Chapter Seventy-Three: The End

Yan Qing came to the door of a Liuyun Pavilion calligraphy and painting museum. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The upper and lower floors of the gallery look magnificent.

She walked into the gallery with the scroll, and immediately a man dressed as a scholar stepped forward to receive her.

Yan Qing thanked him, walked up to the shopkeeper and took out the picture scroll, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I'm here to sell paintings."

"Huh!" The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man, who politely asked, "Girl, can you let the old man see your painting first?" ”

"Good!" Yan Qing placed another scroll on the counter and unfolded the painting "Gongsheng" in front of him.

The style of painting should be in line with the occasion, the painting of the man is charming, the brush is skillful and soft, the color is clear and simple, it is indeed a good painting.

"How?" Yan Qingxiao asked.

The shopkeeper nodded with a nuanced view. However, he smiled apologetically: "This painting, the girl should take it elsewhere and sell it!" ”

"Why?" Yan Qing's first reaction was to ask.

"Huh!" The shopkeeper told her truthfully: "The girl's painting has no signature number and no seal." It doesn't conform to the rules of the gallery for buying scrolls"

"Oh? So that's it! Yan Qing smiled clearly, she didn't really come to sell calligraphy and paintings, after putting away the "Gongsheng" scroll, she asked: "Is it possible to sell calligraphy and paintings as long as there are signatures and seals?" ”

"Not really!" The shopkeeper is also a cheerful person, and said to her: "There are genuine and fake paintings, even if it is a painting with a seal, you must see whether it is true or false before buying"

"Hmmm! The shopkeeper has a point! "Yan Qing has nothing to say, Yuzhou is really not as casual as a small place, come to think of it, her husband hasn't mentioned the font number yet, and there is no seal! I suggested that my husband get one too.

Yan Qing came out of the Yunge Painting and Calligraphy Museum, and visited several calligraphy and painting museums one after another, and learned that each one has its own business characteristics, and the only thing that is the same is that it only buys calligraphy and paintings with a seal and a seal.

When she returned to the inn, it was already evening, and after wandering out for a few hours, she had a brief dinner, and then went back to her room to rest.

The first day of Qiu Yu's exam has passed, and there are still two days left, and I don't know how her husband is doing?

She lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.

On the morning of the second day, Yan Qing asked Brother Liu to send her to the Gongyuan, anyway, she was idle, she might as well stay outside the Gongyuan gate all day, close to her husband, and felt a lot more relieved.

On the third day of Qiufu, Yan Qing came to the Gongyuan and packed up all the baggage to return to Lan'an, and she brought it with her.

Shen Shi was just a little after that.

There were two drumming sounds in the Gong Courtyard, and Yan Qing knew that the exam had been completed, so she got out of the carriage and waited for three minutes.

The vermilion gate, which had been confined for three days, was finally opened.

Immediately, a wave of scholars who entered the examination were either talking and laughing, or looking depressed, and some walked out of the gate of the Gongyuan calmly.

Yan Qing didn't see her husband's figure for a long time, so she walked forward worriedly and took a few more looks.

Brother Liu followed behind her and comforted: "Mrs. Su, don't worry! Mr. Su will come out later."

"Hmm!" Yan Qing hoped that she was too worried.

They waited a few more hours, and there were only a handful of scholars who came out of the Tribute Academy.

When she saw Su Jin come out, Yan Qing finally let go of her heart, she eagerly greeted her husband, smiled and asked, "Husband, why did you only come out now?" ”

Su Jin knew that his wife was worried, so he grabbed her shoulders and walked to the carriage, and replied with a smile: "I don't know how Lord Qi recognized me Su Jin as a husband, and when I just handed in the papers, I chatted with Lord Qi a little more."

The two of them got into the carriage, Yan Qing's heart was a lot more relaxed, she saw that her husband was full of energy, and he should have done well in the exam, she smiled and guessed: "Lord Gong and Mr. Wei are close friends, and Lord Qi is an old friend of Lord Gong, I guess Mr. Wei and Lord Qi must also be good friends, Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei have been to Jiangtang before, and they must have mentioned you in front of Lord Qi."

Su Jin nodded when he heard this and said, "The lady is reasonable."

That night, they took advantage of the night to rush back to Lan'an, and the road to come always felt long, and the way back seemed much lighter.

August 13 is only two days away from the opening of the gallery.

Early in the morning of the thirteenth, they entered the city gate of Lan'an County, and Brother Liu sent them back to Jiankou Lane, and then turned around and returned to Gongfu.

As soon as Aunt Li came to the house, she happily asked Mr. Su how he was doing?

Su Jin smiled and didn't answer, so he could only obey the will of heaven.

Fang Xinrong learned from Brother Liu that Mr. Su and Sister Yan had returned to Lan'an, and she and Xiaoyu immediately came.

Because of the fact that the gallery opened on the fifteenth day, and they haven't prepared anything yet, now that her husband's township exam has ended, what worries her more is the gallery.

Fang Xinrong came to the house, and before she finished drinking a cup of tea, she proposed to go to Qingyang Street with Sister Yan to ask, has the old gentleman of the shop moved out?

Yan Qing agreed, and came to the wood carving shop on Qingyang Street with Xinrong's sister and Xiaoyu.

As soon as they entered the door, the old shopkeeper recognized the girl who had paid the deposit before, he happily walked out of the counter, approached Yan Qing and said with a smile: "The girl is here, that day, the old man forgot to ask the girl's surname?" ”

"The little girl's surname is Yan, I don't know the old man's surname?" Yan Qing asked apologetically.

The shopkeeper smiled and didn't care, and replied: "The old man's surname is Du"

"Mr. Du!" Yan Qing glanced at the room and saw that there were a few missing wood carvings on the wall a few days ago, so the old man must have moved.

Fang Xinrong and Xiaoyu came down from the second floor, and she asked the shopkeeper Du bluntly: "Old man, I see that the wood carvings on the second floor are still on display, when will you move well?" Sister Yan's gallery is scheduled to open on the fifteenth, and we have to prepare for it in the next two days! ”

Shopkeeper Du listened to this girl's unforgiving tone, and he didn't care about her, he smiled and said: "The old man wants to wait for Miss Yan to come over and take a look, even if Miss Yan is here today, the old man can move well before dark."

"Hmm!" Fang Xinrong didn't say anything.

Yan Qing withdrew his gaze from Sister Xinrong, looked at the shopkeeper Du and smiled with a thankful smile: "So there is Mr. Lao Du, then the old gentleman, you are busy first, my sisters and I will go outside for a turn and come back, if the old gentleman needs help, just ask"

"Huh!" Shopkeeper Du stroked his beard and smiled, walked back to the counter, picked up the uncarved flying eagle and continued to engrave, looked up and replied: "Miss Yan has a heart, in the afternoon, my two sons are going to rush over, there are not many things in the shop, you just have to busy you, when we move, the old man will wait for you to come back"

"Good!" Yan Qing smiled gratefully, and after saying goodbye to Mr. Du, he and Fang Xinrong walked out of the shop.

"Sister Yan, where are we going now?" Out of the door, Fang Xinrong asked her.
