The next morning, Fuyou and the other three came to the Jade Dragon Paper Store early, and Shopkeeper Zhou let them into the back room. The room was not small, just a lot of stuff. In addition to a lot of stock paper on the shelves, there is also a large mounting case and a few movable mounting paper walls. Yesterday, I bumped into a young man with a full arms who was framing in front of the case, wearing an apron, and pasting the words with his heart on the paper wall with a mane brush. The work is swift, free and capable. Hearing the movement, he looked back and smiled at Fuyou: "Coming?" A few sit down first, Sister Yu'er, serve tea! ”

The woman in black said, "The fish is out, sister, come." After a while, the tea was brought up: "Two gentlemen, please use tea." She placed the first bowl of tea in front of Fuyou, her eyes fixed on Fuyou's face. The eyes are hot, like two hooks, and they hold on. In that era, there were not many girls who looked at men so boldly, and even Fuyou was a little uncomfortable and turned his eyes elsewhere. The woman in black smiled, put another cup of tea in front of Ma Ping, and went down with the tray. Fuyou's eyes returned to the frame boy's body, and he saw that the young man was focused and meticulous, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

The horseman pointed at the young man, stretched out his thumb, and whispered to Fuyou: "This kid is very authentic in his work!" ”。

The young man raised his eyes and looked at the horseman, and said with a smile, "This gentleman must be an expert." ”

"Connoisseurs don't dare, a little bit of it. This brother, do you still have a calligraphy and painting pool here? ”

"We rarely take on outside work, and sometimes we can frame the calligraphy written by our father. Occasionally, other shops will take the ancient paintings they receive to uncover, and some of the paintings are too valuable and damaged to sell. ”

"So you can still uncover it? It's not simple, it's not simple". Master Ma was amazed.

At this time, I heard the voice of the shopkeeper Zhou greeting the guests outside: "Two of you, please come in, sit down and rest first, Changlin, pour tea!" ”

I only heard a shrill voice say: "It's not necessary to drink tea, Shopkeeper Zhou, please take a look at these things." ”

"Oh, it's easy to say. You've got a lot of good stuff. Take a look below, well, this painting is Tang Yin's 'Tongshan Picture', but this pond is too simple, this is a gold-inlaid enamel tableware, this one, this is a red coral bowl. ”

The person who came with the sharp voice was a little anxious: "You just said how much silver it is worth, right?" ”

As soon as he heard that this person was not in business, or that he was too eager to get rid of it, the shopkeeper Zhou was very simple and said, "These three pieces of yours are worth eight thousand taels of silver, which is estimated at the bottom." If there is a real buyer, it is estimated that this price will not be given. ”

"In this way, you can stay, and we will save trouble." Said in a shrill voice.

"Look at this store, all the goods add up to not worth a piece of yours, what should I keep?" I'm sorry for the two of you, but you're going to take a look elsewhere? ”

At this time, the young man who was framing the painting put down the work in his hand and went out to pick up the conversation: "Wait, uncle, Mr. Ma, who just came to deliver the painting, also mentioned that his master wanted to buy a few things that he could get his hands on." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Is Steward Ma gone? Why don't you let him see it? ”

"I'm not leaving, I'm waiting for his frame."

The sharp voice was a little scared, and asked the shopkeeper Zhou in a low voice: "What horse butler, is it reliable?" ”

"You are a strange guest, you are in a hurry to sell things, and you are afraid, what are you afraid of? The owner of this horse steward is a big business, and besides, the ones you bring are all small pieces, and it is a matter of whether people can take a fancy to your things. However, it seems that your stuff is not bad, why don't you talk to Mr. Ma? ”

"This, this ......" the sharp voice was still afraid.

The young man was still anxious: "Uncle, then you don't care about this idle matter, can't you?" You can sell other people's things however you want. ”

The helpless look of the shopkeeper Zhou: "Aren't I anxious for the two guest officers, since the two don't want to make a move, forget it, Zhou thinks that he can meet the buyer now, or a big businessman, you sell a few things to him together to save more trouble, okay, okay, forget it." Long'er, do your job! ”

"Wait a minute, this son, if that Mr. Ma is here, please invite him out to see the goods, if he is optimistic, go back and report to his master, we have done this deal." Sharp Voice finally made up his mind.

The shopkeeper Zhou said: "You gentleman, yes, don't make money when doing business like you." Let's talk about it first, Steward Ma is just our customer, and he is not familiar with it, so you can talk about this price. ”

"That's, that's." Sharp voice hurriedly said.

Shopkeeper Zhou said to Long'er: "Then you can invite Steward Ma out." ”

Long Er entered, and after a while, the horseman came out shaking a fan, and after a few greetings, he said, "Young Master Fang Cai Long said that you two have a few antiques to sell, can you take a look at them below?" ”

The shrill voice opened his baggage. The horsemen looked carefully one by one, put them on the counter and tasted them for a long time, shook their heads and said, "The things are not bad, but why are they all small goods?" Isn't it big? My lord is doing a large business, what's the point of just a few pieces? Forget it! ”

"Hey, Mr. Ma, don't worry, there are ten in total. Besides, it's not the size of the thing that is worth the money. ”

"Ten pieces? What else? Get some valuable. What, didn't bring? Tomorrow this batch of calligraphy and paintings will be dry, and the day after tomorrow it will be taken to the south, you can forget it. ”

"Bring it tomorrow at noon." The sharp voice hurriedly said, for fear that the customer would not want it.

"Well, it's okay, with the face of Shopkeeper Zhou, I'll believe you once. Is your stuff reliable? But the right way? Otherwise, my lord will not have time to fight a lawsuit. Ma Ping said matter-of-factly.

"Right way, right way, right way! See you tomorrow at noon? "The shrill voice and the big man slipped away like a snake on the ground.

While the horses were whirling around with their sharp voices, Fuyou, Tian Guard, and Long Er were inside. Long Er was busy with his work, and he couldn't accompany Fuyou at all, so he could only sit and wait and watch Long Er work. I really admire the neatness and free and easy energy, this child's appearance is very delicate, the skin is white, tender, it looks a little thin, it looks good when he smiles, and he has dimples when he laughs. When you do the work, you're superior. First of all, it is very organized, what things are placed in what place is very well known, not messy, and clean and refreshing, clean up while drying, never dragging mud and water, fast speed, steady and steady without panic. Maybe he was too involved in the work, and he completely forgot that there were two people in the same room with him.

Gradually, Fuyou saw that the way he was working was coming, and it seemed to be an uncomplicated job, but it was very technical: the paper was soaked, not to mention picking it up and sticking it on the paper wall neatly, and it was difficult to say whether it could be picked up or not. Paper is not the same as cloth, it does not have much tension, and it will be soaked when you brush the paste; In addition, the words and drawings on the top should not spoil the picture because they are wet. If you make a mess of the work you take, you have to pay for it, and if you encounter a sincere slander, it's even more troublesome. Seeing that this child is very skilled in his work, it seems that it is not a day's work.

Long Er also glanced at Fuyou a few times occasionally, and dared to conclude that the middle-aged uncle in front of him was definitely not a businessman, although he was very kind and always smiling, but there was a kind of momentum of a superior person between his eyebrows, an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty. Under the handsome appearance, there is still a bit of elegance, and at the same time, there is a heroic spirit, a general's demeanor, in short, he is not an idle person. He also found that the uncle was observing himself, and his eyes were very loving, like an elder to a junior. The young man standing beside him was also looking at Long'er, but he tried not to let Long'er find out. Long Er can understand the eyes of the two guest officers very well, in this room, they are sitting and standing facing him, so he can't look at other places with his face away, right?

Fuyou thinks that this teenager is very attractive, and he belongs to the type of person who looks better and better, and the more he looks at it, the more he is scrutinized. His eyes are very bright and delicate, and he belongs to the beautiful type of Danfeng eyes. It's just that I heard that Danfeng's eyes are all single eyelids, but this child has big double eyelids. The eyebrows are long, and the eyelashes are long, curled up like a small fan; The bridge of the nose is high, the lips are not thin or thick, the body is slender, the slender is tall, the skin is also very fair, delicate, and the clothes are loose. If I'm not mistaken, it must be a girl, or a particularly beautiful girl. Loose-fitting clothing is worn to hide a woman's physical features. Pretending to be a boy must be for business convenience, which is understandable, and people who are not familiar with it can still ask if they are men or women? Fuyou observes this child with the mentality of an elder, and thinks it is quite likable.

Tian Guard, who was standing behind Fuyou, also saw that this was a girl, and he fell in love with this girl at first sight. He tried his best to hide his face's enthusiastic heartbeat, and looked away, but he couldn't resist the attraction of this beautiful girl, and from time to time he quickly swept Long'er's face away, and quickly moved away. Long Er didn't seem to care about the young man's eyes, her attention was mainly on the work in her hands.

After a while, another young man came in, and when he saw Wang Ye and Tian Liang, he restrained himself, and looked at Long'er. Long Er whispered: "It's okay, they are guest officers who are here to do business, we can do whatever we have to do."

This new teenager is undoubtedly also a girl, as if she is the maid of the dragon. The man is very beautiful, with big apricot eyes, watery, also goose egg face, white skin, slightly shorter than a dragon, and a slender and well-proportioned body. She came in and began to help Long'er, as if she was also a person who knew this well.

The air in the room was a little tense, and in order to ease the tension, Long'er instructed the girl later: "Yu'er, you can refill the tea for the guest officer." ”

"Yes, the fish will go."

Although the girl named Yu'er is helping Young Master Long'er, her work skills and proficiency seem to be on par with Long'er. Gradually, the prince found that this fish was a little flustered, and his face was red, and he understood: "Under the 'public eye' of the two big men, he is a little shy, or he may have taken a fancy to Tian Liang behind him." It is not surprising that young boys and girls fall in love at first sight. To say that the appearance of the year is also comparable, but the time is too short, and he is just a passerby. If Liangzi has this thought, it would be easy to say, after all, it is a relationship with the shopkeeper Zhou. However, Fuyou felt that that dragon seemed to be more suitable for Tian Liang.

At this moment, Ma Ping and the sharp-throated man agreed on the time of the next meeting, and the three of them thanked the shopkeeper Zhou again and again, and got up and went home. On the way, the prince asked Ma Ping: "Can you be sure that the eunuch's father-in-law took the few pieces that were lost in the palace?" You've been on an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so don't let him recognize you. “

"The things must be in the ten pieces that the emperor said, yes, I have managed these, and I should not admit my mistakes. As for the father-in-law, who can steal antiques, is the person from the East Palace. I haven't seen it in the Ministry of Internal Affairs either. Besides, I didn't hang out when I was on an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and few eunuchs knew me. And I didn't have a long time in the Ministry of Internal Affairs before I was sent to the Ministry of Industry, so don't worry. ”

"I heard the emperor say that these fathers-in-law are all powerful, one by one monkey spirits, their life goals are silver and property, we really have to be careful."

"What you're saying is that being careful can make a ship of ten thousand years."
