The woman was a typical honest rural housewife, and she was obviously a little overwhelmed when she saw so much money, and she didn't dare to reach out to take the thousand yuan, and said to Li Tianbao: "Young man, I only need a hundred, and I don't dare to take so much if you give me so much." ”

"Take it, it's not much, in the future, if you have difficulties, you can go to the 'Antique Zhai' over there to find me, and I will give you a few thousand when the time comes."

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he handed the money to the little girl next to the woman, and then said to her: "Remember, my brother has nothing in his eyes." After speaking, Li Tianbao squeezed his eyes at the girl.

"Yes, big brother's eyes are nothing." The little girl showed a bright smile, and her originally pale face showed a hint of blush.

After thanking the woman, she took the little girl and walked into the distance, and the little one also looked back at Li Tianbao from time to time and winked at him. Li Tianbao sighed with emotion in his heart, "Children's eyes are really naturally bright, unlike us adults, who are all harmed by money and become 'snobbish'." ”

"Big brother, I'm not a snob, I really don't have any money, look at how you gave me the five thousand yuan you said." Wang Xiaoyu pulled Li Tianbao's clothes and looked at him with extremely innocent eyes.

"Less nonsense, I didn't say anything about you."

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he glanced at the antique shop next to him and found a shop called "Calligraphy and Painting Workshop".

"Let's go, I'll exchange money with my master." After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he walked towards the "calligraphy and painting workshop" by himself.

Li Tianbao walked towards the "calligraphy and painting workshop", Wang Xiaoyu behind him was in a hurry, he was really afraid that Li Tianbao would run away, and he didn't even bother to clean up the stall, so he asked the familiar stall owner next to him to help take care of it, so he hurriedly followed.

Li Tianbao walked into the "calligraphy and painting workshop" with a box containing a couplet, and was attracted by this antique decoration style as soon as he entered the door. If you have seen the imperial study of the Qing Dynasty emperor in the TV series, you can associate the simple artistic conception with the fragrance of ink in the store.

The calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, and there is no counter but a little more ancient style and a little less worldly. There is a flat wooden table in the room, and in front of the wooden table, an old man in a sixtieth armor is splashing ink on the white rice paper of the bookcase.

When Li Tianbao really saw it, a female clerk wearing a white cheongsam walked towards him, and the cheongsam on the girl's body did not have delicate and elegant patterns, but instead had a small hairy head.

The girl stepped forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Tianbao, who stretched out his finger and pressed it on his lips and "shhhh

Of course, the girl understood what Li Tianbao meant, and he didn't want to disturb the old man who was painting. Although Li Tianbao is a typical example of Yanjing City, he still has the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.

Li Tianbao and the girl waited for the old man quietly, when Wang Xiaoyu strode in, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Big brother, why are you in such a hurry, I haven't cleaned up my stall." ”

Li Tianbao sighed helplessly and said softly: "You kid is really an annoying thing, I didn't see the old man painting." ”

"Okay, I knew someone was coming in, and I'm also blind." After the old man put down the big brush in his hand, he picked up the towel next to him and wiped the ink on his hand.

Li Tianbao walked to the table and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry uncle, I bothered you to create a 'miracle'." ”

"Haha, what a 'miracle', it's just a blind painting, and we are not big artists, otherwise why would we be doing this business." Although the old man said this, he still showed a happy look on his face.

Being touted as natural and beautiful, the more old people may be, the more they need the affirmation of young people, Li Tianbao naturally knows this, don't look at his low education, but as an orphan, Li Tianbao has a lot of social experience than young people who grew up in honeypots.

"Young man, is there anything wrong with you? You don't look like a person who likes calligraphy and painting, and you're definitely not here to sell things. ”

Li Tianbao raised the box in his hand and said, "That's right, I'm here to ask if you accept calligraphy and paintings here." ”

The old man took the box, opened it neatly, and took out a scroll, but when he opened it, he saw that the scroll was a subcouplet, Li Tianbao was naturally confident, but Wang Xiaoyu on the side had not seen the things in the box, and when he saw that it was a subcouplet, his face instantly turned dead gray.

"Well, now I know that I was deceived, I told you a long time ago that the mother and daughter were liars, and you said that you bought something for a thousand yuan without looking at it."

Wang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up after speaking, and he continued: "Big brother, you have to pay me back this money yourself, I still have to do this small business, and I still have to eat, and a thousand yuan on me is my last living expenses." ”

Li Tianbao is not a taste in his heart, this kid is more annoying than the "Tang Seng" in "Journey to the West", and he was going to scold him a few words at the moment, but the old man said one step ahead of him: "Young people are impetuous, who said that couplets are not valuable, are the words on couplets not art, they are good words even if they are written on your face." ”

When Wang Xiaoyu heard this, he hurriedly asked the old man, "Then how much can this broken thing be worth?" ”

The old man glared at him and said, "If this couplet is written by your kid, I don't want any money for me." ”

After speaking, the old man glanced at Li Tianbao and said with a smile: "Although this couplet is not written by a famous artist, it is also a thing from the Republic of China period, and it still has a certain value, but it will not be too high." ”

Li Tianbao was just about to speak, but Wang Xiaoyu, who was impatient, asked first: "How much can it be worth?" ”

"If you bring it, I won't accept it, because I only accept fine calligraphy and paintings from celebrities here." After the old man finished speaking, he patted Li Tianbao on the shoulder and said, "But I fell in love with this little brother so much, I decided to make an exception to accept this couplet." ”

When Wang Xiaoyu heard this, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart, and said in her heart, "It's really better for people to die than for people to throw away goods for goods, why are people so popular." ”

Li Tianbao looked at Wang Xiaoyu with a bitter look on his face, and almost laughed out loud, but now he hurriedly got some money for this kid, so that he could take him to find the fragments of "Yuan Qinghua", after all, that is the most important thing.

"Old man, how much you give this thing, you know that it is a genuine person by looking at your kind eyebrows."

After hearing this, the old man laughed and said: "You kid is not only sensible, but also started to shoot sycophants, but sycophants are also divided into people, and your sycophants are of a hundred use to me." In this way, since I made an exception to collect it, I will give you a high price, and I will give you 10,000 yuan, what do you think? ”
