Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 218
Guan Jiaze suddenly had a bitter face: "Why did you leave it to me? What are you doing?"

"We are helping you." Du Jinning patted him on the shoulder, "Among the four of us, you have the most face in the academy, don't you?"

As soon as Guan Jiaze was put on by her high hat, he immediately became happy, patted his chest and said, "Okay, you can leave it to me."

Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning looked at each other with smiles on their lips.

Those gentlemen in the academy are not so easy to persuade.Some are arrogant and disdain to sell paintings and calligraphy for money; some are not short of money at all.And those who need to sell calligraphy and paintings to make a living have their own original sales channels.It is not easy to change them.That's why Du Jinning didn't plan to sell calligraphy and painting in the bookstore from the beginning.

But since Yao Shuqi proposed this, and Guan Jiaze was able to take on this arduous task, she was naturally quite happy.

Turning her eyes, she walked up to Qi Muyuan and called out, "Senior Brother Qi..."

Qi Muyuan's body trembled, and he gave Du Jinning a sideways look: "If you have something to say, don't call me senior brother." Call him senior brother when you have something to do, and call Qi Muyuan directly when you have nothing to do, as if he doesn't know what the hell this little guy is up to.

Du Jinning didn't blush when he was seen through at a glance, and said with a shy smile, "Isn't Grandpa Qi's handwriting quite good? You can persuade him to take out two calligraphy works, and make them the treasures of our shop."

"He won't agree." Qi Muyuan refused without thinking.

"Just put it in the store, we don't sell it." Du Jinningyou said, "With his old man's calligraphy in the store, those young people don't dare to make trouble, right? And the gentlemen of the academy will look at his old man's face and be happy He took out the calligraphy and painting without hesitation."

Qi Muyuan glanced at Du Jinning, but remained silent.

Du Jinning saw that there was a door, and tried his best to persuade him: "Every face has its own style, and there is no distinction between top and bottom. The same is true of Grandpa Qi's calligraphy. Those who like his old man's calligraphy regard it as a standard, and it is absolutely not good to hang it out." It will lose the face of his old man."

Qi Muyuan raised his eyebrows: "How do you know what I think?"

"If you judge someone by yourself, you will know it naturally." Du Jinning said with a smile.

Some people don't like others to use money to measure their works, so many calligraphers and painters are not willing to sell their paintings and calligraphy, which is understandable.But even if he doesn't sell Qi Bokun, he is unwilling to use his works to support his grandson's business. What he worries about is nothing more than worrying that others will say that his handwriting is not good.Especially compared with Tang Yuankai who is good at calligraphy in the academy, if he can't compare with him, it will inevitably lose face.

But the imperial examination not only reads the text, but also reads the characters.Qi Bokun had passed the palace examination, and the memorial he wrote had a sense of presence in front of the emperor all day long, so his handwriting must be good.There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.His status as an old man is there, and no one in this county has the guts to pick on his old man's handwriting.

Guan Jiaze got excited when he heard the conversation between the two, and said to Qi Muyuan, "No, ask Grandpa Qi to write two pictures for us."

Qi Muyuan was helpless, and said to Du Jinning: "If you can ask Mr. Yuan for his paintings, I will promise to ask my grandfather for two paintings."

Guan Jiaze is a watcher who doesn't think it's a big deal, so he immediately pointed the finger at Du Jinning: "Yes, we all have tasks, there is no reason for you and Zhang Hongwen to rest. You go to Mr. Yuan, Zhang Hongwen to Mr. Tang, everyone Let's find the calligraphy and painting together and decorate the facade, otherwise the room will be empty, and I will have no face to open the business."

"Don't embarrass Zhang Hongwen." Du Jinning rolled his eyes at him, "Zhang Hongwen can just find Mr. Huang Chengming. I remember that Mr. Huang's calligraphy and painting are pretty good."

Zhang Hongwen glanced at her gratefully, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll find Mr. Huang."

Guan Jiaze asked Zhang Hongwen to find Tang Yuankai, he didn't think much about it, he just mentioned it casually.Seeing that Zhang Hongwen had taken on a task, he naturally had no objection.

Yao Shuqi didn't expect that Du Jinning would give him such a big surprise when he just proposed to sell calligraphy and painting, that he could get all the calligraphy and painting of these famous people in the county to put on display.Even if it is not sold, it is still a gimmick, which can always attract scholars to visit this store.With popularity, are you afraid of no business?

He was surprised and happy when he saw Du Jinning waving at him: "Master Yao, come here." He hurried over.

"How do the paintings and calligraphy of other families make money?" Du Jinning asked.

Yao Shuqi was named after Shuqi, so he was naturally from a scholarly family.It's just that he doesn't have the talent to study, and his family fortune has fallen again, so he came out and became the shopkeeper.He insisted on doing calligraphy and painting business in the bookstore. Firstly, he himself was obsessed with these, and secondly, it was because his family had done calligraphy and painting business before and had certain experience in this.

When he heard Du Jinning's question, he immediately talked eloquently: "One is to buy calligraphy and paintings directly from calligraphers and painters, and sell them in bookstores. The other is that calligraphers and painters put their calligraphy and paintings in bookstores for sale, and bookstores charge [-]% cost of."

The modern calligraphy and painting business also does the same, but Du Jinning did not expect the ancient bookstores to charge such a high share.

She thought for a while and asked Yao Shuqi: "If we only charge [-]% of the share, will someone say that we are disrupting the rules?"

Yao Shuqi nodded: "Naturally. Our family is not the only one in the painting and calligraphy business. The Yan family has a large painting and calligraphy shop."

The Yan family?There was a coldness in the eyes of several people in the room.

"Du Jinning, we want to make this shop bigger and crush Yan's shop." Guan Jiaze said bitterly.

Originally, he still felt dispensable to this shop, and it didn't matter whether he made money or lost money.But now, he was aroused with a strong fighting spirit.

The Yan family aimed at Du Jinning, didn't they go to the Guan family?Although Yan Cen was kicked out of the academy and was stripped of his qualifications as a janitor student, Yan Songtao had lost an arm, but Guan Jiaze's anger has not subsided yet.

Du Jinning was naturally very happy to have the opportunity to run on Yan's family, nodded and said: "Okay."

She thought for a while, and said to Yao Shuqi: "In this way, we are students of the academy, so taking care of our gentlemen is naturally not within the scope of business. The calligraphy and paintings of the gentlemen of the Boyue Academy only charge [-]% of the fee, which is considered us. The return of a few students to the gentlemen."

Yao Shuqi's eyes lit up: "That's good."

Some gentlemen from poor families are not so lofty that they disdain money.Many people will sell their calligraphy and paintings.If it is sold, there will be the original inherent sales channels.It is not an easy task to get them to sell calligraphy and paintings here.After all, there is an old friendship, there is no need for people to offend others for no reason.

It can be different if you change the handling fee from [-]% to [-]%.Thinking about it, even if they didn't open their mouths, those gentlemen would take the initiative to put the consignment place in their bookstore.No one will have trouble with Yinzi, will they?
