While Yi was packing up his things, Zong Xiu looked at the middle-aged man who came over with Chai Shao.

"Look at my memory." Chai Shao slapped his thigh, pointed to the man next to him and said, "Come, come, I'll introduce you, this is Young Eunuch Yan." ”

Yan Liben bowed his hand: "Xiaguan Yan Liben, I have seen Honglu Siqing." ”

"Hey, you're Yan Liben?"

Zong Xiu gasped, walked over quickly, and enthusiastically took Yan Liben's hand.

"Haha, it turned out to be Yan family. I have heard your name for a long time, and I have always wanted to visit, but I can't find a way. I never thought I would see it today. ”

Chai Shao muttered in a low voice: "Look at your enthusiasm, I just sent you more than 100 shops, why don't you treat me like this?" ”

Seeing this, Yan Liben panicked: "Why is Shangguan like this? The lower officials have come to paint your portrait at the behest of His Majesty. ”

"What kind of officials and officials, my family doesn't like this, you can call me by my name. Put aside the portrait in advance, I wonder if you have time to help me draw some pictures? You don't know, but I admire your paintings very much, and I've always wanted to collect them. ”

Zong Xiu grabbed Yan Liben's hand tightly, swaying it up and down, like a swing.

Yan Liben was stunned by the tremors, and muttered: "Painting pays attention to inspiration, these officials in the world lack inspiration, I'm afraid I can't paint any good paintings." However, there are a few good paintings in Xiaguan's house, and if the sect president wants it, Xiaguan will personally send them to you another day. ”

Zong Xiu was happy in his heart: Good girl, Yan Liben's true handiwork! Make a hundred and ten paintings to hide and heirloom, and properly appreciate in the future.

As a traverser, Zong Xiu forgot that his current name is still Tianxia Zong, and writing something will be worth more than Yan Liben's paintings in the future.

However, at this moment, Zong Xiu's brain circuits in his previous life are troublesome, and he just wants to save more Yan Liben's paintings.

Zong Xiu grabbed Yan Liben's hand even more vigorously, and said excitedly: "Then it's decided, there are 100 pictures of flowers and birds of characters, 100 pictures of landscapes, and you can look at the rest, just give 100 pictures of the same." ”

“……”

Yan Liben and Chai Shao looked at Zong Xiu dumbfounded.

There are also 100 flowers and birds, 100 landscapes, and the same 100! What do you want?

Yan Li's anger trembled, as a saint in the painting world, he also had his own arrogance, and reprimanded: "Are you a layman who sells paintings on the street as an official?" Or the same 100 pieces? I've never painted the same thing twice since I became a master of painting! Honglu Siqing, do you know how to paint? Drawing is all about inspiration! ”

"So? Is it possible to have a dozen of the same? ”

"Nope! Not a single one! ”

Yan Li blew his beard angrily and glared, he felt that Zong Xiu was insulting him, and regarded him as a sour Confucian who made a living by selling paintings on the street.

The more Yan Liben thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, he turned around and left.

"You are vulgar, you are not worthy of talking about painting with this official."

Chai Shao rolled his eyes, glared at Zong Xiu, and shouted to Yan Liben: "Young Eunuch Yan, Your Majesty asked you to paint a portrait of the sect president." ”

"The official has already written down his face, and he will go back to paint. I can't draw it when I look at him! ”

Yan Liben had just walked out of the door, and Chai Shao sighed: "What the hell do you kid think?" ”

Zong Xiu didn't expect Yan Liben's temper to be so big, but he just wanted to collect it, so he opened his throat again and shouted, "Yan everyone, it's okay to have one!" At least you have to leave me what you painted for this official, that's my portrait, and I have the right to the portrait. ”

"Then you go to Your Majesty yourself to ask for it!"

Yan Liben didn't understand what portrait rights were, and he only had one feeling now that the so-called 'Tianwen Sect' was a rough blank who didn't know how to paint at all.

Zong Xiu opened his mouth, pointed to Yan Liben's back and asked, "Why is he suddenly angry?" It's too big. ”

Chai Shao smiled bitterly: "Young Eunuch Yan is the holy hand of the painting altar, and his wonderful pen is unparalleled in the world, even if His Majesty wants a painting of his, it depends on his mood, you open your mouth to ask for hundreds of paintings, it is strange that he is not angry." ”

"......" Zong Xiu muttered quietly, "Didn't I think he had it in stock." ”

"Stock? Do you think painting is a print press? Millions of copies in one print? ”

Chai Shao was angry and laughed.

"But any famous master of the painting world, that painting pays attention to artistic conception and inspiration, and once you paint too much, won't your paintings fall in price? As the president of the World Association, you are also a businessman, don't you know the truth that scarcity is expensive? ”

"Cut, it's not self-hype." Zong Xiu pursed his mouth: "Sooner or later, one day I want him to take the initiative to come and paint for me, or twelve hours a day without sleep." ”

“……”

Chai Shao saw what Zong Xiu said, and he didn't bother to persuade him, and said: "Okay, I will deliver the title deed and house deed, and I also instructed the shopkeepers of each shop to pack up their things, and you can go to Chang'an City and arrange your own men to go in." As for the shops in other state capitals and counties in Kannai Province, I will slowly hand them over. ”

"That's not in a hurry, Gong Chen, in fact, I still have something I want to ask you for help."

Zong Xiu grabbed Chai Shao, who was leaving.

"But the paper?"

Chai Shao seemed to already know about the Jiangjiacun Printing Factory, and asked with a smile.

Zong Xiu sighed: "Hey, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it is also unlucky, I met a few guys who didn't open my eyes, and I sat on the ground at this time." I couldn't get angry, so I broke off the deal with them and planned to make my own paper. ”

"Huh? Make your own paper? ”

Chai Shao looked at Zong Xiu playfully, he thought that Zong Xiu wanted to ask him to help find a new paper merchant.

"Yes, it's homemade!" Zong Xiu said: "I started by printing, paper is the foundation, how can I let others hold my lifeline?" So I decided to build my own! ”

Chai Shao was puzzled: "Then how do you want me to help you?" Let's start with it, I don't care what you do, just don't delay the shipment of five million dictionaries when the time is agreed. ”

"Don't worry, the dictionary is absolutely fine." Zong Xiu patted his chest and promised: "I want to ask you to help me find a few good papermakers, and then use your caravan to help me transport a batch of bamboo." ”

"Bamboo?"

"Yes, it's bamboo, the more the merrier."

Although I don't know what the relationship between papermaking and bamboo is, Chai Shao has witnessed Zong Xiu's creation of Qigong several times, hesitated slightly, and said: "Bamboo is no problem, but the question is how much do you want?" Also, this shipping cost ......"

Zong Xiu laughed: "How much, if I can't come up with the money, let's go to the newspaper to get the deduction." ”

"Okay, I'm going to get a million newspapers from you every three days anyway." Chai Shao was also atmospheric: "I'll go back and order, the first batch of bamboo will arrive in almost two days, and it will be shipped to you one after another, when it is enough, you can just talk to the steward in charge of transportation." ”

"The craftsman's business......" Zong Xiu asked again.
