Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 56
Wan Yan couldn't hold back her smile.

Blinking his eyes, he said slowly: "They are right, but I think that what we look like is entirely up to us. What others say is good is not necessarily good, and what others say is bad is not necessarily bad."

There was hope in Wan Yan's eyes: "Today is the second day we know each other. I hope that after a while, you will judge whether I am good or not."

Xiao Shitou nodded fiercely, and whispered: "Sister, not all the servants in Tongshan Mansion are good people, you have to pay attention to the people around you."

Little Shitou didn't know the name of the yamen servant who said those words to him yesterday.

It is also impossible to ask others about the situation of this yamen servant.

But he felt that his sister was a good person, so it was necessary to remind her.

"What I mean is that everyone in the government office can't believe it, except of course Mr. Su." Xiao Shitou said with a chuckle.

Wan Yan heard that the little stone meant something.

"A government servant?"

Wan Yan thinks of her lost earrings, she believes that the aunt in the kitchen won't get them, is that really the yamen servant of Tongshan Mansion?

The two looked at each other, Xiao Shitou's eyes were clean, and Wan Yan's mind fluctuated.

"Thank you!" Wan Yan looked away and said shallowly.

The stone in Xiao Shitou's heart fell to the ground, he reminded his sister, and he didn't betray the yamen servant, he felt that he did it perfectly.

Wan Yan raised her head, looked at the gold signboard of Qingyang Painting and Calligraphy Studio with black letters on a blue background, took a deep breath: "Let's go." She stretched out her hand to push the door and entered.

A shopkeeper in his 40s raised his head when he heard the voice.

Before Xiaoshitou was introduced, the shopkeeper looked at Wanyan several times and smiled: "You are Wanyan girl?"

"Exactly." Wan Yan smiled faintly at the kind shopkeeper.

"My surname is Xu, and you can call me Lao Xu. I have been working in this study for almost 30 years. I thought that if the study changed hands, I would leave too. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su insisted that I stay. I will listen to the girl from now on." .”

Wan Yan shook her head: "Shopkeeper Xu is not right. My lord only said that I should help. I have to learn more from Shopkeeper Xu. I like calligraphy and painting, but I can't even say that I am proficient. Shopkeeper Xu has been working for so many years. How dare I play tricks."

Shopkeeper Xu laughed loudly: "Girl, don't shirk, how about it, we have something to discuss in the future."

The Painting and Calligraphy Studio is not small. Before Wanyan and the others came, shopkeeper Xu was framing a painting.

Wan Yan walked to the table and looked at it. It was a picture of white peony flowers blooming and rich. The painting was not exquisite, and the composition was unexpected.

Large peony flowers are in full bloom in the flower garden, and butterflies are flying and coming here smelling the fragrance.

"Is this painted by Shopkeeper Xu?"

Xu Zhou shook his head quickly, and asked Wan Yan with a low smile: "If I tell you that I don't know how to draw, will you believe me?"

Wan Yan looked surprised: "I can't believe it."

Shopkeeper Xu continued to mount the painting and slowly explained: "It's true, I am good at grasping the essence of paintings, so when customers come to buy paintings, I can tell what the painter thinks and understand the buyer's mood. "

"Master Xu makes me admire."

Old Xu laughed loudly: "It's just for making a living, the girl laughed at me, I heard Mrs. Su said that Miss Wanyan painted since she was a child?"

"Okay, then I will introduce myself politely. I like the calligraphy and paintings of famous teachers, and I also study them. I have no problem in distinguishing paintings. Shopkeeper Xu and I have our own strengths. From this point of view, our cooperation will definitely make money. "

Hearing about earning money, shopkeeper Xu's eyes lit up: "This is good, this is good."

Wan Yan looked around at the calligraphy and painting, and asked: "Master Xu, I see that these calligraphy and painting are both real and fake, who usually come to buy them?"

When Xuzhou heard it was true and false, he secretly sighed at Wanyan's eyesight.

He knew that she was the head of the Jiaofang Division, and had heard of Wanyan's reputation for a long time. It is said that the head of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is proficient in everything.

As for how the top card came out of the Jiaofang Division and came to Mr. Su's calligraphy and painting studio?

Shopkeeper Xu didn't care.

"How should I put it, there are all kinds of people, most of them are arty people, and there are also many people who buy gifts and gifts, but this kind of people have to be authentic, and they are very careful. I am actually not willing to sell to this kind of people."

Wan Yan learned some tricks again, and listened carefully: "Where are those arty people?"

"This kind is good. I often like fakes. When I come here, I will make it clear that such customers are very profitable because there is no reserve price. Speaking of this, our calligraphy and painting studio has a regret."

"Oh?"

"Do you know Yuyuanxuan Calligraphy and Painting Workshop? An old store similar to ours. It was a small store a few years ago. It started last year and suddenly its business exploded."

Shopkeeper Xu said, with disbelief and unwillingness written on his face.

Wan Yan knew about Yuyuanxuan, and she asked Aunt Tian to send her calligraphy and paintings there to sell for money.

"Shopkeeper Xu, tell me, what happened to it?"

"Since last year, a mysterious Layman Qing'an has given them paintings. That person's paintings are very good, and it is said that they are fakes by famous masters. You know Master Wen Daoyan. That Layman Qing'an copied his paintings, and they are so fake."

Shopkeeper Xu smacked his lips: "By the way, I heard Master Su said that it's a great thing for the girl to know Lay Qing'an. Can the girl tell the master that his paintings will be sent to us for sale in the future?"

Wan Yan was dumbfounded, she really didn't know that her paintings had such a market, no wonder Aunt Tian would give her a sum of money every once in a while.

Wan Yan was very happy, but she didn't want to say that Lay Qing'an was her, so she smiled and nodded to shopkeeper Xu: "Then I'll try."

"That would be great. If the business is negotiated, the girl will be the lucky star of our calligraphy and painting studio."

In the following time, shopkeeper Xu taught her and Xiao Shitou to mount calligraphy and paintings, polish the rough edges, and make rubbings.

For an hour, the three of them talked and laughed, and the time passed quickly.

Before noon, when the bell rang, a gorgeously dressed young man pushed the door in. Shopkeeper Xu greeted him with a smile.

"Customer, what do you want to buy?"

Wan Yan looked up, this was the first guest this morning, she was very nervous and looking forward to it.

The man was dressed in gorgeous clothes and expensive clothes, and his gestures carried an inherent arrogance.

Wan Yan has been in the Jiaofang Division for two years, and has seen all kinds of guests. It cannot be said that she knows people, but at least she can guess the taste of men pretty well.

This young man is no ordinary man.

Just talking about the brocade on his body is not affordable for ordinary people.

This person is either rich or expensive.

Wan Yan lowered her eyes and secretly listened to how shopkeeper Xu would respond.

"Customers can look at them freely, and our small shop can also customize paintings and calligraphy according to customers' preferences, ensuring customer satisfaction."

"Oh? Anything is fine? Can customization meet the requirements?" Hearing this sentence, the man stared at shopkeeper Xu teasingly.

Shopkeeper Xu has rich experience, and he quickly smiled and said: "Of course, our calligraphy and painting studio may not be able to satisfy the guests, but we will do our best. As long as we do our best, there will always be a chance, right?"

The man smiled, walked around the calligraphy and painting studio, looked at the counter unintentionally, his eyes did not move.

Wan Yan sensed that the man's gaze was not friendly, so she pretended to be playing with the calligraphy and painting on the table with Xiaoshi, and turned her back.

Seeing this, shopkeeper Xu hurriedly stood in front of the man, pretending to introduce the calligraphy and painting in front of him, and said loudly: "Guest, look here, this calligraphy and painting is an excellent work whether you give it away or hang it in the study."

The man glanced lightly, passed Shopkeeper Xu and continued to stare at Wan Yan: "Alright, let me think about it! But I want that girl to introduce me!"
