"Good painting! What a picture! The characters are delicate and beautiful, and the colors are bright and vibrant...... It's really top-notch! As soon as he unfolded the picture scroll in his hand, he was immediately attracted, squinted his eyes, and couldn't help touching his beard with his hand.

Nodding his head, he opened another one.

Different from the bright and eye-catching picture scroll just unfolded, the color of the second volume is extremely light and elegant.

The color of the method of a way, the combination of each other, is ever-changing, can self-tune out such a unique color that people do not expect, it is really rare, goodbye to the beauty of the picture, the left picture is beautiful, gorgeous and comfortable, the details on the right and permeate the dynamic, for a time it is difficult to distinguish the equal, just because they are so beautiful that people are careful, the charm is vivid, such as immersive, beautiful.

The shopkeeper pinched his beard and looked left and right, until the guy next to him reminded him, and suddenly remembered that the person who sold the painting was still standing next to him, and immediately coughed embarrassedly, turned his head, and asked in a very polite tone to the two women who were standing quietly next to him and did not urge: "Let the two girls wait for a long time, our store plans to accept two beautiful pictures, but I don't know what the asking price is?" ”

The two of them are none other than Tan Wanqing's master and servant who is worried about the silver, and the two paintings in the hands of the shopkeeper are also the finished products that she painted and framed in two days.

Because Tan Wanqing was anxious when she painted, she was in a hurry, and speaking of which, it was not a finely crafted boutique.

But at the beginning, her artistic talent or talent was once the top column, it was a skill that could be used to cook and beg for a living, and the profound basic skills she had cultivated, even if she only had a few strokes, it was not bad, not to mention that the taste and feeling and touch of beauty she developed would not change with time.

Different from ancient to modern, her painting skills are indeed not as good as the hand-like and delicate and smooth Cheng dù of the current talents, but she has a unique and mature color and layout design, and is not limited to the thinking of this era.

She doesn't need to draw the same character landscape as the photo, nor does she have to blindly copy the ancient painting style around her, she only needs to make some slight changes to change the level and vision of the whole picture.

No one knows better than her, how to paint the characters to make the eyes more vivid, full of moving colors, how to make the clothes more glossy with a few simple strokes, the application of the white, the rendering of color levels, all just need to add a little perspective and light and shadow, to achieve the most amazing effect.

At this time, the literati pen and ink, the style of painting has been full of rhyme, the only lack of realism, but to pay too much attention to realism, will lose the rhyme in the painting, only this rhyme and realism take some, together, will present the most beautiful picture effect.

She knows her tricks in her heart, but for the shopkeeper who has never seen such a way of drawing, those tricks are full of surprise and novelty.

She didn't urge, just stood there, glanced at the painting, and then carefully observed the shopkeeper's expression, she knew that her idea was right, which was probably the same as other paintings and calligraphy, and then in the subtleties, a slight change without a trace, it was completely acceptable, and she knew that she was right when she opened her mouth to accept the painting.

Although I had inquired roughly, the price sold in the shop could not be examined, because the price charged by ** was much higher, and she had no experience in this area, so she had to ask the shopkeeper for advice: "I don't know if there is a runge that can be referenced?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu looked at the woman in front of him who was light and gentle, and had a good demeanor, and he didn't dare to slack off.

I don't know why, but all the people who can paint beautiful artistic conception of the painting, most of them are low-looking ordinary people, but some bad brushes, no painting skills, but there are a lot of good skins with good appearance, this is the regret that the world can not have both, he has reached this age, but also the first time to see such a truly stunning beauty, the painting is so extraordinary.

Beauty painting beauty is also a good story.

With such a beauty and such a talent, the shopkeeper Xu couldn't have any intention of deceiving, so he told the truth: "Girl, half of the calligraphy and paintings collected by Juxianfang are not counted according to the type, only the size of the size, the bigger the price, the size of the girl's two pictures is not large, it is really a loss." ”

Tan Wanqing was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she thought that there would be such a thing about selling calligraphy and paintings at this time, of course, this is only for works that are not famous, if it is a famous teacher, the price cannot be judged by this.

“…… Celebrity calligraphy and painting have runge, a little famous in Juxian Fang, according to a large five taels, three taels in the middle, one or two in a small way, the girl can only be regarded as a medium, Xu is the master, count the girl a three taels, how?

Tan Wanqing was silent.

"Don't hide it from the girl, this price is already extremely high, I don't believe this shop as you ask, only our Juxian Fang gives this price code."

Seeing that Tan Wanqing was still hesitating slightly, the shopkeeper immediately pulled down his face, and complained in a low voice: "Girl, your number is really not famous, a painting of three taels is stealing fun, there is no name, when it is sold, the guy can't raise the price, speaking of which, we are still a little lost, what do you say you are hesitating......

Tan Wanqing saw the shopkeeper of nearly fifty years, with a bitter face, how could there be such a begging to sell paintings, but it was a little funny, but there was also a bit of sincerity in those words, so she stopped entanglement, and said softly: "Okay, according to the price just said, trouble the shopkeeper." ”

"Oops, no trouble, no trouble! Girl, please wait. The shopkeeper Xu said twice, turned around and saw the guy stretching his neck, and directly gave him a slap, asking the guy to take the painting well, and then took the silver and handed it to Ruizhu.

said a lot of kind words, and also told him to take the silver taels, don't lose it or something like that, and send people all the way out.

Ruizhu looked back at the shopkeeper, then turned around, touched the eight taels of silver wrapped in his arms, his expression was a little excited, and he was about to say something, when he heard the young lady next to him say: "I have worked hard to set up a stall for half a month, but it is not as valuable as two pieces of paper." ”

Yes, from morning to night, it is better to have two pieces of light paper, "How can it be the same?" Ruizhu said: "Rare things are expensive, everyone can go to set up a stall, but not everyone can paint." In fact, she privately felt that Miss's painting was sold at a loss, and this painting should be placed in the capital, how could a painting be sold for one hundred and eighty taels of silver, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear that mentioning it would remind Miss of what happened in the capital.

Tan Wanqing just said casually, and when she heard her reply, she glanced at her with some surprise, "I actually know that things are rare and expensive, not bad!" ”

Rui Zhu suddenly whispered embarrassedly: "No matter how dull the slave is, listening to the old lady chewing words every day, can you learn a little......"

……

The front foot sent people away, Xu shopkeeper entered the shop, and immediately asked the two guys to open the collected paintings, carefully measure for a moment, and showed a satisfied look on his face, the only pity is that the framing is general, three points of painting and seven points of mounting, no matter how good the painting is, no good façade is not good.

If you replace the wooden scrolls with jade and ivory, and the plain silk with brocade, and then press the brocade strips, then you can sell them for a good price.

However, the price charged is by no means more than three taels.

Immediately, the shopkeeper Xu asked people to hang the painting in a conspicuous position in the shop, Jixian Fang in this street, is also a very well-known bookstore and painting workshop, the quality of calligraphy and painting style is guaranteed, so there are a lot of people coming and going.

Not long after Tan Wanqing and Ruizhu left, there were several purple fox shawls, pink silk skirts, and rich and gorgeous women, talking and laughing into Juxianfang.

As soon as he saw a few people, he was blowing his nose at the shopkeeper Xu who was blowing his nose and glaring at the two guys, and immediately smiled all the way, and trotted up with three points of lightweight, how could he still have the appearance of the fairy wind bones he was holding just now, no wonder he was so, these few people are authentic God of Wealth, rich businessmen of all sizes in Wei'an City, others don't know, how can they not know the Qu family.

The Qu family is doing a silk business, the business is big, large and small silk spreads all over Yizhou City, and even the capital has a part, and now settles in Yizhou and temporarily lives in Wei'an City.

What's more, in today's Wei'an City, who doesn't know the relationship between the Qu family and the garrison, coupled with the boldness of the shots, ordinary people can't even stutter on weekdays.

These women are the daughters of the Qu family.

All the merchants, although the waist is wrapped in thousands of dollars, the wind of extravagance is prosperous, but even if the daily delicacies of the mountains and seas, silk clothes, it is inevitable that some people will scold it behind the back of the copper smell, stinky and unsmelling, for this reason, most of the façade mansions like to use the elegant calligraphy and painting of the literati to install, the Qu family is also, whether the young master or the daughter of the family, all like to visit the bookstore, meet the one who agrees with the heart is also generous, not stingy.

There is no reason why such a good customer is not diligent.

As soon as I entered the shop, one of the women in a pink shirt and silk jacket took a fancy to a picture of a beautiful woman taking a nap hanging in the middle hall opposite at first glance.

Since ancient times, beauties are the most tempting, not only men, but also women.

"I've never seen such a painting technique, I actually draw the hair of a beautiful woman carefully, this should be a fine brushwork, the lines can be drawn so soft and natural, as if it were real."

"I'm not mistaken, the beads in my ears paint a jade luster."

A few people, you say a word, I say a word, this one I see, is the picture of a noon nap, the beauty in the picture is sitting lazily on the stone platform, holding a silk fan, bored looking back at the birds parked on the branches not far away.

The whole posture is painted vividly, the beauty of the leisure and laziness is fully displayed, the banana leaves behind the stone platform, a green color, the beauty sits on the gray-brown stone platform, a white smoke veil mopping the floor of the water skirt, the outside is loosely covered with a blue brocade coat, red trim.

Such a simple white, blue and red color, coupled with a green plantain behind it, will make the skin of the whole beauty clear and clear, the posture is charming and lazy, but it is also delicate, a string of bright moon beads in the ear, full and round, the jade ornaments between the black hair are even more transparent and elegant, even a touch of blue ring between the wrists, a few people are also fine, three or two cherries in the dish next to the stone platform, all of them are dotted, and the layout is beautiful.

The woman in the purple fox shawl, after Duan Xiang went through the clothes, fingers, and tones of the people in the painting, directly called the shopkeeper Xu, "Wrap this painting and I will take it away." ”

Shopkeeper Xu had been waiting for a long time, listening to the instructions, his eyes lit up, and he immediately called his men energetically, carefully removed the painting from under the wall, and let people wrap it carefully.

Several beautiful women only looked at it for a while, but before they could see it, they were bought by the purple fox shawl woman first, and they all had some chagrin on their faces.

"Sister, why don't you ask the price." A woman in a pink silk skirt asked the shopkeeper Xu, "What is the price of this one?" Which name. ”

The shopkeeper Xu replied with a smile: "The number of the owner of the peach blossom house, although the number does not ring, but a few girls have watched it, the painting skills are the best, and now a painting is only thirty taels, and when the name rings in the future, there is no fifty taels of silver, but I can't buy it, the girls have taken it today, and it is a ...... to earn."

"Yo, look at what you said, it seems that we buy paintings to make money, but thirty taels is really not expensive." The woman in the pink skirt didn't say anything.

The other is a colorful picture of the Se, the woman is holding the pipa, wearing a fiery red cloak, the makeup is gorgeous, but with a little loneliness, she seems to have a nostalgic look back, the wind blows her hair, the clothes flutter, is a few people who look at the painting, they all seem to feel a hunting cold wind, the characters are very exquisite and gorgeous, and the background, is full of ink clouds, there is a sense of wind and cloud change.

The ink background and bright characters form a strange desert desolate beauty, this painting was also grabbed by the woman in the purple fox shawl, which caused several other people to be silent, but think of the identity of the purple fox shawl woman, I have to look at the others,

"Both paintings are from the owner of the Peach Blossom House?" The woman in the purple fox shawl sighed when she saw the payment, and then asked: "Although this handwriting has tenacity, it is delicate and tactful, is the person who painted it a woman?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Exactly." ”

The woman in the purple fox shawl was surprised, "This is rare, the words are good and the painting is good, she is really a talented woman, if you have the opportunity, you want the shopkeeper to introduce you......"

The other people saw the other paintings in the shop, but they didn't have the amazing feeling of the previous two paintings, and after looking at them for a long time, they didn't like them, so they had to leave in a huff.

After the people left, the shopkeeper Xu hummed a little song in his mouth and sorted out the books at the counter, and the two guys who were scolded for the shit in the store were sorting out the messy paper at the door, and they had to be convinced.

The eyesight of the old shopkeeper on the dark road is the old way, and the shop next to him has received calligraphy and paintings, and the most worrying thing is that he can't sell it in his hands, but this old shopkeeper is different, no, he just collected eight taels of silver, and in a blink of an eye, his ass has not yet been hot, and he has earned more than fifty taels, which makes people unconvinced!

Here, Tan Wanqing and Ruizhu returned to the house, the warm kang in the house was hot and hot, and even the room was warmer, and they went to the outer shirt to ease the coldness on their bodies, Tan Wan was tired for two days, and when she returned to the house, she lazily lay on the thick cotton mattress for a while.

Now is the time to save money, the family food and rice are still sufficient, I don't want to spend more, but Ruizhu also feels sorry for the miss, or while she is asleep, quietly went to the fang market to buy healthy anchovies and fresh duck, poured it in the kitchen, and made the prepared casserole anchovy and duck slice soup, and boiled easy-to-digest japonica porridge, and a few bought pastries on the table.

Tan Wanqing rubbed her eyes and got up, because of the relationship between the warm kang and the heat, her face was crimson, and her lips were even more tender, although she didn't let Ruizhu spend money indiscriminately, but she had already bought it, and it was pointless to blame, she only raised her hand to take the fish soup, the soup was white and rich, and it was boiled like fresh milk, and slowly scooped a spoonful into her mouth, the taste was really delicious, and the two snacks she liked on the table, dragon whisker crisp and cloud cake, gently took a bite, and it was still the taste in her memory.
