There were already many customers in the north room, who came hand in hand, talking to each other, whispering: those who came alone, bowed their heads and carefully appreciated.

Shen Fu glanced at it and noticed that there were not only more than a hundred finished products in the room, but also countless semi-finished products.

The so-called finished products are those fans that have gone through many processes such as pasting, folding, coloring, shaping, sanding, and beautifying; The so-called semi-finished products are scattered fan bones and fan surfaces, as well as supporting fan frames, fan hoops, fan sleeves, fan boxes, fan cabinets, fan boxes, fan pendants and other objects.

The couple approached the stall arm in arm, and saw that there were many kinds of fans on the shelves. Among them, according to the material, it can be divided into feather fan, rattan fan, cow bone fan, green bamboo fan, banana fan; According to the process, it can be divided into sandalwood fan, fire painting fan, silk fan, black paper fan; According to the style, it can be divided into wavy type, pointed head type, monk head, ruyi head, and mantis legs.

Chen Yun fell in love with a figure painting fan, and when he held it up and looked at it, he realized that the woman in the painting was not an ordinary person, but Li Xiangjun, who was beautiful and handsome.

With reverence for historical figures, Chen Yunzai carefully watched it from beginning to end. After a little glance, she was surprised to find a detail, it turned out that there were a total of eight fans on the shelves in the first row, and the one in her hand, counting from left to right, was exactly the fourth.

Shen Fu saw that she was stunned at the folding fan, and hurriedly leaned over to check the situation. This look is not too tight, and I can't help but praise it.

It turns out that the first row of the shelves on the eight folding fans are all outlined, painted beauties, and so on from left to right in turn, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangjun, Kou Baimen, Ma Xianglan, Liu Ruis, Chen Yuanyuan and Qin Huai Bayan are painted on the fan surface.

Eight beauties, with different postures and different styles, or relying on or standing, or happy or sad, the magnificent and indescribable eyes hide the bumpy life encounters.

"This is a heart, painting Qin Huai Bayan on the folding fan separately, and then putting it together, it is really ingenious!"

Shen Fu said with emotion, and suddenly sighed again: "It's just that in this way, if the customer only buys one of them, it will inevitably damage the mind of the fan maker!" ”

Chen Yun nodded yes, glanced at Li Xiangjun on the painting with touching eyes, and then reluctantly put the folding fan in its original position.

Shen Fu retracted his gaze, and looked behind the first line, only to see that the folding fans in the second and third rows were full of landscapes, flowers and birds, and the people who painted were also very wide, either Gu Kaizhi, Lu Tanwei, and Zhang Sengqiu, or Tang Yin, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying of the four families of Wumen, or the three Shanshui Guan Tong, Li Cheng, Fan Kuan, or Qingteng Baiyang, Chen Chun, and Xu Wei.

To the fourth line and the fifth line, there are not only landscapes, flowers and birds on the folding fan surface, but also many literati and ink writers, such as Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Zhu Suiliang, Ouyang Xun, Su Shi, Mi Fu, Huaisu, Huang Tingjian, Dong Qichang, etc.

After the fifth line, the folding fan is more and more valuable, many fans use mud gold, shaving gold, sprinkled gold, cold gold and other technologies, and the fan bone is also more sandalwood, ivory, tortoiseshell, ebony, Xiangfei, peach silk and the like; There are also some fans purchased from other places, such as Yuezhou leopard flower fan, Jinling paper-cut fan, Rongchang Xia cloth fan, which can really be described as exquisite.

Chen Yun was dazzled, gently rubbed her tired eyes, and then walked to the back of the shelf and held a folding fan to watch.

Shen Fu saw that she was looking seriously, and he also leaned forward with great interest, and asked softly, "But have you seen this folding fan?" ”

Chen Yun was silent, and slowly unfolded the folding fan to the top and sent it to Shen Fuyan's door.

Shen Fu was very puzzled when he saw her like this, so he hurriedly glanced at the fan, and saw that the black fan was painted with a mountain scenery:

The head of the fan is dull and gloomy, and the colorful auspicious clouds are swirling; The mountains and mountains in the fan are stacked, and the clear stream meanders nine meanders; The bamboo hut at the bottom of the fan, the two old men talked on their knees. There is another inscription poem next to the painting: 'The old house of the mangrove tree and the yellow thatched field, the mountain dog barks at the fence. There is nothing else to do at the village meeting, it must be when someone comes to borrow flowers. ’

"This is 'Mountain Dweller'!"

Shen Fu stared at the fan with surprise in his eyes, as if he had found the treasure of the world, revealing excitement and joy all over his body.

"Tang Bohu painted it!" Shen Fu asserted.

"Tang Bohu?"

Chen Yun has never been to a private school, only in her free time, she has read a few drama books, but she knows a little about Tang Bohu's play Qiu Xiang, so she opened her mouth and smiled: "Isn't it the one among the four great talents in Jiangnan?" ”

"Yes, that's him!"

Shen Fu answered casually, turned his head and focused on Tang Bohu's ink again.

Chen Yun was helpless, so she had to stand next to him and stare at him quietly.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper Wanfu walked out of the room to the south, and saw Shen Fu holding the black paper fan that had just been put on the shelves a few days ago, so he leaned over happily and said with a smile: "Childe has a good eye, these black paper fans were just transported from Fan Lane last night, and they are fresh and hot right now, how about it?" If you really like it, I can give you a discount! ”

"Alas, the price is not mentioned for the time being!"

Shen Fu slowly closed the black paper fan, raised his bright eyes, looked at Wanfu with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked, "Dare to ask the store, what kind of material is this fan bone?" ”

The shopkeeper Wan Fu squeezed out a smile: "The master is asking the right person, my ancestors have been selling fans for three generations, and it can be regarded as a little trick!" From ancient times to the present, the fan bone material is very particular, it can be sandalwood, Xiangfei, ivory, tortoiseshell, but generally speaking, it is still the first choice to use bamboo bones, for example, Xiangfei bamboo, Merlot bamboo, palm bamboo, Buddha belly bamboo! ”

"Then this black paper fan is made of Xiangfei bamboo?" Shen Fu asked as he swept the folding fan.

The shopkeeper Wanfu didn't dare to fool around, and told the truth: "Yes, I see that the son is angry and has extraordinary knowledge, so I will tell the truth with the son, we here in Suzhou have been using Xiangfei bamboo as fan bones from time to time, but in the past two years, a large number of Ningbo businessmen from Zhejiang have poured over, and our local commercial houses have been affected, and they have gradually liked Xiangfei bamboo fan bones, and the contemptible people are also judging the situation!" ”

Shen Fu touched the fan bone of the black paper fan, and said with a calm smile: "Listen to you, this folding fan should be expensive, right?" ”

The shopkeeper Wanfu shook his head: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, if it's too expensive, will we still do business when we open the door?" ”

When he said that, Wanfu had already looked Shen Fu up and down with his eyes, and saw that Shen Fu was long and jade, and his bearing was extraordinary, how to see how he was a rich master, he stretched out an index finger alone, and said with a smile: "One price, one tael!" Achievement, not achievement......"

"Deal!"

Shen Fu responded quickly, and when he saw Chen Yun wincing at him, he thought about it, and then opened his mouth to attach additional conditions to the store.

"Shopkeeper, I'll add one or two more to you, not only to take away this black paper fan, but also to bring the fan bones, fan covers, and fan boxes!"

The shopkeeper Wanfu smiled calmly and boasted casually: "Young master is refreshing!" Contemptible people like to do business with people like you! ”

The smile on his face hadn't faded yet, and Wan Fu turned around and shouted: "Xu Da, carefully pick a fan box, and by the way, take this young master to pick a fan pendant!" ”

Xu Da, who was standing not far away, hurriedly responded, and his feet came as if he had stepped on a hot wheel.

"Young master, please!"

Shen Fu smiled indifferently, lightly spit out the word 'go' to Chen Yun, and then spread his pace to keep up with Xu Da.

Chen Yun saw that he was in high spirits, and followed with a smile.

On the other side of the room, Xu Da respectfully sang 'Wait a minute', and then hurriedly buried his head in a few piles of gold and jade agate.

After about half a cup of tea, Xu Daxiao appeared in the field of vision, holding the jade carving Fulu Fenghou fan pendant in his hand and sending it.

Shen Fu took it with his hand, and saw that the fan was crystal and lovely, and he couldn't help but talk to Xu Da, who had a simple face: "We have only been here for a long time, and your store is crowded with people, so it can be seen that the business of the Guibao is very prosperous!" ”

Xu Dahan was naïve and said with a smile: "Where is it, accept your auspicious words!" Our store is a century-old brand, genuine, and there is no deception! ”

Shen Fu ignored him anymore, slowly hung the fan pendant on the black paper fan to play, and then smiled at Chen Yun and said, "Let's go!" ”

Chen Yun raised the corners of her lips, a trace of tenderness appeared between her eyes, and she naturally stood beside him, and stuffed her jade arm into his squeaky nest.

The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, walked away, and left the bachelor Xu Dada, looking at Tanlang Xie Nu, and casually spit out: "Guest officer go slowly, please come next time!" ”

Out of the Agarwood Pavilion, it was almost three o'clock, Shen Fu looked up at the clear sky, saw the white clouds in the sky floating and uncertain, turned his head to the thoughtful Chen Yun, and said, "The makeup on your face has been spent, why don't we go to the rouge shop first?" ”

Chen Yun lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, nodded his head in appreciation, and then turned his face away, looked at the smiling little minister, and asked: "We brought out a total of ten taels of silver, and your black paper fan alone cost two taels of silver, you are really generous!" ”

Shen Fu was rough and said: "I can't save it, wait for you to buy some rouge gouache, I'll buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and do a little calculation, and in the end, there should be three or four taels of silver left!" ”

"We can't just think about ourselves, but also buy some things for my father, mother, Xueqing, and Qitang by the way, otherwise, wouldn't we leave a handle for them and let them say that we are all married and not sensible?" Chen Yun said with a little worry, "If you calculate it like this, it's really a bit stretched!" ”

Shen Fu has always been an optimist, and at this moment he is no exception, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!" It's useless for you to worry about being poor, or buy one piece is counted as one, in the end it's really not enough, it's a big deal I don't buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, anyway, there is never a shortage of these in my father's study, and he is often not at home, so I will secretly embezzle it! ”

Chen Yun felt that it was okay, thought for a moment, and then pulled Shen Fu curiously, and asked, "Is your black paper fan worth so much money?" ”
