Nativity

Chapter 351
In other words, after Du Di was brought back to Zuodu Mansion, Sima Ao found out what crime Du Di had committed.

There are those who gamble; those who beat people, even the elderly; .

Knowing that his son (Du Di) was arrested by the Zuodu Mansion, the capital captain of Kyoto hurried to the Zuodu Mansion to repent and plead guilty, and pitifully begged Sima Ao to let Du Di go, and he could do whatever he wanted.

let go?

Sima Ao couldn't believe it, as a parent official would say such a thing.

"Look at the crimes committed by your son. It's ridiculous to ask the official to let your son go."

Sima Ao was immediately annoyed, and threw a piece of pleading paper to Lieutenant Jingdu, which listed a hundred crimes.

Looking at the stern and selfless Zuodu Censor, the capital captain knew that if he wanted to save his son, he had to accept all the crimes.

"It's all the fault of the lower officials. It's the lower officials who can't teach children well. Lord Zuodu Censor will punish the lower officials!"

"You are indeed guilty. If you are guilty, you will indulge your son and let him act without the law. The father's sin is the father's sin, and the son's sin is the son's sin. Do you think this will protect your son? "

The She family and the Sima family have a common curse, they are both official families, and they are both passed down through three generations.

"Xiaguan only has one son, and he is reluctant to beat and scold him. If the son is gone, Xiaguan will be ashamed of his ancestors and have no face to live." Captain Jingdu thought of this move, which aroused Sima Ao's sympathy.

Captain Jingdu's move might work if Sima Xiang was replaced, but it wouldn't work with Sima Ao.

Because Sima Ao never worried about the lights of his family, he thought that he was young, in good health, and just got married, so he would have many children in the future.

Sima Ao said: "My Sima family is also a single heir for three generations, but my father has always been strict with me. As a parent official in Kyoto, you only think about your son, don't you think about the people in Kyoto?"

Being a parent is a failure in itself.

Listening to Sima Ao's words, Captain Jingdu's heart felt as uncomfortable as if his throat was choked by a fishbone.

Seeing this old captain of the capital weeping, Sima Ao felt a little distressed, but he couldn't use favoritism and cheating just because of kindness.

In the end, Sima Ao sentenced Du Di to [-] years in prison, dismissed from his post as Captain of the Capital, and used his family property to make up for the people who were persecuted by Du Di.

.............................................

As soon as Sima Ao finished handling Du Di's case, Li Fulai hurried to Zuodu Mansion.

Sima Ao asked Li Fulai to come to the mansion to find me in a hurry, what's the matter?

"Me?" Li Fulai was embarrassed, and made a motion to borrow money.

Li Fulai is used to being rich, and the money he sells for paintings is not enough for him to spend, and you can't buy as many paintings as you want, and sometimes you can't sell a painting for several months.

When Li Fulai ran out of money, he would ask Sima Ao and Jiang Bin to borrow it.

The money used by Jiang Bin was also provided by his parents, so Jiang Bin could not lend much money to Li Fulai.Li Fulai had no choice but to borrow it from Sima Ao.

Li Fulai, who has no money, is really poor. He is dressed in plain clothes, his hair is loose and his beard is unshaven.

Now that Sima Ao sees Li Fulai under pressure, he really feels sorry and puzzled for Li Fulai.

Sima Ao once persuaded Li Fulai that it was not worth falling out with her family because of a firework woman.

Seeing Li Fulai under pressure now, Sima Ao really feels sorry and puzzled for Li Fulai.

Sima Ao called Li Fulai to sit down and have a sip of tea.

Sima Ao asked Li Fulai how much he wanted to borrow this time.

"A thousand taels of silver."

Li Fulai never borrowed more than 300 taels each time.This time, without even thinking about it, he asked for one thousand taels. Sima Ao, who was drinking tea, choked on the tea.

Seeing that Sima Ao didn't speak, Li Fulai put down the teacup in his hand, and said reassuringly: "Aodi, the amount is a little too much this time, don't worry, I will pay it back."

Being a third grade, the annual salary is 2 taels, 1000 taels is nothing to Sima Ao.

Sima Ao was not worried that Li Fulai would not pay back the money, but just wanted to know why Li Fulai suddenly asked for so much money?
Sima arrogantly put the teacup back on the tea tray, and asked, "Aodi wants to know why Brother Li suddenly asks for so much money?"

Seeing that Li Fulai seemed to have something difficult to say, Sima Ao said again: "Brother Li, if you have any difficulties, you may as well tell them, the proud brother can definitely help you."

"I want to redeem Jingjing."

Sima Ao was slightly taken aback, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"The bustard always asks Jingjing to pick up guests she doesn't want to pick up, so it won't work unless she redeems herself!" Li Fulai replied helplessly.

After the incident of 'Bingwei Cuihualou', Jingjing was tired of the seemingly glamorous life, and also realized that she was getting old and had to plan for the future.

Although Jingjing is old, she still has her charming charm. If she wants to redeem her body and retire, the old bustard of Cuihualou is of course reluctant to give up.

In order to tie Jingjing and continue to earn money for her, the redemption price was increased to one thousand silver.

"This is 1000 taels? Brother Li, how many paintings do you have to sell to pay for it?"

Sima Ao asked Li Fulai to think carefully before borrowing from himself.

Because there are only a handful of people in Kyoto who know how to paint and are willing to buy.Li Fulai's paintings can be sold at a good price, but they are all priceless.

Sima Ao asked Li Fulai.

Seeing that Li Fulai was silent, Sima Ao said again: "There are still two months left, and it's my father's 1000th birthday. I originally wanted to draw a picture of "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" as a gift for my father, but I haven't started writing yet because of the busy work It just so happens that Brother Li is good at landscapes, so why not paint me this "Beautiful Landscape of Rivers and Mountains"? Brother Li borrows this [-] taels, and I will be exempt."

"Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" is to depict [-] mountain peaks, which must be undulating, verdant and majestic, connected with mountains and rivers, and have a sense of mist and mist.

Proud brother!

Li Fulai knelt down and hugged Sima Ao's knee, so moved that he couldn't speak.

Li Fulai's sudden move made Sima Ao slightly stunned.

"Brother Li, what are you doing?" Sima Aojiang helped Li Fulai up, and said, "Brothers don't need this."

Then, Xiao Pang carried a box of silver and gave it to Li Fulai.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness!" Li Fulai picked up the box and left Zuodu Mansion.

...........................

two months later
Li Fulai came with a piece of "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" with a size of 51cm in length and 5cm in width.

Sima Ao ordered his servants to open the "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" on the floor, and a picture of undulating mountains was vividly displayed on the paper.

The picture is detailed, the misty river, the mountains are green and the river is crystal clear; the mountains are misty and cloudy, giving people a vision that the mountains are so high that they reach the sky, and a white crane is flying across the clouds.

There are fishing villages, wild markets, waterside pavilions, temples, grasslands, and small bridges in the mountains.Quiet scenes are interspersed with moving scenes, such as fishing, boating, and going to the market. There is no lack of life in the beautiful scenery.

The crane is the symbol of the noble bird; it means longevity and longevity.

The white crane is the eye of the whole painting. Although it is only a little bit with the pen, the state of spreading its wings and soaring is lifelike.

Li Fulai's "Beautiful Landscape of Mountains and Rivers" is exactly what Sima Ao imagined.

Sima Ao couldn't help but praise: ""The Picture of Beautiful Mountains and Rivers" is priceless, 1000 taels of true value!"
