After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.
Chapter 172 The crops are growing
Qu Moran said that Shen Yunzhou likes ancient calligraphy and painting, especially the original works of Xiaoyaozi.
Not many of Xiaoyaozi's paintings have been handed down, so Liu Yunxiang was worried about where she would get them in such a short period of time.
Qu Moran smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll draw you a picture."
"what?"
Qu Moran secretly brought Liu Yunxiang to his courtyard, splashed a few strokes of ink in his study, and drew a landscape painting. The lines were extremely simple, but the meaning was very good.
"Can this fool him?"
Isn't he just a fox? He must be very smart and not so easy to deceive, right?
Qu Moran snickered and said: "I once used three authentic paintings of Xiaoyaozi I painted to coax him into becoming mine."
The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched: "I once suspected that he was the kind of heartless and unjust man who forced you to be her concubine."
"The first time I met him was when he passed the first place in his new subject and was selected as the number one scholar in the palace examination. He was riding a tall horse and paraded with a big red flower on his chest. The top two candidates were all smiling and excited. He was the only one who won the top prize. Yawning, he looked like he hadn't woken up. I noticed him at first glance, and he was so good-looking. I liked him everywhere. Later, I tried to find a way to sneak into his house as a maid, but I could only serve in the outer courtyard, so I thought of a way."
Liu Yunxiang asked curiously: "What method?"
"I poisoned him."
"what?"
"This kind of poison would give him headaches and frequent nosebleeds, but the doctor would usually treat him according to the diagnosis of acute fire. He couldn't be cured for a long time. At this time, I created an opportunity to meet him and offered my prescription. He ate me Naturally, he was cured soon after taking the medicine. He wanted to thank me and asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted to be his maid, and he agreed. After that, I went to serve him. Every day I was thinking about how to get promoted and make a fortune, and then I was immersed in books. My only hobby was collecting calligraphy and paintings. I seduced him many times and used various strategies, but he didn't even look at me. After more than a year of this, I lost my patience. , I simply drew three calligraphy and paintings of Xiaoyaozi myself, and told him directly that if I wanted to get these three paintings, then marry me. He said that marrying me as my wife was not possible because I was not of high birth, but I could take her as a concubine. It doesn’t matter, anyway, I only covet his beauty.”
"that's it?"
"Yes."
"He didn't see that the painting you drew was fake?"
Qu Moran smiled proudly, "Xiaoyaozi is my master. Although I have never met him, my master often asks me to copy his paintings. I have mastered the charm of the brushwork, and the paintings I painted can be slightly aged. Most people can’t see it.”
"Why did your master ask you to copy your master's paintings?"
"Unlike Yaogu, who has many brothers, Master cannot afford to support him, so he can only make money by selling fake paintings."
"..."
"Don't worry, we only trap people who have done bad things and still have money."
Qu Moran's hands and feet were nimble. He had already aged the painting, rolled it up and handed it to Liu Yunxiang.
"Just say that you bought this painting from a master and it cost 1 taels."
Liu Yunxiang felt a little uneasy. Will he really not be discovered?
That person was Shen Yunzhou, a young man who had risen to the rank of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He was a figure who gave Yan Mu a headache just hearing about it.
However, Liu Yunxiang had no other choice but to bite the bullet.
After handing in the greeting card again, it was already three days since I saw Shen Yunzhou.
Liu Yunxiang was too lazy to make excuses and directly unfolded the painting to show Shen Yunzhou, making it clear that he was bribing him.
Shen Yunzhou looked at the painting, but he stared motionless for a long time before praising: "The painting is a good painting and an authentic work."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoyaozi's landscape paintings have three strokes and two strokes. They seem perfunctory, but in fact they are full of meaning."
Liu Yunxiang took a look and thought to himself that this didn't seem to be perfunctory, but it was really perfunctory. Qu Moran probably felt that it was a waste of pen and ink if he added one more stroke.
Shen Yunzhou tapped the table with his index finger, obviously weighing something. Then he retracted his hand and looked up at Liu Yunxiang.
“The land can be sold to you, but what about the grain tax?”
Liu Yunxiang said: "Of course I will hand it over in full."
Shen Yunzhou shook his head, "Add another [-]%."
Liu Yunxiang snorted, "Whether the crops can grow well and have a good harvest depends on whether I'm taking a huge risk. I can't earn much originally. If you add another [-]%, won't all my earnings go to you?" .”
"I did a careful calculation and found that Madam still made money, although not much."
Liu Yunxiang was silent, "Half done."
"It's not impossible."
Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I want you Lingyun to open a medicine shop here, collect medicinal materials locally, trade them locally, and form a medicine market."
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath and said, "Your Excellency, you are really good at planning. It's just a small business for us to open a medicine shop. What you really want is to borrow our golden brand name of Lingyun."
After all, it is a sign given by the Queen Mother, and its influence cannot be underestimated.
Shen Yunzhou straightened his posture and said, "Madam, if this is done, the people on behalf of Shen will thank you."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Okay, it's settled. What about the land deed?"
"Sign immediately."
But later, Liu Yunxiang thought about why Shen Yunzhou deliberately dragged her. He was actually testing her. Seeing that she was anxious to find him again and again, he increased the pressure little by little.
If she really gave up her career, Shen Yunzhou would be more anxious than she was.
He is indeed a cunning fox!
Before spring comes, Liu Yunxiang has hired people to start cultivating the land. There are too many places to spend money at the moment, and there is no salary. She has to provide two meals a day, but she is guaranteed to cultivate the land for her.
When it was time to plant seeds in spring, the river channel was finally dug, and the dry land was soaked with water first, and then the seeds were planted.
The days are getting warmer and the seeds are sprouting and bursting out of the ground.
This year, when the geese returned to the city, crops finally grew on the wasteland.
At this time, the medicine store also opened. Because of the brand name Lingyun and the good quality of medicinal materials in Beidi, other medicine stores were afraid that Lingyun would steal their business, so they opened medicine stores here one after another.
Liu Yunxiang specially set aside a piece of land to grow medicinal materials, and they are growing very well.
On this day in May, Liu Yunxiang came back from the outskirts of the city. When he opened the door and entered the courtyard, he first smelled the smoke of fireworks mixed with the aroma of barbecue. Looking again, there was a fire in the courtyard, and the whole robe was roasting on the fire, while Yan Mu was sitting aside, turning the grill with one hand and holding Xingyi in the other.
Xingyi put his arms around Yan Mu's neck, and Yan Mu lowered his head to kiss the little girl's forehead from time to time. The relationship between father and daughter was very good.
Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and asked, "Why are you back?"
Yan Mu raised his head and glanced at her, "I hunted a robe in the forest and wanted you to try it."
Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled, so he ran hundreds of miles carrying this robe just to let them and their daughter taste it?
At night, Yan Mu and the beggar ate meat and drank wine. Liu Yunxiang sat with them for a while, and then took Xingyi to sleep. After coaxing the little girl to fall asleep, Liu Yunxiang came out of the house and saw that the beggar was drunk and Yan Mu was drinking alone.
"I want to drink too." Liu Yunxiang said, holding a bowl.
Yan Mu poured some for her and said, "This wine is strong, drink less."
Liu Yunxiang took a sip, and it was indeed very spicy. At this time, Yan Mu handed her a piece of meat, and she took his hand and ate it into her mouth.
"Is Shuoxi still cold?" she asked.
"not cold."
"Ever been in a war?"
"No."
He didn't say much, so Liu Yunxiang made a few words. After drinking the rest of the wine, she got up and went back to the house.
But she couldn't sleep and tossed and turned. Then she got up and sat on the Arhat bed and looked out through the window.
Under the moonlight, Yan Mu sat on the steps with no intention of entering the house.
This sitting lasted all night.
He knew how to avoid suspicion even if he was alone or alone.
Not many of Xiaoyaozi's paintings have been handed down, so Liu Yunxiang was worried about where she would get them in such a short period of time.
Qu Moran smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll draw you a picture."
