Chapter 229: Buying a Horse
When King Huai went to the barracks of the general of Zhenguo, he would definitely not be treated preferentially, and he could not even slack off. Otherwise, General Zhenguo will definitely be merciless.
Liu Chengyan silently pinched a handful of sweat for King Huai, and the Emperor still had a way to govern King Huai.
Chang Le didn't know what was going on, thinking it was just a simple job. What's more, he is Huaiwang, the top boss or Huaiwang's uncle, so isn't he still spending all day drinking in the barracks?
Early the next morning, King Huai went to the barracks to report.
When Chang Le got up, there was no trace of King Huai in the palace, so he could only ask Liu Chengyan to accompany her to the Xuanling Temple. Let Baili kneel in front of the hall for a few hours, and after the spiritual power is enough, he got into the ruby necklace that Chang Le was wearing, and Shili returned to normal.
Speaking of which, this ruby is indeed not ordinary, as soon as Baili entered, he said that it was full of spiritual power, and his spiritual recovery was excellent. This can be regarded as a deception of the baby.
……
"Ah Chang, when did you have such a pendant? How did I not know? Shili woke up and didn't know anything, staring at the necklace around Chang Le's neck with curiosity. This is what she found out when she saw Chang Ledai when she went out this morning.
At this time, they had already arrived at the studio and were about to open their doors for business. Chang Le poured himself a bowl of hot water to dredge his body.
Chang Le crossed his waist and drank a whole bowl, and then said: "This is the bracelet sent by King Huai in order to compensate me." ”
"Take this bracelet?"
Shili's eyes widened and he moved closer. If you look closely at this ruby, the whole is raindrop-shaped but angular, and your face is clearly reflected on it.
"It's worth a lot of money. Our bracelet, no matter how you look at it, is not worth this pendant! ”
"Is it worth it, isn't it a loss?" Chang Le patted Shili on the shoulder and pushed her back, keeping her away from his chest, "Don't look at this, let's hurry up and prepare to open the door." Today is the second day of opening, and we have to show 12 points of enthusiasm! ”
"Now that we have got the fan back and the jade pendant, there are so many blessings at the beginning, and our business must be like a cloud."
Shili said a few auspicious words rarely, and happily went to prepare to open the door.
Chang Le leisurely turned to the counter and said to Wuze who was there: "Wuze, didn't you say it before?" As service staff, we must always keep smiling. You're standing here so wooden, and you're going to scare the guests away. ”
Wu Ze was also embarrassed, standing behind the counter and feeling uncomfortable, feeling that he was standing in the wrong position. Hearing Chang Le say this, he reluctantly laughed, and when he saw Chang Le's face of disgust, he immediately didn't know what to do. Neither is it to laugh, nor is it to not laugh.
"Feel free to do so." Chang Le patiently guided, and he also demonstrated his movements, "The body doesn't need to be so straight, and we are not standing in a military posture." Feel free and relax. ”
Wu Ze did so, and the next moment he straightened up again, frowning and saying, "It's uncomfortable." ”
Chang Le helplessly held his forehead, feeling that the blow of defeat was very big, and waved his hand in a broken jar.
"You feel free, how you feel comfortable. Anyway, you're the only one who can settle the score, what can I do? I don't want to spend money to hire a new accounting office. ”
Although her person left the counter and went to the second floor, the sound fell into Wuze's ears with great propagation. Wu Ze was a little guilty when he was nagged, twisted his brows, tried to pull the corners of his mouth, and loosened his body. But no matter how you try it, it's uncomfortable, and it's getting weirder and weirder.
"Speaking of which, there are still five or six people in such a small inn as Wulin Inn, and we have such a big storefront, is it too few to have only three people. Remove Mo Xiaobei, who doesn't have to work, and we don't lack cooking, and we can do chores together, so there are only three of us...... It doesn't seem like much of a problem......"
Shili carried the clear water, and when he came in from the backyard, he heard Chang Le's chattering back and forth in the store, and when he turned around, he saw Wuze's face tangled, as if he had been hit by some convulsive poison, and he was immediately stunned in place.
"What's wrong with you?" Shili combined the two, "Shouldn't you have a stroke?" So Ah Chang is going to start recruiting? ”
Wuze's face froze for a moment, and immediately returned to normal, took out yesterday's account book, and spread it on the table.
"Nope."
Shili was suspicious, and after snorting, he brought a basin of clean water to the second floor and replaced the water in the pen washing bucket.
Not to mention, business was quite prosperous on the second day of opening. Especially when a group of little boys and brothers came, they went straight to the entertainment room, sat in a row, and started playing.
After chatting for ten miles, I learned that they all heard from the little boy who came yesterday, and that people who can't draw can draw a good picture here, and they came to experience it.
Some of them brought adults, and some of them brought servants. When the child's parents, grandparents, and the like come, they will turn around twice at will if they are interested in calligraphy and painting, and occasionally buy one or two pieces.
When the people outside saw that the business in this store was so lively, they all came in to make up and turn left and right.
Chang Le and the three of them were busy going round and round, greeting each other up and down.
"Let's go, let's go, the pony is coming!"
Suddenly, several arrogant voices sounded, and Chang Le, who was taking the guests to pay at the counter, was attracted to attention. Turning her head, several guards drove the customers in her shop left and right, clearing a path in the middle, and a man in brocade walked in it.
This man is of moderate size, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. A red dress, with gold palindrome on the placket and cuffs, and black boots embroidered with gold silk on his feet. He wears a red hairpin and silver crown, and a red jade belt is tied around his waist, and he is wearing a white jade group.
The facial features are the appearance of an ordinary man, and there is nothing special about it. If you have to say it, it is that this person walks like a tiger and has a fierce face, which makes people look at it and is not a good stubble.
Knowing that this person was a colt, Chang Le felt that the person who came was not good.
"Who's the owner here?" The senior guard next to the colt stepped forward and asked sternly.
Chang Le put away his gaze, pursed his lips, and smiled: "It's me." ”
"Don't you salute when you see a colt?" The man continued to speak arrogantly.
"Chang Le, the owner of the Tianjia Painting Workshop, has seen a horse."
Chang Le said, respectfully making a woman's blessing.
Open the door to do business, pay attention to peace is precious, the enemy does not move, I do not move, you might as well take a look at what the horse on the opposite side wants to do.
"I heard that the owner of the workshop has good painting skills." The horse took a half step forward and spoke, "Today, this horse is here to ask for a painting. ”
Chang Le said: "I don't know what kind of painting it is? ”
The horse stepped forward half a step forward again, stared at Chang Le tightly, and slowly spoke: ""Horse Picture." ”
Chang Le's gaze froze instantly, and he also stared at the colt tightly. This horse is so imposing, and she specifically wants a horse map, she must have known that she mocked his horse figure at the Qixi Festival, and she deliberately retaliated!
"This "Horse Picture", this horse wants to ask the owner to paint it himself." The horse continued, "If the painting is not good, I don't know how this Tianjia Painting Workshop can afford the name of 'the world's first armor'. ”
Obviously, this is a smashing scene.
"The colt said that, but it didn't make sense." Chang Le pushed back without showing weakness, and when he thought of him mixing with Yang Liang and marrying a virtuous person like Princess Shun'an, he felt jealous and annoyed, and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Our Tianjia Painting Workshop sells paintings, what does it have to do with me, the owner of the workshop, whether he can paint?" Does the shopkeeper of a restaurant know how to cook? ”
"You mean, you just don't take over the business of this colt?" Every word of the colt is a threat, "But I think this pony's face is not enough?" ”
Chang Le thought to himself: Isn't it enough? She is the king of Huai in the background, and she dares to pick up the emperor if she upsets her, and she doesn't take your list of horses, what's not to do?
"Sorry, I really can't take it." Chang Le still replied very respectfully.
The horse snorted and said, "This horse is intended to be used for August hunting, and you openly refuse, which is contempt for the emperor." Even if it is King Huai, he doesn't dare to do this, and this horse will ask you one last time, can you or can't? ”
As soon as his words fell, the guards on the left and right drew their swords and stepped forward half a step, as if Chang Le did not agree, so they immediately demolished the shop and killed Chang Le. Chang Le's body leaned back, and he felt that there was also a murderous aura behind him, needless to say, it must be that Wuze had entered a state of preparation.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and the sword light and sword shadow were only for a moment.
The guests on the first floor of the studio fled when they should have escaped, and most of them were still watching the play next to them, but they were also ready to flee at any time. As long as this is the first time to fight, they will definitely run faster than anyone else.
Chang Le stared at the colt for a long time, closed his eyes a little sourly, and took a deep breath by the way. When I raised my eyes again, I was smiling again.
"Since it's business, let's discuss, don't use knives and guns at every turn." Chang Le saw the colt motioning for the guards to take back the knife, so he continued, "It's not that I don't want to take it, it's that my ability is really limited. The colt also said that this painting was to be used for the August hunt, it must be a big scene, and when the time comes, the colt can't blame me. ”
"I believe you will be able to draw a different horse." The horse hooked his lips slightly, smiled disdainfully, "If the owner can't draw it, then it's not the blame for it." ”
This kind of overlord clause is too shameless!
Chang Le cursed the horse viciously in his heart. But obviously, he is here to find fault, whether the painting works in the end or not, whether it looks good or not, it must be unqualified, and there will be a reason for what to do to her at that time. But he also has various reasons to target her now, and he can only take one step at a time.
"Then we'll see then." Chang Le smirked, "However, I have one condition. ”
"Conditions?" The colt raised his eyebrows, as if he was wondering if Chang Le was qualified to negotiate conditions.
Chang Le nodded and said: "Since it is a painting of "Horse Picture", it must be better to look at the real thing, I wonder if I can go to the horse farm to stay for two or three days?" After carefully observing the horses, do you write? ”
Since she was going to paint "Horse Picture", she would draw it first, so as not to really smash her signboard. Regarding horse painting, she also has studied Xu Beihong's horse painting, but because she has never seen a horse, it is difficult to have charm in the concept and imagination of horses.
It just so happened that she might as well take this opportunity to take a good look. Didn't you say that this colt loves horses, and there is a horse farm? The horses in his horse farm must be excellent, right?
