Chapter 23 Accompanying "Future Wife" to the Exhibition
Tao Defu, who was taken aback, scolded the guy bloody in his heart when he understood the reason, but no matter what, Boss Yuan might not be able to hide He Wei's existence here.

also good.Tao Defu immediately turned a new idea in his mind, patted Boss Yuan on the shoulder, and introduced He Wei to him formally: "This is the new embroidery worker I mentioned earlier, surnamed He, He Wei. Don't look at the young girl , the embroidery skills are definitely above the two senior embroidery workers in our shop. The most rare thing is that she knows the long-lost ancient embroidery. Well, I promise you that the hand-embroidered picture of Guanyin is Xiaohe spent a full month and a half It was carefully embroidered, and I just brought it to the shop today, I was entertaining her, so I was interrupted by you..."

After Boss Yuan entered the office, he found the hand-embroidered Guanyin statue on the desk. Instead of clamoring for a cup of top-quality Pu’er, he happily held the Guanyin statue and admired it.

What's wrong with embroidery?Is it pure appreciation? !
Moreover, if even a layman like him thinks that this embroidery is both in form and spirit, and is so lifelike, and he is reluctant to put it down in his hand, one can imagine how shocked and envious those experts will be when they see it.After all, this embroidered portrait was to be given to the old lady at home who was preparing for her [-]th birthday. If it was a good item, it would appear that he was sincere, wouldn't it?

But now, after hearing what Tao Defu said, Boss Yuan was not calm anymore.

"What? Who do you think embroidered this Guanyin image? This little girl?"

Tao Defu rolled his eyes and knew it would be like this. He quickly pulled He Wei and said to Boss Yuan: "Old Yuan, let me tell you the truth, Xiaohe's family conditions are not good, so he came out to work while still in school. , You just need to understand this matter in your heart, and introduce it if you have business, and don’t shout about others. The little girl has a thin skin, and if she shouts to everyone, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t come to our store to help. "

"It was really embroidered by her?" Boss Yuan hadn't turned the corner on this question at all, and after getting Tao Defu's affirmative answer, he pulled He Wei in front of him, looked him up and down, and said admiringly : "Hey! I said yes! It's amazing that such a beautiful little girl knows such advanced embroidery skills! No wonder you want to hide it, Lao Tao. If it were me, I would do the same..."

Tau Defu twitched the corners of his mouth weakly, the words sounded too fucking ambiguous.

Fortunately, he and his family's Tai Zuo had reported that such a young girl with excellent embroidery skills had recently come to the store, otherwise, as soon as similar words reached the Tai Zuo's ears, she might have killed her.

Boss Yuan had already put his attention on He Wei, and he pulled her with great interest and kept asking:

"How old is Xiaohe?"

"You haven't graduated from junior high school yet?"

"Which school?"

"Who did you learn this skill from? How many years have you practiced?"

"..."

He Wei was overwhelmed by his question.

"It's all right, you don't have to scare the signature embroiderers in my shop..." Seeing this, Tao Defu interrupted Boss Yuan's general interview questions with a black line on his face.

Boss Yuan laughed twice, scratched his head and said, "Isn't this exciting? It's rare to see such a young embroidery worker with such good skills... By the way, Xiaohe, if you don't want to live in the future , help me embroider another pair, this time I want it myself, the new house has just been renovated, and I am worried that the wall in the living room is empty and I can’t think of anything to hang, your craftsmanship will shine brightly in the future, I have to do it as soon as possible Keep a pair and wait for the appreciation..."

"Hey!" Tao Defu heard what he said, punched the opponent's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You can do it! You have started hoarding our Xiaohe's goods so early? To tell you the truth, how about you Come on, I really want to keep this Guanyin statue as my own, it's so exquisite, I can't bear to sell it..."

"Don't! Xiaohe works in your store. It's not easy for you to keep a pair? What I just said is serious. Xiaohe, help me think about it. What kind of embroidery is better to hang on the living room wall of the new house? "The second half of the sentence, Boss Yuan said to He Wei.

He Wei thought about it carefully, and said: "It depends on what style Boss Yuan likes. Basically, the pictures that can be produced in traditional Chinese painting can also be produced in embroidery, such as the most common pictures of landscapes of mountains and rivers, waterfalls, horses and eight steeds, and flowers. It’s fine to have pictures of rich and noble peonies, and it’s more atmospheric. If there are few strangers coming in and out of the house, it’s also good to hang a family portrait..."

"Hey! That's a good idea! Let's just take a family portrait, a family portrait of four generations under the same roof, the old lady must be happy to see it, maybe she ran to my house every three days... But, will it be too difficult?"

While Boss Yuan was happy, he couldn't help worrying about whether He Wei could embroider it, or, whether it could be embroidered successfully.

After all, Avalokitesvara is a dead thing, and there are too many patterns that can be referred to, while the people in the family portrait are all real people, as long as one is not embroidered well, or the embroidery is unpopular, it may cause complaints from the person concerned.

What's more, his family is prosperous, there are seventeen or eighteen people in total.Even if I just draw it, I feel that one head and two are too big, not to mention that I have to embroider it stitch by stitch.

He Wei was also a little hesitant, not because she was unsure, but because it took too much effort.

The Avalokitesvara statue was not big, so she could take it home and make it secretly, but even so, it took her forty or fifty days.As for the family portrait, it is hung in the hall, so the size must not be too small, and it will not look good if it is too small. In this way, it may be difficult to use only the embroidery shed without the aid of the embroidery frame.

But if she came to Yuxiu Gexiu, she could only rely on weekends, and she was not sure that she could come every day off.

Tao Defu saw her hesitation, and asked: "Xiaohe, are you worried that such a large embroidery picture will be too slow to embroider? So that it delays Boss Yuan's use?"

"Yeah." He Wei nodded: "I can't guarantee that I can come to embroider every weekend, and even if I come every weekend, I guess it will have to wait until March or April next year to finish the embroidery."

When Boss Yuan heard that this was the reason for her hesitation, Asha waved her hand forcefully: "Hey, what am I talking about? What's the matter? You just embroider. When you finish embroidering, you can hand it over to me, and I will It’s not about moving right away, my wife said, the smell of paint just after the renovation is too strong, and there’s that formaldehyde, insist on ventilating for three to five months before moving in, or don’t worry about letting the old lady live there…”

That would be great.

As long as the time is not rushed, she is sure to embroider well.

He Wei happily accepted the order.

"Then it's settled. I'll pick out the most satisfying family portrait later. You fix the price and ask Lao Tao to invoice me so that I can send the money..."

Boss Yuan is also very hot-tempered. After talking about it, he held his extremely satisfied hand-embroidered Avalokitesvara and went back to Juxian Building to show off.

Tao Defu chased after him and asked, "No more framing?"

"I appreciate it enough and then send it over..."

Tao Defu couldn't help laughing, and when he returned to the office, he saw that the previous tea was cold, so he started another pot and chatted while drinking: "Xiaohe, there will be an antique calligraphy and painting exhibition on the street tomorrow, if you are interested If you don't, come over and have a look, I'll ask Zhou An to reserve a seat for you."

Tao Defu had an invitation, and the big boss who hadn't come to Qingshi for a long time to investigate, this time he didn't know what the wind was blowing, and he also said that he would come here. In this way, he must have little time to take care of He Wei.

Only then did He Wei remember that tomorrow is NO.18, and she still has a silk painting of red plum blossoms on snow that she made during the Yongqing period. She was waiting to make her first pot of gold with it, but she didn't expect it to be thanks to Mr. System , making her family a millionaire overnight, this silk painting is not going to be shown to the public, after all, it is her work when she was in her boudoir, and it is not a last resort, and she does not want to fall into the hands of outsiders.

But the antique calligraphy and painting exhibition can still be seen.So he accepted Tao Defu's invitation, and asked Zhou An to help reserve an extra seat, planning to bring He Xidong along.

He Xidong usually sets up a stall and has many opportunities to get in touch with antique calligraphy and painting, but his knowledge in this area is really lacking, and it is easy to be misjudged and missed by others. Since there is such a good opportunity, of course he cannot miss it.

……

Although the Antique Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition is held in the open air, it is set up on a platform that can shelter from the wind and rain, and the style is very close to today's theme: it is full of ancient charm and elegance.

As the exhibition time approached, relatively interesting or controversial antique calligraphy and paintings from various parties were successively presented on the stage.

The audience seats under the stage are also divided into grades.Rows [-] to [-] are VIP seats, and the guests who take the seats have received invitation letters in advance.The seats are all mahogany armchairs kindly provided by the nearby antique shop.

After the eighth row, there are ordinary seats. The seats are ordinary solid wood round stools. Although there are no restrictions on the identity and status of the guests, if the seats are full, they will not be allowed to enter the venue. I am afraid that there will be too many spectators and the noise will affect the audience. The distinguished guests in the front rows also interfered with the photographer's video shooting.

When the He Wei brothers and sisters arrived, there was still half an hour before they left the arena. Under the leadership of Zhou An, they came to a few seats in the middle of the tenth row, where the line of sight was not so obstructed.There were already a few guys from Yuxiu Pavilion sitting there, and when they saw He Wei, they greeted her one after another.

He Xidong was curious about how she got to know the guy at Yuxiu Pavilion, so He Wei said the reason she had thought up in advance: "Brother, do you still remember the time when I got separated from you last time? Wasn't I at the gate of Yuxiu Pavilion at that time?" Wait? Brother Zhou was on duty in the shop at the time, chatted with me for a while, and mentioned this antique calligraphy and painting exhibition, I jokingly asked him to save two seats for me, but he really remembered it."

Sitting next to the two siblings, Zhou An received the questioning look from He Xidong, and quickly showed a signature smile when receiving customers, and nodded cooperatively, saying: "Yes, yes, yes, I met Xiao He at that time. I saw her little girl is so interested in antique calligraphy and painting, so I helped to take up two seats, anyway, it doesn’t cost money.”

Only then did He Xidong let go of the suspicion in his heart.

He Wei sighed secretly, having a smart and sensitive elder brother is sometimes very stressful.

"That girl?"

When Gu Xu entered the arena, he saw He Wei who was chatting with his elder brother at a glance, and a few guys from Yuxiu Pavilion were sitting beside him, so he raised his chin and asked Tao Defu beside him.

"Yes." Tao Defu naturally answered every question, and added at the end: "The boy next to him is her brother, and he often comes to Yugu Alley to set up a stall to sell second-hand goods."

Gu Xu listened, raised his slender eyebrows, said nothing more, followed Tao Defu to the middle left seat in the first row and sat down, took out his mobile phone and played with it for a while, then turned around slightly, and aimed at He Wei very quickly. Take a one-light profile shot of just her.

When Tao Defu saw this scene, his eyeballs almost fell off.

The big boss secretly took pictures of the little embroiderers in his shop! ! !What is the meaning of this? Wow, his brain is not enough.

Gu Xu didn't raise his head, rubbing his chin and admiring the photos just taken. The 13-year-old girl has seen a lot of them, but besides these two, she can also have the classical ladylike beauty at the same time. It's really the first time I've seen someone with a quiet and gentle temperament.

Fortunately, my mobile phone has a built-in focus function, whether it is the angle or the expression, the capture is still in place, and finally I didn't take the picture.The only thing that feels awkward is probably the overly loose clothes on the other party, which can be seen as junior high school uniforms at a glance.But that's what's interesting.

Gu Xu pursed his lips and let out a low laugh. He dug out the address book, ticked all the contacts with the letter "A" in front of their names, then selected the group chat mode, and posted the freshly released photos to the group chat window, and left a message at the bottom: Come to Qingshi to accompany "future wife" to see the exhibition.
