Chapter 73 Auspicious Cloud Jade Pendant
"What's more, I don't have much money. The focus of increasing income and reducing expenditure has never been to reduce expenditure, but to increase income."

"I can grow flowers, and the flowers I grow are of good quality and high price. Some people want them. If that's the case, why can't I make money with them?"

"What you said makes sense!" Li Xingyi thought for a while, and felt that what she said made sense.

No one thinks that they have too much money and their purse is too heavy.

It is rare to have a craft, and it is even rarer to be able to make money with crafts.

It is indeed better that she can make money selling flowers than nothing.

Thinking of this, Li Xingyi looked at Luo Siyun and asked, "How did you sell it? Do you want me to help?"

"Huh?" Luo Siyun was confused.

what to sell
what help?
Seeing Luo Siyun's confused look, Li Xingyi sighed and said, "I have two pretty good shops in Ling'an County. How about I bring one out for you to sell flowers for?"

Sell ​​flowers to her in the shop?

Luo Siyun's eyes widened and he shook his head quickly, "No, no! I don't have enough flowers to plant right now, so I don't need them. Even if I need a shop later, I will have them!"

Why do you want his shop for no reason? It's not a gift to her, she can only look at it with greed!

She doesn't want to.

"You have it too?" Li Xingyi frowned, "Where did you get the shop?"

He remembered that she was just an ordinary person, and she was from Huizhou, separated from the capital by thousands of mountains and rivers, and she didn't seem like someone capable of setting up a shop here.

Unless she bought it after coming here.

However, compared with other places, the shops in Ling'an County are not a little bit more expensive. Even an ordinary small shop costs several hundred taels of silver.

Where did she get the money?

"rental?"

Thinking that she would rather rent his shop than rent it, Li Xingyi's heart sank, and she felt a little unhappy for some reason.

Not knowing that Li Xingyi could think of so much from her words, Luo Siyun shook his head, "No, Hui Niang gave it to me!"

Hui Niang?

Thinking of what she had just called Mrs. Zhu, Li Xingyi realized that she meant Mrs. Zhu.

but……

Mrs. Zhu delivers the shop?
Li Xingyi raised his eyebrows, "What have you been doing, it's fine if you know her, she will give you a shop!"

A shop is worth at least a thousand taels. Farmland, farmland and shops are the heritage of a family. No one would give them away without any reason.

Luo Siyun smiled, "I saved Tao'er during the Flower Goddess Festival. As a thank you gift from the Zhu family, not only did Madam Zhu give me a shop, but Mrs. Zhu also gave me a yard!"

"Saved Tao'er?" Li Xingyi was astonished.

If he remembered correctly, the Zhu family, like his teacher, were imperial merchants. They also had difficulties in having heirs, and they all had children in middle age.

Their only son was destined to inherit the family property as soon as he was born.

Luo Shi saved random people, but he actually saved their heir.

One save is two.

Was God afraid that it would not be safe for her to save one, so he simply asked her to save both?

Li Xingyi couldn't help but look her up and down, and chuckled, "I really underestimated you!"

Why doesn't he have this kind of luck?

If he had, he would go and meet Cen immediately.

Let Cen Xiang talk to him every day!
Jealous to death of others...

While they were talking, there was another exclamation from the garden next to them.

"Prime Minister Cen has gone to the Peony Pavilion!"

"Cen Xiang wants to finish the poem in person. Anyone who is interested should go and visit it, it hasn't started yet!"

"Cen Xiang wants to place a bet, and whoever wins against him can get his auspicious cloud jade pendant!" Someone cheered.

"Auspicious cloud jade pendant? Cen Xiangyun's auspicious cloud jade pendant? You can't lie to me!" Some people didn't believe it.

Who doesn't know, that Xiangyun jade pendant is something that Cen Xiang loves, how could he bet on it casually.

"Really, a lot of people are spreading the word, and now everyone is rushing over. If there are too many people, it will be too late to squeeze in!" After speaking, the man squeezed into the crowd with a "shoot" and rushed forward.

When the people behind saw it, no matter whether it was true or not, they quickly followed.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Just like that, the originally crowded group of people by the lake disappeared in an instant, leaving only a few servants responsible for the situation here...

"A pair of poems?"

Luo Siyun and Li Xingyi looked at each other. Luo Siyun said first, "Master, go and take a look?"

Cen relative poems.

What a rare opportunity.

How could Li Xingyi disagree? He nodded, "Let's go!"

Peony Pavilion.

By the time Luo Siyun and Li Xingyi arrived, a large circle of people had already gathered around the Peony Pavilion.

The high corridor of the Peony Pavilion that can be seen all around is also full of people.

Everyone stared at the Peony Pavilion closely.

In the Peony Pavilion as the protagonist, only a few people stood, and in the open space in front of the pavilion, there were more than a dozen people standing.

They were all gorgeously dressed, with childish faces... They were all young gentlemen. They all raised their eyes in unison and looked at the two people on the stairs with burning eyes.

Cen Xiang and his wife stood arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder on the steps of the pavilion, looked at the young child who couldn't hide their excitement, and smiled at each other.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Cen nodded slightly to Xiang Cen and let go of his hand.

Prime Minister Cen also nodded and took a half step forward. At the same time, Mrs. Cen also took a step back.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Cen turned his face sideways, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and gave Madam Cen a doting smile.

A smile makes the ice and snow melt and brings spring to all trees.

"Ahhh! Mr. Cen is so gentle!" The nymphomaniac couldn't help but scream.

"Prime Minister Cen is so handsome!" This is the second person to be a nymphomaniac.

"Mrs. Cen is so lucky to meet such a good man and husband as Prime Minister Cen!" This is because she is envious of Mrs. Cen's good fortune.

Looking around, looking at the people looking at him energetically, Cen Xiang couldn't help but nodded slightly, "I'm very happy that Jingguo can have young people like you after seeing you so bravely behaved!"

"...I won't waste any more nonsense. If the pair of poems can successfully answer the question I asked today, No. 3 will be rewarded with a three hundred thousand calligraphy note written by me. No. 2 will be rewarded with a peony picture drawn by me. As for No.1…”

Cen Xiang looked around again and said with a smile, "Just reward me with the auspicious cloud jade pendant! Okay?"

"Good!" Someone cheered.

"it is good!"

"Cen Xiang is really generous, actually rewarding calligraphy, paintings and copybooks!" A thin man standing in front of Luo Siyun envied.

"Not only that, he even took out the auspicious cloud jade pendant!" Another tall and thin man also nodded.

The thin man sighed again, "Prime Minister Cen painted the picture of peonies himself!"

"Any painting by Prime Minister Cen can be sold for thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. Those that can be used as rewards will only be better and not worse. They may be worth tens of thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels. In the capital city You can even buy a nice second- or third-level courtyard!”

"I don't know who is lucky enough to get the painting!" Someone exclaimed.

"Compared with painting, I would rather take Prime Minister Cen's [-] calligraphy book and give it to my boy. My boy's calligraphy is not satisfactory, but he is not willing to practice it. Several sticks have been broken and he has not even started to write. Progress, Cen Xiang's copybook should make him improve a bit!" said a short and fat man.

Is this what people are hearing?
The thin man couldn't help but glance at the short and fat man. Looking at his fat head and big ears, he looked like a fool and sneered, "I'm afraid you are not daydreaming, thinking about shit, just the two taels in your belly." Mo, if you can get acquainted with Prime Minister Cen's things, they are smoked from the ancestral graves, and I want to pick them, regardless of whether they are worthy or not!"

"Don't talk about the top three when you go up, you can get the top 2 rankings, it's God's favor, and you said that I want to get copybooks more than paintings... Why, you think your strength can only get No. [-] One No.[-]!"

"I don't know where the frog in the well came from. Anyone can take the things of Cen Xiang. There is no ink in his stomach, and he is not even worthy of gaining knowledge!"

"You..." Being looked down upon like this, the short and fat man's eyes were burning, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"What about me, I'm telling the truth, look at you, don't say that the ancestral grave is smoking, it's useless!"
