Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Only the newcomers are smiling, but not the old ones...
When Xu Yunfan came down from the hall, he saw this scene.
Suddenly... damn, what are these two guys doing by being so close to each other?
You can't play it like this.
Homosexuality is not popular here!
Xu Yunfan forced his way in and pushed Jiang Yunshen aside with a push of his arm. "What are you doing?"
"Yunfan, you're back from class. Yunshen is teaching me how to paint." Qin Run was obviously very happy, and was smiling.
Cloud depth?
Just two days, and you're already calling each other brothers?
Xu Yunfan turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yunshen. His face suddenly turned pale. Why did this guy look at his husband in a way that made him feel uncomfortable?
Could it be that Jiang Yunshen wants to poach his girlfriend?
It’s no wonder Xu Yunfan thought this way, but the look in Jiang Yunshen’s eyes when he looked at Qin Run was so intriguing.
Jiang Yunshen smiled and praised Qin Run, then glanced at Xu Yunfan meaningfully. "Well, Run'er is doing very well. He's really good. Your husband won't teach you how to paint, so you can come to me in the future. I wouldn't dare to say I'm that good at this, but in the entire Qingfeng Academy, I don't think there's anyone better than me."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
This is too much of an exaggeration. Jiang Yunshen really should not be judged by appearance. He brags even more than Jiang Yunshen himself. Do you really think he is dead?
Or is it that Jiang Yunshen is so self-aware that he knows he is not as good as himself?
So you dare to call yourself second?
Qin Run said modestly, "No, it's because you taught me well that I can learn so quickly. You are already very good. In this academy, which teacher has better painting skills than you?"
Qin Run, who spoke fluently, just asked out of curiosity, not to praise Jiang Yunshen.
I think President Jiang is very knowledgeable, but that is not necessarily the case when it comes to painting. The other teachers must also have their own strengths.
Jiang Yunshen was very proud and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's my uncle. In Qingfeng Academy, whether it's the teacher or the students, my uncle's painting skills are unparalleled. Although I am not as good as my uncle, the other teachers are still slightly worse than me."
Xu Yunfan on the side was speechless.
Did Jiang Yunshen think he was joking?
He is not only good at arithmetic and bragging, but also very good in other aspects. He is an all-round talent standing here. How can Jiang Yunshen have the nerve to brag like this in front of him?
The two of them chatted back and forth like soulmates who had met too late, completely forgetting Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan: “…”
My goodness, he has fallen out of favor.
Seeing Jiang Yunshen smiling so brightly and happily, Xu Yunfan suddenly remembered a saying, 'You only see new people laughing, but not old people crying'.
Now, this 'old friend' of his has been forgotten by Qin Run in a corner, no one cares about him...
Before he could finish his self-pity, Qin Run "secretly" hooked his little finger with Xu Yunfan's, "Yunfan, are you hungry? I asked Uncle Fang to make you some chicken soup that you like. Do you want to go and have some?"
"I'm not hungry yet." Xu Yunfan shook his head.
"Is that so? Then I'll take Yun Shen to have some drinks. Come over when you're hungry."
As he spoke, Qin Run took the crutch that Xu Yunfan had made last night and walked towards the kitchen with Jiang Yunshen.
The "out of favor" Xu Yunfan: "..."
If he had known this, he would have been hungry.
Isn’t it just painting? Who can’t do it? This little thing can’t stump the almighty prince.
In order to show off in front of Qin Run, Xu Yunfan went out without even eating.
Your husband wants to learn painting?
With such a powerful and almighty husband like him around, is there any need for anyone else to teach him? Seeing Jiang Yunshen's smug look just now, Xu Yunfan was not convinced. Today, he was determined to dampen Jiang Yunshen's spirit.
He would go out to buy some pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, and go back in the evening to teach Qin Run a lesson so that he would know that Jiang Lanfang was no match for him at all.
After buying the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, Xu Yunfan was just about to head towards the academy when he suddenly saw a handsome man riding a white horse coming from the front, followed by a dozen sword-wielding attendants.
Xu Yunfan felt jealous after just a quick glance.
Wow, this brother riding in front is really showing off his wealth. He is wearing a silk and satin suit, which is embroidered with exquisite yet simple and elegant clouds and waves. There is no need for too many beautiful words that require careful reading to understand. In short, this man's clothes are not enough to be described as exquisite and luxurious.
On the man's waist, there is a green jade pendant hanging on a golden belt as wide as his index finger. You can tell at a glance that it is very expensive. Conservatively speaking, if you don't have one thousand taels, you probably won't even be qualified to touch it.
The man's long black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a jade crown, which made him look both elegant and heroic.
Thinking back to when he was still a young prince, let alone how nice his clothes were or how expensive his clothes were, at least he had no shortage of sports cars and cruise ships. Now, let alone sports cars, he doesn't even have a piece of jade on his body. Look at other people, just look at their outfits, I wonder how many years they must have worked hard to be able to wear things like that.
Xu Yunfan felt a sour taste in his mouth and pursed his lips, not wanting to look any further. After all, the more he looked, the more sour he felt. So why would he look a few more times? He might as well just go back and weld the wall shut.
As Xu Yunfan walked along, the sound of horse hooves behind him rang intermittently in his ears.
Maybe it was difficult for the other party to drive the horse in the downtown area, but when he left the downtown area and headed towards Qingfeng Academy, the sound of horse hooves could still be heard from time to time behind him, not far away.
Could it be that it’s on the way again?
Xu Yunfan turned into another path, and the people behind him also turned into another path.
Xu Yunfan: “…”
My goodness, could it be that this guy wants to rape him because of his good looks?
But these are just my own guesses.
Xu Yunfan simply turned around, stepped aside and didn't leave.
Seeing the young man glance at him and reluctantly step aside, Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel amused. A smile appeared on his face as he controlled the reins: "Excuse me, are you Master Xu Yunfan?"
Hearing the voice, Xu Yunfan looked up, feeling a little proud. Has his reputation become so famous?
Even someone like this knows him.
"I am. I wonder who you are?"
Qi Xiuyuan smiled and dismounted, "Little Brother Xu, seeing is believing. When my younger brother wrote to you, he praised you as the best in the world. I used to think it was an exaggeration, but now that I've seen you in person, I realize you were being modest. Little Brother Xu is truly a good-looking man."
"That's right. I have to say, you have good taste." Xu Yunfan boasted, curling the corners of his lips in a rebellious manner, and said modestly without being too serious, "Actually, I'm not as good as you say. I'm just a little taller. But, compared to my extraordinary appearance, I actually hope that you can see my inner strength and ability that far surpass my appearance."
After hearing the beginning, Qi Xiuyuan and the dozen or so guards behind him thought that Xu Yunfan was really being modest. However, they didn't know that perhaps this young man didn't know what modesty was at all.
But it must be said that getting along with Xu Yunfan was inexplicably relaxing. "Little Brother Xu, do you know who I am?"
"certainly."
Xu Yunfan is not stupid. If he can't guess the identity of this person based on the two words "brother" and "letter", plus the "money" on this person, then Xu Yunfan would have had such a smart head in vain.
"Brother Xu is really smart." Qi Xiuyuan praised politely.
Xu Yunfan had been smugly putting his hands on his hips, but after receiving the compliment, he shook his head with one hand, "No, no, being smart is just a minor advantage of mine that's not worth mentioning."
Qi Xiuyuan's mouth twitched: "..."
This man was indeed as confident as his brother said, but in Qi Xiuyuan's opinion, this was no longer ordinary confidence, but a confidence that far exceeded ordinary and was extremely shameless.
"Really? You're really amazing then. Brother Xu, you should know why I came here, right?"
"Of course, I'm such a smart person, there's no way I don't know this. If there's anything, let's go back and talk about it." Who would talk about business standing on the roadside?
Xu Yunfan brought Qi Xiuyuan back to the cafeteria. Since there was no one else to serve, he could only serve the food himself. "It's a small place, there's nothing good to treat you. Second Young Master Qi, please don't despise it."
Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table that he had never seen before, how could Qi Xiuyuan dislike them?
"No, did you make all these foods by yourselves?" Qi Xiuyuan had traveled a lot after all, so he had seen all kinds of food. Even if he hadn't eaten some of them, he had seen them before.
He was sure that he had never seen the food that Xu Yunfan brought before, so he picked up the soft and glutinous Snow Meringue and tried to take a bite.
Wow, after swallowing it, Qi Xiuyuan immediately fell in love with the taste.
"What is this? The contents are very delicate and sweet."
"This is Xue Mei Niang. Our cafeteria also has food that is unique to Yun Run Shop."
"I see, this stuff is delicious, and these candies are beautiful too." Qi Xiuyuan said sincerely, "My younger brother is in the academy, thanks to Brother Xu for taking care of him."
Although they had just arrived in Qinghe Town today, the first day of the year, they were far away in the capital and were not completely unaware of Qi Xiu Ze's affairs.
The person in charge of keeping an eye on Qi Xiu Ze said that Qi Xiu Ze and his friends treated Xu Yun Fan like their own family. They helped with some work every day, and not only that, they would eat and drink to their heart's content, but they would also pack a portion to take home after each meal.
"No, they have helped me a lot. Second Young Master Qi should know the conditions for cooperating with me!"
"I know. You said you would sell it to our Qi family at one penny per piece, and we are not allowed to sell it for more than three pennies. Our Qi family can definitely do this. Here is the deed I brought with me. Brother Xu, please take a closer look."
Qi Xiuyuan took out a contract from his collar and handed it over. This contract was the final template that the three of them, the Qi family father and son, decided on after discussing and invalidating three contracts.
It can be said that the various clauses in this contract have already given Xu Yunfan the greatest benefits.
Xu Yunfan read the terms of the contract one by one. The more he read, the more satisfied he became, but also the more shocked he became. The Qi family actually gave him such a huge profit.
The Qi family bought goods from him, each candle cost one cent, and the Qi family sold it for three cents, but by the end of the year, Xu Yunfan could still get a 2% dividend from the Qi family.
This alone is enough to prove the Qi family's sincerity in this cooperation.
Xu Yunfan nodded in satisfaction and signed his name confidently. However, he said, "As for the follow-up matters of the cooperation, I don't know if Xiu Ze has told you yet. Now that I am a teacher, I will also participate in the imperial examinations in the future. Therefore, I will hand over all matters in this regard to my husband. When the time comes, you can just coordinate with him on these matters."
"Okay." Qi Xiuyuan didn't care whether the person he was dealing with was Xu Yunfan's father or his husband, as long as both parties did not violate the terms of the contract.
While Xu Yunfan was reading the contract, Qi Xiuyuan wanted to have a taste of it, but when he reached out to touch it, he found nothing. Then Qi Xiuyuan realized that Xu Yunfan had eaten all the food he had placed on the table.
Qi Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed, "Brother Xu, how much stock do you have now?"
Xu Yunfan said, "About 100,000. Are you going to get them today?"
One hundred thousand candles, it sounds like a huge number, but for Qi Xiuyuan, it is still not enough. "Is this all there is? It's still too little."
Once these candles appear on the counter, each candle costs only two cents, and with the advance publicity by the Qi family, the royal merchants, these candles will definitely be sold out, and there will not be enough to sell.
Qi Xiuyuan planned to transport this batch of candles to the capital first, to make them well-known in the capital, and then distribute them to various stores one by one.
So, 100,000 units are simply not enough to sell.
Xu Yunfan: "If you think it's not enough, then you have to wait a few more days. I'll go back and have someone make another 100,000 for you."
