Qiu Yuanliang hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Please Xiao Lang draw a picture for me."

drawing?Li Wangyou seemed to understand a little bit.

He looked at Qiu Yuanliang with playful eyes, this son is so old, but he is still so interested in erotic pictures?Looking at it, you still want to "customize" a erotic picture?

Li Wangyou believed Qiu Yuanliang's words.

He thought that since this enemy's family is a famous grain merchant, he shouldn't be able to deceive himself, a poor boy, right?

It can't be for the purpose of tricking myself into the mansion, and then putting myself under house arrest to draw erotic pictures for them, right?

Li Wangyou was about to nod his head in agreement, but he still kept an extra thought: "You can go to your residence, but I have two older brothers waiting for me in the hostel, I wonder if it would be convenient for my older brothers to go with me?"

"Of course, I don't know where Brother Xiaolang is? Just go and pick them up together."

Li Wangyou nodded, and the group went back to Chongrenfang to find the brothers from the Niu family.He was also afraid that if the enemy had any malicious intentions, at least he would be safe and secure with his two elder brothers guarding him.

In the hostel, he also secretly inquired about Fan Qiu's family from the clerk. As Qiu Yuanliang said, this Qiu family is a well-known large grain merchant in Chang'an City, with a good reputation.

Only then did he feel relieved, and he went out on horseback with the Niu family brothers, and walked into Qiu's Mansion in Xuanyangfang amidst the sound of evening drums.

Qiu Yuanliang arranged for the servants in the mansion to arrange board and lodging for the brothers of the Niu family, and invited Li Wangyou into the main room, and ordered the servants to bring drinks.

After sitting down and talking for a while, Li Wangyou found out that the fat man's name was Qiu Kun, he was the only son of the Qiu family, and he had several older sisters who were already married.

When Li Wangyou heard Qiu Kun's name, he was surprised and laughed secretly. The name was chosen, domineering!

The writing of the Tang Dynasty is from top to bottom. Couldn't this Qiu Kun be read as Qiu Ribi?

Thinking carefully about Qiu Yuanliang's name, Li Wangyou even snickered.The pronunciation of Qiu's surname is the same as "seeking", and there are two fathers and sons, one "seeking forgiveness", the other "seeking Japan x"...

Secretly complaining about the enemy's ability to choose names, Li Wangyou almost spit out the drink in his mouth, holding back his face and not being able to laugh, it was really hard work.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Wangyou finally understood why the father and son of the Chou family were so anxious to get angry with him.

This Qiu's family has been merchants for generations, Qiu Yuanliang is honest and kind, but he has two minor problems.

One is good wine, and the other is arty.

Being arty is actually not a bad thing. Although the status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty is not low, they are not as good as scholars.In order to decorate the appearance and raise the status, it is understandable to make friends with some literati and refined scholars.

For this reason, the Qiu family did not even make their home in Xi'an, but bought a property in Xuanyangfang, east of the city, in order to be closer to Pingkangfang.

Although Pingkangfang is a red-light district in Chang'an, the "ladies and sisters" inside are not the kind of low-level prostitutes who only sell their looks.

They can recite poems and paint pictures quietly, and can dance with kinetic energy, ride and shoot, and dance with swords. They are most loved by nobles and literati.

Therefore, scholars and even bureaucrats in the Tang Dynasty like to go to Pingkangfang to drink and chat, enjoy singing and dancing, recite poems, and talk about life with beautiful women.

Qiu Yuanliang moved here also for the convenience of making friends with literati.

But the bad thing is the bad thing on top of this good wine and gluttony.

A few days ago, Qiu Yuanliang hosted a banquet for a group of scholars in Pingkang Square.Although he is the patron of money, he is often thankless and humiliated by those poor scholars and stinky scholars.

During the banquet that day, everyone talked about the precious paintings and calligraphy of the past dynasties, and intentionally or unintentionally laughed at Qiu Yuanliang.It is said that although he has a lot of money, he should collect some ancient paintings and classics to dilute the smell of the enemy's copper.

Qiu Yuanliang drank a few cups, and he was so angry when he heard this.

You kindly spent a lot of copper money to buy you a drink, but you still mocked me.Unhappy in his heart, he opened his mouth and boasted.

"Who said there are no ancient paintings in my mansion? I have a copy of "Luo Shen Tu" in my mansion, which is an incredible treasure." Qiu Yuanliang said with his tongue out.

His words made everyone startled for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"I only know Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. What is Qiu Gong's "Luo Shen Tu"?"

"Haha, that's right, Mr. Qiu made a slip of the tongue?"

Qiu Yuanliang was indeed wrong, he recorded "Luo Shen Fu Tu" as "Luo Shen Tu".But at this time, under the stimulation of alcohol, for the sake of his thin face, Qiu Yuanliang's neck swelled and he refused to admit that he was wrong.

"No, no, it is "The Picture of Luoshen". It is impossible to test when and who made this picture, but it is a remarkable painting. In the picture, Luoshen has no makeup, plain clothes, and a light body. The shape on the wave river. The most important thing is that the Luoshen in this picture is lifelike, lifelike, as if it is about to walk out of the painting at any time, it is very magical. It is a family heirloom of my enemy, a treasure that cannot be easily shown to others. "

Qiu Yuanliang's words were pure bragging, he was too drunk to talk, but he was usually honest and honest, but everyone believed his words.

"Is there really such a miraculous painting? Qiu Gong, can you let us have a look and open our eyes?"

Everyone begged to see the picture one after another, which frightened Qiu Yuanliang sober from the wine, and quickly found an excuse to prevaricate it.

Originally, this was the end of the matter, but he drank too much and bragged in front of everyone for his own face.

But he didn't expect that he would have to pay taxes for bragging casually. Qiu Yuanliang's unintentional words caused a huge trouble and crisis for himself and his family.

053 Lord Changping

Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping County, is the confidant general of Li's second subordinate.

Zhang Liang was born in a poor and humble family, and the world was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Zhang Liang first joined Li Mi in Wagang Village.Later, he followed Xu Shiji to the Tang Dynasty, was recommended by Fang Xuanling to join the Qin Palace, and became Li Er's confidant.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Zhang Liang was granted the title of General Right Guard, General Manager of Huaizhou, and Duke of Changping County by Li Erfeng.

Zhang Liang is honest on the outside but deceitful on the inside, and he has become even more arrogant with his own achievements.He wantonly recruited young and strong men as fakes.

The so-called "fake son" means the same as the adopted son.The fake son system was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the army of feudal towns. Those who can be registered as fake sons must of course have the conditions of bravery, courage and outstanding talents.

Zhang Liang received five hundred false sons, but relied on his power to commit crimes.

"Old Tang Book" describes Zhang Liang's five hundred false sons, "the righteous sons are like animals, and the evil deeds are revealed."It means that his fake son behaves like a beast, full of evil deeds.

Only one person in later generations dared to shout "My father is Li Gang", but Zhang Liang had [-] hypocrites shouting "My father is Zhang Liang" at any time, running rampant in Chang'an...

Somehow, Qiu Yuanliang's bragging words at the banquet reached Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping County.

Not long after Zhang Liang learned that the enemy's family had such a treasure, his fake son came to the door.

It is said that Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping County, will celebrate his [-]th birthday in a few days, and he will invite his family to bring "The Picture of Luoshen" to the banquet at that time, so as to celebrate the birthday of the Duke of Changping County.

This actually meant that the Qiu family wanted to give Zhang Liang the ancient painting "The Picture of Luoshen" as a congratulatory gift. However, in the early Tang Dynasty, these rich and nobles still paid attention to face, and they were not easy to come forward to snatch it, but they used this method to force the Qiu family to hand over the ancient painting.

If Qiu Yuanliang really had this ancient painting, he would give it away as well. Even a merchant like him would not be able to offend Duke Changping.

But the key is where is there any "Luo Shen Tu"?That was simply fabricated by Qiu Yuanliang after drinking.

But no matter how he explained, Zhang Liang's hypocrite only thought that he was reluctant and used this excuse to prevaricate.

So in a fit of rage, he uttered the words that on the day of Duke Changping's birthday, the Chou's family did not bring a painting to celebrate his birthday, that is, they did not give Duke Changping face.Annoyed Changping County Duke, be careful to move your head!

Speaking of this level, Qiu Yuanliang could only bow his head and admit his cowardice, and promised to bring "The Picture of Luoshen" to celebrate the birthday of Duke Changping's birthday, so as to cheer for Duke Changping.
