Chapter 614: Selling Paintings

The general's wife, who has been in the capital for a while, can still knock bangzi and sell pork when she returns to Gouziwan.

Push the cart under the locust tree on the other side of the ancestral hall.

When I walked in, I realized, good guys, there are quite a few people here.

It's obviously the time of the autumn harvest, so we were able to get here together.

Ning Yan almost suspected that these people were not busy at all.

"Village Chief Ning is here."

"Hurry up and queue up, no one is allowed to cut the line."

"Village Chief Ning, this meat is fresh enough."

“……”

The people of the village spoke in a strong local accent.

Ning Yan rolled up his sleeves, held a knife to chop bones in his hand, and went down with a knife, asking for half a catty and not giving eight taels, and asking for bones and not giving fat.

Lu Hanzhang took a small scale and weighed and collected money for Ning Yan.

Slowly, Lu Hanzhang narrowed his eyes.

He seemed to underestimate his own woman, and looked at the accuracy of this knife, which was more sensitive than a scale pole.

When did you come up with such a technique?

Lu Hanzhang put down the conjecture in his heart and continued to weigh.

People came and went, and it was not only the people who lined up behind the back of the ditch, but even the people who went up and down the ditch bay also came.

There are also wealthy families who buy houses at the foot of the mountain.

Stand in the long line.

These people ......

Maybe it's not just buying meat, but I still have the idea of taking a look at Lu Hanzhang in my heart

But......

Ning Yan cares, naturally he doesn't care.

Lu Hanzhang is not a shy little girl, let alone a Jiangyang thief who made a mistake, can he still be afraid of people?

It doesn't matter who's on top.

Ning Yan would ask: "Fat meat or lean meat, bone offal is counted separately." ”

"Then, then two catties of fat."

Walking in front of Ning Yan was obviously an old man who had not queued up to buy meat.

Covering his nose with one hand, he pointed at the flesh with the other.

After speaking, his eyes wandered, and he came to Lu Hanzhang's side, wanting to say something.

Lu Hanzhang picked up the scale in his hand: "Your two catties of meat are good, the next one." ”

"......" superfluous words, Lu Hanzhang will not say.

For an afternoon, Ning Yan and Lu Hanzhang were in front of the stall.

It wasn't until night fell that the two pushed the cart to the house.

The moment you walk into the house, you smell the rich fragrance.

Ning Yan glanced over to the stove room.

"What did you do?"

"Mao Xuewang still has a few hard dishes, the eldest lady is back, and I have to wait for a while."

Ling Hua's voice was mixed with the sound of a frying spoon tumbling.

Ning Yan didn't continue to bother Ling Hua.

Wash up and come out.

Found an extra person in the yard.

It's Qian's.

Now Qian is in good spirits, wearing an indigo gown and carrying a small basket in his hand.

The basket is lined up with neatly lined eggs.

"These are double yolk eggs, don't you taste a lot better, I heard about your coming back yesterday, but the family is a little busy, and I don't have time to come over until now, don't blame me."

"How can you complain."

Ning Yan waved his hand.

His gaze fell on the basket in Qian's hand.

Double yolk eggs, how can this be distinguished.

Xu saw Ning Yan's question.

Qian said with a smile: "I've been raising chickens for a long time, shake it with an egg, and you can hear it by listening to the sound."

"It's so powerful, but it's really a master in the folk."

Ning Yan sighed.

She thought she was omnipotent

Now......

Come on, she definitely can't tell the difference between these yellow eggs.

"Sit inside, haven't you had dinner yet, do you stay here and eat together?"

Ning Yan took the basket in his hand and sent it to the stove room.

Qian shook his head: "No, I heard that you are selling wild boar meat in the ancestral hall today, and I have brought some back, Huzi finally settled down a few days ago, and he plans to start a family, I will add food to him." ”

"Qian Hu ......"

When Qian spoke, Ning Yan's mind reflected the person Qian Hu.

How to say it.

This one is really kind of interesting.

Now that I'm in my twenties, I'm really late married in this era.

"Then this is a good thing is coming, let me say congratulations first." Ning Yan spoke, taking a kitchen knife and walking towards the stove room.

Chop off a piece of the marinated pork.

There are fat and thin, no matter how you eat it, it is suitable.

Qian took the meat from Ning Yan's hand and raised his eyes to look at Ning Yan: "I thought that you entered Beijing and became an official's wife, and you would have to take a carriage when you went out in the future. ”

"......" didn't expect to be so down-to-earth.

Ning Yan smiled.

What she wants is to live a comfortable life, how to come as comfortable as she wants, if she pays attention to the rules here in Gouziwan and so on.

Isn't it plain to embarrass people?

"Okay, I'll go back, no need to send it."

Qian walked out with a bunch of meat.

Ning Yan sent the Qian family out.

I was just going to set the meal.

There was a man running outside.

Looking closely, there are still some familiar "dogs?" ”

"Aunt Ning."

The dog leaned against the wall and breathed hard, and when he saw Ning Yan, the tips of his ears instantly turned red.

He's not called a dog now.

Ever since I went to the school, I have had a daimyo.

What a dog, what a dog, it's too incompatible with him.

However, this is the female village chief, and it is too ignorant to talk to the female village chief about this.

A self-proclaimed sensible person.

The dog suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and the dog was a dog, why is it quite kind when you hear it, right?

……

"Big lady, your portrait has changed over there in the ancestral hall."

"What portrait?"

Ning Yan's face instantly became a little more frightened.

I can't help but be frightened!

On the side of the ancestral hall, generally speaking, only those who have entered the earth will put the portrait there.

Now, she's young......

Could it be that someone in the village cursed her for her early death?

It shouldn't be, she's such a nice person.

Ning Yan muttered in his heart for a while, and decided to go to the ancestral hall with the dog.

Although the dog has been reading books for several years, he is not so sensitive in observing words and colors.

Seeing Ning Yan following behind him, he instantly walked towards the ancestral hall with his head held high like a winning rooster

The door of the ancestral hall is open, and there are oil lamps stained inside.

In the middle of the room hang several paintings......

Ning Yan's attention fell on one of the paintings.

……

This ink sign is Lu Hanzhang's!

Looking at the other portraits, almost carved out of a mold, Ning Yan also understood why Lu Hanzhang took out her portrait alone.

If you don't take it out and replace it, others still think she looks like these old men.

It may not be passed on to future generations, and it will become a person who feasts peacefully, and it is strange and ugly. Male too!

The village chief also!

Of course, her ancient literary attainments are not very good, and she can probably make up such a little thing.

If you go deeper, forget it.

"This painting is so good!"

"Really?" Ning Yan raised his eyes, then nodded.

She also thinks the painting is very good.

Painted her charm.

"This is simply a miracle, village chief, look at this painting, so realistic, so close, you can see it at a glance."

"What kind of miracle, this is replaced by Lu Hanzhang, General Lu is both civil and military, these things are not difficult for him."

"......" When the dog heard Ning Yan's words, his eyes glowed with golden light when he looked at the portrait of the ancestral hall.

“…… What are you thinking about? ”

Ning Yan noticed the change in the dog's attitude and frowned.

The dog laughed.

"The gentleman of the school said that General Lu's authentic handwriting is very valuable, and a calligraphy can be exchanged for a yard in the county seat."

"......" Ning Yan raised his eyes to look at the portrait.

At this moment, she even wanted to take this painting home.

If you can, leave it to your sons and grandchildren, maybe your children and grandchildren will be lonely, and you can still sell the things of your ancestors in exchange for a little survival capital.

Ning Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with her current thoughts.

Most of the wealthy families died in three generations.

It's not more than three, that's probably it.

Now that the Lu family has Lu Hanzhang, there will be Ning Youyu and Xiaotuanzi in the future.

And after that......

Who knows if her son will give her a lost grandson.

Just like the era she knew, Yongzheng Ye was diligent and thrifty all his life, and accumulated wealth for the Qing Dynasty, but what about ......

gave birth to a loser, and everything was in vain.

"Can I take the portrait home?"

"No, it's the property of the village."

Seeing that Ning Yan had the same idea as him, the dog was stunned.

Didn't you say that the village chief would be the general's wife?

The general's wife, how rich and rich it is, and there is probably only the queen in the world who is a little higher than the general's wife.

However, it is simply a ...... for such a wealthy person to think of exchanging the portrait of the ancestral hall for money

The dog has been studying for more than a year, and he almost knows the words, but he still can't find a suitable word to describe the current style of Village Chief Ning.

"Forget it, depending on what I do, I won't be able to take it back."

was stared at by the dog with the gaze of 'you are actually such a village chief', Ning Yan's heart was also very empty.

Coughed and walked out.

went home to eat Mao Xuewang.

Linghua personally made the ingredients used in it are the best, and now the air is good, and the taste of the ingredients is also excellent.

The taste of Mao Xuewang is definitely more delicious.

After saying hello to the dog, Ning Yan walked home.

What about the dogs......

Staring at the portrait hanging in the ancestral hall.

I swallowed my saliva.

Good boy!

This is a big courtyard in a county town!

What if you want to steal it?

Forget it, he can't sell it if he steals it back, it's a big deal to wait for the things here to get old, and when he replaces them, he will take this thing away.

The dog made up his mind, closed the door of the ancestral hall, and began the vigil.

The ancestral hall is the most important place in the village, and since last year, it has to be guarded by someone every day.

If there is no one to watch one day, you have to find out the responsibility.

There are many precious things in the ancestral hall.

The dog's plan, Ning Yan doesn't know it yet.

If you know, you probably won't care too much.

Fang Cai's kind of thought was just an instant, and it didn't matter if he let it go.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

Worrying too much is a burden.
