Chapter 7: Chance Encounters

On the drawing paper, there is still a little ink left dry.

On the arched bridge, all the men and women were dumbfounded.

"He actually made a great song?"

"This ......"

"Good poems, good poems, every word is a pearl."

"As soon as this poem comes out, Xizi Lake, I'm afraid no one will dare to write poetry anymore."

On the arched bridge, there are people who are full of poetry and books, such a masterpiece, so that all the talented and beautiful people are intoxicated, and their mouths are repeatedly chanting these few verses.

Su Li's poem is like the finishing touch, and it also depicts Wang Ruoxi's painting more vividly.

Wang Ruoxi finished reading the poem repeatedly, although she was also very shocked in her heart, but her eyes were more focused on the words written by Su Li on the drawing paper.

"What kind of font is this?"

"Why haven't I seen it before?"

She has read poetry and books since she was a child, and if she talks about the breadth of her knowledge, I am afraid that no one can match it in this Lin'an City.

But she was sure in her heart that no matter when or where, she had never seen the font written by Su Li.

"Could it be that he created this font himself?"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"How old he is, it's definitely not something he can do at his age."

Wang Ruoxi shook her head lightly, throwing away the somewhat unrealistic thoughts in her mind.

Su Li didn't care whether others were shocked or not, after he turned around, his eyes were just staring at the fat man who had provoked him before.

"It's time for you to pay the price."

Su thought so. Jumping into the lake, it should be very beautiful, he has never seen it before.

Under Su Li's gaze.

At this time, the fat man who mocked him was already a loveless face.

"It's time to cash in on your bet."

"Let's jump."

The corners of Su Li's mouth smiled, but his tone was unquestionable.

There is no way he can forgive this fat man, if he hadn't written a poem at this moment, I'm afraid that this fat man would have jumped out long ago. He wouldn't believe that the fat man would show him kindness and let him go.

"You, you, you......"

The fat man's face was so frightened that he couldn't say anything. He is really in a dilemma now, this jump is not, not a jump is not.

As Su Li and the fat man talked, the other people on the arched bridge also slowly came back to their senses from the poem.

Their eyes all shifted to the fat man, and at this moment, everyone remembered the bet they made before.

There are people who gloat, and there are people who can't bear it.

"Let's jump."

"A spit and a nail."

"If you still admit you're a man, then jump in."

Su Li's tone was flat, but after he finished speaking, he never looked at the fat man again.

"I ......"

The fat man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat at this time, and his face was flushed. This decision is simply too difficult to make, if he jumps from here today, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will become famous throughout Lin'an City.

"Hey."

"If you know now, why bother in the first place?"

"If you want to blame him, you can only blame himself."

The people around him shook their heads helplessly, and all these results were all his own fault.

Seeing that the fat man was still standing there hesitating, Su Li did not continue to be stimulated by words, whether to jump or not, it was all up to him, he couldn't push him down.

In the eyes of everyone's admiration, surprise, and doubt, Su Li took Xiaoluo, and the two slowly walked under the arch bridge.

"Poof." A sound came from behind him.

Su Li, who had already walked a little far, had the corners of his mouth slightly curled. This fat man is still a man, but in the end he chose to fulfill his promise and jumped.

He didn't look back, he continued to walk, his eyes looking around at the scenery around him, looking extremely leisurely.

In the summer, Xizi Lake, Liu Chinese, the son of the Southern Chu Servant, made a bet with someone, lost, and then threw himself into the lake.

This news, within a day, spread throughout the entire Lin'an City. Liu Chinese has become the laughing stock of everyone.

The poems written by Su Li also spread to every corner of Lin'an City along with the laughter and laughter of the lake.

Su Li, in Lin'an City, was a blockbuster.

After leaving Xizi Lake, Su Li planned to take Xiaoluo to Prince Kang's mansion to meet his future father-in-law.

In any case, his wedding is already a foregone conclusion, and there is no room for redemption. Since he was already in Lin'an City at this time, he would not be able to escape sooner or later when he went to Prince Kang's Mansion to meet him.

Before he goes, though, he always has to go shopping for something. It's not good to go away empty-handed.

Su Li didn't care about Daqi's face. He was just a little worried, if he did too much, it would reach the ears of Emperor Jingde. The mother who lives in the deep palace will be implicated because of him.

That ruthless man, he couldn't have been careless.

On the street, there are many shops, people come and go, and it is not lively.

Su Li carefully selected some suitable gifts and handed them over to Xiaoluo. The gifts weren't very high-end, and the price wasn't too expensive, but with his current financial resources, it was the limit of what he could do.

However, in his mind, as the prince of Nanchu, there should be no shortage of these mundane things in his mansion, although the gift is light, but it can be delivered affectionately.

Su Li inquired from passers-by about the direction of Prince Kang's mansion, and was about to turn over and get on his horse to go. But suddenly, a luxurious carriage passed by him.

The body is made of mahogany, and the white veil of the window flutters in the wind. Two brass bells hung at the door of the carriage, and as we walked, "jingle bells" rang non-stop.

Su Li glanced at it with a little curiosity, then withdrew his gaze, and didn't pay much attention to it, he turned over and jumped on the horse, and was about to leave.

"Master Su, please wait."

A coquettish cry suddenly came, shouting at Su Li, stopping him from leaving.

"Phew."

Su Li hurriedly stopped the horses and looked back at the place where the sound came from.

He saw that the carriage that had just passed him had stopped not far behind him.

In the carriage, two pretty women came down and waited by the door. Seeing these two people, Su Li recognized them as soon as possible.

The two of them were the two maids who painted Wang Ruoxi's paintings in West Lake before. Then, the person in the car should be Ruoxi, the first talented queen of Lin'an City. It's just that she stopped him, what is the so-called?

Sure enough, the carriage got off Wang Ruoxi in a white gauze skirt.

"Please forgive Master Su, I don't know if I'm in a hurry?"

"If Xi has something to ask for, can you delay Su Gongzi for a while?"

Wang Ruoxi, who walked in front of Su Li, saluted him and said with a smile.

"I'm not in a hurry."

"Miss Ruoxi, please."

Anyway, it wasn't bad for this meeting, and Su Li didn't refuse.

In the box of a teahouse facing the street, Su Li and Wang Ruoxi sat opposite each other. The two maids and Xiaoluo stood quietly behind the two of them.

Su Li looked at Wang Ruoxi's flowing tea in front of him, and secretly admired it in his heart. This Wang Ruoxi, the name of a talented woman, is indeed worthy of her reputation. So versatile, she can even make tea so skillfully and elegantly.

"Master Su, please."

Wang Ruoxi gently placed the teacup in front of Su Li, signaling that he could taste it first.

"Good tea."

Su Li picked up the teacup, a rich aroma came to his nose, he took a small sip gently, and suddenly felt fragrant on his lips and teeth.

Longjing of Xizi Lake, "light and far", "fragrant and clear". The tea itself is excellent, but Wang Ruoxi's tea making skills are even better.

"Miss Ruoxi, what do you want to ask Su?"

"Please say it's okay, Su will definitely know everything."

Gently putting down the teacup, Su Li opened his mouth lightly and said to Wang Ruoxi.

"Then Ruoxi will be presumptuous."

"Su Gongzi wrote poems for Ruoxi before, and Ruoxi is grateful."

"Su Gongzi's talent is really admirable, it seems that the rumors are really harmful."

Wang Ruoxi also understood at this moment that Su Li was not as useless as rumored. He's really talented, but for some reason, it's not known.

Su Li looked at Wang Ruoxi, smiled slightly, and did not answer.

"Su Gongzi, Ruoxi wants to ask, what kind of font is the font of your inscription poem?"

"Ruoxi is not talented, and he is barely well-versed in ancient and modern times, but he has never seen or even heard of this kind of font."

"Please also ask Master Su to give me advice."

Wang Ruoxi was really curious about the font of Su Li's book.

"This ......"

Hearing Wang Ruoxi's question, Su Li lost his mind for a moment and fell into memory.

The person who taught him to practice calligraphy stroke by stroke was his teacher, Li Si.

"Whew."

"This font is thin gold."

"It was taught by my teacher."

"Perhaps, this font was created by him."

Su Li wasn't sure if the thin gold body was created by his teacher. It's just that the teacher's talent amazes the whole world, and he has already seen it, and the teacher didn't say it, so let's treat it as his own creation.

"Oh?"

"Su Gongzi's teacher talent is really amazing."

"I wonder where he is now?"

"Is Ruoxi honored to learn a thing or two from him?"

Wang Ruoxi, some expectations, this font is very good-looking, which makes her a little obsessed.

"He ......"

Su Li's face was very sad at this time.

"He's dead."

Every time he thought of his teacher, he was very sad. The man who gave him the most care since he was a child is no longer there.

"Young Master Su, I'm sorry."

"I ......"

Wang Ruoxi didn't expect that Su Li's teacher had passed away. Her question would make Su Li so sad, and she also felt a little blamed in her heart.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

yes, he's really used to it.

It's even been used to it for a long, long time.

Su Li hadn't thought much about it before, but at this moment, he also had some doubts in his heart.

Teacher, why does he seem to be omnipotent?
