Chapter 5: The Feast of the Hung Gate

Mr. Wen Duan is about seven feet tall, which is not tall in later generations, but in today's era, he can be regarded as a healthy figure.

The old man is now wearing a navy blue wide-sleeved dark pattern robe, because he is at home, there is no belt around his waist, and he looks quite calm and casual.

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Mr. Wen Duan first glanced back at him in some surprise, then slowly stood up, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the warehouse, and said with a kind smile: "It turns out that Chu Lang is also a fellow believer and knows about Danqing. ”

"Don't dare, just know a little bit about it." In this elegant era, Chu Feng did not dare to brag about himself.

Mr. Wen Duan led Chu Feng into the warehouse, where there were two cabinets of the same height and wide arms, both of which were seven floors, with some calligraphy and painting scrolls on them, as well as some fan surfaces, sketches and other things.

The sunlight shone obliquely from a small window, shining clearly on the floating dust in the warehouse, with some warm taste.

"I'm in a hurry to have the golden landscape, well, probably here." Mr. Wen Duan slowly rummaged around, not in a hurry, and asked, "Do you want auspicious?" Nanshan Turquoise, or what? ”

Chu Feng said: "There is a fan of a fan outside, and the guest said that the fan is very good." ”

"I see." Mr. Wen Duan answered, and unfolded the several scrolls that were turned out one by one to see.

After all, Chu Feng is a guest, so it is not good to directly get started and help rummag. Just standing behind and watching Mr. Wen Duan's rummaging, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

This Mr. Wen Duan is really too casual, not only is the operation of the calligraphy and painting shop casual, but even these things in the warehouse are placed in a disorderly manner. The subject matter of the painting is not distinguished, and the ligatures and paintings are mixed together, and it is very difficult to find them.

After searching for half a pillar of incense, Mr. Wen Duan finally picked out two golden landscapes, put them on the willow table next to him and unfolded them, and asked, "Which one do you want to see him?" Or do you want to show him all of them? ”

Chu Feng took a step forward to take a closer look, these two golden landscapes, there is not much difference in the height of the brushwork, and one of the foothills stretches out in a vast and vast trend, which is close to small freehand. The other is to choose a mountain peak to depict in detail, the top of the mountain empty pavilion, strange rocks, the weather is very luxurious.

After thinking about it slightly, Chu Feng said: "If the estimate is good, that guest should like this painting." But according to the kid, let's take out these two pieces and let that Lang Jun choose them himself. I wonder what Mr. Wen Duan thinks? ”

Mr. Wen Duan smiled: "It's up to you." ”

Chu Feng stepped forward to roll up the two paintings one by one, and asked, "Sir, if that Lang Jun wants to buy it, what price should he ask?" ”

"Uh......" As soon as money was mentioned, Lu Wenduan became a source of water, and he couldn't figure it out.

Chu Feng looked funny, he only felt that this old man's temperament was really cute, how could such a character start a business?

"Sir, how much did you buy this painting, do you remember?" Chu Feng mentioned it on the side.

Lu Wenduan blinked: "The one with the gongbi seems to be around eight hundred yuan, and as for the other one, the old man can't remember it clearly." ”

Chu Feng nodded when he heard this, and he had a plan in his heart, so he smiled and said, "The kid knows." With that, he bowed slightly, turned around and went out with two paintings in his hands.

"This guest officer has been waiting for a long time, and he is fortunate not to be dishonored."

Chu Feng walked out of the inner door and smiled slightly.

……

……

After nightfall, the unbearable smell of early spring in Jiangnan is unhurriedly released from the wet soil.

The damp air floats in the night, spreading into the whole world in a trance, even if you just take a slight breath, you will feel that the clammy and cold air directly hits the mouth and nose, and soaks into the heart and spleen.

The oil lamps swayed in the wind, dim and indistinct.

Chu Feng stepped forward and closed the window tightly, and the oil lamp rested quietly, and the room also lit up.

Lu Wenduan looked at the back of Chu Feng closing the window, thinking that this child's every move was not like an ordinary peasant doll, and his conversation and behavior were also very good, especially the pair of hands, which looked like they had been holding the pen for a long time, and they were definitely from the Shili clan. It's just that how could such a young man faint in a place like outside Hangzhou, and after waking up, he didn't look for his clansmen?

"Ah Lang, the meal is ready, can you use it now?"

Lao Zhang came to the door and asked, rubbing his hands on the placket of his clothes.

"Bring it up. Chu Lang's share is also brought to me, Lao Zhang, so is yours, let's talk together, and it will be lively. Lu Wenduan commanded.

Lao Zhang was used to being obedient, so naturally he would not have any objections, so he answered and went to pick up the arrangements.

Chu Feng could probably guess what the old gentleman was going to talk about with him, and his heart hung slightly, but he felt a little stunned. He can't lie to someone who saved him with good intentions. But if he told the truth, it was impossible for the other party to understand, what should he Chu Feng do?

"Chu Lang, come and take a seat."

Lu Wenduan sat down on a poplar fold-back rose chair first, and then pointed to the position of his lower left hand, motioning for Chu Feng to come and sit down.

Chu Feng couldn't shirk it, so he also sat down, but his mind couldn't help but be slightly turbulent.

If the old man drives himself away, this is actually a very normal thing. After all, when they meet in Pingshui, it is already a great kindness for the other party to save themselves, how can they continue to support themselves......

The oil lamp was faintly bright, and an oil flower burst with a pop.

Lao Zhang served three dishes and one soup one by one, a plate of Shi Qing, a plate of fried meat with spring bamboo shoots, and a plate of fried clams bought from outside.

Lu Wenduan didn't say much, he moved his chopsticks first, Chu Feng bowed slightly at Lao Zhang, who was sitting at the bottom, and he ate quietly.

He has already eaten seven or eight meals here, all of which are cooked by Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang's cooking skills are not good, but they are not bad. The most important thing is that the dishes he makes have a homely warmth, which Chu Feng can rarely experience.

In the past, Chu Feng always cooked some simple meals by himself after school. I ate in the school cafeteria at noon, and I was alone at night, with a lonely lamp, although it was silent, but it was also bleak in the end. Although he doesn't like to be lively, he will always get tired of being alone.

At that time, I still had a teacher as my occasional companion. Now that he has been born in this Xuanhe year, if he is kicked out like this, although the world is big, how he wants to make a living is still a matter that needs to be carefully considered.

Although the eldest husband can bend and stretch, Chu Feng quietly ate the rice in the bowl, thinking about the kindness of the two people in front of him, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but think, I'm afraid someone like Mr. Wen Duan is embarrassed to say about leaving, so do you need to bring it up yourself?

"Lao Zhang said that the golden landscape was sold for 1,200 yuan?"

Just when Chu Feng was groaning, Lu Wenduan was the first to speak, but he said something else.

Chu Feng was slightly stunned, then nodded, and responded with a smile.

Lu Wenduan picked up a piece of spring bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, exclaiming: "I made 400 wen as soon as I turned my hand, tsk, it's really a good business!" ”

Lao Zhang also smiled on the side: "Yes, yes, the old slave sold his paintings for two days, and there was a painting of similar size before, which was only sold for four hundred and fifty wen, which is not as much as Chu Langjun's net profit!" ”

The people of the Song Dynasty were in awe of people who could write and paint, and after experiencing today's events, Lao Zhang's sense of Chu Feng was immediately different, and even the title was changed from the previous "little brother" to "Lang Jun", which was equivalent to admitting Chu Feng's status as higher than his own.

Chu Feng hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, don't say that, whether things like calligraphy and painting are expensive or not, it doesn't matter how big or small." Besides, I just happened to have it today, just luck. ”

"If it weren't for Chu Langjun, that Langjun would have turned around and left a long time ago, where would he buy any paintings!" Lao Zhang smiled and sandwiched a piece of meat from the winter bamboo shoots for Chu Feng, "Chu Langjun is a hero!" ”

"It's a hero!" Lu Wenduan also smiled, "Lao Zhang, go to Zhujia Restaurant tomorrow to book a table of banquets, and come back to celebrate." ”

If you make 400 yuan, you want to celebrate? Chu Feng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and besides, the subtext in Mr. Wen Duan's words was to let himself live here until tomorrow......

"I didn't do anything, just that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and it didn't deserve any celebration. A table of banquets is too expensive, and Mr. Wen Duan still doesn't want to waste money like this. Chu Feng hurriedly persuaded him, and after saying that, he felt that what he said in the last sentence was a bit arrogant, and hurriedly added, "I didn't mean to point fingers at Mr. Wen Duan, but, I just felt ......."

When Lu Wenduan saw Chu Feng's embarrassed appearance for the first time, he couldn't help but smile, pointed at him and said, "Lao Zhang, look, it's good everywhere in this future life, but why are you so careful between actions?" Young people can't become talented if they don't have a little madness! ”

"That's it! It is! Lao Zhang also smiled and agreed, "A table of banquets is only more than 100 yuan, just with the net money earned by Brother Chu, we can eat four banquets!" ”

Chu Feng blinked when he heard this, thinking that he had moved his mouth, and he had transferred the money for four banquets, and sure enough, making money in business was much faster than being a tutor before......

Lu Wenduan laughed and teased Chu Feng a few words, and then the conversation turned to some gossip, who is delicious in Hangzhou City, whose rice wine is the most fragrant, where the stone bridge was smashed by someone, what is happening in the West Market today, etc., and so on.

Chu Feng only listened quietly, occasionally smiling.

Although it was just a simple meal in front of him, there was the warmth of family floating in the surrounding atmosphere, and Chu Feng felt warm in his heart. It's just that this kind of warmth doesn't belong to you after all......

After a short time, the three of them were already full, Lao Zhang took the lead in getting up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Chu Feng also hurriedly helped to pick them up.

"Chu Langjun don't have to do such miscellaneous things, this is what our subordinates do, where can you people do it!" Lao Zhang's big hands pressed Chu Feng's shoulders and pressed him firmly on the chair, unable to move.

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "The hot tea brewed in the kitchen, the old slave will bring it over, and you will talk slowly." ”

After that, Lao Zhang picked up the dishes and chopsticks and went away.

Only Lu Wenduan and Chu Feng were left in the house, and Chu Feng thought to himself, this time, the main event should come.
