Although Su Jin told Gu Yu about his general plans, doing embroidery and selling clothes is still an extremely unfamiliar field for Gu Yu.

He couldn't quite understand what Su Jin meant, but after eating, he dutifully took Su Jin to find what she wanted.

Gu Yu stood far away and pointed in the direction and said, "That is the place where the four treasures of the study are sold, and you have all the Yan Shi and pen and ink you want." ”

Su Jin pulled his legs to leave, but when he turned around, he found that Gu Yu didn't follow, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What, aren't you going?" ”

Gu Yu pursed her lips for unknown reasons and shook her head lightly.

"It's a clean and elegant place, so I won't go in."

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Su Jin to react, turned around and left.

Looking at his faintly cramped and flustered back, Su Jin couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place he pointed out, with a little suspicion in his eyes.

Why did she think that when she talked about this place, Gu Yu's whole person was not quite right?

What is he afraid of?

Or rather, what is he hiding?

Su Jin walked into the door of the pen and ink shop with an indescribable strangeness, and it was not surprising that there were no strange people or things in the store that would make people afraid when they saw it.

There are more large and small books in the store, which are especially neatly arranged.

Surrounded by books, the fragrance of ink is curling.

It was not a young man sitting behind the counter that was half a man high, but an old man with a white beard.

The old man was looking down at the book in his hand, and when he heard someone coming in, he didn't look up, but said kindly, "Do you want to borrow a book or buy something?" ”

Su Jin said unexpectedly when he heard this: "Can the books here still be borrowed?" ”

When the old man heard that the person who came was a woman, he raised his head in surprise, and saw that there was a teenage girl standing in front of him, and his face showed a bit of gentleness unique to the elders, and said with a smile: "Paper is expensive and the price of ink is high, and some people who read books can't afford the price of books, so they can only be forced to give up this thought. ”

"Little girl, do you want to borrow a book?"

The old man has an easy-going personality, and the words are imperceptible love, and there is the elegance and bearing of reading poetry and books between his eyebrows and eyes.

Even if you haven't had much contact, your intuition will let people know that this is a kind-hearted elder.

Su Jin rarely saw this kind of old man, shook his head, smiled obediently, and said, "Old man, I'm not here to borrow books. ”

"I heard that you have Yan Shi and pen and ink to sell here, so I want to buy some and go home."

"Yan Shi?"

The old man stood up with a smile and said: "Painting is mostly done with the color of Danqing, and the color of Yanshi can be used for painting, but the world thinks that this thing is thick and colorful, and it is not as good as Danqing, and there are not many people who are rare about this thing, what do you buy it back for?" ”

He was afraid that Su Jin was here to help his family buy something, and specially reminded: "And the price of this thing is not cheap, if you buy it for someone, you can't buy it wrong, are you sure you want Yan Shi?" ”

Su Jin looked at the box opened in the old man's hand, and after seeing what it contained, his eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly.

"What I want to buy is Yan Shi, in addition to Yan Shi, I also want two wolf and two rabbit hair pens, one large and one small, the big one is used to hook the line, the small one is used to smudge, and a stack of cooked Xuan."

After hearing this, the old man who took out Yan Shi looked at Su Jin's gaze with a little more surprise, and said with a smile: "You bought it for your own use?" ”

These things are commonly used objects for painting, if it is not for the person who is familiar with the brush, it is estimated that they can't tell the difference between these pens, and they can't tell the difference between raw and familiar Xuan.

Su Jin nodded.

"Yes."

"I'll buy it and paint the dress."

She had countless styles in her mind, but if she had to make each one as a sample, it would cost too much money and too much energy.

Therefore, she is going to draw out the style she is going to launch for people to spend money to customize on paper in advance, formulate it into a booklet by one, and then let the owner of the cloth village put the drawn booklet in the store to promote it, and then tailor it according to the size of the buyer after someone likes it.

In this way, firstly, the cost is smaller, and secondly, the intensity and scope of promotion will be wider, which is more conducive to her expectations.

The old man never thought that Su Jin's answer would be this, and he couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.

"Draw skirts?"

"That's really going to be a stone."

The color of Danqing is mainly black and white, the freehand meaning is that the wind color is light, and it is better to paint landscapes.

The old man was not fast, but everything he could take out was neatly arranged.

After he took out the last stack of cooked Xuan and laid it out, Su Jincai boldly pulled the selected things in front of his eyes and said, "How much does it all add up?" ”

Seeing this, the old man chuckled and quipped, "These things you want are not cheap, don't you bargain with me?" ”

Su Jin was amused by his humor, and said directly: "It is said that pen and ink are the things loved by literati and elegant people, and they are talking about the style of sentimentality. ”

After hearing this, the old man looked at Su Jin's eyes and became more and more gentle, and said with a smile: "The price of Yan Shi is high, this box is all added together, count you two taels of silver, those four pens are just ordinary bamboo pens, not a rare thing, charge you five yuan, as for this stack of proclamations, it's just that you accompanied me to talk to relieve boredom as a thank you gift, and I should give it to you." ”

Su Jin didn't expect that there would be such benefits in a random break, so he couldn't help but laugh for a while.

"You are so generous, aren't you afraid of losing money when you do business?"

The old man squinted at her, knocked on the table and signaled her to hurry up and take out the money, and said happily: "If you quickly give these two or five dollars, my small shop will not be able to lose." ”

People who don't know the goods may be so frightened that they scold the profiteers when they hear such a number, but Su Jin is happy when he pays for it.

Because she knows in her heart that this old man is really upright, and he didn't cheat her at all!

After paying the bill and packing the big and small things, Su Jin politely bowed to the old man: "Thank you today, I will come back another day if I lack anything." ”

The old man waved his hand with a smile and said, "Go ahead, if you don't understand something, you can also come and ask me at your leisure." ”

"Okay, excuse me."

Su Jin returned with a full load and happily left with his things.

The old man leaned against the counter and watched her walk away, only to see a figure that seemed to flash in the crowd, but the smile on his face slowed down, and there was a little more anger in his eyes.

But when he walked to the door and tried to look for it again, the figure that had passed by in a trance just now was no longer to be found.

The old man slapped the door frame in anger, gritted his teeth and said, "Evil obstacle! ”

"If you dare to take another step into my shop, the old man will kill you, and it will save the reputation of the teacher!"

The old man closed the door with a bang, and after a while, a half-grown boy ran out of the door and hung up a sign that he was closed.

On a crowded street, a stall with kites was placed.

The stall owner looked at the tall man hiding behind the haystack with a smile, and said funny: "Brother, you have been hiding here for a long time, what do you want to do?" ”

Gu Yu, who was in a trance, quickly stood up when he heard this.

He smiled awkwardly at the stall owner, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

He turned back under the puzzled gaze of the stall owner, but after a few steps out, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the closed door.

In the constant noise of people, under the tide of countless laughter from unknown sources, the corners of Gu Yu's chapped lips moved slightly, and he said two words like a mosquito.

"Teacher ......"
