"Do you really know how to read faces?" Su Shi looked at Su Zhou with some surprise.

In ancient times, metaphysics has always been very popular, Su Shi has seen a lot of wild history, and there are many strange people who are proficient in physiognomy, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was also this kind of person.

Su Zhou sighed, he really couldn't figure out why the poet who had just won the Jinghu Poetry Club would suddenly become so naïve, and even believe this kind of nonsense.

He couldn't help but joke: "Judging from your face, you have been moving recently, so I guessed that the Qin Mansion will send an invitation in the next two days." ”

Su Shi was stunned: "From the face, I saw the Hongluan star, is this looking at the face or the stars?" ”

At this time, a small servant hurriedly came, and then presented an invitation with both hands, and said: "The eldest son, the second son, Qin Yue, the son of the Qin Mansion, sent someone to send an invitation, and invited the second son to meet in the Qin Mansion tomorrow." ”

Su Zhou was still in a daze when he saw Su, so he took the invitation and put it on the table, saying, "Got it." ”

It wasn't until the little guy left for a long time that Su Shi seemed to understand, and he came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the eldest brother would also deceive people." ”

In Su Shi's mind, Su Zhou is strict and self-disciplined, unsmiling, although he is only twenty-six years old, his behavior is more rigorous than some old pedants, and he abides by the rules, so what he says, Su Shi rarely doubts.

Naturally, he wouldn't have thought that his eldest brother would joke with him about this.

The so-called physiognomy, red luan star movement, etc. are just ridiculous words, the reason why Su Zhou is so sure that the Qin Mansion will send invitations in the past two days is mainly because the three-day period has passed, since no one can make the next link, the Qin Mansion naturally wants to give Su Shi an explanation.

Moreover, at this time, Su Shi was in full swing, and it was appropriate to talk about the marriage contract between Su Shi and Qin Nan at this time, and any noise would be drowned out in Su Shi's reputation as a day.

After all, a person like Su Shi basically can't find a second person in Daqian, and if the Qin Mansion doesn't seize this opportunity, he will regret it in the future.

Everyone saw a little bit of it, and they all knew and were interested, and they would not invite Su Shi in these two days.

Su Zhou stopped talking, slowly left his room, and walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and asked, "What are you going to do today?" ”

Su Shi thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I don't know." ”

Now he is neither willing to work as hard as he did in his previous life, nor willing to be idle, drunk and dreaming like Su Shi in the past.

Before he knew his goal, he did whatever he wanted every day.

So Su Zhou's question he really couldn't answer.

"Was yesterday's poetry meeting held at the Antai Art Boat?" Su Zhou asked lightly.

"Antai Painting Boat?" Su Shi shook his head: "I only know that the painting boat is the largest painting boat on Mirror Lake." ”

"That's the Antai Painting Boat." Speaking of this, Su Zhou's heart seemed to rise with some emotion, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been there for a long time. ”

Su Shi looked at him curiously: "Did you go there often before?" ”

"I don't go very often." Su Zhou shook his head and said, "I've only been there three or four times in total. ”

At this time, Su Shi suddenly said, "I'm hungry." ”

This sentence has nothing to do with their current conversation, Su Zhou couldn't imagine that Su Shi would suddenly say this sentence at this time, so he couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Shi.

Su Shi explained: "When you mentioned the Antai Painting Boat, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't eaten since last night. ”

From last night to now, Su Shi not only hasn't eaten, but has also been the helmsman all night, plus he has been exercising when he gets up in the morning, so he is hungry now, so hungry that he can almost eat a whole chicken.

On the painting boat, in the study, Zhou Xuan sat quietly behind the desk, waiting quietly.

She didn't have to wait long, and when the first rays of sunlight shone on her face through the window, a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes and a Confucian robe pushed open the door of the study and walked in unhurriedly.

Not many people can climb to the third floor of the Aetna Painting Boat, and even fewer people can step directly into the study without even knocking on the door.

But the middle-aged man is accustomed to it, and Zhou Xuan also takes it for granted.

"I've seen Miss Zhou." Tian Wenhao arched his hand to Zhou Xuan, which was regarded as a gift.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Mr. Lao Tian has come hard, I will compensate Mr. here first." ”

"That's serious." Tian Wenhao said politely, and then asked, "I don't know why Miss Zhou is so anxious to find her master?" ”

Seeing that he was down to business, Zhou Xuan's face became serious, and he asked slowly, "Can you call the shots about the Dongyuan Library?" ”

"What does that depend on?" Tian Wenhao didn't answer directly, but said lightly.

"Can you call the shots in the gamble between Dongyuan Quaku and Su Shi?"

"Yes." This time, Tian Wenhao replied very simply.

"If I want to make peace from it and cancel the gamble between Su Shi and Dongyuan Reservoir, okay?"

Tian Wenhao groaned: "Miss Zhou is deeply valued by the master, so it is not impossible to say that it is impossible to cancel the gambling game, but it is just ......."

"Just what?"

Tian Wenhao smiled slightly: "This gambling game has been known all over the city, if Su Shi wants to cancel the gambling game, with the current situation, the price paid by the General's Mansion is only much higher." ”

In his opinion, Su Shi had no chance of winning the bet with Dongyuan Quality Library, and Su Shi was just acting rashly.

It seems that in the face of the General's Mansion, even if Su Shi loses the gamble, it is impossible for Dongyuan Quaku to really cut off one of his hands and gouge out one of his eyes, but he must also pay the corresponding price.

What's even better is that now Su Shi is the poet leader of the Jinghu Poetry Club, and his momentum is unmatched for a while. When he wanted to come to Nasu, in order to avoid his reputation being damaged by gambling, he would ask Zhou Xuan to make peace.

As for why Zhou Xuan helped Su Shi, he didn't need to know, but the price that the general's mansion should pay was not less.

At this time, Zhou Xuan's expression became very strange, she looked at Tian Wenhao and asked, "What kind of price do you want the General's Mansion to pay?" ”

Tian Wenhao silently calculated in his heart, and said with a smile: "One hundred thousand taels of silver and Chen Xiaolan were enslaved in the pledge warehouse. ”

These two conditions are already very reasonable in Tian Wenhao's opinion, although 100,000 taels of silver is a lot of money, but it is not enough to make the General's Mansion hurt, and even Chen Xiaolan, I believe that neither Su Shi nor the General's Mansion will take her to heart.

Zhou Xuan smiled noncommittally and said lightly: "Su Shi also put forward the conditions for canceling the gambling game, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Listen to me." Tian Wenhao said neatly.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "The condition proposed by Su Shi is that Dongyuan Quality Library will compensate him for 100,000 taels of silver, plus a shop in Chen Ji. ”
