Chapter 1874 The old man with the garden (1)

Thinking about what Mr. Lan said before, Qingshu asked: "Second Brother, last time you said that Brother Fu would tell me something after he became a disciple. Now this matter should be able to be said?"

Grandpa Lan said with a smile: "Don't say I'm keeping it. I didn't tell you before because I promised Qu Kui not to tell this matter out. But now Brother Fu has become a family member of him, so he will not be upset even if he knows it."

A gentleman promises a lot of money, so he naturally has to do what he promises. However, now Qingshu and the Qu family are family members, and saying it is not considered a violation of the promise.

Qingshu was in a good mood today and said with a smile on his face: "Let me guess. Is Mr. Qu who has taken some good book? He just used an alias so outsiders don't know it's him."

Grandpa Lan said with a smile: "Jingen is a clever ghost. I didn't expect you to give in too much. You are right. Qu Kui has written many books over the years. Because he doesn't want to be disturbed by others, he uses alias."

Qingshu was stunned: "Have you been reading a lot of books?"

I am already very good at writing a book. I have learned a lot of books and are definitely one of the best people in the literary world.

The second master also kept it a secret and said, "Then can you guess what his alias is?"

Qing Lenovo's second master said before, Qing Shu asked tentatively: "It's the senior brother, Mr. Qu is not the old man Suiyuan, right?"

The nickname of the old man Suiyuan is a bit strange, but this person is the most famous and mysterious figure in the literary world. He said that his reputation is that he has written seven books so far, among which "Suiyuan Chess Book" is particularly well-written and praised by many people. None of them, this chess book is a phenomenal book in chess, and is famous all over the world for its comprehensive, practical, exquisite, and fascinating. The various exquisite techniques and layouts in it make many chess enthusiasts unable to stop.

Qingshu's chess skills were average, so he just read it roughly and then abandoned it. But Fu Jingen studied this book seriously, and he would buy it as long as the book was reprinted. After going to Fuzhou, he wrote a letter to him to give him a complete set. It can be said that Jingen is a loyal fan of Mr. Suiyuan.

Of course, the other six books of the old man Suiyuan are also well written, but they are not as widely circulated as "Suiyuan Chess Book".

Mr. Lan laughed and said, "You guessed it's right. Qu Kui is the old man in Suiyuan. In the past twenty years, he spent all his time and effort on books. He couldn't free up time and energy, so he didn't accept students. The outside world said that his high vision was actually a misunderstanding of him."

Of course, Qu Kui, who came to become a disciple, didn't like any of them, otherwise Brother Fu might not be the first one.

Qingshu Zhen felt that a huge trap had hit Brother Fu'er on the head. With such a knowledgeable and talented teacher, she no longer had to worry about Brother Fu'er's studies. Although she and Fu Jingen were both good at learning, they were actually not well-educated, and sometimes they were willing but not capable when teaching children.

After calming down, Qingshu asked, "Why don't Mr. Qu use his real name?"

The second old man sighed and said, "I asked such a question when he asked me to help him publish the first book. He said he didn't want to be tired of being famous anymore. Then he told me that it was not an accident that the carriage went crazy back then, but a man-made disaster. Because his reputation was too great, it blocked others' way, so the other party wanted to get rid of him. Fortunately, he jumped off the carriage immediately, otherwise he would have died on the spot."

Qingshu's expression changed slightly and she asked, "Who is it?"

Mr. Lan shook his head and said, "He didn't tell me, and I didn't continue asking. The other party should have died after so many years."

"I agreed to him knowing that he had some difficulties. Later, I found someone to print the books he wrote. I have advised him over the years to let him."

Qingshu smiled and said, "I heard that some people thought you were an old man in Suiyuan at first?"

Mr. Lan nodded and smiled, "Yes, at the beginning, many people thought that the old man Suiyuan was my new alias. But as soon as the "Suiyuan Chess Book" was released, they knew I was not."

Anyone who knows him knows that he is only good at calligraphy and painting, and is not good at chess. A typical book like "Suiyuan Chess Book" must be from a person with excellent chess skills.

"I didn't want to be tired of being famous before, so why haven't I announced it now? I believe that as long as this matter is spread, no one will dare to touch him."

As long as it is confirmed that Qu Kui is the old man in Suiyuan, not to mention ordinary people, even the emperor will treat him with courtesy when he sees him.

The second master said, "He said he would announce this matter to the world, so he would have no peace in the future and he would not be able to continue writing."

"Sir, noble."

There are really few people in the world who are as indifferent to fame and fortune as Qu Kui.

The second master smiled and said, "I used to want Jin'er to be his teacher, but unfortunately he was writing the book "A Brief Discussion on Music Theory" at that time, so he refused to do so."

The second master of Lan Jin was rejected for a long time. Fortunately, he accepted the recommendation of Brother Fu this time, which was considered a regret in his heart.

Qingshu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know about this?"

The second old master shook his head and said, "I definitely don't know, otherwise they wouldn't have had any contact with Qu Kui for so many years. And that woman's temperament of being able to get up early will be promoted if she knows."

Qingshu smiled and said, "I was wondering just now why the Qu family's house was so big, and I thought I bought it with my ancestral property!"

The Qu family is not far from Zhuque Street, where the area is very easy to live in is either rich or noble. The house price is not cheap. The market price of the Qu family's three-entry house costs at least 7,000 to 8,000 silver.

However, since Qu Kui is an old man in Suiyuan, he doesn't have to worry about money. After all, he can't spend all the benefits he gets from those seven books every year in his life.

The second old man said complacently: "I bought his house for him fifteen years ago. After buying it, I will give him the deed."

As for the money for buying a house, it is naturally deducted from the share of the published books.

After talking for a while, the second old man stood up and smiled and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back and have a nap."

Qingshu smiled and said, "Senior Brother, we'll have dinner right away. We'll go back after dinner."

"No, I want to stay here for dinner, your teacher and aunt are going to keep talking nonstop."

Qingshu sent him out of the door and was about to turn around and go back to the yard when he saw Fu Ran's carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Fu Ran looked at Qingshu's eyebrows and smiled and asked in surprise: "Qingshu, why are you so happy? Is Jingen winning another big victory?"

It shouldn't be. If Jingen wins a big victory, she should have received news.

"Teacher, let's talk about this before entering the door."
