Chapter 52: Famous in the capital

Everyone looked at the poem left by Cheng Wu and talked about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The young man in his twenties, who was standing at the front reading aloud just now, looked at the old farmer in the picture and said: "I have to say, this is indeed a good poem, and it is rare that it matches this painting very well.

"Yes, originally this painting was Yan Liben's work, and its price is needless to say, and now with this poem, what is even more remarkable is that this font, why have I never seen it before?"

"Well, looking at this pair of words, it makes people have a sense of elegance, fairness, leisure, and nobility, and makes people have a sense of peace and simplicity, ancient and elegant, and a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze, which is the spirit of a gentleman." An elderly man next to him heard so many people watching, and he also walked over, looked at the ink treasure left by Cheng Wu, and said.

Cheng Wu didn't expect that the words he left on a whim would be liked by so many people, and even more so, even more directly called for buying.

"Xiao Er, I bought this painting, 50 taels of silver." A young man in a robe took out a silver bag directly from his entourage and threw it directly at Xiao Er, with a look of determination.

"I'll give you a hundred taels." A middle-aged man who was a little older, about thirty-five years old, also threw a larger silver bag to Xiao Er after hearing this.

"I'm out one hundred and five"

"I'll make three hundred"

"I'm out of four hundred"

……

"I'm out of eight hundred"

Until finally, the price soared all the way to eight hundred taels of silver.

The middle-aged man who looked obese for eight hundred taels of silver, saw that no one offered a higher price than his own, thinking that this calligraphy and painting must be his own, and looked at Xiao Er proudly.

Looking at the silver bags piled up like a mound on the floor in front of him, Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, he couldn't be the master, he could only accompany a smiling face, bowed down and said apologetically to the surroundings: "Everyone, everyone, I'm just an errand runner, this is such a big thing, I can't be the master, so let's wait patiently for a while, I will report to the shopkeeper and see what the shopkeeper says, okay." ”

"Then why don't you hurry up?" Some can't wait, if it weren't for the damage to their image in public, they would want to scold directly.

Xiao Er hurriedly ran to the first floor and reported to the shopkeeper.

Hearing Xiao Er's report, the shopkeeper was really shocked, and when he heard Xiao Er say that there was one of them, Mr. Yu Shinan also commented, saying that it was a masterpiece, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Who is Yu Shinan, that is a master of calligraphy, and Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji are known as the four major calligraphers today, can what he said be false? To be able to get the works that Mr. Yu Shinan said was good, now you can count them with one finger, those works are now all treasures that have been treasured, and you don't want to buy them, thinking that a masterpiece is about to come out in your own restaurant, the shopkeeper is so nervous that his forehead is sweating.

Businessmen were originally a group that was not favored by the world, and now they have finally got a little bit of contact with culture, how can the shopkeeper let it slip away in vain with this kind of opportunity?

"Shopkeeper, sell or not, you give a word, everyone is waiting." Xiao Er saw the shopkeeper's out-of-body look, and asked in a low voice.

"Of course you can't sell it, you are stupid, such a good calligraphy and painting, just that painting, it was the head of the family who finally asked for it from Yan Liben with a dead face, and now it has added a pair of words praised by Mr. Yu Shinan, plus that good poem, if such a good work is sold, the head of the family must not hang it in the city to dry." The shopkeeper said excitedly as he walked and walked upstairs.

Now what he has to do is to hide the literati upstairs, if it doesn't work, the entire restaurant will be demolished by them, and it is possible. Don't look at them one by one, they are usually drowned, but if a group of literati start to be ruthless, their own small restaurant will not be enough for them to demolish.

After finally settling the guests on the second floor, the shopkeeper looked like he had been fished out of the water, and his clothes soaked with sweat were pasted on him.

In this way, the shrewd shopkeeper ordered someone to hang up the calligraphy and painting that Cheng Wu cooperated with Mr. Yu Shinan in the hall on the first floor.

Unconsciously, the business of this restaurant called Kelaiju has increased since today, and countless literati and artists have come here to see the style of this calligraphy and painting. If it weren't for the hard backstage of this restaurant, this calligraphy and painting would have been forced to sell it long ago.

With Yu Shinan's praise, Cheng Wu's fame suddenly climbed up like a rocket, and many people were asking around about Cheng Wu's name, but because Cheng Wu was not a person from this time and space, and Cheng Wu rarely came out to walk around, so within this day, the people in the restaurant still didn't know Cheng Wu's origin, and only the shopkeeper laughed secretly in his heart: Hmph, you didn't expect it, this is our little grandfather's husband, Cheng Wu.

What Cheng Wu didn't expect was that the Mobao restaurant he left behind on a whim turned out to be an industry under Cheng Yanjin's name, if he knew, he would definitely not give money, just because Cheng Yanjin went to eat there so many times, Cheng Wu came here to eat every day in his life, and he couldn't calm the anger in his heart.

After Cheng Wu and Lin Xuan and Lin Hui came out of the guest restaurant together, they walked around the street for a while and bought a few sets of clothes for the two girls, and at the same time, they also bought a set for the housekeeper Lin Wan and the servant Huang Ying.

After Cheng Wu bought a few sets of clothes for a few people in his family, he also bought a lot of antiques in the antique shop, using bronze tripods, bronze stoves, calligraphy and paintings...... Wait, a lot of things, in the end there were too many things to take, and when it came to the last antique shop, the shopkeeper was very kind to send a carriage to help Cheng Wu transport it back.

When he arrived at home, Cheng Wu looked at his watch, it was already 3:25 in the afternoon, Cheng Wu was not at home, the housekeeper and Huang Ying had already cooked lunch in the front yard by themselves, they had their own kitchens in the front yard, and when Cheng Wu didn't have a special explanation, the two of them cooked and ate in the front yard by themselves.

After a day of walking around the street, sweating all over, Cheng Wu took a cold shower in the special bath room that had just been built in the middle courtyard and went to sleep in the backyard.

This bath room was built under the guidance of Cheng Wu, behind the bath room, Cheng Wu ordered people to build a high platform that is three meters high and three or four square meters wide from the ground, and a three-and-a-half-meter-wide building can be handed up on the high platform, and two big water tanks are placed on the high platform. A hole is drilled at the bottom of the water tank, and a bamboo tube pipe with a pierced bamboo hole is connected to the bathroom below, and a plug is used to block the water when not in use.

This is a simple tap water arch water system, originally Cheng Wu wanted to find some plastic pipes on Taobao, but he was afraid of arousing Li Er's suspicion, so it was useless, and finally switched to bamboo at the suggestion of the housekeeper.

I don't know what these carpenters used to make a water pipe by opening up the sections of bamboo, and I don't know what gelatinous substance was used, and the seal was so good that there was no leakage. Cheng Wu was once again impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.

Cheng Wu didn't know how long he had been asleep, and in a blur, he heard a big voice coming in from outside the door.

Cheng Wu knew that this voice was the one of the demon king of the mixed world, Cheng Biting Jin.

Sure enough, Cheng Yanjin walked in laughing, pulled Cheng Wu up, and asked, "Nephew, did you go out today?" ”

"yes, I went out for a walk in the morning, and I went back and slept now, by the way, what time is it?" Cheng Wu thought for a while and replied. Cheng Wu glanced at the other party with complaining eyes, thinking, don't you know that disturbing someone's sleep is equivalent to murder?

"Then when you went out today, did you write a poem in a restaurant?"

"Oh, really, it was also a whim at the time, and I remembered a poem, so I picked up a pen and left a poem on that painting, and in the end I don't know what happened, what's wrong, did I break that painting, and people chased after me?" Cheng Wu asked. Drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong, hey, it seems that someone is looking for trouble. At that time, it was also a very good painting.

After thinking about it, no, how did the person who had the accident find Cheng Yanjin, otherwise how would he know?

"Haha, it's not enough to break it, it's not too late for him Yan Liben to thank you, how can he blame you, don't you know, now I'm asking everywhere outside, who is the poet of that poem, that painting is even someone selling that painting for a thousand taels of silver, you are a great talent now, and Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Xue Ji and Yu Shinan are known as the top five calligraphers today, haha......" After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he laughed happily.
