"It's two men in short dings!" Yan Qing now thinks back that the behavior of the two at that time was indeed suspicious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's only because her mind is on the accounts that the thieves have a chance.

She continued: "Forget it, let's take it as a lesson! This kind of trivial matter is not good to bother Brother Gong anymore, just pay attention to it yourself next time."

"More than a hundred taels of silver!" Fang Xinrong's tone was full of distress.

Yan Qing smiled and stopped talking.

Yan Qing nodded and smiled gently: "Exactly"

"Mr. Chu admires Mrs.!" Mr. Chu bowed, he had just heard Mrs. explain the differences between the two paintings and calligraphy, and he looked at it again, and really felt that what Mrs. said made sense.

He immediately decided: "Chu has always preferred calligraphy and painting of strange figures, and these two are exactly what I want, so Chu bought them."

When Fang Xinrong heard that Mr. Chu wanted to buy paintings, she happily helped Mr. Chu to add tea.

Yan Qing saw that his sincerity was evident, but she said: "Sir, it's better to wait until you know the price and then make a decision, the price of calligraphy and painting in "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China" is sixty-eight taels of silver."

"Oh! good!" Mr. Chu responded very cheerfully.

Yan Qing took two paintings, took him back to the counter, and carefully wrapped the "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China", when she wrapped the "Mona Lisa", she saw that there were marks made by Xinrong's sister on the back of the calligraphy and painting, she stopped the movements in her hand, and asked Mr. Chu with an apologetic smile: "I'm really sorry, there are a number of marks on Lisa's calligraphy and paintings, I don't know if Mr. Chu will mind?"

Mr. Chu looked at the mark of the word "two", and he said with a smile: "Chu has always been informal, this calligraphy and painting is bought back to the house, and it is also hung on the wall, only there is a mark on the back, which is fine."

"Mr. Chu doesn't mind!" Yan Qing continued to wrap and handed him the two paintings and calligraphy.

They sent Mr. Chu away, Yan Qing smiled at Sister Xinrong: "Have you seen it, there is nothing wrong with your painting skills, just pay attention next time"

Fang Xinrong nodded happily and said, "When I am free, I will help Sister Yan make more paintings."

The sisters smiled affectionately and walked into the gallery.

As soon as Mr. Chu left, there was no painter in the gallery at night, and Yan Qing sent Xinrong's sister and Xiaoyu back to the house.

Su Jin finished painting the paintings that Mr. Jin had booked, and a few other paintings, and just came down from the second floor, Yan Qing happily stepped forward and said, "Husband, tell you good news"

"Huh?" Su Jin couldn't guess for a while and smiled: "Lady, please speak"

"The painting I painted last night has been sold! It was bought by Mr. Chu!" Yan Qing's tone couldn't hide his joy.

"Very good!" Su Jin said admiringly.

Yan Qing asked, "Then shouldn't I paint a few more paintings tonight?" As soon as I took it out, I was sold away!"

"Well, as long as the lady is happy, there is no objection to the husband!" Su Jin said with a smile.

They decided to stay in the gallery to paint today, which made Aunt Li know, and she couldn't help but persuade them worriedly: "Mr. Su, Xiaoqing, no matter how important painting is, you must also be careful of your body! How can you stay up at night for two days in a row?"

"It's okay, Aunt Li!" Yan Qing said with a smile: "There is still a delay on the way back, anyway, it will be busy for these two days, we have a sense of proportion, you and Uncle Feng should go home and rest first!"

Feng Zicheng saw that Mr. Su and Mrs. Su worked so hard for the art gallery, and it was still too early to go back at this hour, so he said: "Since you insist on staying overnight to paint, Feng will also stay, and paint for two more hours."

Yan Qing knew that Uncle Feng was still injured, so she disagreed: "Uncle Feng, your injuries haven't healed yet, how can you stay here with us, you better go home quickly! I'm closing."

Su Jin also took the lady's words and persuaded the two: "That's right! It's important to take care of the injury! Besides, Uncle Feng came to paint with the injury, Su Jin and the lady are grateful."

"Heh, don't persuade me, leave two hours to paint, you can hold on, don't say more, you go upstairs to paint, I'll paint in the hall!" Feng Zicheng obviously didn't listen to persuasion.

Aunt Li simply said: "Yes, since you all stayed, then I will also stay and serve you!" She went to close the door, smiled and said to them: "Don't go, you go to paint! I went to the back hall to make a pot of tea, just today I went to buy a bag of osmanthus flowers, and I will make osmanthus cakes for you to make for supper later."

Uncle Feng and Aunt Li had a heart for them, and Su Jin and Yan Qing had no choice but to accept it, and they went to the second floor to paint separately.

Until late at night.

They finished painting, Su Jin and Yan Qing didn't stay overnight in the gallery, they hired a carriage and went home.

Since setting up a painting stall and now opening a painting gallery, Yan Qing seems to have gotten used to it, leaving early and returning late with her husband every day.

As it turns out, their efforts will pay off.

It took two days of painting at night to sell some of the daytime paintings.

And the calligraphy and painting of "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China" painted by her was very loved by literati and ink writers, and for this painting, they also specially held a temporary teleprompter contest in the gallery.

In this event, these literati and writers showed their talents, and no one was willing to have any inappropriate words to mention by themselves, and they were inferior by half a point.

The competition lasted for two days, and during the two days, the gallery was overcrowded, and when Yan Qing made this painting that night, he did not expect that the calligraphy and painting of "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China" would cause a boom in Qingyang Street.

However, there are a lot of criticisms that come with it, and even so, Yan Qing can all accept it happily.

With the fame of Hongyantang Art Gallery on Qingyang Street for a while, Yan Qing couldn't help but find that there were many painters who came to patronize every day, but there were fewer people who actually bought paintings.

Su Jin also found a problem.

Some of the painters came in, just to drink tea, and after a few glances at the paintings, they left without interest.

Even the aunts and old men who had never appeared in the gallery before, recently saw a few figures, and they all just drank tea and left. Sometimes, when I got up, I accidentally touched the teacup and broke the teatea, causing the tea to spill on the ground, and this kind of thing happened a few times, which provoked Aunt Li and Xiaoyu to start complaining about those people.

Su Jin and Yan Qing both felt that it was time to think of a way.

If this continues, the artists who come to buy the paintings will become more and more reluctant to visit the gallery.

No outcome has yet been agreed.

Gong Wenshen brought Luo Yitou to the gallery this day, and when he saw the mixed scene in the gallery, he frowned and came to the counter, and asked Yan Qingdao: "Xiaoqing, what's going on?"

Yan Qing glanced at it and replied lightly: "They are here to drink tea, and now the art gallery has become a teahouse."

Hearing this, Gong Wenshen smiled and said, "You don't have to spend money on this tea, but they don't drink it for nothing."

"I'm thinking about it!" Yan Qing said: "These people come more, and the painters come less, they only drink tea and don't buy paintings, but in the past two days, they have helped us save calligraphy and paintings."

"Well, that's right!" Gong Wenshen didn't see Su Xian's brother and junior sister, so he asked, "Why are you alone?"

"I've all gone to send paintings, but fortunately, there are old painters who are taking care of the business, and now most of them have changed to book calligraphy and paintings!"

While they were chatting, Su Jin and Feng Zicheng went out together, and they happened to come back together.

When they saw the guards outside the gallery, they guessed that Gong Gongzi had come to the gallery, and after seeing the ceremony, Gong Wenshen went up to the second floor with them.

Yan Qing couldn't leave for a while, so he had to stay in the hall and watch, and entertain a handful of painters.

Gong Wenshen said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Su Xian, I'm afraid that my brother is going to disappoint you, and I haven't found the whereabouts of those two big men after a thorough investigation for a few days." It seems that if you want to catch them, you will have to delay for a few more days."

Su Jin was confused, but Brother Gong had done his best for this matter, and he couldn't bother anymore and said: "Presumably, these two people have been out of Lan'an, and Brother Gong doesn't have to worry about this case anymore."

"The guards at the city gate have always been heavily guarded, if they are really lucky enough to get out of Lan'an, as soon as they ask the brothers on the other side of the city gate, you will know! Luo Yitou went to ask, in recent days, have you not seen these two people out of Lan'an?" Gong Wenshen said thoughtfully.

At this time, Feng Zicheng was puzzled: "If it weren't for the different places of the heads, how could the whereabouts of these two people not be thoroughly investigated?"

His words woke Gong Wenshen up.

"Brother Su Xian, Mr. Feng!" Gong Wenshen got up and said goodbye: "You give me two more days, within three days, I will definitely catch these two people, I will see people alive, and corpses will be seen in death."

"There's a Gongzi of Laogong!" Feng Zicheng said.

They sent Gong Wenshen and the others away, and Fang Xinrong and Xiaoyu went to the mansion to send paintings and came back.

Yan Qing still had a few predetermined painting lists in her hand, and they were anxious to receive the paintings in the afternoon, so she asked her husband, Uncle Feng and Sister Xinrong to go up to the second floor to paint.

Aunt Li and Xiaoyu simply put a pot of tea in the hall and put it in the hall, and drank it to death, and then the two went out to buy vegetables for the evening.

There are people walking and people coming in the gallery.

Yan Qing sat at the counter, counting the money she had spent recently, she looked up at the hall from time to time, and then went about her own business.

At this time, two men dressed in short dings came in from outside the gallery, all dressed like waiters, and they looked inside the hall a few times, and their eyes fell on the shopkeeper sitting at the counter.

The man in a light blue short ding glanced at the brown man, and the two of them went to the painting area of the hall separately.

There are paintings of various categories in the art area.

The brown man walked to the front of the landscape painting area, and looked at the shopkeeper with extra caution, he saw that the shopkeeper was concentrating on his work, he picked up the landscape painting of "Seclusion", and looked at the painting, but slowly rolled up the calligraphy and painting, turned sideways and stuffed the scroll into his sleeve.

In addition, the man in the light blue short Ding was also slowly rolling up the calligraphy and painting of "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China" and carefully stuffed it into his sleeve.

Yan settled the accounts of an expense, and she looked up at the hall and the painting area twice.

The man in the light blue short ding picked up the calligraphy and painting of the "Mona Lisa", looked at it in a gesture, and was about to roll it up, when he looked in all directions and saw the shopkeeper looking up.

He was agitated and pretended to continue to look at the paintings.

Yan Qing saw that the tea drinkers were full, got up and left, at this moment, there were only two painters left in the hall to watch the painting, she smiled, and was about to put down the work she was doing and go to entertain.

Unfortunately, Fang Xinrong shouted on the second floor: "Sister Yan, the ink in my inkstone is almost gone, and there is almost ink in a painting, you can help me send it up!"

"It's coming!" Yan Qing responded, took the ink out of the counter, looked at the two men and smiled, thinking that he would send the ink, and then immediately come down to entertain the painters.

But when she came down, the two painters were gone.

She had long been accustomed to this, and returned to the counter to count the accounts for a while.

Aunt Li and Xiaoyu bought vegetables and rushed back, Aunt Li said with a smile on her face: "Today's two fish are worth buying, in the evening, I will steam one braised one"

"Okay!" Xiaoyu likes to eat the food cooked by Aunt Li, but she asked, "Aunt Li, one steamed and one braised will be too wasteful, why don't you make that pickled cabbage fish?"

"Sauerkraut fish?" Aunt Li said embarrassedly: "This, what I make is not authentic, this dish has to be cooked by Xiaoqing to make it delicious."

"Mrs. Su is busy! how can she have the time to cook, forget it, you should steam one and braise one tonight!" Xiao Yu compromised.

It's done, Xiaoyu stayed in the hall and looked at the painting area, and Aunt Li went to the back hall to cook dinner.

Near dinner, Su Jin, Feng Zicheng and Fang Xinrong went to the house to deliver calligraphy and paintings, and Yan Qing also took advantage of this time to reconcile the paintings sold today, as well as count the remaining paintings today.

That's a strange number.

She calculated very clearly, a total of 14 paintings and calligraphy were sold today, of which the best-selling "Seclusion", "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China" and "Mona Lisa" were sold six, four, and four paintings respectively. In this way, these three paintings are inexplicably missing four.

"Husband, you come down!" Yan Qing shouted to the second floor.

Su Jin went downstairs without further ado, and Feng Zicheng and Fang Xinrong also followed him down.

Yan Qing asked bluntly: "There are four paintings missing from the gallery, but the husband has underpaid the bill?"

As soon as Su Jin heard that there were no paintings and calligraphy, he shook his head and asked, "I don't know which four paintings are missing?"

"There are two less pieces of "Seclusion", one less piece of "Spring Boudoir of the Republic of China", and one less piece of "Mona Lisa"!" Yan Qing said, handing the account sheet to her husband to see.

Su Jin looked at the account list, and went to the painting area to count the remaining paintings. It is true that there are four missing.

"Sister Yan, didn't I say it!" Some words, Fang Xinrong was about to suffocate in her heart, she said: "Recently, the arowana in the gallery is mixed, I guess, will it be stolen? Otherwise, where did I go? Anyway, I didn't take it with Xiaoyu."

Sister Jing Xinrong said this.

Yan Qing suddenly felt very reasonable, recently, Fujun and Uncle Feng, and Sister Xinrong were either painting, or on the way to deliver paintings, today Aunt Li and Xiaoyu went out again, and she was calculating the accounts, and she had no time to take care of the painters in the hall.

She thought about it.

I can't help but think of the two men who looked at the paintings in the afternoon.

"Could it be them?" Yan Qing said suspiciously.

Fang Xinrong followed up and asked: "Who is it?
