Chapter 397: "Novelty" Poetry
Ashikaga was not in a hurry. Yeon-yeon's questioning and rebuke seemed to her to be just a forced composure.
She handed Yeon-yeon a small piece of poetry with a corner of the pavilion in Toei Kyoto, with cherry blossoms dancing. The inconspicuous place on the back is printed with the words "Zhi Xianju".
Yanyan took the poem and glanced at it, brushed her sleeves away!
Ashikaga chuckled sideways. It's normal for the Duchess of Dingguo to react like this! Her unsubstantiated words, Mrs. Chen would not believe it! But it doesn't matter, as long as she contacts Mr. Chen, she will know that what awaits them will be a huge disaster!
It's just a matter of selling war horses privately, selling them to the King of Han - that's a taboo for the emperor!
She didn't believe it, Mrs. Chen could sit back and watch her father's family commit a big crime without saving her!
More than a month later, Ashikaga received a message from Yeon-yeon and asked her to meet privately.
Takeda said nervously: "Miss, don't go!" In case they set a trap and we are now isolated, how can you ask me to explain to the general? β
Ashikaga Silver Tooth made a mistake and said hatefully: "If it weren't for Zheng Yuzhou's troubles and causing me to offend the middle turtle secret, why would I have to work so hard?" My father didn't know how much he hated me at this time, and I ruined my relationship with Daming! She sighed softly, "I didn't expect that Ding Guogong would find out that the painting was a fake so quickly!" I knew this was the case - "She won't change the given Guogong!"
Takeda was also dissatisfied: "Bai Jin claims that the works he copied are no different from the original paintings, and no one can see it!" That's just it! β
Ashikaga waved his hand: "So, I have to get the original work before I can go back to give an explanation to my father and the emperor!" As for practicing Bai Jin, he has his own role! β
Takeda glanced at the shop in front of him: "Lian Bai Jin doesn't seem to want to go back to Dongying!" β
Ashikaga sneered: "This can't help him!" Rolling his eyes, "How did I let you do?" β
Takeda smiled: "Miss, don't worry." β
Bai Jin suddenly felt a chill in his back and shivered!
He touched the placket of his clothes, and the clothes were quite thick, and he didn't catch a cold!
"The owner!" A shopkeeper-like man stood at the door with a smile.
Bai Jin hurriedly put a carved plate on the case upside down.
The shopkeeper sent the account book, and he was in a very good mood: "Owner, our business is very good this month!" Look at our earnings! If it goes on like this, the expansion of the shop is just around the corner! β
Bai Jin looked at the numbers on the book and said curiously: "It's surprisingly good!" β
"It's strange to say.,The major shops seem to be ventilated.,There's no new work lately.,Don't you let us take the lead?"
Bai Jin paused: "The Wenzhai shops on Langfang Fourth Street have all been silent for three months? β
"Yes! You say weird, don't you? Even our people solicit business on the street, they don't care about us! β
"What about Shochikuzhai?"
"Songzhu Zhai didn't move! I haven't seen much of Lian Baitang in the past few months! β
Bai Jin suddenly felt bad: there was something weird!
The major shops were silent at the same time, and Lian Baitang couldn't shrink out, he must be planning something! Maybe it was his good eldest sister who invented a new skill in engraving and taught everyone about it!
Or maybe it's the recent popularity of ukiyo-e that has given them a sense of crisis and a way to think about countermeasures?
After the shopkeeper left, he turned over the half-carved engraving, the half-exposed Dongying woman, sitting under the cherry blossom tree and combing her long hair. The body is soft and the curves are complete! As a type of ukiyo-e, the female body is extremely popular in Toei! But in Daming, Bai Jin frowned, like a picture of the Spring Palace, it is all an unsightly inferior! Although he carved some plates, he never printed them, and he was just a practicer.
Downstairs came a series of young people's laughter. When Bai Jin heard the voice, he knew that it was the two living treasure young masters of Bao Jin Hall! These two boys let Bai Tang cure his lipomeal, and he jumped on the street every day with full energy. I heard that they cooperated with Sang Yuan, from drawing patterns to painting craftsmen's drawings, for the weaver to get a commission, and even participated in the development of the new men's cream in Lanting! Also, they're very experienced!
Bai Jin laughed, and his mood was unexpectedly peaceful and happy.
The two brothers of the Zhu family hooked their shoulders and entered Songzhu Zhai, and when Quan Hong saw them, he couldn't help but purse his lips: "Two young masters, come to find our host?" β
"yes!" Tong Lin smiled sneeringly, "Let's take a look at Baitang!" β
That's weird! Quan Hong slandered, every time they come back, there is no good thing!
The brothers went upstairs, Bai Tang had already heard their voices, and read the book without raising his head: "What strange things did you find for me to look at?" β
Tongguang glanced at Tonglin: "That's a trivial matter, let's come back here, mainly to ask, how is Lanting's cream selling?" β
Bai Tang held the teacup and said leisurely: "It's not bad." β
Lanting is also an old brand! In the past few years, the effect of beard cream and hair dye cream has been wonderful, and there have already been a number of loyal high-end customers. As soon as this cream comes out, the basic plate is absolutely no problem dropping! After a while, when you all feel the benefits of the cream, that's when the sales blow out!
"Then we'll rest assured! After all, our brothers have also contributed a lot to it! "With the light laughing, there is silver to be earned!
"It's just that you've been trying the cream for a while, what did you do to make a difference?" Bai Tang looked at their clean and moist faces angrily, "Take advantage of it and sell well!" β
"Then you underestimate our brothers' abilities!" Tong Lin hurriedly said, "We pointed out that the fragrance in your paste is too strong to be treated by men, the cream is too thin, it is inconvenient for men to use, and the packaging - we have made great efforts in packaging!" We drew all that picture! β
Gotta get it! Bai Tang waved his hand, these two brothers are plasters for dog skin! If it's glued, it can't be ripped off!
"I will personally send the remuneration of the two to Old Madam Zhu to thank you for your contribution to my Lanting, how about it?"
"Don't-" shouted Tongguang, "just give it to us!" Our grandmother has so much to do, we don't have to bother her! β
Tong Lin nodded vigorously: If you let your grandmother know that they have to collect money for Bai Tang to do some small things, it would be strange if you didn't teach them a lesson! It's been a long time since they've enjoyed their grandmother's family law!
"That won't do! You two have worked hard, and I always want to thank the old lady for wishing you! Bai Tang grinned, he can't cure these two guys?
The brothers rolled their eyes: "Alas, this is all a trivial matter, I'll talk about it later!" They were about to leave, and a piece of paper fell from Tonglin's sleeve, and it fell to the ground.
Bai Tang glanced at it: "Something has fallen." β
Tong Lin turned around and looked, his face suddenly changed! Hurriedly pick it up and stuff it into your sleeve! It's too late, Bai Tang is so sharp-eyed, he has seen clearly that this is a piece of poetry, and the painting printed on it is very novel!
"Come back!" Bai Tang's face was blank, Huo Di got up and walked up to them, stretched out his hand, "Give it to me!" β
"No, Bai Tang, Lian Gongzi, Mrs. Xu! We just picked it up by chanceβ"
"yes, yesβ"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Bai Tang's face was a little ugly, and he asked sharply, "Baojin Hall is not far away, do you want me to call your grandmother over?" β
