Chapter 233: Buying an inkstone in the store

The person standing in front of him was none other than Fu Yu.

Seeing Fu Yu, Wen Qingzhu felt even more unhappy.

"Miss Wen, Ah Yi is my cousin, of course I can go to Zhou's house, I heard that she invited you, so I came over to have a look."

Fu Yu looked very pleasing to the eye.

But Wen Qingzhu just looked at him unpleasantly.

At this moment, Zhou Yi lifted the curtain of the car and got down with the support of the maid.

"Sister Wen, I told my cousin, I heard that you already knew your cousin, so I thought about bringing him along."

Seeing that Zhou Yi exonerated Fu Yu, Wen Qingzhu had no choice.

"Alright, let's go." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to see Fu Yu now, so he simply turned his face.

It's just that they were just about to get into the car, but there was a gentle voice behind them.

"Miss Zhou, what a coincidence!"

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look and found that the people who came were not only Wen Mingliang, but also Wen Qingxin.

Many people were gone, and she was getting thinner and thinner.

"Seventh sister, Fu Gongzi, Miss Zhou." Wen Qingxin greeted politely.

Wen Qingzhu looked at them: "Are you going out too?" ”

"Well, I'll take Xin'er to Fengguo Temple." Wen Mingliang explained frankly.

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu glanced at Wen Qingxin in surprise.

The last time she asked Lei Shuo, she also wanted to go to Fengguo Temple.

Wen Qingxin is so coincidental that he is going out, is the purpose also the master of the nine lights?

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they went out separately.

Fu Yu rode his horse, and Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Yi sat in the car.

After a while, it seemed that someone was coming from outside.

Fu Yu stopped on the side of the road, and Zhou Yi couldn't help but lift the curtains of the car to look.

I found that a Fu family member was talking to Fu Yu.

Zhou Yi frowned and withdrew his gaze, and clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu opened his mouth and asked her, "Isn't Gongzi Fu going?" ”

"It should be." Zhou Yi's voice was very lost.

Seeing her like this, Wen Qingzhu probably understood her thoughts.

It seems that Zhou Yi likes Fu Yu.

In this way, Wen Mingliang has no chance.

Although Fu Yu may not marry Zhou Yi in the end.

Compared with Jiang Yijia, Zhou Yi is a more suitable candidate.

I walked out into the street and listened to the voices of people outside.

Zhou Yi suddenly said, "Sister Wen used to go out shopping often?" ”

"Hardly." Wen Qingzhu shook his head.

Zhou Yi looked at her eagerly: "It should be almost time for the Sibao Study now, I want to buy an inkstone for my cousin, I got the news yesterday that there will be a new batch of inkstones back from the Sibao Study today." ”

"Then I'll accompany Sister Zhou down." Wen Qingzhu felt that this was nothing.

With a character like Zhou Yi, it is normal to like Fu Yu.

However, she still felt that Zhou Yi was a little blind, and Fu Yu was not as frank as Zhou Yi!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped at the door of the Four Treasures Study.

After they got out of the car, Wen Qingzhu saw the Four Treasures Study that Zhou Yi said.

Looking up, many young ladies and sons are going in and out of here.

"This way." Zhou Yi took Wen Qingzhu's hand and led her in through the side door.

Wen Qingzhu smiled, it seemed that she had come many times.

When he arrived at the house, the shopkeeper recognized Zhou Yilai at a glance.

"Miss Zhou, please on the second floor." The shopkeeper himself led them up to the second floor.

On the second floor, there are fewer people.

Crucially, there are private rooms separated by screens.

It is neither completely closed nor completely open, which is very suitable for a young lady like Zhou Yi to buy things.

When they arrived at an accord and sat down, a maid came forward.

"Miss Zhou, are you the inkstones you want to come back today?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Well, I want to pick one for my cousin." ”

"Miss Zhou, wait a minute, I've already sent someone to get it." The maid said gently and politely.

Then he turned his head to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Does this young lady need anything?" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought about it, Mingxuan should also use something better.

She raised her head and said, "Do you have pine smoke ink from Huizhou, wolf pen from Bozhou, and rice paper from Los Angeles?" ”

Hearing her words, the maid was stunned.

Zhou Yi was also very surprised, Wen Qingzhu came up to rush to order good things.

After a long time, the maid asked in detail: "What the young lady said about Huizhou pine smoke ink is Jinji?" ”

"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu nodded.

The maid's face stiffened: "Then the wolf pen in Bozhou belongs to the Liu family?" ”

"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu nodded again.

The maid's face stiffened again: "Then, the rice paper in Luocheng belongs to the Sun family?" ”

"It's nature." Wen Qingzhu's smile expanded. Number One

Although I don't know what the origin of this Four Treasures Study is, Zhou Yi often comes here, and there must be a lot of good things.

The maid hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "Miss, these things are all rationed in our store, and now there is a batch of Lushan inkstones, do you want to take a look first?" ”

"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded, and at the same time instructed, "If these things I say, when will you have them in your store, send someone to inform you, and the silver is not a problem." ”

"Yes." The maid hurriedly nodded and retreated.

When there were no other idle people waiting next to him, Zhou Yi asked with admiration: "Are these things that my sister wants to give away?" ”

"No, I bought it for my brother, it's time for him to practice calligraphy, he will be more serious about using good things, and the effect will be better." Wen Qingzhu explained.

Zhou Yi was thoughtful.

After a while, the maid came with two men.

Eight inkstones were laid down in front of and back.

Landscapes, flowers and birds, plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, are exactly what elegant people like.

Wen Qingzhu picked up one of the inkstones, looked at it carefully, and then silently put it back.

The maid had seen Wen Qingzhu's skills just now, and hurriedly asked, "Don't you like it?" ”

"It's okay, I want this one bamboo." Wen Qingzhu didn't like it much on his face.

Not to mention the maid, Zhou Yi could hear the reluctance in her words: "Sister Wen thinks these things are not good?" ”

"It's good." Wen Qingzhu hurriedly showed a hint of appreciation.

However, Zhou Yi put down the inkstone in his hand: "This thing is a good thing, but it is actually nothing to give it to my cousin." ”

"Sister Wen, have you ever seen a better inkstone?" Zhou Yi felt that Wen Qingzhu must have seen a lot of good things.

This time Zhou Yi's aunt is Fu Yu's mother.

deliberately told her that Fu Yu's favorite inkstone before was broken.

So that she can prepare a new one to send over.

Therefore, Zhou Yi decided to pick the best one.

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at Zhou Yi: "You should have given Fu Gongzi a lot of things before, right?" Is it special to send this time? ”

"Hmmm! This time is different from before. Zhou Yi's eyes were very serious, "Listening to Sister Wen's words just now, I feel that Sister Wen is very knowledgeable, why don't Sister Wen give me a reference?" ”

Wen Qingzhu nodded slowly, and turned his head to look at the maid: "These eight inkstones are also of ordinary level, I estimate that it is about one hundred taels of silver, and you can ask for about five hundred taels of inkstones in your store?" ”

The maid opened her mouth, a little incredulous: "Little, what the young lady wants to ask about is an inkstone of five hundred taels?" ”

"Well, I think since you know the Jin Ji Liu family and the like, you must know that there will be a flowing water inkstone near Lushan!"

The maid stammered, not knowing what to say, and finally said, "Wait a minute, two young ladies, I'll go and ask." ”

After the maid left, Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Do they really have a flowing inkstone here?" Isn't this kind of thing all priceless and unmarketable? ”

"You heard it just now, the maid said, she went and asked, that is, it must be there, but this thing may have been ordered, or sold to a designated person." Wen Qingzhu didn't dare to say that he could completely.

After all, this is someone else's thing, and they can't force them to buy and sell.

After two quarters of an hour, the maid came back with a brocade box.

She said very respectfully: "The boss said that since the two young ladies know the goods, then this flowing water inkstone will be sold to the two ladies." ”

After putting down the brocade box, the maid opened it lightly.

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was an inkstone with round edges and delicate texture, but naturally floating with a layer of fine lines.

"Good stuff!" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect such good luck today, the quality of the flowing inkstone is uncertain, this piece is already quite good." ”

"Miss really knows the goods, the boss said, give the two young ladies a friendship price, five thousand taels of silver."

Wen Qingzhu didn't react, but Zhou Yi was stunned.

I almost blurted out: It's so expensive!

Although Zhou Yi is not short of money, her private money is only 30,000 taels of silver, and it seems a little cost-effective to spend 5,000 silver to buy an inkstone that will not last long.

However, this hesitation only existed for a moment, and Zhou Yi immediately replied: "I want this inkstone!" ”

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for Miss." The maid closed the lid and prepared to pack it.

Wen Qingzhu held down the maid's hand, turned her head and asked Zhou Yi: "Sister Zhou, is it appropriate to buy an inkstone with so much silver?" ”

She mainly felt that it was inappropriate to give it to Fu Yu.

"Since Sister Wen has said it, of course I want to buy it, after all, it is for my cousin." Zhou Yi's eyes were full of joy.

Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to let go of her hand, since Zhou Yi wanted to buy it, she couldn't stop it.

I just thought, next time I can come over and have a look, I can buy a better one for Fu Lie.

Her eldest brother Fu doesn't have to be worse than Fu Yu anywhere, of course, she has to use better.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu's heart moved: "Do you still have a flowing water inkstone?" ”

The maid was even more shocked at this time: "Does Miss still want a piece?" ”

Wen Qingzhu glanced at Zhou Yi: "This piece is what Miss Zhou wanted, I suddenly remembered that I want to give it away, if there is, I want to buy it, I hope your boss will give face." ”

"This ......," the maid was a little embarrassed.

Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to hand over a purse: "This is five taels of gold coins, it is not a tribute, please trouble the girl to go for a trip." ”

"Well, well." The maid took the purse, turned and walked away.

This time, though, the maid came back quickly.

She handed the purse back to the green pottery: "The boss said that another flowing inkstone is of other use, and the young lady will come back next year to take a look." ”

Wen Qingzhu was a little disappointed: "Okay, it's not difficult to be strong." ”

Lu Tao received Wen Qingzhu's eyes, and handed the purse back: "This bit of gold is regarded as an errand fee for the girl, after all, you are also bothering you." ”

The maid was embarrassed to accept it.

After Zhou Yi paid the bill, Wen Qingzhu stood up: "Sister Zhou, let's go." ”

"Hmm!" As soon as Zhou Yi got up, he saw a gorgeously dressed maid running over.

Wen Qingzhu felt that something was wrong, and said something to Zhou Yi, and the two went downstairs quickly.

It's just that when I was about to go out, there was a sudden gust of wind behind me.

Wen Qingzhu pulled Zhou Yi sideways to dodge, and turned his head to see that a flamboyantly dressed woman with two guards should come over.

"Stop for Miss Ben!"
