The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 118

As soon as Li Ai said this, the face of the shopkeeper changed color again, with a somewhat uncertain smell, and seemed a little hesitant about what to do.

Qi Chi’s expression was also very ugly, and there was even a hint of hostility towards Li Ai.

Su Yi’s thoughts turned, and said: “This is yours?”

Qi Chi was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: “Let the heavenly master laugh.”

Originally, I just wanted to take Su Yi to take a look at my own property. If I liked something, I just took it away. In the end, who knew that such a thing would happen? The face was ashamed.

Qi Chi is not surprised that Su Yi sees through his purpose. In his opinion, everything in the aristocratic family is in Suyi’s insight, and it only depends on whether Su Tianshi wants to know.

But because he was too angry, Qi Chi accidentally called the wrong name.

Fortunately, Qi Chi’s voice was very small, and the attendants who were responsible for protecting the two of him were insiders, so he didn’t cause any trouble.

It’s just that Li Ai glanced here in surprise.

Su Yi was stunned for a moment. This guy has some good ears, or did he notice it when Qi Chi entered the door?

It is possible. There was a conflict in the shop, and the rest of the guests were persuaded to leave by the shop’s junior. Only a few of them stayed here. At first glance, they were not ordinary people. If he were Li Ai, he would definitely be attentive here.

But Li Ai’s ears are really good.

Su Yi hesitated slightly in his heart. Although he likes to watch the excitement, he doesn’t like the excitement to find himself. Besides, his status is now more and more different. Other than that, if someone shouted “Tianshi Su” at the entrance of the store, it is estimated that the entrance would be crowded with people immediately.

This is nothing, anyway, there would be no such fools deliberately punish him. It’s just that in the image of his superior, if he is not present, he personally encountered a “fighting counterfeit”, and the look of Qi Chi beside him clearly showed that this shop has something to do with him. If he left like this, would it damage the moral image of a superior man?

Su Yi glanced at Qi Chi, and Qi Chi immediately broke into a cold sweat. He felt that Su Yi saw that he wanted to suppress people’s minds with power. Although Li Qiongfang has some literary names, he has some local fame, and that fame is due to his teacher and friends. As far as Li Ai is concerned, he is not really jealous.

It’s not that Li Ai has no talents, but that he is not a family and no one in the family is an official.

For example, Xie Chun is talented, attached to the royal family, and there are officials in the family, so even if he is not a clan, he is still respected by some people.

No matter how Qi Chi was at Su Yi, he was like a star chaser seeing a star, even his head became a ball of mud, but he was a family member after all. Even if it is a concubine, but under the premise that there is no concubine in the family, his future is unlikely to be bad. Even if the family resources will not tilt him, his father’s resources will always be given to him, so Qi Chi also has the inherent arrogance of the family.

What if Li Ai is right? Isn’t it just a provocation to interrupt his business? If you really can’t accept that the fakes you copied are sold as genuine ones, you will leak one or two to Kong Yan. Kong Yan wrote to the Qi family to explain that the Qi family still can’t bear this little silver, and sell fakes to cheat people?

To put it bluntly, Qi Chi just looked down on Li Ai.

But he also knew that his mind was not righteous, so Su Yi took a look, he immediately let go of his mind, thinking in his heart, even if he loses some face, he must save his impression in front of the celestial master.

Before Qi Chi could take any action, Su Yi had already walked up. He is now dressed in a green shirt, not a Taoist priest, nor a celebrity, but rather like a Confucian scholar who obeys the rules.

When the shopkeeper saw Su Yi coming over, even though he didn’t know who Su Yi was, he still obediently painted Su Yi.

He doesn’t know Su Yi, or Qi Chi? If you are a treasurer, even if you are not qualified to meet your own group of princes and buddies, you still have to take a peek and remember the face of your family. Otherwise, if you deceive others and deceive your family, it will be injustice.

The shopkeeper was suddenly calm just now, and also recognized Qi Chi’s identity.

Although this Confucian student dresses simply, but Qi Chi looks like he is the mainstay, and of course the shopkeeper respects him.

Although Su Yi had seen a lot of calligraphy and painting, he could barely tell the good from the bad, but if he really wanted him to tell the truth, he really couldn’t tell.

And although paper has appeared now, the papermaking process is not high, and the rice paper commonly used in Chinese painting in later generations has not yet been invented.

Because of the crude paper, the painting has changed hands several times, and the picture is somewhat worn out.

Su Yi really didn’t know why this thing would be sought after. Well, this is probably the difference between liberal arts students and science students.

Su Yi put down the picture scroll, organized the language, and said: “Although I don’t understand calligraphy and painting, although the paintings of Jushi Xiaolin are wanton, but the depression and depression in the wanton make me feel a little moved. Although these words are also depressing, but Unwilling is heavier than depression.”

Thanks to Mu Yan, in order to make him act reasonably, he analyzed the past of the dead and alive celebrities near Qingzhou so as not to make his eyes dark.

Although Lay Xiaolin is arrogant, he himself is a tragedy. He is somewhat similar to Li Ai, both are talented people of profane background, and they have also made a name.

If it were today, perhaps Lay Xiaolin was still alive, and if he prayed for his career, he would probably be satisfied. It’s a pity that avoiding war in the mountains and forests, um, yes, all reclusiveness is bullshit. It’s just to avoid the war. Lay Xiaolin was impoverished, and he died shortly after the world stabilized.

After the death of Lay Xiaolin, his reputation became even stronger, and his calligraphy and painting were also admired. Even avoiding wars was glorified as indulging in landscapes. This is similar to Van Gogh.

When he was young, Lay Xiaolin once brought his own articles many times to visit the rich family, hoping to be favored by others.

In Mu Yan’s view, there are unknown and bad objects in the heads of the separatists in this piece of land, and they don’t need any capable people. After he broke through Qingzhou, he went to look for local celebrities, and the celebrities went into hiding.

They are afraid of being liquidated.

This is also normal, and when the court’s rule is stabilized, it will change. It’s a pity that Lay Xiaolin didn’t wait for this day.

After viewing the calligraphy and paintings and articles of Lay Lin, Mu Yan was quite regretful, so he sighed when he saw Li Ai that day.

Su Yi, without the ability to infer the talent and morals of a person from calligraphy, painting and articles, but he trusted Mu Yan’s judgment. So now Huyouren, without hesitation, moved out Mu Yan’s words intact.

If someone else said this, Li Ai would definitely have to smile and type a few haha ​​to protect his teacher and himself, but he inadvertently heard the young man call this young man a heavenly teacher, and Li Ai didn’t know how to answer.

Regardless of the magic of Su Yi’s reputation, Su Yi’s talent is also praised by the great scholars and scholars of the great master level in Beijing. When Su Yi pointed out the true meaning in the painting, Li Ai felt that if the teacher was there, tears would well flow in his eyes.

It should be said that even if Li Ai didn’t think much about this painting, but Su Yi clicked it, he felt that there must be some emotion in his painting.

“However, Lay Xiaolin doesn’t treat people from time to time, why are you upset?” Su Yi learned from Mu Yan’s gentle smile, and said, “Be upset, after some hard work. If other obstacles overwhelm your ideals of yourself The pursuit of the future, please calmly and accept it. This is your own decision.”

This was also what Mu Yan analyzed and sighed when he was eating grilled squid. Su Yi would not think about it so much. He was not familiar with Li Ai, and it was not a pity.

After Su Yi finished speaking, he wanted to buy the painting immediately, but listening to the price of the painting, he didn’t have many silver coins. This cheating ancient times, even the silver bills have not even appeared, who would carry such a heavy amount of money at any time, even if it is a silver coin, it is too heavy to hold a few hundred.

But Su Yi forced it to be installed here, so naturally it has to be installed. Although someone paid, Mu Yan still stuffed a money bag when he went out, just in case. Su Yi took out the purse, put it on the counter, and said, “The money is definitely not enough, so let’s pay the deposit first.”

When Su Yi spoke, Qi Chi entered a **** state, which made him miss the opportunity to pay the bill. Now he finally came back to his senses and said: “I should pay the money.”

Qi Chi said solemnly: “Our shop is not a counterfeit, but I have never checked it. Brother Li, can I cut off this painting? I will hang this painting in the shop as a warning.”

Li Ai disregarded Qi Chi’s pretentious and noble appearance, and only asked Su Yi: “What would happen if Jun bought calligraphy and painting?”

Su Yi said indifferently: “It’s burned.”

Qi Chi suddenly looked at his idol, what is the reason?

Li Ai asked: “Why?”

Su Yi said: “Looking at the heart.”

Li Ai asked again: “Because it is a fake?”

Su Yi looked at the painting for a while, and said, “Because the artistic conception in this painting looks blocked.”

Li Ai bowed his head and said, “Is the artistic conception inferior, so that people are not ashamed of the painter?”

Su Yi said: “It’s not that. It’s just that I have seen a lot of suffering, and I prefer to see something happier. If you have a free and easy painting, or a resolute painting, it will feel at ease when you look at it.”

Li Ai said, “I’ve bothered you for so long, and I’ve been rude to Xia. Xia Xia only asks the last question. Why do you want to say this to Xia Xia?”

Su Yidao, because he was bumped into, he didn’t come out to pretend that he seemed to have flaws in his character.

“Because I have seen the paintings of Lay Xiaolin, I feel depressed, and I feel a little regretful.” Su Yi sighed, his gaze looked out the window and said.

At this time, Su Yi wanted to make a poem and click the title to sublimate and force the style. But at this time, his head, which was already low in stock, was completely short-circuited, and he couldn’t think of a poem to suit the occasion.

Oops, I’m really anxious to death.

While Su Yi was racking his brains, in the eyes of others, Master Su’s words had gone through the vicissitudes of life, and after seeing all the joys and sorrows, they had achieved results.

Since Su Yi’s reputation came out, the little shrimp like this flicker can be easily captured without any effort.

Li Ai slowly lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground, and solemnly kowtow to Su Yi: “Thank you, Master.”

Thanks for what? Xie for your point, or Xie for the teacher’s recognition?

Or both.

This is the end of the matter. Of course, Su Yi bought this painting. The store directly sold it to Su Yi for a copper coin, but Su Yi shook his head and said, “Less.”

The celestial master pretends to be forced, how can the rest of the people interrupt? So the shopkeeper accepted Su Yi’s wallet as a collateral under Qi Chi’s instruction. As for the subsequent money, if the money is not returned, it will be said otherwise.

In fact, there is nothing else to talk about. Of course Su Yi will give the money, but Mu Yan will give the money. He always felt that he was short on other people’s money, so he refused Qi Chi to pay the bill. But Mu Yan’s money, he did not have the slightest psychological burden.

He was the one who created a lot of small money for Mu Yan, and of course he did not have a psychological burden to spend Mu Yan’s money.

Not to mention that after Su Yi burned the painting, he felt that the excitement was enough for today, and it was getting late, so he went home early. It just said that after Li Ai went back, he didn’t tell anyone that he happened to encounter Su Tianshi.

Li Ai is used to going shopping without an attendant. If he doesn’t say anything, no one knows. As for the store, Qi family worry about it.

Li Ai shut himself in the door for a whole day, because everyone knew that he was a good drinker, just because he drank too much and was not awake, and did not disturb him.

When Li Ai left the door for the second time, the decadence on her body seemed to be heavier. He was confused and didn’t know what to do.

Li Ai once wanted to walk among the clans and seek promotion opportunities, but because of the conscious Qingzhou tycoons, who were not stupid and incapable, he gave up.

Li Ai also thought about getting promoted through the imperial examination. But he was strongly opposed by his family. Although the Li family is not a clan, it has the heart of an old clan. When the emperor changed arbitrarily, he changed the ancestral decrees.

It is the right way to become an official through the recommendation of the family. It is really insulting to let scholars win the exam like a cockfight.

If Su Yi heard this, he would be very surprised, wondering what the **** it was. But at this time, there are still many scholars who have this idea.

Both of Li Ai’s parents died, and he was raised by his grandfather. He was extremely filial to his grandfather, and his grandfather paid a lot of resources for his study tour, so he could not disobey his grandfather.

Although Su Yi pointed out his confusion, there was no solution.

Perhaps, only the world can heal everything.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Su Yi thought that with his own mouth, Li Ai had been smoothly moved, so that Li Ai would actively jump into Mu Yan’s bowl. He had succeeded every time he fooled people before.

Therefore, when Su Yi returned home, he deliberately showed off to Mu Yan, saying that Li Ai would take the initiative to jump into his bowl, let him wait for a living, and asked for reimbursement by the way.

Mu Yan joked with him, saying that if Li Ai really came to the door, she would be reimbursed.

Su Yi’s gambling **** also came, so he paid for it himself, really betting with Mu Yan.

As a result, within a few days, he got the news that Li Ai left his friend Kong Yan here alone and returned home alone.

Su Yi was stunned. This script is not quite right, his all-inclusive flicker aura has failed!

This is really terrible. Su Yi feels that she has had poor luck recently, so she should go out less.

As for money… If you lose, you lose. Anyway, it’s not that you can’t afford to lose. Su Yi was also a rich kid anyhow. He spent a lot of money to listen to a sound, burned and watched the fire, but it was not that he had never done it.

Although this kind of stupid behavior, he never did it after he became an adult.

Mu Yan didn’t expect that someone could resist the charm of accommodation. Although he knew about Li Ai’s family affairs, Li Ai could take refuge in him first, and then take the scientific expedition under his order. He can give Li Ai what he wants even without taking the scientific examination, as long as Li Ai is really talented.

Isn’t this in line with Li Ai’s grandfather’s expectation? Then why did Li Ai leave?

Mu Yan thought about it for a long time, and realized that Su Yi’s charm has not failed, but the result after success is not what he expected.

When Li Ai came to Qingzhou, she really hoped to recommend herself to Mu Yan. But after meeting Su Yi, Su Yi said that he couldn’t fight hard, so he was so awkward that he was really big-faced (Su Yi: Actually I didn’t mean that…), Li Ai’s mentality changed.

He thought that Su Yi was insinuating, saying that he did not dare to compete with scholars in the world, thinking about taking refuge in others.

Inferior to Li Ai’s promenade children all participated in the imperial examination, some failed, and some had already gone to the capital. Li Ai thinks that he is more talented than these people, so why doesn’t he dare to fight for it once?

I heard that many officials and children in the capital, and even the children of aristocratic families, participated in the imperial examinations to verify what they had learned. As for the clan celebrities, they are countless. What kind of face does he have? Before starting to compete, he brazenly said to Mu Yan that he is very talented?

Li Ai was so ashamed, so he went home, leaving his friends confused. It was too elusive to tell his friend’s mind.

After Su Yi heard this, she felt very guilty. He seems to have done something bad with good intentions, hope it won’t affect Li Ai’s life, right?

“If this affects, then there is no need to use him.” Mu Yan said, “If he can withstand the pressure at home, then I will take a high look at him.”

Su Yi sighed.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Li Ai’s incident was just an episode, but after this episode, somehow, the rest of the people stopped submitting posts to Mu Yan requesting to meet.

After Mu Yan inquired, he found out that although Li Ai was a prostitute, he was only famous. Even he couldn’t pass Mu Yan’s level. He went back to his hometown in disgrace, and the rest of the people hesitated to insult themselves.

Su Yi was even more guilty, and Mu Yan advised him that if these people didn’t even have such arrogance, he would be thrown aside by the meeting and wouldn’t use it.

Seeing that Su Yi was not in a good mood, Mu Yan diverted his attention and read to him the booklet he had written to the emperor.

As mentioned earlier, Su Yi forgot about cement, and may be scolded by His Majesty the Emperor. Mu Yan wrote a zhezi to cover up the matter for Su Yi.

In Mu Yan’s post, of course he would not say that Su Yi knew the recipe for cement a long time ago, but after learning about the embarrassment of the steel furnace, he has been thinking about how to make it more usable, more convenient and cheaper. Things to replace stone.

Su Yi didn’t disclose this matter before, naturally because it was unsuccessful.

Now Su Yi came to Qingzhou, used the construction of the salt field as an experiment, made up the formula, and finally came up with this “cement”, dedicated to his majesty.

Mu Yan’s post was sincere and logical, and the image of Master Su was so radiant that Su Yi was moved when she saw it.

“Your Majesty will believe it?” Su Yi hesitated.

Mu Yan said: “Your Majesty will believe it.”

Because no one thinks that Su Yi will be stupid enough to forget such an important thing. Mu Yan sighed in her heart.

With Mu Yan’s guarantee, Su Yi relaxed a little.

Soon after, the emperor’s answer arrived. Sure enough, as Mu Yan said, the emperor believed it all.

The emperor was very moved and rewarded Su Yi with a lot of things, which was of great use.

Su Yi was completely relieved. Just fool around.

However, the emperor’s second secret decree was not very pleasing. He actually wanted to throw the second prince over. The emperor called him to take the lead. Whether it was a salt farm or a cement, no one would watch.

Although that was the case, Su Yi was nothing but Mu Yan didn’t like it very much. Because Na Yi Ran seemed to be deliberately targeting Mu Yan, he especially liked to come out when Mu Yan and Su Yi were alone, and would deliberately smile at him provocatively.

God knows how he provoked the second prince.

However, the emperor’s will, Mu Yan, cannot be violated, and there is indeed a prince sitting in charge. His next thing may be much smoother.

The premise is that Yi Ran is willing to cooperate obediently.

Su Yi said: “I think you have a certain prejudice against the second prince. What did I not see him for?”

In Su Yi’s eyes, both the prince and Yi Ran were his good brothers. Although Yi Ran is no match for the prince, he still has a good impression of Yi Ran.

“I think it was him who targeted me.” Mu Yan said in a bad mood.

Su Yi said: “It’s fine, I don’t expect you to get along well, but it is enough if you don’t make mistakes in official affairs.”

It seemed strange just to say this from his mouth.

The matter of cement has spread to a lot of people among the family in Beijing. His Majesty the emperor said that he had a dream one day when he dreamed that an ancient sage gave him a cement prescription.

Of course people with a little brain can’t believe it. His Majesty the Emperor just made an excuse at will, he himself didn’t bother to hide it.

Anyway, something novel came out, no matter how much he concealed it, everyone would still put it on Su Yi’s head.

Although it is true.

In the capital, Su Tianshi’s reputation has risen to a new level.

Due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, this matter has not yet reached Qingzhou, but Qingzhou is not ignorant of cement. Even the cement matter is more mysterious.

Su Yi didn’t expect those craftsmen not to leak their mouths. After all, those craftsmen were recruited local salt workers, and they were more rigorous than a place where only craftsmen were selected, such as shipbuilding workshops and glass-making workshops.

Su Yi was very calm. It’s okay for these things to go out, not to mention that it is impossible for others to restore his technology, even if it is restored, it is not a bad thing. We all make technological progress together.

It’s just that he didn’t expect how shocking what he did in the eyes of these low-level people who didn’t know how to write. Today it is still mud, and tomorrow it will become stone, which is comparable to a miracle.

After these artisans leaked their mouths, the folks processed the rumors, making Suyi’s use of cement to build a dam even more mysterious.

Su Tianshi suddenly jumped into the sky and got up, after the golden light closed his eyes and emptied his eyes, he pointed to the vicissitudes of life in an instant…

Su Yi: That’s enough, the people in Qingzhou have more imagination than the people in Beijing!
