Zhong Niangzi smiled when she heard this: "It's a coincidence that I came today. In the past, the paintings of the Heavenly Princesses were not often published, and they were immediately set when they came out. Now it can be appreciated by the girls. ”

Hui Yu wondered in her heart, who is this Heavenly Prince, who is so respected by Zhong Niangzi.

followed the shopkeeper into the shop, and at first glance this store was no different from other shops.

A few sets of tables and chairs were placed in the small space, and the wall facing the inner courtyard was completely demolished, but a curtain of bamboo curtains was rolled, and the view and lighting were excellent, which suddenly made the room seem a lot more spacious.

The shopkeeper led Huiyu and the others to sit on the table and chairs inside, went to make a pot of tea, and said, "The ladies and ladies will have a sip of tea first, and the shopkeeper will come over in a while." ”

As soon as I took a sip of tea, I heard a woman's voice sound: "My sister hasn't been here for a long time, why do you have time to come and sit with my sister today?" ”

Huiyu looked back and saw a woman in her twenties, with a goose egg face, a slender body, wearing a plain long skirt, only a waist scarf hanging diagonally around her waist, smiling, and slowly walked over.

Zhong Niangzi also smiled: "I haven't been here for a long time, I don't know how my sister is doing?" Business is still as good as ever? ”

The shopkeeper sat on the chair next to Mrs. Zhong, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "My sister doesn't come often, and there is one less treasure in the store, but I haven't been busy, and I have received several orders less even in business." ”

It turns out that Mrs. Zhong is still earning extra money outside, no wonder her food and clothing are better than Mrs. Wu and her on weekdays.

Zhong Niangzi didn't seem to mind exposing the matter of making extra money in front of her and Duo Yu, and continued to say to the shopkeeper: "You are less blind and poor in me, obviously you are lazy, don't blame me." He introduced her again: "It's really the third and fourth girls of the Chu family." If you want to choose and give a gift to the second girl of the Chu family, you can find a few suitable calligraphy and paintings for them to see. Show me the painting of the Heavenly Prince. ”

The shopkeeper was also happy. Said: "I know that you are worried about the paintings of the Heavenly Prince." Wait a minute, I'll take the calligraphy and paintings. ”

Wait for the shopkeeper to leave. Duo Yu asked, "Who opened this shop?" What do you call the shopkeeper? ”

Zhong Niangzi said: "The one just now is the boss, known as Shu Niangzi." I was a sister to the same teacher. ”

I see, no wonder Mrs. Zhong is so familiar with her.

After a while, Shu Niangzi came over. There were several calligraphy and paintings in his hand. said, "Sister, can you help me move this teapot?" ”

Zhong Niangzi hurriedly moved the teapot and teacups, and Shu Niangzi called the shopkeeper to come over and spread a piece of red silk cloth, and then carefully put the calligraphy and painting in her hand on the table.

The first painting was unfolded first, which was a picture of autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom. It was made by a well-known painter in Beijing, and the painting was powerful and vivid.

Mrs. Zhong nodded. Said: "Ning's skill is still the same as it was back then, and this simple chrysanthemum painting is lifelike." ”

Shu Niangzi said: "Ning painters are far away in the capital, and it is very rare to spread to the northwest. It's a rare painting to come out. ”

After finishing putting away the chrysanthemum blooming picture, I opened a calligraphy copy. wrote a poem praising the ladies in the previous dynasty, which is also in line with the situation of the ceremony.

Zhong Niangzi also introduced.

Later calligraphy and paintings were nothing more than landscape drawings and verse calligraphy.

Huiyu saw the same, and she was a little aesthetically tired when she saw the back.

Duo Yu was also dizzy when she watched it.

In the end, Zhong Niangzi was in charge, and she picked the first chrysanthemum blooming picture and Yongmei's poem copybook.

bargained with Shu Niangzi again, and finally looked at Zhong Niangzi's face and gave a friendship price.

Hui Yu and Duo Yu were very satisfied.

Shu Niangzi asked the shopkeeper to put away the remaining calligraphy and paintings. Four more calligraphy and paintings were taken out.

Huiyu also wondered. It's all bought and sold, how can there be calligraphy and paintings?

But Shu Niangzi, who listened to it, said: "The painting of the Heavenly Master was only sent two days ago, and it happened that my sister showed it." With that, he unfolded the four paintings in turn.

I saw four paintings laid out one after another, depicting the scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. They are all very common flowers and trees. But somehow, Hui Yu felt that there was a faint urgency for quick success in the painting.

Zhong Niangzi also frowned when she looked at it, and only said, "I haven't seen you for a while." The mentality of this Tiangongzi's painting has become eager, and even the fall of the brush is much sharper. The peace of spring, summer, autumn and winter was destroyed. It was a very good painting skill, but it was a failure in the mentality. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Shu Niangzi also said: "My sister thinks the same as me." Originally, he said that the paintings were gentle and peaceful, which made people feel calm, but now these four paintings don't look like they were made by him. If it hadn't been for that person, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

"I'm just afraid to ask Tiangongzi what has happened...... I hope he can get through it, otherwise it would be a pity. ”

After listening to the words of the two ladies, Hui Yu couldn't help but be curious about this Heavenly Prince, and asked, "Dare to ask who this Heavenly Prince?" ”

Zhong Niangzi said: "We haven't seen his deity either, every time a little scholar comes to deliver paintings." They only said that their son-in-law did it, and they wanted to sell it for some money for their own education. Just because the inscription on the painting is asking the sky, it is called asking the heavens. ”

Duo Yu also asked, "Didn't you ask who it was?" ”

Shu Niangzi said: "We sell paintings, just care about the authenticity and quality of the paintings, as for who painted them, what the identity is, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say." The implication is that I look down on Duo Yu's importance to identity.

Duo Yu couldn't help but be a little sneering when she heard it.

Shu Niangzi opened the door to do business, and she could say whatever she wanted, but Zhong Niangzi was different, and she had to send her back in good condition when she came out with the two girls.

Seeing that Duoyu's face was a little unsightly, he hurriedly said, "Since the third girl and the fourth girl have picked out the paintings, let's go back quickly." Don't tell the second lady to wait in a hurry. ”

Hui Yu and the others also agreed, so they said goodbye to Shu Niangzi and went home.

On the day of Danyu and Lu, Hui Yu and Duo Yu went to the long room early in the morning to help Zhang Luo.

The wives and ladies of various families in the northwest city gathered together, and the flowers were full of flowers, which was more lively and grand than Li Bihua and Lu.

The Qi family was slightly embarrassed because of the previous retreat, but Mrs. Qi came by herself, and did not bring Qi Zhen, standing next to her alone, looking a little alone.

Mrs. Li took Li Bihua to take the initiative to talk to Mrs. Qi.

Duo Yu said strangely: "Why did the Li family and the Qi family suddenly become warm?" ”

The aunt snorted and said: "My sister is really lonely, the Qi family went to the Li family a few days ago to propose marriage and ask to marry Li Bihua, and it is said that the two families have already finished their decision." The natural relationship is closer than before. ”

The Li family wants to marry Li Bihua to the Qi family? It's the right one. Just thinking of Qi Peng's handsome face, and then looking at Li Bihua's carefully groomed face not far away, which still looked a little mediocre, Hui Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly, the gap in appearance is so big, I don't know if Li Bihua can hold Qi Peng's heart......
