* Bang! *
Qian Duoduo kicked the man into the alley. He curled his lips and said, "Do you really think that the two kilograms of meat on my body are just for show? If you want to fight with me, go back and eat for a few more years!"
He clapped his hands and turned around to look at the bustling street. A vexed expression appeared on his face as he murmured, "Brother, where the hell are you …"
* Bang! *
In a certain room in the attic, a woman named Hu Yingying fiercely threw her pipa to the ground. Her face was filled with anger as she coldly said, "Surnamed Qian, you've gone too far!"
"Okay, okay, you still have the face to talk about others?"
The madam stood behind her and glanced at her. She said, "How many times do I have to tell you not to be too unsightly when you eat? You don't even try to win over your sugar daddy. Instead, you flirt with those poor scholars all day. How do you think you so-called famous courtesans came to be? It's all because of money. This time, I'll teach you a lesson. All of you, be more careful!"
Hu Yingying said with a straight face, "But …"
"No buts." The madam waved her hand and said, "Find time to properly apologize to Young Master Qian. Let me tell you, if you have the surname Qian in the future, you'll enjoy endless glory and wealth. The money that Old Master Qian spills out from between his fingers is enough to buy this entire building. I might even have to listen to your face. Tell me, what's so good about those poor scholars? If you follow them, you deserve to suffer for the rest of your life!"
Hu Yingying gritted her teeth and didn't say anything else.
The madam glanced at her and walked out of the room. When she reached the door, she turned around and said, "Don't tell me that you're still thinking about that person. Let me give you a piece of advice. Give up. You're just a prostitute, you can't reach his level …"
Hu Yingying raised her head and gritted her teeth. She said, "Yingying understands …"
…
…
"Afraid that we'll meet again in a dream … Xiuwen, do you think this poem was really written by that Young Master Qian?" In a luxurious mansion in Feng State City, a white-clothed youth recited a few lines and raised his head to look at the young man in front of him.
"Regardless of whether he is or not, I have to meet this Young Master Qian." Zhao Xiuwen, who had been writing, put down his brush and looked at the 'Partridge Sky' that he had re-copied onto the paper. He said, "It's not important whether he bought this poem or not. What's important is where he bought it from. I'm more interested in someone who can write such a poem. Don't you find it strange, Yanzhou? "
"Becoming famous overnight is a little strange." Yang Yanzhou nodded and said, "The style of the poem is unique. It's unlike anyone I know. Although the theme is nothing more than sadness and resentment, feelings and nostalgia … it's tactful and delicate. It's also romantic and charming. It's fresh and handsome. I really can't think of anyone else in Feng Province or even the Qi Kingdom who has such a standard."
He looked at Zhao Xiuwen and said, "If you didn't deny it just now, I really would have thought that this was one of your hobbies."
"I don't have the leisure to do that." Zhao Xiuwen said with a smile, "However, that Young Master Qian is the son of the God of Wealth. It doesn't seem to be easy …"
"The God of Wealth will probably give you face." Yang Yanzhou shook his head and then looked at him again. He said, "I heard from the Third Prince that that person seems to have come to the Qi Kingdom. Do you know?"
"Who?" Zhao Xiuwen raised his head and asked in confusion.
"Li Yi," Yang Yanzhou said, looking at him.
Zhao Xiuwen was stunned and slowly stood up from the chair.
…
…
"Are you sure you've found out everything?" On a street somewhere in Feng Province, the young man stopped and looked at a shop in front of him and asked again.
The servant behind him immediately replied, "Young Master, I've found out everything. The scholar came back from the Jing Kingdom with Miss Lin. It seems that they were in trouble. They have an injured wife with them. They live in the courtyard next to Fanglin Garden."
The young man nodded and said, "Let's go."
Li Yi walked out of the courtyard and saw Lin Yong at the gate of Fanglin Garden. He said casually, "Brother Lin, have you eaten? Do you want to come in and eat?"
"Growl …"
Hearing the word "eat", Lin Yong's stomach growled. He looked up at Li Yi and shook his head. He said righteously, "No need, no need. I've eaten outside just now. Thank you for your kindness, Li Brothers!"
Miss.Liu suffered another blow. She probably wouldn't cook for a while. However, it seemed that she had left a big shadow in Lin Yong's heart. He had obviously only tasted one bite yesterday and regarded that courtyard as a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Back then, he had eaten all the food she made.
In the end, he still went back and brought Lin Yong a serving of rice. After tasting it, the mountain-like man was moved to tears. Just as Li Yi was about to go back, he heard noises coming from the shop.
Inside Fanglin Garden, the man surnamed Bai looked at Lin Wanru and said with a bitter smile, "Wanru, think about it again. 10,000 taels of silver is not a low price. My father likes Liuli the most. I really can't think of a good gift to give him for his birthday."
Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. The Flying Swallow Horse is the treasure of Fanglin Garden. It's not for sale."
"I know it's a bit difficult." The man surnamed Bai looked troubled and said, "But I also want my father to be happy. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't ask."
"I'm really sorry. I can't make the decision alone." Lin Wanru still shook her head.
Not long after, the man surnamed Bai walked out of the shop. After glancing at Li Yi, he shook his head and turned to leave.
Li Yi thought about it and walked into the shop. He saw Lin Wanru standing in front of the Liuli ware. He walked over and looked at her. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Miss Lin, if you can sell this Liuli ware, it's better to sell it as soon as possible."
"Why?"
Lin Wanru looked at him and asked with a frown.
Li Yi pointed at the Liuli ware and said, "There are some foreign merchants who claim to be from Great Britain. They traveled over land and water to bring a large amount of Liuli ware here. This thing will soon be worthless. So, it's better to sell it as soon as possible."
"How do you know?" Lin Wanru looked at him and asked.
"It's a coincidence. I saw them in the Jing Kingdom before. It won't be long before they reach the Qi Kingdom."
Li Yi could only say so much. Any more would involve business secrets. It was not easy for the British merchants. They traveled thousands of miles, traveled over land and water, and lost a lot of people. It was not easy for them to come here. He had to give them a way out.
Watching him leave, Lin Wanru's face showed a thoughtful expression. When she looked at the Flying Swallow again, her eyes changed a little.
"Great Britain? A foreign merchant? " Lin Wanru's face showed a thoughtful expression. "I've never heard of this foreign country. Is it rich in Liuli ware?"
…
Chong Zhou and Feng Zhou were neighbors. If one rode a fast horse, it would take a day's journey from Feng Zhou to the border of the Qi Kingdom. After crossing the river from Chong Zhou, one would reach the territory of the Jing Kingdom.
In a shop in Feng Zhou City, the shop assistant scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Where did you say you came from? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
At this time, there were a few men in ragged clothes with unkempt hair and dirty faces. The man in the front looked at him and said arrogantly, "Listen carefully. We come from the great United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. We have a big business with you. Hurry up and ask your shopkeeper to come out!"
"What are you doing?" The shop assistant looked at them with disdain. He waved his hand and said impatiently, "A bunch of stinky beggars. You want to ask our shopkeeper to come out? Hurry up and get lost. If you don't, I'll let the dogs bite you!"
The man in the front turned around and gave another man a look. The man immediately opened a big box on the ground. In an instant, the whole shop was lit up.
The shop assistant looked at the box with his mouth wide open. He was stunned. After a while, he shouted and ran to the back.
"Shopkeeper, come out quickly …"
