Chapter 56: The Beginning
When Zhou Xuan said this, although her expression was very flat and her tone seemed to be understated, Su Shi could feel that she was serious.
Because of this, Su Shi looked at Zhou Xuan blankly, like looking at a madman, and was speechless for a long time.
A painting boat worth 350,000 taels of silverβand it's a painting boat that lays golden eggsβin exchange for an ice-making technique that will never be used.
Whoever commits this behavior is like a madman.
"You're rich?" Su Shi asked.
In addition to this reason, Su Shi couldn't think of any other reason even if he wanted to break his head.
But he still couldn't understand it, because Su Shi was also very rich before, but he would never do such an inexplicable act.
"If you don't think this boat is enough, we can talk." Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then said resolutely.
"Why?"
But Zhou Xuan didn't seem to want to explain to him, just looked at him quietly and said, "You should know that I am very sincere in talking to you about this business." β
Su Shi had to admit that Zhou Xuan was indeed very sincere, and this sincerity simply surprised him.
"And I have my own reasons for doing it." At this time, there was a lonely look on her face, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's just that this reason is not enough for outsiders." β
"What if I insist on knowing?" Su Shi asked with some curiosity.
Zhou Xuan was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Even if I say it, you won't understand." β
When Zhou Xuan was silent, her eyes showed a trace of exhaustion, and her expression became a little confused, as if some kind of burden was pressing on her, making her unable to relax in the slightest.
Su Shi didn't ask her why she did this again, because Zhou Xuan's words made him feel infinite emotion, wouldn't he himself have a lot of things that are not suitable for outsiders.
After a long time, Su Shi said slowly: "Can you give me a few days to think about it." β
Without waiting for Zhou Xuan to speak, Su Shi continued: "I still say the same thing, I have no interest in talking to other people before I finish talking to Miss Zhou, so you don't have to worry." β
"I wonder how long Su Gongzi needs to think about it?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "It seems that I still have a gamble with Dongyuan Library, and after the gamble is over, I will naturally give Miss Zhou an answer." β
Although Zhou Xuan left a good impression on Su Shi, Su Shi had to keep a hand, because he knew that in the face of huge interests, character was really worthless.
Hearing Su Shi's answer, Zhou Xuan seemed to be relieved, she smiled, and at this time, the sunset shone on her face through the window lattice, and this smile was as bright as a flower blooming, Su Shi couldn't help but be stunned.
After Su Shi left the study, he walked down the stairs.
When Su Shi appeared at the staircase, the big man on duty at the staircase looked at Su Shi dumbfounded.
Because except for a few three or four people, there has never been a man who can climb the third floor of the painting boat, not even him.
And it was clear that Su Shi was not among them.
As for how Su Shi got up, he didn't know, but he had already thought about how Su Shi should get off the boat.
The big man clenched his fists, just waited for Su Shi to come down, grabbed him like a chicken, and then threw Su Shi into the mirror lake from the second-floor window.
When Su Shi still had two steps to go down to the second floor, and the big man was about to make a move, Zhou Xuan's graceful figure appeared at the staircase, and suddenly shouted: "Su Gongzi." β
Su Shi looked back blankly and looked at her puzzled.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I just heard that the prince of Qin Yue of the Qin Mansion was looking for Gongzi everywhere on the boat, delaying Gongzi Su's time, and I ask Gongzi to forgive me." β
Su Shi was slightly stunned: "Qin Yue is looking for me?" β
Zhou Xuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Although it is Qin Gongzi who is looking for you, there should be someone else who wants to see you." β
Su Shi suddenly realized, and immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you Miss Zhou for informing me." β
After speaking, his expression became relaxed, and even his steps downstairs were much lighter.
When Su Shi passed by the big man, he looked blankly into the distance. As for the idea of throwing Su Shi into Mirror Lake like a chicken, he had been thrown out of the clouds by Zhou Xuan the moment he appeared.
He was neither a fool nor a blind man, and in just a few words, he already knew that the relationship between the master and this young man was not simple.
But he only wished he was deaf and blind now, because there were many things he shouldn't have seen or heard.
Can't even think about it.
So when Su Shi passed by him, he was as motionless as a piece of wood, and even his breathing had stopped.
However, Su Shi didn't seem to notice him, and walked past him quickly, and only when Su Shi disappeared into the stairwell did he let out a long breath.
Cruise ships also roam on Mirror Lake. The boat drove very slowly and steadily, and if it weren't for watching the green hills approach, you wouldn't have felt the boat moving at all.
Su Shi looked at the green mountains and green trees wandering away, and sighed in his heart, after all, a moment ago, he almost became the owner of this boat.
But at this time, he didn't have much time to sigh, because since Qin Yue was in a hurry to find him, it was obvious that Qin Nan had something to say to him.
As for what Qin Nan wanted to say to him, Su Shi couldn't predict it for a while, so he was apprehensive in his heart.
When Su Shi reminded Qin Yue, his marriage contract with Qin Nan was no longer under his control.
Although this feeling of losing control made Su Shi very uncomfortable, he would still do it, he didn't want this marriage contract to be like a rope to tie Qin Nan to his side.
Of course, no matter how Qin Nan chooses, he will accept it.
Now the most important thing is to find Qin Yue, Su Shi came to the deck on the first floor, only to see that both sides of the ship were full of people, enjoying the scenery of Jinghu Lake with high spirits, and there was a great feeling of pointing out the country and inspiring words.
And everyone was dressed similarly, which made Su Shi unrecognizable for a while.
Su Shi had to go around the boat, but when he came down, he didn't even see Qin Yue's shadow.
He thought about it, suddenly patted himself on the head, scolded himself for being stupid, and then turned and walked towards the cabin.
Since Qin Yue was in a hurry to find himself, but he hadn't found it until now, how could he be in the mood to see the scenery, and he was bound to accompany Qin Nan in the cabin at this time.
However, after entering the cabin, Su Shi looked at the large and small rooms inside and felt a headache. Since Qin Nan can participate in the poetry meeting, there must be other talented women in this poetry meeting, and there is not a single woman on the deck, so she is naturally in this cabin.
If Su Shi knocked on the door one by one to ask, it would be strange if he was not regarded as a disciple by those talented women.
Just when Su Shi was at a loss, when he kept touching his nose, the cruise ship suddenly stopped, and after a burst of noise, a loud voice came from the deck.
"Please take your seats, the Mirror Lake Poetry Club is about to begin."
