On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, this day is the day when Qingfeng Bookstore opens its art exhibition, and the exhibition lasts for six days. No one expected that it would rain heavily before dawn until the end of the hour.

After Yueyao waited for the heavy rain to stop, she rarely took Xiang Wei to the garden for a walk.

The sky washed by the autumn rain is as blue and clear as the sea. The white clouds float slowly on the water like a light boat sailing.

Yueyao walked in the garden, walked to the edge of the pond, and watched the droplets of water on the lotus leaves fall into the pond water drop by drop. Yueyao was looking at the scenery on her face, but in fact, her mind had already flown to the art exhibition. In fact, the last painting competition was Mr. Yushan took her painting to the competition without notifying Yue Yao in advance, and Yue Yao didn't know until the results came out. This time is different, I don't know how many famous Confucian artists will go to see this exhibition, Yueyao sweats in her palms as long as she thinks about it.

Xiang Wei knew that Yue Yao was nervous, and Xiang Wei had an idea, "Girl, if you don't dress up as a man, I'll take you to take a look." "Ever since Yueyao dressed as a man, Xiang Wei has been very fond of using this to tease Yueyao.

Yue Yaoyao nodded and said, "Xiang Wei, you go!" "The last time a woman dressed as a man was to get the most authentic material, this time if a woman dressed as a man, she wouldn't have to live if she was discovered.

Xiang Wei smiled: "Cheng, I'll go in the afternoon." In fact, Xiang Wei felt that the time for the painting to unfold this time was actually quite good, at least during this time, Yueyao's attention was all on the art exhibition, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the Shen family and the Su family.

Xiang Wei dressed as a man and no one noticed it, but when she arrived at Qingfeng Bookstore, she saw a lot of people inside.

In this exhibition held by Qingfeng Bookstore, there were originally a total of 40 paintings on display, and the authors of these exhibited paintings were all very famous in the capital, so they attracted a lot of people. If it weren't for Mr. Yushan, Yueyao wouldn't have been able to plug in halfway. Under the strong mediation of Mr. Yushan, Qingfeng Bookstore agreed to leave a corner to display Yueyao's paintings. Although the location is not conspicuous, it is enough to occupy a corner of the exhibition to give Mr. Yushan face, so having a good teacher can enjoy a lot of convenience as an apprentice.

Yueyao's ten paintings, all hung in the corners.

Mr. Yushan not only has a good relationship with Qingfeng Bookstore, he also invited many old friends to evaluate Yueyao's paintings, and with the praise of these people, Yueyao's paintings are highly evaluated. Of course, these people can give Mr. Yushan face to come and see Yueyao's paintings, but they can give a high evaluation of the paintings themselves, and the highest evaluation is naturally "South Street Market Map", that is, Huang Lao and Feng Lao were amazed by this painting.

In addition, Xiang Wei used the power of the Marquis of Jingning Mansion to fuel the flames behind the scenes, and it was difficult for the mountain and wild monks to become famous.

The reputation of the mountain and wild people is getting louder and louder, and the streets and alleys are talking about this mysterious mountain and wild people. You must know that since the mountain and wild monks won the second place in the painting competition three years ago, it seems that the world has evaporated, and no one thought that in just three years, the art of painting has reached a higher level.

Ma Chengteng also watched the exhibition, and after reading it, he came back and complained to Yueyao, "There are so many good paintings, I haven't seen any of them." In the future, if there is a good painting, you have to show me the first one. Ma Chengteng complained, but the corners of his mouth kept rising. This time when he went to see the painting, he heard the people around him praise Yueyao's paintings, not to mention his pride, if Yueyao didn't want people to know his identity, he wanted to tell those mountain monks on the spot that it was his niece.

Yue Yao was also very happy, being affirmed by so many people made Yue Yao more confident in herself, "Uncle, if you get a good painting in the future, you must let your uncle see it." ”

Ma Chengteng frowned and said, "I remember that you don't seem to have sent me a painting yet?" When you've made another good drawing, be sure to give me a copy. "No matter how you look at it, you have to collect my niece's paintings!

Yue Yao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After the six-day exhibition, the paintings were auctioned, and Yueyao's ten paintings were handed over to Mr. Yushan for processing, and Mr. Yushan only took out three of the other nine paintings for auction in addition to the "South Street Market Map".

The three paintings were sold for a total of 3,600 taels of silver, and Qingfeng Bookstore took 10% of the handling fee, and Yueyao got more than 3,000 taels of silver.

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "Girl, you are now famous all over the world." "The previous "Hanmei Lady" was sold for 1,200 taels because it was Mr. Yushan's pen, but now it is real.

Yue Yao looked at the silver ticket, and suddenly sighed with emotion, her initial plan was to make painting as a skill and make a living in the future, but she didn't expect to have her current achievements. Yue Yao listened to Xiang Wei's words, shook her head and said, "I'm far worse than my teacher. "Yueyao never thought that she would create a new style in the art world, she felt that as long as she painted with her own heart, she would become it. Yueyao's biggest expectation is to reach the height of Mr. Yushan, and she doesn't think about anything else.

Mr. Yushan came to the door again, and it was already the sixth day of the end of the auction. Mr. Yushan gave Yueyao a booklet made by him, Huang Lao, Feng Lao, and several other masters in the painting world on her paintings, "Yueyao, I hope you can continue to make persistent efforts." "Mr. Yushan is very confident in Yueyao, as long as Yueyao is very confident, as long as Yueyao can continue to work hard like this, she will definitely be in a class of her own in the future.

Yue Yao smiled: "Don't worry, teacher, I will." ”

Mr. Yushan is really a little sorry for Yueyao now, if it is a man, Yueyao can go out for a walk and broaden his horizons, and his future achievements may be higher than he expected, but it's a pity.

As soon as Yue Yao calmed down, she heard that the news of Su Yuzhen's falling into the water had been spread. At this time, the Su family and the Shen family couldn't cover it if they wanted to.

Yueyao was surprised, "Who spread this?" ”

Xiang Wei saw Yueyao staring at her, and hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, it's not me, girl, there were so many people who saw this incident at that time, there will always be one or two who accidentally leaked it, but it's good for this matter to be spread." ”

Yue Yao said: "It's been more than half a month, if it's not someone with a heart, who will spread it at this time, but I don't know what this person's purpose is?" ”

Xiang Wei was quite interested, "Girl, do you want to check it out?" ”

Regarding the female guard beside her who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Yueyao said that she had a headache, "No, let's just wait and see." "As long as they don't spread this matter, they don't implicate their uncle. As for who passed it on and what the purpose was, she didn't want to pay attention to it, and she didn't want to deal with the Shen family and the Su family.

Yueyao is quiet here, but the Shen family is not calm now.

Shen Qian looked at the Mu clan with an angry face, "Why did this happen? ”

Although the Mu family didn't like Yueyao and always wanted to quit her family, she didn't think of using such a method. Facing her husband's questioning, Mu cried and shouted: "This is also a coincidence, master, now the top priority is to think about how to solve the problem?" "It's already like this, and it's no use complaining.

Shen Qian said with a solemn face: "The family affairs of the Lian family must not be retreated. "Lian Dongbo is kind to him, and now Yueyao has no father and mother, if he quits this family business, he will be despised. The most important thing for a scholar is reputation, if the reputation is gone, the career will be over.

The most troublesome thing about this matter is that the son saved the girl of the Su family, offended Xiangye, and his career was over. It's a real dilemma.

The Mu family naturally knew that the Lian family's relatives could not retreat, and said immediately: "Master, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, as long as the Prime Minister's Mansion can loosen his mouth, this matter can be solved very well." "It's not good to let it go around outside, and it's not appropriate for Hao'er.

Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, we can't retreat from the family's family affairs. Other than that, everything else is easy to talk about. "On the premise of not withdrawing from the family's affairs, even if the Su family makes any excessive requests, they can only accept it.

Su Xiang was also very annoyed when he learned about this incident, but this incident was an accident after all, and it was not intentional for anyone, so Su Xiang let his daughter-in-law deal with it first. I really can't deal with it, and he will come forward when the time comes.

Mrs. Su had a headache, because Su Yuzhen had made it clear that she would not marry anyone in her life except Shen Conghao, and if she couldn't marry Shen Conghao, she would rather become a nun. Mrs. Su is such a biological daughter as Su Yuzhen, where is she willing to let her daughter suffer this crime.

Mrs. Su saw the Mu family, and when she heard the words of the Mu family, she would not retire from the Lian family. Mrs. Su didn't think about it, and immediately asked people to send Mu out. It's also a shame that this Mu family dares to open his mouth and does not withdraw from the family's family affairs, do they still want her daughter to be a concubine, they really dare to think.

Mrs. Su was furious, "Do you want Zhen'er to be Shen Conghao's concubine?" "Let's not say that she doesn't agree, if the old lady knows, she will definitely reward Zhen'er with a foot of white silk.

The mother-in-law beside Mrs. Su said: "Madam, it's not for the girl to be a concubine, but you must choose a proper method." Madam, although Lian Yueyao has a good reputation outside, she is only an orphan girl in the final analysis. Our girl is still afraid that she will not succeed? "This mother-in-law means to propose Su Yuzhen to the Shen family as his wife, and Yueyao as his wife.

Mrs. Su's brain hurt a little, "Let me think again." "The reputation of robbing people is always unpleasant.

The Mu family got the words of the Su family and felt that this method was very good. It's just that Shen Qian disagreed, his son has been married to Yueyao since he was a child, and now because of this accident, Yueyao is asked to be his wife, what will others think of it then?

After thinking for a long time, Mu Shi said: "Master, you don't see it like this, even the girl and Miss Su are both wives, regardless of size." Whoever has a son will be the greatest. ”

Shen Qian thought about it for a long time, and felt that this method was not bad, the family inheritance relied on the heir, and it was normal for whoever gave birth to a son to be the oldest.
