At this moment, she did not know what to say to her fourth brother.
Xu Zengshou saw that she was about to lose her temper and quickly changed the topic."Sister, you have always been smart. Quickly help us think of a way to make these stinking scholars obediently fork out money?”
Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes at him. She simply didn't want to bother with this wicked fellow.
But soon, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she said with a smile,"It's not impossible for me to give you some advice, but you have to tell me the name of the person who wrote this poem.”
Xu Zengshou was stunned and shook his head like a rattle-drum. He hurriedly said,"No, no, we are people who value friendship. How can we betray our brothers?”
" Oh…" Xu Miaojin's expression turned pale."If big brother finds out that you sold your shop, he will definitely give you a beating. This little sister will not plead for mercy on your behalf, lest her good intentions be treated as donkey liver and lungs.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zengshou broke out in cold sweat.
Between betraying his brother and getting beaten up, he quickly made a decision.
Old Zhu, I'm sorry!
Don't blame me for not being human, I can only blame myself for not being able to take the beating!
He quickly smiled apologetically." Alright, alright. Let's tell you, sister. The one who wrote this poem is our brother, Zhu Ci 'an!"”
"Zhu Ci 'an…Which great scholar is he? Is he also a disciple of a great scholar?"
"Sister, you're wrong. He's just a businessman.”
Merchant…
Xu Miaojin was dumbfounded.”
It wasn't that she doubted Zhu Ci 'an. After all, anyone else would be shocked and wouldn't believe it.
Xu Zengshou smiled wickedly and boasted,"Sister, don't underestimate him. Other than composing poems, our brother has also done a great thing that can be heard by the heavens!”
"What's the big deal?"
"There was a flood in Henan Prefecture, and this brother of ours was so kind that he used some unknown method to offer more than 110,000 dans of grain to His Majesty.”
"His Majesty was so happy that he gave him a death-exemption ticket. The magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture slandered him for killing someone. It was also His Majesty who sent us to bring the Brocade Guard over and take that dog official into Zhao Prison!”
"Sister, isn't our brother amazing?”
Xu Miaojin's eyes were as bright as the stars. She was so shocked that she was a little absent-minded. She muttered," Impressive…I didn't think that there would be such a young talent in the marketplace…"
She couldn't help but feel curious about Zhu Ci 'an.
He knew how to compose poems, and he had even offered food to the imperial court, saving the people from being hung upside down. What kind of person was he?
Xu Zengshou saw that she was in a daze and quickly reminded her,""Sister, don't just stand there. I've already told you who wrote this poem. Think of a way for me!”
Only then did Xu Miaojin come back to her senses. She smiled and said,"There is a way, but I have a small request. When fourth brother earns money, give me ten thousand taels. How about it?”
"What do you want silver for?"
"The disaster victims of Henan Province have already entered the capital. I want to use silver to give them porridge to help the disaster victims.”
Xu Zengshou suddenly felt his heart ache, but since things had come to this, he could only helplessly say,""Alright, alright, alright, we'll agree! What method is it? Hurry up and tell me!"
A sly look flashed across Xu Miaojin's face as she whispered a few words into his ear.
After Xu Zengshou heard this, his eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh excitedly."Good, this is a good idea!" This shout immediately attracted everyone's attention, and their gazes focused on him.
Xu Zengshou stood up and looked at the civil officials present. He cupped his fists and said,"Everyone, I said something wrong just now. Today, I'm not selling poems, but renting poems!”
Renting poems?
Everyone was stunned.
I know my brother better than my brother.
Xu Huizu saw him pulling his little sister to the side and muttering, and knew that this bastard definitely did not hold back his fart. He immediately shouted,"You killing genius, if you have something to say, say it quickly!"
Xu Zengshou smiled cunningly and said in a clear voice,""Although it's a rental poem, you can still sign it. As for the rental period, it's ten million years!”
Ten million years?
Liu Ahze and the other civil officials were shocked!
They weren't fools, so they immediately understood what he meant.
Ah!
Now that he heard it, it didn't seem too humiliating…
At this moment, Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, and the other generals shook their heads. They looked at Xu Zengshou as if he was an idiot.
They had seen the pride and integrity of this group of civil officials. They did not admit defeat even when a knife was placed against their necks.
Did this fool think that by changing the way he put it, these civil officials would obediently buy it?
Too naive!
But at this moment, someone sitting behind Grand Secretary Liu Ahze suddenly spoke.
"Little Duke, this one is willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to rent this poem of yours, how about it?”As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions were greatly shocked!
He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was the Minister of Revenue.
Seeing that it was his son-in-law who spoke, Liu Ah couldn't help but be furious. He said bitterly,"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?”
"You still want to rent poems? Are you trying to throw away this old man's face?”
After being reprimanded by his father-in-law, Zhao Mian's face flushed red with embarrassment.
To be honest, he didn't want to say this either, but he had no choice. The temptation of this poem was too great.
His name will be recorded in history!
It had been passed down for thousands of years!
Who wouldn't be tempted?
Since he had already lost face, he might as well give it his all and said with a righteous look,"Father-in-law, can we call this a matter of scholars?”
"This son-in-law is afraid that if this poem falls into Xu Zengshou's hands, it will definitely be a pearl covered in dust. That's why he used silver to invite the poem and worship it in our family's study. He asked his descendants to watch it closely so that it wouldn't fall into the hands of thieves again!”
When Liu Ahze heard this, he was instantly stunned.
He silently stroked his beard and pondered for a while before slowly saying,"Virtuous son-in-law, what you said makes sense. This poem should not be placed in the hands of this fellow. Otherwise, it would be a waste of a heavenly gift.”
"Our family is a scholarly family, and our poetry and books have been passed down from generation to generation.”
Zhao Mian was delighted to receive his father-in-law's support. He hurriedly shouted,"Little Duke, what do you think of renting a poem for a thousand taels?”
On the side, Duke of Ying Fu Youde and the other generals saw this son-in-law echo each other and were so shocked that their mouths opened wide that they could swallow an egg.
F * ck…
These civil officials really wanted to rent poems?
Where was the strength of a scholar?
Where was his integrity?
After Xu Zengshou heard this, he was almost overjoyed.
He had fallen into a trap! Our sister is amazing!
However, when he heard that Zhao Mian only offered a thousand taels of silver, he immediately lost interest. He shook his head and said,"Qian Liang, this isn't humiliating us, it's humiliating this peerless poem!”
