Chapter Ninety-Five: Invitation
Mrs. Xiao recalled that she was buying jewelry, exactly the same as Xu Xi said, and her eyes were shining when she looked at Xu Xi.
"If the master comes back from buying the raw materials, I can do the design for my wife. The advantage of this design is that it doesn't require as much inspiration as the drawings I gave you, and because it is based on existing raw materials, it is not easy to imitate. If they want to imitate, they have to find the exact same raw materials. Doing so is thankless and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"You're so right." Mrs. Xiao nodded again and again, thinking about the child's pity, she waved her hand generously, "You draw it, and I will still give you a hundred taels of silver for a picture." ”
Xu Xi was taken aback: "No, no, no, this design is not so laborious, you don't need to give me so much." If the jewelry can be sold, you can give me half of the design fee; If you can't sell it, it means that my design has failed, and I naturally have no face to charge you for the design fee. ”
Mama Yun was also speechless when she heard Mrs. Xiao say that. Her girl is really a noble person who has no concept of money, and she doesn't treat money as money at all. If she opens a silver building like this, not to mention making money, it would be good if she didn't lose money.
However, Xu Xi can refuse the silver sent to her hand, which makes her impression of Xu Xi better and better. The little precaution that existed was also gone.
"Miss Xu, my young lady has never done business, and it is the first time to open a silver building. I see that you have some experience in doing business, and I hope you can talk more to my young lady when you are free in the future. She smiled and opened her mouth.
"I don't dare to take it right, it's just a trivial idea, and I don't know if it's right." Xu Xi said modestly, "If there is an old shopkeeper in the master's family, the master can transfer them to take charge of the silver building, even if they were not the shopkeeper of the silver building, it doesn't matter, the principles of buying and selling are the same." ”
"You're right. I'll arrange for someone to come over right away. Mrs. Xiao said, a little embarrassed, "I have never been in contact with housekeeping before, and when I first stretched out my hand, I was completely confused, and I didn't know where to start." Mama Yun was right just now, if you are okay at noon, come and sit down and talk to me. ”
Mrs. Xiao pointed to the table as she spoke, and Xiao Ru hurriedly took a piece of paper on it.
Mrs. Xiao confirmed it and handed it to Xu Xi: "This is my class schedule." As long as I have a class that morning, you can come over. ”
Xu Xi looked at the class schedule written on the paper and found that Mrs. Xiao not only taught them this class, but also had classes in the other three classes. Each class has two classes every ten years, for a total of eight classes in ten days. Probably because the academy took care of her, and the time of each class was arranged in the third or fourth period.
"It's rest time at noon, and the master has some snacks and tea here, so I naturally can't wait to bother. It's just that the master has a hard time in class, and I guess I want to rest for a while after class, so I'm always worried that it will disturb you when I come over directly. If you want to speak, let Miss Xiaoru call me. I'm always fine at noon anyway. ”
Saying that, Xu Xi pointed at Xu Xue again: "If the master doesn't dislike it, I have to bring this little tail when I come over." ”
Mrs. Xiao looked at Xu Xue, who was named by her sister with round eyes and looked confused, she couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The women she has come into contact with for 20 years always like to make seven or eight turns when she speaks, and Xu Xi's outspoken honesty really makes her like it.
Xu Xi stood up: "It's almost time for class, so we'll leave first." ”
Xu Xue also hurriedly stood up. The two saluted Mrs. Xiao and left.
Out of the courtyard, Xu Xue asked, "Sister, how do you know so much?" ”
"When I used to be in the city, I often heard people talk about this, so I listened to it." Xu Xi said nonsense.
Afraid that Xu Xue would ask, she hurriedly gave Xu Xue an education lesson: "The insight into the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is an article." Usually for life, you have to listen and watch more. After a long time, you will find that you can see the problem more thoroughly and think more deeply. Not only is this a great benefit to you, but it is also easier and more truthful to write. ”
The simple and intelligent Xu Xue drinks chicken soup, and the effect is always very significant. She pondered and digested Xu Xi's words, and the more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Sister, I know." ”
Originally, even if Xu Xi gave her an outline, she had nowhere to write. Even if I squeeze something out, I always feel that the dryness is not exciting enough, and the characters in the pen seem even more childish and ridiculous. But Xu Xi pulled it out so little, she suddenly woke up and decided to observe life and improve herself.
In the afternoon, there was a painting class, and the lecture was given by the same Mrs. Zhang I had met during the entrance exam.
Because of Mrs. Xiao's identity as the apprentice of the famous calligraphy master, the system is also looking forward to Mrs. Zhang's identity. took time out of his busy schedule to check the whereabouts of Mrs. Wenpo, and quietly went to check Mrs. Zhang's identity.
When it came back, it reported to Xu Xi: "Host host, this Mrs. Zhang is the granddaughter of Zhang Qisong, a famous painting master of the dynasty. Her painting talent is better than that of her father and several brothers, and it is said that she has a rare aura, which is greatly appreciated by her grandfather Zhang Qisong, and her reputation in Dajin is also quite high. ”
Xu Xi was remembering what Mrs. Zhang said about several pens and paints and other supplies needed for painting, and when he heard the system's words, he was a little puzzled: "Mrs. Xiao is like this, and Mrs. Zhang is also like this, and it seems that she is already the most outstanding woman in their respective fields." Then I'm strange, they all came to our academy, so what is the identity of the master of the Beijing Women's Academy? ”
"I'll take a look."
When Mrs. Zhang finished introducing the tools used in painting and showed her works on the stage, the system came back, and the voice of the report was a little wilting: "Host, the two old gentlemen Qin Zhe and Zhang Qisong teach calligraphy and painting in the Beijing Women's Academy. ”
Seeing that Xu Xi didn't speak, it thought that Xu Xi had been hit like it, and hurriedly comforted: "But Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Zhang are not bad, although their reputation is not as high as their master or grandfather, but the level is not low, and they have done their best to pass on the true inheritance of the teacher." The host can learn eight or nine points of their ability, and it is no worse than the other disciples they have accepted. Even if Zhao Ruyu follows a famous teacher, if he is not talented enough, he will not be able to learn well. ”
Xu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, sniffed twice, and still didn't speak, looking gloomy and bleak.
The system was silent for a while, and suddenly didn't know what it was turning over, and made a sound of "Ding Lingdang".
Xu Xiqiang suppressed the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and had some expectations for the system. She pretended to be pathetic, this guy might be able to come up with something good.
