The Young Emperor and the Fearless

The young Yuan Zhimi looks like Pan An, even though he is dressed in coarse cloth, his face is a bit haggard, looking from a distance, he is also a handsome young man in Yushu Linfeng.

When people approached, Chang Qi still stared at him with burning eyes. Yuan Zhimi frowned slightly, and then he looked back and said with a smile, "May I ask your name, sir?"

Yuan Zhimi was very impatient with his naked desire, he didn't want to say, but said: "I have a few calligraphy and paintings in my hand, I wonder if Mr. Chang is interested?"

Before seeing the calligraphy and painting, Chang Qi said, "Yes, of course."

It was the first time they met, and Yuan Zhimi didn't like this person very much, but now he couldn't turn around and leave, and patiently handed over the calligraphy and painting to Chang Qi's hands.

When Chang Qi took it, he deliberately touched Yuan Zhimi's hand, and then jokingly said, "Your hands are very cold."

Yuan Zhimi's face darkened, and his voice was obviously displeased: "Master Chang, do you want to watch it or not?"

Chang Qi spread out the calligraphy and painting, and said happily: "Okay, the calligraphy and painting are very good, I want all of these. Can you make a price, how much money do you want?"

Although he hates the person in front of him, he is always the patron and dare not offend.Yuan Zhimi didn't dare to raise the price randomly, and asked tentatively, "How much money do you think is suitable?"

Chang Qi looked at the calligraphy and painting one by one again, and praised: "This looks like the hand of a famous master, and it must not be cheap. I think, 50 taels, how about it?"

50 two?

This greatly exceeded Yuan Zhimi's expectations. He felt it necessary to explain: "These calligraphy and paintings are made by me, not paintings by famous artists. So, Master Chang still thinks it is worth 50 taels?"

Chang Qi was taken aback, he didn't understand calligraphy and painting, so he lost his words in front of Yuan Zhimi and lost face, he quickly made up and said: "Of course it's worth it, if you can misunderstand me as a famous artist, this calligraphy and painting must be one in a million, 50 taels, Just more and less."

Yuan Zhimi said: "Thank you, Mr. Chang, for your appreciation."

Chang Qi asked someone to get the silver, and with a wink, asked him to come back later, he wanted to take this opportunity to be alone with Yuan Zhimi.

However, through Chang Qi whose back was turned to him, Yuan Zhimi saw the servant's strange expression, guessed his intention from this, and said, "Master Chang, I have something else to do."

Chang Qi turned around and said with a smile on his face, "What's the matter? Let's hear it."

Yuan Zhimi took out Liang Bojin's IOU from his cuff, and said, "I owe this person ten taels of silver, and it just so happens that this person owes ten taels of silver to Mr. Chang's bank. Now, I will return the ten taels of silver. Ten taels deducted from the 50 taels of calligraphy and painting to offset this debt?"

Chang Qi took the IOU and glanced at the signature: "Liang Bojin? Who is he?"

Yuan Zhimi considered his words and said, "He has helped me, he is considered a benefactor."

Chang Qi rolled his eyes, returned the IOU to Yuan Zhimi, and said, "Let's waive it this time. Since Liang Bojin got the money from the bank, our IOU is still in the bank. If you don't mind, young master, change it." Today I will come to visit and personally deliver the IOU to you."

I don't know if these words are true or not.However, Chang Qi, as the magistrate of the state, has a high official position, so he actually wanted to go to Yuan Zhimi's house. This purpose is intriguing...

Yuan Zhimi said: "Don't bother Mr. Chang, since the IOU is in the bank, I will go to the bank to settle the debt."

"You don't need to look outside like this." Chang Qi pointed to the stone bench beside him, "My family doesn't have much money, and it will take some time to collect 50 taels. Why don't you drink tea with me?"

Yuan Zhimi's trip was to sell calligraphy and paintings for money, and if he didn't get the money, of course he couldn't leave.

He had no choice but to sit down.

This year, Chang Qi is also young, there is no worry or gloomy between his brows, he looks like a playboy, his words are frivolous, and he touches people's skin from time to time, deliberately intimacy.

This point, 17 years later, he still has not changed.As long as you are interested in someone, you can't control the desire that rises in your heart.

Yuan Zhimi couldn't help feeling sick, and when Chang Qi bumped into him again, he said loudly, "Master Chang, please respect yourself!"

The warning words didn't work at all, Chang Qi simply grabbed Yuan Zhimi's hand, and said bluntly: "I won't imply any more, sir, if you want to follow me, I will give you as much money as you want in the future."

Yuan Zhimi shook off Chang Qi's hand, stood up, took two steps back, turned his head to one side, and his lips trembled slightly - he couldn't refuse, otherwise, Chang Qi might go back on his word, and the 50 taels of silver would not be willing to pay up.

Chang Qi said again: "If you are worried about your reputation, it's okay, as long as I don't want anyone to know, I will never spread it. You don't have to stay in the magistrate's mansion every day, come here whenever you want, I will never force you. Also, you came today Come to sell calligraphy and painting, there must be difficulties, as long as you follow me, I will help you solve it."

Yuan Zhimi was silent for a long time without saying a word, staring at the waves of the koi swimming around in the pond, sinking in like a fish.

Chang Qi urged: "How?"

Yuan Zhimi bit his lip and said after a long time: "Give me a few days, I want to think about it."

Chang Qi laughed: "Of course, I believe you can understand the truth. Such a good thing is rare."

**

Yuan Zhimi came out from Zhizhou's mansion, holding Yinzi in his arms, and turned around to look back. The image of the seemingly solemn mansion in front of him had completely collapsed at this moment.

But as long as he stays in Lingyang City for one day, he cannot escape Chang Qi.

Three days later, Chang Qi approached the door with two guards.

Yuan Zhimi blocked the door, feeling displeased in his heart, but he couldn't express it, and said, "I don't know what Mr. Chang is doing here?"

Chang Qi looked around and said, "Master Yuan, your house...it's hard for you to live for so long."

The residence of Yuan Zhimi's family is actually not shabby. Although their family is poor, this house was carefully selected and bought by Yuan Zhimi's father in his early years. At that time, Yuan Zhimi's father still had spare money, so he chose this house It can be called a big family. Over the years, the house has been repaired several times, but it is not bad.Moreover, Yuan Zhimi doesn't like to keep old things. There are not many idle items in the house, and they are arranged in order to look clean and tidy.

But no matter how good the house is, it is far inferior to Zhizhou Mansion.

Yuan Zhimi leaned against the door, thinking, Chang Qi already knew his surname, so he should have done a special investigation. I am afraid that Chang Qi also knew who was in his family and what happened to his parents.

Yuan Zhimi suppressed the indignation in his heart. The other party was Zhizhou, and there was really nothing he could do.He said: "My parents are resting, please trouble Mr. Chang to go out and talk."

Yuan Zhimi didn't want to go far, but Chang Qi didn't want to stand outside the door and talk, so they went back to Zhizhou Mansion, by the pool where they met for the first time.

Chang Qi's purpose was obvious, he said: "Young Master Yuan, how have you thought about it?"

Of course Yuan Zhimi wanted to refuse directly in his heart, but in this way, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Lingyang City in the future.Yuan Zhimi had no choice but to find excuses to evade: "Master Chang must also know the situation in my family. My father needs someone to take care of me, and my mother needs someone to take care of me. It's not that I don't want to, but I really have no skills."

Chang Qi said: "It doesn't affect you and me, and if you need it, I can ask someone to take care of your parents."

Yuan Zhimi really couldn't figure out why Chang Qi was so obsessed with him. After thinking about it, he said euphemistically: "My parents don't like outsiders, and I want to take care of them myself."

Chang Qi said with a straight face: "Young Master Yuan, are you rejecting me?"

Yuan Zhimi said: "I dare not, I will tell the truth."

Chang Qi lifted his chin, and when he became serious, a sinister air emerged from his body.Originally, Chang Qi had a bad temper and was very irritable, so he had already put up with Yuan Zhimi.

Chang Qi said: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you refuse me?"

The consequences would be disastrous.

Yuan Zhimi said cautiously: "Can we talk about this matter after my father recovers from his illness?"

However, his father's illness will not recover, and he may need someone to take care of him for the rest of his life.When he said that, he was evading it.

Chang Qi walked back and forth impatiently with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he stopped beside Yuan Zhimi, wrapped his arms around his waist, put his mouth close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't force me!"
