The two walked all the way to the county seat. It was the same as the other day. On the opposite side of the same teahouse, Jiang Mo took out a picture scroll and let Liu Hong hold it after unfolding it. Birds facing the phoenix.

The scroll is very long, and the paper used is precious white deer paper. The surface of the paper is as white as snow, which is the most suitable for painting. It is also thanks to Liu Hong who is tall and sturdy. When holding the painting, his arms are fully stretched to the extreme, so that people can see the content of the painting at a glance. If Jiang Mo himself is replaced, I am afraid that such an effect cannot be achieved at all.

Every bird in the painting is vivid and colorful, especially the bright red phoenix in the middle, which gives people a luxurious and atmosphere, as if it will jump off the paper at any time, and suddenly It attracted countless passers-by to stop and watch.

"Is this painting too beautiful?"

"Well, it must be very valuable!"

Everyone looked around for a long time, and no one had the courage to ask the price. They had never seen such a lifelike painting. Just looking at it, they knew that it was definitely worth a lot.

Jiang Mo did not show any anxious expression, but just waited calmly.

Finally, a man in a Confucian robe couldn't help but ask, "How much is this painting?"

"Five hundred taels." Jiang Mo quoted an astonishing price without blinking.

The surrounding people gasped when they heard the words, and even Liu Hong's hand couldn't help shaking.

"I think you're crazy about money! Do you think this is the capital? Five hundred taels of silver, even if you wait until the end of the world, no one will buy it!" The man who asked the price angrily walked away.

The crowd of onlookers also shook their heads and left. In their opinion, Jiang Mo is really whimsical. If this place is the capital, maybe there are dignitaries who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this painting, but this is Lin'an County, which is located in a remote place. The land is also barren, and it is not easy for a big guy to eat enough, let alone spend five hundred taels of silver to buy a painting.

Jiang Mo didn't care at all, the old god continued to wait on the ground, bought a few meat buns in the middle, and shared it with Liu Hong.

"Brother Jin, shall we just wait like this?" Liu Hong felt a little uneasy. He didn't understand the effect of selling paintings. Could it be that he wanted to use money to make the county magistrate change his mind?

"Don't you believe me?" Jiang Mo raised his head and looked at Liu Hong, his eyes as clear as autumn water.

"I believe you." Liu Hong said earnestly, word by word, and continued to hold the painting without asking any more questions.

Jiang Mo's heart was sweet, and he couldn't help but bring a smile on his face.

"Two little brothers, our young master would like to invite the two of you to go upstairs and sit down." At this moment, a man dressed as a servant came to them, pointed to the restaurant opposite them, and could see the restaurant on the second floor. The private room window is open.

"Okay." Jiang Mo agreed without a word, helped Liu Hong to put away the painting, and then followed the man into the restaurant.

After entering the private room, Jiang Mo and Liu Hong saw a familiar young man in Huafu, the one who spent ten taels of silver to buy the peony picture from Jiang Mo last time.

"It's you?" The young master Huafu also recognized Jiang Mo and Liu Hong.

"Under Liu Jin, I met Young Master Li."

Li Gongzi was not surprised to be recognized. After all, their Li family is the number one wealthy gentleman in Lin'an County. It is not surprising to recognize him, and looking at this huge Lin'an County, they are willing to spend money to buy this painting. It was only their Li family.

"How do you sell this painting?" Li Gongzi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Five hundred taels." Jiang Mo reported the price he had thought of for a long time.

Li Gongzi pondered for a moment, and then agreed, "Yes, but can I trouble this little brother to tell who the painter of this painting is?"

This Young Master Li is obviously a person who loves to paint. The last picture of peony was amazing enough, and this time the picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix is ​​more in line with his wishes. Recently, his aunt was about to celebrate her birthday, and he was thinking about how to give a gift. His aunt never lacked treasures. The gifts were either novel enough or sincere enough, and this painting happened to satisfy both. Now, as the saying goes, there is nowhere to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

And Li Gongzi also became interested in this painter and wanted to make friends with him. It would be convenient to find him when he needed it in the future.

"It's far away from the horizon, and in front of you." Jiang Mo smiled and cupped his hands.

"It's you?" Li Gongzi raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to seriously look at the young man in front of him. He really did not expect such an amazing painting to be painted by this young man. "Who did you learn from?"

"Although I came from a farmer, my parents loved me and sent me to a private school since I was a child. My husband often praised me for being smart, but I love painting more than reading, and I developed my own painting skills."

"Oh?" Li Gongzi looked suspiciously at the young man in front of him, obviously a little skeptical that he could figure out such excellent painting skills without any guidance.

"If you don't believe me, you can show it to the son next time." Jiang Mo said, and took out a charcoal pen from his arms, "Also ask the son to take a piece of white paper."

Li Gongzi nodded slightly, and a servant walked out, and after a while, he retrieved a blank piece of paper.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Mo picked up the charcoal and began to paint.

After a few strokes, Young Master Li couldn't help but stand up, and when Jiang Mo stopped writing, he was full of amazement.

"God!" Li Gongzi couldn't help but picked up the painting and held it beside Liu Hong. The figure on the painting was clearly defined, like looking in a mirror.

Liu Hong only felt his heart beat faster, and when he looked at the young man beside him, he felt the urge to pull people into his arms regardless of everything.

"Liu Gongzi's painting skills are really amazing, I admire him." Li Gongzi took out a five hundred taels silver note and handed it to Jiang Mo. The name of Jiang Mo has also changed, obviously he has some thoughts To be on good terms with him.

"Young Master, wait." Jiang Mo didn't accept the silver note, but bowed his hands again and saluted, "I have something to ask for, if Young Master is willing to help, this painting will be given to Young Master as a thank you gift."

"Oh?" Li Gongzi raised his eyebrows slightly, "I would like to hear the details."

Li Gongzi did not agree immediately, he needs to hear what the other party wants him to do first.

Jiang Mo quickly announced that he and Liu Hong were already engaged, and then the people from the county magistrate's family came to press the matter.

"My heart is happy with Liu Hong, I just want to be with him for a lifetime, and I don't want to be a concubine. I heard that Young Master Li and Young Master Chen are on good terms, and I hope Young Master Li can talk things out for you."

Li Gongzi really never thought that what Jiang Mo asked was for this matter. This matter is simple and simple, and difficult to say.

The son of the county magistrate Chen is a slut who is addicted to beauty and only enjoys pleasure. It is not easy to get him to give up the meat to his mouth. It is necessary to let the magistrate Chen speak, but his Li family is still a few in Lin'an County. Dividing face, it is not difficult to let the county magistrate Chen accommodate one or two, but he needs to owe a favor.

Merchants are chasing profits, in order to befriend a painter, offend the county magistrate son, and owe a favor from the magistrate, is it worthwhile?

Li Gongzi thought for a moment and then said, "I'm just a white body, I'm afraid I'm busy..."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Mo suddenly interrupted Young Master Li's words, and took out a cloth bag from his arms, "I know that it would be presumptuous to rush to Young Master Li for help, so I specially prepared a gift and asked Young Master to accept it with a smile."

Li Gongzi looked at the cloth bag casually, and when he saw the contents of the cloth bag, his breath stopped.

"Is this true?"

This cloth bag contained a ginseng the size of the palm of an adult man's hand. It looked like a small man and was full of spirituality. Ginseng is known as the life-saving fairy grass. The older it is, the stronger the medicinal properties. From the appearance of this ginseng, it can be concluded that it must be an old ginseng that is more than a hundred years old, and it happens to be what he needs most!

"That's natural." Jiang Mo said earnestly, "I also ask your son to fulfill your sincerity."

"It's so sincere, I'll help with this, and I'll make you a friend too!" Li Gongzi suddenly laughed loudly, "In Li Qian, you can keep this jade pendant, and come to Li's house when you have time. find me."

"Thank you, Young Master Li." Seeing that he finally agreed, Jiang Mo's face finally showed a relaxed smile.

"Come here, please take a seat, the two of you didn't invite the two of you to drink a pot of hot tea after entering the door for so long. It's really rude." Li Gongzi called the second shopkeeper in a very good mood and asked him to make a cup of tea. The good hot tea on the pot, and some delicate snacks, dragged Jiang Mo and Liu Hong, and chatted for a while, before ordering the servants to hire a carriage to send Jiang Mo and Liu Hong away.

When they got on the carriage and returned to the village, Liu Hong finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jin, he promised to help, but is it really useful?"

Liu Hong also learned from the dialogue that Li Qian was the son of the richest man in Lin'an County, Mr. Li's family. Although his family was rich, he was only a family of merchants. How could he compete with officials? Although the county magistrate Chen is only a seventh-rank sesame official, he can walk sideways in Lin'an County, so he feels that Li Qian's words may not work.

"It's useful, don't worry." Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes and smiled like a little fox.

With the cheating device of the system, he knows the progress of the world like the back of his hand. Even though the Li family is only a wealthy gentry, the family has been in business for generations, but in fact he is the confidant of the current prince and the prince's silver bag.

Although Lin'an is located in a remote location, it is very close to the border, so it is very convenient to do business and listen to some news. The Li family has always been low-key, and the county magistrate Chen is incompetent. The Li family only needs to spend some money to open the door of convenience. Therefore, in Lin'an for many years, no one knows the details of the Li family. Li Qian didn't want to offend the county magistrate who was as small as a needle for the trivial matter of Jiang Mo, so as not to delay the prince's major affairs, but this ginseng made him change his mind.

Now that winter is about to begin, the queen hurt her body when she gave birth to the prince, and the prince was weak. Every year, the prince would buy high-quality ginseng to cook soup and medicine for the queen to replenish her body. However, every year, this good ginseng is becoming less and less popular. Seeing the prince frowning, the appearance of this century-old ginseng is too timely.

Compared with the queen's phoenix body, what Jiang Mo asked for is really not worth mentioning.

If the county magistrate Chen insists on looking for trouble with the Li family for his bastard son, the magistrate's position will be replaced by someone else.
