Chapter 233: The Name of the Mountain

Zhou Ning is confident that even if he doesn't become an official, he can make a living even if he sells calligraphy and paintings on the long street, and the fan he paints will definitely meet people who know the goods. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Coupled with the fish talisman seal of his seventh-rank official, it shouldn't be a problem for this fan to sell for three or five taels, but no matter how good it is, it will be worthless if it floods.

Zhou Ning can't paint a fan for him all the time, he needs at least one hundred and thirty taels of silver to pay off the debt, can Zhou Ning paint fifty or sixty fans for him? I don't have that time.

Zhou Ning only painted ten, and ten fans don't sell much normally, but when it is advertised that this is a limited edition, it will be different immediately.

There are not two fans selling on this street, but none of them have fish charms printed on their fans. Which official can put down his face and paint a fan to sell?

There are many literati in the capital, and everyone is looking forward to the title of the gold list, don't look at the seven-grade official Xiao, which is also a chance to be on the gold list, and how many people have passed the Jinshi exam and have to wait for the distribution, not necessarily when they can wear the official uniform.

Holding a fan with a fish talisman seal in his hand is both a face and a good omen. What's more, there are only ten of them, and if you start slowly, you will be gone.

Scarcity is expensive, and the fan with the fish charm seal itself is out of stock, and this is a limited edition, so it will naturally cost a little more silver to get it.

But the shopkeeper has no bottom in his heart, he is a businessman, habitually judging the price of things, from the skill of Zhou Ning's painting, a fan can be sold for about three taels of silver, even if the fish charm seal can be sold for five taels.

Zhou Ning asked him to sell the first five for fifteen taels of silver, and the latter for twenty taels of silver, which was simply a robbery price, and it couldn't be sold at all.

It's easy to say if it's the middle of summer, after all, there are relatively more people who choose fans at that time, and maybe you can meet the big head.

It's October, and not many people want the fan for free, and you still offer a sky-high price, is this crazy for money?

What he is worried about is not that he can't sell it, but whether he will be responsible if he can't sell it? The fan painted by the adult asks you to sell it, and you dare to say that you can't sell it? Doesn't that mean that adults don't draw well?

Generally speaking, when this kind of thing happens, you can only spend your own money to eliminate the disaster, whether the fan can be sold or not, you can just give the adult money according to the price.

The problem is that the store has no money, and he is now asking for money, and he wants to have a family. If a person is thin to a certain extent, he can't be fat with a swollen face.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Zhou Ning: "My lord, it's cold this day, and the fan is really not easy to sell, I'm afraid it won't be sold out in a short time." ”

His meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that Zhou Ning can give him more grace, at least he has to wait for him to sell the shop before he can give Zhou Ning money.

Zhou Ning couldn't hear the meaning of his words, he smiled: "If you can't sell it in one day, you can sell it for two days, if you can't sell it in two days, you can sell it for three days, if you can't sell it in three days, you just go to the Spring Breeze Inn to find me, fifteen taels and one, how much do you have left, I have it all, how about it?" ”

"......" The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Ning dumbfounded, and he couldn't react stupidly to what the adults said.

What does the adult mean is that he doesn't want the fan to sell for money? And if he can't sell it, he'll give it back? Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if you can't sell a handful, you will be able to get 150 taels of silver in three days.

One hundred and fifty taels of silver meant that the shopkeeper had saved his life, and he had one hundred and thirty taels of silver to pay off his debts, and the remaining twenty taels of silver was enough for him to buy some firewood and rice, and enough to buy some other goods to make the business work.

"Smack!" Lu Qing slapped the shopkeeper on the shoulder: "What are you stupid about?" ”

Seeing the stupid appearance of the store, Lu Qing was anxious for him, he was stunned, turned his head to look at Lu Qing, and Lu Qing glanced at him.

Seeing his eyes drift straight to the adult, the shopkeeper suddenly realized 'oh'.

'Bang' knelt on the ground, and quickly kowtowed to Zhou Ning: "Lord Xie, Lord Xie." If he wanted to say something more, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything when he choked his throat, and he kowtowed to Zhou Ning three times in a panic.

"Nothing, it doesn't have to be this way." Zhou Ning smiled and raised his hand, but the shopkeeper did not get up, but fell to the ground and cried.

Lu Qing stepped forward to help him up and persuaded: "Who can not encounter some difficulties in this life?" There is no river that you can't wade, adults pull you, you can live a good life in the future, and remember not to jump into the fire pit again. ”

People are not sad and difficult to cry, and the store did not cry, but the tears were like springs and couldn't be contained. He thought that he would never be able to jump out of the fire pit in his life, and that this mountain would drive him to his death sooner or later.

I never dreamed that suddenly there was a life-saving Bodhisattva descending from the sky, which is the virtue of how many high incense was burned in the previous life.

Zhou Ning waited for his mood to stabilize and asked, "Are there any relatives and friends in your family with the surnames Yuan, Hou, Ma, and Zhu?" ”

The shopkeeper was even more stunned when he heard this, he opened his mouth and slowed down for a moment before he spoke: "My surname is Hou, and my mother's surname is Ma." ”

Where did this come from? This is simply the lower realm of the gods, could it be that he can pinch it? The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "My maternal uncle has a brother-in-law surnamed Zhu, but I can't think of a person surnamed Yuan." ”

"Hmm." Zhou Ning nodded, there is no need to have a surname Yuan if there is a surname. "Do you know anyone with the surname 'Takayama', 'Chunshan', or 'Dashi' in their names?"

The shopkeeper blinked and shook his head, "No." ”

"No?" Zhou Ning clearly saw from the paintings left by his father that there was, how could he say that there was not? Is it thinking in the wrong direction?

Zhou Ning's brows twisted into a big pimple, and he continued to meditate on the two paintings, guessing the meaning of the paintings.

The shopkeeper didn't understand why Zhou Ning suddenly asked this, he said cautiously: "My uncle's name is Hou Shan." ”

"Then you said no?" Zhou Ning was furious at that time, and yelled at him angrily.

The shopkeeper was frightened and whispered: "It's called Hou Mountain, if it's not Hou Gao Mountain, Hou Chun Mountain, I don't dare to say it." ”

Zhou Ning glanced at him, but he couldn't blame the store entirely, and he also blamed himself for not speaking clearly. Zhou Ning saw from the painting that his father had lent money to a person surnamed Yuan or Hou, who should have the word 'mountain' in his name.

Since his uncle's name is Hou Shan, that's right, his father should have lent him the money. Zhou Ning asked again: "Your uncle is in the mountain goods business, right?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes almost fell out of their sockets, and this adult was too scary. If you don't even know what his surname is, you can know the name of his uncle, and you can also know that his uncle is in the mountain goods business, is it really like the old people said that the people who are officials are all stars in the sky?
