Yan Qi quickly shook his head: "This can't be done. I said I would give it to Mr. Di, so it is impossible to accept the money. Mr. Di, please don't refuse."
Master Di felt particularly warm in his heart.
Although Yan Qi is just a young servant, he is really good at getting things done.
And, to be honest, he hadn't spent money on anything in a long time.
He is the boss of the Water Transport Department, and there are a lot of people coming to visit him. He has everything he wants at home, and he still has to spend money to buy things?
Lord Di was about to accept the picture of Birds Facing the Phoenix...
An Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Master Di, you are also a scholar, don't you know that you can't win someone's love? I have already booked the picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, and now Master Di is trying to steal love, how can this little girl deal with it? "
"this……"
Lord Di hesitated.
An Qing is the most talented girl in Miaoyu Study, she has a good reputation, and she is from the capital. She doesn't know what her family background is, so she can't offend him rashly.
Mr. Di can't be violent, so he can only be reasonable.
"Miss An Qing, this painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is also my favorite thing. If you take it away from me, isn't it a ruthless attempt to steal love?"
An Qing pretended to be thoughtful and nodded: "What Mr. Di said is absolutely true. Alas, this is difficult. Mr. Di is well-read in poetry and books, and he is much older than me. I should respect Mr. Di as an elder. I should not talk to him. Mr. Di is fighting for the picture of Birds Facing the Phoenix, but..."
When Mr. Di heard that there was a way out, he took advantage of every opportunity: "But what?"
An Qing said: "But I have paid all the money."
Master Di blurted out: "What's the problem? I'll just give you money."
Yan Qi quickly said: "That's not possible, Mr. Di. I told you that this picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is for you. If you spend money to buy it, wouldn't I be very ashamed?"
Mr. Di waved his hands indifferently: "I am very happy that you gave me the picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix. It shows that Mr. Yan is very sensible and kind. Now that Miss An Qing has spent money, I should return the money to Miss An Qing. This is the same as It has nothing to do with Mr. Yan, so don’t mind."
Master Di asked An Qing again: "How much money did you spend, I will give it to you."
An Qing smiled: "Master Di, you are indeed a scholar. You are fair, approachable and have no airs. You have set a good example for our younger generations."
Master Di was extremely happy when he was praised by An Qing in public. This was a great help to his official reputation.
Especially since An Tian is present and seeing it, he must have a higher opinion of him.
Master Di smiled brightly: "I am like this as a person, and this is also the case as an official. I must act with a fair and just heart, and never use power to pressure others. Well... Miss An Qing, how much will it cost, I will give it to you."
An Qing said: "Not much, not much, it only cost ten thousand taels."
"What? Ten thousand...two?"
Mr. Di was taking out his money bag, but was shocked by the price. His face turned pale and he hesitated: "This price..."
An Qing blurted out: "Master Di, do you think it's cheap?"
"ah?"
Master Di's eyes twitched: Ten thousand taels? Too cheap.
An Qing said with a smile: "Actually, the picture of Hundreds of Birds Facing the Phoenix only costs 10,000 taels of silver. It is half sold and half given away. I really don't want to give it up. You know, Miss Lin Ruoxian just bought an embroidered handkerchief for 5,000 taels of silver." .”
"This painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is the best among the best. It can be called a priceless treasure. Mr. Yan is willing to sell it to me for ten thousand taels of silver, which also gives me great face. I am a sincere woman. You can’t raise the price for Master Di, right?”
"Speaking of it, I still feel reluctant to part with it. This painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is a masterpiece. The more famous Shuang'er is, the more valuable the embroidery is. Over the past few years, the number of embroideries has increased. This painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix says Maybe it’s worth a hundred thousand taels. After thinking about it, I seem to be at a huge loss. Mr. Di, why don’t you stop fighting with me and just let me buy it?”
Mr. Di quickly hid the picture of birds facing the phoenix in his arms, and said angrily like a child: "Miss An Qing, we are all scholars. We must practice what we say, how can we regret it? Here you go, this is a Take the ten thousand taels of silver note. You don’t have to worry about this picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix."
Mr. Di was originally reluctant to spend ten thousand taels of silver to buy the picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix. He felt that he had been cheated.
But after thinking along An Qing's train of thought, it suddenly dawned on her.
As Xu Shuang'er became famous, his worth increased. This painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix is now worth ten thousand taels. In a few years, it might be worth one hundred thousand taels.
Thinking about it carefully, I made a huge profit and it was a worthwhile transaction.
An Qing took the banknote, shook her head regretfully, looked very unwilling, and said with a wry smile: "Master Di, you really have a pair of discerning eyes. I really can't bear to part with this pair of embroidery. Master Di, your evaluation is so outstanding. In the future, I will definitely invite Lord Di to visit Miaoyu Study Room and teach the students the art of criticism. I hope Lord Di will never refuse."
Master Di was so excited that he said, "Definitely, definitely." There are many talented people gathered in Miaoyu Study Hall, and it would be an absolute honor to be able to give lectures to these talented people. Only a fool would not go there.
Yan Qi knocked the gong and said loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Di for receiving a picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, worth ten thousand taels."
Hu Zi was overjoyed and quickly sent a message: "Congratulations to Mr. Di for receiving a picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, worth ten thousand taels..."
"Congratulations to Mr. Di for receiving a picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, worth ten thousand taels."
The brothers of the Huaxing Club beat gongs and drums, fired firecrackers, and spread the word word of mouth.
In an instant, everyone onlookers heard clearly.
"Look, Xu Shuang'er is really amazing. Not only was he praised by Master Di, but he was also given a pair of embroidery pieces, priced at ten thousand taels. How can this be considered a gift? It's obviously a high price."
"This shows that Xu Shuang'er's reputation is truly worthy of his reputation. He is a true gold who is not afraid of fire."
"In comparison, Baili Embroidery Workshop is much worse. Not to mention the high price of 10,000 taels, and the pot has not even been opened yet. If you ask me, Xu Shuang'er is the number one embroidery worker in Jinling. He Baili has to choose Xian."
…
Everyone was talking a lot and praising Shuang'er, making him more and more popular.
He Baili heard it clearly and was envious and jealous.
Her face was livid, and she said bitterly: "Okay, Xu Shuang'er, how dare you compete with me? It's so ridiculous that you are so humble."
She turned back to her apprentice and said, "Go to the warehouse and get the "Beautiful Pictures of Jinling". Be careful. If you mess with it, I will kill you."
"Yes, yes!" Several apprentices hurried down.
Master Di was very happy to have harvested the treasure.
The adults who came with him were also a little itchy. After all, ten thousand taels of silver was not a big sum for them.
Yan Qi was good at tempting: "My lords, you came to support me. I'm very happy. I can't let these lords go back empty-handed! I don't think it's better to let Lord Di take care of you and choose a few pairs of embroidery for you." , it’s a gift for all the adults, it’s free of charge, how about it?”
Several adults were very happy when they heard this: "Mr. Yan, then we will not refuse. You are really sensible. Given time, the future is limitless. However, we are officials, especially in front of An Tongpan, and we must pay more attention to integrity. You can’t ask for embroidery for free, you must be given money.”
Yan Qi pretended to be deep in thought: "Well, it can't be because I have affected the reputation of a few adults. Those adults can just be a little more considerate. Don't give too much. I will be anxious if you give too much!"
