After staying in Maoshan for about a week and visiting all the places worth visiting in Maoshan, Gu Yaopan finally pushed away Maoshan Zhangjiao's repeated retention of Ge Zhenren, and rushed back to the capital with Xiaoni before Xiao Nian, and when they returned to the room they were used to, subconsciously, the two sisters were relieved.

While looking at each other and smiling, Gu Yaopan also had to sigh at the strength of habit, but after living in this house for more than 20 years, he already had an inexplicable sense of belonging.

Throwing himself on the sofa, Gu Yaopan picked up his mobile phone and casually replied to Tao Mengchu with a WeChat message that arrived home safely, and then looked up at Xiao Ni, who was busy.

The end of the year is approaching, there are many things to be busy, and the refrigerator also needs to be stuffed with all kinds of ingredients, as if people have suddenly become squirrels hoarding winter, and they will move everything to their homes.

"Xiaoni, what do you want to buy, write a list, we will go to the supermarket together, I will go down and open the door of the store first, I haven't come back for so long, and the following ones will be wiped one by one." ”

Seeing Xiao Ni nodding in agreement, Gu Yaopan walked downstairs with her pockets in her pockets, her figure was leisurely and relaxed, it was so good for the New Year!

"Boom!"

The moment the shutter door was pushed, a cool air with the smell of snowflakes blew in from outside the door, although it was snowing lightly, the pedestrian street was still full of people, coming and going were all men and women carrying large bags and small bags to purchase, and all kinds of LOGOs were dangling on the packaging bags.

Gu Yaopan stood in the store and glanced at the crowd of people, then turned around and picked up a rag to clean the dust on the counter. After running outside for so many days, a layer of dust has accumulated in the store, and besides, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, although there will be no customers, but cleaning is also due.

After wiping the counter, he had just lit a handful of incense and was about to insert it into the incense burner one by one, when Gu Yaopan's ears suddenly sounded with a little hesitation.

A somewhat confused voice rang in her ears.

"Huh, why is there a shop here? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Gu Yaopan inserted the incense into the incense burner one by one, and then turned to look at the door of the store, a man wearing a long black down jacket was standing at the entrance and looking around at the store's furnishings, with a pair of black-framed glasses on his thin face, looking sven and bookish.

"Are you the owner of this shop? I come to the pedestrian street a lot, why don't I seem to have seen your shop before?"

The man asked, looking around.

"The small shop is inconspicuous, probably you haven't noticed it before. Gu Yaopan's brows furrowed slightly, but he still replied.

"Do you sell antiques in this shop?"

The man walked around the counter, bent down to look at the various antique jewelry in the glass case, and there were a few men's hairpins of green jade in the pile of emerald enamel, which looked particularly warm and seemed to attract his attention.

"You can see that these are antique jewelry, and the ones on the shelves here are old things. ”

Gu Yaopan casually pointed behind her, the things on the glass counter looked colorful, but in fact, they were all fakes, but she didn't point to this to make money, so she didn't bother to say more to this illiterate person, so she simply explained the things clearly, saving herself from coming to find the back account in case she bought it.

"Really......"

The man turned his head casually, but the voice of the exit suddenly lowered, and the whole person stood on the spot, staring directly at the direction behind Gu Yaopan with his eyes, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

Gu Yaopan followed his line of sight, and only saw the picture of a lady hanging behind her, behind a bush of blooming roses, a plain-clothed woman with high temples, half-hanging sleeves, bright eyes like snow, and endless softness and grace.

At this time, there is a wisp of light smoke in front of this lady's picture, and it seems that this woman's clothes are fluttering, as if she is coming from the fairy mountain and the sea of spirits, and wants to fly away by the wind.

"Sir!" Gu Yaopan interrupted the man's gaze with a frown.

She didn't come down to open a store, she had to go out with Xiaoni to buy things after cleaning this place, but she didn't have time to spend here with this person.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I was stunned, this painting is so beautiful!"

The man was obviously a little embarrassed, and after being interrupted by Gu Yaopan, he couldn't help but push his glasses to hide his gaffe, and the next second he couldn't help but look at the painting.

"Thank you for the compliment, we are closing the store, please understand. Gu Yaopan casually thanked him as a sign of politeness, and began to drive people away in the next sentence.

The man was obviously stunned, raised his hand and looked at his watch with some suspicion, and then his face became a little strange, this is only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, where is it time to close the store?

However, he didn't talk much, it was people's freedom to close the store when the owner wanted, and he didn't have the right to ask, as long as he could buy what he wanted.

"Sorry to bother, I hope you can buy this painting. ”

"Do you want to buy this painting?" Gu Yaopan pointed to the picture of the lady behind him, looked at the man and asked.

"Yes, please make a bid!" the man nodded affirmatively, looking at the painting with eager eyes.

"I'm sorry, but this painting is not for sale. Gu Yaopan shook his head.

"Not for sale, why?" The man looked at Gu Yaopan in surprise, and even the voice of the question became louder.

Isn't it just to make money by opening a shop? I don't make any money from the money I send to my door? Is there no reason for this? Or does this shopkeeper want to sit on the ground and raise the price? Is it because his love for this painting is too obvious?

"No, it's not for sale. Gu Yaopan shook his head and said, threw the rag into the sanitary bucket on the side, and prepared to close the door.

"Not for sale, I'm willing to pay a high price!" The man saw that Gu Yaopan's movements didn't seem to be trying to get away with it, and he suddenly became a little anxious, and a trace of excited flush appeared on his thin face.

"I'm sorry, not for sale. Gu Yaopan didn't bother to continue with him, but pushed him impatiently and said, "Please go out!

"Think about it again, make a price! I really want to buy it!" The eagerness in the man's eyes became stronger and stronger, and he refused to go out even if he pulled the door.

"Fifty thousand!" The man looked at Gu Yaopan's unmoved face, and suddenly became anxious, stretched out his palm, and opened his five fingers and said:

"Fifty thousand! Okay, that's a lot, isn't it? Your painting has no signature, only an inscription poem, and the rest has nothing, and it is not a famous calligraphy and painting, fifty thousand is not a small amount!"

As if he was afraid that Gu Yaopan would not agree, the man crackled and said a lot, sounding like he was very knowledgeable.

"I'm sorry! Gu Yaopan looked at the man's face and said expressionlessly.

"The owner...... You make a bid......"

While squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, the man put his hand on the door frame, and tried his best to fight against Gu Yaopan's hand, trying to keep himself from being kicked out of the door by this very young-looking shopkeeper, and even a thin layer of sweat was formed on the bridge of his nose.

It's a pity that Gu Yaopan's hand strength is not something he can compete with, in order not to hurt him, Gu Yaopan also restrained some of his hand strength, gently pinched his elbow joint, and took advantage of the sore gap in his arm, easily pushed him out of the door, and pulled down the roller shutter door in front of his nose.
