Fengxian Jiangshan

()Compared to Yang Du, who is aloof and lofty, Yang Shiqi is more easy-going, and he is very polite when talking to anyone, but Yang Shiqi also has a sense of superiority in his bones. .

For a vulgar martial artist like Zhang Zuolin, Yang Shiqi didn't pay attention, but had to socialize.Zhang Zuolin gave him a gift in person, which made Yang Shiqi feel a little contemptuous. Wufu really doesn't know the rules. Is this kind of place a place for gift giving? No matter how expensive the gift is, he can't accept it.

"Mr. Zhang, the things you take out must not be of ordinary quality. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others like. I am already very satisfied just by looking at it."

Yang Shiqi's words were obviously refusing to accept this gift, and he just looked at it. He opened the wooden box casually, and was a little surprised when he saw that it was not an ordinary calligraphy and painting, but a handkerchief-sized stack of silk books.

He thought that Zhang Zuolin would definitely spend a lot of money to buy some paintings such as Tang Bohu and Zhu Da. Although such things are expensive, he has seen a lot of them and has no interest at all. However, the silk books in front of him surprised Yang Shiqi. The experience, judging from the texture of the weaving, is something from the Song Dynasty.

Gently unfolding a corner, Yang Shiqi saw three words: Chen Yue Ti.Yang Shiqi's mind flashed quickly, and suddenly a thought came to him, Yang Shiqi trembled unconsciously as if he had received an electric shock.

He was not in a hurry to open the silk book, but respectfully put it back into the wooden box, then closed the lid, and hugged it in his arms, for fear of any damage.Others also noticed Yang Shiqi's strangeness, and everyone became interested, Duan Zhigui asked: "Xingcheng, what kind of treasure is it, let's open your eyes together!"

Yang Shiqi didn't speak, but asked Congren to move a large desk and put it in the middle of the hall, where the light was the best. Like a devout believer, he put the wooden box in the middle and put white gloves on his hands .

He opened the wooden box, took out the silk book, and slowly unfolded it. After reading a few lines, Yang Shiqi suddenly raised his head and closed his eyes, as if trying to calm down his excitement. He whetted his appetite, wanting to know what kind of treasure it is.

"Gentlemen, have you ever heard of Su Dongpo's poem: cursive script is not for learning to chat and amuse yourself, and you call Zhou Yuenu before you write?"

Everyone present had a blank expression, only Yang Du's eyes were shining, and he asked in surprise: "Xingcheng, is this Zhou Yue's calligraphy?" Yang Du also walked quickly to the front of the table, Watch carefully.

A pair of silk scripts surprised Yuan Shikai's two advisers, and everyone became more and more interested in this mysterious silk script.

"Everyone, most of the calligraphy in the early Song Dynasty inherited the style of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties without much change. After the rise of the four Song schools such as Su Huang Mi Cai, the calligraphy of the Song Dynasty had its own characteristics. There was a gap of about 70 years. Calligraphy Art also pays attention to inheritance, the four schools of Song Dynasty will not rise suddenly, there must be a link between the past and the next, and this person is Zhou Yue, but his works have not been found for many years, seeing the authentic works today is really a lifetime of comfort!"

After Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he turned around and gave a deep salute to Zhang Zuolin to express his gratitude.

Many things are worthless in the eyes of laymen, but in the eyes of insiders, they are priceless.He would not lose his composure even if he put ten thousand taels of gold in front of Yang Shiqi, but this Zhou Yue's ink stain completely captured Yang Shiqi.

When Zhang Tinglan saw Yang Shiqi's performance like this, he secretly gave Wang Yongjiang a thumbs up. This Zhou Yue's authentic work was provided by Wang Yongjiang.He is also a scholar, so he naturally knows what literati like. This thing fills a gap in the 70-year history of calligraphy, and its value cannot be measured by money. As long as people who really like calligraphy are hard to refuse.

"Mr. Yang, you are too polite. Zuolin is a martial artist. I still don't know what it is. People often say that treasures have spirits. It seems that Zuolin is destined to be just a passing god of wealth. This thing can only be kept in Mr. Yang's possession." In the hands, it is worth the money!"

Speaking of this, Yang Shiqi no longer wanted to refuse, he took Zhang Zuolin's hand and said, "Yuting, you are a blessed person, don't worry!"

Yang Shiqi made a double entendre, expressing Zhou Yue's authentic work, but secretly telling Zhang Zuolin that he would help to speak.Lao Zhang is so perceptive, he naturally understands the meaning of the words, Lao Zhang is also very happy at this time, inside and outside, Lao Yuan's close people have accepted his gift, so he is not afraid that they will not do things for him.

While everyone was admiring Zhou Yue's calligraphy, another person came. It was the British Minister Zhu Erdian, Yuan Keding and others who immediately went out to greet him. They gave enough courtesy to the Supreme Emperor who represented the British Empire.

Zhu Erdian has served as a minister for many years and is the most experienced China hand. He has a keen sense of the changes in China's political arena, so he also actively contacts with various forces in order to make a correct judgment.

His participation has improved the quality of the banquet a lot, and everyone is drinking and drinking, and their interest is getting higher and higher.It was also the first time for Zhang Zuolin to attend this kind of gathering, and there was novelty everywhere. When he was looking around, Liang Shiyi suddenly walked over.

"Mr. Zhang, you have extraordinary skills. A pair of Zhou Yue's ink marks made Yang Xingcheng fascinated. I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to know calligraphy and painting."

"Secretary Liang, how do I understand this? It's just a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse."

"Mr. Zhang is humble. Your ability is far more than that. I heard that this time you gave the eldest son 20 rubles. There are not many people who directly send foreign currency. You are the first. People often say that I am the God of Wealth." Lord, I think Mr. Zhang is the real God of Wealth, he has the ability to turn stones into gold!"

Although Liang Shiyi said this compliment, his tone was obviously provocative, and Lao Zhang felt a little uncomfortable immediately, and said coldly: "Liang Caishen is absurd, Zuolin is just a vulgar person, and he doesn't understand economics!"

"Don't understand economics? But Mr. Zhang understands people's hearts! You have figured out other people's idiosyncrasies." Liang Shiyi continued to run on Zhang Zuolin with words, and he did so mainly because of jealousy.

Liang Shiyi and Yang Shiqi are at odds, and they have been fighting for power, but they have been overwhelmed. Now Zhang Youbao only knows to give it to Yang Shiqi, but he doesn't think of him, Liang Shiyi, so he feels dissatisfied. Zhang Zuolin's trouble.Lao Zhang was naturally unhappy, but he still didn't know how to answer Liang Caishen correctly.

At this moment, Zhang Tinglan came over: "Secretary-General Liang, I have heard for a long time that you have good financial management and are the right-hand man of the President, but I don't know how Mr. Liang thinks about the word credit?"

Zhang Tinglan opened his mouth suddenly and kicked the ball back, Liang Shiyi's eyes flashed with displeasure: "Young man, Mr. Liang has been managing money for many years, and is he still using a junior to dictate?"

"Mr. Liang, of course I don't dare, but I have heard that since ancient times, there is a distinction between making money and accumulating money. Making money is the way to benefit the country and the people, and making money is the way to harm the people and the country. I don't know why Liang Gong gave up the way." And take the trail?"

Liang Shiyi's run on Zhang Zuolin has already attracted the attention of others, so everyone is unconsciously looking this way. Now Zhang Tinglan suddenly speaks, accusing Liang Shiyi of accumulating money, and even labeling it as harming the people and the country. Everyone is here Interested, wanting to see how the play goes, Yang Shiqi and Yuan Keding also came over.

Especially Yang Shiqi had just received a heavy gift, and took it back to sit and watch Liang Shiyi bully others, so he came over and looked at Liang Shiyi coldly.Liang Shiyi was slapped in the face by a junior in public, and his heart was also burning with anger.

"Junior, how much do you know, how dare you talk nonsense and slander Liang. If you can't make sense, don't blame Liang for being rude!"

"Mr. Liang, the excessive issuance of banknotes has caused all the credit of the transportation company to be lost. You know how much the value of the notes has depreciated. This currency is originally a medium of exchange and circulation. The sudden depreciation has greatly reduced the wealth in the hands of merchants and people, and many people have gone bankrupt. Isn't that right? Is it harming the people? Since our country is known as the Republic of China, the people are the first in the country, and the people are harmed. Wouldn’t it be wrong for the country in the end?”

Zhang Tinglan's continuous questioning just hit Liang Shiyi's sore spot, and his face immediately darkened. Of course he knew that what he did was to drink poison to quench his thirst, but in order to please Yuan Shikai, he no longer cared about anything.

Seeing that Liang Shiyi's complexion became like a pig's liver, Zhang Zuolin was very happy. He had enough confidence in Zhang Tinglan. This kid could play foreigners with applause, and he was just a Liang God of Wealth.

Old Zhang simply crossed his legs, drinking tea and watching the fun at the same time.Yang Shiqi felt relieved when he saw that his old enemy was deflated, as if he had eaten ice cubes in the dog days.

"Young man, when the God of Wealth is weak, don't be rude."

Although Yang Shiqi accused Zhang Tinglan on the surface, he was actually saying that Liang Shiyi was poor in donkey skills. Liang Shiyi couldn't tell, his fat face was trembling, and his triangular eyes were squinting, staring at Zhang Tinglan fiercely.

"Junior, since you dare to accuse me of accumulating money, then you have the ability to make money. If you can find a way, Liang will admit it. If there is no countermeasure, just play tricks, let's bring the lawsuit in front of the President, Liang will also I am not afraid of you!"

Zhang Tinglan looked calm and relaxed, cupped his hands at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone who is here to attend the banquet today is a person of high morals and high prestige. There are endless business opportunities among us. As long as we are willing to work hard, we will be able to find money." Why rely on oppressing the people to make money!"

"Boy, don't you want to take advantage of everyone's power to give you power for personal gain, that's still to make money!" Liang Shiyi couldn't help sneering, he obviously didn't believe Zhang Tinglan's words.

Zhang Tinglan ignored him, but got up and walked to Zhu Erdian's seat. The British minister was full of sighs. Liang Shiyi was also Yuan Shikai's confidant, but he had no gentlemanly demeanor. He even quarreled with a young man. His quality was really not high. .

"Sir Jurdin, I would like to ask you to see something, and I hope you will allow me."

"Young man, your words are very sharp, but do you think I have the so-called business opportunities in me, which can realize what you said to make money?" Zhu Erdian smiled and said, "I am a British diplomat, and I don't want to interfere with you and Liang. Dispute between sirs."

"Mr. Sir, this is not a battle of feelings, but a business opportunity for the British government to save tens of millions of war expenses. I don't think you will miss it!"

While talking, a young guard ran over quickly holding a tray and placed it in front of Zhu Erdian.
