Chapter 20: Road 1 (Killing)

After a pillar of incense, Ling Mei followed the master into the Hongyi Pavilion, the Jinling City antique shop Ling Mei has not been to much, but the Hongyi Pavilion is really not big, there is only one shopkeeper behind the counter, and when they saw their master and servant come in, they came forward.

"What do you want to choose, girl? Although our Hongyi Pavilion is not big, it has a lot of genuine and unique books of everyone, I don't know what kind of girl to choose? ”

Ling Mei glanced at the shop behind the master, mostly bookshelves, to the point that there were no antiques that the master said, she frowned slightly, "Is there a private room?" ”

While asking, his eyes have already swept towards the staircase.

The shopkeeper smiled, "I'm really sorry, there is no private room." There's a sitting place behind the screen, and the girl can sit there. ”

Ling Mei wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xie Yuanniang, she had already looked at Hongyi Pavilion for a week, "No visit, let's go sit over there." ”

Most people only know that Hongyi Pavilion is a shop that sells books, but after marrying a wife in her last life, Xie Yuanniang once overheard Gu Tingzhi say that Hongyi Pavilion also sells some high-quality jade to old customers in private, which is the purpose of Xie Yuanniang's visit today.

Although Gu Tingzhi's goods are very scummy, she is also conceited in front of her through a lot of things, so that the reborn Xie Yuanniang picked it up.

Sitting behind the screen, the shopkeeper went to serve tea, there were no outsiders here, Ling Meicai muttered in a low voice, "Girl, there is not even a junior second person running the hall here, there is only one shopkeeper, what good things can there be?" Let's go to Ruyi Zhai. ”

Ruyi Zhai is a place frequented by the noble family, and it is also the largest and most famous calligraphy and painting shop in Jinling City.

Xie Yuanniang was in a good mood and said patiently, "Ruyi Zhai is big, but there is nothing I want from your girl." Although Hongyi Pavilion is small and unnamed, it can be said that the Shoushan stone of the seal is engraved with seals, and the city of Jinling can be bought here. ”

"Shoushan Stone?" Ling Mei didn't understand any of this.

"There are many materials of seals, jade is the most precious, the seal of the Taiyuan Dynasty is mostly carved from the flower milk stone, and the types are different because of different origins, the most famous is Qingtian stone, Shoushan stone, Chang fossil three kinds, of which Shoushan stone is the most precious."

"I'll let you know in a moment." Xie Yuanniang didn't say much.

The shopkeeper went and returned, as soon as the best Biluochun came up, the fragrance of tea was immediately dispersed around, Xie Yuanniang took a sip gently, and the fragrance of tea was between her mouths, and her mood was also better.

She put down the teacup before she spoke, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a piece of Tianhuang." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "This girl, our Hongyi Pavilion only does calligraphy and painting, you want to buy jade, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place." ”

Xie Yuanniang was not in a hurry, and smiled lightly, "Since I can come here, naturally someone I know knows knows me well, and the shopkeeper doesn't have to use this to send me away, I understand the rules, and I won't spread them." ”

Dagongfang is a gathering place for all families, and only calligraphy and painting shops are allowed, as for antiques, these are a bit cheesy in the eyes of literati, except for calligraphy and painting, other objects can only be operated privately.

The shopkeeper's eyelids quickly glanced at Xie Yuanniang, and then lowered his eyelids, "The girl said this, it can be seen that it was also introduced by our old customers of Hongyi Pavilion, but there are also rules in the store, and I have to ask my master about this matter before I can give the girl an answer." ”

Xie Yuanniang picked up the tea again, "Don't worry." ”

The shopkeeper said to wait a moment, then turned and walked out, and after a while he heard the sound of going up the stairs.

Xie Yuanniang is not surprised, there is a second floor but there is no private room, so the second floor is left by the owner for his own use, and he is happy to come today, and he is lucky to meet the owner in the store, so that she doesn't have to bother anymore.

The entrance of the second floor of Hongwen Pavilion is the screen framed by black sandalwood, embroidered with longevity pine, the screen is the middle hall from one side, the middle hall is hung in the middle of the middle of the wall, there is a couplet on the left and right, and in front of the flat headline case is the Eight Immortals Table and two chairs on the left and right.

The shopkeeper went to the east side room, and there was a person standing at the door of the side room, it was Jiang Yi.

Gu Yuan, who was leaning sideways on the soft couch inside, held the book in his hand, looked at it quietly, heard the footsteps and didn't look up, and after a few breaths, he said lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

The voice seems to come out of the abyss! Echoing for a long time!

Jiang Yi said, "Second master, the shopkeeper Wang has something to report. ”

"Say it." Gu Yuan put down the book in his hand, changed his posture again, and his eyes fell lightly on the body of the shopkeeper Wang.

The shopkeeper respectfully reviewed the affairs downstairs, bowed his head and waited for the master's instructions.

Gu Yuanfeng's eyes were slender, and his eyes were faint but unfathomable, "Young lady? ”

The voice of the shopkeeper Wang also became lower and lower, "The only one who knows that there is jade in the shop is the eldest young master in the mansion, and the eldest young master attaches great importance to the number of courtesies, even if it is the family in the clan, he will not leak the secret." ”

So how did the little lady downstairs know that the shop had jade, which makes people wonder.

Gu Yuan casually glanced at Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi retreated softly.

Downstairs, the master and servant were talking.

Ling Mei asked, "Girl, I bought the jade, but what should I do with the seal carving?" ”

She didn't understand what the girl said about the ancient text copying and engraving method, but when she saw the shocked appearance of everyone, she knew that it was a powerful thing.

Xie Yuanniang smiled lightly, "It's better to ask for someone than to ask for it, this matter is naturally my own hands." ”

"The girl knows how to carve that seal? That can also engrave a private seal of the Lan Xiang monk, the girl's painting and the Lan Xiang monk make it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake, if you take it out to buy, it is not a fortune. Lingmei's eyes sparkled.

Xie Yuanniang laughed out loud, "Where is the matter as simple as you say, there are not many paintings by Lan Xiang, Gu Tingzhi can distinguish the differences, naturally there are still people who can distinguish it, today I said that he is a disciple of Lan Xiang, and he is already pulling the banner of the tiger skin, it's okay to be deceived, and then it will be full of people." ”

Mei was greatly disappointed, "Listening to what the girl said, it is not good to be a disciple of Lan Xiang. ”

"Of course, there are benefits."

Ling Mei's eyes lit up again, "What is it?" ”

"It doesn't matter what matters, I'm a fake if it's important, you just have to remember that."

"Isn't that girl afraid that the Lan Xiang monk will come to the door after hearing this?" Ling Mei asked.

Xie Yuanniang said, "What are you afraid of, Lan Xiang Jushi has been hiding his identity, naturally he doesn't want the world to know, how can he show up to look for me, not to mention that Lan Xiang Jushi has not had any more works in the past eight years, maybe he died in which place." ”

The master and servant talked boastfully, but they didn't know that the conversation was overheard.

Jiang Yi turned back after half a cup of tea, "Second master, it's the second girl of the Xie Fu Cheng family." ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Second Miss Xie claims to be a disciple of Lan Xiang Monk to the outside world. ”

"Disciple of the Lan Xiang Monk?" Gu Yuan's gaze fell on the sandalwood rosary in his hand.

Jiang Yi sweated on the corner of his forehead, but he felt that the master's voice sounded faint, but it was actually cold, and he continued to reply, "Miss Xie is not worried about the testimony of the Lan Xiang monk, but she thinks that the Lan Xiang monk died in which place." ”
