Chapter 5 Watching people put down dishes

Yan Qi is a cheeky guy, not embarrassed at all, looking at Shuang'er's flexible and greasy little hands, he has nothing to say: "Is Shuang'er embroidering?" ”

"Yes...... yes. Shuang'er whispered.

"Can you show me?" Yan Qi came over shamelessly and reached out to get the embroidery.

Shuang'er was shy, and she was even more afraid that Yan Qi would touch her hand, so she put the embroidery on the table in a panic.

Yan Qi took it and saw that it was a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

The embroidery has been completed, and at a glance, the colors are bright, three-dimensional, the stitches are level, and the water is rippling.

Especially the pair of mandarin ducks, fresh and smart, lifelike.

The mandarin ducks are intertwined, with affection in their eyes, and the lingering feelings are vividly displayed.

Yan Qi couldn't help but admire: "It's so well embroidered, I can't imagine you are so ingenious." ”

Shuang'er was happy in her heart, her little face flushed, and she said glutinously: "Thank you Brother Qi for your compliment." ”

Yan Qi asked casually: "Why are you embroidering this, it's actually a pair of mandarin ducks, is this a token of love?" ”

Shuang'er nodded: "It's a token of love." ”

Yan Qi was jealous, and asked with a white face: "Which son is Shuang'er in love with?" ”

"Where do you think of it, this is not a token of my commitment."

Shuang'er hurriedly explained, looking at Yan Qi's eyes flashing with panic, and secretly rejoicing in his heart: I didn't expect him to care about me so much.

"My parents didn't get early, my sister and brother depended on each other, life was difficult, it was not easy to make money, and Huzi always fought and caused trouble. I was barely skillful, so I embroidered some embroidery and sold it to others to subsidize my family. ”

Yan Qi was very moved when he heard it.

In the previous world, a 20-year-old girl was still pampered in her mother's arms and loved a lot, but Shuang'er picked up the burden of life early and did her best to support her younger brother.

Such a girl is really cute.

"Shuang'er, apart from mandarin ducks, what else will you embroider?"

"It's a lot, Brother Seven come with me."

Shuang'er took Yan Qi into an inconspicuous wing room.

Although the decoration is simple, the inside is clean, and the walls are covered with embroidery.

There are landscape maps, pastoral maps, and all kinds of mountain insects, tigers and leopards, which are realistic and smart, just like the real thing.

Yan Qi was well-informed, and couldn't help but be amazed: "I can't imagine that Shuang'er is still a talented girl, these embroideries are so good, I think in Jinling City, there are few people who can compare to you." ”

Shuang'er pursed her lips and smiled: "That is, Seventh Brother likes it." ”

Yan Qisan's words did not leave the bank: "You show so well, you should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?" ”

Shuang'er sighed: "Embroidery is not worth anything at all, it is generally fifty or sixty dollars, like this mandarin duck water map, the price is very high, I embroidered for several months, and it will be sold for five taels of silver at most." ”

"What, so cheap?"

Yan Qi couldn't believe it.

He also knows the standard of living here.

One tael of silver is equal to one hundred dollars, and ordinary people have an income of more than one hundred taels of silver a year.

"This mandarin duck water picture is so well handmade, the pattern is exquisite, vivid, embroidered for several months, it was only sold for five taels of silver, I feel distressed."

Yan Qi was very upset about Shuang'er.

You know, in the old world, embroidery was a very valuable thing.

At this moment, a man and a woman came in from outside the gate, dressed in luxurious clothes, and at first glance they were the sons and daughters of a rich family.

Shuang'er looked at it and stretched out her tongue playfully: "Zhang Gongzi and Miss Li are here, they are here to get this picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water." ”

Yan Qi's heart moved, and he asked Shuang'er, "Did they pay?" ”

Shuang'er shook her head: "Not yet." ”

"That's going to do it."

Yan Qi squeezed his eyebrows: "You listen to me in a while, let me make a quotation, I want to sell this mandarin duck water picture at a high price." ”

Chu Limei's eyes widened, and he didn't believe it at all: "Embroidery is a handmade product, how can it be sold at a high price?" ”

Yan Qi smiled: "Naturally, handmade products can't be sold at a high price, but your point of view is wrong, this is not a handicraft, this is a work of art!" Since it's a work of art, it's priceless, and you can sell it however you want. ”

Shuang'er was just about to go out to greet him, Yan Qi shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll observe first." ”

Zhang Gongzi and Miss Li walked in.

Miss Li was just about to sit down when she saw that there seemed to be some dust on the chair and snorted softly.

Seeing this, Zhang Gongzi hurriedly picked up the feather duster and swept it a few times, and then flatteringly asked Miss Li to sit down.

Yan Qi couldn't hold back a smile: "Zhang Gongzi turned out to be a strict wife. ”

Shuang'er whispered: "Miss Li's family is prominent, and she has relatives who are officials in the capital, so of course Gongzi Zhang has to respect Miss Li." ”

Yan Qi smiled evilly: "Then this matter will be easy to do." ”

Seeing that there had been no one for a long time, Zhang Gongzi shouted loudly: "Is Xu Shuang'er here?" Why didn't you come out to greet you. ”

Yan Qi came out with Shuang'er at this time.

Zhang Gongzi looked at Yan Qi and felt that he was so handsome, he was very jealous, and asked with a straight face, "Who are you?" ”

looked at Xu Shuang'er and Yan Qi standing together, and thought, "Are you ......?"

Xu Shuang'er was ashamed: Oh no, I was misunderstood as a couple.

Yan Qi hurriedly said: "No, in Xia Yanqi, it is Shuang'er's cousin, who has just entered the city, Zhang Gongzi and Miss Li don't know me, but I am familiar with the names of Zhang Gongzi and Miss Li." ”

"Oh? Do you know my name? "Zhang Gongzi is interested.

"Of course."

Yan Qi opened his mouth: "In the whole Jinling, who doesn't know that Zhang Gongzi is full of learning and his writing is amazing?" Who doesn't know that Zhang Gongzi is bold and rich, and who doesn't know that Zhang Gongzi has a noble character and is upright? ”

The sedan chair carries people.

Zhang Gongzi was in a good mood, feeling that he had saved enough face in front of Miss Li, and when he looked at Yan Qi again, he felt much more pleasing to the eye.

Yan Qi sang a praise song to Miss Li again: "Especially Miss Li, she is so embarrassed that she is out of the moon, she is loved by everyone, she is more knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, in this Jinling City, Miss Li is a fairy admired by all talents, Miss Li and Zhang Gongzi can be together, it is really called a talented woman, and it is a perfect match." ”

"That's all their tongue chewing, don't talk nonsense."

Miss Li is also middle-class, not a big beauty, especially compared with Shuang'er, a proper semi-finished product.

However, Miss Li was overjoyed by Yan Qi's praise, not to mention how happy she was.

Shuang'er listened to Yan Qiqiao's tongue on the side, and opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was very shocked.

Where did Brother Qi know Zhang Gongzi and Miss Li, and why did he speak so eloquently.

Moreover, Zhang Gongzi's moral character is very average, he has no culture, he is a little picker, and he is full of talent and learning in the mouth of the seventh brother, and his bold shot is not the same at all.

There is also Miss Li, although her family background is extraordinary, but she doesn't read poetry and books, she can't recognize a few big characters, and she doesn't match a talented girl at all, but the seventh brother said that she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she has the demeanor of a talented woman, which is not related to the wind and cattle at all.

"Seventh brother, what are you selling?" Shuang'er frowned, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she became more and more confused.
