Chapter 356: Contrast

The matter of "Li Ji's repentance" was fulfilled in Yan Weiyang.

At the beginning, she was worried about Han Xiyi, and she didn't mince words about Cai Ming, no matter from the selfish and family interests, she could cite a bunch of disadvantages of marrying the Cai family without blinking, but since she died of Han Xiyi, she and Cai Ming have become more and more in love, and there is a state of "Li Ji regretting and crying".

Officials and businessmen of the two lakes are talking about this marriage.

Cai Ming's father is just the third son of the Cai family, but recently there have been rumors: Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai in the capital will come to Huzhou to preside over the great-grandson's family affairs, which immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

The Yan clan even poured out of the nest and rushed to Xiazhao, and Yan Weiyang's mother and brother came.

The rest of the brocade families and merchants are also actively preparing to congratulate.

"Splendid Five Shaodong" only Xie Yinyue and Yan Weiyang are two female young easts, among which Xie Yinyue and Fang Chu Lao Yan fly separately, which makes people sigh that the world is impermanent; And the new Guo Shaodong and the royal title of "Weaver Girl" have repeatedly withdrawn from their relatives, and they have been undecided for life, which makes people not know how to evaluate it.

In contrast, Yan Weiyang's marriage to Cai Ming can be called a perfect marriage, and he envies countless businesses.

Cai Ming's family background and appearance made the girl in the boudoir jealous of Yan Weiyang's good fortune.

Young Master Cai San is in Qingyuan at the moment, accompanying the prince of the window to buy bamboo silk paintings.

Qing Garden, Smoke and Rain Pavilion, Smoke and Rain are hazy and picturesque!

"That's it." Wang Gongzi said.

"That's good." Fang Chu nodded, turned around and ordered, "Yuan'er, put this up." ”

Yuan'er promised "yes" and asked someone to pack it carefully.

Wang Gongzi asked how much the purchase price was.

Fang Chu said briskly: "Two paintings of four hundred taels." ”

Cai Ming and Wang Gongzi tacitly exchanged glances.

Wang Gongzi said: "Although Young Master Fang intends to give in, he can't let too much. Otherwise, I don't want to go. Moreover, since Brother Fang is doing this business, he must not break the rules. ”

Cai Ming also smiled: "Cousin Fang, you're welcome. Let one or two become just that. If he thinks you're selling him badly, he might doubt you. ”

Fang Chu saw the two of them say this, so he added another two hundred taels.

Wang Gongzi smiled and gave the silver ticket.

Everyone moved to the waterside pavilion to drink tea, while enjoying the scenery and chatting.

Cai Ming sighed: "The younger brother finally saw what 'the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys': Cousin Fang opened his shop in a deep alley, and some people still flock to it, which shows the charm of this painting!" ”

Fang Chu smiled silently.

It turned out that he changed his business strategy at the end of last year:

All bamboo silk paintings, no matter how big or small, are simple and simple, there is only one piece. Unique, each one is a hand-me-down; It is a peony with the same design, and the flower form is also different; To prevent counterfeiting. After each painting is sold, the original artwork is immediately destroyed.

In addition, except for a few "secluded houses" that have already opened, the newly opened shops are all placed in the deep alleys. Let the buyer find you. Don't sell it open on the street.

Bamboo silk paintings are new and very rare, so they are more valuable.

When those literati saw it, they were all attracted by its ingenious craftsmanship and artistic connotation, so they inquired everywhere for purchases; Those rich and noble families who are vassal and elegant also want to buy them to decorate the faΓ§ade and collect, and they also spend a lot of money to buy them; Others try to buy and resell for a profit, or give it away.

There is another layer is the story behind the origin of the bamboo silk painting: Fang Chu took the bamboo silk painting of the Guo family for his fiancΓ©e Xie Yinyue. For this reason, he was forced to sign an oath by Guo Zhinu, who had just debuted. The world changed, and Jiang Minghui, the founder of bamboo silk painting, died. Fang Chu broke off his family, was expelled from the clan by his father, and faded out of the weaving industry, all of which cast a layer of mystery on him as a person and for bamboo silk painting. The world's judgments are different: some say that he is ruthless, some say that he is affectionate; Some say that he is a great traitor, and some say that he attaches equal importance to filial piety and righteousness.

Because of the above reasons, you can imagine how popular this bamboo silk painting is.

After hearing about this, Qing Mu also had to admire Fang Chu's business acumen.

This kind of marketing strategy is similar to the sales of brand-name luxury goods in her previous life: the quality of the goods themselves is fundamental, and then using some special psychology of people to launch limited editions and other means to increase their hidden value, and even some luxury cars still depend on fame and status, and money can't buy them.

Fang Chu treats bamboo silk paintings as works of art, each one is unique and out of print, how can it not lead people to rob! And he also insisted: no matter how high the price is outside, he only sells the price he set, and does not sell whoever bids high. If the same work is favored by two or more people, the artistic conception of the painting is evaluated according to their respective knowledge, and the one who answers the perfect question owns the painting.

As a result, it is even more difficult to buy one.

That's why Cai Ming brought his classmates to Qingyuan to buy.

In front of him, in the rain and fog, several people began to fish by the railing.

Cai Ming asked Fang Chu in a low voice: "Are you going on the first day of April?" ”

Today, he accompanied the window to buy paintings, and he sent a post for his father-in-law, inviting Fang Chu to go to Yan's house on April 1 to participate in Yan Weiyang's marriage.

Why did he come forward to invite?

It makes sense.

Fang Chu glanced at him and said with a light smile: "Brother Cai's kindness is appreciated. It's better that I don't go. My uncle doesn't necessarily blame me. ”

He is a person who has been expelled from the clan, and he can still be accommodating in the business, which is a stain that cannot be ignored for a poet and scholar like the Cai family. If he openly appeared at Yan Weiyang's wedding, he was afraid that the Yan family would be criticized by the Cai family, so he said so.

Cai Ming asked, "Brother Fang, have you ever regretted it?" ”

Fang Chu shook his head and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, how can they regret it!" ”

Cai Ming said: "Even so, why care about other people's eyes? This is my marriage with Miss Yan, Master Yan is not afraid of people's words, and my father is not afraid of people's words, but some people in the Cai family have made irresponsible remarks, and you are not a guest of my Yan family, so you don't need to pay attention to it. ”

Yan Jipeng asked him to come forward to invite, which was exactly what Fang Chu meant to feel at ease.

Wang Gongzi was fishing on the other side, and although he didn't look at them, he heard them word for word.

He was curious if Fang Chu had the courage to appear in front of people.

Fang Chu was thinking about it himself.

Do you want to hide for the rest of your life?

Finally he said, "In that case, I will go." ”

Cai Ming also smiled.

Yan Weiyang's family affairs attracted the attention of all parties, and another young woman, Xie Yinyue, was not willing to be lonely, and broke through the clouds after two years of sinking: she launched several brocades in a row, cooperated with second-rate brocade merchants, and stirred up the market. According to her momentum, people have speculated that she still has a backhand, and she will compete with Guo Qingmu again at the brocade conference on July 1!

For a time, all sides looked sideways.

Let's talk about the daughter of the Guo family, and the daughter of the East Guo Weaver Girl.

The Guo family's patent dispute caused a life, if in the past, it would be difficult to escape defeat, but now the Guo family is not what it used to be, and the matter has just come out, it has caused all parties to insert strongly, and the local county government can not be tried, and it will be handed over to Linhu Prefecture for punishment according to the trial of the prosecutor's department, and the court has also been questioned.

Needless to say, the Guo family father and son are busy.
