Chapter 035: The Study
Huaimo study is the largest study in Yangzhou city, in addition to selling books, paintings, reading with pen, ink, paper and inkstone can be bought here, when you are lucky, you can also get some good goods here.
Jinnian and Su Jinxiu got out of the car in front of the study, and a person dressed as a little scholar stepped forward to introduce them attentively, "What do you want to buy for the two young ladies, please inside!" ”
"We want to see the pen and ink." Jin Nian said and walked inside.
Su Jinxiu suddenly said "Huh", she said with some joy, "Isn't that the little guy next to Fourth Brother Gu, is Fourth Brother Gu also here?" ”
Jin Nian's footsteps faltered, she was slightly annoyed in her heart, and said secretly: You won't be so unlucky, let's meet Gu Yanyi again! She turned around as she thought, and happened to see the sand spring coming towards them from the side.
"Miss Three, Miss Six." Sha Quan bowed his head and said goodbye, "My son-in-law sent me to buy some pen and ink." ”
As he spoke, he shook the paper he was carrying.
Saying this, Gu Yanyi was not here, Jin Nian was secretly relieved, and then muttered again, how did this Shaquan recognize her, the last time she saw it at the gate of Guanyin Mountain, she pretended not to recognize Gu Yanyi at that time.
"I see!" Su Jinxiu smiled, "Then go back quickly, don't let your son-in-law wait." ”
Sha Quan said goodbye, and before turning around, he quickly glanced at Jin Nian, his expression inexplicable.
Jin Nian couldn't help frowning, this sand spring is weird!
She pressed the strangeness in her heart and asked the scholar if there was any Chengxin paper in the study.
Finally waiting for the scholar to go farther, Su Jinxiu immediately pulled Jin Nian over and said with a slight reproach: "You are too extravagant!" I actually want to buy Chengxin paper to practice big characters! "That Chengxin paper is not easy to get, ten pieces of paper will cost one or two gold, which is worth half a year's expenses of ordinary people, so the most used by readers at the moment is raw rice paper.
Looking at Su Jinxiu's wide eyes, Jin Nian was a little speechless, "Of course I didn't use it, I bought it to give it to my eldest brother." I don't know what Su Jinxiu thinks, she actually thinks that she is going to practice calligraphy, does she look like a luxury person?
Su Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I'll just say, you don't spend so much money if you have it!" ”
The cuckoo on the side took over the conversation and said: "I heard from the service of the eldest prince that the eldest prince likes to collect inkstones, so Miss might as well send the inkstones!" ”
Coincidentally, the scholar went and returned, and said apologetically: "Chengxin paper is really rare, and now, the study has been out of stock for a long time." He said, looking at the cuckoo, "Why don't you choose a Yan Yan according to what this girl said!" ”
It seems that this can only be the case, Su Jinnian nodded, and followed the scholar to see a few Yan Yan, but the results were not as good as she wanted.
She was a little disappointed, the eldest brother collected should be famous products, and the structure of the Yan pattern in the study is common, and finally a good-looking, carved lines are too rough.
She muttered in her heart: Otherwise, it's better to send something else, and it seems good to send a rare book in the market!
The idea was certain, she raised her feet and was about to leave, but seeing that the scholar was a little discouraged, she still chose a box of plum blossom calligraphy.
The little scholar probably saw that she was easy to talk to, and immediately recommended to her with a smile: "Miss still needs some paintings?" Our paintings here are also superb. ”
These words reminded Su Jinnian, and she remembered what Mr. Ling said, Nian An Jushi had asked the study to sell his paintings on his behalf.
Her heart jumped, and she opened her mouth and asked, "Is there a painting of Nian Jushi here?" ”
The little scholar smiled, "It's a coincidence, today Nian'an Jushi has asked someone to bring the painting, and it is at the shopkeeper's place, and he hasn't had time to hang it out yet?" Miss want to see it? ”
Originally, I just had the attitude of trying it out, but I didn't think that there was really a painting of An Jushi!
What a bonus!
She couldn't wait to say, "Take me to see!" ”
It was a framed picture of a begonia flower, and at a glance, the flower jumped on the paper, and at a glance it was a painting with excellent craftsmanship.
She was a little regretful, if only this painting was a figure painting, it would be a picture of a lady! In this way, she can better know Nian Anjushi's attainments in the figure map.
Although there were some shortcomings, she still asked about the price.
Seeing that she couldn't put it down, the shopkeeper said, "Three hundred taels of silver!" ”
So expensive! Although she already knew that Nian Anjushi's paintings were expensive, she couldn't help but sigh again in her heart when she heard the shopkeeper talk about it.
I don't know how much all her family wealth adds up? Is it enough to ask Nian Jushi to paint a picture for her?
seemed to see her thoughts, and the shopkeeper smiled and said: "If Nian'an Jushi has an official position, then this painting is more than this money, if Miss really likes it, it is not wrong to buy it and collect it." ”
How dare she spend money now, she said apologetically: "I can only wait until I have saved enough money in the future to buy it." ”
When the shopkeeper saw this little girl, she was delicate, so he no longer embarrassed her, and put the painting away with a smile.
When she returned to the carriage, Su Jinxiu asked with some confusion: "I remember that you, like me, don't like painting, why did you become interested in a painting today?" ”
Jin Nian was a little weak-hearted, and replied: "I just think it's beautiful, how can I not be interested." ”
By the time the two arrived at Jinchun Building, it was already past noon.
Jinchun Building is located in the bustling East Street, the three words of Jinchun Building on the plaque are written by the seal script, straight and clumsy.
Directly after entering the door, there is the lobby, and it is past lunch, but the lobby on the first floor is still full of diners.
When the shopkeeper saw Su Jinxiu and the two coming in, he hurriedly came over and greeted, "Third Miss, it's time for dinner." ”
Su Jinxiu nodded, and introduced the shopkeeper and Jinnian to each other, and then ordered: "Miss Six and I are in Mingyue Xuan, and you will send someone up to get some menus later." ”
After she finished speaking, she took Su Jinnian to the Mingyue Xuan on the third floor.
After the second child served tea, Jin Nian joked to Su Jinxiu: "The third sister is quite familiar with this place, and at a glance, she knows that she has come here to satisfy her hunger." ”
Su Jinxiu was dissatisfied and protested: "You know that Pai Xuan me, I have been with my father a lot, practice makes perfect, but I am not here to eat!" ”
The fact is that when she was young, she often asked the second master to bring her, but now that she is older, she can't come once in a few months.
Jin Nian suddenly envied Su Jinxiu, since she was a child, her father has always been by her side, and she, since she was seven years old and sensible, it is difficult to see her father again, the last time they met, was when her father came back for the New Year two years ago.
