"Lord Wang, can you still do it?"

Yan Mu'an wanted to go shopping on a whim, Yongchang felt that this matter was a simple matter, and he went out with the money, originally he thought that it was just to go to a shop, sit down and have a cup of tea, and then the shopkeeper moved all the good things out, and the princess slowly selected.

But actually

"I'm fine, where else does the princess want to go?"

It is true that you can drink tea and sit when you enter the shop, but the princess often just sits for a while, thinks things are good-looking, and then gets up and leaves, and then walks aimlessly on the streets, looking for the next shop that is pleasing to the eye.

How did she know that Yan Mu'an was excited, you must know that she hadn't been shopping in the streets for so long, and when she was in the capital, she only felt that the capital was not pleasing to the eye, either that the houses were gray and unbeautiful, or that the streets were narrow and unclean, and Yongcheng because of the large boundaries and spacious streets, even the houses looked a lot stretched, so you didn't need to be squeezed by me, I squeezed you together.

It can be said that the sky here is a lot bluer, and the view is not a continuous mountain peak, but the sky is high and wide, and the mood is of course different.

Even the shops in the city are bigger than those in the capital.

"Didn't you listen to the shopkeeper just now, at the end of this street, you can turn a corner to Yongchang Baibao Street, saying that there are all treasures for sale, what pen, ink, paper, inkstone, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, best jewelry, etc., should be collected."

Today, it was Zhang Shi who came out to lead the way, the first person to rush to Yan Mu'an to introduce himself, and now his old son and sister have gone to the palace on an errand, their family is satisfied with the current day, and they are even more dedicated to being called to lead the way today.

"What the princess said is that Baibao Street is not the most prosperous street in Yongcheng, but it is the richest street in Yongcheng, and the two-foot-wide ground in the middle of the whole street is paved with broken jade, which is called Baiyu Road, also known as Fugui Road."

"Listen, Baiyu Road."

Yan Mu'an said that he was going to see it immediately, and he didn't want to take the carriage, feeling that he couldn't see anything in the carriage, and it was bumpy and boring.

Yongchang resigned himself to his fate and raised his heel to step forward, not understanding how the princess, who shouted that her heel hurt after walking two more laps in the mansion on weekdays, would not be tired when she went shopping.

When the prince and princess traveled, the formation was naturally not small, and there were many eyes on the road, but the group was not affected, only Luo Hui and others kept on guard, for fear that there would be a long time to jump out.

Zhang Shi walked in front, turned the corner and hurriedly said, "Princess, this is it." ”

The street is not as spacious as the street just now, but the ground is paved with bluestone slabs with textures, and the middle of the road is gravel, that is, the broken jade that Zhang Shi said, all the way to the whole street, "It's all jade?" ”

"All of them."

Zhang Shi introduced, "this street was carved jade pieces a long time ago, every household heard the sound of the machine, there were as many as 100 merchants operating jade, and the caravans of each family brought back jade materials from other places, but not all jade materials can be sold for money, and when they encountered those who could not sell the jade, they were all built on the wall of their own courtyards, and later the street renovation needed stones, so some people proposed to take out the jade materials that they did not want to pave the road, which is the foot of this one." ”

"In the early years, there were still sneaks here in the middle of the night to dig jade, and now it may be a good thing to look down on, saying that someone has dug up a complete bracelet, but then the government arrested it strictly, and there is its own patrol on this street, and gradually no one dares to come."

Yan Mu'an was very curious, "This is very close to the jade mine?" ”

Zhang Shi shook his head, saying that he didn't know where the jade mine was, "The big boats can be taken here, and they are all brought by the big ships." ”

Yan Mu'an didn't ask any more questions, everything is possible with the development of waterways.

The first store Yan Mu'an encountered walked in, it was a shop that mainly sold jade jewelry, but she didn't have much interest in jade, just walked around and learned about the market and went out, walked a few steps and entered a calligraphy and painting shop, which is interesting, although she can't appreciate any techniques, but she can appreciate whether it looks good or not.

Yongchang sat down with a stitch, only hoping that the princess could stay in this shop for a long time, it is strange to say, riding a horse for a day on weekdays or practicing for a long time has not been so tired as now, at this moment not only feel tired, but also quite tired, I really don't know what is good in this street, what does it take to buy it directly, why do you have to choose slowly.

"Brother Wu, can anyone buy my painting?"

An extremely shabby middle-aged man came to the door, and the shopkeeper was afraid that he would upset the customers in the store, so he asked the guy to take the person to the backyard, Yan Mu'an swept his eyes, "Come to sell paintings on consignment?" ”

The shopkeeper's hand, she already had a guess in her heart who the person in front of her was, but she didn't dare to confirm it, and secondly, she didn't dare to reveal his identity, so she could only say with a smile on her face, "There are always some guests who take their paintings to consign, but most of these people are not famous, they are not easy to sell, and they can't sell at a price." ”

Yan Mu'an understands that valuable paintings can only be valuable when the person who painted them is gone, and it is extremely difficult for someone to return them or to someone who is hard to find a painting.

"Show me the man's drawing."

The shopkeeper hurriedly found a scroll from the general's bottle not far away, opened it and showed it in front of Yan Mu'an, it was a spring picture with extremely bright colors, horses with incense, children playing and kites for manuscript fees.

"It's not the same as the one he is."

Shabby middle-aged people, strong color spring pictures, just paint a lot of money.

The shopkeeper said: "This person's paintings have always been strong and bold, and everyone likes to be simple and distant, sparse and cold, not very popular with everyone, there is also a picture of his white clouds and maple leaves, which is also brightly colored, very grand."

Saying that, he took out another pair, Yan Mu'an also nodded after seeing it, seeing that she seemed to like it, the shopkeeper stood up and brought out a picture of the mountains and forests and deer singing in a more gorgeous and delicate color, Yan Mu'an liked it at a glance, in her eyes, the lighting in the room was very ordinary, and the paintings with ash fluttering were somewhat dull, or Yan Mu'an's looked more comfortable.

"Let's wrap all three of them."

"Also, ask the three gentlemen who painted the painting to ask me."

There are no seals on the three paintings, which shows that the shopkeeper was ready to take advantage of it early on.

The shabby middle-aged man hadn't left yet, knowing that his three paintings had been sold, he hurriedly ran out, "Hurry up and settle the bill for me, hurry up and use the money." ”

"Mr. Wen, your nobles are here, don't lose your manners."

The shopkeeper stepped forward and smiled and played a round game, "I know that you are in a hurry, and your silver is indispensable." ”

Mr. Wen looked at Yan Mu'an and bowed his hand, "This lady has something to ask me?" But what's wrong with my drawing? ”

Yan Mu'an smiled: "I just want to ask why there is no seal?" ”

As soon as this painting came out, he was nervous, after all, he asked for it, he could see that the three paintings were good, you must know that someone specially bought this kind of painting without a seal, like Mr. Wen, a person who has no money and no background, his painting has a seal is better than no seal and sells, and the buyer does not know who painted the painting after buying it back.
