The little girl of the general's house

Chapter 1374 Selling Paintings
Li Yujiao smiled politely at the shopkeeper: "To be honest, I'm not here today to buy or sell things, but I want to ask the shopkeeper about something. I wonder if the shopkeeper has time?"

The shopkeeper's gaze swept away from the scar on Li Yujiao's face, then looked at the customers in the shop in twos and threes, and said, "Yes, I just happen to be not busy right now. If I am busy, I can't."

"Understood, thank the shopkeeper here first."

The shopkeeper raised his hand: "Young lady, please."

Ever since she came out of Baihualou, Li Yujiao has always been wearing a ponytail, so people who don't know her background will regard her as an old girl who can't get married.

She followed the shopkeeper to the counter, and the shopkeeper began to sort out today's accounts, and asked while sorting, "Young lady, don't you mind?"

"Of course not." Li Yujiao shook her head and started to ask about the business, "Miss from Chengnan family, do you know if the shopkeeper is familiar?"

"I know, but I'm not familiar with it. I receive all the female customers who come to the store. Generally, I have the impression that Miss Fang comes two or three times a month."

"That's great. I just want to ask you about Miss Fang."

After hearing Li Yujiao's words, the shopkeeper couldn't help raising his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Can I ask why the girl inquired about Miss Fang?"

Li Yujiao told the truth about her identity: "Actually, I am from the yamen. I know that you, the shopkeeper, may find it strange that there are women working in the yamen, but this badge can prove my identity. Please take a look."

As Li Yujiao said, she took out a small wooden sign from her sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took a look at it, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect the girl to be proficient in this way, it's really amazing."

Li Yujiao smiled, and continued to ask: "Every time Miss Fang comes to your bookstore, does she come alone? Is she here to buy books or paintings or what?"

"No, female customers like them usually don't come alone, they are always accompanied by someone, I think it should be her maid. As for every time she comes, she buys books, buys paintings or sells paintings."

"Selling paintings?" Li Yujiao frowned, "She shouldn't be short of money, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Of course there is no shortage of money. Every time she buys paintings from me, the price is very high."

"If that's the case, then why does she still sell paintings?" Li Yujiao thought for a while and said, "Could it be because she likes to paint, so after she paints a painting, she uses trading to appraise the value of her work?"

"What?" the shopkeeper stopped what he was doing, sighed slightly and shook his head, "Actually, every time Ms. Fang deposits paintings with me, they are not worth much. I also see that she often buys books and paintings from me. , and it cost a lot of money, so I bought those paintings by the way. In fact, those paintings are usually not sold in my shop, and they take up a lot of my space."

"Then can I see those paintings?"

"Okay," the shopkeeper responded quickly, and then suddenly said after taking two steps, "By the way, may I ask, what happened to Miss Fang?"

"Oh, it's not convenient to disclose at the moment, so I can't say it, I hope you understand."

"Understood, understood!" The shopkeeper walked out of the counter and took Li Yujiao to the place where the paintings and calligraphy were stored at the back.

He took Li Yujiao to the innermost corner, pointed to the first floor of the bookshelf, and said, "It's all here."

Li Yujiao took a few pictures out and looked at them. Although she didn't have the ability to appreciate traditional Chinese paintings, she still found a piece of useful information...
