Meng Xinghe came to the center of the cloud platform. The maid had already prepared the things he had ordered: a bench, a brand new brush, two pieces of high-quality rice paper for drawing, and a clean inkstone.
The Four Treasures of the Study prepared three things. I don’t know what kind of medicine Meng Xinghe sells in the gourd.
At this time, Meng Xinghe didn't want to finish the mystery. He quickly put it in front of everyone on how to identify whose rouge is good, so that everyone can make an appraisal.
Spread the paper and pour the throat fat gouache from each family into the inkstone. Meng Xinghe laughed and said, "I will know if you can tell the difference." (After he said it, pour the Chai family's fine gouache into the inkstone first.中. Added a little tea in a tea cup and started to paint in an auspicious manner. Only then did everyone understand that Meng Xinghe wanted to use rouge and ink to paint. But what's the use?
However, when everyone was confused about what he was thinking, Meng Xinghe, who thought he could still paint a few paintings, had already completed the first painting using Chai Rouge.
Meng Xinghe did not stop writing. He continued to paint without finishing. After the maid asked softly, he brought a clean inkstone and brought a cup of hot tea. The purpose of this was to make people believe that the two paintings were the same. No one Hands and feet.
When the maid brought what Meng Xinghe wanted, Meng Xinghe took a sip of hot tea and soon drew a picture with the Bai family's gouache.
Okay. Meng Xinghe sighed to himself. Looking at the two identical pictures of beauties drawn by him, he suddenly smiled. He stood up and came to the two ladies. He said: "The results are out. Misses, please be careful." look.
The two young ladies did not understand what Meng Xinghe said. Like them, everyone was also confused. Only the old man who had been on good terms with Meng Xinghe before touched his beautiful beard and laughed. He looked at Meng Xinghe in surprise. It's like painting on his rouge. It's both novel and matching.
All will be revealed soon.
Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Meng Xinghe's painting. They remained motionless. It was as if everyone wanted to see through Meng Xinghe from beginning to end. What extraordinary ability was there in Meng Xinghe? He could distinguish between the two most extreme rouges and gouache.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. When everyone focused their attention on Meng Xinghe's paintings, they didn't notice that there was a dark fragrance floating in the air. And it was precisely because of the existence of the dark fragrance that Meng Xinghe, a third-rate painter with a flat foot, became obsessed with painting. The painter has become the most talented master in the Dongdu painting circle.
When the breeze blew, something strange seemed to be sounding in the air. Those who stared at Meng Xinghe's beauty picture and wanted to see how he would end miserably noticed the subtle changes at this moment.
"Everyone, look. What is that?" A few people with good eyesight in the crowd had already seen some tiny black dots in the sky. After a while, they said in disbelief: "It's the Penglai fairy butterfly. According to legend, it only appears when the flowers are in bloom. Fairy butterfly. It’s incredible.
Butterflies, colorful butterflies, flew continuously from the clouds. They slowly landed on the beauty picture by Meng Xinghe and danced gracefully.
At this time, everyone understood that Meng Xinghe used rouge and ink to paint. The main purpose was to rely on the special fragrance of these high-quality rouges to attract these rare butterflies on Penglai Mountain.
People are like this. When they see others doing it and succeeding, they act like they are in a panic. So when they see the butterflies rising and falling on the picture of the beauty, in addition to being surprised, they also show their ingenuity. Ingenious idea. Meng Xinghe, who used rouge to paint beauties, admired it endlessly.
Meng Xinghe acted relatively calmly. He looked at the butterflies on the two paintings and said calmly: "You two ladies, the rouge of that house is a little better. You should know better than me."
I didn’t kill anyone with one shot. I just said that the rouge of that company was inferior. The butterflies in the two pictures of beauties were almost the same. It was only after a closer look that I could see that the beauty picture painted with Baijia rouge had more butterflies. A little bit. So I rely on butterflies to love beauty. It is also a spiritual butterfly like Penglai Fairy Mountain. Its spirituality is enough to illustrate a point. The rouges of the Chai and Bai families are the best. But after all, the purple pink of the Bai family in Dongdu is better. .
Using a method that few people thought of, Meng Xinghe got lucky. For Chai and the Bai family, they solved a problem that had been debated for hundreds of years. Of course, this time as the representative of the Chai family, he was also the Chai family. After seeing this result, Ms. Chai Xijia, the future heir of the company, was impressed by Meng Xinghe, a turtle-foot painter who could do everything. He could often do the most unimaginable things that ordinary people could not imagine. The only thing Ms. Chai could do was Keep your promise unwillingly.
Miss Chai glanced at the flying butterflies and said calmly: "It can attract the rare Penglai fairy butterfly in the world. Our Chai family is not unjustly defeated. As agreed before, our Chai family firm is willing to let Mr. Meng Be the president. Not only that. I heard that Mr. Meng is also the owner of the Laundering Trading Company. Our Chai family is willing to dedicate another shop in the golden shop section of Dongdu as a witness for our Chai family trading company to join the Yanshui Alliance."
Miss Bai is not a fool. She knows best that the Chai family is not the one who suffers. Otherwise, the current head of the Chai family, Mrs. Chai, would not take advantage of the Yanshui Conference to control the four major business houses. Although this Miss Chai looks gentle and weak, she is really weak in her heart. The blood is the blood of the Chai family. Naturally, she is born with the ability to do business. Otherwise, she will not show off a general's move when she admits defeat. The purpose is not to show it to others, but to prevent the Bai family from winning. benefits.
Both women are good prospects for business. They cannot be deceived by their appearance. Miss Bai smiled lightly and said: "Although Yan Zhi from Bai Family Trading Company can win, he is also a trustworthy person. Let Mr. Meng be the Rouge Alliance member." The president also dedicated a shop in the best prime location in Dongdu as a testimony of joining the Rouge Alliance.")
Getting two of the best shops at once could make Meng Xinghe look up to the sky and smile in the jealous eyes of others. But Meng Xinghe was not at all proud. God knows what those two shops were like. Subsequent facts proved that his Don't worry too much about flying out of nowhere.
Two of the four major trading houses are content to be in the second tier. The Xiao family and the Cao family, who have been silent, have not expressed their stance. However, many old and cunning businessmen have noticed that Meng Xinghe and the lady from the Xiao family business are flirting with each other. The relationship is unusual. This means that the position of president, which symbolizes huge profits, will most likely fall into the hands of this man in Tsing Yi. So everyone is starting to make a move. They want to take over this young cash cow first. You know, the Cao family who has been silent all this time spoke. .
Na Hu had a very arrogant and pleasant voice, but it seemed to be directed at a specific person. She said: "Some people don't think they can attract butterflies. They think they can control the wind and rain. Therefore, my Cao family will not agree. When he becomes the president, he does not dedicate the inheritance that the Cao family has worked hard for generations to feed some white-eyed wolves, so that he will be so happy that he cannot find the north. Therefore, I do not agree with so-and-so being the president. If you have to choose one President. Then I would rather be the sister from the Xiao Family Trading Company next to me."
Although these words were not mentioned by name, everyone knew that they were talking about Meng Xinghe. And there was something in the words. It was very decisive and clear. It was not like coming from the mouth of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman. It was indeed a member of the Cao family. It was direct and decisive. Fighting is the characteristic of the Cao family.
I didn’t realize that the junior sister is still a master of negotiation. Cao Hongdou. Fried red beans. She really lives up to her name. It makes people angry. Meng Xinghe smiled and said: "I think it would be better for the president to let you do it. Then you will be so arrogant. Once you read it, maybe the Cao family's chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven."
Meng Xinghe was originally joking, but Cao Hongdou heard it. It was like treating class hostility. He wished he could slap him to death in front of everyone. Anyway, it would definitely destroy Meng Xinghe and make him unable to become the president. Cao Hongdou suppressed He controlled the anger in his heart and said calmly: "The more you try to anger me, I won't let you succeed. As long as the Cao family does not agree with you becoming the president, you will never become the president."
Meng Xinghe has no intention of becoming the president at all. His first priority is to cause destruction to the greatest extent. He doesn't care about bullshit presidents. Since Cao Hongdou proposed Mengdie to be the president, Meng Xinghe might as well just go along with the situation. Besides, Meng Xinghe Die and he were a couple who slept in the same bed. It didn't matter who became the president. He was still at ease.
He had long been prepared to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy. Meng Xinghe smiled and said: "Miss Cao is right. You Qi let me, a white-eyed wolf, swallow up the four major trading houses. It is better to follow what you said and let Miss Xiao Mengdie take the responsibility." So, I completely and unconditionally agree with your proposal. Hongdou, I just realized now that you are so talented."
Hiss... Meng Xinghe just finished speaking. He felt a numbness in his waist. His grandmother dared to prick me with a needle. I will prick you with a needle at night to see if it hurts. Meng Xinghe glared at Cao fiercely. Hongdou. I really wanted to hold her down and spank her on the spot.
Meng Xinghe made a ninja expression to his junior sister. Meng Xinghe walked to Mengdie and said with a smile: "The four major commercial banks are still short of the Xiao family who has not expressed its position. Why? You still want to give up the position of president to someone else."
Mengdie nodded. The old man next to her who had had a lively chat with Meng Xinghe had already walked in front of everyone.
"He is the father-in-law of the people of Dongdu. Mr. Yu, the governor." The businessmen recognized this old man as the governor of Dongdu. He was the minister of the Hanlin Academy at that time. Later, for unknown reasons, he was demoted to Dongdu and became the governor. But he was demoted. In just over ten years, the minister made the Eastern Capital, which had been trampled by the Eighteen Routes of Rebels, become more and more prosperous, catching up with the imperial capital of Chang'an. Therefore, everyone in Chang'an respected him.
Governor Yu asked someone to bring the fragrant ink he made with rouge from the bench where Meng Xinghe had been painting. With a swipe of his pen, a contract with black and white words on a piece of white paper appeared.
Good calligraphy... Meng Xinghe sighed sincerely. He thought that he had made some small achievements in the art of writing brushes. But when he saw this old man's careless and meticulous handwriting, he could only admire and worship him in his heart.
The old man obviously saw the surprised expression on Meng Xinghe's face. He smiled and said: "Compared with the Young Master's method of attracting peaks and butterflies, the old man's writing is nothing more than a small trick."
I don’t know whether the old man is praising himself or hurting himself. Meng Xinghe laughed and said: "If you don’t show off, your arrogance will shock the world. But you want to impress the world with your coolness. We are all arrogant. There is really no distinction between high and low." Meng Xinghe said shamelessly.
