On the way out of the back house, Li Yuanying listened to Fang Yiai's story, and couldn't help laughing, it is really a big world. After thinking about it, he thought of Chu Suiliang's bankruptcy in order to buy calligraphy and paintings, so he asked Fang Yiai: "Yiai, how much silver did you and Lao Tie pit Chu Suiliang?" He is a dignified counselor, and he is a well-known calligrapher and painter, and he is worth a lot of money, right? ”

"Ahem, no, not much, master......" Fang Yiai stumbled, looking at him left and right, he didn't seem to dare to say it.

It happened that the two of them had already arrived in the front yard of the palace, and Li Yuanying immediately put on a serious expression, which was absolutely like the two just now. After the two sides finished the ceremony, Li Yuanying ordered Yu Shinan to be given a seat, and then chatted about business.

Yu Shinan took out three notices, two of which were Li Yuanying's handwriting, and when he saw the third one, Li Yuanying and Fang Yiai were stunned at the same time, what happened? This Chu Suiliang meat is not taboo, the third one is written by Fang Yiai, you steal this kind of thing?

Yu Shinan apologized and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, these are your three handwritten letters, and now they are returned to their original owners!" It's all the apprentices who were confused for a while, and the old decay is also known today, and the disciples have no way, so they laughed. ”

Li Yuanying motioned for Fang Yiai to step forward to take it, and then said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "A few pieces of paper and a few words are trivial matters, not worth mentioning, and the secretary of Yu is serious!" Without a notice, I will be blocked again in the southeast lane of West City, and I will be like this again and again, but the people of Chang'an City are going to complain and scold me, bereavement, you go back and post it, remember, it's the third one. ”

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang's old face turned red, and he said anxiously: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you are all in the world, you are alone in the world, if you insult yourself for this, then it is difficult to escape the blame for the next ten thousand deaths......"

"Oh? Dr. Chu, why do you say this? Li Yuanying was puzzled.

At this time, Yu Shinan, the old minister next to him, said: "Your Highness, look at the old man's face, spare him this time." Originally, he didn't plan to return it, but when he saw His Highness's third notice, he replaced it with scribbled and unsightly writing, and immediately knew that he had made a big mistake, because he loved calligraphy alone, but let the people comment that King Qin's writing was difficult to get into the elegant hall......"

"Hey! Uncle Yu, no matter how ugly my words are, I can always recognize them, where is it unsightly? Before Yu Shinan finished speaking, Fang Yiai was not happy to interrupt and complain for herself.

"Huh? The last one was not written by His Royal Highness King Qin, but by you, General Fang Xiao? Yu Shinan's master and apprentice exclaimed in unison.

"That's right, if you don't change your name or don't change your surname, what did I write?" Fang Yiai raised his head confidently.

In less than three seconds, he was slapped by Li Yuanying, "What are you pretending?" It's not a shame to have ugly words in one hand, and you still have the face to shout so loudly? Go back to practicing calligraphy. ”

Fang Yiai's neck shrank, and he fled with a disgraced face, and Shi Xu Jingzong, the head of the Qin Palace, laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and he said in his heart that this pair of masters and apprentices is simply a pair of living treasures, the master is eclectic, and the apprentice is honest on the surface, but his heart is becoming more and more black.

Looking back, Li Yuanying joked with a smile: "I laughed, but I was also scared of stealing, and later my bereaved love said that if I changed him to write, his words can prevent theft, but I didn't think that Dr. Chu still did it......"

Chu Suiliang's face was flushed, and he was embarrassed to speak, and at this time, the teenage boy who had been following him without speaking spoke, said, "It wasn't stolen by my father, I stole it by revealing the notice on my own initiative!" ”

Well? Everyone looked at the boy. Chu Suiliang hurriedly covered his son's mouth and apologized again and again.

Li Yuanying just smiled but didn't speak, Xu Jingzong looked at Yu Shinan, and made a look, the two of them are both eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, so they are naturally more familiar, Yu Shinan shook his head and sighed, and reprimanded Chu Suiliang: "Enough!" Your Highness has already forgiven you, why hide it anymore, is this how you educate your son to be above board? Let Yanfu finish his words. ”

Chu Suiliang bowed his head and nodded yes, let go of his son Chu Yanfu, the little guy is about fifteen years old, but there is not much timidity, in front of everyone told what happened, it turned out that he was also a member of the diners who blocked the door, knowing that his father loved the calligraphy of King Qin, and secretly unveiled the notice and took it home with him on the spot.

At first, Daddy Chu Suiliang also reprimanded that this move should not be, but then when he saw the notice, he became more and more in love, so he reprimanded a few words, and did not ask for it to be returned, so there were two later indulgences and stealing. When he saw the third one, Chu Suiliang felt remorse and found his mentor to help him ask for his guilt.

Yu Shinan helped to make peace and said: "Your Highness, forgive me, for your handwriting, Sui Liang has already spent all his family property, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have made this decision......"

"Is there such a thing? However, apart from these notices, it seems that this king has never had any handwritten letters out, could it be that Dr. Chu has been cheated? Or who pretended to be the king and peddled calligraphy and paintings outside? Li Yuanying pretended not to know.

What??? Chu Suiliang's face turned pale, and he collapsed on the ground, his son Chu Yanfu hurriedly dragged it, Yu Shinan muttered: "This is strange, if it is not His Highness's handwriting, then whose calligraphy attainments can be compared to Your Highness?" Although Suiliang's calligraphy is slightly inferior, his eyesight will not be bad. ”

"Yes, yes! His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the calligraphy and paintings purchased here are exactly the same as those on your notice, and they are definitely from the hands of one person, I can see it. Although the paper looks like an ordinary practice of calligraphy, the key to calligraphy is the spirit of reading the words, but it is not important where it is written. Chu Suiliang said firmly.

Chu Yanfu next to him also chimed in: "That's right, I can testify that our family has spent all the savings of 20,000 taels of silver, and my father also said that it is worth the money......"

What? How much? Twenty thousand taels?

Li Yuanying stood up suddenly, and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, Fang Er, this kid, is also dark, just some waste paper for practicing calligraphy, you have cheated people for 20,000 taels of silver? No wonder Yuwen Chengdu went to the northwest to fight so actively this time, it turned out to be absconding with money! looked down at the unkempt Chu Suiliang again, and instantly felt that this product was so miserable!

"Your Highness, what are you?" Yu Shinan and the others all stood up, and they all looked at Li Yuanying, the king of Qin, who reacted so violently.

After coming back to his senses, Li Yuanying said to Changshi Xu Jingzong: "Changshi, transfer 20,000 taels of silver from the treasury of King Qin's mansion to Dr. Chu. ”

"This ...... How can this be? No, no, no! Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang refused at the same time, if they spent money to buy calligraphy and paintings, how could they let His Royal Highness King Qin pay? What has become of it? Did the master and apprentice come to the Qin Palace's mansion to collect debts and ask for food?

Li Yuanying held down Yu Shinan, turned his head and took Chu Suiliang's hand and said: "Doctor Chu, listen to this king, I have already guessed those calligraphy and paintings, and it must be that this kid who loves me to practice calligraphy on weekdays took the manuscript and sold it secretly, hey!" The family is unfortunate and the disciples have no way, see and laugh, long history, go and see if the bereaved love is still there? If you escape, you must know that you are at a loss.

Doctor Chu, how much money did you spend on this king, and Dr. Chu sent those manuscripts back, if you really like the king's words, you can come directly to the palace to communicate, and I will give you a pair of books in earnest, and you must not spend money to buy lessons. ”

Spending money to buy lessons? This...... Hahahaha, what a lesson to buy! Yu Shinan laughed.

A moment later, Xu Jingzong came back to report that General Fang Xiao was not in the palace, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin was like a god. In fact, he really didn't escape, only the people in the Qin Palace's mansion knew that Xu Jingzong didn't go to find a house to bequeath, but to handle the silver matter.

Although Li Yuanying spent a lot of money on this day, he successfully won the authentic calligraphy and painting of Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang as an apology exchange, and it was definitely not a loss.

"Lord Wang, the ladies have packed their luggage, do you want to leave for the West Market Tavern now? Why don't you go to the tavern to arrange it again? After sending off the guests, Xu Jingzong asked about business.

Li Yuanying said with a smile: "No, the tavern does not live in outsiders, including the maids and servants, and the maids and servants of several ladies are all left in the palace, you can take care of the affairs of the palace, go to the tavern every three days to attend a family banquet, and report your work by the way." ”

After arranging the affairs of the palace, Li Yuanying personally drove a large four-wheeled carriage and took the seven ladies towards the West Market. Can the Seven Ladies really be at ease as runaways in the tavern? Xu Jingzong expressed doubts!
