Chapter Ten
Lin Yan is in a bad mood recently.
He was scolded by his father for being ignorant and looked down upon by his sister. Even the leading lady Liu in Weixiangyuan seemed to be a little distant from him.
What's even more unlucky is that a few days ago, I secretly went to Weixiangyuan to find Miss Liu, but I didn't bring my entourage around me, but was taken hostage by a group of bandits.
Although he survived from the bandit in the end, his father learned that he had gone to the brothel, he hung up and beat him up and locked him up at home, and explicitly prohibited him from going out again.
Think about the treatment of my sister at home, and then look at myself. They were all born by the same parents, so why is the difference so big?
Isn’t it because his sister is well-read in poetry and books, and she can do everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is known as the number one talented woman in Suzhou, which makes her face shine?
What is the future of studying?
What's so great about being able to recite poems?
Who wouldn't be the same when I said it very much?
So, Lin Yan wrote a proud work with a pen and went to show off to his father.
As a result, his father was scolded and insulted the sages, and he hung up and beat him up again...
After finally taking advantage of his father's business, he sneaked out of his house. I haven't been to Weixiangyuan for a long time, and Miss Liu must have missed him too.
Along the way, Lin Yan was thinking about what to buy to please Miss Liu, but suddenly he was blocked on the road.
"Preface to the Lanting Collection? What is it?"
Hearing the other party's words, Lin Yan's face showed a blank look.
The expression on Shen Qiao's face was also slightly frozen. Looking at the other party's confused expression, he secretly wondered if he had overestimated the level of ancient culture and education. The guy in front of him had never even heard of the preface to the Lanting Collection?
Even if you are a playboy, you shouldn't be so playboyed that you are ignorant, right?
Even if you don’t know the world, you have to hear it, right?
You haven't heard of it before, how can you cheat on you for money...
Shen Qiao was a little disappointed. The person in front of him was too stupid and was not within his target range.
Just as he was about to put away the Lanting Collection Preface in his hand and find another target, he heard a sound: "Slow down!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yan stared at the preface of the Lanting Collection in Shen Qiao's hand: "Is this what you wrote?"
Shen Qiao looked at him like an idiot. If he could write such a masterpiece, would he be cheating on the street?
"Whether you wrote it or not, are you going to sell it?"
Before Shen Qiao could answer, Lin Yan waved his hand: "How much is it? I bought it!"
Now, it was Shen Qiao's turn to be confused.
Why do you feel...what is wrong?
I don’t even recognize the preface to the illiterate Lanting Collection, but I have to buy the calligraphy and paintings in my hand... Is he sick?
Although I can't figure out what's going on, it's a fool to not do business. Shen Qiao immediately said, "One hundred taels, if you really want it, you can still be cheaper."
"Don't you look down on anyone, do you think I can't afford the money?" Lin Yan glared and immediately took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms.
What is atmospheric?
What does it mean to be stupid and have more money to make a fortune?
It doesn’t matter if you lose your family or your son, Shen Qiao is not his father anyway.
He likes such generous and generous customers who are rich and rich.
“…”
After getting the calligraphy and paintings on Shen Qiao's hand, Lin Yan's face showed an excited expression.
He had never heard of the preface to the Lanting Collection, nor did he know who Wang Xizhi was.
But he was not stupid either. When he first saw the calligraphy and paintings on Shen Qiao's hand, his eyes lit up.
Well written!
Very well written!
Although he can't say where is better.
But the long-term wandering in the romantic places and the intuition of the poor scholars and talented men told him that this calligraphy and painting is definitely a masterpiece.
I get used to being influenced by my eyes and my appreciation level will also improve.
He saw many calligraphy works of talented men and beautiful women, and those people boasted all day long that they were the saints of poetry and lyrics and the number one in the world.
But in Lin Yan's opinion, compared with the one in front of him, their calligraphy can only be considered garbage.
Lin Yan has done a lot of things in the past to buy poetry and make talented people. Miss Liu from Weixiangyuan admires talented people very much. In order to gain good face in front of Miss Liu, Lin Yan often finds people to buy poetry, calligraphy and paintings.
Lin Yan had a headache and what should he send to save his relationship with Miss Liu. Just in time, this calligraphy and painting will definitely make Miss Liu look at him with admiration, and maybe she can look at him with a different look. One hundred taels can make Miss Liu fall in love with her and make a lot of money!
Thinking of this, Lin Yan strode towards Weixiangyuan with great interest.
...
Seeing the other party leave happily, Chen Qiao fell into deep thought.
Is there something wrong with it?
If the other party knows what the Lanting Collection is, it will definitely be a big profit if you buy it for 100 taels. After all, even if it is fake, Shen Qiao's method of making fake and real tricks is enough to deceive the other party.
But if the other party doesn't know what the preface to Lanting Collection is, and spends 100 taels of silver to buy an unknown calligraphy and painting, there will be no other reason except for his brain disease.
Or are the rich people of this era so generous and careless?
Unable to figure it out, Chen Qiao no longer thought about it. Looking at the silver notes in his hand, Chen Qiao smiled with satisfaction.
No matter what the process was, he had already obtained one hundred taels, and he was one step closer to the goal of ten maids in the mansion.
Looking back, I saw Qiao'er on the side, her eyes wide open, her mouth slightly opened, and she looked at him in disbelief.
Qiaoer, who was standing by, could see clearly what happened just now.
Although I don’t know what’s going on, one thing that can be confirmed is that... a calligraphy and painting written by the young master sold for 100 taels of silver!!
In this era, a few taels of silver can make an ordinary family live a wealthy year.
One hundred taels of silver, an astronomical figure that even a coincidence could never imagine.
Moreover, Qiao'er remembered it very clearly that the calligraphy and paintings were the ones that the young master spent a few minutes the day before yesterday. At that time, she just thought that the young master's calligraphy was so beautiful.
I didn’t expect that the calligraphy and painting was worth 100 taels of silver!
No wonder the lady used to say that scholars have great prospects and asked her to study more. The young master is the kind of person who has great prospects that the lady said?
A young master can sell a hundred taels of silver for a pair of calligraphy and paintings. Now the uncles and uncles in the village will no longer laugh at the young master.
Suddenly, Qiaoer remembered something.
The day before yesterday, the young master bet with her that if the calligraphy and painting could be sold for 100 taels of silver, he would have to kiss her...
At that time, Qiao'er thought that the young master was joking and teasing her on purpose, but she didn't expect that the young master actually did it. Then wouldn't she...
Thinking of this, Qiao'er's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head.
Chen Qiao was immersed in the excitement of cheating the fool, but did not notice Qiao'er's strangeness. He raised the silver notes in his hand: "Let's go, tell the young master what he wants to buy today, buy them all!"
You can go a little further. When you have money, you have to improve your food first. Qiaoer is still growing and can’t feel wronged. Ye Rouzhu should be replenished somewhere, and maybe there is room for development.
After just two steps, Chen Qiao stopped again.
After earning the joy of making money, Chen Qiao seemed to feel something was wrong again.
"Qiao'er."
"Huh? What's wrong with young master?" Qiao'er, who was confused, suddenly heard Chen Qiao calling him, and her voice became a little nervous.
"Do you know Lantingxu?"
"Lantingxu?" Qiao'er blinked, her little head thought for a while, and nodded hesitantly: "It seems that I have heard of it."
Have you heard of it?
Qiaoer is the one who reads the most in Yejiazhai. Since she has heard of it, it proves that there should be Lanting Xu in this world.
Chen Qiao felt relieved.
At this moment, a dagger pressed against Shen Qiao's neck from behind, and a gloomy sound came from behind.
