Today, the weather is clear, the sun is just right, and the streets are full of people.

Wen Mianmian in the carriage lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, the low house, the gray roof, the brick and stone paving but not the smooth ground, and the dust slightly brought up by pedestrians made her extremely disgusted.

When the carriage entered Zhongxing Street, it felt better, after all, this is the main street of Kyoto City, relatively clean and clean, the houses look a little more charming, and even some small buildings are vermilion and blue tiles, warped cornices, and have a more rich atmosphere.

After the carriage of Zhongxing Street drove into Zhenbao Street, as the name suggests, this street is famous for selling treasures, as soon as you enter Wen Mianmian's eyes are bright, only to feel that this street is spacious and clean, the ground is paved with large pieces of bluestone, and the faces of the merchants on both sides are new, and the style of a race is a family.

It really deserves to be a street that sells jewelry.

"Jumbo Street is one of the most luxurious streets in Kyoto City." The old man got out of the carriage and flicked the non-existent ash on his body, "I don't dare to come to this street without a little money in my pocket." ”

Wen Mianmian looked at this street with great interest, although it was good, it was still too far worse than what she had seen.

The old lady saw Wen Mianmian holding his painting, and said with some doubts, "Mianmian, what are you doing with this painting?" ”

Wen Mianmian smiled mysteriously, "I'm useful." ”

The grandfather and grandson walked on the street for a while, and saw a jade shop with a large face, and the old man said: "This Baiyuzhai is very famous in Kyoto, with a wide variety of categories and a good reputation. ”

"Then go in."

Wen Mianmian led the two of them in, and the guys in the shop first looked at a few people without a trace, and then greeted them warmly, "Master, girl, you two want to see jade, there are many types of jade in the shop, I don't know what you two need." ”

Wen Mianmian said directly, "No need, we're here to carve the seal." ”

The jade shop also accepts the work of carving seals, that is, the price is higher than the outside, but I heard that the craftsmanship is also better.

The man asked enthusiastically, "I don't know what the girl wants to carve the seal of?" ”

The price of this material is also different.

When the guy saw Wen Mianmian's piece of agate jelly, the smile on his face suddenly became two points eager, "The quality of agate jelly carving can be very careful, you need a master with excellent craftsmanship to dare to get started, the girl is in the right place, our Baiyuzhai carving master is one of the best in the entire treasure street." ”

Soon, a master who looked to be in his fifties was invited out, and he was very happy to see the material, and asked enthusiastically what he wanted to carve.

"Let's talk about the price of the carving first."

The shopkeeper also came, and after seeing the jade, he quoted fifty taels.

The corners of Wen Mianmian's mouth twitched slightly, the craftsmanship is so valuable?

He took the jade from the master's hand, "It's too expensive, I can't afford to carve it." ”

Her total assets are only five hundred taels.

Seeing that she was leaving, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Girl, the carving master of Baiyuzhai is already the best master in the whole street, fifty taels can not only engrave the words you want to carve, but the master also has to change the shape according to your frozen stone." ”

"Your piece of frozen stone looks like layers of mountains from a distance, and it will be more similar after the master's polishing, and the price of the whole frozen stone has to rise by another liter, and this price is definitely not high."

As soon as she said this, Wen Mianmian said that she was acceptable, "It's okay if you say no, tell me how you want to carve." ”

Such a professional thing was naturally handed over to the master, and with the master's explanation, the old man's eyes began to shine, and he rubbed his hands with some excitement, obviously very fond.

The final result was that Wen Mianmian bargained again, and forty taels were sold.

The old man went to tell the master that he wanted to carve the style text, and Mianmian paid the money and learned that it would take three days to get it, so he wanted the shopkeeper to send someone to send her to the door.

The shopkeeper nodded good-naturedly, "I don't know where the house is?" ”

"General Wensheng's Mansion, when the time comes, just let the porter pass it through."

The pen in the shopkeeper's hand almost fell, his heart trembled, his attitude was instantly very earnest, and he took out the forty taels he had just received, "It turned out to be Miss Wen, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the girl can afford the shop, and is willing to take the jade here to carve, this is the blessing of the shop, and I dare not accept the girl's money." ”

Wen Mianmian and the others looked at each other, not knowing what the situation was.

But......

"Where is the reason to get back the money paid, remember to send me the seal in three days."

After speaking, he turned around and led the people away, the shopkeeper took the silver with a look of chagrin, this Baiyuzhai is an industry in the name of the king of Annan, if the prince knows that he received the silver of the future princess, can this shopkeeper still do it?

The old man of Baiyuzhai said: "Although this Baiyuzhai has a good reputation, I have never heard of any such thing as not collecting cash." ”

"Is it because you are afraid of your father's prestige?"

His son is so cruel that he looks scary, isn't there something else he is doing outside?

Wen Mianmian didn't care, in case people thought his father was too powerful and wanted to respect him.

Seeing that there was a shop selling antique calligraphy and paintings in front of him, Wen Mianmian left Baiyuzhai behind, turned around and took the scroll from Lingguo's hand and walked in.

In the warm welcome of the guys, Wen Mianmian spoke, "Someone owes my grandfather a sum of money and can't pay it back, and used a painting to mortgage, today I want to ask the shopkeeper to give the palm of the hand, is this painting worth it, is my grandfather a loss?" ”

The shopkeeper stepped forward to take Wen Mianmian's painting, and when he saw that there was no payment and seal, he was disappointed for a while, and then looked carefully at the painting for a long time before he looked up, "Dare to ask how much silver this painting has mortgaged." ”

"Five hundred taels."

The shopkeeper shook his head, and said honestly, "This painting brush is excellent, flowing water, it is really a top grade, if it is made by a famous artist, it is far more than five hundred taels, but it is a pity that there is no name and no surname, so it will be hung on the wall as a view." ”

Wen Mianmian stepped forward, "The shopkeeper means that the painting is actually good, but because the painting is not famous, it is not worth it?" ”

"So to speak."

There was a trace of gloom in the eyes of the old man on the side, and there was a trace of indescribable feeling, he stepped forward to take back the painting scroll, but the shopkeeper opened his mouth again, "Fifty taels, can the old gentleman give this painting to the contemptible people." ”

The old man was a little surprised, a little moved, Wen Mianmian's eyes rolled and he had a plan in his heart, and stepped forward to take the painting scroll, "This is five hundred taels of silver." ”

Then he didn't look back and was about to leave, and the shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, "One hundred taels, this price can find many shy students to draw a lot of paintings." ”

Seeing that Wen Mianmian was unmoved, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth again, "One hundred and fifty taels." ”

Wen Mianmian gave her a smile, turned around and walked back, "Shopkeeper, if I go and carve a seal at will, how much is this painting worth?" ”

The shopkeeper's face was panicked, "I can't help it." ”
