Mu Qinxue hesitated for a moment and sighed: "What if he is very talented?"

"How can such a waste be talented? Qin Xue, who did you listen to?" Nangong Ning couldn't help but sneer.

Considering Duan Yunxiu's sensitive identity, Mu Qinxue could only answer vaguely: "I heard it from a friend of mine. I trust her judgment."

Nangong Ning frowned and reminded: "This is obviously trying to harm you. You should stay away from this kind of friend in the future."

Mu Qinxue said: "Her virtues and skills are far above you and me, and she has absolutely no reason to harm me. You can't judge others by yourself."

Nangong Ning ridiculed: "Qin Xue, you have repeatedly matched Liang Xiao and me. Could it be that you have fallen in love with my Yun Qing? Yun Qing is mine, and his elder brother Yuncheng is a better match for you. From now on, we sisters will marry together." The Duanmu family, isn’t it just about getting closer and closer?”

Mu Qinxue was stunned, suppressed the fire of ignorance rising in her heart, looked at Nangong Ning with a smile, and said, "Sorry, I only follow my grandfather's arrangements."

Nangong Ning's tone gradually became harsh and mean: "Then I believe that Liang Xiao is talented. No matter how talented he is, can he beat the Duanmu family's 'Double Dragon'? Qin Xue, I still say the same thing, Liang Xiao and I There is no possibility, whoever wants to marry him can do it! If you like Liang Xiao, go ahead and marry him..."

Mu Qinxue looked at Nangong Ning with a disappointed look on her face and nodded: "I understand."

The two broke up unhappy.

After seeing Nangong Ning away, Mu Qinxue returned to her room and closed the door tightly.

After a long time, Mu Qinxue's wild laughter sounded in the room.

"You said that yourself!"

Liang Xiao bought a few kilograms of fine meat and fresh fish on the way home, and gave it to his grandma to prepare a sumptuous table of dishes.

When the master and servant learned that Liang Xiao had earned five hundred taels of silver from Lin Duan, they were also sincerely happy.

At night, after Jiang Fuxue went to bed, grandma said to Liang Xiao: "I'm brave, I have something to say to the young master."

Liang Xiao looked at the slightly stooped grandma, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you just tell me."

Grandma said weakly: "Ever since the young master took the young lady and the old slave in, no matter how down-to-earth the young master is, he has never been vague about the family's life and diet, and always allows the old slave and the young lady to eat meat. We have always been very grateful to the young master. But now The old slave and the young lady still hope that the young master can save money and prepare for a comeback in the future. After all, the young lady has always believed that the young master will be the best among men in the future."

Liang Xiao was stunned.

Jiang Fuxue and Grandma often told him similar words before.

"Grandma, you came back very late last night. Did you go to a wealthy family to do some chores to supplement the family income?"

Grandma was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I left it all to the young lady for personal use. The young lady hopes to help the young master in emergencies when he is short of money."

Liang Xiao felt warm in his heart and said: "From today on, you will stay at home. Don't go to other people's houses to do odd jobs. You must also watch over Xue'er and don't let her go too."

Grandma lowered her head in shame: "It's the old slave who has embarrassed the young master."

Liang Xiao explained: "That's not true. I just don't want you to work so hard anymore. Just take good care of this family and Xue'er from now on. I have already found a way to make money, and I will definitely let you live a rich life. Don’t worry about me anymore.”

Grandma was doubtful, but agreed anyway.

Liang Xiao returned to the room, looked at the several sugar canes he bought in the afternoon on the table, smiled, and immediately started drawing.

In the imperial palace, in the royal study.

Empress Duan Yunyi looked at the song "Who Awakens First from the Big Dream" on the table with disbelief on her face.

"Did Liang Xiao really write this word?"

Duan Yunxiu said proudly: "It's absolutely true! If sister doesn't believe it, ask Granny Feiyun!"

Feiyun, the follower who had been standing by silently, was the deputy commander of the female soldiers responsible for protecting Duan Yunxiu and a master of Ouchi.

"Your Majesty, including the "Autumn Poems", it is indeed written by Mr. Liang!"

Duan Yunyi felt even more incredible when he heard that Feiyun even changed his name to Liang Xiao.

"Sister, just tell me whether the five hundred taels I spent are worth it~" Duan Yunxiu proudly held Duan Yunyi's arm and started acting coquettishly.

Duan Yunyi finally couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle: "Even if it costs five thousand taels, it's still worth it."

"Really?" Duan Yunyi was shocked.

The reason why she was willing to spend five hundred taels was not only to support Liang Xiao, but also because Liang Xiao cared about his country and the people, and should be a good official in the future, at least unlikely to commit adultery, thus protecting these poems. the value of.

But she had fully calculated at that time that the "Autumn Poems", as the only "authentic work", would not be worth more than 500 taels. Even if she later discovered Liang Xiao's calligraphy skills, its value would not be more than 1,000 taels.

In addition to the unique font of "Who Awakens the Big Dream", the total value will not exceed three thousand taels.

Her imperial sister had always had a unique vision, but this one piece was actually valued at five thousand taels!

Duan Yunyi said: "You don't believe it? My sister called Lin Duan."

The ceremonial supervisor, Bingbi, and the eunuch Lin Duan!

The real Lin Duan was summoned to the imperial study. When Duan Yunyi saw the real master, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He smiled and said: "Xiao Linzi, the emperor recently got a new calligraphy treasure, let you come and taste it."

Lin Duan took the order and stepped forward. When he saw the font, he was amazed: "Your Majesty, I have never seen this kind of font..."

"What do you think, Eunuch Lin?" Duan Yunyi asked.

Lin Duan finally couldn't hold it back anymore and exclaimed: "In my humble opinion, the brushwork is vigorous and the intention is perfect. It has to be traced! I will definitely become a school of my own in the future! This poem is also a good poem!"

Duan Yunxiu said proudly: "How does Mr. Lin think it should be valued?"

Lin Duan replied: "The value of calligraphy and painting, in addition to its own level, also depends on the owner."

"If the owner is unknown, how much is it worth?"

"Your Majesty, two thousand taels of silver must be collected by a rich man! After a hundred years from this person, five thousand taels of silver will have a price but no market!"

Duan Yunxiu was surprised and delighted: "As expected of the imperial sister, she is so accurate! Xiao Linzi, if the master becomes famous all over the world in the future and becomes a leader in the literary world, how much will it be worth?"

Lin Duan said sternly: "Back to your highness, this person had such a masterpiece before he became famous. He will definitely make a sensation in the literary world. He will be worth tens of thousands of dollars, and he will definitely have fans!"

Duan Yunxiu asked further: "If this person is able to stabilize the country and become a very popular minister, while he is still alive, his literary achievements and political achievements are enough to write a biography in the annals of our dynasty. How much is it worth?"

Lin Duan said excitedly: "I spent thousands of gold to acquire it, and I only made a profit without losing any money!"

A thousand taels of gold!

That's equivalent to at least one hundred thousand taels of silver!

Duan Yunxiu raised his eyebrows and asked: "Ten thousand taels of gold? How much will this person's value increase after a hundred years?"

Duan Yunyi remained silent and stared at his sister.

She had already heard from this girl's words that she was very optimistic about Liang Xiao.

Lin Duan's hands began to tremble, and he stayed away from the calligraphy and painting. He knelt down on the spot, his voice trembling.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness! If this is the case, money will no longer be able to measure this person's value after a hundred years. This kind of authentic work should be kept in the royal collection and should never be lost among the people!!"

It was surprisingly quiet in the imperial study room.
