At this time, Zhou Yuguang came upstairs with a painting: "Miss, the seller of this painting wants to negotiate the price with you in person." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xuan Miaoer took the scroll, opened it and looked at it, and then took the painting to Hua Jiye's eyes: "Look at this painting, it is indeed unusual, it must be from the master's hand, but the most critical signature has been worn out." ”

Hua Jiye held the other side of the painting: "Such a fine and unique four-image picture, I dare to conclude that it is from the hand of Mo painter, after Mojiazhuang was slaughtered in the village, there is no clue about these things, how can they suddenly appear now?"

When Xuan Miaoer looked at this painting again, her eyes noticed the texture on Xuanwu's body on this painting, so familiar? Yes, it is part of the treasure map, but this piece is too small, and it is really difficult to find in the middle of a painting, because she has studied this treasure map too much, and has the ability to remember it, so she can see it.

But Xuan Miao'er can't say, and these four pictures should be four, so there should be a part of the treasure map on each one, she looked at Hua Jiye and whispered: "This painting has a mystery, how much silver do you think it's worth?"

Hua Jiye didn't see the mystery of the treasure map, he only found a treasure map fragment so far, so he didn't know much about this thing, but what he knew more than Xuan Miaoer was that it was related to Mojiazhuang, that is, it was related to the treasure map, so he also felt that there was a mystery here.

"This picture must be bought, no matter how much silver. Hua Jiye whispered in Xuan Miaoer's ear, he didn't mention the treasure map, because he was not a drunken son, and he couldn't say that he knew about it, as long as he liked the painting.

Xuan Miao'er nodded: "But there are still three missing pieces of these four images, and they are more valuable when they are complete." ”

Hua Jiye also thought so, and said to Zhou Yuguang: "You let the person who sells paintings go upstairs to talk." ”

Zhou Yuguang should go downstairs.

After a while, a man about forty years old went upstairs, and the man was obviously disguised to disguise his identity, but this disguise technique was relatively clumsy, and Xuan Miaoer could see it at a glance, but he didn't say it thoroughly.

She said to the man, "Let's sit down and talk, what is this old man called?"

The man sat down and said, "The contemptible person's surname is Chen, and he is a carpenter, so it's good for the young lady to call me Carpenter Chen." ”

The three of them all sat down around the table, and Xuan Miao'er spoke first: "Carpenter Chen, how much silver do you want for this painting before you can sell it?"

The man who claimed to be a carpenter Chen looked at Xuan Miao'er, and then looked at Hua Jiye: "The two of you are also people who know how to paint, this painting was handed down by the ancestors, but the father was in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have sold it, if it can't be sold at a good price, it's better not to sell it." ”

Hua Jiye tilted his head and smiled and asked, "Then Carpenter Chen always has to give a price, right?"

Although Carpenter Chen looked down, his words and demeanors were definitely not simple: "I just want to change places and start my life again, at least to open a shop to support my family." But he still wouldn't say the price.

Xuan Miaoer pretended to be puzzled and looked at Carpenter Chen: "You are just a painting, it's not from some celebrity, and the signature is gone, and this painting should have been a group of four, but now it's just such a picture, I really can't afford a high price." She didn't really want to know the price of the other three paintings, but because she wanted to know the whereabouts of the remaining three paintings.

Carpenter Chen was not in a hurry, stood up and rolled up the painting and planned to leave: "Since this is the case, I don't force it, I think there will always be people who recognize the value of this thing." "He's just putting on a show, because he just knows that the painting is valuable, but he doesn't know why it's valuable, and he doesn't know who to sell it.

Hua Jiye was bound to win in his heart, he was indeed a little anxious just now, but he was calmed down by Xuan Miaoer's words just now, this is a painting gallery, a painting collector, since the other party is here, he is afraid that others will know, and he has rubbed off his signature, which proves that he is afraid of others knowing.

Just now, I just thought that this was related to the treasure map, and I was really anxious, but now that I have figured it out, he has calmed down: "This Carpenter Chen, you must also know that we are a small art gallery, and it is difficult for us to sell it if the price is high." ”

Xuan Miao'er thought for a while: "At most, I can produce fifty taels, this painting is really fine, but the flaws are too big, and there is only one, if there are four, I can give three hundred taels." ”

The carpenter Chen shook his head: "Then I won't sell it, I also came out to sell this thing at risk, if my brother knew about it, he would kill me, such a big risk, I would have fifty taels of silver, it's not worth it." ”

Hua Jiye still wanted to speak, but Xuan Miaoer secretly pulled Hua Jiye, and then said to the Chen carpenter: "That's a pity, I'm also a small business, so we can't talk about this deal." ”

Carpenter Chen was very confident in this painting, he didn't know the mystery here, but back then, his father would rather be burned to death, and let the four brothers save these four paintings, and also let them change their names and start their lives again, so he felt that this painting must be very valuable, his father painted for the emperor, these paintings must be the best, otherwise why desperately protect them.

Now the four brothers are in a state of despair, and he said several times that he wanted to sell the painting, but his eldest brother just wouldn't let him, saying that the relics of his father could not be sold, but he was so poor, why didn't he sell this painting when it was worth a lot of money? So he stole it and sold it.

If he can sell it for a good price, he will take his wife and children to change places and live in seclusion, which is better than going out to work all day now, but the silver will have to be handed over to the brother, and the four brothers will not be separated from each other without elders.

Thinking so, Carpenter Chen planned to take the painting back and not sell it, at least if there were good buyers to sell it in the future: "The contemptible man will take his leave, hoping that there will be someone who appreciates this painting in the future." ”

Hua Jiye didn't mean to move Xuan Miao'er, but he had a plan in his heart, as long as he knew the Mo family's nest, would it be difficult for him to take out these paintings?

Xuan Miaoer thought for a while: "Carpenter Chen, I also like this painting, but the price is too high, but I am more interested in these four paintings, if I can see it, it will be my honor, but I don't have to buy it, just let me see it once, it doesn't matter if you keep this thing in your hand or sell it to others again, I just want to take a look, right?"

Carpenter Chen thought about it, and his face showed joy: "Then how much silver do you want to see once?"

Xuan Miao'er stretched out four fingers: "Four paintings, how about forty taels of silver?"

Carpenter Chen didn't even think about it: "Fifty taels for a bite, I can bring it the next day." ”

Xuan Miao'er pretended to hesitate: "Fifty taels, I have seen one here, and I wanted to give you thirty taels." "If the promise is too happy, Carpenter Chen can't prepare it and will raise the price, and even think it's more valuable, so he won't show it to them.

"Forty taels is forty taels, and at this time the day after tomorrow, I brought my things. Carpenter Chen was happy in his heart, and the family went to the ancestral hall in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, this good opportunity was just right, and he just stole it out for a while, and no one would find out if he took it back after reading it.
