When he left Li Ji's mansion, Tang Zhou's face was very bad, and he suddenly found that in front of Li Ji, an old fox, he was not an opponent at all, and under his persuasion in a few words, he agreed to his request in a daze. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's terrible to think about it, Li Shimin is eloquent, and he is not an official in charge of this aspect in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and he is not a person from Yushitai, so he went to persuade Li Shimin not to send troops and not to fight, does it work?

Tang Zhou couldn't help but sigh, but he thought that even if there was a war, it wouldn't be this year, so Tang Zhou comforted himself in his heart, in half a year, everything could happen, maybe it wouldn't be long before Li Shimin himself would change his mind.

Thinking like this, Tang Zhou was also relieved.

But when he returned to the mansion, he suddenly found that there were several carriages in front of his mansion, these carriages were very luxurious, and from the style of the carriages, they looked like the carriages of some powerful people and families in Chang'an City.

Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, how could there be a carriage of magnates and families in front of his mansion, thinking in his heart, Tang Zhou did not dare to enter the mansion at will, but secretly went around to the back and sneaked in from behind, and after entering, he called Xia Fan first.

"What's going on, who are they?"

Xia Fan was very happy and said, "Little Marquis, those are all famous magnates and families in Chang'an City, and they all came to ask Little Marquis to paint." ”

Tang Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Painting? ”

"yes."

Tang Zhou touched his chin, he did show his hand in Jiangnan Pavilion in Fireworks Lane before, but he just added a few strokes to Lian Hongyao's painting, and after that incident, no one said to ask him for painting, so these people definitely didn't come to ask him for painting.

In this way, it must be because he painted the characters he painted for Lian Hongyao and Mu Qing, but how could the paintings he painted for them be known by these people?

Tang Zhou thought about it, his heart sank, when Lian Hongyao expressed his love to him, he didn't know enough about Lian Hongyao, so he gave it to a perfunctory past, and Lian Hongyao didn't dwell too much, at that time he thought that Lian Hongyao had figured it out, but now it seems that he has clearly fallen into the game set up by Lian Hongyao and Mu Qing.

If this matter spreads, it is a trivial matter for many people to ask for a painting from themselves, but it is not good for people to misunderstand that they painted such a picture for Lian Hongyao.

Tang Zhou was silent in thought, Xia Fan was a little puzzled when he saw this, and asked tentatively: "Little Hou Ye, have you seen those people?" ”

Tang Zhou raised his head slightly and said, "See, naturally I want to see." ”

Xia Fan smiled, and then hurriedly ran to make arrangements.

After Tang Zhou saw those people in the living room, these people immediately surrounded Tang Zhou.

"Little Hou Ye, the painting you painted for Lian Hongyao is really good-looking, I came here to ask for a painting, as long as you are willing to paint, the price is not a problem."

"That's right, as long as you are willing to paint, I can afford the price."

“…………”

These people are not short of money, so they are also very generous in front of Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou saw this, and immediately smiled: "Don't hide it, I painted Lian Hongyao only because I received a painting from her at the beginning, and I painted a picture for her in exchange, you want it, this price is not cheap." ”

"The price is easy to say, little marquis, you can make a price." Everyone didn't care about Tang Zhou's previous sentence, but focused on the latter sentence, Tang Zhou saw this, smiled a little helplessly, and said, "Ten thousand." ”

As soon as Tang Zhou's words came out, everyone present took a breath of cold air, 10,000 guan, this is not a small amount, since they glanced at each other, they thought to themselves Tang Zhou, you are really ruthless, the lion opened his mouth, and one mouth is 10,000 guan.

However, after a few people thought about it like this, they immediately laughed again: "Little Hou Ye, although the price is not a problem, is it too high for you to do this, let's do it less." ”

Tang Zhou glanced at a few people and said, "Okay, then five thousand." ”

"It's still a bit much, can the little marquis have more?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhou was a little displeased, and said: "It takes Ben Hou a day to paint a painting, and Ben Hou earns a lot more money than five thousand yuan a day to study a few dishes, and you are still not satisfied." ”

Several people looked embarrassed, although they felt that Tang Zhou's portrait was very special and similar, but they really didn't want to spend so much money to buy such a painting, and just when they were embarrassed by what they said before, Tang Zhou smiled and said: "That's it, you are all from my Tang Dynasty powerful family, I look at a few faces, it's cheaper, two thousand runs, no less, you think, such a painting is left to future generations after it is finished, so that future generations can know what their predecessors look like, how good, Two thousand is definitely worth it. ”

At this time, Tang Zhou bargained with these people, and also promoted them, which did not mean anything like painting at all, as if he was originally a person who made money by painting.

And these people heard Tang Zhou's words, thought about it again, and felt that what Tang Zhou said was also right, it was definitely worth it to buy such a self-portrait for future generations, they are all powerful families, in their concepts, the descendants of these people must also be officials, and when they see their portraits, they will be shocked.

"What the little marquis said makes sense, since that's the case, then we will accept this price, I don't know who the little marquis will paint for the first day?"

Tang Zhou counted it and found that there were ten people in total, he calculated slightly, and said: "Everyone pays a thousand guan for each of you first, I will draw a sketch for everyone first, and after I color you, you can bring the remaining one thousand, of course, according to the speed of my coloring, it may be one a day, and whoever paints it first, I will send someone to the house to inform." ”

After listening to Tang Zhou's words, these people did not question Tang Zhou's words of painting a picture a day, so they hurriedly sent someone to the house to bring a thousand yuan of money, and Tang Zhou sketched a picture of these people in the order of who brought the money first, so that by the afternoon, he had already finished painting these people.

These people only looked at the sketches drawn by Tang Zhou, and they felt very excited, so they felt that the two thousand yuan was not spent in vain, and when they left, Tang Zhou smiled at them again: "You are all people with heads and faces in my Chang'an City, if anyone still wants to self-portraits, you can introduce them to Ben Hou, the price is naturally still this price, and if you introduce more, I will paint a picture for your wife at half price, how about it?" ”

Tang Zhou's tone was clearly like a man selling paintings, these powerful people and families inevitably felt that Tang Zhou was too worldly, but when they heard that they would paint a painting for their wife at half price, they immediately agreed.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the little marquis's business, we should take care of it, and we will definitely help, right?"

"Yes, yes, help, definitely help."
