The Gong Mo Quan selection competition is in full swing. In order to increase his chances of winning, Qi Jiu specially arranged for Wang Cuiqiao to invest in Chen Mo. In this way, whether Li Mo or Chen Mo is running, he can win, and Qi Shuai's military resources can be successfully completed.After repeated deliberation by the ink testers, Tian Mo, Chen Mo and Li Zhen were finally the top three.However, Li Mo's Songyan ink was only ranked third and was rated as a first-grade ink. Chen Mo and Tian Mo were equally ranked and both were rated as super-grade ink.The Li family held a ceremony in front of the ancestral hall to welcome Yipinmo.Li Jingdong could not afford to kneel down, thinking that he was useless and had failed his ancestors.Li Zhen persuaded him that he had already won the title of Yipin Mo when he ran for the first time, and believed that Li Mo's time to be glorious again would soon come.
At the ink selection site, all the ink testers held their own opinions and couldn't argue for a long time. Master Yan also had a hard time making a choice. He didn't know which one to choose as the tribute ink.At this time, the emperor's master Qinghe Immortal, who had a childish face and white hair, came to the scene accompanied by Tian Ronghua. He almost didn't look at it and appointed Tian Mo as a tribute. Master Yan naturally did not dare to disobey him. He also expected Immortal Qinghe to say a few nice words for him in front of the Holy Master and let him return to the capital as soon as possible!Seeing that a tribute to Mo Quan, which was supposed to be strictly selected, ended like this, Qi Jiu left in anger.Chen Sanye was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground when he came out.
The Tian family framed the words “Mokui” and hung them high. Tian Huaian was very excited, thinking that the Tian family would be shining on the lintel.He ordered that a feast must be held to entertain Immortal Qinghe and Lord Yan.Tian Ronghua returned to her hometown honorably, and it was precisely because of her that the Tian family won the honor of tribute, so everyone in the Tian family respected her.During the dinner, the Tian family showed great respect to Immortal Qinghe, but Immortal Qinghe said that among Hui ink, only pine smoke ink is the best.Tian Benchang hurriedly reported that there was a pine plague this year, so pine smoke ink could not be developed.Seeing that Immortal Qinghe was a little disappointed, Tian Ronghua hurriedly offered to accompany him to Qiyun Mountain for inspection. Immortal Qinghe held Tian Ronghua's hand affectionately and praised her as a well-behaved child.
Qi Jiu's investment in the Chen and Li families failed, and Qi Shuai's military resources were also lost. Therefore, he was punished and no longer served in Qi Shuai's army.What made him most dissatisfied was that the Tian family had taken advantage of this tribute to Mo Quan to become more prosperous. The great hatred of his father, brother and aunt had not been avenged. How could he be willing to do so?Wang Cuiqiao was very worried about him, so she told Li Zhen about his situation.Qi Jiu was in a daze by the river. Li Zhen found him and encouraged him based on his own experience that any setbacks were temporary and he should not lose confidence.Then he took him back to his home. Seeing the table of delicious food prepared by Li's mother for him, Qi Jiu was not polite. The happy atmosphere of Li Zhen's family also made him feel the warmth of home. He couldn't help but think of his father and brother.
With worries on his mind, Qi Jiu soon drank too much and refused to leave, thinking that this was his home.The next morning he woke up from Li Zhen's house and was about to leave in a panic. Li Zhen smiled and asked him where he was going. Qi Jiu said that he was a shareholder turned long-term employee and was going to work in Lijia Mofang.Due to the need to repair the burned ink workshop, Li Zhen and Li Jingdong discussed temporarily mortgaging the Li family's fields and properties to raise money. Jiang Yue was extremely dissatisfied after hearing this, thinking that Li Zhen was scheming against the Li family. She said she firmly disagreed.The competition for tribute ink began, and the Tian family's entry was indeed a new ink that was expensive and well-made - “Jin Zhangzong Xiangbi Fumozi”. The Li family's %Yiyuan ink lost to the Chen family and Tian family in the first round of competition. Unfortunately, it failed and was awarded the first grade.Li Zhen asked his aunt in advance to prepare an offering table outside the Li family ancestral hall, and invited his grandfather and other ink workers.Li Zhen borrowed the meaning of "one yuan of ink" and "one yuan to start again" and all things to be renewed, to reunite people's hearts and lead everyone out of the haze of Liu Ye's death and the burning of Mofang.The Chen family and the Tian family are equally powerful. The Chen family originally had a slight advantage. Unexpectedly, Tian Ronghua accompanied the imperial master Qinghe Immortal to the scene. Qinghe deliberately pointed out that there was a fly on the painting painted by Chen Mo, saying that it symbolized uncleanness. In this way, the Tian family won the first place.Chen Sanye couldn't accept the result of such childish play and was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.Qi Jiu had no hope of revenge because the Tian family had seized tribute, and his military mission failed, so he handed over all his property.Wang Cuiqiao couldn't bear that he was so depressed, so she asked Li Zhen to help persuade him.Li Zhen sent an invitation to Qi Jiu, inviting him to work in Li Mo Fang.Later, Li Zhen took Qi Jiu back to Chengmendong for dinner. The warmth in the eighth room reminded Qi Jiu of his father, aunt and brother.Li Mofang needed money to repair the Mofang. Li Zhen proposed to mortgage the Li family's property. Tian Jiangyue strongly opposed this, but was surprised to find that no one agreed. She suddenly realized that everyone had been won over by Li Zhen.
