Chapter 14 Selling Marriage Certificates
Li Chenan left Yanyu Pavilion just like this.
With Zhongli Ruoshui behind his back, he looked at the others.
He started jogging and gradually disappeared from their sight.
His goal has been achieved, because Hua Manting finally used the terms "little brother" and "old brother", and even said that he would be waiting on the bed. This means that he is looking forward to the next meeting.
Because of that poem, Hua Manting had developed a strong interest in him and placed him in a position as high as himself.
This is the experience gained from the previous life——
If you want to gain someone's respect, it's not because of your kindness, but because of your strength!
Hua Laodaru's strength lies in his profound knowledge, so his own strength must also be reflected in the poetry and articles that he attaches most importance to.
very good.
Li Chen was so happy that he went to ask Mr. Hua for calligraphy in the evening. If he could invite this old man to sit in the tavern when it opened, the style of the tavern would be different.
He returned to Erjinggou Alley. Today he had to buy grain for making wine, and he could try making wine tomorrow.
Everything was according to his own plan, he didn't bother with any effort, and he spent his whole life guarding the tavern.
very good!
"very good!"
In the Misty Rain Pavilion, after Li Chenan left, Hua Manting also said these two words.
"This is a relatively simple poem. In terms of literary attainments, it cannot compare with the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers", but it is natural in nature, smooth and natural, and has a fresh charm."
Hua Manting asked Su Muxin to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the book box and write down the poem, and then said: "This boy, I don't understand it anymore."
"There are hundreds of poems about Chun and Wing Chun all over the world, but most of them are about hurting spring and feeling sad about spring. But this song "Green Xing'er" is different. Its artistic conception changes from the dull distress in the upper part to the clear joy in the lower part.
.”
"With the company of fine wine, no worldly things to worry about, whether there are flowers or not, spring will always be there, and the spring scenery will always be infinite."
"This is such a broad vision, such an open-minded mind... I am ashamed of myself!"
"Therefore, the beauty of this word lies in two words - transparency!"
"He is only seventeen years old, and I am nearly seventy... He can no longer choose spring and autumn, but I am still melancholy and confused in spring and autumn, so I am not as good as him!"
"In addition, I am convinced that he was hiding his clumsiness before. This little brother has already lived a full life. There is no such young man in the world!"
Hua Manting's praise for Li Chenan far exceeded the imagination of Zhongli Ruoshui and others.
They were all stunned, and then they realized that this guy really had a great talent.
The arrogant and arrogant Su Muxin, the leader of the four great talents in Kyoto, lowered his head at this moment. From the lyrics of the song "Green Myolie", he had already seen how small he was compared to that boy.
Whether it is his attainments in poetry or his broad-mindedness in dealing with people.
Zhongli Ruoshui was filled with joy, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Ning Chuchu recalled the chance encounter in this misty rain pavilion on the third day of March, and she suddenly laughed, "I never expected that a random person I met would be so praised by Mr. Hua."
She looked at Zhongli Ruoshui with some provocation in her eyes: "Yao Guang was sent to Mobei by me. The Lijing Division is missing one person in Guangling City. It just so happens that the Lijing Division needs someone to investigate something. This guy's name is in Guangling.
Although the city has become a household name because of the Shen family's breakup of engagement, everyone still thinks he is that stupid young man..."
"With this identity cover, he can do a lot for Lijing Division."
Zhongli Ruoshui was not happy when he heard this, "Tell me, do you think my uncle from the Zhongli Mansion needs to take such a huge risk to work for the Lijing Division to earn a living?"
Ning Chuchu suddenly laughed and raised her eyebrows: "First of all, he is not your third lady's fiancé yet, but don't forget that he is not interested in your literary society to choose a son-in-law based on literature. Can you guarantee that he will be selected into your Zhongli Mansion?
The glory and wealth?”
"Secondly, isn't he going to open a tavern? If his business really succeeds, can you guarantee that he will not be suppressed by the wine merchants in Guangling City?"
"Besides, he beat those people in the Li Mansion. After all, he has been kicked out of the house. I heard that they have submitted a lawsuit to the government against him. Although your Zhongli Mansion can easily suppress the lawsuit.
But doing this will not do any good to your Zhongli Mansion."
"So by giving him the identity of a secret agent of the Mirror Division, the government will not be able to deal with him. It can also be regarded as a talisman for him. This will be of great benefit to him without any harm. You have to think clearly."
When Ning Chuchu said this, Zhongli Ruoshui immediately understood, but she was still suspicious of Ning Chuchu, "The secret agent's status is a bit low."
"Okay, then give him the Guangling embroidery envoy to take over Yao Guang's position."
Su Mubai on the side looked confused and envious. Then he asked: "That young man, who is he?"
"Li Chenan, have you heard of it?"
Su Mubai was shocked: "Li Wenhan's stupid son?"
Zhongli Ruoshui was not happy. She glared at Su Muxin fiercely: "Is he stupid? Is he stupid enough to write the two poems "Die Lian Hua" and "Qing Xing'er"?"
"Are you convinced that you lost to him? If you are convinced, you are worse than a fool! If you are not convinced, you should make a song that is better than him!"
Miss Zhongli, who was guarding her shortcomings, went into a rage, causing Su Muxin's face to turn red and pale with embarrassment.
Hua Manting felt that her head was a little big, but Ning Chuchu stabbed Zhongli Ruoshui at this time: "I said, his engagement with Shen Qiaodie has not been terminated yet, and you and him haven't even had a romantic relationship yet, so why are you so anxious?
"
"It's not like you deliberately delayed such a simple matter! By the way,"
Zhongli Ruoshui smiled at Hua Manting and said, "Grandpa Hua, have you mentioned the divorce between the Shen family and the Li family to Li Wenhan?"
"I mentioned it at Zhuxia Academy yesterday, but..."
Zhongli Ruoshui's heart tightened, "Don't agree?"
"No, I don't know what stimulated Li Wenhan. He hesitated for a long time and said that his son had to make the decision on this matter. In other words, if the Shen family wants to get back the marriage certificate, the Shen family should go to Li Chenan."
"Oh... But when it comes to marriage, aren't we supposed to obey our parents' orders?"
Ning Chuchu gave Zhongli Ruoshui another blow with her backhand: "Have you obeyed your parents' orders?"
Zhongli Ruoshui's little mouth murmured, but he was speechless after all.
But this did not deter the young girl Xicai from also liking this man. She stood up and raised her neck like a proud peacock, "I'm going to the alley in Erjinggou."
…
…
When Li Chenan returned to his home in Erjinggou Alley, his sister Li Qiaoxi was waiting for him in the backyard.
"elder brother,"
Li Qiaoxi was a little surprised when her brother was sweating, "What are you doing this early in the morning?"
Li Chenan took a towel and wiped the sweat from his face, "I went for a run. My body is a little weak. How is mother?"
"Mom is almost healed. Yesterday I went to Huichun Hall and asked Dr. Zhang to prescribe a prescription. I'll probably be cured after two more doses. By the way...Brother, dad went to mom last night."
Li Chenan took a bucket of water from the well in the corner of the yard and washed his face, "What's his attitude?"
"It's much better than before. My words...I feel a little guilty for my words."
"This is what dad gave me last night. He asked me to give it to you and said that it is up to you to make the decision on this matter."
"what?"
"It's the marriage certificate of the Shen family. Dad said that the marriage certificate cannot be returned. It's up to you to decide. I think it's better not to return it. After all, Miss Shen's family is well-educated and beautiful. If she becomes my sister-in-law, she may be the envy of many people.
"
Li Chenan laughed, rubbed Li Qiaoxi's head, took the marriage certificate, and threw it on the table.
"Come over tomorrow afternoon and do me a favor."
"Okay, what's the matter?"
"It's okay. I'm going to make wine. You can help me light the fire."
Li Qiaoxi's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "You can also make wine?"
"Your brother knows a lot of things. You will know when he brews it tomorrow."
The little girl's eyes were full of admiration, but she was still a little confused. She thought that since she has these abilities, why didn't she show them earlier?
If my father knew what I was capable of, I wouldn't have kicked him out of the house.
She suddenly remembered the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" that had been widely circulated in Guangling City in the past two days. She wanted to read it to her brother, but then she suddenly remembered that the poem was originally about the pain in her brother's heart, so she gave up the idea:
"Then I'll go back and make some medicine for my mother, and I'll come back tomorrow."
"Well, if anything happens at home, remember to come and tell me."
"good!"
Li Qiaoxi left happily, and Li Chenan went to the west wing to get the utensils needed for brewing made by the craftsmen. Not to mention, the craftsmanship was quite good.
He returned to the yard and picked up the marriage certificate again, only to find out that the girl named Shen Qiaodie was still half a month away from turning sixteen.
Of course he had to return the marriage certificate. After all, he didn't even know what the girl named Shen Qiaodie looked like. In fact, even if he knew, he still had to return it, because Li Chenan was the one who could get ahead, and now he had it.
There is no possibility of getting ahead with this body.
The ancients believed that getting ahead was the appearance of generals and generals, which was very different from their own understanding.
He has no intention of getting married now. First of all, since he has just arrived here, he must first find some property to put down roots.
Secondly, women, especially women who are always by your side, are indeed troublesome, affecting the speed of drawing the sword with your right hand.
Putting the marriage certificate in his arms and feeling for the three taels of silver left in his pocket, he felt a little worried, because to brew ten catties of wine, it would take about forty or fifty catties of grain.
It's enough to buy grain, but the distiller's yeast is a bit expensive.
In addition, after the decoration of the shop is completed, a labor payment must be settled, and we must find a way to get some money.
At this moment, a person walked in from the backyard.
This is a chubby, rather wealthy, middle-aged man, wearing a gorgeous forged robe. His name appears in his memory - Shen Qianshan!
This was supposed to be his father-in-law, but now he came here obviously because of the marriage contract.
Li Chenan laughed and felt that his luck was quite good.
I don’t know if anyone has ever done this kind of thing like selling marriage certificates before, but now he is planning to do it.
Chapter completed!
