The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 186 Continue to slap in the face, Jin buys a smile
Chapter 186 Continue to slap in the face, a thousand dollars buy a smile
Those who went to participate, except those few friends of Li Linglan, did not intend to save face for Li Linglan at all.When chatting with his relatives and friends, he told every detail vividly.Especially Su Wan's few friends, not seeing the grievances suffered by their friends in front of them, even made a big publicity.In addition, Lu Yiran, Tao Huanhuan and others testified.
At that time, Li Linglan was taken out of the Su family by her own servant girl in a state of embarrassment. It was not that no one saw it, and it proved what these people said.
Overnight, everyone in the streets and alleys knew about this matter, and there was a lot of discussion about it.
Yun Xi once again made a splash. After all, Su Wan also said that she was able to cultivate Yihe that day because Yun Xi gave her a pot.Plus that heartless Song Jinxuanmei...
Li Linglan's defeat was already a certainty.Many people who put a big price on Li Linglan almost wanted to cry without tears. They thought they could take the opportunity to make a small profit, but who knew that the money they invested would be wasted like this, and they lost all their money.
The casino was full of joy. There were quite a few people who beat Li Linglan before, but they got a lot of money by sitting in the bank.To them, Su Wan is the God of Wealth.
If you do it yourself, you have to go on kneeling.These people turned their anger on Li Linglan, and spared no effort in discrediting Li Linglan. After all, the two sides had a deep hatred that blocked people's money.
These people directly pointed out that the rumors that stepped on Yun Xi and Su Wan some time ago were deliberately released by the Li family in order to raise the status of their daughter.
All of a sudden, Li Linglan was cast aside by everyone in the capital, no one said that she had the character of an orchid, and her previous reputation as an orchid fairy became a so-called joke.
The few people who wrote poems for Li Linglan's orchids also caused a commotion.Everyone despised them for their lack of vision and mistook fish eyes for pearls.These people also felt aggrieved, how did they know that Li Linglan was such a person, besides, if there was no comparison between Tian Yihe and Su Xin's Song Jinxuanmei, Li Linglan's potted flower was indeed very good.
Those who were slapped in the face could only vent their anger on Li Linglan. They hated her as much as they liked her before.Li Linglan's followers were even more silent, for fear that everyone would associate them with Li Linglan.
Marquis Li, who had previously been complacent because of his precious daughter's limelight, stayed behind closed doors for several days, for fear of being laughed at when he went out.It was even rarer for him to reprimand Li Linglan, his precious daughter.
Li Linglan was so ashamed that she turned and scolded Yun Xi and Su Wan several times at home, and the sound of broken porcelain in the room was heard from time to time every day.
Besides the Li family, the second tragedy was the judges of the Orchid Festival.
The girls who came back from the Su family were full of praise for the two pots of Tianyihe and Suxin's Song Mei, and they also belittled Li Linglan's orchids by the way.
The masses naturally felt that this was the fault of the organizers of the Orchid Festival.Those who didn't choose Su Wan and Du Yunxi chose Li Linglan, who had a low character.
The organizers were also very wronged. They obviously sent posts to the two of them, but they both rejected it outright.Now that this happened, even their reputation was damaged.
Yun Xi discussed it with Su Wan and came out to make a so-called clarification statement. The words were as follows: They raised orchids because they liked it, not for fame, so they didn't participate in this orchid festival. It has nothing to do with the sponsor.
Everyone couldn't help admiring: This is the person who really has the character of orchids, not like someone who is alive and kicking, just using orchids to make a name for himself.
While praising Yun Xi and the others, he stepped on Li Linglan by the way.
They turned their attention to this, rather than attacking the judges of the Orchid Festival.Those judges finally breathed a sigh of relief, and vowed to wait for the autumn orchid festival, no matter how much they begged grandpa to sue grandma, they would have to invite these two uncles out.
Yun Xi really didn't care much about the praise from the outside world.It's just that besides the peony fairy, there is another orchid fairy, and this reputation can't be taken for granted.
She, Yunyao, Du Zhoushi and the others were all squinting with smiles on the money sent by the gambling house.
Du Zhoushi was in an extremely good mood holding the white banknotes.She and Yifu had been hesitant about how much to gamble before, after all, the Chuan Chuan Xiang shop was about to open, and money was needed everywhere.But in the end, the trust in their niece prevailed. As soon as the two gritted their teeth, they took out 1 taels of silver, and finally reaped 10 taels—even more than their savings over the years.
Even Yun Xi was very surprised by their decision.
Yunyao was already very satisfied with the 3 taels, and with the addition of this money, she now had a savings of 2 taels, so she directly spent [-] taels generously to buy the land.
As the leader of the hidden sect, Yun Shen directly dropped 2 taels.After reaping 20 taels, he gave 5 taels of it to Yun Xi, calling it a bonus.
Yun Xi accepted the money with a smile.
Yan Ling also made a small profit on her side. She tortured her mother and took out 5000 taels of silver - this money was part of the bonus Yan Ling and Yun Xi got from their previous business.Now I changed hands and earned back 5 taels.Mrs. Dai was extremely grateful to Yun Xi.The marriage between Yan Ling and Wen Ziran has been settled. After the abbot of Ci'an Temple married, he said that the two are a match made in heaven, and Yan Ling herself is still in the Wangfuwang family.
After Wen's family learned about this from the abbot, they couldn't be more satisfied with Yan Ling. Even Marquis Wen, who was quite critical at first, didn't object at all immediately.In fact, it was because of Yun Xi that the abbot of Ci'an Temple became so enlightened.Yun Xi had previously mentioned how the monks in Ci'an Temple managed their reputation. As a result, the temple became famous because of Jiang Wenyue's affairs, and pilgrims flocked to it.Yun Xi heard that the two families went to Ci'an Temple to check their horoscopes, so she came up with the idea of helping her friends.
Ci'an Temple also helped to exaggerate Dai Yanling's horoscope.Anyway, Dai Yanling's horoscope is quite prosperous, plus he is destined to be rich and powerful, so they are not wrong, it's just a little exaggerated.
It just so happened that Wen Ziran was promoted from the third-rank guard to the second-rank guard of the fourth rank not long after the two families exchanged Geng posts.Seeing this, the Wen family believed deeply in Dai Yanling's fate as a prosperous husband, and they couldn't wait to announce the marriage of the two families, which made many people staring at Wen Ziran beat their chests, thinking that they would only benefit the Dai family if they were a step late.
Although the Dai family is also a family of officials and officials, and Dai Hai is still a member of the official department of the fifth rank, Wailang, but the Dai family is really not well-known in the capital, but the Wen family is a first-class family. Good match.
In the eyes of outsiders, this marriage is that the Dai family has taken over the Wen family.
Coupled with the fact that the family property is there, Mrs. Dai racked her brains in order to come up with a dowry that would not be underestimated.Now that there is an extra 5 taels of silver, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
Yan Ling also thanked her solemnly, and said with a smile that she had good eyesight, which is why she made such a friend as Yun Xi.
Yun Xi also smiled and congratulated her on her marriage to Wen Ziran.
After seeing off Yan Ling, Li Qiu came to ask Yun Xi for instructions, "Miss, there is something new about Wang Jiacai."
Wang Jiacai was the so-called rich businessman who was bought by the Li family before and came to sing a double reed.At that time, the Li family promised to give Wang Jiacai 1000 taels of silver, and Wang Jiacai begged to buy Song Jinxuanmei with 2 taels in public.
Seeing Yun Xi's interested expression, Li Qiu continued: "The Li family's 1000 taels of silver have not been given to Wang Jiacai until now. Wang Jiacai spent some money on buying things for this matter, but owes more than 50 taels of silver. He went to the Li family to ask for money, but the Li family refused to admit it and kicked him out."
Yun Xi was a little surprised, "This Li family is also the Hou family's family after all, so it's not like they can't even take out 1000 taels."
Li Qiu smiled and said: "The Li family really can't afford this money. There are only a few hundred taels of silver in his family's account. It is even difficult to pay the servants monthly money. After all, this money has to be used to buy three meals a day. Vegetables and meat." There are also things like making clothes in changing seasons, which can't be saved.
"Before, the Li family had full confidence in Li Linglan, so they put all their cash on Li Linglan—that was 5 taels, but now the 5 taels are all in vain."
It was for this reason that Marquis Li was so angry with Li Linglan that he didn't even give face to his concubine.
Yun Xi was very relieved, "It deserves it!"
She pondered for a while, "Find someone to fan the flames in Wang Jiacai's ear, and say that the Du family already knew that he cooperated with the Li family in stepping on me, and they were very dissatisfied with it, and planned to blame him. And hinted to him that he could Going to court to sue the Li family, on the one hand, you can get back 1000 taels of silver, on the other hand, it can be regarded as a petition for me. He can even shout in the courtroom after suing, if something happens to him, It must be the black hands of the Li family."
As the princess, Yun Xi couldn't find trouble with him.
Li Qiu laughed immediately, "That's a good idea, Wang Jiacai will definitely choose to do this. Taking the money can also dispel the young lady's dissatisfaction with him."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up slightly, cutting the weeds to get rid of the roots, if she hadn't directly beaten Li Linglan to the ground, she would probably jump out again soon after people forgot about it.At that time, those who know that they have been fooled will definitely hate Li Linglan to death.
Li Qiu was very active, and on March 31, Wang Jiacai really went to Shuntian Mansion to sue the Li family for breaking their promises and not giving him money.
In the courtroom, he said with snot and tears that Li's family bought him to put on a play with 1000 taels of silver.For the sake of money, he risked offending the Du family and the Su family, took the risk, and owed a lot of money for it.As a result, after the incident was completed, the Li family turned their faces and refused to recognize him. Not only did they not give him money, they even beat him up.
Wang Jiacai did not forget to show the wound on his arm to show that what he said was true.
At that time, in order to increase their reputation, the Li family directly let Wang Jiacai act in full view, so many people really recognized him. In addition, Wang Jiacai also produced the documents signed by the two at that time, which can be said to be conclusive evidence.
Everyone was in an uproar, because of the 2 taels earlier, everyone felt that Li Linglan did not bend for money, and had Lan's character.Now that it was revealed that all of this was false, they immediately felt that they had been fooled by the Li family and Li Linglan, and they were even more furious, and the crowd was furious.
The Li family simply played with them as fools, and what was even more annoyed was that they were really fooled.Many of the people who were taken in were the so-called literati and poets. The pens of literati were like knives. In anger, one article after another ruined the Li family to nothing, and Li Linglan was the object of their deep contempt.
Admiring vanity, practicing deceit, scheming, and vicious thoughts.One after another hats were buckled on her body.
She and Liu Weishuang can even run for the women with the worst reputation in Beijing this year.
Speaking of Liu Weishuang, what surprised everyone was the fact that the eldest prince Chu Long asked for her to be his concubine a few days ago.After the secret tangle between the two of them broke out, while Liu Weishuang was despised by everyone, even Chu Long's reputation was also tainted.In everyone's eyes, even someone like Liu Weishuang doesn't dislike him, so how much better would that be?
Chu Long really didn't expect everyone to resist Liu Weishuang so much. Although he felt a little regretful, he gritted his teeth and endured it because of Liu's family's military power and Liu Weishuang's pregnancy.Who made him have no son now!
Perhaps Chu Long should thank Li Linglan, at least Li Linglan's matter diverted everyone's attention.People ran to criticize Li Linglan instead.
……
Because of the abundant evidence, the Li family could only hold their noses and gave Wang Jiacai 1000 taels in the end.For the money, Lord Li Hou had to pawn his beloved fans in exchange for money.
The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and while the Li family was crumbling, Li Houye's official wife, Li Wu, stood up and dealt a heavy blow to the Li family.
Li Wu's previous natal family, Wu's family, was also a so-called honorable family. When she got married, she had a lot of red makeup and a rich dowry.It's just that the Wu family suffered a lot due to the strife in the officialdom a few years ago. Those who demoted officials were demoted, and those who were dismissed were dismissed.The Wu family has plummeted. In addition, the marriage between the daughter and the son is still in the hands of her husband and mother-in-law. Li Wu has no choice but to swallow her anger. Even her husband's family can only use her dowry, for fear that her daughter will be married to a dude. children.
As a dignified official wife, her status in the mansion is far inferior to that of a concubine's room. Who would allow this concubine's room to have the support of her husband and mother-in-law?After all, Aunt Song is the mother-in-law's niece.
Even a few days ago, I heard that many people in the casino were betting on Li Linglan and Su Wan. Under the persuasion of her daughter Li Lingmei, Li Wu promptly sold the dowry and raised 2 taels of silver to put on Su Wan. It turned out to be a big profit a sum.
It can only be said that Li Lingmei is indeed a smart person. From the mouths of the people in the capital, she judged that Su Wan is not as conceited as her concubine sister. She has a reputation for being smart since she was a child, and she was taught by Xueshi Su herself since she was a child.It is impossible for such a person to recklessly fight an uncertain battle, so he persuaded his mother and put the heavy treasure on Su Wan.He also bet out the few thousand taels he had saved since childhood.
After getting back a lot of money now, with money in hand, he naturally has confidence in his heart.
In addition, because of Li Linglan's sake, the Li family's reputation is not known to be bad, and the families who originally agreed to talk about marriage even more shy away from them one by one.
Li Wushi directly took the evidence of the embezzled dowry and ordered them to make it up within three days, or she directly reconciled with the Li family and made the whole capital know about it.At that time, the Li family will still have to make up for the stolen dowry, and everyone in the world knows that the Li family is like this, so no one would be willing to marry a good family over.
The previous hot spring village was bought by the Li family with Li Wu's dowry.
As a nobleman of the Hou family, not only doting on concubines and destroying wives, but also taking dowry, the Li family's reputation will probably be worse than the gutter - although the reputation is bad enough now.
I have to admit that Li Wu's timing of launching the attack was particularly good, and now happened to be the time when the Li family was in a state of distress.
Li Wu also said that she would go to the court to sue the concubine and the concubine for disrespecting the aunt's mother. With such an unfilial hat on, the future of Li Linglan and Li Sihan, the beloved son and daughter of Aunt Song, would be ruined. .
Not to mention continuing to study in the Imperial College, there is no possibility of even getting a fame.
In the eyes of Li Ronghai and Mrs. Li, Li Sihan is rich in education, and they value Li Sihan's future the most, so they are not willing to have such a thing happen.
Seeing Li Wu's tough attitude, it was obvious that he was going all out, so he could only grit his teeth and agree in the end.
They not only promised to return the embezzled money, but also wrote a note, promising not to interfere in the marriage between Li Lingmei and Li Siyu, and only Li Wu's decision.She had endured it all the time before because of the marriage of this pair of children.
In order to prepare the money within three days, the Li family had to bet a lot of land and a store to the Li Wu family.Even the hot spring Zhuangzi paid 4000 taels of silver to Li Wu.They wanted to pay 1 taels, but Li Wu directly sneered: "At that time, the Zhuangzi bought it with 4000 taels from my dowry."
Hearing the threat in Li Wu's words, Li Ronghai could only swallow his anger.
In the end, Li Wu got a hot spring village, [-] mu of fertile land and two shops from the Li family as compensation, all of which she personally selected.
As soon as she changed hands, she recorded the hot spring village, 20 acres of fertile land and a shop in her daughter's name, and gave the rest to her son.No matter how his son Li Siyu was, he was still the legitimate son of the Li family. No matter how unhappy the Li family was, at least 4% of his property would be awarded to him in the end.But the daughter is different, so she naturally wants to leave more money to her daughter.As for the [-] taels of silver she got, on the one hand, she took out [-] taels to manage for her natal family, and let the two children share the rest equally.
Li Siyu has a very good relationship with his younger sister, and the reason why his mother earns so much money is also her sister's suggestion, so naturally he has no opinion on this.Over the years, the embarrassing situation in the mansion made the relationship between mother and son, brother and sister better.All they can rely on is each other.
As for Li Ronghai and Mrs. Li, they couldn't get good from Li Wu's side, and now they have lost the possibility of restricting Li Wu's.They thought that the instigator was Li Linglan. If it wasn't for helping her to make a name for herself, she would marry into the Wen family as Mrs. Hou and support her natal family, how could she be in such an embarrassing state.
The more Li Ronghai thought about it, the angrier he became, completely forgetting that he was very much in favor of this idea at the beginning, and even Wang Jiacai was sent to find out by him.
Li Ronghai also heard that Li Linglan threw cups and things every day. Looking at the bills brought by the servants, Li Ronghai was furious. Take back all the valuables in the house, pawn them, and collect 6000 taels of silver to ease the embarrassment of the book.After all, the land and the store were not available until the end of the year, and the Li family had to survive the remaining eight months.
Aunt Song wanted to intercede for her beloved daughter, but was slapped by Li Ronghai instead—it was because Aunt Song didn't teach the child well.
As far as Li Ronghai is concerned, it is his credit that his son and daughter are promising, and if they do not do well, it is Aunt Song's fault.
Mrs. Li was so angry that her chest hurt because of a large amount of blood in the family, and she didn't feel good when she saw this niece of her natal family.
……
Li Qiu smiled and talked about these things that happened in the Li family, which made Yun Xi and others amazed.
Yun Yao was puzzled and asked: "Why didn't Mrs. Li Wu take the opportunity to take back the right to housekeeper?"
Yun Xi smiled, "She is stupid to take over the mess at this time. The Li family was short of money before. If she ran to the housekeeper, wouldn't she use her dowry to fill the hole? It's better to close the yard tightly and wait Take care of yourself. Now that she has money, and she is not afraid of Li Ronghai, those servants are the most bullying and afraid of toughness. If she relaxes a little bit, she is afraid that the servants will play against the wind and run to curry favor her."
The current housekeeper right is a hot potato.
Yun Yao suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
She frowned and said, "A man who takes a concubine doesn't have a single good thing!" You can tell from Li Ronghai's virtues. He was with his cousin Song Auntie over there, neglecting his wife, pampering his concubine and destroying his wife. After something happened, it was blamed on my cousin.But Aunt Song is not a good person either, it's just right for two dogs to bite dogs.
Li Qiu nodded, "That's very true. The eldest girl of the Li family is also a capable person. She is secretly looking for that kind of lean horse that has been trained to seduce men, and plans to give it to her father."
A hint of admiration flashed in Yun Xi's eyes, "This Li Lingmei is usually not well-known, and she is even said to be a bit cowardly, but in fact she has a deep gap in her chest. Aunt Song is old and decrepit, and now she has a bad relationship with Li Ronghai, if someone knows A smart, young and beautiful woman appears, I am not afraid that Li Ronghai will not take the bait."
"She acted very decisively, and she grasped the timing well. Li Wu's attack this time is probably her daughter's advice. She is also very smart and aware of current affairs. Chance kills with one blow."
Yun Xi didn't think it was wrong for Li Lingmei to plot against her father, she was just doing it for self-protection and revenge.You can't be slapped in the face, and you can lick your face and get another slap.
From her full admiration, she knew that she liked Li Lingmei quite a lot.
Yun Yao sighed and said, "I originally thought I was a smart person even when I was young, but if I were put in that environment, I'm afraid I'd just deal with them simply and rudely."
Yun Xi smiled, "It's good that you are like this. She was also forced out." With her protection, Yun Yao has always maintained an innocent and cheerful personality, Yun Xi thinks this is very good.Anyway, the little girl is usually very clever, and she won't let herself suffer.
Yun Yao made a vicious expression, "If my future husband-in-law dares to take a concubine and empathize with him, I will first drug him, make him inhumane, and make him an end, and then we will make peace with him!"
She made such an expression on her cute little face, and she uttered words that would make all men terrified. The sense of disobedience was unusually strong.
Yun Xi chuckled, but instead praised, "Very well, that's how it should be! Girls from my Du family must have such courage."
……
After learning of what happened to Li Linglan and the others, Yun Xi didn't pay much attention to the Li family.After all, she had to prepare for the opening of the library in early April.
Her library in the capital has a lot more books than in Fenghuang County.After all, some people with good relations also sent their own books for her to print.For example, Tao Huanhuan, after being rescued by Yun Xi, the Tao family copied all the books in their family's collection and gave it to Yun Xi.
The library time was finally set on April [-]th.
The layout is the same as that of the library in Fenghuang County, only bigger, with a size of five acres and three floors.The windows are also made of glass, and the windows are bright and clean.Yun Xi had already found volunteers for a month in advance, and with their help, the opening day was orderly.
The library is not in a busy area, it is about a quarter of an hour away from the hustle and bustle of the market, but there are also some snack shops nearby, so those scholars who visit the door do not have to worry about three meals.
Yun Xi had already released this news before, so many scholars in the capital were looking forward to this library.
On April [-]th, before the library opened, a lot of scholars flocked to the door. They were dressed in brocade clothes, or in coarse cloth and green shirts. They gathered in twos and threes, discussing how many books there would be in the library. collection of books.
Yun Xi was deeply influenced by her previous life. Before opening, she always liked to place flower pots at the door.The flowers she put out were all from her usual flower room. Although she did not bring out the species that she considered precious, each plant was well-raised by her and was very good, which attracted the praise of those scholars.
Someone else said: "I don't think Princess Ming is called Peony Fairy or Orchid Fairy, she's just a flower fairy. No matter what kind of flower, it always seems to be the most beautiful in her hands."
The other disagreed, "Not only flowers, but also other plants are also well maintained. Look at the potted pine and cypress, which is very wild."
The others couldn't help but nodded in agreement, discussing what kind of name they could give Yun Xi.
Amidst the discussions, the library opened on time when it was time for Chen Shi.
Although there were a lot of people gathered at the door, everyone thought they were scholars, so naturally they couldn't do the rude behavior of squeezing in. The team was orderly.
This also relieved the few scholars who were volunteers today. They showed gentle smiles and welcomed these people in. Among them, they saw several acquaintances.
As soon as they walked in, just the counter near the door shocked them greatly.
On the counter, Yun Xi directly placed a pot of Tianyi lotus and a pot of Su Xin Song Jinxuan plum over there, one on the left and one on the right.Each of the two basins has its own unique elegance, and they are not dimmed by the other's brilliance, but are extraordinarily harmonious and harmonious.
One of them asked with a trembling voice, "Is this the rumored Tian Yihe?"
"Is this the pot of Suxin Songmei?"
Wang Xiucai showed a refined smile, and explained to everyone, "This is because Princess Ming considers that her flower house cannot be opened to the outside world, and many people have no chance to see these two pots of flowers, so she simply put them here. If you want to see them in the future , you can come and enjoy it from time to time.”
Wang Xiucai said humorously: "I just hope that everyone will exercise some restraint, and don't let the door be blocked."
Everyone came back to their senses and couldn't help laughing.Now the door is blocked, everyone is here, enjoying the beauty of these two potted flowers. This kind of beauty surpasses everyone's aesthetics.
As a result, many people sighed and went inside step by step, turning their heads three times, making way for the people behind.
"Master Ming's heart is truly extraordinary." Such an orchid, which is worth tens of thousands of dollars, is placed directly in the library, and you are not afraid of being bumped by someone accidentally. This kind of heart is really admirable.
"That's right, it's not like that Li Linglan, who hides it, lest everyone will see it badly."
Just seeing the rows of bookshelves, and the scent of ink lingering in their noses, they couldn't help but cheer up and their eyes lit up.
Wang Xiucai and the others smiled slightly, and introduced the classification of books in each district.
Walking down the whole circle, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There are indeed a lot of books here. After Wang Xiucai and others learned about the method of borrowing books and applying for certificates, everyone couldn't wait to get one.The volunteers in the library are probably busy these days.
The outside world also praised Yunxi's library a lot, thinking that it was a good thing for the country and the people.Just as Yun Xi thought, many aristocratic families can do this, but they are unwilling to contribute their rich collection of books, let alone spend the money.
So he could only watch Yun Xi's reputation get better and better.
……
Yun Xi didn't pay much attention to the turmoil from the outside world, and now she was sorting things out.
Earlier, she opened the calligraphy and paintings that Su Wan gave her, and after inviting Yun Shen to appraise them, she found that they were all authentic copies of ancient monuments.
Among them are some famous poets, painters and calligraphers hundreds of years ago.According to Yun Shen, she made a profit.Orchids may depreciate in value, but the prices of these authentic works will only get higher and higher.
Then he lamented that the Su family's background is so deep that these things can be given away.
Yun Xi then remembered the things she had scavenged at the flea market in the state capital earlier.When she moved to the capital, she brought them along with her, but they kept them in the warehouse and ignored her. After a long time, she even forgot about having these things.
She subconsciously focused her powers on her eyes, and looked at the five calligraphy and paintings that Su Wan gave her. As she expected, these calligraphy and paintings were shrouded in a faint light.
Yun Xi immediately took out all the things she bought, wiped off the dust on them with a silk cloth, and then continued to make Yun Shen work as a coolie.Yun Shen was brought by the Chu Emperor Chu Xiyuan's side since he was a child. The palace has the most good things in the world. He has seen a lot of them. He is much better at connoisseurship than those so-called connoisseurs in the capital.
Yun Shen picked them up one by one, looked at them carefully, and finally divided them into two piles, his eyes were a little complicated, "These are all authentic, this is the copybook written by Master Chaoming, this is Rong Luo's authentic calligraphy and painting, this is Tang Tian's Paradise Street Picture, this is Ming Fei's collection of manuscript poems..." He introduced them to Yun Xi one by one, and explained how to find out that these are authentic works.
At the end, he asked curiously, "Where did you find these?" The works of these few have not been circulated in the world, so their authentic works are even more precious.
So Yun Shen wondered how Yun Xi got it. If there was only one pair, it would be fine, but there were quite a few.
Yun Xi chuckled, her smile revealing a bit of complacency, her expression was playful, "This one, I found it at the flea market!"
The original smile on Yun Shen's face froze, "Impossible!" He frowned subconsciously, "You don't know how to appreciate these, so why did you just pick them out?"
Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Well, I choose the one that looks pleasing to the eye. You just tell me how much it is worth, so I can figure it out." If the value is very high, then she will go to the capital city. The second-hand market has picked up the leaks, and the receipt may be bigger.
Yun Shen looked at her money-obsessed appearance, and gritted his teeth helplessly, "You are not allowed to sell these, these are good things with a price but no market."
"This one is 3000 taels, and this one is 1 taels. Master Chaoming is the most famous eminent monk in the past thousand years, and the copybooks he wrote are worth at least 2 taels..." Yun Shen introduced them one by one.
Yun Xi quickly calculated each of the things he said, and was very satisfied to find that these things add up to at least 10 taels, and picking up leaks is simply a good way to make a fortune!No, she has to find some time to pick up the leak again.
What the Du family lacked the most were these things.
She suddenly remembered that Yunyao also bought a fairy boy's woodcarving before. After buying it, Yunyao liked it very much, so she often played with it in her hands. look.
After Yun Shen looked at it, he was completely speechless to the pair of cousins. If the news got out, how many people in the world would envy and hate the two of them, "This is also a wood carving carved by Master Chaoming." He took a look With Yun Xi's expression on her face, she added, "Well, it can be sold for at least 1 taels."
Yun Xi was instantly satisfied, and asked Yin Dan to tell Yun Yao the good news by the way.
Yun Xi looked at the few things that Yun Shen picked out, "Aren't these useless?" Among them was the Duan Inkstone that she specially picked out at that time.
Yun Shen said casually: "I don't see which famous artist's work it is."
Yun Xi blinked, took the inkstone in her hand, shook it a few times, and said suspiciously: "I always feel that it's weird to hold this thing in my hand." It feels like the center of gravity is wrong.
Her heart suddenly moved, and she looked at the inkstone thoughtfully.
"what happened?"
Yun Xi blinked and said, "I just think I can peel off the outermost part to have a look."
After all, she believed in her abilities more, and did not believe that the Duan Inkstone, which was shining in her eyes, was worthless.Anyway, when this thing was sold, it didn't cost much money, and she didn't feel bad if it was really destroyed.
Well, one must be content.It should be enough to find so many authentic works.
Yun Xi, who was full of mobility, directly took out her dagger and began to strike.
The corner of Yun Shen's mouth twitched as he watched this scene—should he say that Yun Xi really is someone who does not follow the usual path?
Originally, Yun Xi thought it would be better to knock for a while, but who knew that the outermost stone seemed to have been casted by some magic, and the stones fell all over the ground, revealing the true face inside - it was a black ink block , the color is so thick and black that it is very pure, and even has a warm feeling.
Yun Xi tapped some ink sticks, unexpectedly, the touch was smooth, and did not leave any marks on her hands.Without Yun Shen's introduction, Yun Xi knew that this must be a good thing.
Yun Shen was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
He sighed, "I never thought I would be blind. It's a clever idea to hide the ink in the stone and make the stone into a Duan inkstone."
Yun Xi smiled at him triumphantly, "What is this?"
Yun Shen said, "This is Immortal ink."
Yun Xi had never heard of this name before, and suddenly felt like a turtle, "What fairy ink?"
Yun Shen's tone was a bit sad, how many people's dreams were so easily obtained by Yun Xi - but she still didn't know anything about it, if those fans of Immortal Mo knew about it, they would probably vomit a mouthful of blood .
"Immortal ink is only suitable for immortals. It is said that it was found in an extremely cold place. It is lubricated and does not leave any ink marks. It melts in water, and it can be used without even grinding the ink. The ink is no matter what. The paper can be swiped freely, and the remaining ink remains like yesterday even after a thousand years, and the ink fragrance lingers, it is the legendary ink.”
Yun Xi understood, and asked the question she was most concerned about, "Is it priceless? How much can it be sold for?"
Yun Shen almost vomited blood, "This thing cannot be sold."
Yun Xi sighed, "I'm just asking, I'm curious."
Looking at her nonchalant attitude, Yun Shen felt that it was annoying, "I had a piece of fairy ink earlier, it was about half the size of the one you have, and it sold for 20 taels of silver."
Yun Xi immediately felt refreshed.Then she has at least 40 taels of silver on hand.
Seeing Yun Shen's rare gaffe, she couldn't help but chuckle in the end.She put the ink in Yunshen's hand, with a slight smile on her face, "I'll give this to you."
Her gentle smile eclipsed the many blooming flowers planted in the garden.
It was rare for Yun Xi to see Yun Shen's directly dull expression, and she was overjoyed, and the smile on her face deepened, "Come on, at least give me a smile, this is considered a beautiful smile, and it cost ten thousand gold, right?"
After Yun Shen's initial daze, a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if the snow and ice melted and a hundred flowers bloomed.
Yun Xi felt that even if 10 taels were placed in front of her, it would not be worth his smile.At this moment, she even somewhat understood that those foolish kings who smiled for the Bomei people and played with the princes.It seems that she also has the potential to be a fool.
Before such beauty, 100 million taels is cheap.
After appreciating it, she stuffed one of the books into Yun Meiren's hands, and spared no effort to squeeze out his remaining value, "Come, help me read this book, don't miss it again."
Yun Shen: "..."
Hunjun Yunxi, beauty Yunshen, very good and powerful!
(End of this chapter)
Those who went to participate, except those few friends of Li Linglan, did not intend to save face for Li Linglan at all.When chatting with his relatives and friends, he told every detail vividly.Especially Su Wan's few friends, not seeing the grievances suffered by their friends in front of them, even made a big publicity.In addition, Lu Yiran, Tao Huanhuan and others testified.
At that time, Li Linglan was taken out of the Su family by her own servant girl in a state of embarrassment. It was not that no one saw it, and it proved what these people said.
Overnight, everyone in the streets and alleys knew about this matter, and there was a lot of discussion about it.
Yun Xi once again made a splash. After all, Su Wan also said that she was able to cultivate Yihe that day because Yun Xi gave her a pot.Plus that heartless Song Jinxuanmei...
Li Linglan's defeat was already a certainty.Many people who put a big price on Li Linglan almost wanted to cry without tears. They thought they could take the opportunity to make a small profit, but who knew that the money they invested would be wasted like this, and they lost all their money.
The casino was full of joy. There were quite a few people who beat Li Linglan before, but they got a lot of money by sitting in the bank.To them, Su Wan is the God of Wealth.
If you do it yourself, you have to go on kneeling.These people turned their anger on Li Linglan, and spared no effort in discrediting Li Linglan. After all, the two sides had a deep hatred that blocked people's money.
These people directly pointed out that the rumors that stepped on Yun Xi and Su Wan some time ago were deliberately released by the Li family in order to raise the status of their daughter.
All of a sudden, Li Linglan was cast aside by everyone in the capital, no one said that she had the character of an orchid, and her previous reputation as an orchid fairy became a so-called joke.
The few people who wrote poems for Li Linglan's orchids also caused a commotion.Everyone despised them for their lack of vision and mistook fish eyes for pearls.These people also felt aggrieved, how did they know that Li Linglan was such a person, besides, if there was no comparison between Tian Yihe and Su Xin's Song Jinxuanmei, Li Linglan's potted flower was indeed very good.
Those who were slapped in the face could only vent their anger on Li Linglan. They hated her as much as they liked her before.Li Linglan's followers were even more silent, for fear that everyone would associate them with Li Linglan.
Marquis Li, who had previously been complacent because of his precious daughter's limelight, stayed behind closed doors for several days, for fear of being laughed at when he went out.It was even rarer for him to reprimand Li Linglan, his precious daughter.
Li Linglan was so ashamed that she turned and scolded Yun Xi and Su Wan several times at home, and the sound of broken porcelain in the room was heard from time to time every day.
Besides the Li family, the second tragedy was the judges of the Orchid Festival.
The girls who came back from the Su family were full of praise for the two pots of Tianyihe and Suxin's Song Mei, and they also belittled Li Linglan's orchids by the way.
The masses naturally felt that this was the fault of the organizers of the Orchid Festival.Those who didn't choose Su Wan and Du Yunxi chose Li Linglan, who had a low character.
The organizers were also very wronged. They obviously sent posts to the two of them, but they both rejected it outright.Now that this happened, even their reputation was damaged.
Yun Xi discussed it with Su Wan and came out to make a so-called clarification statement. The words were as follows: They raised orchids because they liked it, not for fame, so they didn't participate in this orchid festival. It has nothing to do with the sponsor.
Everyone couldn't help admiring: This is the person who really has the character of orchids, not like someone who is alive and kicking, just using orchids to make a name for himself.
While praising Yun Xi and the others, he stepped on Li Linglan by the way.
They turned their attention to this, rather than attacking the judges of the Orchid Festival.Those judges finally breathed a sigh of relief, and vowed to wait for the autumn orchid festival, no matter how much they begged grandpa to sue grandma, they would have to invite these two uncles out.
Yun Xi really didn't care much about the praise from the outside world.It's just that besides the peony fairy, there is another orchid fairy, and this reputation can't be taken for granted.
She, Yunyao, Du Zhoushi and the others were all squinting with smiles on the money sent by the gambling house.
Du Zhoushi was in an extremely good mood holding the white banknotes.She and Yifu had been hesitant about how much to gamble before, after all, the Chuan Chuan Xiang shop was about to open, and money was needed everywhere.But in the end, the trust in their niece prevailed. As soon as the two gritted their teeth, they took out 1 taels of silver, and finally reaped 10 taels—even more than their savings over the years.
Even Yun Xi was very surprised by their decision.
Yunyao was already very satisfied with the 3 taels, and with the addition of this money, she now had a savings of 2 taels, so she directly spent [-] taels generously to buy the land.
As the leader of the hidden sect, Yun Shen directly dropped 2 taels.After reaping 20 taels, he gave 5 taels of it to Yun Xi, calling it a bonus.
Yun Xi accepted the money with a smile.
Yan Ling also made a small profit on her side. She tortured her mother and took out 5000 taels of silver - this money was part of the bonus Yan Ling and Yun Xi got from their previous business.Now I changed hands and earned back 5 taels.Mrs. Dai was extremely grateful to Yun Xi.The marriage between Yan Ling and Wen Ziran has been settled. After the abbot of Ci'an Temple married, he said that the two are a match made in heaven, and Yan Ling herself is still in the Wangfuwang family.
After Wen's family learned about this from the abbot, they couldn't be more satisfied with Yan Ling. Even Marquis Wen, who was quite critical at first, didn't object at all immediately.In fact, it was because of Yun Xi that the abbot of Ci'an Temple became so enlightened.Yun Xi had previously mentioned how the monks in Ci'an Temple managed their reputation. As a result, the temple became famous because of Jiang Wenyue's affairs, and pilgrims flocked to it.Yun Xi heard that the two families went to Ci'an Temple to check their horoscopes, so she came up with the idea of helping her friends.
Ci'an Temple also helped to exaggerate Dai Yanling's horoscope.Anyway, Dai Yanling's horoscope is quite prosperous, plus he is destined to be rich and powerful, so they are not wrong, it's just a little exaggerated.
It just so happened that Wen Ziran was promoted from the third-rank guard to the second-rank guard of the fourth rank not long after the two families exchanged Geng posts.Seeing this, the Wen family believed deeply in Dai Yanling's fate as a prosperous husband, and they couldn't wait to announce the marriage of the two families, which made many people staring at Wen Ziran beat their chests, thinking that they would only benefit the Dai family if they were a step late.
Although the Dai family is also a family of officials and officials, and Dai Hai is still a member of the official department of the fifth rank, Wailang, but the Dai family is really not well-known in the capital, but the Wen family is a first-class family. Good match.
In the eyes of outsiders, this marriage is that the Dai family has taken over the Wen family.
Coupled with the fact that the family property is there, Mrs. Dai racked her brains in order to come up with a dowry that would not be underestimated.Now that there is an extra 5 taels of silver, it can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
Yan Ling also thanked her solemnly, and said with a smile that she had good eyesight, which is why she made such a friend as Yun Xi.
Yun Xi also smiled and congratulated her on her marriage to Wen Ziran.
After seeing off Yan Ling, Li Qiu came to ask Yun Xi for instructions, "Miss, there is something new about Wang Jiacai."
Wang Jiacai was the so-called rich businessman who was bought by the Li family before and came to sing a double reed.At that time, the Li family promised to give Wang Jiacai 1000 taels of silver, and Wang Jiacai begged to buy Song Jinxuanmei with 2 taels in public.
Seeing Yun Xi's interested expression, Li Qiu continued: "The Li family's 1000 taels of silver have not been given to Wang Jiacai until now. Wang Jiacai spent some money on buying things for this matter, but owes more than 50 taels of silver. He went to the Li family to ask for money, but the Li family refused to admit it and kicked him out."
Yun Xi was a little surprised, "This Li family is also the Hou family's family after all, so it's not like they can't even take out 1000 taels."
Li Qiu smiled and said: "The Li family really can't afford this money. There are only a few hundred taels of silver in his family's account. It is even difficult to pay the servants monthly money. After all, this money has to be used to buy three meals a day. Vegetables and meat." There are also things like making clothes in changing seasons, which can't be saved.
"Before, the Li family had full confidence in Li Linglan, so they put all their cash on Li Linglan—that was 5 taels, but now the 5 taels are all in vain."
It was for this reason that Marquis Li was so angry with Li Linglan that he didn't even give face to his concubine.
Yun Xi was very relieved, "It deserves it!"
She pondered for a while, "Find someone to fan the flames in Wang Jiacai's ear, and say that the Du family already knew that he cooperated with the Li family in stepping on me, and they were very dissatisfied with it, and planned to blame him. And hinted to him that he could Going to court to sue the Li family, on the one hand, you can get back 1000 taels of silver, on the other hand, it can be regarded as a petition for me. He can even shout in the courtroom after suing, if something happens to him, It must be the black hands of the Li family."
As the princess, Yun Xi couldn't find trouble with him.
Li Qiu laughed immediately, "That's a good idea, Wang Jiacai will definitely choose to do this. Taking the money can also dispel the young lady's dissatisfaction with him."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up slightly, cutting the weeds to get rid of the roots, if she hadn't directly beaten Li Linglan to the ground, she would probably jump out again soon after people forgot about it.At that time, those who know that they have been fooled will definitely hate Li Linglan to death.
Li Qiu was very active, and on March 31, Wang Jiacai really went to Shuntian Mansion to sue the Li family for breaking their promises and not giving him money.
In the courtroom, he said with snot and tears that Li's family bought him to put on a play with 1000 taels of silver.For the sake of money, he risked offending the Du family and the Su family, took the risk, and owed a lot of money for it.As a result, after the incident was completed, the Li family turned their faces and refused to recognize him. Not only did they not give him money, they even beat him up.
Wang Jiacai did not forget to show the wound on his arm to show that what he said was true.
At that time, in order to increase their reputation, the Li family directly let Wang Jiacai act in full view, so many people really recognized him. In addition, Wang Jiacai also produced the documents signed by the two at that time, which can be said to be conclusive evidence.
Everyone was in an uproar, because of the 2 taels earlier, everyone felt that Li Linglan did not bend for money, and had Lan's character.Now that it was revealed that all of this was false, they immediately felt that they had been fooled by the Li family and Li Linglan, and they were even more furious, and the crowd was furious.
The Li family simply played with them as fools, and what was even more annoyed was that they were really fooled.Many of the people who were taken in were the so-called literati and poets. The pens of literati were like knives. In anger, one article after another ruined the Li family to nothing, and Li Linglan was the object of their deep contempt.
Admiring vanity, practicing deceit, scheming, and vicious thoughts.One after another hats were buckled on her body.
She and Liu Weishuang can even run for the women with the worst reputation in Beijing this year.
Speaking of Liu Weishuang, what surprised everyone was the fact that the eldest prince Chu Long asked for her to be his concubine a few days ago.After the secret tangle between the two of them broke out, while Liu Weishuang was despised by everyone, even Chu Long's reputation was also tainted.In everyone's eyes, even someone like Liu Weishuang doesn't dislike him, so how much better would that be?
Chu Long really didn't expect everyone to resist Liu Weishuang so much. Although he felt a little regretful, he gritted his teeth and endured it because of Liu's family's military power and Liu Weishuang's pregnancy.Who made him have no son now!
Perhaps Chu Long should thank Li Linglan, at least Li Linglan's matter diverted everyone's attention.People ran to criticize Li Linglan instead.
……
Because of the abundant evidence, the Li family could only hold their noses and gave Wang Jiacai 1000 taels in the end.For the money, Lord Li Hou had to pawn his beloved fans in exchange for money.
The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and while the Li family was crumbling, Li Houye's official wife, Li Wu, stood up and dealt a heavy blow to the Li family.
Li Wu's previous natal family, Wu's family, was also a so-called honorable family. When she got married, she had a lot of red makeup and a rich dowry.It's just that the Wu family suffered a lot due to the strife in the officialdom a few years ago. Those who demoted officials were demoted, and those who were dismissed were dismissed.The Wu family has plummeted. In addition, the marriage between the daughter and the son is still in the hands of her husband and mother-in-law. Li Wu has no choice but to swallow her anger. Even her husband's family can only use her dowry, for fear that her daughter will be married to a dude. children.
As a dignified official wife, her status in the mansion is far inferior to that of a concubine's room. Who would allow this concubine's room to have the support of her husband and mother-in-law?After all, Aunt Song is the mother-in-law's niece.
Even a few days ago, I heard that many people in the casino were betting on Li Linglan and Su Wan. Under the persuasion of her daughter Li Lingmei, Li Wu promptly sold the dowry and raised 2 taels of silver to put on Su Wan. It turned out to be a big profit a sum.
It can only be said that Li Lingmei is indeed a smart person. From the mouths of the people in the capital, she judged that Su Wan is not as conceited as her concubine sister. She has a reputation for being smart since she was a child, and she was taught by Xueshi Su herself since she was a child.It is impossible for such a person to recklessly fight an uncertain battle, so he persuaded his mother and put the heavy treasure on Su Wan.He also bet out the few thousand taels he had saved since childhood.
After getting back a lot of money now, with money in hand, he naturally has confidence in his heart.
In addition, because of Li Linglan's sake, the Li family's reputation is not known to be bad, and the families who originally agreed to talk about marriage even more shy away from them one by one.
Li Wushi directly took the evidence of the embezzled dowry and ordered them to make it up within three days, or she directly reconciled with the Li family and made the whole capital know about it.At that time, the Li family will still have to make up for the stolen dowry, and everyone in the world knows that the Li family is like this, so no one would be willing to marry a good family over.
The previous hot spring village was bought by the Li family with Li Wu's dowry.
As a nobleman of the Hou family, not only doting on concubines and destroying wives, but also taking dowry, the Li family's reputation will probably be worse than the gutter - although the reputation is bad enough now.
I have to admit that Li Wu's timing of launching the attack was particularly good, and now happened to be the time when the Li family was in a state of distress.
Li Wu also said that she would go to the court to sue the concubine and the concubine for disrespecting the aunt's mother. With such an unfilial hat on, the future of Li Linglan and Li Sihan, the beloved son and daughter of Aunt Song, would be ruined. .
Not to mention continuing to study in the Imperial College, there is no possibility of even getting a fame.
In the eyes of Li Ronghai and Mrs. Li, Li Sihan is rich in education, and they value Li Sihan's future the most, so they are not willing to have such a thing happen.
Seeing Li Wu's tough attitude, it was obvious that he was going all out, so he could only grit his teeth and agree in the end.
They not only promised to return the embezzled money, but also wrote a note, promising not to interfere in the marriage between Li Lingmei and Li Siyu, and only Li Wu's decision.She had endured it all the time before because of the marriage of this pair of children.
In order to prepare the money within three days, the Li family had to bet a lot of land and a store to the Li Wu family.Even the hot spring Zhuangzi paid 4000 taels of silver to Li Wu.They wanted to pay 1 taels, but Li Wu directly sneered: "At that time, the Zhuangzi bought it with 4000 taels from my dowry."
Hearing the threat in Li Wu's words, Li Ronghai could only swallow his anger.
In the end, Li Wu got a hot spring village, [-] mu of fertile land and two shops from the Li family as compensation, all of which she personally selected.
As soon as she changed hands, she recorded the hot spring village, 20 acres of fertile land and a shop in her daughter's name, and gave the rest to her son.No matter how his son Li Siyu was, he was still the legitimate son of the Li family. No matter how unhappy the Li family was, at least 4% of his property would be awarded to him in the end.But the daughter is different, so she naturally wants to leave more money to her daughter.As for the [-] taels of silver she got, on the one hand, she took out [-] taels to manage for her natal family, and let the two children share the rest equally.
Li Siyu has a very good relationship with his younger sister, and the reason why his mother earns so much money is also her sister's suggestion, so naturally he has no opinion on this.Over the years, the embarrassing situation in the mansion made the relationship between mother and son, brother and sister better.All they can rely on is each other.
As for Li Ronghai and Mrs. Li, they couldn't get good from Li Wu's side, and now they have lost the possibility of restricting Li Wu's.They thought that the instigator was Li Linglan. If it wasn't for helping her to make a name for herself, she would marry into the Wen family as Mrs. Hou and support her natal family, how could she be in such an embarrassing state.
The more Li Ronghai thought about it, the angrier he became, completely forgetting that he was very much in favor of this idea at the beginning, and even Wang Jiacai was sent to find out by him.
Li Ronghai also heard that Li Linglan threw cups and things every day. Looking at the bills brought by the servants, Li Ronghai was furious. Take back all the valuables in the house, pawn them, and collect 6000 taels of silver to ease the embarrassment of the book.After all, the land and the store were not available until the end of the year, and the Li family had to survive the remaining eight months.
Aunt Song wanted to intercede for her beloved daughter, but was slapped by Li Ronghai instead—it was because Aunt Song didn't teach the child well.
As far as Li Ronghai is concerned, it is his credit that his son and daughter are promising, and if they do not do well, it is Aunt Song's fault.
Mrs. Li was so angry that her chest hurt because of a large amount of blood in the family, and she didn't feel good when she saw this niece of her natal family.
……
Li Qiu smiled and talked about these things that happened in the Li family, which made Yun Xi and others amazed.
Yun Yao was puzzled and asked: "Why didn't Mrs. Li Wu take the opportunity to take back the right to housekeeper?"
Yun Xi smiled, "She is stupid to take over the mess at this time. The Li family was short of money before. If she ran to the housekeeper, wouldn't she use her dowry to fill the hole? It's better to close the yard tightly and wait Take care of yourself. Now that she has money, and she is not afraid of Li Ronghai, those servants are the most bullying and afraid of toughness. If she relaxes a little bit, she is afraid that the servants will play against the wind and run to curry favor her."
The current housekeeper right is a hot potato.
Yun Yao suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
She frowned and said, "A man who takes a concubine doesn't have a single good thing!" You can tell from Li Ronghai's virtues. He was with his cousin Song Auntie over there, neglecting his wife, pampering his concubine and destroying his wife. After something happened, it was blamed on my cousin.But Aunt Song is not a good person either, it's just right for two dogs to bite dogs.
Li Qiu nodded, "That's very true. The eldest girl of the Li family is also a capable person. She is secretly looking for that kind of lean horse that has been trained to seduce men, and plans to give it to her father."
A hint of admiration flashed in Yun Xi's eyes, "This Li Lingmei is usually not well-known, and she is even said to be a bit cowardly, but in fact she has a deep gap in her chest. Aunt Song is old and decrepit, and now she has a bad relationship with Li Ronghai, if someone knows A smart, young and beautiful woman appears, I am not afraid that Li Ronghai will not take the bait."
"She acted very decisively, and she grasped the timing well. Li Wu's attack this time is probably her daughter's advice. She is also very smart and aware of current affairs. Chance kills with one blow."
Yun Xi didn't think it was wrong for Li Lingmei to plot against her father, she was just doing it for self-protection and revenge.You can't be slapped in the face, and you can lick your face and get another slap.
From her full admiration, she knew that she liked Li Lingmei quite a lot.
Yun Yao sighed and said, "I originally thought I was a smart person even when I was young, but if I were put in that environment, I'm afraid I'd just deal with them simply and rudely."
Yun Xi smiled, "It's good that you are like this. She was also forced out." With her protection, Yun Yao has always maintained an innocent and cheerful personality, Yun Xi thinks this is very good.Anyway, the little girl is usually very clever, and she won't let herself suffer.
Yun Yao made a vicious expression, "If my future husband-in-law dares to take a concubine and empathize with him, I will first drug him, make him inhumane, and make him an end, and then we will make peace with him!"
She made such an expression on her cute little face, and she uttered words that would make all men terrified. The sense of disobedience was unusually strong.
Yun Xi chuckled, but instead praised, "Very well, that's how it should be! Girls from my Du family must have such courage."
……
After learning of what happened to Li Linglan and the others, Yun Xi didn't pay much attention to the Li family.After all, she had to prepare for the opening of the library in early April.
Her library in the capital has a lot more books than in Fenghuang County.After all, some people with good relations also sent their own books for her to print.For example, Tao Huanhuan, after being rescued by Yun Xi, the Tao family copied all the books in their family's collection and gave it to Yun Xi.
The library time was finally set on April [-]th.
The layout is the same as that of the library in Fenghuang County, only bigger, with a size of five acres and three floors.The windows are also made of glass, and the windows are bright and clean.Yun Xi had already found volunteers for a month in advance, and with their help, the opening day was orderly.
The library is not in a busy area, it is about a quarter of an hour away from the hustle and bustle of the market, but there are also some snack shops nearby, so those scholars who visit the door do not have to worry about three meals.
Yun Xi had already released this news before, so many scholars in the capital were looking forward to this library.
On April [-]th, before the library opened, a lot of scholars flocked to the door. They were dressed in brocade clothes, or in coarse cloth and green shirts. They gathered in twos and threes, discussing how many books there would be in the library. collection of books.
Yun Xi was deeply influenced by her previous life. Before opening, she always liked to place flower pots at the door.The flowers she put out were all from her usual flower room. Although she did not bring out the species that she considered precious, each plant was well-raised by her and was very good, which attracted the praise of those scholars.
Someone else said: "I don't think Princess Ming is called Peony Fairy or Orchid Fairy, she's just a flower fairy. No matter what kind of flower, it always seems to be the most beautiful in her hands."
The other disagreed, "Not only flowers, but also other plants are also well maintained. Look at the potted pine and cypress, which is very wild."
The others couldn't help but nodded in agreement, discussing what kind of name they could give Yun Xi.
Amidst the discussions, the library opened on time when it was time for Chen Shi.
Although there were a lot of people gathered at the door, everyone thought they were scholars, so naturally they couldn't do the rude behavior of squeezing in. The team was orderly.
This also relieved the few scholars who were volunteers today. They showed gentle smiles and welcomed these people in. Among them, they saw several acquaintances.
As soon as they walked in, just the counter near the door shocked them greatly.
On the counter, Yun Xi directly placed a pot of Tianyi lotus and a pot of Su Xin Song Jinxuan plum over there, one on the left and one on the right.Each of the two basins has its own unique elegance, and they are not dimmed by the other's brilliance, but are extraordinarily harmonious and harmonious.
One of them asked with a trembling voice, "Is this the rumored Tian Yihe?"
"Is this the pot of Suxin Songmei?"
Wang Xiucai showed a refined smile, and explained to everyone, "This is because Princess Ming considers that her flower house cannot be opened to the outside world, and many people have no chance to see these two pots of flowers, so she simply put them here. If you want to see them in the future , you can come and enjoy it from time to time.”
Wang Xiucai said humorously: "I just hope that everyone will exercise some restraint, and don't let the door be blocked."
Everyone came back to their senses and couldn't help laughing.Now the door is blocked, everyone is here, enjoying the beauty of these two potted flowers. This kind of beauty surpasses everyone's aesthetics.
As a result, many people sighed and went inside step by step, turning their heads three times, making way for the people behind.
"Master Ming's heart is truly extraordinary." Such an orchid, which is worth tens of thousands of dollars, is placed directly in the library, and you are not afraid of being bumped by someone accidentally. This kind of heart is really admirable.
"That's right, it's not like that Li Linglan, who hides it, lest everyone will see it badly."
Just seeing the rows of bookshelves, and the scent of ink lingering in their noses, they couldn't help but cheer up and their eyes lit up.
Wang Xiucai and the others smiled slightly, and introduced the classification of books in each district.
Walking down the whole circle, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There are indeed a lot of books here. After Wang Xiucai and others learned about the method of borrowing books and applying for certificates, everyone couldn't wait to get one.The volunteers in the library are probably busy these days.
The outside world also praised Yunxi's library a lot, thinking that it was a good thing for the country and the people.Just as Yun Xi thought, many aristocratic families can do this, but they are unwilling to contribute their rich collection of books, let alone spend the money.
So he could only watch Yun Xi's reputation get better and better.
……
Yun Xi didn't pay much attention to the turmoil from the outside world, and now she was sorting things out.
Earlier, she opened the calligraphy and paintings that Su Wan gave her, and after inviting Yun Shen to appraise them, she found that they were all authentic copies of ancient monuments.
Among them are some famous poets, painters and calligraphers hundreds of years ago.According to Yun Shen, she made a profit.Orchids may depreciate in value, but the prices of these authentic works will only get higher and higher.
Then he lamented that the Su family's background is so deep that these things can be given away.
Yun Xi then remembered the things she had scavenged at the flea market in the state capital earlier.When she moved to the capital, she brought them along with her, but they kept them in the warehouse and ignored her. After a long time, she even forgot about having these things.
She subconsciously focused her powers on her eyes, and looked at the five calligraphy and paintings that Su Wan gave her. As she expected, these calligraphy and paintings were shrouded in a faint light.
Yun Xi immediately took out all the things she bought, wiped off the dust on them with a silk cloth, and then continued to make Yun Shen work as a coolie.Yun Shen was brought by the Chu Emperor Chu Xiyuan's side since he was a child. The palace has the most good things in the world. He has seen a lot of them. He is much better at connoisseurship than those so-called connoisseurs in the capital.
Yun Shen picked them up one by one, looked at them carefully, and finally divided them into two piles, his eyes were a little complicated, "These are all authentic, this is the copybook written by Master Chaoming, this is Rong Luo's authentic calligraphy and painting, this is Tang Tian's Paradise Street Picture, this is Ming Fei's collection of manuscript poems..." He introduced them to Yun Xi one by one, and explained how to find out that these are authentic works.
At the end, he asked curiously, "Where did you find these?" The works of these few have not been circulated in the world, so their authentic works are even more precious.
So Yun Shen wondered how Yun Xi got it. If there was only one pair, it would be fine, but there were quite a few.
Yun Xi chuckled, her smile revealing a bit of complacency, her expression was playful, "This one, I found it at the flea market!"
The original smile on Yun Shen's face froze, "Impossible!" He frowned subconsciously, "You don't know how to appreciate these, so why did you just pick them out?"
Yun Xi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Well, I choose the one that looks pleasing to the eye. You just tell me how much it is worth, so I can figure it out." If the value is very high, then she will go to the capital city. The second-hand market has picked up the leaks, and the receipt may be bigger.
Yun Shen looked at her money-obsessed appearance, and gritted his teeth helplessly, "You are not allowed to sell these, these are good things with a price but no market."
"This one is 3000 taels, and this one is 1 taels. Master Chaoming is the most famous eminent monk in the past thousand years, and the copybooks he wrote are worth at least 2 taels..." Yun Shen introduced them one by one.
Yun Xi quickly calculated each of the things he said, and was very satisfied to find that these things add up to at least 10 taels, and picking up leaks is simply a good way to make a fortune!No, she has to find some time to pick up the leak again.
What the Du family lacked the most were these things.
She suddenly remembered that Yunyao also bought a fairy boy's woodcarving before. After buying it, Yunyao liked it very much, so she often played with it in her hands. look.
After Yun Shen looked at it, he was completely speechless to the pair of cousins. If the news got out, how many people in the world would envy and hate the two of them, "This is also a wood carving carved by Master Chaoming." He took a look With Yun Xi's expression on her face, she added, "Well, it can be sold for at least 1 taels."
Yun Xi was instantly satisfied, and asked Yin Dan to tell Yun Yao the good news by the way.
Yun Xi looked at the few things that Yun Shen picked out, "Aren't these useless?" Among them was the Duan Inkstone that she specially picked out at that time.
Yun Shen said casually: "I don't see which famous artist's work it is."
Yun Xi blinked, took the inkstone in her hand, shook it a few times, and said suspiciously: "I always feel that it's weird to hold this thing in my hand." It feels like the center of gravity is wrong.
Her heart suddenly moved, and she looked at the inkstone thoughtfully.
"what happened?"
Yun Xi blinked and said, "I just think I can peel off the outermost part to have a look."
After all, she believed in her abilities more, and did not believe that the Duan Inkstone, which was shining in her eyes, was worthless.Anyway, when this thing was sold, it didn't cost much money, and she didn't feel bad if it was really destroyed.
Well, one must be content.It should be enough to find so many authentic works.
Yun Xi, who was full of mobility, directly took out her dagger and began to strike.
The corner of Yun Shen's mouth twitched as he watched this scene—should he say that Yun Xi really is someone who does not follow the usual path?
Originally, Yun Xi thought it would be better to knock for a while, but who knew that the outermost stone seemed to have been casted by some magic, and the stones fell all over the ground, revealing the true face inside - it was a black ink block , the color is so thick and black that it is very pure, and even has a warm feeling.
Yun Xi tapped some ink sticks, unexpectedly, the touch was smooth, and did not leave any marks on her hands.Without Yun Shen's introduction, Yun Xi knew that this must be a good thing.
Yun Shen was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
He sighed, "I never thought I would be blind. It's a clever idea to hide the ink in the stone and make the stone into a Duan inkstone."
Yun Xi smiled at him triumphantly, "What is this?"
Yun Shen said, "This is Immortal ink."
Yun Xi had never heard of this name before, and suddenly felt like a turtle, "What fairy ink?"
Yun Shen's tone was a bit sad, how many people's dreams were so easily obtained by Yun Xi - but she still didn't know anything about it, if those fans of Immortal Mo knew about it, they would probably vomit a mouthful of blood .
"Immortal ink is only suitable for immortals. It is said that it was found in an extremely cold place. It is lubricated and does not leave any ink marks. It melts in water, and it can be used without even grinding the ink. The ink is no matter what. The paper can be swiped freely, and the remaining ink remains like yesterday even after a thousand years, and the ink fragrance lingers, it is the legendary ink.”
Yun Xi understood, and asked the question she was most concerned about, "Is it priceless? How much can it be sold for?"
Yun Shen almost vomited blood, "This thing cannot be sold."
Yun Xi sighed, "I'm just asking, I'm curious."
Looking at her nonchalant attitude, Yun Shen felt that it was annoying, "I had a piece of fairy ink earlier, it was about half the size of the one you have, and it sold for 20 taels of silver."
Yun Xi immediately felt refreshed.Then she has at least 40 taels of silver on hand.
Seeing Yun Shen's rare gaffe, she couldn't help but chuckle in the end.She put the ink in Yunshen's hand, with a slight smile on her face, "I'll give this to you."
Her gentle smile eclipsed the many blooming flowers planted in the garden.
It was rare for Yun Xi to see Yun Shen's directly dull expression, and she was overjoyed, and the smile on her face deepened, "Come on, at least give me a smile, this is considered a beautiful smile, and it cost ten thousand gold, right?"
After Yun Shen's initial daze, a faint smile appeared on his lips, as if the snow and ice melted and a hundred flowers bloomed.
Yun Xi felt that even if 10 taels were placed in front of her, it would not be worth his smile.At this moment, she even somewhat understood that those foolish kings who smiled for the Bomei people and played with the princes.It seems that she also has the potential to be a fool.
Before such beauty, 100 million taels is cheap.
After appreciating it, she stuffed one of the books into Yun Meiren's hands, and spared no effort to squeeze out his remaining value, "Come, help me read this book, don't miss it again."
Yun Shen: "..."
Hunjun Yunxi, beauty Yunshen, very good and powerful!
