Li Feibai had no choice but to withdraw his hand, put the silver back into his jacket, and took out another hundred coins and handed it to the girl.

The girl took the money, folded the painting, and handed it to Qian Zijun. Qian Zijun put the painting in his arms, glanced at the payment of the other paintings on the case, and said, "Your name is Hou Yanmin?" ”

The girl nodded as she picked up the unsold paintings.

Qian Zijun said: "It's a pity that the girl paints so well and sells it for ten yuan!" ”

Hou Yanmin said: "There is no way, no one will buy it if it is expensive." ”

Qian Zijun pointed to the crowd of people wandering around and said, "With all due respect, painting this kind of thing is sold to people who know the goods, not for peddlers and pawns." You set up a stall here, it's obvious that it's a pearl and a secret investment, not to mention ten cents, no one buys five cents. Why don't you go around the art shop and sell the painting to them? ”

Hou Yanmin sighed and said, "Why didn't you go?" But as long as people only want the calligraphy and paintings of famous artists, when they heard that I was selling their own paintings, they didn't even look at them, so they kicked me out. ”

Qian Zijun said: "That's it! I'm familiar with Kaifeng Mansion, so I can find a way for you. At the level of your paintings, I dare not say that a painting sells for 100 taels, but it is still no problem to sell for 50 or 60 taels? ”

Hou Yanmin's eyes lit up and said, "Can you really sell it for fifty taels?" If you can really sell it for fifty taels, you can give me twenty-five taels for one piece. ”

Qian Zijun said: "I'll talk about these later." I took the liberty of asking, I don't know where the girl's house is? When I have a buyer, I can ask you to buy the painting. ”

Hou Yanmin shook her head and said, "I am home all over the world." If you have money to live in a hotel, you can't afford to find a place to sleep! Originally, I was going to leave Jiyuan in two days to paint somewhere else, but since you have a way, I'll stay here for a little longer, and come here every Friday every month to paint, and then you can come here to find me. ”

Qian Zijun saw Hou Yanmin's lonely expression when he spoke, and knew that there must be a hidden situation here, but now they were strangers to each other and inconvenient to ask, and said, "It's really inconvenient for a girl to wander around." You see, this will not work, my brother has just bought two storefronts as a shop, two rooms upstairs, and he lives in one room and there is still one free. Why don't you go and live with him, and when the painting is sold, how about giving him 100 yuan a month as rent? ”

Hou Yanmin's face showed a vigilant look and said, "No need! I still have a few pieces of jewelry, which were originally left to me by my mother, and I am reluctant to sell them. Now I sell one or two pieces, and I have my own money to live in the store. If you really have a way, I will wait for you here for two months and wait for good news, and if the time comes, I will leave. After that, he picked up the pen and leaned over to draw again, with a gesture of refusing to be thousands of miles away, unwilling to speak again, and asking Qian Zijun and Li Feibai to leave.

Qian Zijun smiled wryly and said, "Second brother, let's go!" When the two left the painting stall, he lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, I originally thought that the building near the water would get the moon first." If you want to get her to you, it won't take long for your good thing to happen, but I didn't expect her to be vigilant. But it's okay, at least keep her in Jiyuan, when you're fine, come to her, the so-called long-term love should be possible! ”

Li Feibai let out an "ah" and said, "It turns out that you don't plan to help her sell paintings!" ”

Qian Zijun said with a smile: "You still have to help selling paintings!" But if it makes a good deed for the two of you, it will be a great achievement. Second brother, you have a good eye, this woman is not only handsome, but also very good at painting, she is simply a talented girl. If you hadn't taken a fancy to her first, the eldest brother would have tried his best to pursue her. ”

Li Feibai was speechless, why did Ma Kun and Qian Zijun think that he was interested in Hou Yanmin? You have to match the two of them into a couple. He explained: "Big brother, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that at all? ”

Qian Zijun said: "Do you think that I have eaten salt for several years more than you and eaten it for nothing, and I can't see the little Jiujiu in your heart?" It's not interesting, your eyes light up when you see her? It's not interesting, the price of other people's paintings is only ten yuan, and you give people five taels a piece? ”

Li Feibai said: "Did I see her eyes shine?" Nope! I gave her five taels, not because she was so pitiful that she couldn't even take out the land money for Sanwen. ”

Qian Zijun poked Li Feibai's heart with his hand and said, "You can deceive your mouth, but you can't deceive your heart." After a pause, he said, "Poor her? There are many poor people on the street, and I don't see you giving five taels of silver each. ”

Li Feibai wanted to say something more, but suddenly heard the chaos behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a rich boy leading six followers from there.

At the temple fair, the road between the stalls is not wide, and it is crowded with bustling people. Seven people, six in front of the way, someone in the way of the way reached out and pushed aside, no matter how unsteady the person stands, knocking down the roadside stall, breaking the stall on the stall. All of a sudden, pedestrians avoided one after another, and the stall owner hurriedly protected the stall, startling the children to cry, the pedestrians to look angry, and the stall owners complained.

The seven didn't care, but thought it was fun, laughed and walked to the front of the temple gate.

Hou Yanmin was also shocked by the chaos and raised her head to look. An entourage happened to see it, pointed at her and said to the rich boy: "Zheng Gongzi, look at the little lady who paints over there is so beautiful." ”

When Zheng Gongzi went to see it, Hou Yanmin had already lowered his head and continued to paint, and he asked, "Is it really beautiful?" ”

The attendant said, "It's really beautiful! After thinking for a while, he said: "Anyway, it is a hundred times more beautiful than the girls in Cuixiang Building, a thousand times." ”

Zheng Gongzi let out an "oh" and said, "Then let's go over and take a look!" ”

The seven people came to Hou Yanmin's painting stall, and an entourage shouted: "Stop drawing, stop painting!" As he spoke, he grabbed the pen in Hou Yanmin's hand. Hou Yanmin shrank back, avoided the attendant, looked up and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zheng Gongzi let out a "huh" and said, "It's really beautiful!" Reaching out to touch Hou Yanmin's face. Hou Yanmin raised her hand to block it and said, "Keep your hands and feet clean!" ”

Zheng Gongzi laughed twice and said, "How do you do business?" When a guest comes, he should greet him with a smile, and how can he do business with such a treat? He pointed to the paintings on the case, and then said, "I want them all!" ”

Hou Yanmin said: "Thirty-seven paintings, a total of three hundred and seventy dollars. You put the money on the case, take the painting and leave! ”

Zheng Gongzi asked an entourage to pay for a painting, and said with a smile: "Little lady, I bought all your paintings, now you can go with me!" ”

Hou Yanmin said: "What do you mean? ”

Zheng Gongzi said: "If I am not the one who likes you, why do I buy your paintings?" It's pitch black, and I'm afraid I'll get my ass dirty when I wipe my ass. Now, your paintings are sold out, and people are fine, so go back and play with me! ”

Hou Yanmin gritted her teeth and said, "Leave the painting for me, take your stinky money away, and get out of here!" ”

Zheng Gongzi said: "Ouch, people are so beautiful and can scold, I like it!" ”

An attendant said: "Little girl, Zheng Gongzi has taken a fancy to you as your blessing." Follow us Zheng Gongzi, to ensure that you eat and drink spicy food, is it not better than you selling paintings here? Hehe, as long as we Zheng Gongzi are comfortable, not to mention 370 Wen, 3,700 Wen, 37,000 Wen will also be given to you. ”

Hou Yanmin said angrily: "Hurry up and get out of here, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”

Zheng Gongzi crossed his hands on his waist, tilted his head back, took two steps forward with a sway, and said: "In Jiyuan, an acre and three points of land, the people who can be unkind to me have not yet been born?" Today I'm going to see how you're being rude! ”

said that it was too late, Hou Yanmin leaned forward, picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it at Zheng Gongzi. This smash was extremely accurate, hitting Zheng Gongzi's forehead.
