Chapter 390: Negotiation
After Su Shanyun returned home, she wrote a letter to Guo, in which she roughly talked about what she saw at Su Zixin's residence, and selectively informed her of the conversation between her and Su Zixin, but did not say anything about Su Zixin's collection of carvings. At the end of the letter, she comforted Guo: You can rest assured, my uncle's life is very simple and self-disciplined, he just likes to buy books very much, so he spends most of his money on buying books, I have persuaded him a few words, he said that he will buy less in the future. But after all, a reader loves books as much as his life, and it is unlikely that he will not buy books at all, so please understand this.
Two days later, in the afternoon, she received a letter sent by Su Zixin, saying that he had gone to talk to Wu Warren, the owner of Bolutang, and Wu Warren said that he was willing to meet with Su Shanyun to negotiate, and asked Su Shanyun to meet at Bolutang on Gonggong Street in the morning three days later. Since Su Zixin would also be present at that time, Su Shanyun replied that he would definitely go to the appointment.
After handing over the letter to the messenger, Su Shanyun was relieved.
She secretly hoped that the meeting would have a good outcome.
Three days passed quickly.
Early this morning, Su Shanyun dressed up and went out.
She also brought ten retinues with her on this trip.
When she arrived at the door of Debolu Hall, she saw Su Zixin standing at the door waiting for her, and hurriedly blessed him.
"Boss Wu is waiting in the private yard behind Bolu Hall." Su Zixin said.
"Okay." Su Shanyun nodded, turned around and ordered the entourage to wait in front of the carriage, and followed Su Zixin there.
"Wu Warren is an old man in his seventies, a very fairy person. The appreciation of calligraphy and painting is extremely high. Su Zixin said to Su Shanyun.
After hearing this, Su Shanyun felt a lot more relieved.
Walking through the long hall and the courtyard planted with bamboo, an elegantly shaped house appeared in front of the two of them. At the door of the house stood a servant, and when he saw them, he immediately saluted, "Two of you, please." ”
Su Zixin made Su Shanyun advanced. Su Shanyun hesitated slightly before stepping in.
It is a room with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and it is furnished with guqin, books and intricately shaped porcelain. There was an old man with a white beard sitting at the desk by the window, but I saw that he had his hair combed in a simple bun, and he was wearing a linen robe, and he was in good spirits and imposing.
Su Shanyun was immediately shocked by his aura.
"Senior Wu, this is my niece Su Shanyun." Su Zixin took the initiative to make an introduction.
"The little woman Su Shanyun has seen Senior Wu." Su Shanyun took two steps forward and said respectfully.
Wu Warren smiled and nodded, motioning for them to sit down.
Su Shanyun then handed him the five volumes of paintings he had published.
Warren Wu then looked intently at her paintings.
Su Shanyun carefully observed his expression. She noticed that he frowned several times as he watched, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Could it be that his own paintings can't get into his eyes at all?
Su Zixin was quietly drinking tea on the side. Wait for Warren Wu to express his opinion after reading it.
"Overall, the drawing is not bad. But there's still a lot of room for improvement. Warren Wu said after returning her album to her.
"Yes, I've been thinking and adjusting." Su Shanyun said modestly.
"With your talent, you should be improving even faster. Your 'Flower Language' volume has not improved much compared to the previous volumes. Wu Warren said.
"Please advise." Su Shanyun said busily.
"I don't dare to give advice, I just think that the beauty of 'flower language' obscures its connotation. But because you drew it when you were fifteen. After all, a woman's experience of life at that age is limited. So it's not bad on the whole. ”
"Thank you!"
"What theme are you drawing now?"
"Clear Heart."
"When will I finish drawing?"
"You can finish it at the end of September or the beginning of October."
"What is the price Li Baixi gave you?"
"A book of silver xxx taels."
"The price I give you will be ten taels higher than his, but my requirements will be much higher than his, so to put it simply: if I find that any one is not ideal, I need you to re-paint."
Su Shanyun and Su Zixin exchanged glances. Everyone was happy.
"Okay, thank you!" Su Shanyun replied.
"You don't have a contract dispute with Li Baixi, right?"
"No, we all sign a book when we publish it." Su Shanyun replied.
"Well, how about we work together since November?" Warren Wu asked.
"Okay."
"Then it's decided, come, let's sign a cooperation contract first." Warren Wu said.
Su Shanyun nodded.
As they signed the contract, Warren's wife was passing by the doorway, and Warren beckoned her in.
"This is my wife, surnamed Liu." Wu Warren introduced to Su Shanyun.
Su Shanyun hurriedly saluted her.
Liu sat down opposite Su Shanyun and looked at Su Shanyun with a smile.
Only then did Su Shanyun see her appearance clearly.
This is an old lady in her sixties, with an elegant face, a noble temperament, and a sense of serenity.
Su Shanyun liked it very much when she saw it, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Mrs. Su is really a talented girl!" Liu said with a smile.
Her voice is gentle and elegant, which makes people listen like a spring breeze.
"The seniors have won the prize!" Su Shanyun said modestly.
Since seeing the Liu family, Su Shanyun's whole heart has been relaxed.
After chatting for more than two quarters of an hour, Su Shanyun and Su Zixin got up to say goodbye.
After leaving the gate, Su Shanyun said to Su Zixin: "Thank you uncle for this incident, I heard that there is a noodle restaurant on Jingmei Street that makes very good knife noodles, I want you to try it, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, you don't need to ask, I'll just ask."
"How can anyone ask a guest to pay the bill? Besides, you've been strapped for money lately......"
The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at the noodle restaurant on Jingmei Street.
………………
However, it is said that since Yan Jinxuan successfully got rid of the 'Qin Cha' sent by the second prince, he has covered the inside of his coat with bulletproof armor every day when he goes out to control the water, and when he sleeps at night, he not only wears bulletproof armor but also wears an iron helmet.
He counted the days and knew that the people sent by the second prince would arrive within a day or two, so he locked the windows and doors when he slept at night, and arranged ten people to take turns guarding the doors.
The people sent by the second prince lurked around the hotel where he stayed for two days and couldn't find a chance to make a move, so they had to hold a meeting to discuss a solution.
There were thirty of them this time, and all of them would fly off the wall.
"We can pretend to be river diggers and strike as soon as he appears." One of the thirty suggested.
"This will definitely not work, those who dig the river will have to go through the assembly roll call in the morning."
"You're stupid, we don't want to go when they gather, and when they start digging, we can't do it again?" Another said.
Everyone was busy at that time, and they definitely wouldn't notice them.
"But let's not forget the dozens of people who followed him, they weren't easy to deal with." One of the people with a mustache said.
"A melee attack is not possible, of course, but we can." The first person to propose made a gesture of drawing the bow.
Everyone's eyes lit up. (To be continued.) )
PS: Dear friends, the second update is coming, I really want to add another chapter or two, but the relatives are still there, and the author Jun is not too embarrassed to code words all the time, so today is still the second watch, and we will resume the third watch tomorrow. Tomorrow, it is estimated that I will be able to write that the second master and Shanyun will meet.
