Wen Bangyue is holding two paintings and wandering around Dengfu Street, which is a place that specializes in selling the four treasures of the study, and there is a fence street next to it, which also sells these literary and artistic gadgets, but there is a lot of money there on weekdays, and now she is depressed and does not dare to go there.

The boss of Sheng Pingzhai was bored and leaned against the door, and saw Bang Yue looking golden, afraid of which lady it was, flickering and flickering to be able to slaughter a stroke, thinking about it, he greeted: "Hey, hey!" Did you come to see the paintings? You're in please! ”

Bang Yue looked up, saw the boss's face full of wrinkles, so she went in, she walked around, didn't hear the boss follow behind her, thought for a long time and put the two paintings on the counter and spread them out.

"Annoying boss to palm, how about these two Tang Dynasty paintings?"

When the boss heard this, his heart sank, and his feelings were that he came to sell paintings, so he wanted to refuse with good words, and then bowed his head, and the picture scroll unfolded, good guy! It's a relic! Tang Dynasty Zhan Ziqian's "Scripture Diagram", although it is not as valuable as a masterpiece, but this weight is heavy enough, if it can be collected at a low price, it is a good price for him to change hands in this Sheng Pingzhai.

"It's a good painting, the girl can make a price."

Wen Bangyue heard that there was a play, and hurriedly squinted her eyes and introduced: "You know, this is the Sui Dynasty tent in the Governor Zhan Ziqian's masterpiece "Teaching the Scriptures", he is very good at painting this kind of character pommel horse, is inherited from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties excellent traditional painting methods, and broke through the style of painting to create new ideas, can be regarded as a master who carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future!" Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty had a saying; Delicate and exquisite, this is the evaluation of this picture. If you want to pay a price, you will have to pay the same number as it was five years ago. ”

Bang Yue said and compared three and zero with her hand, and the boss deliberately frowned: "Miss, are you thirty taels of silver, or thirty taels of gold?" ”

"Boss, don't pretend to be confused, we can't reach the gold bars, if it's only thirty taels of silver, isn't it cheap, Zhanzi is pious, I won't come with you, three hundred taels, is the price I talked about from a friend five years ago, if it wasn't for an accident at home, I would never take it out, and if this painting is put for another five years, it will not be today's price."

"Girl, this painting is all up to you, if there is really a fate of cooperation, I have to call Mr. to distinguish the real from the fake, and your painting scroll is in tatters, it is ......inevitable to ask for this high price."

"You can really laugh, you must have been in this business for no less than 20 years, why don't you have any eyesight, please sir? Besides, this is a cultural relic, and this scroll is a cultural relic, so I haven't asked for any extra money. ”

The boss's face did not change, but in fact, there were big waves in his heart, it is said that his old fritter business mouth if he cut things and came one by one, but this painting is really rare, I can't find the slightest fault, and three hundred taels is not expensive, he stroked his beard and said: "But my family is a small workshop, these three hundred taels ......."

"Then I'll go to another house to have a look, I'm sorry." Wen Bangyue said that he was about to leave when he put away the painting, and the boss caught a glimpse of another painting, and the good guy turned out to be a silk and colored "Gong Le Tu" and hurriedly called Bang Yue.

"Noble people stay for a while...... Hold a step. The boss pressed his excitement, and his tone softened a lot, "Even if this business can't be done, don't you still have that one, you bring it and I'll give you a palm." ”

Wen Bangyue snickered in her heart, and reluctantly followed back, spreading out the "Palace Music Map" and quietly spreading out the "Scripture Teaching Map".

"Boss, you see that this original painting was made by the Tang Dynasty, this painting is a copy of the Song Dynasty, the figure is plump and soft, affectionate and lazy, with fine lines, delicate depiction, it is a good lady painting!"

"Yes." The boss looked up and down in a deep voice, and said half-loudly: "How about two pairs of four hundred taels?" ”

"Two pairs of six hundred and fifty taels."

"But I look at the ink used in this "Gong Le Tu", I'm afraid it's Xin'an ink, and I don't know if I can keep the color, I can't save it for two years, and I will lose my color."

"Don't worry, this oil smoke ink, that red is also ground out of cinnabar, to ensure that it will not fade."

The boss didn't realize that his voice was a little louder, "How can you guarantee this?" ”

Wen Bangyue knew that he was going to bargain, and rolled her eyes, "I don't guarantee this, how can I guarantee the antiquities?" If you sell, can you still guarantee it to your customers? ”

"Hey! The girl has a poisonous mouth, you just tell the real price! I think you're rich. ”

"We can't suffer if we're rich or not, can we? I see that you are also full of sincerity, otherwise I will hurry up for six hundred and forty taels. ”

"Six hundred!"

"Six hundred and fifty taels!" Wen Bangyue saw that he had to make inches, so he called back the original price.

After a round of choking, the boss muttered about the loss, the loss, and at the same time took out six hundred and forty taels of silver tickets from the inner room and handed them to Bang Yue, and turned his head and accepted the two paintings happily.

Coming out of Sheng Pingzhai, the sun shines on Bang Yue, she squints her eyes and looks up at the sky, she can have such a good mood in the huge grievances and disappointments in life, all from a sense of security, there is no end to the end of the road with money, and there is always a time to make a comeback when you have money.

She walked quickly to the street, and asked for three drawers and a pot of osmanthus wine in the restaurant that sold crab roe xiaolongbao, if she didn't look down on this food in the past, but yesterday she was reluctant to eat this food, but today, she has some confidence, more than six hundred taels, enough for her to live, but Rao is enough to live and never waste as before, after all, there is no source of life, and you can't sit and eat empty.

She hummed a song and carried the wine back to the creek, and when she saw a woman looking into her door with her feet on her feet.

"Who are you?" Wen Bangyue's cat-like footsteps walked behind him, startling the woman. The woman clutched her chest and exclaimed again and again, and then said, "I am the neighbor next to you, this is not to see a new household here, curious." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the neighbor's aunt, who just moved in with me, so let's take care of it after that."

The beautiful woman nodded and stuffed the two sweet potatoes in her hand to her: "Look at you, you are a child of a rich family, why do you live in our shabby place?" Come and grow it at home, and I'll give you a taste. ”

Bang Yue was a little embarrassed to take someone's sweet potato, and hurriedly opened the door lock, let her body go: "Where is the rich and noble family, down, Auntie, you will come into the house and sit down?" ”

The beautiful woman was not polite, she entered the house with a smile, Bang Yue turned around and locked the door, and walked all the way in with her, as if it were her home.

"Girl, don't blame us for being too talkative, this is a poor place, you are dressed in silk and silk and jade hairpins, in case someone with a heart falls in love with it, it will attract thieves."

"It's really ......" Bang Yue's heart jumped, the girls in the theater compete for beauty on weekdays, and Ren Duo's expensive clothes and jewelry are not outstanding, but now this place has long been different, it's better to keep a low profile.

"Thank you really for reminding me Auntie, you show me the way, where can I buy the right clothes?"

"How can there be a place to sell clothes, you have to go a long way, in this way, I still have some fabrics at home, and I am also past the age of dressing, I can't wear them, you can use them to make some clothes."

"Thank you Auntie, just ...... I don't know how to make clothes. Bang Yue pursed her lips, her voice getting quieter and quieter.

"No!" The beautiful woman squinted at her, "It's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift!" Why don't I go home and get a ruler to measure you and help you make one? ”

"Ah......" Bang Yue felt that he had just met, and he was embarrassed to trouble people, but after thinking about it, he would go out dressed like this again, and he would be troublesome to those who had many hands and eyes. I had to thank him repeatedly: "Thank you Auntie, otherwise you can stay here to eat, and it's not too late to measure your clothes after eating." ”

The woman glanced over the table, "That little food is not enough for the two of us, so I'll get some when I get home." ”

Just a moment after the woman left, Bang Yue hurriedly hid the six hundred and forty taels of silver tickets in the bed in the bedroom, and set the xiaolongbao and wine. Then he saw the woman carrying a basket full of roasted potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted bamboo shoots, and other food, and two horses under her arms.

Bang Yue saw that it was all staple food and volunteered to make dishes, and the two went to her aunt's house to pick a number of dishes, and Bang Yue showed her skills, and within two clicks, she put on a vinegared shredded potato, dried bamboo shoots with minced garlic and minced cowpeas. The two of them sat down, and the osmanthus was white, and the atmosphere naturally improved.

It turned out that this aunt was the servant of Jiang Ji Buzhuang, the richest man in the capital, and her name was Huang Ying'er. Later, she quit her job to retire here, according to Aunt Huang Yinger: She was sold into Jiangfu when she was a child, and she was a ruthless person who grew up in Jiangfu in those years.

The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, as soon as Aunt Huang was happy, she generously gave all the two horses to Bang Yue to make clothes, in order to repay Aunt Huang, Bang Yue often volunteered to cook and deliver food to Auntie every once in a while.

A few days after dinner that day, Aunt Huang made up for it with two horses, and made five sets of clothes one after another to Bang Yue, except for a few blue cloth and dark flowers, that is, white cloth and dark flowers, which are really simple. But fortunately, Bang Yue still has some clothes that were relatively plain in the past, although it is a silk fabric, but it can cover the luster of silk when worn in reverse.

Bang Yue, who often undertakes the heavy responsibility of cooking, goes to the market every day to buy vegetables, but after a few days, he adapts to the life of the farmer, and complains to Aunt Huang that the vegetable market slaughters people to death, and the pork is only twenty copper tin, and the konjac is twenty-five. Aunt Huang proposed that her small yard was empty and empty, it was better to vacate a piece to farm, Bang Yue said well, took a shovel rake and Aunt Huang together, big buckets and small buckets to pick up sediment, dug up the soil that could not grow vegetables, and went to the mountains to dig a lot of black gold soil, which lasted two days but the soil of the vegetable field was replaced, after sowing the vegetable seeds, Bang Yue went to the river with Aunt Huang to pick up water, in order to open the land, this day was stunned to go back and forth six or seven times, and at night the body was about to fall apart Wen Bangyue. I didn't even bother to boil the water, thinking that the left and right were also drinking water, scooping and drinking, how could the drinking water here be compared with the water in Dongcheng? After two days of properly pulling her stomach, Aunt Huang was very busy this time, not only taking care of the vegetable fields in the two yards, but also having to boil porridge for the belly to drink. After a few days, Bang Yue was white and fat, and Aunt Huang seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Bang Yue, who is in good health, is very grateful to Aunt Huang, and after taking care of the vegetable field, she started the kimchi market again, but after being self-sufficient, Bang Yue only went to the market to see the meat.

The days are probably going by day by day, and the small three-room house is cleaned up by Bang Yue; In addition to the dining table and cabinet in the main hall, Bang Yue also bought a set of second-hand chaise longue and coffee table, so that there is a place to sit when chatting with Aunt Huang, and a second-hand bookshelf and a small cabinet are also set up in the study to place those books, scripts and gadgets, and the house where Bang Yue lives, because the kang where he sleeps is really big, he invited the neighbor's uncle who does carpentry, measured the amount of the kang for himself, and made a cabinet according to the size of the kang, which happened to be nailed to the kang, so that the sleeping place is not so empty. She went to the cloth village and pulled a few pieces of cloth curtains, the entrance to the door, and the two rooms were separated by curtains, and the rope for drying clothes was also nailed outside the courtyard, Rao was her good interest, and personally built a rabbit nest, large and small captivity of four rabbits, when there were many vegetables in the field, Bang Yue could not even eat a cage, the old stubble was old, only to pull out, sow a new stubble, then the little rabbits played the spirit of my love of food not wasted.

Somehow, the hard-working Bang Yue suddenly fell in love with the taste of cabbage, stewed cabbage and tofu soup every day, and ate it every day, and went to Aunt Huang to ask for seeds, and began to plant cabbage diligently.

At night, Bang Yue, who borrowed wine to kill her sorrows, sat in the small courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, her mood became more and more dazed, and those feelings of fear, helplessness, and wandering were like wisps of green smoke, and she didn't know when they got into her heart...... Today, she lives on the money from selling her paintings, but what about the future? No matter how much money there is, it will be used up one day, and he is not a very thrifty person, so he saved and saved, and he used up as much as ten taels in just four months.

If you want to put it on the past, I am afraid that it will not be more than enough in a month, but now, every cent will be broken into two halves, and I don't want to think about the root of life, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will drink the northwest wind. The drunken and anxious Bang Yue was extremely uneasy, and she ran into the study overnight to find out what else she could sell. Before the baby paintings were sold, there was still a pair of "Insider's Shuanglu Tu" was reluctant anyway, she looked at it and gently put it back in the cabinet, and began to look at those purple clay pots, paperweights, brushes, etc., in the past, her brushes were sent by Lu Yangyang and the class owner, a jade pen is worth ten gold, in the first month after Lu Yangyang became famous, she sent such a handwriting. There are also blue and white porcelain lady ornaments, which are brought back from Jingdezhen by a wealthy ticket holder thousands of miles away. Exquisite Western objects glazed hourglass and magnifying glass, her favorite tea cup, six years of brick tea Lao Pu'er, and even the incense burner She has a tortoiseshell, what a good life did she live before...... Bang Yue looked at these carefully, and suddenly had confidence in her heart, the famous paintings were sold to sell teapots, the glass hourglass was sold and then sold magnifying glasses, in short, this pile was expensive, and there was a heavy bag of soft in the cabinet in the bedroom over there.

She went back to the bedroom and lowered the curtain to take a closer look, and without paying attention, she noticed a hairpin lying quietly next to her...... The hairpin was something she desperately didn't want to pay attention to, yes.

Liu Xuanyu went to Gong Yuesi to learn from the master in person, although it was just a plain silver hairpin, but it was inlaid with a warm and sweet purple jade, and a small line of words was engraved under the purple jade: The mountain has no tomb, the heaven and the earth are together, and you dare to be with the king. Give my wife a moon.

"Dare to fight with you...... My wife is the moon. Her nose was a little sore, rubbing the little line of words, and finally put it into her hair, no matter what the ending was, she had loved so sincerely so much, at least she could keep so many good memories, it was enough.

Early in the morning of the second day, Bang Yue had dinner, and then went to Dengfu Street with a glass hourglass and a magnifying glass, and coincidentally was hit by the boss of Sheng Pingzhai, the boss saw Bang Yue's dress and his eyes widened.

Look into her arms again, good guy, the feeling is reselling Western objects again, it looks like a good thing, Rao is boss also knows a little about Bang Yue one or two, if others are afraid that they will be suspicious, is it stolen......

"Come on, come on, girl, you're here to buy something again? You come to me, and I will give you the palm of your hand. ”

As soon as Bang Yue raised her eyes, it was him again, and it was easy to talk if she had done business, so she went in to say hello.

The boss took the glass hourglass and tasted it carefully, and when he was young, he held up a magnifying glass and put it in front of his eyes to fiddle.

"We're also old acquaintances, girl, I'll give you a real price, how about ten taels for two objects?"

Wen Bangyue listened to a burst of anger fixed on the door of her head, and almost didn't come out, "This glass hourglass is a foreign product from the West, this glass is a famous crystal craft in Austria, and the fine sand in it is all enamel, this one is worth fifty taels, you two out of ten taels, boss, you are too dark, right?" ”

"I'm a businessman! How can I sell it if you sell it so expensive? Besides, this thing is second-hand to you, rich people who don't buy new ones, I take your things because you are really pitiful, you just go to any one to try, no one will accept your things, I will tell you! At best, you are a noble person in trouble, but the aura of such a thing is not good, rich people pay attention to feng shui, so if you think about it badly, some shops are afraid to think that you are not a good thing. ”

"You!" Wen Bang Yue's blood rushed to the brain, daring to love this is a snobbish master, a while ago I saw myself wearing gold and silver, just Miss Long Miss is short, and now she actually slanders herself as a thief, and it is pointless to fight with such a person, she picked up something and turned around and went out, wanting to go to another store, but unexpectedly the boss followed out and shouted loudly.

"I said, little girl, you have a lot of ten taels! The streets are full of my family. After the boss finished speaking, he happened to see the probe looking at the lively shopkeeper Li, and arched his hand to the opposite side: "Shopkeeper Li is early!" ”

Nodding and going back to the store, Bang Yue rolled her eyes at him, "Hehe, don't bother with you, I have my own eyes to know the goods, so I will stand on this street and sell!" ”

The boss smiled, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you sell handicrafts on this street, do you have a business license?" Do you have a stall? Besides, even if you can sell it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it for even ten taels, this thing is in my Sheng Pingzhai and in your hands, that's two prices! If you're in a hurry to use the money, I'll help you. ”

The boss was shaking his head and taunting Bang Yue, and a mellow voice came from behind Bang Yue, "Show me what you have in your hand." ”

Bang Yue turned around, a graceful and luxurious lady stood beside her, a brown gold yarn looming in her lotus root-like forearms, a string of pearls worth a hundred taels, wrapped around the forearm four times, Bang Yue was a little nervous, and offered the two imported goods with both hands. The wife handed the fan in her hand to the maid, and she admired it carefully, and Shaoqing said, "Two pieces of fifty taels." ”

"Deal." Bang Yue nodded without thinking about it, if it wasn't for the nobles to rescue them, these two objects would have been destroyed in the hands of the boss.

"My carriage is at the corner of the street, you can come with me." The lady turned to leave, and Bang Yue followed, and the two chatted about the day, and when they reached the carriage, the lady handed her a heavy little bag.

"It's better to find some long-term livelihood, I see that you are quite clever...... So be it! Have you ever heard of Jade Pavilion? ”

Bang Yue nodded: "I've heard of the top cashmere flower shop in the capital." ”

"Well, the boss there is my niece, every year in the late summer and early autumn they choose an apprentice, the beginning of next month is the day, you take my velvet flowers to her, then I will also inform her about you, she will take you in as soon as she sees it." The beautiful woman said and plucked a small velvet flower from her head, which was a yellow peach flower, which was inconspicuous but full of vitality.

Bang Yue's heart was hot, and she knelt straight in front of the woman, and the one hurriedly helped Bang Yue up.

"Madam, the great grace and great virtue of saving the moon are in my heart."

"It's a great favor to you, it's just a small thing for me, it's just a mouthful, you can rest assured, and it's the most important thing to live a good life."

After some thanks, Bang Yue followed the carriage that saw the lady, holding the little yellow peach tightly in her hand.
