Chapter 17 Planning to open a store
Shu Ruo, who had been lying for two days, was finally approved by Xi'er to sit in the courtyard. Humming a little song, leisurely counting the ants. Yes ants, bored and going crazy.
"Shu Ruo, Shu Ruo, I've come to see you!" The voice of the ten princesses.
"Tenth princess, I don't have any money to earn this time!" If you want to come, don't say hello, you must know that the tenth princess is coming today, and she should ask Xi'er to inform a few young ladies that she can paint a portrait.
The tenth princess handed a bundle of books to Shu Ruo, "I know, I'm not here to paint today, didn't I hear that you are sick?" I'm here to visit you, and I'm not afraid that you'll be bored, so I've brought you a lot of picture books. I think you'll love it. ”
"Thank you!" As he spoke, he opened a book and looked at it, the content of the story was okay, but the painting was not very good. It's still a modern manga that looks good.
looked at the tenth princess looking forward to her opinion, "The content of the story is good, but the painting is a little lacking." It's not as good as my drawing book. ”
"You can also write a drawing book, show it to me." When the princess heard this, she wanted to watch it immediately.
It's embarrassing, I have it, but I'm not here, "Princess, that picture book is in my hometown, I didn't bring it with me." ”
"Okay!" A bit of a loss. "Shu Ruo, where is your hometown?"
Eh, how to say this, blame yourself for being too mouthful, which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned. For a while, Shu Ruo really didn't know how to answer, if you want to say that Guangzhou in the 21st century will be regarded as a monster. can just make up a place name, I'm not familiar with this Tang Kingdom, so I'll help it. I regret it, blame myself for being lazy, and I didn't study the region of Datang properly.
At this time, Leng Yan also came, "Brother Shu, why don't you have a portrait today?" Done with all the drawings? "Leng Yan has not been in Yanjing for the past few days, and he just came back yesterday, and he didn't know that Shu Ruo was sick.
"Brother Jiu, Shu Ruo is sick, and there is no portrait today. I haven't seen you in a few days. ”
Leng Yan looked at Shu Ruo, his face was not as ruddy as before, and he could still see a trace of sickness. "I've been out of the city on errands in the past few days, Brother Shu is out of the way, right?"
Shu Ruo smiled, "It's okay, I'm fine, but Xi'er is not at ease, so she insists on letting me rest for a few more days." I feel like I'm going to get moldy any longer. "This can be regarded as a diversion of the topic of my hometown.
These words made Leng Yan and the Ten Princesses laugh.
"The ninth prince, the tenth princess, you don't know that my brother fainted that day, but it scared me. You have to help me convince my brother that he is tired. "Because Leng Yan and the tenth princess often come and have a lot of contact, Xi'er speaks more casually.
"Shu Ruo, you are tired and sick, then it seems that this palace has to go out of the palace to help you." The Ten Princesses teased.
"Brother Shu, pay attention to the combination of work and rest."
The tenth princess, Leng Yan chatted with Shu Ruona for a while before leaving. Shu Ruo relied on the painting books brought by the tenth princess and spent an afternoon.
"Xi'er, is it porridge for dinner? Can you go to Juxianglou to pack some meals and come back? ”
Xi'er can't cook, she can only cook porridge, and Shu Ruo herself can only eat, not cook. She used to think that how could she be a foodie who could only eat and not cook, and she also worked hard to learn, so she didn't have talent, and in the end it was dark cuisine, so she gave up.
Xi'er may have really been frightened by Shu Ruo's fainting, and she has almost never left Shu Ruo these days. But it's bitter that Shu Ruo these days, either drinking porridge or wonton stew at the mouth of the alley.
"Xi'er, why don't I go to Juxianglou and buy some myself?"
"Xi'er, the baby's heart is bitter ......"
"Xi'er, please spare ......"
When the cold came, I saw this scene. Looking at Shu Ruo's bitter face, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. stepped forward and put a food box on the table in front of Shu Ruo.
"Fourth Prince, why are you here?" Why did he come, did he walk without a sound, strange and scary.
Leng Han didn't speak, moved his chin, and motioned for Shu Ruo to look at the table.
"This is for me?"
Leng Han nodded.
"You're welcome, then." Shu Ruo hurriedly opened the lid, "Eight treasure ducks, jade fat cows, pearl glutinous rice balls, and braised lion heads...... It's my favorite! ”
Saying that, my saliva was about to flow out, and I looked at Leng Han, "How do you know that I am hungry for the food of Juxianglou." "But don't you give any money.
Leng Han didn't speak, just smiled.
Shu Ruo wanted to eat, but he was a little embarrassed when he looked at Leng Han, "The prince is ready to eat, why don't you eat together." ”
Cold, nodded and sat down to eat together.
Shu Ruo sat down with Leng Han, and his careful thinking was achieved, "That fourth prince, this meal is what you want to use, I'm just eating by the way, you can't ask me for silver!" ”
Cold and speechless, this girl thinks about her bit of silver all the time, and this king lacks her bit of silver.
Shu Ruo didn't squeak when he saw Leng Han, he didn't seem to be angry, but in fact, he couldn't tell if he was angry or not, he was always that expressionless face, so he acquiesced. I was happy.
"Xi'er, it's time to eat, there are dishes from Juxianglou!" Shu Ruo, who lacked roots, didn't treat Leng Han as an outsider at all, and just thought about asking Xi'er to eat. But Xi'er understood better than her, and when she saw the cold coming, she walked out.
"No need to scream, I just saw her go out." It's a sensible girl.
Hearing this, Shu Ruo muttered in a low voice: Why did you run out after eating, and I didn't leave it for you, hum......
Leng Han smiled, although he couldn't see anything on his face, he just tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly.
"You're tired and sick this time, do you have any other ideas?"
"Ah, I think about it, I also think it's not okay to paint like this every day, and besides, this is the income during this time, when you choose the princess, you don't need a portrait, I have no business, but I don't know what to do." Shu Ruo's eyes were full of food, but she still said what she thought.
"This king sees that in addition to your portrait paintings, other landscape paintings seem to be good, but I have thought about opening a calligraphy and painting shop by myself, selling some of your own, and collecting some famous works." Said coldly and casually.
Shu Ruo put down his chopsticks and pondered for a while, "Your proposal is good, it seems to be okay." "Hesitation, "But I'm new to Yanjing City, I don't have any connections, I don't understand the market, and I don't have a reputation, it's a little difficult, will it be opened in the end and no one cares?" ”
This Nizi doesn't understand or pretends, who is like her, you can ask the ninth prince and the tenth princess to help paint a portrait, this is not a connection, and there are people who line up here every day, not admiring her. I still have to watch it again, "You can ask Xiao Jiu to help you with famous works, as for choosing a shop, you can go and see it yourself, if you don't understand, you can come to this king." ”
Oh, how did I forget, ready-made resources. Then this can be done. Count the silver in the evening, see how much, have a bottom in your heart, and let Xi'er inform you to start painting in the afternoon tomorrow, and go out in the morning to understand first, the rent or something. I've been here for more than a month, painting every day, and I haven't even gone shopping, and I haven't taken a good look at Yanjing. But how did this masked prince become so easy to talk to, and he actually helped me with advice and changed sex?
Leng Han saw that Shu Ruo didn't say anything, and looked at her expression, knowing that she understood, so he didn't say anything more.
After eating, Leng Han went back. Shu Ruo was waiting for Xi'er to come back and decided to discuss it with Xi'er. Although I know that Xi'er will definitely agree, I feel that we still have to discuss together.
Xi'er didn't come back, Shu Ruo couldn't help but count the silver first, it was almost two thousand taels of silver, and the silver of those young ladies was still very profitable. I have enough money to buy a house, but I plan to open a store, so I shouldn't be able to buy a house for the time being. Buy a house, open a store, and wait for Xi'er to come back and choose!
Broken temple in the west of the city.
"Sister Xi'er, what did you bring me something delicious?" A little bit saw Xi'er coming and ran over.
"Six sons." A woman in tattered clothes scolded.
"Aunt Qin, it's out of the way. I cooked porridge today and brought it to everyone. Brother Zixuan hasn't come back yet? Xi'er looked at everyone and saw that everyone was there, but Lin Zixuan was not there.
"Zixuan went out and hasn't come back yet, Xi'er, it's rare for you to meet a kind person who took you in, don't always come over to help us, if this is discovered, it's not good to hurt you." Aunt Qin said worriedly.
"It's out of the way, my brother is a good person." Xi'er didn't think much about it, and shared the porridge with everyone.
Aunt Qin was still worried, but she didn't say anything more when she saw that Xi'er was inappropriate.
After Xi'er came back, she didn't understand, but she felt that her sister wouldn't be so tired when she opened the store, and she didn't want to see Shu Ruo tired and sick anymore.
Now that he decided to open a store, Shu Ruo also began to make plans.
