Chapter 101: I'm here to marry your daughter
The butler said in his heart, "You still know." But this could not be said in any way, only a far-fetched smile, fortunately, the attic was not far ahead.
When he was about to see Zhou Tianque, Chen Chen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, he didn't feel any pressure when he saw Zhou Tianque before, but now as long as he thought that Zhou Tianque was his buyer, he couldn't suppress his excitement, and he felt trembling all over.
When he arrived at the bottom of the attic, Chen Chen suddenly stopped and took two deep breaths, which felt like he was going to see the best beauty.
"Hey, Young Master Chen, why don't you leave?" In order to avoid Chen Chen's chatter, the housekeeper deliberately walked in front, but when he was about to enter the door, he found that there seemed to be something missing behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Chen standing far away from him, so he hurriedly ran back and asked.
"Hey, hey, come, come." Chen Chen replied with two sentences and strode forward, with an impassioned and heroic spirit.
……
"Outside, Young Master Chen is here." The housekeeper climbed up to the attic, lifted the bead curtain to let Chen Chen in, and said.
"Chen'er, here, come, come, sit." As soon as Zhou Tianque saw Chen Chen's figure, he hurriedly got up and greeted him, with an extraordinarily courteous attitude.
"Uh...... Miss Xiaoqing is also there. As soon as Chen Chen's ass sat down, Zhou Xiaoqing's face ran into his sight, and he hurriedly stood up again and said hello.
"Chen Gongzi." Zhou Xiaoqing also stood up, bowed, and sat down.
"Ahem, Chen'er, I just heard from the housekeeper that you can also draw?" Seeing Chen Chen staring at his daughter stupidly, Zhou Tianque had a smile on his face, and he was more happy to see it, but it seemed a little inappropriate now, and he coughed heavily twice and said.
Chen'er? Who made it call that?
Chen Chen's head was covered with black lines, and Zhou Tianque's two words of morning were so cheerful that Chen Chen felt in a trance that Zhou Tianque was shouting through himself and running the big black bull Li Chen.
"Hehe, Zhou Yuanwai, you still call me Chen Chen." Chen Chen said with a smile.
Zhou Tianque didn't answer with a smile, but repeated the previous question, "You kid don't know, just now, I saw that a few maids made a fuss over one of your paintings, no, I'll let the housekeeper call you, what's the matter, I'll paint your husband first?" ”
You're a bad old man, although you're a little handsome, what's there to draw? Chen Chen complained in his heart, even if he wants to paint, he has to paint the beauty first, especially Zhou Xiaoqing's smile just now, which completely attracted Chen Chen's little heart, and he kept beating.
Seeing Chen Chen looking at his daughter, Zhou Tianque hurriedly remembered what he had overlooked, and suddenly realized: "That's right, Chen'er, you paint Qin'er first, and I'll wait for your father-in-law." ”
Zhou Tianque considers himself an empathetic and good father.
"Okay, Zhou Yuanwai, then I'll draw Miss Xiaoqing first." Chen Chen didn't refuse, this is something he can't ask for.
"Miss Xiaoqing, just sit there, hold it for thirty minutes, oh no, it's two quarters of an hour without moving, and it will be fine soon." Chen Chen said.
He is still very professional, although the beauty is eye-catching, but the task is very important, 100,000 taels of silver is not a decimal, so he must be serious.
Picked up a piece of drawing paper and spread it on the table, opened the flower cloth, and revealed the black charcoal inside.
"Hey, Chen'er, do you use this for painting? Why don't you prepare pen and ink? Zhou Tianque asked puzzled.
The housekeeper was also curious, could it be that the one or two pieces of silver he had exchanged for from Xi'er's hand before were really the paintings after they were destroyed?
And looking at Chen Chen's professional posture doesn't seem like a joke.
In fact, Chen Chen was just sitting on a stool, it would definitely be better if he had a drawing board, but it was a pity that he didn't have time to do it.
Chen Chen first compared it in front of him with charcoal, determined the proportion line, and after determining the center, he began to depict it in detail one by one, with a strict face and an extremely serious expression.
Zhou Tianque stood behind Chen Chen and watched carefully, the more he went back, the brighter his eyes became, until Chen Chen dropped the last stroke, and the two quarters of an hour he said was up.
"Okay."
After Chen Chen settled down on the last stroke, Zhou Tianque, who had been watching carefully from the beginning, couldn't help but applaud after all.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay." Chen Chen heard Zhou Tianque's praise, although he was frightened at first, but in the end he was embarrassed, and said a few words modestly, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a happy arc.
Picking up the drawing paper from the table, the people on the painting were vividly presented in front of everyone, Chen Chen walked to Zhou Xiaoqing's side, smiled and asked, "Miss Xiaoqing, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Xiaoqing took a closer look, although it would make people feel very rough when they looked closely, but if it was a little farther away, just like the distance that Chen Chen took away now, sure enough, the people in this painting seemed to be alive.
"Chen Gongzi, you only used two quarters of an hour for this painting?" Zhou Xiaoqing looked at it and asked.
"yes." Chen Chen didn't understand what Zhou Xiaoqing meant by asking, but he still answered honestly.
This should be Chen Chen's proudest place, he is not a professional art student, he can only be regarded as a half-ass, but this sketch painting is better than those majors, whether it is the quality of the painting or the speed of painting.
Zhou Xiaoqing looked at the black charcoal on the flower cloth on the ground again, "Chen Gongzi, how did you come up with the idea of using black charcoal instead of pen and ink?" ”
"Well...... "Can he say he was because he couldn't find a pencil?"
Scratching his head in annoyance, Chen Chen began to tell the story, "This is actually what I found before, my family used to be poor, I liked to paint, and I couldn't afford to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so I had to use sand as paper, wooden sticks or this charcoal as pens, so I practiced drawing, and when I was finally able to buy paper, I found out that in fact, this charcoal can actually be painted on paper, and it can also save money on pen and ink, well, that's it." ”
After speaking, Chen Chen felt that he must have created a very hard-working painter's posture for himself, which was perfect.
"That's right." Zhou Xiaoqing lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhou Tianque was in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled Chen Chen, "Chen'er, I haven't painted your father-in-law yet, hurry up and paint one for me." ”
He was already a little impatient, maintaining a poss that he thought was handsome and cool, and Chen Chen had no choice but to resign himself to starting to sketch Zhou Tianque on the drawing paper.
Zhou Xiaoqing picked up the sketch he had drawn, thinking about the story Chen Chen had just told, he felt that it would definitely not be easy for Chen Chen to become what he is now, and he didn't know what happened in the past, whether it had caused Chen Chen to suffer a lot, and he felt a little distressed in his heart when he thought about it.
Busy calming his beating heart, Zhou Xiaoqing instructed the maid to take the painting well, especially not to be next to the water, and not to touch his fingers, stood up and said goodbye to Chen Chen and Zhou Tianque, and left the attic in Chen Chen's eyes.
"Why, now you like my daughter." Looking at Chen Chen's eyes that were eager to stick to Zhou Xiaoqing's body, Zhou Tianque smiled proudly and said with the corners of his mouth curled.
"Ahem...... Draw. Chen Chen came back to his senses, and saw the playful look in Zhou Tianque's eyes, and suddenly lowered his head, pretending to be calm and drawing.
This is embarrassing, peeking at other people's daughters and being caught, this is too cupgy, hey, the beauty is not only wrong about the country but also wrong about things. Chen Chen shook his head, and his mind turned back.
I don't know if it's because my mind can't calm down, after a painting is finished, Chen Chen always feels that this painting didn't get the effect he expected.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhou Tianque took the painting and said appreciatively, but his face darkened in an instant, "Chen'er, your father-in-law's painting is not as good as Xiaoqing's." ”
The interrogating eyes fell on Chen Chen's face, and Zhou Tianque said earnestly: "Chen'er, let's be serious in our work, but we must know that beauty is easy to lure people into crimes, and a manly husband should not be mistaken by a woman." ”
"The future? Qian Cheng? Chen Chen was taken aback, Zhou Xiaoqing took the painting and left, did he say it was free before?
Brother's art may need silver to flaunt its value. So Chen Chen looked back at Zhou Tianque, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.
"Outside of Zhou, I'm okay with this painting."
"Yes, it's better than half of the people who are good at painting in Henan Province." Although he didn't understand why Chen Chen suddenly asked this, he still gave a very pertinent answer.
"It's good if the painting is good, how much silver does Zhou Yuanwai think I can sell if I paint a painting for others?" Chen Chen sighed and continued to ask.
"How much silver can you sell?"
Zhou Tianque is a businessman, and businessmen seek profits, and when he heard Chen Chen's meaning, he suddenly came to his senses, "Chen'er, do you want to take out this painting and sell it?" ”
Chen Chen nodded vigorously, isn't it just sold, if he doesn't sell it, where will he return the silver, if he can't make up 100,000 taels, he won't want to go back to modern times, the most important thing is that there must be some unknown and ominous killing machines if he stays here, maybe the system will destroy him in the next second.
After receiving Chen Chen's affirmative answer, Zhou Tianque's brows furrowed, and he was so wrinkled that he could trap mosquitoes. "Chen'er, why did you suddenly remember to sell paintings?"
He is the future son-in-law of the Zhou family, if the future son-in-law of the Zhou family goes to that street to sell paintings? The Zhou family's face must not be disgraced. Zhou Tianque didn't allow this, he couldn't even think about it.
"That, Zhou Yuanwai, to be honest, I need silver, the silver I earned with my own hands and feet, 100,000 taels." Chen Chen stretched out his hands and looked at Zhou Tianque's shocked eyes.
"One hundred thousand taels? You go and grab it. "It's not that Zhou Tianque is sarcastic about Chen Chen, it's really that 100,000 taels is not a novel for their family, and for Chen Chen, it's simply a huge number, it's simply impossible.
"How long will it take you to earn all 100,000 taels?" Zhou Tianque asked in a deep voice with a frown.
Chen Chen raised three fingers again, "Three days, I only have three days." ”
"Three days?" Zhou Tianque's eyebrows furrowed even further, "Chen Chen, you tell me honestly, do you love to gamble, so you lost to a certain field for 100,000 taels, and they limited you to pay it off within three days?" ”
An ordinary person can owe a huge amount of money of 100,000 taels, except for gambling, Zhou Tianque really can't think of anything else, if it is really what he guessed, then this son-in-law may not be able to ask for it.
"No, no, no, outside Zhou Yuan, I'm that kind of person, don't talk about gambling, I don't even know what you said the field looks like." Chen Chen hurriedly explained.
He was half-hearted, he had gone out shopping before, and all he saw were some plain things, and he really hadn't seen the casino.
"Really, not?" Zhou Tianque looked at Chen Chen with suspicious eyes, although he believed in his own vision, he quite liked this young man, but this 100,000 taels was really too big a gap, if Chen Chen couldn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to believe Chen Chen anymore.
"Oh, no, it's really not." Chen Chen was so anxious that he scratched his head, the suspicion and exploration in Zhou Yuanwai's eyes were in his eyes, he was now his own food and clothing parents, and he had to rely on him to sell paintings, Chen Chen didn't want to have any contradictions with Zhou Tianque at all, at this moment Chen Chen's brain was spinning fast, and he could catch up with the speed of the motor.
Suddenly, there was.
"Hey."
Chen Chen first took a deep breath, and the first thing to do at this time must be to bring out the atmosphere.
"Zhou Yuanwai, you know, Chen Chen has nothing, but your daughter is the daughter of the richest man, the real Bai Fumei, I don't have confidence, do you know? The time to marry her is getting closer and closer, and I can't sleep in the middle of the night in the past few days, so I think again, if I really marry Qin'er like this, am I wronged her, what will people outside say about her? As long as I think of the gossip of those people, my heart hurts for a while, so I thought, if I can achieve some results, even if it is to earn some silver, it is better to be a dowry than to marry Qin'er like this, so that she will not be wronged. ”
