The two sisters and brothers knew that Jinyang Palace was crowded and it was not appropriate to stay longer, so they left the "Ginkgo Biloba Ancient Tree Map of Chu Palace" painted by Lin Ying, hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Huan and Li Su, and left King Chen's Palace.

Lin Huan looked at the backs of the two leaving, and couldn't help but pull his daughter to wipe away her tears: "Pity your little cousin!" was originally a lord of Chu State, and he should have enjoyed endless glory and wealth, but he left Chu State at such a young age, crossed mountains and mountains to take refuge in Chen State, and could only make a living by selling paintings, and still wanted to do business to supplement his family at a young age...... My hard-working cousin is also the grandson of King Chuchang, and after I became King Chen, he could only live on the streets......"

After coming out of Jinyang Palace, Lin Ying asked Shu'er: "Why didn't Sister Shu'er let me ask more?" If Queen Chen can open a few good words for our Linjiang Restaurant, maybe my mother and Aunt Yan's business will be better! ”

Shu'er said: "When we came out to do the spice business, we discussed it with our aunts in advance, and we must not compensate Linjiang Restaurant, so our spice business cannot have anything to do with the restaurant." What's more, after the dignified King Chen, since marrying into the Chen Kingdom, he has never even left the gate of Jinyang Palace, how can he have been to our restaurant? How can she praise her? ”

Lin Ying said: "But our restaurant is 'Linjiang Restaurant Branch', cousin she is from Chu, who in Chu doesn't know the reputation of Linjiang Restaurant?" ”

Shu'er said: "Even if she liked the dishes of Linjiang Restaurant very much when she was in Chu Kingdom, how could she, as the dignified princess of Chu State and the dignified Queen of Chen, often haunt the restaurant and tea shop?" But Biliang condensing incense is different, it is a very rare spice of Shu, and it is also used by the Shu royal family. ”

Lin Ying felt that Shu'er made sense, and said with a smile: "Sister Shu'er is the smartest and the most thoughtful!" ”

Shu'er waved her hand and said indifferently: "I'll go back to the restaurant first to help the foolish shopkeeper settle the accounts, and then you can sell your paintings!" In a few days, when the queen speaks, we will have to be busy with the spice business, and I am afraid you will not have time to sell paintings. ”

Lin Ying said goodbye to Shu'er, returned to the position where he usually sells calligraphy and paintings upstairs in the old city, put the calligraphy and paintings in place, sat quietly, watched the people coming and going on the upper floor of the old city, and wondered if one day he could sell paintings in Linjiang, and I don't know if it would sell better than in Fanjing.

Lin Ying was thinking blankly, and suddenly three eighteen or nineteen-year-old tall teenagers walked up, dressed brightly and brightly, with oily hair and powdered faces, one took a folding fan, on which a few bamboos were painted crookedly, one took a long sword, and there was a cheap jade bamboo knot hanging on the long sword, and the other took nothing, and a bamboo leaf-shaped jade pendant hung down from his waist, but the green color was not good, as if it had been dyed with paint.

Lin Ying looked at their exaggerated and ridiculous posture, and couldn't help but smile in her eyes, feeling that how could there be such a vulgar person in the world, it really ruined the purity and nobility of bamboo.

The young man waving the folding fan caught a glimpse of Lin Ying, who had a delicate face but was thin and short, and immediately walked over with bad intentions, looked at Lin Ying's calligraphy and paintings casually, and turned back to the other two teenagers and said, "Second brother, third brother, come and see, how are these words written?" ”

The other two teenagers swaggered over and said, "That's it!" It is estimated that this kid used it to practice calligraphy. This bamboo forest is well drawn, but unfortunately the four words 'Xiling Mozhu' on it are not written strongly. ”

The person with a bamboo leaf hanging on his waist said: "Although this character is ordinary, the bamboo painting is okay." We have three less bamboo forests, and we should buy a bamboo map. ”

Lin Ying really couldn't stand the rude appearance of these three people, and didn't greet them, so she continued to look at the old city tower where people came and went.

The man with the sword asked, "Child, how do you sell this bamboo picture?" ”

Lin Ying said: "Three taels of silver." ”

The one with the sword was surprised: "What? Three taels of silver? Who drew this bamboo drawing? Who mentioned the word? ”

Lin Ying said helplessly: "The painting is made by me, and the words are written by me." Three taels of silver, non-negotiable. ”

The one who took the folding fan put away the fan, slapped the fan on the table hard, and said loudly: "Child, don't look at your white and innocent face, you can deceive and ask for a price!" You're only thirteen or fourteen years old, how can you draw something like that? To tell you, although our three young people in the bamboo forest have just arrived in Fanjing, they are not easy to deceive. ”

Lin Ying was surrounded by three people, and her heart suddenly became scared. He couldn't help but bow his head and think, "It would be nice if Sister Shu'er was here." ”

The old man who sold calligraphy and paintings next to him came over to relieve the siege and said: "The three young people in the bamboo forest, please calm your anger, the old man can testify that these calligraphy and paintings are indeed from the hands of this child." A few days ago, someone bought one of his 'Linjiang willow pictures' for a tael of gold, and everyone who sells calligraphy and paintings on the upper floor of our old city knows it. ”

The one with the sword pushed the old man away, and the old man fell down with an "oops". The one with the sword put the sword on Lin Ying's neck and asked, "At most one or two, do you sell it or not?" ”

Lin Ying was not afraid, and said word by word: "Three taels are sold." ”

The one with the sword was about to get angry, when Lin Ying suddenly heard a clear voice behind the third young man of Zhulin and said, "I'll give five taels." ”

The three young men of the bamboo forest brushed back and looked back, only to see a tall young man who was also eighteen or nineteen years old bending down to help the old man who was pushed down by them.

Lin Ying saw that the new brother was wearing a fresh-water ink gray Chu country wide-sleeved robe, and he was also a Chu countryman, so she felt a little more steady.

The one with bamboo leaves on his waist pointed to the young man of Chu and said, "Go and go, rude people, dare to grab things from our three young men in the bamboo forest?" ”

The young man of Chu State looked down at the red fox with a big tail beside him, and said to the fox suspiciously: "Little fox, have you heard of the 'Three Youths of the Bamboo Forest'?" ”

The red fox, with its shiny fur and shrewd eyes, seemed to understand human language, and squeaked, like a contemptuous laugh, glanced up at the "Three Young Bamboo Forest", and then lost interest in them, and looked around boredly.

The man with bamboo leaves on his waist glanced at the fox and said to the young man of Chu State: "Where did you come from with a beast with no eyes and no beads?" Just as he was about to kick the fox, the fox suddenly jumped up, stretched out his claws and stole the bamboo leaf-shaped jade pendant hanging from his waist, turned around quickly, and handed the jade pendant to the young man of Chu State.

The young man of Chu played with the bamboo leaf-shaped jade pendant and said, "Whoever holds the sword, you put down the sword first, and I will return this cheap jade pendant to you." ”

Without waiting for the sword's answer, the one with the folding fan reopened the folding fan, waved the fan and said, "Seeing that you are not from Chen Guoren, we don't care about you." The names of our three young people in the bamboo forest, everyone in Chen Guo knows and no one knows, you provoke us, it's no good, don't hurry up and return my second brother's jade pendant to him! ”

The young man of Chu State ignored the person who took the folding fan, lowered his head and said to the fox: "Little fox, let's look at his broken fan." He immediately pointed to the folding fan with bamboo on it.

The fox quickly pulled the folding fan to the ground with his paws, and the young man of Chu State took a few steps closer, looked down at the fan, and asked, "Brother folding fan, didn't you draw these bamboos?" It's so ugly that you can't even look at a beast. ”

Although Lin Ying had a sword on her neck, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
