Chapter 481: Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"I'm going to take these pictures of yours and use those donations to help you realize your dreams. Don't you want to set up a factory and build a women's and children's bureau? This money is at your disposal. It seems that Li Sheng has already helped Shen Anan think of the problem of financial difficulties, with these paintings, she wants to run a garment factory, and the studio is not a problem.
He knew that if he directly funded Shen An'an, he would definitely oppose it, so she should have no reason to object.
Shen An'an's reaction was indeed not what Li Sheng expected.
"Really?" I saw that her eyes were round, and the expression on her face was very rich, looking at the little face with a little flesh, she was a little cute.
"Of course it's true, when did Xianggong lie to you." For this, Shen Anan believes in him. But this news is too sudden, which is a good thing, but she is still a little reluctant to sell it all. After all, these are her brains.
"Do you have to sell all these paintings? There are two pairs that I am a little reluctant to wear. Shen Anan looked at the painting of Yanyu Jiangnan and the cartoon of the apology, these are paintings with stories. And it has something to do with their love story.
"You decide for yourself, and we'll stay what you want." After Li Sheng finished speaking, he reached out dotingly and stroked Shen An'an's head, gently hugging her thin waist. I just feel a peace of mind and very satisfied.
"Xianggong, you're so good." At this time, Shen Anan was relieved, leaned his head lightly on his shoulder, and then took advantage of his inattention, secretly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
At this time, Li Shengleng froze, and when he saw someone next to him, he inadvertently blushed.
Shen Anan watched from the side, and his heart blossomed.
"Then let's go and see the others."
The two of them held hands again and went to see other people's paintings, a few of which were not bad, and most of them were quite mediocre.
However, in the auction of the final paintings, the atmosphere was quite lively.
A few of Shen An'an's paintings were auctioned at a good price, about a few hundred taels. One of them took the most pictures, and that person was the man in white with two bodyguards by his side.
The man took a few pictures of Shen An'an, and a few more, and then left.
No one knew the man's identity.
"I didn't expect Miss Shen to be a talented girl, your paintings are really valuable. Today, I have gained a lot of knowledge, and a small painting is so sought-after. "Zhou Yuanlang is a person who is used to holding a knife in his hand, and he feels that these poems and paintings are very far away from him, but he didn't expect that those few paintings today can be worth hundreds of taels. It was an eye-opener for him.
I think he looked for people everywhere in order to raise military salaries, but he couldn't get help. Those people don't say that the taxes are serious and the business is difficult, but they say that the family has no money. Unexpectedly, when they bought these paintings, they were more generous than one another.
This invisibly taught Zhou Yuanlang a lesson.
It seems that no one, anything, can be seen on the face of it. Just the two things that happened in the painting club today can give Zhou Yuanlang a new understanding of Shen Anan and Li Sheng.
People can't look good, Li Sheng is not a simple businessman.
"Is the general still short of money? These are just trails. It's not that some people say that playthings are demoralized, but there are some things in this world that cannot be measured by money. And the people who spend money to buy it, just look at whether it's worth it or not, and don't think too much. ”
Zhou Yuanlang thought about it and felt that it was too. It's just that my mouth is too stupid to think of a good way. Busy said: "I don't know if Gongziguan doesn't care about the current situation, that's very bad." In addition, disasters have occurred in many places, and many people have been displaced. Even the food and salary in our army are seriously insufficient, and my soldiers can eat three meals a day. Now, in order to save food, only two meals a day are eaten, and one of the two meals is diluted. ”
Shen An'an and Li Sheng couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't the imperial court know about this situation?" There is a shortage of food in the army, there is no food to eat, so how can those soldiers fight. ”
"Hey, I won't tell you both, I'm here for this purpose. However, after a long time of talks, nothing came of it. Li Gongzi, can you help me think of a way to see if I can raise some military rations for me in the short term. ”
"This, you make me think about it. Our Li family can come up with some pure grain, but it is not enough for us alone, it is better to mobilize others. In fact, I don't want to hide it from the general, our charity sale of these paintings this time is also to prepare for the establishment of the Women's and Children's Bureau in An An. There are also many displaced people in Taoyuan County, who have no fixed residence. Li Sheng briefly explained to Zhou Yuanlang.
"So that's the case, the righteousness of the two really makes Zhou admire." Zhou Yuanlang realized that they had done the same thing as himself, and he immediately became a lot closer to them.
A few people walked outside, and saw Shen Anting waiting for them over there from a distance, and a few sedan chairs were prepared next to them, which seemed to be prepared for them.
"Brother!" Shen An'an walked forward, and Shen Anting looked at her. He already knew about it. couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What is the matter between you and General Zhou?" ”
Since Shen An'an was injured last time, his nose has become very sensitive, except for Li Sheng, no one else knows, and Shen Anting doesn't know.
So when he heard about it, he also felt a little incredible. You have to believe that it's true. But he is several years older than Shen An'an, but seeing this girl grow up at home, there shouldn't be such a thing.
"Brother, don't think too much, it's General Zhou who thinks too much, I explained that he doesn't believe it, and I can't help it."
"And how do you know about that secret recipe?"
"I guessed it." Shen Anan whispered in his brother's ear.
"You can guess that."
"Well, my tongue can taste something. Otherwise, how can you think that the dishes I make will be better than those made by others? ”
Shen Anting understood, nodded and said, "Then you explain to the general, he understands the righteousness and will definitely be able to understand." ”
I explained, but he wouldn't listen. I insisted that I was her lost sister, and she wanted to take me home to meet the elders of the family. ”
Shen Anan was also a little crying and laughing, the so-called smart was mistaken by cleverness, and she lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot, probably talking about her.
"So what now?" Shen Anting asked.
"I can only go with him once, it's a big deal to see the people in their family, and then explain, there must be reasonable people."
Shen Anting nodded and said, "That's the only way." By the way, I haven't blessed you with a wedding yet, and seeing that he is good to you, I, as an elder brother, am also relieved. ”
"Brother, sister and I are married, do you have a sweetheart, but you have to step up?"
"Brother's thing is still early, haven't you heard? Men first start a business and then start a family, besides, our General Zhou has not yet started a family. ”
"What? You characters like General Zhou didn't even get married? ”
