Cheng Chubi glared at this delinquent prince who dared to laugh at him in person.
I really have the urge to slap him in the face with the sole of my shoe.
Li Ke seemed to realize how dangerous it was for him to laugh at the old Cheng family in person.
He quickly coughed twice and put on a serious expression, sat down in front of Cheng Chubi, and looked at this brother carefully.
"Could it be that my brother met that martial lady again today?"
"See you, what? What does it have to do with you?" Cheng Chubi said unhappily. Can you stop being such a gossip? It's official business. Do you understand what official business is?
"Of course it doesn't matter, but as brothers, I have to care about you, right..."
Li Ke looked very calm on the surface, but in his heart he began to make crazy associations.
Cheng Laosan, I'm afraid he secretly has a crush on Mrs. Wu, otherwise, why would he get furious when I ask him?
Hmm... He looked very righteous today, claiming to be on official business, but he came to ask for a portrait painting. Could it be...
Could it be that he drank too much at Lao Cheng's house and accidentally boasted, exposing his private treasures?
No, let's hold it steady first and ask him before confirming.
Li Ke picked up the lotus seed soup brought by the maid, and after thinking about it, he just gave a spoonful to his mouth.
I heard Cheng Laosan, who was sitting opposite the case, put down his bowl. "Please, please add another bowl."
"???" Li Ke raised his head with a dark look on his face. He looked at Cheng Sanlang who had drained the bowl of lotus seed soup in one gulp and was still unfinished.
God damn, add another bowl. Do you think that my handsome little maid is the waiter?
The little maid's eyes widened in disbelief. This third son of General Cheng made her understand for the first time that drinking lotus seed soup only requires three steps.
Pick up the bowl, pour it, put it down... Hey, it only takes two steps? Could it be that the third step is the phrase "have another bowl"...
"Xiaodie, go quickly and give Mr. Cheng a little extra." Li Ke ordered helplessly.
After the frightened little maid left, Li Ke lowered his voice furtively.
"Actually, little brother, there are quite a few here.
As expected of the old Li family, it seems that Li Ke is a collector just like his father.
Think about it, Uncle Li worked hard to collect treasures from all over the world, even willing to trade a crystal bottle for a glass urinal.
Although Uncle Li does not understand the actual price of glass urinals, it at least proves his strong collecting habit.
As for Li Ke, it would be great if there were suitable portraits.
If you want to come to your door to ask for help, let tut tut tut...
Master Yan, who clearly has the temperament of an artist at first glance, might rush forward with a trick of a bastard punch and splash blood after five steps.
Of course, the mighty and majestic Cheng Laosan was very confident that the blood would never be his own.
Therefore, Cheng Chubi thought about it, among the brothers around him who chopped off chicken heads and burned yellow paper.
The only one who seems to be relatively well-educated and whose artistic accomplishments can rival him is probably Li Ke.
Li Ke suddenly took a deep breath and looked extremely shocked.
Looking at the man in front of me, Cheng Sanlang has a taste that exceeds his imagination.
Cheng Chubi took the bowl of lotus seed soup handed to him by the fair-faced maid, drained it in one gulp, and turned his face away.
Then I saw Li Ke's stunned expression, with a shocked and distorted expression.
He couldn't help but be a little confused. "I'm a Dexian brother, why are you looking like this? Is there something wrong with me?"
"No, no, no." Li Ke quickly shook his head and drank two spoonfuls of lotus seed soup to calm down.
"Well, there are animals..."
"No need, just people." Cheng Chubi waved his hand. He was most impatient to deal with this kind of half-hearted man who was knowledgeable, rich, and talented.
"Oh..." Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Laosan seemed to be a person with a bottom line.
#####
"I'll take you there now, and you can choose your own later. Don't worry, these are definitely top-quality products."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and hurry up, I have to rush."
"You...why don't you look like you're asking for help?" Li Ke suddenly felt unhappy.
Cheng Chubi chuckled. "Okay, how about we talk about the bet first?"
"Oh, brother Chu Bi, look at you, we are just brothers who chop off chicken heads and burn yellow paper. We are always raising money for what we do. Let's go, let's go, hurry up..."
When I arrived at Li Ke's study, I saw two maids with picturesque eyebrows and slim figures, dusting and sweeping inside.
When he saw Li Ke coming, he quickly bowed his body and bowed, and said delicately, "I've met His Highness, and I've met Third Young Master Cheng."
"Well..." As the man who is most like Uncle Li in the old Li family, Li Ke has always been a gentleman towards women.
He nodded and smiled softly, and said warmly, "I have something to do with Mr. Cheng, so please wait outside the house first and then continue cleaning later."
The two maids agreed obediently and raised their watery eyes, scanning the beautiful face of His Highness the King of Shu and the heroic face of Cheng Sanlang.
Then he moved to the outside of the house and stood guard, muttering softly.
"Compared to his two older brothers, Cheng Sanlang is much more handsome."
"Yes, but it's not as good-looking as our Highness..."
"Of course. Did you see that His Highness smiled so sweetly at me just now?"
"Haha...how do you know I'm smiling at you? It's obviously aimed at me..."
The two little maids had sweet smiles on their faces, tit for tat, and secretly scolded each other as a scumbag.
#####
Neither Cheng Chubi nor Li Ke noticed the dangerous little girl fighting openly and secretly outside. At this moment, Li Ke walked to the bookcase and picked up a small bronze pot.
Then the spout of the pot went down, and a key fell out. Li Ke picked up the key and raised his eyebrows proudly.
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel deep admiration. "My dear brother, you are so smart, you actually thought of such a good way to hide the key."
"Haha, even if you are a little brother, you still have to have some privacy of your own, right?"
While talking, the proud Li Ke squatted in front of the couch, reached in and dug several times, and then pulled out a large wooden box.
Then he patted the lid of the box with satisfaction and raised his eyebrows proudly towards Cheng Chubi. "These are my treasures, little brother."
"Moreover, they are all written by masters. They are absolutely extremely realistic, and some of them can even reach the point where every detail is realized."
Cheng Chubi looked at His Highness the King of Shu, whose smile was obviously a bit unserious, and as he buried his head in unlocking the door, he always felt that something was wrong.
