Li Yi was deeply impressed by this young man named Qian Duoduo.
After coming to this world, he only worried about money twice.
The first time was when I first arrived in Liuyezhai. In order to have enough food for my family, I ran around every day and tried various methods; the second time was when Miss Liu was injured in Fengzhou. In the case of a penny, thousands of taels of silver are needed to buy medicine.
Fortunately, these two crises have survived safely. The first time he thought of many ways to make money, including selling paintings, candied haws, Ruyilu, etc., and the second time it was because he met the boy of good fortune.
Wealth boy.
If he didn't spend a lot of money, he couldn't have so much money to buy those precious herbs, and Miss Liu's illness couldn't be cured so quickly.
Although they paid the money and delivered the goods at that time, Li Yi still owed him a penny in cash back.
This owes five years.
He doesn't like to owe favors, especially to men, and he doesn't like to owe money.
At first, Qian Duoduo thought this young man was very familiar. Although he had never seen him before, he felt a sense of intimacy when he first saw him, as if they had known each other for many years.
Until he heard his voice, until he caught the penny.
He finally understood that the person in front of him was the brother who had had a great impact on his life and pulled him from the wrong path to the right path.
In this life, there are two people who have had a great influence on him.
The first is his father, who gave birth to him and taught him how to be a qualified businessman.
The second is the brother in front of him. He helped him regain his confidence when he was at the lowest point in his life, and let him find the direction of life.
He sat down opposite Li Yi, looked at the penny in his hand, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Brother, have you ever heard of Nine Outs and Thirteen Returns?"
In a pawn shop, the monthly interest is 10%, and the value of ten taels, the pawnshop only pays nine taels, which is called "nine outs"; ".
What Qian Duoduo meant was that when he owed one penny, after five years, he would have to pay back more than one penny.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Do you know what will happen if a fat man falls from upstairs?"
"Become what?" Qian Duoduo shook his head in doubt.
"Fatty."
After Li Yi explained it to him, he looked at Qian Duoduo again and asked, "Have you ever heard of nine out and thirteen returns?"
Qian Duoduo shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
…
No one knew about the relationship between the Lin family and the Li family except for a few people.
But the relationship between the Lin family and the Qian family is well known throughout Qi.
Outsiders don't know who is richer, the Lin family or the Qian family. Anyway, there are few families who are richer than the two of them. In recent years, from a small Fengzhou city, they have overcome all obstacles and made their business one of the best in the whole country. To the extent, the Lin family and the Qian family have supported each other in the past few years. To be precise, when the Lin family was still a small family, the Qian family began to use family resources to spare no effort to support the Lin family. Later, the two families went hand in hand, mutually beneficial, Step by step, he became the two giants in the Qiguo shopping mall...
Fengzhou, where the Lin family is located, is Zhao Yi's territory. Li Yi only asked him to take care of the Lin family at the beginning, but he did not expect him to be so sincere, and within a few years, he pushed the Lin family to this position.
Among them, the Qian family contributed a lot.
Li Yi has heard from Lin Wanru that the Qian family has provided a lot of assistance to the Lin family from the very beginning. The name of the God of Wealth is well-deserved. Five or six years ago, he made his business the largest in Fengzhou. In the past few years, he followed When the third prince arrived in the capital, he made his business the largest in the Qi country. Even the current Lin family is not as profound as the Qian family.
And Qian Duoduo, as the only son of the God of Wealth, naturally attracted much attention.
However, what attracts the most attention to him is not the background of the Qian family, nor his extraordinary business talent.
Rather, whenever he went to a place, the local well-known talented scholars and scholars would tremble with fear, and some famous ones would even stay away from him and not appear within a ten-mile radius of him.
On the contrary, brothels and Chu halls all over the world are very welcoming to him.
This is not only because he spends a lot of money and often spends a lot of money, but also because he knows the legendary "Jing Guo's No. 1 Talent". This matter has become a consensus in Qi.
Qian Duoduo was once famous in Qi State for more than a dozen excellent poems. Although he later learned that those poems were written by others, this "other" was not just someone.
That is the number one talented person in Jing State, his poems are not only widely spread in Jing State, but also known by everyone in Qi State.
Zhao Xiuwen, the poet of the State of Qi, once said bluntly in public: "Today there is only one stone, Li Yi monopolizes eight fights, I get one fight, and the world shares one fight."
Although the possibility of Zhao Xiuwen boasting after drinking is not ruled out, making Zhao Xiuwen, who has always been extremely conceited about his talent, say such words shows how much he admires the "No.
What's more, Li Yi's poems, almost every scholar in Qi State has a copy, and no one is qualified to refute Zhao Xiuwen's words until someone makes more and better poems than him.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Qian Duoduo, because his poems are all given by others.
At first, many scholars showed a very disdainful attitude towards this, labeling Qian Duoduo as a "big bag", "plagiarism dog" and "shameless".
Later, for some unknown reason, no one dared to say that anymore. Now, Qian Duoduo is no less than a ghost in the hearts of officials and literati. It is said that several famous talents in Liuzhou heard that he had arrived. After Liuzhou, he escaped from the city overnight and lived in a hut...
Li Yi didn't know all this until later.
In the end, Qian Duoduo didn't dare to play the trick of nine times and thirteen returns with him, and discussed something with Lin Wanru on the other side.
Lin Yong looked over there, then looked back after a while, shook his head, and said, "Young Master Qian, that's really strange..."
Lao Fang also looked over there, and said in surprise: "Why is it so strange, apart from getting a little fatter, what's so strange?"
"You don't know..." Lin Yong looked at him, shook his head and said, "Mr. Qian was in Fengzhou at that time, and he was always the object of ridicule by scholars. Everyone looked down on him. He was a joke in Fengzhou City..."
"I don't know what happened later. When those scholars met him, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. He always avoided walking. He also seemed to have changed his temper. He used to hate scholars the most. Now where is there poetry? Knowing how to speak, wherever there are scholars, he will drill there... "
Generally speaking, people's character is not static, but it is not without reason to change.
A major setback or a major turning point in life will lead to a sudden change in personality.
Or meet a mentor in life, guide him in the direction of life, light a lamp, and illuminate the way forward...
Li Yi didn't know why Qian Duoduo's personality became like this, but looking at him now, it was much better than being bullied and swallowing his anger back then.
As for those scholars' sudden attitude towards him, I don't know if it has something to do with other things.
In the early years, Lin Wanru wrote to him, occasionally mentioning some strange things in Fengzhou City.
For example, a certain well-known talented scholar was found in the streets early in the morning, naked, with only a loincloth covering his body, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his body was covered with footprints.
Not to mention, during those days, the quality of scholars in Fengzhou City declined as a whole. Almost every day, talented people who went to brothels without giving money were picked out in public at poetry fairs; It's not uncommon for things to come to your door...
Seeing little knowledge, even the scholars who should have the highest quality are like this. Zhao Yi has only focused on fighting for the throne these years, ignoring the management of Fengzhou...
Running around naked in the street, going to whores without paying, abandoning their wives and children...
The world is going down, the world is going down...
