Chapter 219: Strange People

Yang Yuhan looked at the painting and smiled, "The boss's painting skills are good, these three, as well as yesterday's calligraphy and paintings, are all good, but the little woman is a little puzzled, like the boss has such good painting skills, why don't you paint for the word shop?" ”

The bookstall owner shook his head, "The girl laughed, it's okay to set up a stall with these rough calligraphy and paintings, and put them on consignment in the store, no." ”

"I think it's pretty good, it's similar to the paintings in those stores that cost more than ten taels of silver?" It's not that Yang Yuhan compliments the bookstall owner, but his calligraphy and paintings, which are really similar to the cheap paintings in those word stores.

The owner of the bookstall said helplessly, "The girl doesn't know about calligraphy and painting shops, like this, that is, people who are nameless and angry, will not be allowed to sell on consignment in calligraphy and painting shops, and will only charge two or three hundred dollars." ”

"Let's not talk about these pen, ink, paper and inkstone, even if they are framed separately, it will cost 150 Wen, and with the addition of Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop can let us earn 30 Wen."

"Like those who pay 300 yuan, it is definitely the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop who talks about his conscience, otherwise, in addition to the capital, we will be given a maximum of 30 yuan."

"Of course, although the price of the calligraphy and painting shop owner is low, it is the fastest way for the talent who wants to become famous, as long as it is recognized by the customer, then you have the bargaining chips to negotiate consignment with the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop."

"However, for something like this, you have to be extraordinary, otherwise, your paintings won't sell, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop won't accept them again."

"So a lot of calligraphy and paintings like me on the street will not choose to sell them to calligraphy and painting shops."

"I see!" Yang Yuhan nodded, and asked again, "I just heard from the boss that there is still consignment in the calligraphy and painting shop, right, how do you divide this so-called consignment?" ”

Yang Yuhan bought a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and the bookstall owner sat down to chat with her

"Consignment, generally four or six points, calligraphy and painting shop owners six, Xiucai four, but there are also three seven, twenty-eight, one nine, whether it is three seven, or twenty-eight, one nine, it is based on the talent of the painter."

"If you are a painter with good talent, you will take the big head, and if you are poor, you can only take the small head."

"But no matter the big head or the small head, it's better than our stalls, after all, the calligraphy and painting shop, the cheapest, is also ten taels of starting price, even if you take one percent, then you have to earn one or two silver."

"Like those who take nine, they basically start at a price of 100 taels, so they are at least celebrities."

"There are only four or six, the most common, these people are not famous, but their painting skills are absolutely first-class, and the paintings are put out, at least they are easy to sell, but the painters can only take four."

"Then did the boss ever think about opening a calligraphy and painting shop by himself?" Yang Yuhan asked curiously on his face, but in his heart he was digging traps step by step.

The owner of the bookstall smiled and said, "The girl is making fun of it, this calligraphy and painting shop is not something that ordinary people can open, and I earned dozens of taels of silver from the girl, and I can't open it, because a calligraphy and painting shop has at least 10,000 taels of capital." ”

"Yes." Although Yang Yuhan has never opened a calligraphy and painting shop, she also knows that this new shop and old shop does not have a treasure in it, which is nonsense, so she began to ask the questions she wanted to ask

"Presumably, the boss should have lived in Hutong Lane for a long time."

The bookstall owner said honestly, "I grew up in Hutong Lane since I was a child, and I am familiar with Hutong Lane, that is, girl, when you come to this Hutong Lane, it is best not to come alone, because we have this Hutong Lane, and the government can't manage it, so there are all kinds of people." ”

"A girl like you, if you are targeted by someone with bad intentions, it is easy to have a big accident, so the next time you come, girl, it is best to bring someone with you."

Yang Yuhan is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be good, not to mention that she also has her own purpose, so she holds her fists

"Thank you boss for your advice, but I want to ask, why can't this alley even manage the government office?"

The bookstall owner shook his hand, "Girl, in the next family, all the old and young live in this alley, so there are some words, I still hope that the girl will not ask too much detail." ”

Seeing that the owner of the bookstall was silent, Yang Yuhan could only hold his fists, "Boss, I'm sorry, it's the little woman who asked too much, but the little woman still hopes that the boss will tell me what can be said in this alley, just think it's the little woman's curiosity." ”

Hearing Yang Yuhan say this, the bookstall owner did not refuse, but said casually

"It is said that the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, our alley is actually similar to other alleys, and the neighbors who live here are also harmonious."

"Generally, there is a big guy who can take care of one or two, of course, except for some special people, everyone basically knows each other."

Seeing that the owner of the bookstall was really tight-mouthed, Yang Yuhan nodded, "Thank you, boss, I will come to buy paintings in a few days, so I hope the boss can paint a few more paintings in these days." ”

"Of course, the next time I come, I will definitely not come alone."

"The girl still wants to paint?" The bookstall owner was puzzled.

How is his painting skills, he knows that Yang Yuhan is so generous, but why only buy his own paintings?

Looking at the expression of the bookstall owner, Yang Yuhan knew it, so she smiled

"Does the boss think I'm weird?"

"Yes." The bookstall owner didn't deny it.

Yang Yuhan said with a smile, "Don't hide it from the boss, in fact, I came to Fucheng this time, in addition to bringing my younger brothers and sisters over to see, it is the school in our village, and it will start school after the New Year." ”

"When I buy these calligraphy and paintings, in addition to preparing to hang some in the school, I will also give one to each of my masters, which is considered a gift."

"Also, the school in our village is different from the general private school, the school in our village, a single master, you have to invite dozens of them, so your calligraphy and painting are really not enough."

"Dozens of masters?" The bookstall owner's eyes widened.

That's too much, more than the masters of the academy.

"yes." Yang Yuhan shrugged his shoulders with some distress, "But so far, I have only invited seventeen people, if it weren't for the boss's good family background, I would like to ask you to go to our village to be a painter." ”

"The school in our village, in addition to the treatment of the master, will also arrange food and lodging for the master's family, and will also give the master's children free education."

"And the so-called free reading is not only free of constraints, but also pen, ink, paper, inkstone, Confucian clothes, and bookcases, all of which are free, so no matter how far the master is from our village, there is no need to worry about being separated from his family."

"So good?" The bookstall owners were a little excited.

After all, there are many talents in Fucheng, so in this big Fucheng, it is very difficult to sit in charge, otherwise he would not go to the market to sell calligraphy and paintings.

If it is really as Yang Yuhan said, arranging room and board for the master's family and allowing the children to study for free, wouldn't it save even the monthly expenses?

Seeing the heartbeat in the eyes of the owner of the bookshelf, Yang Yuhan said eloquently

"Of course, the purpose of our village school is to eradicate illiteracy, so that the children in the village can use knowledge to farm and work with skills in the future."

Although what Yang Yuhan said is a bit fantastical, but Yang Yuhan said that the treatment of the master, the bookstall owner is really excited, so he is a philistine

"Girl, what are your rituals for your master?"

Yang Yuhan stretched out three fingers, "Three taels of silver a month, however, since our village gives such a good treatment, then the character must be passed, so if the boss wants to go, you have to think about it carefully, otherwise, once the character is found by the good hall of our village, you will be dismissed directly." ”

Hearing the character problem, the bookstall owner immediately assured, "This character problem, girl, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem in the next place, but I don't want to sell this house, so I want to ask the girl, do you have any holidays throughout the year?" ”

"Of course there is, there is a school in our village, the farm holiday is two months in May and June, called the summer vacation, as for the clothing leave, no, but there is a winter vacation, that is, December 15 to the sixteenth of the first month, and there is the ten month vacation, that is, the rest of the day, we take it is: Tuyao Day and Sun Yao Day, that is, each seven Yao, two days off."

(Note: Qiyao is the week, Tuyao is Saturday, and the sunrise is Sunday)

"It's too much of a vacation, isn't it?" The bookstall owner asked.

Yang Yuhan shrugged, "Except for the mid-year holiday, the others are almost the same, but the time is different." ”

"Even then, it's too much!" The bookstall owner still feels that it is a little more, and he takes two days off for seven days, not only twenty days a month.

"Our village is considered according to all aspects, so a little more holiday is also for the villagers." Yang Yuhan is nonsense, she won't say that this is based on the school in her previous life.

"Okay!" The bookstall owner didn't continue the topic, but asked Yang Yuhan, "Girl, do you want to go to your village to be a master?" ”

"Yes!" Yang Yuhan nodded, "As long as your character is okay and you don't resign, our Shantang will basically not dismiss you, but there are exceptions, so I can't give you an absolute guarantee." ”

"This is clear below!" Since the bookstall owner can sell calligraphy and paintings, he is definitely not a pedantic person, "That girl, when can I go with you next?" ”

Yang Yuhan nodded, "It's okay now, it's okay in a few days, in short, I haven't left Fucheng in the past few days, if you are willing to go with me, then pack up your things and go to Yunfu Inn." ”

"Of course, if you know anyone who is willing to teach arithmetic, medicine, or martial arts, you can introduce them to me, and I will take them with me when the time comes."

Speaking of which, Yang Yuhan still wants to ask the owner of the bookstall who has the ability.

"Speaking of which, I really know each other in Xia, it's in our alley, if the girl wants, I can introduce them to you, it's just ......."

Speaking of this, the bookstall owner hesitated and lowered his voice

"Girl, in fact, our Hutong Lane was not like this before, it was twenty years ago, a few strange people came, they are not only good at martial arts, but also fierce, it is said that they were born as killers in the past, and then because their boss was killed, so they fled to us."

"But what the truth is, we don't know, but since they came, our place has changed, we are no longer here like before, just a poor alley, we have become an alley that the yamen dare not take care of under their confrontation with the yamen several times."

"And just because of their arrival, there have been many assassinations in our alley, and of course, in the end, those who assassinated died."

"In this way, some people who are roosters and dogs are thieves, under the protection of this alley, they will be lawless, and all the living people who come into this alley alone, as long as they see it, the men will rob and the women will sell."

"And those weirdos, basically turn a blind eye, as long as the person who has an accident doesn't go to them, they don't care."

"As for us residents, it's safe, because those who are roosters and dogs don't dare to take risks, after all, this place is protected by those few weirdos, and if they annoy those weirdos, maybe they will be driven out."

"If I introduce people to you, I wonder if they will get angry and kill us?"

Yang Yuhan raised his eyebrows, "Then do you know, what are their names?" ”

Hearing that Yang Yuhan's focus was different, the bookstall owner frowned and said, "Girl, why are you asking this?" ”

Yang Yuhan smiled, "It's nothing, it's just curiosity." ”

Bookstall Owner: "Oh! He spoke, then lowered his voice again

"Girl, they live in the flower house in the middle of the alley, so when you pass the flower house in the future, you must hurry up, otherwise once they get angry, no one will be able to bear it."

"Okay." Yang Yuhan nodded on his face, but he was brewing in his heart, how to have a showdown with others at night.

A good word not only did not reassure the bookstall owner, but also updated and worried about his subordinates

"The girl is really no joke."

Yang Yuhan smiled, "I know, but boss, what do you call it?" I was afraid that the bookstall owner would continue the topic, so I asked first.

"Under the surname Chu, a single name is a wind character." The bookstall owner, that is, Chu Feng, replied casually, and after replying, he said to Yang Yuhan again

"I don't know what to call a girl?"

Yang Yuhan said "um", "Yang Yuhan, Boss Chu can call me Miss Yang." ”

"Okay Miss Yang." The bookstall owner immediately changed his tune.

got what she wanted, Yang Yuhan thought about saying goodbye, so she said with a smile

"Boss Chu, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

When leaving, she didn't forget to remind, "I still say the same thing, if you want to go to our village to teach, go to Yunfu Inn to find me, but it's best to look for me at night, because it's very busy during the day." ”

"Good!" Chu Feng responded respectfully, and then left Yang Yuhan.

Leaving Chu Feng's house, Yang Yuhan went to the gate of Huafu and turned around.

At night

After Yang Yuhan came back from Hehuan Building, he changed into night clothes.

In the dead of night, Yang Yuhan wore a night walk and ran quickly on the street.

When I arrived at Huafu, I climbed over the wall.

Although her aura was well hidden, the moment she stepped into the wall, she was discovered.

I saw the man standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking at Yang Yuhan who had climbed over the wall, and sneered

"I didn't expect that twenty years have passed, and that person still has to be killed?"

"Who's that man?" Yang Yuhan, who had already been discovered, simply walked over directly.

"Who is that person, Your Excellency is not more fake than me." The man in the courtyard replied coldly.
