"Mother, what are you doing with the calligraphy and paintings in your room?" Before going out, Long Xiaoyun saw Xia Xiyan take a pair of calligraphy and paintings from the front hall, so he asked her curiously.

Xia Xiyan rolled up the paintings, packed them in a cloth bag, and then told Long Xiaoyun, "I thought about it, or let you get those calligraphy and paintings back by yourself." So take this painting with you, hello go and sell it again. ”

Xia Xiyan originally planned for her to come forward to get those calligraphy and paintings back, but later she wanted to let Long Xiaoyun come forward to ask for it, and watch her deal with things, it was better to let him try it himself, and she was watching from the sidelines, and she could also examine how effective she had been in educating Long Xiaoyun in the past few days.

Long Xiaoyun has always been well-behaved in front of her, and whether it is as he promised her to the outside world, Xia Xiyan has no bottom in her heart.

"Mother, do you want to sell it?" Long Xiaoyun looked at Xia Xiyan with some doubts, and Xia Xiyan walked away while telling him how to act when he met the shopkeeper later.

"Mother, Yun'er knows, Yun'er must get all the calligraphy and paintings back."

Long Xiaoyun puffed up his chest and assured Xia Xiyan, Xia Xiyan nodded to him, and then found an inconspicuous place to stand, and motioned to Long Xiaoyun to go to the shop that pit him.

"Yo, Young Master Long is here again, please come in quickly, please come in, what are you going to sell today!" Boss Zhang, the shopkeeper of the shop, saw Long Xiaoyun appear outside the shop, so he smiled like a flower and eagerly greeted him.

Xia Xiyan looked at the boss on the other side as if he saw a good wealth boy, and welcomed Long Xiaoyun in with a gleam in his eyes, and wanted to take Long Xiaoyun to the back room of the store, but Long Xiaoyun listened to her instructions and did not follow up, but directly took out the painting in his hand, and asked the boss in the hall how much he would pay this time.

The boss persuaded him a few times and wanted to ask Long Xiaoyun to come into the back room to talk, but Long Xiaoyun said impatiently that he wanted to sell the painting quickly and get the money to go out to play.

When Boss Zhang saw him like this, he thought it was Long Xiaoyun's child's playful nature, so he was ready to take advantage of the fact that other guests were not paying attention, and quickly bought the painting in Long Xiaoyun's hand.

Boss Zhang looked at the calligraphy and painting, and found that it was a famous flower and bird picture, looking at the delicate brushwork, the smile on the boss's face was a little thicker, and then said to Long Xiaoyun, "Young Master Long, this painting is worth a maximum of 40 taels of silver, but Long Xiaoyun has been selling calligraphy and paintings to me, and I also read Long Xiaoyun's good, this time I still give Master Long fifty taels according to the price of the last calligraphy and painting." ”

"Fifty taels?" Long Xiaoyun deliberately raised his voice and asked the boss, "This painting, the shop opposite you opened for me is five thousand taels!" ”

Boss Zhang listened to Long Xiaoyun's words, his expression froze, and then asked Long Xiaoyun in disbelief, "Young Master Long went to ask about the selling price of other calligraphy and paintings?" ”

"Yes, after asking, I found out that I have been deceived by you all along!" Long Xiaoyun raised his eyes and said to the boss, Boss Zhang noticed the fierceness in Long Xiaoyun's eyes, and his back was a little cold.

Seeing Long Xiaoyun's young face later, it made his already tense nerves relax a little, Long Xiaoyun is now just a hairy child who is less than six years old, how ruthless can he be.

"I'm afraid Long Xiaoyun has misunderstood, your calligraphy and paintings are just ordinary calligraphy and paintings, and you can only buy them at that price." Boss Zhang thought of Long Xiaoyun's grade, and relaxed Long Xiaoyun in his heart, and then laughed and continued to fool Long Xiaoyun, Long Xiaoyun saw Boss Zhang's perfunctory treatment of him, so he snorted coldly at him, and questioned him with the voice that everyone in Boss Zhang's shop heard, "Ordinary calligraphy and painting, Yan Zhenqing's real handwriting is also ordinary calligraphy and painting, Cheng Miao's flower and bird drawings are ordinary calligraphy and paintings, and Wu Daozi's "Ten Finger Zhong Kui Picture" is also ordinary"

Every time Long Xiaoyun said something, the boss's face turned pale, he dared to pit Long Xiaoyun because he was young, he didn't know calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't remember what calligraphy and painting he sold, as long as he bit it was ordinary calligraphy and painting, then others didn't see those calligraphy and paintings, so what he said those paintings were, it was what it was. However, Long Xiaoyun now remembered all these famous works, and also announced them to attract the attention of the customers of his shop, and they all gathered around.

"Wu Daozi's "Ten Finger Bell Kui Picture" how can it be an ordinary painting, don't say something ridiculous if you don't understand!" An old man who was a little old, when he heard Long Xiaoyun's words, he couldn't help but remind him.

Long Xiaoyun was interjected by him, and he was about to glare at him with great displeasure and ask him not to interject, but when he saw Xia Xiyan who had been looking at him on the other side of the shop, he quickly suppressed his displeasure, and instead said to the old man with a smile and kindness, "The kid doesn't know calligraphy and painting, so I came to ask the store for advice, and he told me so." ”

"Shopkeeper, how can you talk like that!" The people around listened to Long Xiaoyun's words, and they also focused on the boss with the wrong expression next to him, and blamed him.

Boss Zhang saw that there were many people around, and he was afraid that Long Xiaoyun would expose his despicable behavior of buying more than a dozen of his calligraphy and paintings at a very low price, so he looked at Long Xiaoyun nervously, and Long Xiaoyun saw that the other party was afraid of exposing the ugly things he was doing, so he took out the list in his sleeve and handed it to him and said, "I think the store knows what these are, I was very dissatisfied with the original price, and I was so dissatisfied that I thought we should go to the government for a trip." ”

The boss took the list, only glanced at it, and immediately pinched his hand with a little shaking, not letting the guests who were looking around him see it, but shouted to the shopkeeper to greet the other guests, and he solemnly invited Long Xiaoyun into the inner hall to speak again.

This time, Long Xiaoyun looked at Xia Xiyan who was standing not far from the door, and saw that Xia Xiyan had been looking at this side, so he didn't refuse and followed him in.

"Young Master Long, I'll give you another five thousand taels of each of those calligraphy and paintings!" The boss knew that Long Xiaoyun knew some buying prices from other stores, so he was ready to make up the difference, and then asked Long Xiaoyun not to pursue his fraud and go to the government.

They businessmen are most afraid of getting into lawsuits, or this kind of lawsuit about reputation.

"Five thousand taels, what about you sending Hanako? You know better than me how much those calligraphy and paintings are worth, a pair of 5,000 taels, but you can buy more than 50,000 taels to the outside world! When Long Xiaoyun came, he already knew the value of the calligraphy and paintings he bought from Xia Xiyan, and some of the monuments were simply priceless collectibles. He sold it for fifty taels at the beginning, which made Long Xiaoyun feel a hot pain on his face, so he looked at Boss Zhang's eyes and became unkind.

"Fifty thousand taels is too much!" When the shopkeeper heard Long Xiaoyun mention 50,000 taels, he knew that Long Xiaoyun already knew the value of calligraphy and painting, and he didn't dare to lower the price and raise the purchase price again. "Young Master Long, I'll give you another 10,000 taels for each painting, and our business will be settled!"

"10,000 taels will be clear, do you treat me as dough, knead it flat and round as you like. Hum! I don't want to talk nonsense with you now, I give you two choices, either give me 50,000 taels for each painting, or we will go to the official master to decide, you deceived me when I was young and deceived my family's thirteen blessings to collect famous paintings, I don't know what criminal punishment you have to receive, I remember that 'fraud' money is too much, it is to tattoo the words and exile, my thirteen blessing calligraphy and paintings, how can there be hundreds of thousands of taels, I don't know how many words you want to pierce, exile thousands of miles. After Long Xiaoyun finished speaking, he showed a somewhat weird smile to the boss, and the smile with the desire to destroy made Long Xiaoyun's little face make Boss Zhang's breath stagnate.

"Shopkeeper, which one do you want to choose?" Long Xiaoyun asked, Boss Zhang saw that Long Xiaoyun was confident, and thought that even if Long Xiaoyun was not here in Xingyunzhuang now, but Li Xunhuan's reputation in Chang'an, as well as the prestige of Tanhua back then, then if Long Xiaoyun really sued him for 'fraud', the punishment he might suffer was really exile.

When the boss thought of Li Xunhuan, he brushed off in a cold sweat, and then shook his lips and said to Long Xiaoyun, "I don't have so much money to eat those thirteen paintings, can I only sell three of them, and return the rest to Young Master Long." ”

"Bring all those paintings." Long Xiaoyun listened to the boss's words, did not agree or object to his suggestion, and asked him to go and bring all the calligraphy and paintings first, and the boss immediately ran to the backyard to get all the calligraphy and paintings

"I bought a pair of characters a few days ago, and these are the remaining twelve calligraphy and paintings." The boss put those calligraphy and paintings in front of Long Xiaoyun, Long Xiaoyun opened them one by one, and made sure that they were the ones he sold, and then looked up and said, "If you want to return ten pairs, the price of the other three pieces is 100,000 taels each, and you have to remove these few pieces, if you want to use these pictures, it will be 150,000 taels each." ”

Long Xiaoyun picked out the most valuable calligraphy and paintings he knew from Xia Xiyan, and then spread out the bottom line of his acceptance with the boss.

The boss listened to Long Xiaoyun's words, couldn't help wiping the sweat on his head, and no longer dared to underestimate Long Xiaoyun's scheming, the price he separated the calligraphy and painting was just a little higher than the market price.

"Young Master Long, I don't have so much money in my hand, so take another pair, pay you 120,000, and take back the rest of the calligraphy and paintings immediately." The boss calculated the lowest loss in his heart, the last time he sold the painting was sold for 70,000 yuan, so he can make some money when he takes another painting now, and he didn't lose too much to discuss with Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun didn't want to spare Boss Zhang so lightly, but he was afraid that Xia Xiyan would wait outside the store for a long time, so he took out a pair of calligraphy and paintings and threw it to the boss, and then said, "Give me 120,000 taels quickly, I have to go home for dinner!" ”

The boss glanced at the painting that Long Xiaoyun threw to him, and his face turned pale, that painting was the calligraphy and painting in Long Xiaoyun's hand, the collection value was relatively low, and the highest sale to the outside world could only be sold for 40,000 taels. But he is not good at negotiating the price with Long Xiaoyun again, because if he provokes Long Xiaoyun to sue him for fraud, if the government pays attention to it, according to the current criminal law, he will not be good. It's just that he can accept a loss of tens of thousands now.

"Okay, young master Long, please wait a moment, I'll go get the silver ticket right away!" The boss tried to make himself smile and talk to Long Xiaoyun, Long Xiaoyun nodded at him with his chin, he ran back to the backyard to get the silver ticket, and then came out and handed the money to Long Xiaoyun with both hands dripping with blood.

Long Xiaoyun took it in his arms casually, and then motioned to the boss with his eyes to help him pack all those calligraphy and paintings.

The boss quickly put away all the calligraphy and paintings, and then without Long Xiaoyun pointing him out, he immediately called a subordinate.

"Hurry up and pick up these calligraphy and paintings, and send them home with Young Master Long!" The boss saw that the people had already hugged those calligraphy and paintings, and then turned around and sent Long Xiaoyun out of the store with a stiff smile and said, "Young Master Long, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you, you just go slowly!" ”

Long Xiaoyun ignored the boss, and took the subordinate to Xia Xiyan's side.

"Mother, I'm coming back!" Long Xiaoyun approached Xia Xiyan, and immediately ran to Xia Xiyan's side with a smile and spoke, "Mother, those calligraphy and paintings are going back to eleven pairs, and two are twelve."

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it!" When Xia Xiyan heard that Long Xiaoyun was on the street, he was about to say that he had a large amount of income, so he immediately stopped it. Although Long Xiaoyun didn't know why Xia Xiyan didn't let him finish, he obediently stopped talking and didn't say anything more, and followed Xia Xiyan to Xingyunzhuang with the subordinate who was holding calligraphy and painting.

Long Xiaoyun secretly looked at Xia Xiyan all the way, looked at Xia Xiyan's face for a while, and looked at Xia Xiyan's hand on his side for a while, but Xia Xiyan looked at the surrounding stalls with some curiosity.

When Xia Xiyan suddenly felt the heat in her palm, she looked down and saw Long Xiaoyun's hand, and took the initiative to take her hand.

"Mother, let's go home quickly!"
