Chapter 367 The Thousand Golden Painting House
Time passed, and before he knew it, Zhuo Yifan had been a firefighter for two years. The old woodcutter had not been seen again in the past two years, and no one had come to trouble him. The old woodcutter said goodbye, and He Xinlan was also helpless. Therefore, the position of the head of the fire room naturally fell to Zhuo Yifan.
In the past two years, the fire room has changed a lot, there are several more vents, it is not as hot as before, and the food has become more abundant than before, except for Huo Cun and Wang Yuanchun, the rest of the brothers have also changed batch after batch, the only thing that has not changed is the young man who sits quietly in the corner every day and burns the fire. Although he has become the chief manager and can avoid the work of burning the fire, Zhuo Yifan still works every day and never stops.
Because of this, although many people have changed in the fire room, I feel sincere respect for this young manager and all the people who come to work here. Even if some people can't stand it and change to another job in Longkong Xuan, they will shout when they see Zhuo Yifan on weekdays: Mr. Zhuo is in charge.
After two years of polishing and experience in the world, the childishness on the young man's face has melted a lot, less delicate and more resolute. The body is also stronger.
During the day, Zhuo Yifan burned the fire to work, and at night he went to the painting house in Dongcheng to paint and rest, and the chief steward's house next to the fire room became a place of leisure for the brothers in the fire room. Tired people can take a bath here, chatter, or even rest directly, He Xinlan will send someone to clean it every day.
Let's talk about the painting house in Dongcheng, when Zhuo Yifan decided to open a painting house here, Liu Changqing and Beitang Xian were surprised.
At the beginning, the painting house was very deserted, and Zhuo Yifan wanted to create a low-key and clean atmosphere. I was stunned that I didn't even let go of a series of artillery battles. Even the neighbors of the shop pΓΉ. Wait until you know that this leather shop has changed owners. It was transformed into a painting house three days later.
Everyone was not impressed by this painting house at first, some people said that it was like a ghost shop, and unconsciously settled in Dongcheng and appeared.
Three days after the opening of the studio, someone finally noticed the place, and when they walked in, they found that the paintings were divided into three categories. There are many kinds of beasts and birds of prey, demons and monsters.
But no matter what kind of it is, everyone is amazed, and the exclamation skills are also weird!
Painting people, painting women, flying immortals outside the sky, from the action, to the demeanor, to the dress, are all beautiful and lovely. Draw men. Some are handsome scholars, and some are extraordinary knights. Others are the norm of a hundred families, with the intimacy and warmth of mother and son, and the harmony of grandparents and grandchildren.
As for the painting of beasts, it is needless to say that the ones that draw demons, those fierce teeth and fine teeth, scales and hairs are countable, some of them are puffing up their claws, some are grinning, rampant and vicious, hideous and terrifying, and after watching it for a long time, people almost have the illusion of jumping out of it.
These paintings are so fierce and horrific that many people dare not look closely, but many people still notice that the two types of paintings of beasts and birds of prey and demons and monsters, whether they are birds and beasts or ghosts, do not have eyes on them.
There are many literati and bachelors who come to the painting house, and naturally there is no shortage of painters who come to observe. These painters are all connoisseurs, so they naturally know the quality of their paintings, and they immediately want to buy a few paintings and go back to figure out the way of painting, and figure out and study them.
"Shopkeeper, how much do these paintings cost?" a young artist pointed to the single painting.
Zhuo Yifan swept his eyes, smiled slightly, pointed to a small wooden sign, and said, "Let's go and see for yourself." β
This small wooden sign hung on the door knocker, extremely inconspicuous, after hearing Zhuo Yifan's words, many people gathered their eyes to the past, only to see the young painter walked to the door in three or two steps, picked up the small wooden card and took a look, actually kicked the door open, scolded and left angrily.
Seeing the young painter's deeds, many people in the house secretly scoffed, and said in their hearts, isn't it just a few paintings, and the painting is so good that the price is a little more expensive, and it won't be like this? However, when they saw the price on the wooden sign in confusion, they all went crazy, because the cheapest kind of painting in this painting house cost a hundred taels of gold!
As a result, many people said that they were not angry before, but at this moment, they kicked the door and left one by one.
In this way, on the first day of the real meaning of the art house, all the visitors parted unhappily, and even more foul language, explicitly cursing the art house for closing down as soon as possible. For these people, Zhuo Yifan didn't pay attention to them, and adopted an attitude of listening to them and laughing at them.
Although this day was very unpleasant, the name of this Qianjin Painting House was completely launched in a piece of gossip in Dongcheng.
But although the name is famous, Zhuo Yifan is notorious as a shopkeeper of the painting house, and many people say that this is a madman who wants money and wants crazy.
However, things come and go quickly. After this day, something happened that stunned everyone.
At dusk that day, Zhuo Yifan finished the work of the fire room and came to the painting house early, which was different from the desertion of the previous few days.
Zhuo Yifan took a few steps closer, and was wondering what was going on, but saw an old man pacing anxiously, with several carriages parked beside him.
"Why is Brother Liu here?" Zhuo Yifan saw the person coming and greeted him.
"Look, this is the madman who sells paintings!"
Everyone immediately recognized Zhuo Yifan, and at the same time, they couldn't help but slander in their hearts, this person is really crazy! He actually called the current emperor, Beitang Zhengyipin University Scholar, who he thought he was? Although he was not angry, the people around him did not make a sound, just waiting to see the appearance of this madman.
"Brother Lin, you can be counted as coming, but let me wait!" Liu Changqing rushed to Zhuo Yifan in three or two steps under the stunned gaze of everyone around him, and made a respectful gesture.
Early this morning, Liu Changqing received a message. It is said that a notorious painting house was opened in Dongcheng District, and when I asked the reason, I learned that this painting house sells paintings at a very high price, and the cheapest one costs 100 gold. Originally, Liu Changqing was not interested, but he knew that because of this painting, his eyes suddenly lit up. Because at this moment, he could already judge who the owner of this painting house was!
He immediately explained the situation to Beitang Xian. For various reasons, Beitangxian couldn't come in person, but after Liu Changqing got the promise, he put down his important business and hurried over. There are also several horse-drawn carriages behind him, ready to be used to decorate paintings. And this posture has also attracted many onlookers. When people saw that it was Liu Changqing, they were all surprised. I can't figure out what a dignified scholar of Beitang Yipin, a person who is more noble than the prime minister, come to this painting house opened by a madman?
"Brother Liu is coming, and I won't tell you in advance, I can put down my work and come over. Zhuo Yifan bowed back and said with a smile.
"You kid, you really deserve to fight, you didn't discuss such a big matter with your brother, so you made your own decisions. Liu Changqing pretended to be annoyed and glanced at Zhuo Yifan, and laughed and scolded with a smile.
Everyone present was a little stupid! This young man actually dealt with Liu Changqing on an equal footing? Who the hell is it?
"Looking at Brother Liu's posture, it seems that he came prepared. Zhuo Yifan looked at the five royal carriages and shrugged helplessly.
Just when people were stunned and didn't react from the relationship between this young man and Liu Changqing, they saw Liu Changqing pointing to the five carriages and laughing: "That's natural! Today, you see me empty your painting house!"
Hearing this sentence, everyone in the audience was stunned and petrified! (To be continued......)
