Zhou Qianhong on the side lowered her head helplessly, but did not intend to stop it.
Maomao kept looking at the corner of paper sticking out from Su Zhaoxin's arms, and then looked at Xia Zhixu with strange eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Zhixu was very ashamed as he looked at Su Zhaoxin as Su Changan became more and more famous.
As a result, the young master of the Su family also gained some fame, especially at the poetry gathering, where some people even said bluntly, "The young master of the Su family is small but has a sharp tongue and deserves a beating."
See you today.
It is true!!
Su Changan laughed enough and said, "My brother is ignorant, please don't blame me, Your Highness."
Xia Zhixu immediately shook his head: "No, no."
At this time, Mr. Fang finally came over and looked at Su Changan, the counselor whom the Eighth Prince had always dreamed of recruiting but had never succeeded. He bowed slightly and said, "Meet Miss Changan."
Su Changan returned the greeting gently.
Mr. Fang stopped talking and just stood aside.
At this time, Xia Zhixu took out the paper that he had carefully put away in his arms and said, "Because I heard that Miss Chang'an's calligraphy and painting were for sale here today, I came to take a look and buy some. I saw the Chixia Army carriage from afar, so I came to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't expect that it was really you, Miss Chang'an. I am really lucky."
"However, Miss Chang'an, please explain to me what this sentence means after the sky. I know that Xu Baisi is puzzled."
Su Zhaoxin stared at the paper and asked, "How much did you buy it for?"
Xia Zhixu replied: "Twenty-four taels."
When Su Changan saw that what Xia Zhixu was holding was the paper on which he had written the three words "Ying Shi Tian" and then wiped his hands and threw it away, he almost choked when he heard that it was bought for twenty-four taels.
And subconsciously looked at the cat.
Although Maomao didn't say anything, the look in his eyes made it seem like he was looking at Xia Zhixu as a 'sucker'.
Su Zhaoxin shook his head, seeming to want to say something but stopped talking. After looking at Su Changan, he immediately stopped talking.
Xia Zhixu looked at Su Changan and spoke again with an urgent look on his face: "Miss Changan, please explain what the words behind this should be heaven."
Su Changan looked at Xia Zhixu who had a sincere expression on his face. If it was someone else, they would just say it, it would be just a line of poetry.
But you are the son of the Eighth Prince, and it just so happens that the Eighth Prince has offended my "wife".
Love the one who loves you and loves everyone in his house; be gentle to those who are far away and yet they are close to you.
If you offend my wife, then goodbye.
I'm so petty!
So he said, "I just wrote it casually. I didn't think about what it was afterwards, so I threw it away at that time. The prince and others thought too much."
After that, Su Changan bowed to Xia Zhixu and said, "I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."
As he spoke, Su Changan walked towards the carriage.
The prince was somewhat unwilling and wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Changan got on the carriage directly without any room for maneuver, he immediately curled his lips and looked at Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang smiled slightly and understood everything.
Su Zhaoxin did not get on the carriage, but pulled the clothes of Xia Zhixu who was stopped by the Chixia Army.
Xia Zhixu turned around.
Su Zhaoxin immediately said: "Do you want to know what happened next?"
Chapter 54 Why Provoke Her?
After hearing this, Xia Zhixu thought about it carefully and asked, "Brother Su, do you know?"
Su Zhaoxin immediately said, "Of course not. I just go to my sister's study when I have nothing to do. How could I not know?"
Xia Zhixu was about to speak with joy, but looking at Su Zhaoxin's expression, he asked, "What are the conditions?"
Su Zhaoxin said, looking at Xia Zhixu, he felt that this man was sensible, so he immediately said: "You paid twenty-four taels for the three characters of my sister, and there are four characters behind it, so you gave me thirty taels, which is not too much, but I think you are quite sensible, how about giving me twenty-five taels."
Listening to Su Zhaoxin's way of calculating the account, Xia Zhixu immediately realized that this bastard was trying to cheat for money. The money was not much, he could afford it casually, but how could he be cheated like this? So he immediately said: "Then please ask Brother Su to keep it for yourself."
Su Zhaoxin said, curling his lips and shaking his head: "Hey, it's such a good business not to do it, it's stupid to die. No wonder you don't have any literary talent and can't even enter the early winter poetry meeting."
As he spoke, Su Zhaoxin walked towards the carriage.
But after taking two steps, Su Zhaoxin turned around and looked at Xia Zhixu: "Twenty taels for you?"
Xia Zhixu shook his head: "No."
Su Zhaoxin immediately said, "If you don't want to buy it, forget it. I don't even want to sell it to you."
After that, Su Zhaoxin said, "Well, did you see that over there? Next time you want to talk to my sister, go buy those hundreds or thousands of taels of paper. I find it ugly to bring over twenty taels of waste paper."
Just as Su Zhaoxin finished speaking, Su Changan's voice came from the carriage: "Zhaoxin, let's go."
Hearing Su Changan's voice, Su Zhaoxin immediately said "Here I come!"
Then he immediately got into the carriage.
Watching the carriage leave
Xia Zhixu lowered his head to look at the paper with the three words "Ying Shi Tian" written on it, then turned back to look at his own carriage not far away, where the servants of the palace were loading the other writing materials of Su Changan that they had just bought into the carriage, and sighed helplessly.
In fact, all of Su Changan’s writings and calligraphy from today to now have been bought by him.
But only.
This "should be heaven" is what worries him the most.
No reason, just curiosity.
Unstoppable curiosity!
"Mr. Fang, this is my father's fault." Xia Zhixu sighed.
Mr. Fang heard this and smiled slightly, "The prince is smart."
Xia Zhixu was helpless: "We are all family. What did my father do wrong? This makes it impossible for me to even ask a poem. I probably can't sleep today. You have to play chess with me."
Mr. Fang nodded: "I was originally the chess partner of the prince. Whenever the prince wants to play chess, he can come to me."
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu lowered his head and looked at the three words "Yingshitian" again: "Tell me, what on earth is this? The way he looked just now clearly showed that he knew but was unwilling to tell me. I'm curious..."
Then, he turned his head and looked at Mr. Fang: "And I think this poem is probably not simple. It may be a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages."
Mr. Fang nodded: "Everything made by Miss Chang'an is extraordinary."
The prince looked at the carriage going away and said with emotion: "But, she is really pretty. Father is so disappointing. Why didn't he find this girl earlier? It would have been great if he had told me about her earlier. She is much prettier than Li Xingyue."
Mr. Fang smiled and looked at the carriage. He felt that the situation in the capital, which was originally very clear, seemed a little confused because of the sudden appearance of Miss Chang'an.
The prince shook his head and put away the paper in his hand. "Let's go, let's go back. I guess my father is going to smash things and be angry again. If he leaves, all these will be mine. He doesn't know how to save money for me. But... help me think of a way? Think about how to ease the relationship with my future sister-in-law. You can't dislike me because of my father."
Mr. Fang smiled bitterly and said, "It won't be relieved."
The prince looked at Mr. Fang and said, "Not really."
Mr. Fang looked at the prince, just smiled and said nothing more.
To avenge the destruction of the entire village.
The revenge of killing the whole family.
How to ease.
But it’s not the prince’s fault, after all, he doesn’t know about this.
After all, it is a serious crime of treason for one's own selfish interests, and few people know about it.
but
Looking at Xia Zhixu, he still looked sad.
Mr. Fang smiled, but if this person knew about it, he probably wouldn't take it seriously.
Son of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Even though he is introverted and smiles all day long, anyone with a discerning eye can tell how many knives are hidden in that smile.
Thinking of this, Mr. Fang glanced at the Chengtian Gate in the distance where the imperial road led directly, and then looked at the picture where Xia Zhixu was reflected in the same picture as Chengtian Gate.
How to see!
He felt that the palace was incompatible with this father and son.
……
On the carriage.
Su Zhaoxin sighed and muttered to himself, "Why didn't I fall for it?" As he spoke, he would steal a glance at Su Changan from time to time.
Su Changan couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "Tell me about the horse you want to buy, but let me make it clear in advance that if you want to buy it to participate in horse racing gambling, then forget it."
Hearing this, Su Zhaoxin became excited and immediately shook his head: "No, no, I never touch that stuff. I go to watch horse racing just for fun. Just watching them run makes me feel great!"
As he spoke, Su Zhaoxin approached Su Changan and said with a smile, "The horse I want to buy is amazing. It won several first places when it first came out! But suddenly its leg was broken. After it was finally healed, it won several first places in competitions, but then its leg was broken again."
"It went back and forth several times. It was so heartbreaking to watch. Then last month, that horse was really good. It won first place again among many good horses. At that time, everyone thought it was just participating, after all, its legs had been broken several times, but it still won first place! But its luck was a bit bad. It broke its leg again. It is said that it will not heal this time."
"Big sister, you don't know, the people at that racecourse are really evil. These racehorses are pitiful. If they meet a good owner, they can keep them forever. If they meet a bad one, they can't run away and they will either be sold or slaughtered. I'm thinking of buying this horse and keeping it well, but it's a little expensive. I've collected some of my New Year's money and asked Wan'er for some, but it's still not enough. Alas."
At the end of the speech, the little Su Zhaoxin's eyes were filled with regret and emotion.
You can tell he really likes that horse.
but
This story.
Su Changan felt a little familiar.
Very similar to the story of a horse in my previous life!!
But looking at Su Zhaoxin, Su Changan said, "When you go back, copy the books. Just copy the three books, "Lecture on Learning", "Being Learned" and "On Scriptures". When you finish copying, I will buy it for you."
Hearing this, Su Zhaoxin became even more excited, but when he thought about how thick these three books were, Su Zhaoxin hesitated again.
