Not greedy for money?
Looking at Qi Yu, who looked upright and regarded money as dirt, Li Liangji showed a hint of admiration.
At the same time, some hearings came to mind.
There are rumors that this man is very ambitious. During disaster relief, he donated paintings for free but took no money. It seems that he really has some feelings for his family and country.
Li Liangji looked at this well-informed poor man in front of him and felt good about him.
"Young Master Qi is upright and upright, and he takes things in a measured manner. Not bad, not bad!"
"Well……"
Qi Yu's mouth twitched. Doesn't he need money to be dignified?
I just forgot...
Li Liangji laughed: "I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money with me. I really don't have this for you..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Yu felt bored.
Just when I was feeling disappointed, I saw him suddenly throw a small cloth bag over and said: "These few gadgets can be regarded as my thoughts."
What gadget, are you trying to kill me?
However, when he pulled open a corner of the bag, a ray of golden light suddenly came out.
Is this gold?
Looking at the shape again, it seems a little weird.
If the guess is correct, this should be the legendary golden leaf. Judging by visual inspection, there are about ten pieces.
The gold leaf is not in the shape of a leaf, but more like a rectangular structure, the size of a wine cup, with some patterns and text dotted on both sides.
this……
After the surprise, I was shocked. Who is this person? He turned out to be gold when he made a move - gold!
Receive it?
Li Liangji saw that his expression was as cloudy as the weather in June, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Master Qi disdains these things?"
"Scrap, very scrappy! Oh no, actually, I don't paint all for money, but occasionally collecting some polishes is also a kind of fun."
He was only halfway through speaking, but his body had already put the bag away honestly.
Qi Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. It was indeed not for money, but for gold!
That's it.
Then, the two made an appointment for a date and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Qi Yu took a special look at the man named Huang. This man seemed to be casual and didn't say a word from beginning to end. He was indeed a weirdo.
On the way back, my heart felt like I was fetching water from fifteen buckets—up and down.
happy?
of course not!
But such a windfall suddenly came to him, and he felt a little uneasy.
It is said that people are not rich unless they get a windfall, but when the windfall actually comes, they feel scared again.
How strange!
Let me first ask my husband to clarify my doubts. Firstly, I will reply to his entrustment, and secondly, I will ask if the gold is safe.
As for Meng Lanshan, as if he had guessed that Qi Yu would definitely come, he had already prepared snacks in the yard and waited patiently.
"Shaocheng is here, sit down!"
"Thank you, sir."
…
Qi Yu organized his thoughts and recounted the meeting with Li Liangji in detail.
Finally, he took out the bag of gold again, looking a little worried.
Unexpectedly, the husband turned a blind eye to the gold. He just said that he would accept it with peace of mind and did not talk about anything else.
Well? Why do you only care about money?
Obviously the thinking is not in one dimension!
"Is this really what he said about the Promoting Weaving Sutra?"
"Yes!" Qi Yu nodded and added, "This Young Master Li seems to be quite talented, and he doesn't seem like a playboy who is addicted to gambling."
"Haha, maybe he just deliberately wants people to think that he is the kind of person who is 'gold and jade, but ruined inside'," Meng Lanshan sighed with emotion, and then said to himself: "The purpose of his coming to Yongchuan Mansion is just For a calligraphy and painting?"
Qi Yu couldn't say anything about this kind of topic, so he could only listen quietly.
After a while, Meng Lanshan seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked He Shun to get a medicine book, tear out two pages of drawings from it, and then said to Qi Yu: "In this way, when you draw the cricket picture for him, you can also By the way, I’ll draw the two herbs on this picture.”
"Okay!" Qi Yu looked at it, but didn't recognize it, and said, "Sir, what kind of grass is this?"
"Don't ask! Just draw it."
All right.
Uh, is this considered being used?
No matter, even if you are being used, consider it as repaying your kindness to Mr.
After leaving the Meng Mansion, Qi Yu went to the bank again. He wanted to understand first how the gold and silver were exchanged.
Put it this way.
Although gold is a currency, it is not a normal currency in circulation. In other words, gold is only used in bulk commodity transactions. In other words, if you want to be a money maker, you have to exchange it for silver.
After learning about it, Qi Yu discovered that gold was not as valuable as imagined.
In terms of purchasing power, gold is about thirty times that of silver, and the exchange rate fluctuates slightly and is not fixed.
The dozen or so gold leaves in his hand were equivalent to more than five hundred taels of silver, which was considered a huge fortune.
It feels so good to have money!
However, after having the experience of touching money, although I no longer felt ecstatic, I still had some daydreams.
What is the life of a rich person like?
Eat well, drink well, sleep well...
Stop it!
The sky is clear and the sun is bright, so how can we think wildly?
You have to buy something when you are in a good mood, otherwise how can you reflect the value of money?
It’s been a while since I’ve eaten an uncastrated rooster, buy it!
It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted sea bass. Buy it!
While purchasing, Qi Yu also overheard two strange rumors.
The reason why it is weird is because I don’t know the reason.
The first thing is that all the blacksmiths in Yongchuan Prefecture disappeared in a short period of time, just as they had agreed. Some people say that because of the difficulty of survival, these craftsmen went to other places to make a living. Some people also say that due to the recent rise in iron prices, it is difficult to do business and blacksmiths have changed their profession.
Qi Yu felt that both explanations were unreliable. You must know that blacksmiths are craftsmen. They have to register as craftsmen in their households in the yamen. Whether they are moving or changing their profession, they must go to the yamen to inform them. How could they disappear for no reason?
The second thing is a rumor in the market. It is said that in the recent period, horse hides have been sold out.
Qi Yu also thought this was strange. The horse leather was so hard that it was very uncomfortable to make a leather coat. What could it be used for? Are you still buying?
suddenly...
A cold and swishing thought came to mind... I hope I am overthinking it.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Qi Yu returned home with a happy mood.
Then he closed the door with his own hands and bolted it.
Back in the main room, Qi Yu quickly called his family over. After holding it in for a while, he burst out laughing.
Zhou was shocked: "My son, are you crazy again?"
Liu Quan was also surprised: "It's a bit similar!"
? ?
Qi Yu's smile immediately cracked...
Could it be that he behaves like that when he is happy?
Forget it, let’s get straight to the point!
"Please look!"
"What is this~~~"
ah! It turned out to be...gold!
Except for Xiaotong, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were shocked.
After a long time, Mrs. Zhou said in a dreamy voice: "It turns out that gold looks like this!"
Liu Quan also looked confused, with all kinds of speculations in his heart, but he was more happy.
Yes, ordinary people basically deal with copper coins, and even silver is rare, let alone gold?
Very rare!
Regarding this money, Qi Yu only said that it was the income from selling paintings, and did not say much else.
There are a lot of things here, and I haven’t figured them out yet, so it’s better not to talk about them.
Just be happy.
It seems that when ordinary people encounter happy things, there is only one way to express it, and that is to eat!
And it’s still very filling, so eat hard!
So, Mrs. Zhou happily sorted out the food her son bought.
…
The school term is about to start, so I have to draw quickly.
The money has been collected in advance, how can we not be enlightened?
Worked all night.
Drawing a picture of a cricket is not difficult, especially for someone like the original owner who grew up in the countryside and is very impressed with this insect.
In the meantime, the two medicinal herbs that Meng Lanshan entrusted were also painted.
The overall layout of this painting is pretty good. Under two plants, two crickets are fighting with each other. This painting has both insects and grass, and it looks very pleasing to the eye.
The next day, Qi Yu went to hand over the painting as agreed.
Li Liangji was very satisfied with his efficiency, it was so fast!
Money can make a difference, but of course it must be quick!
Qi Yu looked at the smiling Mr. Li, expecting him to appreciate it, but unexpectedly, he was scolded instead.
"As far as this painting is concerned, it is rich in craftsmanship but not spiritual enough. If you look carefully, it lacks a sense of charm. It seems that you are still far behind everyone's realm." Li Liangji hit the point with one sentence, very objectively The ground judged.
Not only was Qi Yu not angry, but he was slightly shocked.
This is indeed true. I am not a professional painter to begin with. Although my basic skills are considered solid, I am still far from being a great artist.
The reason why color painting is famous is entirely because it is a pioneering gimmick. In terms of true ability, he is still far from meeting everyone's standards.
And this Li Liangji, he can point out the shortcomings at a glance, and he is definitely a person who knows the samadhi of painting deeply.
So, Qi Yu replied sincerely: "Painting is a profound and profound art. Qi is just getting a glimpse of it. Today, he made a fool of himself and made the young master laugh."
Li Liangji nodded and smiled, then pointed at the two plants in the picture and said, "What kind of grass are these two plants? I don't know them."
Khan, I don’t know him either!
How to answer?
If you have it, why don’t you just kill the medicinal herbs!
That’s another way of saying it!
Then, Qi Yu showed a meaningful smile and said: "Young Master can ask the doctor about this, and you will naturally know what it means."
"You mean, this is a medicinal herb?"
"Well……"
It’s hard to pretend!
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to leave quickly!
…
Looking at the background of Qi Yu leaving, Li Liangji said to himself: "This person has his own principles when it comes to money, and he has some good integrity. However, I always feel that he has a sycophantic air. This kind of person can do it. Use, but don’t reuse!”
Then, he ordered the man surnamed Huang: "Take this painting and go to a nearby doctor to ask what the medicinal herbs in this painting are?"
"yes!"
…
School is about to start, and Qi Yu has to start making some preparations.
According to regulations, students in government schools are not allowed to sleep outside, so they cannot go home every day. Of course, you can ask for leave if there is an emergency.
Liu Quan pulled several feet of cloth and sewed a book bag for her husband overnight. In order to make it more elegant, she also embroidered the four red letters "Hope Husband Will Become a Dragon".
Madam, you are really good at sewing. The sewing of this schoolbag is, in one word: beautiful!
Liu Quan also told him: "When you enter a government school, you must abide by the regulations there, and you must have a good relationship with your classmates. You must know that these people are your future connections."
Mrs. Zhou also said: "I have asked around, and they all say that the food in the academy is very poor. If you are greedy, just ask for leave and come back, and my mother will cook you a meal of first-class champion chicken."
Xiaotong clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Dad, you must study hard and make progress every day!"
Facing his family, Qi Yu felt warm in his heart...
