Chapter 189: Down-and-Out Scholar
"Custom-made? Okay, good! The proprietress stepped forward courteously and welcomed Shen Ruoxiao to the inner hall to sit down.
"I don't know what kind of style do you want to make, Miss?"
After Shen Ruoxiao pondered for a moment, she smiled mysteriously, "Boss, do you have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here?" β
"Yes, yes!" The proprietress nodded, and hurriedly went under the counter to take it out and placed it on the square table next to Shen Ruoxiao, "I don't know what the girl wants this for." β
Shen Ruoxiao smiled silently, she took the pen and paper, buried her head in it, and traced it carefully.
After a while, a sketch was successfully drawn, and after she held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, she made two slight corrections before handing the paper to the proprietress .
"Boss, can you make the style on the sketch I drew?"
The proprietress took the sketch and looked at it, and couldn't help but be slightly startled, and her fingers swiped over the paper.
"This dress is so special, it's not the style we have here!"
Shen Ruoxiao raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, pointed to the place where the shadows of his clothes intersected, and explained: "It is made in a blue and blue style here, and the four words Shen Ji Food Shop are embroidered in the middle." β
The proprietress listened carefully to her explanation, and at the same time carefully recorded every detail of what she said.
At the end, the proprietress looked excited, grabbed Shen Ruoxiao's arm, and trembled slightly.
"Miss, you are so talented, such a design is simple and generous, and easy to put on and take off."
The proprietress looked like she had found a treasure and couldn't put it down on the sketch.
Shen Ruoxiao waved his hand again and again, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he was a little speechless.
This is just the work clothes of ordinary clerks, and it's really embarrassing to be praised like this!
"Where, where, the proprietress only said if she could do it, give me a letter!"
"There are patterns, you can do it," the proprietress nodded again and again, "I don't know who the young lady is going to do it for?" β
Shen Ruoxiao's eyes swept over Yu Bing, Yujie and Houde and Talent, and his white hand was raised high.
"Just follow the shape of the four of them, and make one set for each person!"
Hearing this, the four of them were stunned, but even if Yu Bing reacted, she shook her head again and again.
"Miss, we all have clothes, there's no need to break the bank."
"Where is this called breaking the fee, this is building a brand for my Shen Ji Restaurant!"
Shen Ruoxiao raised her eyebrows arrogantly and looked at the four of them with a wistful expression.
After a while, Shen Ruoxiao took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it into the arms of the proprietress.
"This is the deposit, I'll pick it up in a few days."
After speaking, Shen Ruoxiao was in a good mood and led everyone back to the store together.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the store, I saw four or five long-term workers at the door of her store, carrying tables, chairs and benches.
Seeing Shen Ruoxiao coming, the little guys immediately lined up and bowed.
"Hello Miss Shen, we have sent you kitchenware, tables, chairs and benches according to Craftsman Wang's instructions, please accept it!"
Shen Ruoxiao was overjoyed, she took three steps and walked forward in two steps.
When she looked at it, the corners of her mouth immediately raised, and her eyebrows were slightly excited.
This batch of things is exactly as she expected, and the craftsmanship of this Wang craftsman is really worthy of its reputation!
Shen Ruoxiao nodded with satisfaction, took some broken silver, and distributed it to the little guys.
"I'm tired of everyone, please go back to your life, just say that I am very satisfied, thank you Craftsman Wang."
When the little guy received the big prize, all of them were happy and their attitudes became more respectful.
"More young ladies to reward, your words must be conveyed to you."
After speaking, the little guys left one after another, and Shen Ruoxiao and his party followed to pack up their things.
The tables, chairs and benches were placed according to Shen Ruoxiao's previous plan, and the kitchen utensils were also placed where they should be.
When it was finished, Shen Ruoxiao quietly looked at the shop in front of her, feeling strange in her heart.
I always feel that something is missing, how do I feel that it is not perfect, and I need a little bit to put the finishing touch!
"It's so monotonous, I don't have any intentions!" Shen Ruoxiao stood in the middle, hugged her arms and said slowly.
The beads of her eyes couldn't help but turn back and forth, and she looked back and hooked her finger at Shui Su, "Shui Su, what do you think!" β
Shui Su shook his head, looking helpless, "Miss, Shui Su can't see it." β
At this time, Yu Bing stepped on the long skirt and walked over slowly, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"It's really something missing, why don't we add some calligraphy and paintings? Calligraphy and painting are elegant and meaningful. β
Shen Ruoxiao clapped her hands and nodded heavily, "This idea is good, but this calligraphy and painting, the price of a good one is quite expensive, and the bad one is indeed a little unattainable." β
Hearing this, a picture of a person suddenly flashed in Yu Bing's mind, and her eyes flickered.
"By the way, miss, Yu Bing knows someone here, I've seen his paintings, it's really good."
A scholar who fled with them before knew calligraphy and painting, and that calligraphy and painting were almost the same as everyone's style, and laymen couldn't see it at all.
Shen Ruoxiao was curious, and she asked repeatedly, "Who is it?" How much does it cost? β
After staring at Yu Bing for a long time, Shen Ruoxiao looked at the abrupt center of the hall again.
"It doesn't matter who it is, just look at the past." Fat Cat Literature Network
After all, in this time and space, she doesn't have any friends who are literati.
"A scholar who fled with us before loved to paint, but now he is down." As he spoke, Yu Bing's eyes gradually dimmed.
Shen Ruoxiao immediately became interested, she was a little impatient, and she took Yu Bing's hand and wanted to go out.
"Okay, then take me to meet him, we just need calligraphy and painting."
If it is done early, her Shen Kee Restaurant will also open sooner!
Then, Yu Bing nodded, and took Shen Ruoxiao to the little scholar's residence.
The residence is very remote, in an abandoned old courtyard.
The old yard was overgrown with weeds, dilapidated, and lifeless.
Shen Ruoxiao was a little suspicious, she stopped her steps and looked up at the courtyard in front of her.
"Yu Bing, are you sure that little scholar lives in this place?"
"Hmm!" Yu Bing nodded.
Shen Ruoxiao was speechless, and walked to the gate of the courtyard with a vigilant face,
, Yu Bing hurriedly stepped forward and gently buckled the door, and shouted softly: "Little scholar, are you still there now?" β
The little scholar noticed the movement, originally with vigilance, but as soon as he heard Yu Bing's voice, he gradually relaxed.
A clean voice came from the room, "Is it Yubing?" Come on in! β
At this time, the little scholar hurriedly straightened out his clothes, at least making people look a little more comfortable.
He endured the pain in his leg, limped out of bed, and sat down on the chair next to him.
The door was pushed open, and a dazzling light shone on the little scholar, who couldn't help but cover it with his hand.
Faintly in the light of the sun, he saw two figures.
One is Yu Bing, whom he knows, and the other is very unfamiliar, but his temperament is very noble.
He couldn't help frowning, and his somewhat dry lips pursed with a wary expression.
"Yubing, this ......"
Yu Bing hurriedly stepped forward, pressed the little scholar's arm, and softly comforted, "It's okay, this young lady, she is not a bad person, you don't have to be afraid, we came to buy some calligraphy and paintings from you this time." β
The little scholar listened to Yu Bing's explanation, and gradually calmed down his thoughts.
Shen Ruoxiao smiled slightly, trying to look kind, she looked at the wound on the little scholar's ankle that had melted thickly, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"What's wrong with your injuries? Already thickened? Shen Ruoxiao looked at his wound, her voice mixed with some anxiety.
The little scholar had already let down his guard, he subconsciously shrank his legs and stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture.
"Girl, sit down, the room is shabby, I hope you don't dislike it, the matter of leg injury is a long story." The little scholar looked at his wounds, his eyebrows were clouded, and he was gloomy.
Seeing that the little scholar was no longer on guard, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but have a little good impression of the scholar in front of her.
Only then did he take a serious look at the scholar in front of him, only to see that the scholar was wearing a white robe, the white robe was already washed white, and he was still wearing it, but his clothes were not stained.
He has a very fair face, not the kind that is alluring to the world, but very comfortable to look at.
The little scholar also noticed that Shen Ruoxiao was looking at himself, and couldn't help but look at him slightly.
Shen Ruoxiao was wearing a light green dress at this time, and her long hair was gently restrained with a strip of silk.
Her facial features are very exquisite, every place seems to be the ingenious work of God, she is a fairy above the nine heavens, unstained with the dust of the world.
The little scholar couldn't help but be stunned for a while, but soon, he reacted and quickly shook his head.
After a long sigh, he talked about the pain that he was sad about, "I met a bunch of robbers on the way to escape from the famine with a leg injury, they thought that my baggage was something valuable, but no, although I regarded money as dung, but I regarded painting as life, I was afraid that they would damage my calligraphy and painting, so I desperately resisted, so this is how my wound came." β
Thinking of this, the little scholar also shook his head helplessly.
"I think sometimes you still have to know how to be flexible, painting is dead, people are alive, as long as you live, you can paint as much as you want." Shen Ruoxiao looked at the little scholar in front of her and said seriously.
After saying this, the little scholar suddenly realized, "What the girl said is that she is really ashamed!" β
"I don't know your surname?"
"I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Gu, and my name is Xiuyuan."
Shen Ruoxiao smiled softly, she stepped forward and lifted Gu Xiuyuan's skirt.
"You're going to have to deal with this injury quickly!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed, and he touched the purse on his waist.
"Miss Jean smiled, ashamed to say that she was really shy in her pocket, so she didn't come to Lang Zhong for a long time."
After Shen Ruoxiao let out a long sigh, he took out a bottle of healing medicine from the space with his hand, and just arrived at Gu Xiuyuan's side.
"This medicine can cure your injury, if the son doesn't dislike it, you can try it."
Gu Xiuyuan hurriedly waved his hand, looking embarrassed, "It's so embarrassing, the first time we met, I let the young lady break the bank." β
"You try it first, if you still don't want to go, why don't you show us the calligraphy and paintings?" Shen Ruoxiao said lightly, but her eyes glanced at the package behind the scholar's chair.
Hearing that someone wanted to appreciate his calligraphy and paintings, the little scholar's clean eyes instantly lit up a lot.
"Naturally, you can."
He quickly reached out and took out stacks of scrolls from behind his chair.
