"Hero, please wait!"
After watching Liu Hong leave the Black Treasure Pavilion, Chen Qi hesitated for a moment before quickly following him and shouting.
Liu Hong was stunned when he heard the shout from behind. He turned around and frowned at Chen Qi."Young Master, may I know why you called Liu Hong?”
Although he was a martial artist at the fourth grade Aureate Body realm, Liu Hong's performance was polite and restrained. He did not look down on Chen Qi because of his scholar status.
After all, in Chang 'an Fortress, any random brick could hit a noble.
As a guard of the Prime Minister's Estate, Liu Hong was not someone without judgment.
Although he did not know Chen Qi, how could a person who was willing to spend two taels of gold to buy a piece of Xuan paper be an ordinary person?
Therefore, even though Liu Hong was depressed, he was not angry when Chen Qi called him. He only asked in surprise.
Chen Qi did not pay attention to the surprise on Liu Hong's face. He slowly walked up to Liu Hong, cupped his hands slightly, and asked with a smile,""Just now, I heard from Hero Liu in the Black Treasure Pavilion that he wanted to buy a Great Confucian Calligraphy. Coincidentally, I have one in my hands. I wonder if Hero Liu is interested?”
Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this, but they quickly dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said,"
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Young Master. I didn't buy the Great Confucian Calligraphy for cultivation, but to give it away. The reason why I wanted to buy the 'Ode to Mount Tai' from the Black Treasure Pavilion was because the owner liked it. If it was any other calligraphy, I'm afraid…"
Even though the Great Scholar's Calligraphy was hard to come by, it was not rare for Liu Hong, who worked in the Left Prime Minister's Estate.
In fact, to the person he wanted to give it to, the Great Scholar's Calligraphy was even more common.
However, even though there were many copybooks handed down by the great Confucians, they rarely wrote poems like the 'Song of Mount Tai'.
This was why the calligraphy of the Great Scholar was so precious.
Chen Qi did not get angry when he heard Liu Hong's rejection. He had already guessed the cause and effect. He also knew why Liu Hong had asked for the Song of Mount Tai from the Black Treasure Pavilion.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that he was a little short of money and Yuan Chengcheng and the Jing River Dragon King had not shown themselves, Chen Qi would not have been willing to sell Liu Hong the copybook.
It shouldn't be too much to sell a Great Scholar's Calligraphy for thirty to fifty thousand taels of gold.
With this money, he could move out of the Yang Family Courtyard as soon as possible and avoid the karma of the Divine Dragon Empress.
As for whether selling Liu Hong a copybook would change Liu Hong's fate and affect the plot of the Journey to the West, that was obviously impossible.
If Liu Hong's fate could really be changed so easily, then his face would not be an unsolvable knot.
Moreover, if a copybook could really affect Liu Hong's fate, Chen Qi would definitely not sell it to him.
If all he wanted to do was to earn some money for a house and living expenses, he would not be responsible for anything else.
Therefore, Chen Qi directly interrupted Liu Hong's words and said with a smile,""Brother Liu doesn't need to worry about this. Since I want to make this deal, then the Great Scholar Calligraphy will definitely satisfy Brother Liu. I wonder what price Brother Liu can offer.”
After Chen Qi finished speaking, he saw a hint of hesitation on Liu Hong's face. He immediately added,"If I'm not wrong, Brother Liu bought the 'Song of Mount Tai' to give to a woman, right?”
"If Brother Liu can offer a suitable price, let alone 'Song of Mount Tai', I might be able to offer you other calligraphy scrolls that are more suitable for Brother Liu.”
When Liu Hong heard this, his pupils could not help but shrink. He instantly understood what Chen Qi meant.
What he meant was that he could find a great Confucian scholar to write for him. As long as the price was right, he could write whatever he wanted, let alone copying ancient poems.
However, it was only when he understood that he was shocked.
If it was really as the person in front of him said, then that great scholar was too shameless!
Fortunately, Liu Hong was not someone who liked to pry into other people's privacy. After hearing Chen Qi's words, he could not deny that he was tempted.
"Is it really possible?"
If he could really find a great scholar to write it for him, why would he buy 'Ode to Mount Tai'? He would definitely write better poems that could express his feelings.
"Of course, as long as you can afford it!”
Chen Qi said with certainty.
As long as he could afford it, he could even write an anti-poem, let alone a love poem.
Anyway, Chen Qi had plenty of ways to get himself out of this so that no one could find out about him.
Hearing Chen Qi's affirmative answer, Liu Hong could not help but fall silent and lower his head.
After a long time, he raised his head again and looked at the tea stall by the roadside. He said in a melancholic tone,"Would you like to hear a story from me?”
Listening to stories?
The story of the pirate Liu Hong and Tang Sanzang's mother?
Or was it the story of the Prime Minister's manor's Eldest Miss and the guard?
Chen Qi said that he liked this kind of story the most.
Moreover, Chen Qi was very tolerant of his sugar daddy's requests.
Since the sponsor wanted to tell a story, he would definitely be a good listener.
Well, this was the story of one of Liu Hong's friends.
It was also a very old-fashioned story.
In Liu Hong's story, he had a friend who was a guard of a rich family. He was conscientious and dutiful.
The only bad thing was that he had fallen in love with the family head's daughter in secret.
However, because of the huge difference in status, this relationship was destined to have no results.
Especially after the family head discovered some clues, he directly betrothed his daughter to the young master of another wealthy family.
After that, the young lady secretly found a guard and wanted him to elope with her.
The guard refused because he knew very well that even if the two of them eloped, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the family head. The guard was also unwilling to let the woman he loved suffer with him.
After being rejected by the guards, the young miss was heartbroken and finally agreed to marry someone else.
Now that the wedding date was approaching, the guard wanted to give a gift to the woman he liked.
He wanted to tell the woman he loved deeply that he still loved her and would always protect her silently.
After listening to Liu Hong's story about a friend, what else could Chen Qi say?
Very good, very powerful, and very melodramatic.
He patted his chest and promised firmly,"Don't worry, this is a simple matter. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied.”
Although Liu Hong had more requests and the story was more melodramatic, Chen Qi said that it was not a problem.
The real problem was,"I don't know how much money Brother Liu can take out. You have to know that a Confucian calligraphy is not cheap, let alone this custom-made one."”
Liu Hong was speechless.
Damn it, is this still the scholar I know? Why is he even more of a businessman than a businessman?
The sad atmosphere was ruined by your words.
Can this still make people look straight at love!
Liu Hong was speechless. However, when he thought of the figure in his mind, he could only ask weakly,"An ordinary Great Scholar's Calligraphy is about thirty thousand gold taels. Can I offer five hundred gold taels?”
