Chapter 266: Cheating

Su Mingjue suddenly felt like he was stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

He licked his lips and said, "Dad, this Ling Yunfeng is the best. It is very popular among people in the capital. One tael is worth thousands of gold."

Su Shiqian was unmoved, lowered his head and concentrated on reading the painting, "Oh, is that right? Then you are a tea flower. How much silver did it cost?"

Su Mingjue responded quietly in her heart: It cost him a full five taels of silver.

For Su Mingjue, who was short of money, this was not a small amount of money.

But what he just said has been spilled out, and I'm afraid he won't be able to take it back.

He insisted: "I asked my friends in the capital to get this tea. It has a price but no market."

Su Shiqian raised his eyelids and glanced at him, as if to examine the authenticity of his words.

Seeing that there was hope, Su Mingjue opened some of the tea leaves in his hand, put them directly into Su Shiqian's hands, and began to boast, "Look at the quality of this, how good it is!"

Su Shiqian didn't pay attention to it at first, but he took a wrong look at it. The boy actually gave me something good.

He shifted his gaze from the painting and looked at the tea leaves in his hand. They were dark in color and tender in texture. He lowered his head and sniffed and smelled a refreshing fragrance. It was high-grade tea.

His bastard son finally paid attention and didn't fool him.

When Su Mingjue saw that Su Shiqian was looking at him seriously, he knew that the other party was interested in him.

It seems that the tea was sent right.

Su Mingjue pursed her lips and was about to get to the point.

Su Shiqian took the tea leaves in his hand and put them in his collection cabinet, and then said in a calm tone: "Don't think that because you brought good tea, I won't hold you responsible for coming back without permission."

As he said this, he squinted his eyes and looked towards Su Mingjue, "Tell me! What did you do again? You even skipped classes all the way back from the capital."

Su Mingjue: "..."

Can you not have that stereotype? He, Su Mingjue, is the kind of person who gets into trouble.

Su Mingjue shook his head firmly, "I don't have one." Su

Shiqian looked at him with disbelief.

Su Mingjue was too lazy to explain to him. After he paused for a moment, he went straight to the point: "I was assassinated when I came back this time."

Su Shiqian's face did not change much when he heard this, and he did not speak.

Su Mingjue looked at the other party's indifferent look and emphasized again, "Dad, did you hear me? I said I was assassinated when I came back this time."

Su Shiqian looked at the painting in his hand and said lightly: "I don't have any ears. Deaf, I can hear what you said."

Su Mingjue was furious when he heard this, "Then you heard it and didn't react at all."

"What kind of reaction do you want?" Su Shiqian glanced at Su Mingjue lightly and said, "Aren't you doing well? "

What?" Su Mingjue was stunned when he heard this. He had thought that his father was unreliable, but he did not expect that he was so unreliable.

His son was being targeted, but he looked indifferent.

For an instant, Su Mingjue had the urge to doubt whether she was his biological son.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You are so eager to be a father!"

"Otherwise, it's not me who killed you. What do you want from me?"

As expected, Su Shiqian's spirit is to be many years ahead of others! This has already

happened, and yet he is still like this. The unchanging expression on Fu Taishan's face before the collapse.

Seeing that the people in front of him were in a hurry and refused to continue, Su Mingjue decided to break the rules and said, "Dad, I have to tell you seriously, the last time I came back from the capital, Rong Zheng showed up once when he took me overland, and there was a field holiday. I was intercepted and killed on the way back to the capital. Counting this time, this is the third time I have been assassinated. Why do you think this is?"

Seeing that Su Shiqian still didn't speak, Su Mingjue thought to himself and said, "I am a scholar. I have never had any enmity with anyone. The problem should not be with me. "

"Apart from this, the only thing that makes people care about me is my identity as the legitimate son of the King of Jinling. Dad, do you think it is for this reason that others want to get rid of me. "I"

Su Shiqian glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father and I are just an idle prince with a different surname. Who would care about you?"

"My child, I am also very strange. If not for this reason, it may be that you have enemies. That's why those people would assassinate me again and again, right?"

"What are you thinking about? If your father had enemies with me, you would have been assassinated countless times when you were a child. How could you live as well as you do now?"

"Speaking of your childhood . "Dad, what happened when I was five years old?"

Su Shiqian looked slightly unnatural when he heard this, but quickly returned to normal, "What happened?"

Su Mingjue noticed the subtle changes in Su Shiqian's expression and said, "In recent days, I feel like my mind is groggy, and from time to time some things that have happened before come to mind, but the strange thing is that I can't remember them clearly, there are only fragments of memories, as if I have lost my memory,"

Su Shiqian said lightly after hearing this He scoffed: "I think you have some time to spare! I still remember what happened when I was a child. When I was a child, I thought I was a great hero."

Su Mingjue was about to say a few more words, but Su Shiqian waved his hand directly, "That's all, I just don't want to. Do you want me to punish you? I assassinated you and you were a child. Today I am in a good mood. I got a good painting and a good piece of tea. I won’t argue with you. You can kneel down in the ancestral hall and reflect on it all night!"

Su Mingjue : "..."

He really didn't think so.

Su Shiqian waited for a moment and saw Su Mingjue still standing there. He raised his voice and said, "Why do you still need a stick to serve me?"

Su Mingjue coughed lightly and said, "I'm short of money recently. Father, please give me some!"

Su Shiqian ignored him. , glanced at him and said: "If you want to be whipped, just stay here longer."

Su Mingjue was not afraid at all when he heard this. He found a chair to sit down and said lazily: "Dad, grandmother and mother should I don’t know if I was assassinated three times on the way! What would they think if I told them about this?”

Su Shiqian angrily reprimanded: “You have grown up and dare to threaten me. Are you not afraid that I will really Use the family law."

Su Mingjue said indifferently: "Then father, you should be more concerned about my assassination than this grandmother!"

Su Shiqian took a breath, looked at Su Mingjue and said, "How much do you want?"

Su Mingjue smiled and stretched. Three fingers came out.

"Three...bai", Su Shiqian glanced at it and took it back. He was about to say three hundred, but when the words came to his mouth, thinking that his rebellious son wouldn't have such a small appetite, he reluctantly changed his words: "Three thousand taels for myself." Go to the accounting office to get it."

Su Mingjue shook his head, "Dad, it's not three thousand, it's thirty thousand!"

"How much, thirty thousand taels!"

Su Shiqian's heart suddenly surged after finally calming down, "Su Mingjue, you still said you didn't have it. If you get into serious trouble, just ask for thirty thousand taels! Did you know that these thirty thousand taels can be used to cover three years of tax revenue in some counties?"

Su Mingjue knew that Su Shiqian would be excited, but he didn't expect to be so excited.

He played with the corner of his clothes and said, "Dad, it doesn't matter if you don't give me the money. I will talk to my grandmother and mother about the assassination."

Su Shiqian looked at his son with a headache and said "badly" to the side, and said angrily: "These thirty thousand taels are not a small amount of money. Your father and I are not that rich."

Su Mingjue opened her innocent eyes and said: "But dad The "Horse Picture" I just bought is worth 5,000 taels! Daddy must have a lot of such good things in his warehouse! I think I can get it all by pawning six or seven pieces."

"Su Mingjue, you... "

It wasn't Su Mingjue who forced Su Shiqian. In fact, Jiangnan is a rich land. His father is the highest official in Jiangnan. If he doesn't have money, who will have money?"

Moreover, his ancestors had always been from a prominent family, and his father had countless shops, fields, and various businesses, including antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.

This thirty thousand taels was nothing to his father, Su Shiqian.

In the end, Su Shiqian endured the pain and agreed, counting six banknotes from the drawer on the side and throwing them over, "Go away, don't let me see you again."

Su Mingjue bent down to pick it up with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Dad. The kid must listen to dad and promise not to bother you."
