Yan Qing opened the red silk knot, revealing a gift box made of vermilion sandalwood, and a delicate and chic small lock was attached to the box. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Curious, she picked up the gift box and saw that the key was pressed under the box.

"Lady?" Su Jin didn't wait to see his wife in the courtyard, thinking about coming to the study to have a look, and as soon as he walked in, his wife took the key and unscrewed the lock.

"Husband!" Yan Qing smiled and looked back at him, and saw that the gift box was really a pair of four treasures of the study, and indeed this ink, paper and inkstone were all high-grade and valuable.

She took out the stone turquoise inkstone and observed it carefully, its appearance was elegant and rare, crystal like jade, and the texture of the palm was also firm and fine.

"It seems that the things rewarded by the emperor are very unusual and beautiful, right? Husband! Yan Qing asked him with a smile.

Su Jin saw that his lady couldn't put it down, smiled and explained to her: "This inkstone is called Tao inkstone, and its peculiarity lies in the silence of the buckle, the water droplets can be produced, the ink is fast and not damaged, and the ink is stored for a long time without drying up, and it has always been a treasure of the palace and a treasure of literati and ink writers."

Hearing this, Yan Qing put Tao Yan back in the gift box, and thought about replying to him: "Then we have to thank Gongzi Gongzi, he was willing to give us such a valuable thing."

"That's what the lady said!" Su Jin replied.

The two of them looked at the four treasures of the study in the gift box, and put them away again, so there was no need for them to use such a good thing when they set up a painting stall on the street.

Su Jin and Yan Qing walked out of the courtyard, and Aunt Li thought that they were not going to go to the stall today, so they wanted to ask what was going on?

"Mr. Su, Xiaoqing!" Aunt Li came to them with a smile, and saw that Mr. Su had the utensils for setting up a painting stall in his hand, and said happily: "Let's go quickly!" It's almost mid-morning."

"Good!" Su Jin and Yan Qing looked at each other and smiled, and followed behind Aunt Li.

They walked to the entrance of Pingyang Alley on Shu'an Street, and the three of them set up a painting stall and went out.

Just out of the stall for a while, the painters who came to the booth to see the paintings in the past few days were surprised to see that Mr. Su actually came out to paint today, and the busy three or five groups came to the painting stall and said "Mr. Su" in unison.

Su Jin smiled and gave them a salute in return, naturally he didn't expect that in addition to the relatives and friends around him, there were also other guests and friends who remembered him.

Aunt Li was happy to see that Mr. Su was so popular now.

Yan Qing was worried about how to recruit artists to paint, but now it's okay, but before she can think of a way, they all came to the door by themselves.

Su Jin warmly entertained the painters, and chatted with them for a while with the questions they raised, and then asked them to go to his wife's side to line up first, and he sat down, waiting to study the ink, ready to paint.

Before painting, Yan Qingming said two things: first, they will not do indoor and outdoor painting for the time being, and their worries are their own.

Second, I only charge eight yuan for making a painting today, which is two dollars less than before, which is a thank you for your support.

Saying this, it gradually attracted most of the painters, and the three of them got so busy that they didn't even bother to take a sip of tea.

At noon, they also had a simple lunch, and Su Jin continued to paint.

In the early afternoon, the number of painters was still increasing, and Yan Qing estimated that they were lucky today, and the business of the art stall would be unexpectedly good.

Another hour passed.

Yan Qing instructed the painters on their expressions and postures, and when she returned to the art stall, she saw that the ink they brought might not be enough, so she greeted Su Jin and Aunt Li, and she went to Wenren Street to buy some ink and came back.

It's just that I haven't had time to leave after taking the money. At this time, there was a sudden shout of "get out of the way" in front of the painting stall.

Yan Qing looked up suspiciously, and saw several big men rushing into their painting stall, and without saying a word, snatched the self-portrait that the painter was holding in his hand.

"You...?" The man who was robbed of his self-portrait angrily pointed to the big man who was the leader of the evil, and before he could say anything, he was pushed aside by the big man with one hand.

"Haha..."He glanced at the guy who was overwhelmed and fell on all fours, laughed and tore up the self-portrait in his hand, and said, "Smash!" ”

The few big men who attacked this time were even more menacing than the few villains who came last time, and they didn't give Su Jin and Yan Qing any chance to resist.

As soon as several big men stepped forward, they first picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it on the ground, and then picked up a stack of drawing paper and threw it behind them.

A stack of drawing paper swayed in the wind, blowing on the streets of the alley.

"Stop!" Su Jin put down his pen with a solemn face, got up and asked, "Do you still have the royal law in your eyes?" ”

"Wang Fa?" The big man at the head wiped the corners of his mouth and replied funny: "Lao Tzu is the king's law, Lao Tzu sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, and he will smash your stall"

"Smash!" He shouted.

Yan Qing witnessed these big men acting recklessly, and their methods were more ruthless than the previous ones, obviously there was a reason, and she and her husband and Aunt Li were indeed not their opponents in terms of force.

She stood beside her husband unusually calmly, and asked with an unyielding smile on her face: "Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if you have heard of the shopkeeper of the Lu Calligraphy and Painting Museum?" ”

To their surprise, these big men didn't seem to know about the Lu Family Painting and Calligraphy Museum at all, they looked at each other blankly, and they didn't want to delay any longer, they just wanted to do this matter neatly and neatly, and immediately go to receive the reward.

"What are you doing? Don't want to live anymore? The big man at the head angrily scolded his subordinates.

Su Jin saw that one of the big men was trying to get his painting scrolls, and he laughed and said, "Do you think that if you smash Su's painting stall, you can walk away?"

I, Su, know that I am useless, and I have watched you bully you so far, but I am powerless.

But as long as I can still paint, I will draw your evil deeds on paper and send one to the county mansion. Not only that, but your portraits will be plastered all over the streets, and when the time comes, will you not be reduced to people who steal their lives? ”

"My husband is right!" Yan Qing continued: "We can't help but tell you that we are close friends with the Gong Lord and Gong Gongzi of the County Cheng Mansion, if they know that you have come to smash the painting stall, I think they will not let you go."

"Boss?" When the big man who was about to get the scroll heard it, he immediately relented.

"Phew!" The big man led by him snorted, seeing that the painting stall was almost smashed by them, if it weren't for the reward given by the son, they wouldn't have bothered to smash others.

"The surname is Su!" The big man led by said in a tough and thick tone: "We are not afraid of you, and Lao Tzu will not advise you, don't set up a stall here in the future, if you block other people's business, you are not right."

As soon as Su Jin and Yan Qing heard the latter sentence, they were sure that it was Lu Zhenghu who was behind the villain's means.
