Chapter 38 The first confrontation between two rivals
In the restaurant, there seemed to be an invisible smell of gunpowder smoke.
Su Ping'an stared at Pei Ziyi for a moment, the fighting spirit gradually rising in his eyes, and then he answered very naturally: "Oh, it's okay, my eldest lady has already thanked me, and the eldest lady treats me very well.
Well, not only does she personally take care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation, but she also takes care of my writing and calligraphy... Well, to be honest, sometimes it’s a bit annoying. If I hadn’t seen her as one of my own, I would have given up my choice and left..."
Su Pingan said this casually and straightforwardly, but why did it sound inexplicably showing off?
Especially his titles, ‘my eldest lady’, and ‘one of my own’… every word of these sounds very thought-provoking.
Mo Ziyan and Duan Wenqi's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this, and then they all focused on Liu Qingxi. Their eyes were full of gossip, and they seemed to be asking: What is the relationship between you two?
?
Liu Qingxi's face suddenly turned red. She immediately looked at Su Ping'an with some embarrassment and said anxiously: "You... what are you talking about? Who is 'your family', and who is 'your own'..."
…”
As Liu Qingxi spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she was so ashamed that she could hardly lift her head.
Hearing this, Su Ping'an slapped his forehead, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, yes... I just said it wrong. The eldest lady is not from 'my family'. I should say that I am from the 'eldest lady's' family."
"..."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Damn, saying this is the same as not saying it.
"You..." Liu Qingxi stomped her feet in shame.
Su Ping'an pretended to be confused and said with a smile: "What I said is right, I am the literary cultivator of Qingfeng Restaurant, I am from your family..."
Seeing that it was unclear what to do with this guy for a while, Liu Qingxi finally flicked his sleeves, then panicked and pulled his two fellow disciples, and ran into the backyard as if they were running away. Along the way, Duan Wenqi could not help but laugh.
Teasing laughter.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Pei Ziyi's face slowly became stiff.
Did this guy just flirt with me in front of me?!
So damn shameless!
At the same time, it also made him feel that Su Pingan was a powerful opponent.
After Liu Qingxi and the others left, and there was no one else around, Pei Ziyi suddenly became much more direct. He sneered first, and then said bluntly: "No matter what your purpose is in staying at Qingfeng Restaurant, but
I advise you to stay away from Junior Sister Qingxi. She is kind and simple, and can be deceived easily, but I am different. If you have any intentions, you can’t hide it from me!"
Su Ping'an chuckled softly after hearing this, as if he didn't take Pei Ziyi seriously at all. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he replied: "What purpose can I have? I'm just a calligraphy and literature repairman who cooperates with Qingfeng Restaurant. I'm going to hang myself."
Brother, everyone has obviously seen what your purpose is. But as you said, the eldest lady is kind and simple, and can easily be deceived. As her collaborator, in order to protect my own interests, I can't help but
I still need to help her save a little more. As for choosing an 'uncle', this is even more important..."
After hearing these words, Pei Ziyi's face became even more ugly, and the coldness in his eyes almost condensed into water drops.
However, he was quite deep in the city, and the gloom in his eyes was quickly hidden by him, and then he pretended not to care and asked: "Oh, since you just said that you are a cooperative literary cultivator of the restaurant, then I would like to hear what you have said.
Is there any famous work written by me? I just have a lot of free time recently, so I might as well read it."
This is about exploring the depths?!
Su Ping'an curled up his lips, and then replied nonchalantly with a casual attitude: "I don't dare to call it a masterpiece. It's just a book that created a new genre of 'martial arts' and caused a wave of trends; a book won the Qingyun Literature Prize."
It’s just a matter of being crowned the leader and causing a sensation in the whole city. These are trivial matters, not worth mentioning..."
"..." The corner of Pei Ziyi's mouth twitched. It's not worth mentioning that you still spoke in such detail. Are you probably not showing off on purpose?!
However, he quickly controlled his expression and replied calmly: "Really? The results are indeed pretty good. But this is just a small Qingyun County. No matter how good the book is, its level will probably be limited. If it is placed in a big name
For a big city like Fuzhou, I’m afraid it’s really not worth mentioning…”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the four people who were traveling with him from the Wen Palace of Daming Prefecture, and the other fat man Bai Hao who had been crowding in front of the Wen List happened to come back at this time.
The fat man seemed to be very excited at this moment. He was holding a thick stack of manuscripts in one hand and a palm-sized drawing paper in the other. Before he even got close, he shouted to Pei Ziyi: "Zi Ziyi"
Brother Yi, brother Yi... Look, I really found two good books in Senior Sister Qingxi's restaurant.
One book is a new genre of martial arts stories, called "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", the story is old-fashioned, novel and interesting; the other is "Liao Zhai", the name is "Liao Zhai: A Chinese Ghost Story", this story is more interesting
Well, it seems that she just won the first prize from the Qingyun County Literary Society. Especially the female ghost 'Xiaoqian' in the book is simply rare in the world.
What's even more unexpected is that these two books are actually written by the same guy named "Susheng Xiaomeng". This guy is so talented. If I see him, I must get to know him well...
…”
Listening to the words that kept coming out of Bai Hao's mouth, the corners of Pei Ziyi's mouth immediately twitched. If Bai Hao hadn't been one of his own, he would have doubted whether this guy was sent by the other party.
He had just finished mocking Su Pingan, saying that his two books would not be worth mentioning if they were placed in Daming Mansion, but unexpectedly he turned around and was slapped in the face by Bai Hao.
Pei Ziyi also wanted to save some face, so she suppressed an ugly dry cough and said: "Ahem... Junior Brother Bai Hao, you haven't read for a long time, so no matter what ordinary works you see, you will find them good-looking. In fact, that
The actual level of the book should not be very good either.”
Bai Hao didn't see Pei Ziyi's expression, as if he was still immersed in the story book. He shook his head and defended: "Otherwise, although I am not good at writing stories, I still have a good eye for reading. I think these two books are indeed good."
It is a rare masterpiece. If it were placed in our Daming Palace Wen Palace, few people could match it.
What's even more special is that I also discovered that the author of these two books, "Su Sheng Xiao Meng", is actually a literary scholar who is good at calligraphy, piano, and painting. You see, this picture depicts the story of "Liao Zhai"
There is a character in the book whose style of painting is truly unique and wonderful. The expression and appearance of the character are so lifelike that even the eyelashes can be seen.
I'm afraid even my sister would be willing to be inferior to her if she saw this level.
And I heard that this ‘Su Sheng Xiao Meng’ also composed a theme song for ‘Xiao Qian’, which is said to be very novel and beautiful. If I…”
Seeing that this guy was getting better and better, Pei Ziyi's face turned completely dark.
