the silver-clothed man, and asked Liangliang.

"The subordinates are reckless, and the adults atone for their sins." Dark Wind lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"Reckless? With your skill, three dark darts failed to kill her, which is indeed a bit reckless. ”

Dark Wind's hanging fists clenched suddenly, only to feel a sharp blade on his heartstrings, and he demanded his life inch by inch.

"My lord, I ......" He wanted to defend himself, but he was clearly recognized.

"You instinctively killed her, but you deliberately kept your hand. Dark Wind, you dare to test me? There was anger in his eyes, but in his throat.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The subordinates don't dare! Dark Wind calmed his face and wanted to justify, but the cool breeze passed through his ears, and he suddenly raised his eyes and saw a phoenix needle hitting him directly, biting the tip of his teeth, and closing his eyes to accept it.

The phoenix needle pierced three inches away from the centrifugal port, and the dark wind held back the pain and said gratefully: "Lord Xie won't kill!" ”

"You were sent to me by the Queen Mother when you were young, but after all, you are the Eagle Guard I raised." Qi Liang got up lazily and walked to the silver-clothed man with his bare hands, but he didn't look at him, "Today's matter, there can be no next time." ”

"Yes!"

……

Following

Boshui Bridgeβ€”β€”

Ying Zhichu squatted at the entrance of the bridge in a cyan robe, looking at the pedestrians hurrying on the main road in a daze.

The light fell, and the strands of gold were scattered, reflecting the green hosta in her hair, which was clear and soft, and she puffed out her little face to look around, and her fingers unconsciously drew circles on the ground.

Qi Liang contended to meet her at Boshui Bridge, which is located between Xishi and Baishui Street.

The West Market is a street where commodity merchants sell goods, and most of the houses in Boshui Street are private houses, and meeting here is really not in line with his noble temperament, especially the temperament of a finger of ointment.

Who will eat here?

She tilted her head to look at the West Market, and saw a store with a lot of onlookers, she snorted softly, jumped over and joined in the fun.

This is a calligraphy and painting shop, and the plaque is written - Mobao Zhai.

Ying Zhichu raised his eyebrows and squeezed into the crowd.

I saw an old man in gray holding a scroll and bargaining with people in the store.

If you talk about familiarity, isn't this the old man who was beaten out in "Liuwen Lane".

The old man in gray pointed to the person in the painting and explained to the owner of the study.

The owner of the study only glanced twice, then shook his head and waved his hand.

"Your old man doesn't make drafts when he lies, how many years has this daughter of the Liang family been dead? A boy in brocade bought your painting, who else buys a dead man's painting now? ”

The old man in gray said: "It's true! This little daughter was in the school at the time, I was the best at painting her, at that time a painting could be sold for a high price of 100 taels, now as long as you are 3 taels, you will never lose if you receive it. ”

The owner of the study raised his forehead and said: "Old man, I see your age, I really can't bear to count you, you go to Qiushui Pavilion to take a look, isn't the little girl standing at the door of the flower building fragrant?" ”

The old man in gray said angrily: "Literati talk about painting, how can they be like you?!" ”

The owner of the study was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's really this time and that time, otherwise you change to paint the princess who left the country, I heard that the princess is beautiful and unparalleled, and the sales must be good, if you paint her, I will accept it and give you five taels of silver." ”

The old man in gray hesitated: "It's far away from Yu country, how can I trek through mountains and rivers to see the appearance of the princess from the country?" ”

The owner of the study laughed and said: "You don't have to trek through mountains and rivers, the princess who left the country is about to come to my country and kiss, you can wait well, and you can be hungry for half a month." ”

"We'll be waiting to see your paintings."

"Hahaha~"

The crowd laughed.

The gray-clothed old man's face turned red, and he turned around and left angrily, but when he stepped out of the study, he stepped on the air.

The whole person fell to the door, and the scroll in his hand also rolled to the ground.

Everyone avoided the side, and they did not dare to step forward.

The scroll rolled to her feet, Ying Zhichu picked it up casually, the scroll fell to the soil, she squinted slightly and saw the girl in the painting, thirteen or fourteen years old, the little face was a little ruddy, and the expression was a little sluggish, and the painting was really not good.

When the old man got up and stood firm, Ying Zhichu returned the scroll to him.

"Sir said there was a boy in a brocade coat who bought your paintings?"

"Yes, I ...... in Liuwen Lane a few days ago"

The old man in gray took the scroll, replied casually, looked up at the young man twice, and was shocked, and then left first.

After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look back.

Ying Zhichu didn't notice the old man's abnormality, she frowned and thought, remembering that the brocade box that she inadvertently opened in the Qi Mansion last night seemed to be also a painting?

"The Princess......
