Man Yanbing

Knowing that Liu Chiyan had left, King You asked someone to go to Liu's house and find Liu Chengzhou.

Liu Chengzhou counted the days, and before the beginning of the month, You Wang asked him to go over again.He was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to provoke a lunatic like King You, so he had to wipe away his tears and followed the visitors to King You's mansion.

Liu Chiyan learned about this from Kaiyang, but didn't say anything.

Perhaps it was because he confessed too early, the positions of the two brothers in the storybook were completely reversed, presumably all the forbearance and preferential treatment in the book were returned to his younger brother Liu Chengzhou.

This did not cause any disturbance to Liu Chiyan, but he was relieved.He tidied up, took the homework left by Dr. Zhang the day before yesterday, and returned to the Imperial College.

Many people in the Imperial College were discussing what happened yesterday, and they all talked about King You's move to burn down the library.

Some people looked at Liu Chiyan with strange eyes, presumably they learned about the relationship between yesterday's incident and him through some channels.

Although Liu Chiyan didn't have the ability to do it himself, but he couldn't even accept this scrutiny.

He returned to his seat, thinking that Dr. Zhang hadn't arrived so soon, so he casually copied the books he had read in the Hanlin Academy on a piece of paper.

It would be unrealistic to say that he has the ability to see ten lines at a glance and never forget. However, he has always loved books, and when he encounters a book he likes, he will figure it out word by word, and he can remember it better than others.

He first copied some books he liked very much, then opened a book printing house, printed them at a relatively low cost, and then sold them to scholars at a low price.In this way, King You couldn't burn it out even if he wanted to.

To start this matter, you have to find a way to make some money.

Liu's mother left a lot of dowry, but he is a dignified man, and he definitely has no reason to live with the dowry of his elders.

It's just that Liu Chiyan has never been troubled by money since he was a child, so he really doesn't have the idea of ​​starting from scratch for a while.

Perhaps it is still necessary to embezzle some silver money from the Liu family as the principal.

Liu Chiyan was lamenting that a penny can't beat a hero when he saw Dou Yan coming in from the outside.

His eyes lit up.

Dou Yan, from a poor family, raised his own family since he was a child, and supported his mother and several younger siblings while studying. There must be a lot of ways to make money.

Liu Chiyan put down his pen and asked Dou Yan: "How do you usually make money?"

Dou Yan looked at Liu Chiyan, and saw that he was wearing the green shirt that the Imperial College staff had, but it was still hard to hide his nobility.He glanced at the half-silent book on Liu Chiyan's table, and said, "In the past, people copied books, but even if you copy a book, you won't be able to buy back the pen and ink you used."

Liu Chiyan is very particular about what he eats and drinks, and his pen and ink are naturally the best.

Hearing what Dou Yan said, he realized how extravagant he was when he spent money.

Liu Chiyan said: "Then how do you make money to support your family now?"

Dou Yandao: "I patrol Shangshe for the Jiaoyu, and the Jiaoyu will give me some money every month; and the Guozijian itself will also give money for food for the students. I can save a lot and leave a lot for the family, but I don't need it." Going to copy books for someone."

They are all very well-behaved methods, and the money comes in a steady stream, which is not very suitable for Liu Chiyan to learn.

Liu Chiyan sighed.

Dou Yandao: "If you want to make money, I can ask someone to help you pay attention. There are many weddings and funerals in the capital, and people are often invited to write something. Rich people give money very generously, but they may have to compare with others." He saw Glancing at Liu Chiyan who was listening carefully, he added, "If you know how to draw portraits, you can also visit people's houses to draw portraits."

Liu Chiyan was born in a wealthy family, so he seldom knew these ways of the market, so he listened with gusto.

It's not that he has never heard of selling calligraphy and paintings, it's just that he never thought he needed to do that.

After thinking about it, this is a good opportunity to understand people's livelihood and conditions.

From the red and white things, you can see the joys and sorrows of all schools of thought.

Liu Chiyan said: "Okay, you can ask someone to keep an eye on it for me in the future. Please give them money, please?"

Dou Yandao: "They've done it as brokers, so there's a benefit to it." Seeing Liu Chiyan eager to try, he persuaded again, "Autumn is approaching, you'd better prepare for the exam with peace of mind. When you pass the exam, you will be better It's valuable, so there's no need to rush it."

Liu Chiyan smiled and said, "I'm just asking first. I'm not in a hurry. We'll make money together to support our family after we're in high school."

He also explained to Dou Yan his idea that he could understand the living conditions of the people through red and white events, and he felt that even if they met people who couldn't afford the money, they could occasionally bring their own pen and ink to eat.

Hearing what Liu Chiyan said, Dou Yan also felt quite reasonable.

"Okay, let's go together in the future."

Dou Yan agreed.

At the same time, Liu Chengzhou has arrived at Prince You's Mansion.

He is still playing the piano for King You through the gauze curtain.

King You sat there with his eyes closed, listening to Liu Chengzhou playing the familiar qin music.

As the sound of the piano floated into the inner room, he seemed to be re-experiencing the past, from the bird he strangled to the person he killed for the first time, they came to him in turn.His life was poured out with blood.

Since he was 15 years old, he has been a feared killer.

He was also soft-hearted.

Once he was going to let a child go.

Then the kid took out a dagger and stabbed it in his chest.

Thanks to the location of his heart is different from others.

He survived, the child died.

From then on, he knew he couldn't trust anyone.

A killer like him can deter those who have different intentions only if everyone fears him.

He doesn't need unnecessary kindness, unnecessary wavering, and unnecessary affection. As long as his status is high enough and his sword is sharp enough, he can grab everything he wants.

...The same goes for Liu Chiyan.

Liu Chiyan should be his.

That evil spirit wanted it at the beginning but didn't dare to want it, so don't even think about getting a share of it again!

King You opened his eyes amidst the sound of the piano, his mind was extremely clear, and he was no longer affected by the evil spirit.

Thinking of the light kiss that fell on Liu Chiyan's eyebrows, he sneered, and decided to get rid of the evil spirit completely in the future, and must tell Liu Chiyan that he had successfully seduced him before, and the evil spirit wanted to enjoy him too. body of.

"okay."

Liu Chengzhou, who was outside the You Dynasty, gave orders and asked for the rewards given to him to be delivered.

Liu Chengzhou boldly asked: "I, can I not want these rewards?"

King You sat there, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Liu Chengzhou said: "I want to borrow a few books to go home and copy them, and I will return them to you when I come back next time."

There is no response inside.

King You stood up and walked outside through the heavy gauze curtain.

He stopped in front of the piano table with his dragon-patterned boots, looking down at Liu Chengzhou from a height.

Liu Chengzhou trembled inexplicably.

"copy?"

King You looked at Liu Chengzhou coldly.

"Who copied it for?"

Liu Chengzhou muttered, "I, I will copy it for myself."

Seeing Liu Chengzhou's flickering eyes, King You suddenly remembered that Liu Chengzhou was still wearing Liu Chiyan's clothes yesterday.

The relationship between these two brothers is really good. In the past, Liu Chiyan asked this younger brother to bring the curtain fence to play the piano, and this younger brother was obedient.

I remember that in that absurd and stupid story book, no matter what kind of torture this kid suffered, he never betrayed his brother.Or the truth revealed by the son of the Marquis of Changyang!

Thinking of the two brothers seeing each other day and night, and even changing clothes, You Wang looked at Liu Chengzhou with a bit more sinister eyes.

Brothers and friends respect each other, love each other, right? Great!

"This king doesn't like to hear people lie." King You ordered coldly, "Come here, drag him to the confinement room and hang him for three hours, so that he can behave better next time."

Liu Chengzhou's face was as pale as paper.

Just by the name, you know it's not a good place.

King You is so moody, my brother must have suffered more terrible torture after confessing his falsehood?When he thought about it, he put on a white face and let others take him to that dark and terrifying confinement room.

Liu Chengzhou's book boy was originally guarding the door, but after hearing King You's order, he was almost frightened. He used the excuse that he was going to the toilet to find an opportunity to sneak out of Prince You's mansion to explain the matter to Liu's father, but Liu's father happened to pick up a foreigner. Poor, I went out to do some errands!

The book boy had no choice but to go to the Imperial College with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, to see if Liu Chiyan could save the second young master.

He doesn't know what the confinement room of Prince You's Mansion looks like, but he knows what it's like to be in confinement in general. It will be a dark place with no light at all. If it is hung up again, there will be some snakes, insects, rats and ants in the darkness. There is nothing you can do if you climb over it.

That's just horrible!

How can the second young master's small body hold it up?

Shutong is not a member of the Imperial College, so he can't get into the Imperial College at all, and he is in a hurry outside.Gao Tai, who came out to help Liu Chiyan buy snacks, recognized him, so he told Gao Tai the whole thing.

Hearing that the matter was related to King You, Gao Tai originally wanted to send the book boy away, but after thinking about it, he led the book boy into the Imperial College, where he found a suitable place to talk and let him wait first.

Gao Tai went to bring Liu Chiyan over by himself.

When Liu Chiyan heard that King You had hung Liu Chengzhou to the confinement room, his expression changed.

He asked carefully what happened to the book boy, and only then did he realize that Liu Chengzhou was so stupid to borrow books from King You.

Although King You is a lunatic, he has insight beyond ordinary people.Like yesterday, he just tried to contact the second prince, You Wang knew that he intended to switch to someone else.

It's just that he didn't expect You Wang to be so cruel to his real savior.

Liu Chiyan asked Kai Yang to help him take a leave.

After all, he couldn't just watch Liu Chengzhou suffer that kind of torture because of himself.

Liu Chiyan soon returned to Prince You's Mansion.

He went directly to King You who was wiping the blade.

Seeing Liu Chiyan hurriedly looking for him, You Wang put down Jian Qi and said, "You are not a good student in the Imperial College, why did you come to find me?"

Liu Chiyan didn't know how to speak to Shangyou Wang's nonchalant expression.

King You stepped closer, grabbed his wrist and squeezed it to play with, and said, "Let me guess, you are here for your younger brother?"

Liu Chiyan said: "Yes."

King You said: "Today, I must lock up one person in my confinement room." He leaned over and spoke in Liu Chiyan's ear, his scorching breath seemed to burn a fire in Liu Chiyan's ear, "If you are willing to replace him Go inside and stay for three hours, then I will let him go, what do you think?"

Liu Chiyan quieted down.

King You was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for Liu Chiyan to make a choice.

"……I do not want to."

After a while, Liu Chiyan answered with a struggling face.

Listening to Liu Chiyan's answer, King You couldn't help laughing.He raised his hand and stroked Liu Chiyan's tender lips: "If he hears you say that, will he regret admiring your brother so much?"

Liu Chiyan said: "I have never been very close to him, we rarely see him on weekdays, so there is no love for him."

King You said: "If you don't get close, give him your clothes. If you get close, don't you have to share the same bed?"

It was only then that Liu Chiyan realized that the admiration King You talked about was not brotherly love.

He felt that King You's idea was simply unimaginable!

Liu Chiyan frowned and retorted: "He and I are half brothers!"

Seeing Liu Chiyan's obviously annoyed expression, King You knew that he really only regarded Liu Chengzhou as a concubine who was not very close, so he asked someone to release Liu Chengzhou.
