The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei
Chapter 73 The talent of poetry
Li Shixian held the promissory note of Huitong Money House worth one thousand strings of cash given by Lian Xi. Although he was shocked, he recovered in an instant.
After all, she is a woman of the world. Although one thousand strings of cash is indeed a lot, with her means, this amount of money is nothing to her.
Since Laigu County is currently Xie Tingwen's territory, it is naturally inconvenient for her to rob the rich and help the poor. She had no choice but to paint a painting of "Snowy Journey in Songshan" to sell.
Apart from Lian Xi's matter-of-fact look, Li Shixian's expression was relatively calm, while the shopkeeper's face was full of horror.
The promissory note of Huitong Money House is much more valuable than the "Travel in Snow on Songshan". After all, that seemingly "ordinary" piece of paper is not circulated in the market at all.
Seeing the two people about to leave, the shopkeeper stepped forward to block the door and leaned over to say, "My lady! Although I have no honor to see this "Snowy Journey in Songshan", I wonder if you can exchange this bill for me?"
Li Shixian raised her eyebrows when she heard that and subconsciously looked at Lian Xi beside her. After all, she didn't know whether she should exchange with the other party.
Lian Xi naturally saw Li Shixian's doubts and replied with a smile: "Miss Li! Since this bill is already yours, it's up to you to change it or not. It's up to you to decide."
The shopkeeper looked delighted and rubbed his hands as he looked at Li Shixian. His flattering expression made Li Shixian feel uncomfortable.
"Shopkeeper! Change one copper coin and the rest into silver notes. Is that ok?"
"No problem, no problem." The shopkeeper agreed.
In order to prevent Li Shixian from going back on his word, the shopkeeper quickly walked behind the counter and after some digging, he found a copper coin and four or five silver bills.
"Girl! Please nod."
Li Shixian took the copper coins, weighed them briefly and knew what was going on. He then glanced at the silver note and stuffed it into his purse.
"Shopkeeper! The payment has been made. Sorry that I cannot stay any longer." Li Shixian bowed and led Lian Xi out of Guanshan Bookstore quickly.
Until this moment, the waiter who had been hiding aside dared to show up and walked slowly towards the dazed shopkeeper at the door.
He glanced at the promissory note in the shopkeeper's hand and said worriedly, "Shopkeeper! Why don't you check this promissory note? It's worth one thousand strings of cash!"
The shopkeeper suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, and took the promissory note into his arms with a smile. Looking at the two blurred figures, his smile became even wider.
He turned around and rolled his eyes at the waiter, saying unhappily, "What do you know? Putting aside the authenticity of this bill, do you know who that girl who came over just now was?"
The waiter pondered for a moment, scratched his head and said, "She is just a maid from some family, could she be a young lady?"
"Miss!"
The shopkeeper snorted coldly, and said with a slightly proud look: "She is the personal maid of the county magistrate's daughter. The day before yesterday, I..."
The shopkeeper stopped talking when he felt uncomfortable. He glanced at the waiter and said, "Why should I tell you this? Go do what you need to do."
"Yes, yes, yes!" the waiter responded repeatedly and walked towards the bookcase beside him.
While wiping the non-existent dust off the bookshelf, he looked back with some curiosity.
Although the two figures had long been submerged in the crowd, it still couldn't conceal the curiosity in his heart.
Since both of them practiced martial arts, the journey back to the back court was much faster. It took them almost half a cup of tea to pass through the corridor.
Seeing Xie Shuting still sleeping in the courtyard, Lian Xi slowed down his pace a little, but even so he woke Xie Shuting up.
Xie Shuting opened her slightly hazy eyes, looked up at the two people walking towards the courtyard, and smiled unconsciously.
Just as she was about to stand up, she felt her legs go weak and her body fell to one side like a willow tree supported by a weak wind.
Lian Xi was just about to move when she felt a shadow appear beside her. When she came to her senses, she saw Xie Shuting lying in Li Shixian's arms.
"this......"
Lian Xi was suddenly shocked. Only at this moment did she understand how profound Li Shixian's kung fu was.
"Don't get up after you just woke up, just move around a little." Li Shixian stroked the hair by Xie Shuting's ears and said softly.
"I'm glad to see you. How was your trip to the county town?"
"Not bad!" Li Shixian praised repeatedly.
She slowly helped Xie Shuting to the recliner, then found a stone bench, rolled up her sleeves and said, "If it weren't for Shuting's plan, Laigu County would still be dead now."
"I can't take the credit for this. It's just my father's order."
As Xie Shuting spoke, she stroked the teacup and took a sip. Then she noticed the scroll in Lian Xi's hand and glanced at Li Shixian with a little surprise.
She knew that Li Shixian was an excellent poet and painter. If this painting caught her eye, it must be good.
She immediately looked at Lian Xi and said, "Xi'er! Unfold this painting and let me take a look."
"Yes, Miss!" Lian Xi responded and unfolded the scroll.
Xie Shuting only took one look at "Traveling in the Snow on Pine Mountain" and knew that it was painted by Li Shixian, because this painting had been hanging in her bedroom at that time.
"What a beautiful painting, "Snowy Journey in Songshan", with its long mountain range and smooth lines. This painting uses the blank space on rice paper to match the blooming plum blossoms and the evergreen pines and cypresses to highlight the winter snow scene. It is worthy of the work of the immortal poet."
Lian Xi was shocked when she heard this: "Miss! I didn't tell you, how did you know that this painting was done by Miss Li?"
Xie Shuting did not speak immediately, but glanced at Li Shixian, smiled and said, "How could you know the fame of Shixian?"
"Miss, do you know?" Lian Xi couldn't help but ask.
She stared with her eyes wide open, her face full of curiosity, because she also felt that this painting was a rare and good piece of work, and it was obvious that it was good at first glance.
"Your young lady is well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, but at least she has the Four Books by heart and is familiar with the Five Classics. I know the Immortal Poet's abilities very well." Xie Shuting smiled as she stroked the cup.
Li Shixian was obviously stunned when she heard this. Since the first time she met Xie Shuting, she felt that the two of them were like old friends.
At this moment, she also wanted to hear what Xie Shuting knew about her, so she raised her eyes and asked, "Shuting! Tell me, how much do you know about me?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Shuting slowly stood up, walked a few steps in the courtyard, looked up at the green bamboo in front of her, and felt a little dazed for a moment.
Suddenly! Jinghong turned around, and she was seen mumbling: "A chivalrous spirit, two parts of the bright moon, familiar with the Three Tombs and Five Classics, drunkenly wrote poems to express heroic feelings. Six strings bowed, seven notes were perfect, and she knew the eight ropes and nine hills. She could make clear the meaning of the present and the past and determine the wind and clouds. The talent of the immortal poet! Even I can't compare with her."
"Bang!~"
There was a crisp sound, and the teacup in Li Shixian's hand fell to the ground. She looked at Xie Shuting in astonishment, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
