Chapter 66: The repercussions are a bit big
"Talking to me about a deal?"
Kou Zhuan looked at Sister Huahua in surprise.
"Of course I'm looking for you."
Sister Huahua giggled, "I won't come to your husband at this hour." β
Kou Liansha couldn't help but look at Guo Dan who came in from behind.
Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said: "Madame looks at what I do, I don't know anything about it. "I thought, this woman really deserves to be from a Qinglou, so if she talks about a deal, she seems to have adultery, and I am also drunk.
Kou Liansha, who reacted, hurriedly stretched out her hand and signaled, "Oh, Sister Huahua, please take a seat." β
After Sister Huahua sat down, Kou Zhuansha asked, "I don't know if Sister Huahua needs our dental service if there is anything." β
Sister Huahua leaned forward, blinked and said, "That's the case, I heard that Uncle Xu's studio signed a long-term employment contract with your tooth shop, I don't know if it?" β
Kou Zhuansha nodded slightly, "There is such a thing." β
Sister Huahua said excitedly: "I just want to cooperate with you this time, and let the little uncle's studio help me paint a few paintings of the courtesan in Chunman." β
Hearing this, Guo Dan suddenly realized, and thought, it seems that Chunmanlou's business is getting better and better, it is not unreasonable, this eighth woman's business sense is still very keen, forget it, she is also a professional habit, so she doesn't care about her.
"How many paintings?"
Kou Zhuan Sha didn't quite understand.
Sister Huahua danced excitedly: "Then we will hold another art exhibition to display the paintings of our courtesans in Chunmanlou, it's that simple." β
Kou Zhuansha groaned slightly, glanced at Guo Dan again, and then asked, "Sister Huahua wants to use the art exhibition to enhance the fame of your courtesans?" β
Sister Huahua chuckled and said, "My sister really deserves to be a talented girl in my capital, and she understands it so quickly." Cluck....... β
What happened at yesterday's exhibition? Kou Zhuan Sha didn't expect such a deal, and no one had ever done it before, so she couldn't make up her mind at this time, so she said: "I still have to ask the little uncle about this, after all, in terms of painting, it's not our tooth shop that is in charge." β
"That's it!"
Sister Huahua was a little disappointed and said, "Okay, that's it, but you have to remember that I was the first to come." β
The implication is that if another Qinglou comes to you, you have to come first and come first.
Kou Zhuisa nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll go first."
Sister Huahua stood up, suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Guo lightly: "Guo Gongzi, remember ......." β
Halfway through her words, she quickly shut up, glanced at Kou Zhuan Sha with a weak heart, and then left in a sneer.
Hold back, hold back, this is just her professional habit, there is no distinction between high and low, I want to respect, I want to respect. Guo Dan hurriedly took a few deep breaths to calm his anger.
"Husband, what happened to yesterday's exhibition?" Kou Zhuansha asked Guo Dan.
It seems that she doesn't care very much about Guo Dan going to Qinglou, in fact, every time Guo Dan goes back to Chunmanlou, she also knows, because Guo Dan is drunk every time, but she has never given Guo Dan a little face, she is not qualified to care about these, so she never asks, in fact, Kou Shouxin is embarrassed to reprimand Guo Dan on this matter.
"Nothing special happened, just those guests liked the women in the paintings very much, didn't I tell you, madame?" Of course, Guo Dan knew why, but he didn't feel the need to tell Kou Zhuansha, if he couldn't think of it, then it was really time to spank.
Kou Yi on the side reminded in a low voice: "Miss, the business of our tooth shop is not very good now, this can't be let go." β
Kou Liansha nodded, and said to Guo Dan again: "Husband, I bother you to ask the little uncle." β
At this moment, an apprentice reported outside the door: "Miss, Sister Piao'er from Baihualou asks to see." β
"Baihualou?"
Kou Liansha unconsciously looked at Guo Dan again.
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "I really haven't been to this." β
After a while, I saw a woman walk in, "Ah! Guo Gongzi is also here! It's been a long time since you've come to my Baihualou to play. β
β......γβ
Guo Dansheng looked at her lovelessly.
Sister Piao'er didn't pay attention to him anymore, because Guo Dan was in her impression that she was like now, dumb and stunned.
Needless to say, the purpose of this Sister Piao'er is the same as Sister Huahua.
As soon as she left, the apprentice said at the door again: "Miss, Sister Cui'er of Chaolou in the east of the city asks to see her." β
Guo Dan didn't bother to think about it, and directly covered his face with a handkerchief.
Kou Liansha glanced at him and pursed her lips tightly.
"Huh? Guo Gongzi is also here, you have been ....... for a long time. β
"Aren't you, I've covered my face, you can see it?" Guo Dan jumped up excitedly.
Sister Cui'er covered her lips and giggled: "You used to come to play in the Chaolou, if my Sister Cui'er didn't even have this eyesight, then what kind of Qinglou would she open!" β
β...... I went outside to take a breath. β
Guo Dansheng walked out of the back door without love.
Sister Cui'er was curious: "Guo Gongzi, what's going on?" β
"I think it's probably because I'm sitting here." β
Sister Cui'er blinked, and then remembered that the daughter of the Kou family was Guo Dan's wife, and suddenly looked embarrassed, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in fact, Guo Gongzi rarely goes to my place to play, he really... It's been a long time. β
Over there, Guo Dan flew up with one foot when he went out, kicking the bamboo basket on the side of the door away, thinking, this Guo Dan turned out to be so romantic, and the green buildings in the capital ran all over the city, I really misunderstood him.
Because those memories were not his, many of them were provocative, and only when he met people and things could he remember them, and it was conceivable that now his mind was full of the ..... of the warbler Yanyan.
Guo Dan was depressed before, because he thought that he was a talented person, and although Kou Zhuansha usually respected him very much, he didn't care about her husband as a wife, it was not at all, he went to the Qinglou not all for physical needs, but more he needed women's praise and worship for him, as well as care.
Guo Dan, as a man, of course, can understand the previous Guo Dan, now that he has become Guo Dan, he has to accept whether it is good or bad, so after Sister Cui'er left, Guo Dan returned to the house, with an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Lao Tzu just went to visit the Qinglou, what do you want?
Kou Liansha didn't seem to really care, she didn't mention it, and her wife was like this, and she really didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"Miss, the Qin members who are in the silk in the west of the city have come from outside."
Kou Liansha was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, please." β
I saw a tall and thin middle-aged man with a goatee walking in, this person was a famous silk merchant in the capital, Qin Duan.
Kou Zhuansha bowed and said, "The junior has seen Uncle Qin. β
Guo Dan also hurriedly got up and bowed.
"Hehe, you don't need to be polite."
"Uncle Qin, please take a seat."
After Qin Duan sat down, he said, "Niece Xian, my uncle came to visit today, and I want to ask for something." β
Kou Zhuansha asked, "I don't know if Uncle Qin needs the service of his juniors." β
Qin Duan coughed lightly and said, "I heard that the little uncle's studio has signed a long-term employment contract with your dental shop, and your dental shop is helping with the sale." β
Could it be ...... again? Kou Zhuansha nodded and said, "There is such a thing." β
"That's good." Qin Duan nodded, and said: "I came here in the hope that in the future, the clothes worn by those painting prostitutes, as well as the required painting silk, will be provided by our silk village, and we can provide you with clothes for free, as for the silk cloth, if the amount is small, we can also be free, and if the amount is large, the price is also negotiable." β
They come to Yaxing, and generally rarely beat around the bush and have something to say.
And so it was. Kou Zhuansha really didn't have any preparations, so she could only come up with the rhetoric of Fang Cai to deal with it, because the Three Musketeers and Yaxing had not discussed this matter, nor did they expect that it had never happened before, and she did not dare to decide on her own.
Qin Duan also left with a little disappointment.
Kou Zhuansha asked Guo Dan again: "Husband, did nothing happen in yesterday's art exhibition?" β
"Not really."
Guo Danzhi shook his head and said.
"Miss, Zhang Yuanwai from the Four Treasures Store in the south of the city asks to see you."
This Four Treasures store is the largest bookware store on Mashi Street.
Kou Yi said: "Miss, Lao Zhang must also be here for the art exhibition." β
Kou Liansha looked at Guo Dan again, and without her asking, Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said, "It's really that nothing happened." β
Kou Liansha said: "Husband misunderstood, I want to say, in order to avoid you running back and forth, Husband should go to Uncle Zao to discuss this matter later." β
......
Jin Yu Lou.
"Xiaojie, this way, this way."
"Brother Jie, you are really waiting for my brother, I will punish you for a drink later."
......
Guan Xiaojie looked triumphant, glanced at them, and said, "Is there a happy event in anyone's family today, and they specially invited me to dinner." β
"If you want to have a happy event, naturally it is also Xiaojie!"
"Me?"
Guan Xiaojie said: "What happy event do I have? β
"You participated in the art exhibition yesterday, isn't that a happy event?"
"Come on, come on, tell my brother, is this exhibition good-looking?"
"I heard you got a picture album, can you bring it?"
"Haha!"
Guan Xiaojie laughed, pointed at them and said, "I know that you are here for this matter." As he spoke, he put his hand to the side, "Bring it." β
"Yes."
I saw an entourage cautiously holding a shrewd wooden box and opening it, the pink scroll smelled of commotion.
Everyone gathered around at once.
"Don't touch it, this is a treasure, I can tell you, there are only a hundred copies in the world, and there is no more, and there can be no more." Guan Xiaojie's arrogant little expression makes people have an urge to flatten him.
......
Over the counter, Zhou Feng looked at Guan Xiaojie and them, and asked the shopkeeper, "What are they talking about?" β
"What else can I say, I must be discussing the art exhibition held by the little uncle yesterday, the master doesn't know, this is already the fourth wave, the people who went to participate in the art exhibition yesterday are really out of the limelight today, these sons and brothers are taking turns to invite them to dinner, and the business of our restaurant has improved a lot."
"Really?"
Zhou Feng was curious: "This exhibition is so successful? β
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Now it seems that it is indeed very successful, and besides, the Kou family can be regarded as coming back to life this time." β
Zhou Feng said: "How do you say this? β
"Because the little uncle hired Kou Jiaya to be responsible for the purchase and sale of the studio, and now that the art exhibition has been so successful, many people want to cooperate with the studio, so they go to Koujia Dental Store to inquire."
Zhou Feng listened and fell into deep thought.
......
At noon, Xu Mengxuan came out of Taifu Temple, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "The weather is good today." β
Waving his wide sleeves, he walked slowly outside the imperial city.
"Xinganbo, please stay."
Suddenly, a shrill voice shouted.
Xu Mengxi turned his head to take a look, only to see an old eunuch walking with a whisk in his hand, although an old face was full of wrinkles, but his complexion was not bad, slightly hunchbacked, wearing a red python robe, in the Ming Dynasty, those who could wear python robes were not the first ministers, that is, the eunuchs beside the emperor, this python robe was given by the emperor, and the nature was somewhat similar to the yellow coat.
And this person is Zhang Cheng, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, can also be said to be the leader of the eunuchs.
"It turned out to be Grandpa Zhang."
Xu Mengxi hurriedly bowed.
Zhang Cheng brushed the dust, returned a salute, and said: "Congratulations, congratulations." β
Xu Mengxi was slightly stunned and asked, "I don't know where this joy comes from?" β
Zhang Cheng said: "We heard that Lingsun held a unique art exhibition, and it caused great repercussions. β
"Draw... Exhibition? β
"Don't you know?" Zhang Cheng said curiously.
"Know... Know some. Xu Mengxi nodded awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "It really makes Gonggong Zhang laugh, that son of a son is messing around all day long, I have no choice but to let him go." When it comes to the back, he has a feeling of being ashamed to see people.
"Look at what kind of nonsense this is." Zhang Cheng laughed a few times, and said: "I won't tell you, I came to you here for this matter today, I don't know if Xing Anbo can borrow the paintings in the exhibition to take a look at me." β
Xu Mengxi immediately looked at Zhang Cheng with a bewildered expression, you are a eunuch watching spring... That kind of painting, this ......
Zhang Cheng saw that Xu Mengxi was silent, and said: "If there is any inconvenience in Xing'anbo, then it's okay." There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"No, no, no."
Xu Mengxi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "My father-in-law said that borrowing is really serious, after I go back, I immediately ordered someone to send the painting, if Father-in-law Zhang likes it, then send it to my father-in-law." β
For the sake of a few Spring Palace paintings to offend the first eunuch of the dynasty, he couldn't do this kind of thing if he broke his head.
Zhang Cheng's face changed again, and he said with a smile: "Oops! That's embarrassing. β
Xu Mengxi hurriedly smiled: "Where, where, it's just a few clumsy works made by the sons, I didn't want them to do this art exhibition, I was afraid that they would be embarrassed, I never thought that I would be able to get the appreciation of Grandpa Zhang, I was too late to be happy." β
This is not just a boast, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are really versatile, this Zhang Cheng governed the Renzhi Palace, that is where the court painter works, his ability to appreciate paintings is also first-class, if you go to the tooth line, you must sign a long-term contract.
"Thank you very much." Zhang Cheng really didn't say anything polite to him.
"No thanks, no thanks."
Xu Mengxuan arched his hand, muttering a little in his heart, he shouldn't be interested in those paintings, could it be Your Majesty? Well, there is this possibility, since His Majesty was in power, he has always ordered eunuchs to go to the people to collect poems, novels, calligraphy and paintings, and he should have come to His Majesty. What kind of paintings are on display in this Rong'er exhibition? In less than a day, it has already reached the palace.
