Chapter VII: Criticism
Yan Qing was stunned when he saw the shopkeeper, probably he didn't expect them to have the courage to come up with such a price!
She smiled, put away the scroll in Su Jin's hand, and said to him: "Husband, you don't sell the family's bid of twenty-five taels, I guess!" The price of this house may not be as high as the previous one! Forget it, let's go back home! ”
Su Jin naturally understood what his lady meant, said goodbye to the shopkeeper's courtesy, and let Yan Qing pull him out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shopkeeper saw that what the girl said was not a lie, and besides, the calligraphy and painting of "Yue Dai" could indeed be worth the bid of twenty-eight taels, which shows that the little lady of Mr. Su's family is very shrewd.
"Mr. Su, slow down!" The shopkeeper chased him out of the counter road.
Yan Qing and Su Jin looked impassive on their faces, but she had already expected that the shopkeeper would definitely open their mouths to keep them when they walked ten steps away.
Su Jin asked, "I don't know what else happened to the shopkeeper?" ”
"Oh!" The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The old man sees that Mr. Su is a versatile and honest person, and the old man appreciates people like Mr. Su the most, Mr. Su, please go back, we can say the price of calligraphy and painting."
"Hmmm! Please"
Su Jin and Yan Qing were invited back, Yan Qing didn't want to talk nonsense with the old man, and said straight to the point: "My husband and I met the shopkeeper is also a simple and cheerful person, we appreciate people like you the shopkeeper the most, since you sincerely invited us back, I hope the shopkeeper will pay the silver more happily."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper wanted to talk about the price again, but he was choked back by Yan Qing at this time, and he thought about it, so he reluctantly ordered the guy to go to the back hall and get twenty-eight taels of silver.
"Mr. Su, take it!" The shopkeeper smiled stiffly on his face and handed the silver to Su Jin, glanced at Yan Qing and smiled at Su Jin: "Mr. Su is really blessed to marry a shrewd and capable lady."
Su Jin took the silver politely, looked at Yan Qing and smiled lovingly, and replied: "Su thanked the shopkeeper for the appreciation of the lady."
"Hehe, Mr. Su is polite! Polite! Seeing that Su Jin and Yan Qing took the silver and wanted to leave, the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. Su go slowly, if Mr. Su's subordinates come out with good works in the future, I hope Mr. Su will patronize our store more."
Su Jinli said goodbye: "Okay, Su said goodbye"
The two of them came out of the "Lu's Painting and Calligraphy Museum", Su Jin really didn't expect that the calligraphy and painting he painted last night could be sold for twenty-eight taels of silver, thinking about it, it was thanks to the lady.
Walking on the noisy streets, while they were looking for a shop that sold the four treasures of the study, Su Jin asked her: "Could it be that just now, the lady guessed how much silver her husband would bid?" ”
Yan Qing happily touched the texture of the fabric on the stall next to him, walked to the stall in front, picked up the rouge and put it on his nose to smell it, nodded and replied: "What does the husband think, I understand, the husband is too humble." As everyone knows, your calligraphy and painting are actually treasures when they go to someone else, and we sold him twenty-eight taels of silver, but he sold them to others for at least sixty taels."
"Girl, do you like this rouge?" The stall owner asked with a smile.
"Huh?" Yan Qing put down his rouge and said bluntly: "I don't like it", after speaking, he immediately changed to a stall, and put the matter of buying pen and ink and setting up a painting stall behind him for the time being.
The stall owner put the rouge in place and looked at Su Jin and smiled awkwardly.
He smiled back, presumably he was also a sincere person, he saw that the lady obviously liked rouge, and he had never bought rouge gouache for the lady, he glanced at the childlike lady and asked, "How much is rouge?" ”
"Sixteen pennies!"
Su Jin paid the money, continued to follow Yan Qing and stopped, played around, and went to the teahouse to drink tea and rest when he was tired.
After walking through the two streets, I am familiar with the economic market of Lan'an County. However, Yan Qing did not set Shu'an Street, the most prosperous area, as a place for painting stalls.
Instead, I chose a quieter but not lacking flow of people on the street, the first arrival, or a safer and better market, of course, to stay until their business has improved, and then it is not too late.
At noon, the two had a simple lunch.
Yan Qing put away his playfulness and followed Su Jin to wander around Wenren Street, coincidentally, every alley in the back street here is full of shops selling the four treasures of the study.
"It turned out to be hidden in this lump!" Yan Qingdao.
Su Jin listened to the heartfelt smile and walked into the shop.
Yan Qing didn't follow up, she went to a roadside restaurant, and was talking to the young man?
After a while, the young man nodded understandingly, smiled and agreed.
Su Jin bought the four treasures of the study and walked out of the shop, and saw two young men carrying the table and following behind his lady.
Such an inexplicable move suddenly caused a lot of people to look back, ready to see the excitement.
"Okay, let's put this position!" Yan Qing found the best location that was obvious as soon as he entered the street.
Seeing that the two young men had placed the table steady, she took out the money for renting the table and the labor fee, and paid one of the young men.
"Lady!" Su Jin walked up to her and called, placing the four treasures of the study on the table.
"Husband!" Yan Qing said happily: "Hurry up and hang up the signboard!" "Look, there is no shelf next to the table where you can hang a sign.
However, Su Jin came preparedly and took out the cloth belt from his sleeve and tied the signboard and the table leg together.
Yan Qing gave him a thumbs up, and then invited her husband to sit down, and greeted the lively and passing-by people with a smile: "Hello everyone! Welcome to the show, that's the case, today I came to Lan'an County with Mr. Junsu, my husband, to set up a painting stall here..."
She paid attention to the response given to her by the crowd as she spoke, and when she saw that someone didn't understand, she smiled again and gestured to the action of painting in her hand, and said bluntly: "It's Mr. Su who paints for you, because it is a new opening today, so the top ten enjoy discounts, and Mr. Su will give the top ten free paintings."
After she finished speaking, the visitors looked at her blankly and were cold for a moment.
Then, the spectators talked to each other, and no one wanted to come to the top ten.
Yan Qing listened to the crooked chirping, it was nothing more than that they hadn't seen it yet, a married woman followed her husband out to show off her amorousness.
"Looking at the polite and polite, he actually took his own lady to do this kind of thing"
"Yes! Look at this little lady, she is not ashamed, and she asks her husband to paint people on the street, hehe"
"Hongyantang? How come I've never heard of it? ”
"I haven't heard of it, I don't know where it came from?"
"Readers don't study hard at home, they have to come here to paint for people, and the top ten are free, heh, I'm not rare for free."
"Then you can be in 11th place! Haha"
Originally, I came to see the lively scene, but now it has become a mixture of tongues, and the quiet streets have become noisy with gossip.
But they were wrong, if she was really a weak woman in ancient times, and was criticized by such gossip today, then she would indeed cover her face and cry and run away early.
Who deserves to make her not an ancient woman! She's thick-skinned!
