Chapter 41: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet and the Wind Doesn't Stop
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection)
After chatting for so long, several people felt a little hungry, looking at the sky, it was already noon, but Zhu Lizhi had no consciousness at all to set up a banquet to entertain them, fortunately, Xu Jirong and Liu Xinmou were not polite masters, and directly ordered their subordinates to get some wine and food, which made Zhu Lizhi look disgusted, these three guys who rubbed rice.
However, Xu Jirong and Liu Xinmou have long been used to it, and a brother is here to eat, what can you do.
During the banquet, Guo Dan told them some of the renovation plans of Hanyulou, in fact, he told them to work, especially Xu Jirong, don't always run to disturb his leisurely life.
But he doesn't want to do any spring palace painting, that thing is too vulgar, he wants to engage in art, that is, body painting, to show the beauty of the human body, but he is an extremely ugly capitalist in the end, how can there be such a great temperament, he is just using some ideas of "Renaissance" to package his "playboy".
In fact, no matter what happens, in his eyes, there is only the difference between making money and not making money, and if he comes up with an idea, he is running for money, and he will not do anything else.
After eating, Guo Dan picked up the charcoal pen again, and while drawing, he taught Zhu Lizhi some basic knowledge of body painting.
In fact, he is really not very good at art, he has only studied for half a year, whether he has reached the entry level, he has to say two things, he just told Zhu Lizhi everything he knew anyway, in a short period of time, he has no reservations.
Fortunately, Zhu Lizhi has a very high talent in this area, and he has always been painting people, so many of the skills are easy to understand, in fact, when he watched it before, he had already understood some of them. The only thing he took the initiative to ask during this period was the question about the shadow plane, and today's portraits are very lacking in three-dimensionality, which is a very key skill, and this shadow surface contains some geometric knowledge, which is Guo Dan's strength, which he explained very thoroughly.
......
"It's getting late, I have to go back."
Guo Dan said slightly tiredly.
Xu Jirong immediately said: "If it's still early today, it's not dark yet, play for a while." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Just keep playing, I really have to go back." ”
Xu Jirong felt a little disappointed, but he didn't force Guo Dan, after all, Guo Dan had already made a big effort today, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let the carriage send you back." ”
"Thank you."
"I'll send you."
Liu Xinmou suddenly stood up and said.
Guo Dan glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "I am a little child, how dare I send Liu Gongzi away." ”
Liu Xinmou said: "It doesn't matter if you are a child or a showman, this is a guest, and my brother has never understood etiquette, only I am my brother's agent, please." ”
Zhu Lizhi rolled his eyes slightly, but he never defended it, because it was a fact.
Guo Dan arched his hand and said: "Then there is labor." ”
Out of the front yard, Liu Xinmou suddenly sighed and said: "In vain, I Liu Xinmou is known as Bai Xiaosheng in the capital, but I didn't find that there is such a powerful person hidden under my nose, I really deserve this title." ”
"How much money you want, just say it." Guo smiled lightly.
Liu Xinmou's eyes lit up, and he said: "A smart person is a smart person, it's refreshing enough, for the sake of your acquaintance with my brother Rong, it's five hundred taels, you take five hundred taels out, I promise not to say it." "I am secretly proud in my heart, just now you kid teased me, this time I have to knock you on a bamboo pole to let you know my Bai Xiaosheng's methods.
"It's only five hundred taels?" The corners of Guo Dan's mouth lifted and said, "You are too subtle." ”
Liu Xinmou was surprised: "Isn't it that you are too little?" ”
Guo said lightly: "At least 10,000 taels, this is in line with the value of this secret, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to close your mouth." ”
"Ten thousand taels?"
Liu Xinmou almost didn't bite his tongue.
Guo Dan nodded.
Liu Xinmou was suspicious: "You have so much money? ”
"Nope."
"Then you still say 10,000 taels?"
"Because I won't give you a penny, of course I will say higher, so that I don't have to give money, and I can increase my worth, why not." Guo Dan shrugged and said.
Liu Xinmou's expression froze, and he sneered: "Although I don't know why you are hiding your ability, but since you want to conceal it, you must have a plan, aren't you afraid that I will say it." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "You just say it, I don't care, the result of what you say is nothing more than outsiders praising me for not only being handsome and chic, but also extremely smart and resourceful. ”
Liu Xinmou blinked, a little confused, this blackmail sounds a little outrageous!
Guo Dan continued: "For the sake of your acquaintance with the little uncle, I kindly advise you, and before you go out, go and ask the uncle about his old man." ”
"Uncle?"
Liu Xinmou took a breath of cold air, "The difficult thing is the uncle'......." ”
Guo Dan showed a charming smile and said: "Oh, also, there is no free lunch in this world, borrowing money today is just for you to take off your clothes, and ...... next time." ”
He suddenly leaned back and glanced at it slightly.
Liu Xinmou was so frightened that he covered the chrysanthemum with both hands, and said in fear: "What do you want to do?" ”
Guo smiled lightly and walked straight to the door.
Liu Xinmou stood in place and was speechless, his thoughts were a little messy, who was blackmailing whom!
When I returned to the courtyard, I saw a group of servants frantically mopping the floor, while Zhu Lizhi was supervising on the side. Xu Jirong sat in front of the painting and looked at Silly Music.
Liu Xinmou quietly came to Xu Jirong's side and said, "Brother Rong." ”
Xu Jirong turned his head and looked: "Scheme, why did you come back?" ”
Liu Xinmou said tentatively: "Let me ask you, you have a dispute with Li Shouqi about the field, but Guo Dan can help?" ”
Xu Jirong's expression changed, and he said cautiously: "Who told you this?" ”
Liu Xinmou pretended to be relaxed and said: "Who else needs to say this, when Guo Dan was talking about Hanyulou, he had already shown his talent in this area, and he had already admitted it." ”
Xu Jirong hurriedly said: "You can't say it!" ”
"Why?"
"I don't know, but my grandfather told me not to say it, otherwise I will be locked up for three months."
"I see." Liu Xinmou nodded slightly, convinced of Guo Dan's words, and couldn't help scratching his buttocks.
......
Speaking of this land dispute, Li Shouqian really planted a big heel, and he has never gone out so far, because he doesn't have to go out, and he knows how people outside are laughing at him.
In fact, now outsiders think that Sun Buyan and Xu Jirong joined forces and cheated Li Shouqi.
It's very embarrassing.
thinks he's smart, but he knows that he is the object of the pit, and he received so many "praises" before he was lost.
Nested at home, the anger in his stomach is getting stronger and stronger.
"Young Master Qiyu, Liu Chengbian asks to see you."
"Liu Chengbian?"
Li Shouqi frowned slightly, and said, "What is he doing here?" ”
The servant replied, "I said that I had something important to discuss with the young master." ”
"Something important?"
Li Shouqi frowned and said, "Let him in." ”
After a while, Liu Chengbian came to the lobby and bowed: "Liu Chengbian has seen the eldest prince." ”
"No courtesy. Brother Liu, please take a seat. ”
Li Shouqi pulled his hand to the side.
"Thank you."
After Liu Chengbian sat down, Li Shouqi asked, "Why are you here with me?" ”
Liu Chengbian said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest prince has not gone out for many days, and I am worried that the eldest prince is ill, so I came to visit." ”
Li Shouqi's face changed, and he sneered: "When did you and I have such a friendship, how can I not know?" ”
"Friendships can be built slowly." Liu Chengbian smiled slightly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Actually, I know that the reason why the eldest prince has not gone out for a long time is actually because of the sale of fields with Uncle Xu, but unfortunately, the eldest prince, you blame the wrong person." ”
Li Shouqi frowned and said, "Where do you start with this?" ”
Liu Chengbian said: "What kind of person Sun Buyan is, I know very well, how can he have the courage to dare to tease the eldest son, even if it is secretly instructed by Uncle Xu, then why doesn't Uncle Xu come forward to call the shots for Sun Buyan." ”
Li Shouqi's eyes widened, and he suddenly came to his senses, and immediately asked, "Do you know who is behind the ghost?" ”
Liu Chengbian nodded and said, "It's the Kou family." ”
"The Kou family?"
Li Shouqi frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "I have no grievances with the Kou family, why did he help Xu Jirong to deal with me, and they, like your Liu family, have never made this kind of money." ”
Liu Chengbian said with a smile: "The eldest prince only knows one thing, but I don't know the other, the Kou family helps Uncle Xu, the purpose is not to earn this commission, but to befriend Uncle Xu, hoping that Uncle Xu can hand over the business of the winery to their Kou family to take care of." ”
Li Shouqi said: "Do you have evidence? ”
Liu Chengbian said: "The evidence is that Xing'anbo has handed over the sale of the winery to the Kou family. As we all know, the strength of our Liu family is far better than that of the Kou family, and Xing'anbo also planned to hand over the winery to our Liu family before, but it was Uncle Xu who strongly requested to give it to the Kou family, and Xing'anbo changed his mind. If the eldest prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone out to inquire. ”
When Li Shouqi heard this, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and his hands suddenly clenched the armrest, suddenly, he glanced at Liu Chengbian, let go of his hand, and sighed: "Even if this is the case, I have no choice, if I go to take revenge on the Kou family, then the Xu family will not sit idly by, alas... This time I'm convinced! ”
Liu Chengbian said with a smile: "The eldest prince is a smart person, Chengbian does not dare to have anything to hide in front of the eldest prince, Chengbian came this time, mainly to cooperate with the eldest prince." ”
Li Shouqi said: "Cooperation? What to work with? ”
"Sell liquor."
Liu Cheng said: "Xing'anbo took the initiative to find cooperation with Yaxing this time, and there will definitely be a big move at that time, and your mansion has always been brewing and selling wine, if Xing'anbo succeeds, then it must not be a good thing for your mansion, of course, if the Kou family succeeds, it will not be a good thing for our Liu family, so our Liu family hopes to cooperate with your mansion to fight against them together." ”
Li Shouqi thought for a while and said, "Last time I went back to Chen Lou, your Liu family lost very badly. ”
Liu Chengbian nodded and said: "The eldest prince is right, I did lose badly last time, and I don't want to make any excuses for this, but this time is different, this time it is the strength, with our Liu family's connections, as well as many years of experience in the tooth industry, plus your mansion, and the other five major wineries, it is impossible for us to lose this time." ”
Li Shouqi was surprised: "The other five major wineries? ”
Liu Chengbian sighed: "I forgot to tell the eldest prince, before this, we have contacted the five major wineries, they are all deeply dissatisfied with Xing'anbo's actions, although the share of this wine is not written in black and white, but everyone knows in their hearts, now Xing'anbo is trying to change, then his family sells more wine, and others will inevitably sell less, so they agreed to cooperate with our tooth shop." ”
Li Shouqi groaned a little, suddenly laughed, and said, "Someone! Serve wine, I want to have a few drinks with Brother Liu. ”
