Chapter 7 Selling Paintings

Back in the dilapidated hut, Li Xiangzhi never forgot the woman just now, and his thoughts were concerned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is not that he fell in love with the woman at first sight, for people like Li Xiangzhi, there is nothing to say about love at first sight, the love of the rich comes and goes quickly, and it is more difficult for the poor to have love words, in his previous life, he once said to himself: Love is not enough, money to make up, no rich people even lack the foundation of love, how can there be love?

What he can't understand is that the world talks about love, but what is real love? 100 languages, 100 flavors. Nothing more than love is more than everything, and love can destroy everything. But he doesn't understand, why lovelorn people often talk about love, since your love is better than everything, then the reason for their separation is not better than love? Isn't that a paradox? Someone else said, love is the process, not the result, then he doesn't understand, in this case, love is destined to separate, so why do you need love, isn't the ancients saying: I wish to win the heart of a person, and the white head is not separated? Isn't this contrary to the original intention of love? And those so-called three-year pain and seven-year itch prove Li Xiangzhi's truth, this love is actually love skin! The freshness of the skin and flesh is over, and the heart is ape, so what is the so-called love? Li Xiangzhi didn't understand.

Love is inherently messy, and it is normal for people who have not experienced it to know what it feels like. Li Xiangzhi is one of them, what kind of love is for him, it is all bullshit, compared to his own fate, it is insignificant, like a drop in the ocean. Looking for a pleasing person to live a lifetime is the true meaning of life.

"All the stunners ordered by heaven will not bewitch their bodies, but will bewitch their people." Li Xiangzhi muttered. When he met a beautiful woman, Li Xiangzhi was naturally overjoyed, but it was not enough to stimulate his fighting spirit, and he made a blood vow to marry Yunyun, which was like the hormones of beasts breaking the table, it was better to directly shoot soberly. If a beautiful woman can get it, she will do what she wants, but if she is just destined to have no share, then she doesn't have to force it.

While his neighbors were lighting a fire, Lee Sang-zhi asked his neighbors for some charcoal hearts and sketched them on the newly bought drawing paper.

After a while, the pretty appearance of the woman just now jumped on the paper, vivid and abnormal, and Li Xiangzhi was stupid.

Following!

Aunt Li pushed open the door early, and Li Xiangzhi's door beckoned Li Xiangzhi to get up to eat.

"Xiucai! Scholar! Don't sleep, get up and eat. ”

Li Xiangzhi suddenly got up and said, "Auntie, didn't you say that you don't need to help me with the food?" ”

"If I don't do it for you, what will you eat?"

"Today I will go into the city to find some livelihood, and I will feed myself." Letting a neighbor prepare meals for him every day, and raising him like a waste, made Li Xiangzhi ashamed. After all, I am already an adult, and I can't drag others down.

Aunt Li frowned and said, "You should be busy with your own livelihood, and don't bury your talent too much...... Your father and mother don't want you to bear these at a young age, after all, you will have to take the test to gain fame in the future, as long as you take the test again, you will be rich. ”

Li Xiangzhi slandered: "Fan Jin can go crazy in the middle of the move, which shows that the township test is difficult." ”

"Huh? This...... What a beautiful girl! ”

Aunt Li accidentally saw the sketch image of Li Xiangzhi yesterday and was immediately amazed.

"Xiucai, whose girl is this?"

"I don't know! I met on the way home yesterday, and I only met once in a hurry. Li Xiangzhi swallowed the porridge and said vaguely.

"Tsk...... is still a talented showman, and he can draw such a vivid picture in a hurry. ”

When Li Xiangzhi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Auntie, what do you think of my painting work?" ”

"Okay, this is a charcoal painting, if you look closely, there are only a few brushstrokes, I just don't understand, but I can also see that this painting is like a real person looking in the mirror."

Li Xiangzhi said happily: "That's an exaggeration, I think I've found a suitable job." ”

——————

Entering Suzhou City early, Li Xiangzhi came to the more prosperous streets of Wuzhong, he decided to do the old business he had done before, sketching and painting for people, and the reason for choosing this street is because it is close to the academy, and most of the shops on both sides of the street are doing the business of scholars, such as pen, ink and paper workshop, qin and chess study, folding fan and green hat, clothes and hair bundles...... As long as there are those who should be readers, there are also some that readers should not have, for example, there is a place where the dragon flies and the phoenix dances like a big character with "Hu Banxian Quangua", and the half-old immortal old man is leisurely shaking the folding fan, bathing in the sun.

But even if this kind of small vendor wants to gain a foothold here, he has to pay black money, and there is no place in the underworld. But at least Li Xiangzhi can't afford it for the time being.

"Hello old man!" Li Xiangzhi greeted amiably.

The old man who told the fortune immediately straightened his posture and said with a long beard: "Childe is going to tell the fortune plan?" Ask about the future, marriage, or numerology? Forget it, look at the son's face, you and I should be fateful, and the old man will calculate the full set for the son, and the fee will only be charged according to one hexagram. ”

"Nope! No! No! I'm not here to tell fortunes. ”

The fortune teller was immediately displeased: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Li Xiangzhi smiled dryly: "I see that Mr. has not issued an order for a long time...... Well, why don't you divide the booth in half with me? To tell you the truth, I made a living by painting in my later life, but ...... I can't afford to pay for the booth, you see......"

The fortune teller said with a displeased face: "Let's go...... Walk...... Let's go, I noticed that the sun was shining today, but it poisoned my heart, it turned out that you, an unlucky scholar, were waiting for me. ”

"Ugh!" Li Xiangyi was not happy when he heard it: "Old man, you see that you have been old for a long time, and no one has been deceived, it is better to accept some money from me to make extra money!" ”

"Phew!" The fortune teller was furious, "What was deceived? Your afterlife is truly abominable. As he spoke, he raised the hexagram pole and waved it at Li Xiangzhi.

Li Xiangzhi's legs and feet are extremely neat, and he has slipped away early.

"Brother, do you want a stall?" Just as Li Xiangzhi was looking around, someone took the initiative to cling to him and said: "I still have some places here, why don't you and me squeeze in?" ”

"Oh, thank you Brother Ren, in Xia Li Xiangzhi, please ask Brother Taizun's surname?"

"In the lower ancient and modern passes."

Li Xiangzhi was stunned: "Good name, good name!" ”

The other party smiled wryly, looking a few years younger than Li Xiangzhi, but there was also a faint smell of poverty on his body. is in harmony with Li Xiangzhi.

"When the younger brother is studying and has spare time, he comes here to write letters for others, or write invitations for others. However, the younger brother is curious that since Brother Tai paints for others, the painting must be superior, so why not just send the painting to the painting shop for sale? ”

"Well, my painting is different from others, and if I paint for others, I must use people on the spot...... Actually, I don't know if I can buy money, so I'll give it a try. ”

"Understand, understand!" Ancient and modern Tong didn't say anything more.

Li Xiangzhi scratched his head, "What about this cost?" ”

"There is no need for expenses, everyone is a poor scholar, they should take care of each other, if Brother Li sells well, give a few pennies, if not, don't be reluctant."

"Good man, don't say more."

Li Xiangzhi was about to put the package on the table, but at this time, the ancient and modern Tong next to him came to the guest, and after just a few words, he said to Li Xiangzhi: "I have no chance to see Brother Li painting today, I have a guest here, and I want to come to the door to write a book, and it is estimated that it will take two hours, and Brother Li will do it himself." ”

"Good! Li and other brothers came to pick up the stall. ”

After the two said goodbye, Li Xiangzhi set up a simple wooden shelf, put the pre-folded drawing paper about the size of A4 paper on it, and placed a few charcoal hearts on the table.

Li Xiangzhi took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, and then opened his throat and roared: "Neighbors, neighbors, villagers, uncles, aunts, and young ladies come and take a look, take a look, the fresh on-site appearance, the characters are in the wood, stay in today's appearance, and the future generations will know." Let the sound still be ...... a hundred years after death"

Li Xiangyi's chaotic shouting is indeed eye-catching.

"TMD, you poor idiot, what kind of roar, if you dare to yell and scream, Lao Tzu will crush your bones." The manager of the big store that bought calligraphy and paintings opposite tore his throat and reprimanded.

Li Xiangzhi's neck shrunk and said curtly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too impulsive, uh no, I'm too excited." ”

At this time, several passers-by who were attracted to it surrounded them.

"Portrait? How much is a pair? ”

Li Xiangzhi's mind changed: "Rare things are expensive, and there are many rich people here, well, my paintings are bound to be very popular, and the price is high if they are sold less, which is conducive to development." ”

"The bust is 100 Wen, the whole body is like 150 Wen, if you bring a pet......"

"Insanity!" Before Li Xiangzhi finished speaking, there was no one left in the crowd of onlookers.

"Hahahaha......" suddenly smiled and looked at the lively calligraphy and painting shops opposite.

Li Xiangzhi repented: "Hey, oops, the price will be negotiable, the price will be negotiable......"

Everything was ready, close to noon, the weather was getting hotter, nearly two hours, Li Xiangzhi had not yet had business to come to the door, and he was so conscious that he had to hang a sign and hold a thick piece of paper to cover his head and fall asleep.

It's no wonder that the business doesn't come to the door, this Li Xiangzhi can be said to have chosen the wrong place, this is the place where the literati gather, the ancients did not fall on the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in this era, the ink and wash Danqing did not have high requirements for portraits, the characters are basically foils, or half a show, if it is a formal frontal painting, it is everyone who shoots, and those who can be invited are basically directly invited into the house to paint, who runs on the street to show off. The main reason is that people don't understand the beauty of sketching. And Li Xiangzhi doesn't exhibit a few works, so who knows.

"Miss, Miss, I saw my uncle just now."
