When Fang Yi saw the stack of banknotes in Zhuge Qingyun's hand, her eyes changed slightly, and she couldn't help but whisper to Zhuge Qingyun: "Brother Qingyun, how come you have so much money?"
According to Fang Yi's estimation, the pile of silver notes in Zhuge Qingyun's hand was at least ten thousand taels of silver. Even Prince Mu's Mansion couldn't get out such a large amount of money, not to mention that he was just a guest of Prince Mu's Mansion.
Zhuge Qingyun heard this and replied with a smile: "I found this money accidentally when I was hunting bears last time."
Fang Yi heard Zhuge Qingyun's words and instantly understood the meaning of his words, which meant that these banknotes were found from Wu Yingxiong's house.
"Since someone is treating me, I won't be polite!"
After Liu Fei finished speaking, she was not polite to Zhuge Qingyun. She not only selected a few pieces of jewelry that she liked, but also stuffed a dozen pieces of jewelry into the hands of A Ke and A Qi.
"Senior...Senior sister, this is a little bit bad, isn't it?"
Akko and Aqi looked at the jewelry in their hands. Although they really liked it, they felt it was a bit hot to hold.
After all, Ake and the others have only known Zhuge Qingyun for a short time. It would be too exaggerated to let them spend so much money to buy jewelry for themselves!
Zhuge Qingyun noticed the tangled expressions on Ake and the others, smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, these are windfalls anyway, as long as you have fun."
Mu Jianping and Fang Yi were a little embarrassed at first, but now that they saw A Ke and other outsiders being so rude, they naturally stopped being polite to Zhuge Qingyun and quickly picked out their favorite jewelry.
Although Zhuge Qingyun told A Ke and the others not to be polite to him, they were actually quite polite. The five of them bought more than 30 pieces of jewelry in total, which in total only amounted to more than 3,000 taels of silver.
After Zhuge Qingyun paid the bill for Ake and the others, he immediately said to the owner of the jewelry store: "Boss, I have something to trouble you with."
When the owner of the jewelry store heard this, he quickly said with an attentive look on his face: "Master, please give me your instructions."
Judging from the indifferent expression on Zhuge Qingyun's face when he paid the bill just now, the owner of the jewelry store knew that this was an owner who was not short of money, so of course he wanted to firmly hold on to this big customer.
Zhuge Qingyun said: "I have a couplet here that I got accidentally, but the words in this couplet are written in the languages of other countries.
I really want to know what the second couplet of this couplet is? So I plan to place the first couplet in front of your store. If anyone can guess the second couplet, I am willing to pay him a thousand taels of silver as a reward."
When the owner of the jewelry store heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly smiled and said: "I see, I will have someone prepare pen and ink for the young master."
For the owner of the jewelry store, what Zhuge Qingyun asked him to do was a good gimmick. He could just take the opportunity to promote the name of his jewelry store, so he naturally would not refuse Zhuge Qingyun's request.
After the jewelry store owner had prepared all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Zhuge Qingyun wrote a line of large characters that they did not recognize under the curious eyes of A Ke and others.
When Liu Fei saw the lines written by Zhuge Qingyun, a smile flashed deep in her eyes, because these words were clearly simplified Chinese characters that would only appear in the future.
Moreover, when Zhuge Qingyun wrote these simplified characters, he also deliberately reversed the order of the fonts. Only people who really know simplified characters can understand the meaning of this line of characters.
"The word Young Master is really beautifully written. I will ask someone to help Young Master frame this couplet and hang it in the most conspicuous place at the door." After the owner of the jewelry store complimented Zhuge Qingyun, he quickly ordered the clerk to buy it.
.
"Then I'll thank you, boss. If someone can really guess the first couplet, please give the boss these thousand taels of silver to him. I'll be here in a few days."
After Zhuge Qingyun finished speaking, he took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it to the owner of the jewelry store.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely help you get things done." Upon seeing this, the owner of the jewelry store secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took the banknote with a smile.
With the banknote given by Zhuge Qingyun, the jewelry store owner doesn't have to worry about him going back on his word. Otherwise, if someone really counterfeits the couplet and he doesn't accept it, then wouldn't the jewelry store owner have to pay for it?
Did you go out on your own?
After arranging this matter, Zhuge Qingyun took Ake and the others out of the jewelry store and continued to travel around the capital.
…
Because Zhuge Qingyun left the "upper couplet" in front of the jewelry store, whoever found the lower couplet could receive a bonus of one thousand taels of silver, so it attracted the attention of many literati and common people.
Under the publicity of these people, this matter quickly spread throughout the capital, and also reached the ears of actors hidden in major forces.
In the inner courtyard of the Wu Mansion, Yuan Qingfeng looked at the note in his hand, touched his goatee and said, "Sure enough, another actor did it. It's quite interesting."
The note in Yuan Qingfeng's hand was copied by a servant in the mansion according to the "First Couplet" on the door of the jewelry store, and he understood the meaning of the "First Couplet" at a glance.
Although this "first couplet" only contains a few words, it shows the time, place, and the intention to join forces.
To be honest, after Yuan Qingfeng saw this "Part 1", he did have the idea of joining forces with other actors.
Since Wu Yingxiong was assassinated, although Wu Sangui did not blame Yuan Qingfeng on the surface, but allowed him to continue to stay in the capital, responsible for commanding the guards of the Wu Mansion, and secretly collecting important information about the capital, but he knew very well in his heart that Wu Sangui must have some thoughts in his heart
dissatisfied.
It's just that Yuan Qingfeng and the others still have value for use, so Wu Sangui doesn't cause trouble for them. Once they lose their value for use, I'm afraid Wu Sangui will settle the score afterwards.
Yuan Qingfeng is just an actor himself, and he is not really loyal to Wu Sangui, so he doesn't mind joining forces with other actors. In this way, even if Wu Sangui really turns against him, he will still have a way out.
The most important thing is that Yuan Qingfeng does not know what the other actors think. If the other four actors choose to join forces and he does not go, then he will definitely be targeted by the other four actors.
Although the company strictly prohibits actors from killing each other, it does not mean that it is really safe. After all, if you want to kill someone, you don't necessarily have to do it yourself.
Therefore, even to protect himself, Yuan Qingfeng must follow the information left by Zhuge Qingyun and go to the meeting place to explore the truth.
At the same time, the two actors hidden in the palace also learned the information left by Zhuge Qingyun and made a decision similar to that of Yuan Qingfeng.
