Chapter 99 really was written by Fusheng?
It's just a few drinks on credit, and you're coming to my house to collect the debt?
Do I look like someone who defaults on debts?
Do I, He Zhongting, have no pride?
He glanced at the shrewish wife in his house, whose face had remained ashen ever since she heard the news, and then at the servant in front of him who was always bringing up the most sensitive topics.
He Zhongting was furious.
Now it's all good!
The truth has come out!
"Li Donglai is, after all, the richest man in China. I have some personal connections with him. Does he really need a few dollars for drinks?"
"They're even coming to our house to collect debts!"
"besides!"
"Didn't I write a calligraphy piece for your restaurant? Isn't that enough to offset the debt for the drinks you owe?"
Faced with He Zhongting's relentless questioning, even the servant sent over was sweating profusely.
"Mr. Situ has already sent someone to take that calligraphy down."
After saying that, as if remembering something, he immediately took out a rolled-up piece of Xuan paper from his bag and placed it in front of He Zhongting.
He Zhongting didn't even need to look at it to know that it was the calligraphy he had left at the hotel.
His expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
"This is outrageous!"
"Situ Changqing, how dare you deceive me!"
"I'm going to confront him!"
He Zhongting slammed his fist on the table and rushed out of the hall.
Sitting upright in the armchair, Shen Jun smiled and asked, "Zhongting, where are we going?"
He Zhongting, who had just stepped out the door, immediately stood at attention, turned around stiffly, and said with a dry laugh, "Madam, I'm going to go and argue with Situ Changqing. I'll be back in a bit."
Don't try that on me.
"You think I can't see through your little tricks?"
“I trust you to find Situ Changqing.”
"As for whether it's a theory or just another chance to get a drink, that's another story."
Indeed, no one knows a husband better than his wife.
In fact, He Zhongting's apparent anger was entirely an act.
He just wanted to find an excuse to slip away.
Otherwise, I might have to recite the wife's code of conduct later!
The thought of a nearly 100,000-word treatise on wifely duties sent chills down He Zhongting's spine, even with his exceptional talent.
“Go back and tell Li Donglai that if he wants to buy the land in Cuizhu Mountain, he should come and talk to him in person.”
"Don't waste too much time on my husband. I'm the one in charge of the Shen family."
Shen Jun looked at the servant with a cold expression.
The servant who was sent there almost walked out of the Shen family mansion with his legs trembling.
This was the first time in his life he had encountered a woman with such an intimidating aura.
That's terrifying!
"Madam...I..."
"I'll settle the score with you later. How dare you sneak out to drink behind my back."
Shen Jun wore a warm, gentle smile.
But the more things seemed this way, the less confident He Zhongting felt.
I have a feeling that this time, simply reciting the wife's code of conduct won't be enough.
We have to copy it!
…
"They really left?"
"Yes, I heard they even returned it to them."
“That’s He Zhongting’s calligraphy.”
"It seems like another one has been hung up."
"Could it be that Mr. Situ has made a move? Let's go, let's go take a look!"
The news that He Zhongting's calligraphy had been rejected quickly spread within the industry thanks to a tip from someone with ulterior motives.
He Zhongting's calligraphy has always been praised by scholars and writers in Huazhou, and it is said that even a single character is worth a thousand gold pieces and is hard to come by.
It's just the cost of a few drinks!
If you give me that calligraphy, I'll pay double... no, ten times the price!
A group of busybodies rushed to the restaurant and took a closer look.
Good heavens!
The crowd was packed in layers!
After finally squeezing through the crowd, I saw a calligraphy scroll hanging in front of the door.
[Returning from flower viewing, the horse gallops swiftly; the effects of the wine wear off slightly as dusk falls.]
The handwriting is quite good.
But not as good as He Zhongting.
This point doesn't need to be exaggerated or glorified at all.
After all, anyone with a certain level of appreciation can give a comparative evaluation.
Many people felt deeply sorry.
Returning He Zhongting's calligraphy in exchange for this piece is like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.
But some people don't think so.
Some things cannot be judged solely on appearances.
They know perfectly well who owns this restaurant.
They also knew who had sent someone to return He Zhongting's calligraphy.
Situ Changqing!
How could the top strategist of the Li Group do such a stupid thing?
"Returning from flower viewing, the horse gallops swiftly; the wine's effects are slight as the horse gallops swiftly."
"When the effects of the alcohol wore off, it was already dusk; when I awoke, it was already dusk, and I returned home to admire the flowers."
I don't know who spoke up.
The scholars and writers present subconsciously pinched their chins and pondered carefully.
Upon reflection, someone's eyes lit up.
Soon, many people gave a thumbs up.
"good!"
"What a beautiful poem!"
"Absolutely amazing!"
…
The news quickly reached the Shen family mansion.
Now, what lies before He Zhongting are three pages of paper.
The first page shows a copy of the Tsumabushi (a type of sagacious woman).
