Chapter 239 Change Picture
He was picking and choosing in Qingyu Zhai, while Ran Qianxi followed behind him impatiently, waiting to pay.
After walking around for a while, he finally set his eyes on a colorful fan with mountains and rivers. The creatures and plants on the fan looked lifelike, and the rivers, mountains and seas seemed to be winding towards him.
"It's a good painting. Let's take this one."
Ran Qianxi signaled to the waiter to wrap the fan.
"how much is it?"
"This one is three thousand taels."
"Not much?"
Her tone suddenly rose, frightening the waiter so much that he shrank back.
"Three thousand taels..."
Ran Qianxi took the fan disapprovingly and looked it over from front to back.
"What kind of fan is so expensive? It has a gold border."
Waiter: "Miss, this fan was painted by Li Zhengzhong himself. It is said that he likes it very much."
When Ran Qianxi heard the three words "Li Zhengzhong", she felt that the three thousand taels was a sky-high price.
"Do you know what three thousand taels means? It means I can buy a three-courtyard house in the center of the city!"
The waiter nodded and flattered her as he lifted her up.
"Second Miss should not be short of this little money, after all, she can spend a lot of money in the Moon-catching Tower, so she can only make money if she buys this fan..."
"That being said, this was painted by Li Zhengzhong."
Shu Xuanhe came over with a slight smile.
"Second Miss, are you not going to pay for it?"
"It's not that I won't compensate you. It doesn't matter who painted this fan. I've already spent over three thousand taels on him. Come on, I'll take you to find him to paint one for free."
Shu Xuanhe glanced at the sleeve that she was holding, raised his eyebrows and pulled it back.
"Then look at others'?"
"Okay!"
Ran Qianxi readily agreed. The waiter smiled and took the two of them for another walk. Shu Xuanhe picked up another Nine Immortals Dream Fan.
"This one is also good, let's take this one."
"Sir, you have good taste. This is the last fan that Ouyang Zhe painted before his death. It is priceless now. Ruoti Pavilion and Sanxian Pavilion will not be able to see this good thing."
Ran Qianxi glanced at Shu Xuanhe and directly took out three thousand taels of silver.
"Bought."
The waiter looked at the banknote in her hand and took it with some embarrassment.
"Miss Second is generous, but this will cost thirteen thousand taels."
Ran Qianxi turned around suddenly, and the waiter was obviously a little embarrassed. After all, thirteen thousand taels was indeed too much.
"Are you crazy? Are you asking for too much?"
"Oh, I'm not asking for too much. I see that what you have in your hand is also written by Ouyang Zhe himself. I think you know that I didn't ask for too much."
Ran Qianxi curled her lips helplessly, and just as she was about to take out the money, Shu Xuanhe changed his tone.
"It's a bit expensive, why don't you look at something else?"
"That's all you need. Don't show off this kind of artifact in the future. If you do that to someone else, they'll have to pay with their lives."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels.
"Wrap it up."
Shu Xuanhe originally wanted to use this method to force her to take the fan and ask Li Zhengzhong to repair it, but unexpectedly, she paid the ten thousand taels as soon as she asked, and changed her mind when they left the store.
"I don't think this fan looks very good. Why don't you return it and replace it with the Shanhe fan?"
"No need. If you like mountains and water, give me the broken one and I'll ask Li Zhengzhong to see if he can fix it."
Shu Xuanhe smiled lightly and handed over the fan.
"Right on my mind."
In the afternoon, when Wei Zhong felt better, Ran Qianxi went to Li Zhengzhong's house with a fan. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Huai Rufan approaching to greet her with an unfriendly attitude.
"Hey, isn't this the Second Miss? What brings you here?"
Ran Qianxi rolled her eyes at him and went straight into the main hall.
"Have you taken gunpowder?"
As soon as he reached the main hall door, he was stopped by Huai Rufan!
"Who are you looking for, Miss? Your fiancé, Li Zhengzhong, is the only one here."
Ran Qianxi pushed him away and turned to walk towards the study.
"So sick!"
In the study, Li Zhengzhong looked lonely, and his brows were slightly frowned as he looked at the two words "Xunji".
"What are you doing?"
When he heard Ran Qianxi's voice, he raised his head in disbelief and suddenly became fascinated.
"Aqian."
"I have a fan here for you to mend."
She didn't ask why Li Zhengzhong was so lonely, and just wanted him to repair the fan, which made him feel even more helpless and disappointed.
"What are you standing there for? Take a look."
At this time Huai Rufan walked in with anger!
"What are you going to do? Can't you see he's sad?"
"Why are you sad?"
Huai Rufan was speechless for a moment. He walked to the bookshelf, took out a birthday card, and threw it in front of Ran Qianxi with a bang!
"Why? See for yourself why!"
Ran Qianxi picked up the birthday card on the table in surprise, and when she opened it, her expression suddenly became serious.
"this is mine?"
"Yes, otherwise whose do you think it belongs to? I ask you all in the Ran family to come and propose marriage with one voice! Don't let one of you be full of expectations while the other one is dismissive!"
Li Zhengzhong couldn't bear to watch it anymore and tried to persuade them.
"Brother Huai, don't be so angry. It's up to Qian to decide whether to marry or not."
Ran Qianxi sighed and sat down next to Li Zhengzhong.
"Did you come to see me yesterday?"
"Ah."
Li Zhengzhong just said "hmm" lightly, but Huai Rufan felt extremely indignant.
"He looks for you every day but you're not there. Now you bring a broken fan to him to repair. What on earth is your heart made of?"
"I...I have been busy with Baili Yong's appointment as a concubine these days...and the Prince of Jibei...I..."
Huai Rufan: "You don't have to say anything. I have seen clearly that you don't have Zhengzhong in your heart at all. If that's the case, it seems that we are forcing you. You should take the birthday invitation and the fan and leave immediately. I'm sorry that I can't see you off!"
Ran Qianxi looked at him without any ripples in her heart and smiled indifferently.
"What do you mean? It's my fault. The marriage was decided by my parents, not me. What? Are you trying to force me to submit by doing this?"
The tense atmosphere between the two was on the verge of breaking out. Huai Rufan was about to open his mouth again, but heard Li Zhengzhong's heavy sigh.
"Stop arguing and let me see the fan."
Ran Qianxi was also unhappy, but still pushed the fan over.
"Ouyang Zhe drew this, can you fix it?"
"I'll try to fix it."
Huai Rufan rushed out of the door, and Ran Qianxi raised the corner of her mouth with disdain and leaned towards Li Zhengzhong.
"Are you free tonight?"
"Have."
His tone was obviously listless, perhaps he was trying hard to suppress his sadness while repairing the fan for her.
"We are roasting lamb in the Plum Garden of the Yang family tonight. Do you want to go?"
He quickly raised his head at the invitation.
"Can I go with you?"
"Why not? Come on, let's pick out some clothes first. The fan is not important."
After being depressed for many days, he finally smiled again.
"Listen to you."
