Chapter 46: The Outback Tiger's Quest for Plums
Talking to someone who can talk is just a pleasure.
Fang Ningxue couldn't help but be very supportive of Xiao Zhan's alchemy, if Xiao Zhan could become a generation of Dan kings, wouldn't refining the Zhuyan Pill be a piece of cake?
If you can even refine the elixir of eternal life, it will be perfect!
However, learning from Deacon Xu about the style of the disciples of the Hehuan Sect made Fang Ningxue unable to pretend to be generous.
"How can the Immortal Cultivation Sect allow such a shameless sect as the Hehuan Sect to exist?
Hmph, looking for the Ding Furnace everywhere outside, and actually using a man as the Ding Furnace, isn't this a demon sect? ”
Deacon Xu knew that Fang Ningxue had been living in Qingzhou City, and it was understandable that he would look at the cultivation methods of the Hehuan Sect from a secular point of view.
She wouldn't explain too much, that would make Fang Ningxue even more angry.
People who can talk will only say what the other person likes to hear and want to hear, and only then say what they want to say.
"That's it! I also hate the female disciples of the Hehuan Sect! If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do anything like that.
Mrs. Xiao, I brought three tiger pictures of Master Pan, do you like them? ”
Deacon Xu chatted with Fang Ningxue for a long time, just to make a deal, and she turned the topic to business.
At this time, two female disciples of the Treasure Pavilion came over and helped Deacon Xu unfold the painting scrolls one by one.
The three tiger pictures are "Tiger Roaring Dragon", "Tiger Tiger Growing", and "Pride Tiger Seeking Plum".
Suddenly, in the entire small reception room, it seemed to see tigers floating in front of me, and the earth-shaking tiger roar roared in my ears!
Immediately, Fang Ningxue and Qingwen's faces changed, and their hairs stood on end.
"That's amazing!"
Fang Ningxue and Qingwen patted their chests, their hearts palpitating, and they were amazed.
Even Deacon Xu and the two female disciples are small hearts pounding, and they will not have too many opportunities to see Master Pan's works.
Every time I look at it, I can't help but feel as if I am standing in front of a tiger in the painting.
Fang Ningxue took out a handkerchief and threw it on her forehead a few times before she settled down and browsed them one by one.
"Tiger roaring dragon chanting", a tiger on the hill, a five-clawed golden dragon in the clouds, it seems to be "about a fight", Fang Ningxue glanced at it, and turned to the second "tiger and tiger".
Although "Tiger Roaring Dragon Yin" is a high-quality masterpiece, it is definitely not suitable as a birthday gift for grandpa.
The dragon is in the sky, the tiger is in the hill, but the tiger is not as powerful as the golden dragon.
It is worrying that if the golden dragon and the tiger fight, the consequences will be serious......
"Tiger and Tiger", is two tigers walking side by side, but the posture is different, as if the two real tigers are in front of them, getting closer and closer, the snowy tiger teeth, the yellow lantern-like tiger eyes, simply snatching people's hearts, trembling.
"It's so realistic!"
Fang Ningxue had to take out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe her forehead again.
It seems that it is not a good thing that Master Pan's painting skills are too superb, which makes a room full of women scared and sweaty, and panting.
Then, the last remaining "Outback Plum Hunt" is the most appropriate choice!
In the foreground, a tree of plum blossoms and snow.
Middle: A colorful tiger stares at Lamei, its eyes are soft, and it seems to have found a soulmate to reveal joy.
Vista: The snow-capped mountains are hazy and full of wind and snow, outlining a cold winter alpine background.
"This picture of the outback looking for plum blossoms is the most suitable for me."
Fang Ningxue put away her handkerchief, and a smile appeared on her face.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This picture of a tiger, compared with the previous two, although not so powerful and intimidating, is subtle and majestic!
The artistic conception of the picture is far-reaching, the plum blossom and the tiger complement each other, complement each other, make the viewer pleasing to the eye at the same time, but also can exert rich imagination, endless aftertaste, around the beam for three days.
The most important thing is to remind Fang Ningxue of what her grandfather Fang Ningming often said:
"Don't be arrogant, but you must be arrogant!"
The Fang family was able to become a wealthy family in Qingzhou City, and Fang Hongming's contribution was indispensable.
After he retired, he immersed himself in the world of calligraphy and painting he liked, and he didn't ask about the world, which can be regarded as getting what he wanted.
Seeing that her housewife liked this picture of the proud tiger looking for plum blossoms, Qingwen couldn't help but ask:
"So may I ask about this painting...... How much silver do you need? ”
As the head of foreign affairs, Qingwen also has a little bit of activity funds on her body.
Managing the money bag, Qingwen is currently most concerned about the price.
Fang Ningxue was not embarrassed to ask about something like this, so it was more appropriate for her personal maid to ask.
Deacon Xu took out a price list of calligraphy and paintings, and flipped to the column of the Outback Tiger Plum Map, so that Fang Ningxue could look at it.
lest the price she said herself be empty and unsubstantiated, so that customers are not at ease.
Fang Ningxue took a look at the price:
20,000 silver!
When Qingwen saw this price, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, she could almost stuff an egg, and even her breathing became short.
"Just splash some ink on the paper and lick some paint, it's worth 20,000 silver?
These so-called works of art are really too expensive! ”
Qingwen is an eye-opener, the world of rich people, she will slowly understand.
Once you get acquainted with it, it won't be the same as it is now.
Fang Ningxue also had a little drum in her heart, 20,000 taels of silver was too expensive!
With such a major purchase project, she felt that she should discuss it with Xiao Zhan, the head of the family.
The money in her storage ring was all earned by Xiao Zhan.
However, Xiao Zhan was indulging in alchemy, so he didn't let himself be disturbed, and he didn't know when he would be out of the customs.
Time waits for no one, grandpa's birthday will come in two days.
So Fang Ningxue bit her lip, nodded and said:
"Hmm...... All right!
That's it! ”
Deacon Xu, who had been waiting for Fang Ningxue to make up his mind, immediately smiled happily:
"Madame is really discerning, and I like this painting very much...... Do you like, you say? ”
Seeming to feel that he was overjoyed and made inappropriate remarks, Deacon Xu hurriedly raised his voice and asked the two female disciples of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to Mrs. Xiao for her insight, we love this masterpiece so much! ”
The two female disciples replied in unison, to be able to do this, it must be well-trained, and it is the same routine for any customer.
What they need to do is to change the names of other customers to "Fang Ningxue", and they must be very smooth and fluent, so that customers feel as if they are the only ones who answer like this.
Although it was pleasant to listen to the congratulations, there were not too many smiles on Fang Ningxue and Qingwen's faces.
After all, 20,000 taels of silver threw out her hand, even if it was the first time for Fang Ningxue, who was everyone's best girl, she felt more distressed than happy at the moment.
Not to mention Qingwen!
According to her thoughts, she won't pay 2 ...... to kill 20 taels of silver, buy a piece of paper, and come back.
At present, Qingwen's biggest payment limit is 20 taels of silver.
In her purse, there is a budget of 20 taels of silver per day.
As the little housekeeper of the Nine Heavens Feiliu Villa, now she still hurts for the reward of one or two silvers!
However, Deacon Xu's words suddenly made Fang Ningxue and Qingwen smile and show their white front teeth.
"Madam, because you are a customer of our Treasure Pavilion Supreme VIP Card, you can enjoy a 20% discount on the goods on the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
Then you only need to pay 1600 taels of silver, and that's enough. ”
