Chapter 68
After lunch, Rujin asked Qingbi to take the things prepared along the way and arrived at the main hall.

Mu An and the others were already waiting in the main hall.

"Butler An, just let the five of them stay at the inn." Rujin ordered lightly.

Mu An nodded: "Miss, can you go to Master Wei's residence?"

Ru Jinmei rolled her eyes and shook her head: "Get in the carriage first, and talk about where to go later."

Mu An was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. He bowed his hands and went out of the inn first, leading the carriage.

"Go to the most prosperous street in Shengjing first." Ru Jin ordered after getting into the carriage.

"Yes." Mu An knew that his duty was to protect Miss Er comprehensively, and he only had to obey for the rest.

After traveling for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped.

"Second Miss, this is the busiest street in Shengjing." Anyone who has been to Shengjing knows that this Jingdu street is the most bustling and bustling.

Rujin raised the curtain of the carriage, got out of the carriage with Qingbi's support, and looked around the street. The houses are brand new and very exquisite. Both sides of the street are full of stalls, and pedestrians are constantly coming and going. It is indeed the most prosperous city in Shengjing zone.

Rujin sized it up for a moment, then pointed to a slightly empty space on the left and said, "Qingbi, choose it there, and follow the plan."

Qingbi nodded, and walked towards the place pointed by Rujin.

"Housekeeper An, you park the carriage in a safe place and guard it. Luyao and I are in the teahouse opposite Qingbi."

After Mu An agreed, Luyao supported her and walked towards the teahouse.

Qingbi walked to the place pointed by Rujin, stopped, looked around, squatted down, put the long brocade box in her hand on the ground, opened it, and inside was a picture scroll.

Qingbi slowly spread out the scroll, which was 30 meters long and about [-] meters wide.

"Everyone, come and have a look. Here I have a painted picture of clear mountains, clouds and waters. The painting is exquisite and natural. It is a rare masterpiece..."

Before Qingbi finished speaking, many pedestrians came over.

Yuyuan Kingdom pays attention to talents, and Shengjing is the land of the emperor. There are many literati and scholars. When they heard that there was a picture of Qingshan Yunshui, they all gathered around to have a look.

Qingshan Yunshui map is an extremely difficult type of landscape painting, let alone painted.

"It must have taken a lot of effort to be so long and wide. At a glance, it really seems to be a natural thing."

"It is indeed a good painting. The mountains are continuous, which not only has the meaning of steep mountains, but also has the feeling of plains."

"Yes, there is also this cloud, which is both brilliant in color and light as cotton, which is rare and rare!"

"This high mountain and flowing water are so clear that you can see the bottom. There are turbulent flows, some trickles, and some rippling waves. What a beautiful lake and mountains."

"There is also this tree, tall and straight, lush and lush, it is really a top-quality picture of clear mountains and clouds."

"Yeah yeah……"

"Girl, do you want to sell this painting?" an elegant scholar asked.

Qingbi nodded with a smile: "Exactly, if anyone here is interested, he can offer a price. If it is reasonable, he will sell this painting to him."

"Girl, I'll offer 200 taels." Someone said immediately.

"Such a superb product, only 200 taels." Then someone said rather contemptuously: "Girl, I'll give you 2000 taels."

"Even if it is said to be a superb product, why is it only worth 2000 taels...Girl, I will offer 5000 taels."

"Five thousand five hundred taels..."

"6000 taels..."

"7000 taels..."

"Two million taels..."

The surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent, and they actually shouted 1 taels.

The one who called out 1 taels was an old man in a gray robe, looking very energetic.

Qingbi looked at the old man: "Old man, you want to pay 1 taels to buy this painting of clear mountains, waters and clouds."

The old man nodded: "Exactly, is the girl willing?"

"Grandpa, can I ask you, what is your uncle's last name?"

The old man twirled his beard and asked, "Girl, what does this have to do with buying this painting?"

Qingbi smiled: "I don't know, the old man, my girl got this painting by accident, but the girl said that she is a commoner girl, she doesn't know how to preserve this painting, and she is worried that it will be ruined, so she wants to sell it to a jade artist." A well-known literati in the Yuan Dynasty... So if you want to buy this painting, you don't need a high price of 1 taels, but you have to let my girl know the origin of the person who bought the painting. If the girl thinks that the person who bought the painting can match this painting Will transfer this painting."

The old man frowned: "Oh...that's really interesting, where is your girl now?"

"My girl is at the teahouse opposite, does the old man want to meet my girl in person?"

The old man nodded: "Miss Lao will lead the way."

"Please wait a moment, old man." After Qingbi said, she squatted down, rolled up the painting carefully, and put it into the brocade box.

Looking at the old man again: "Old Master, please follow me."

The old man nodded and followed Qingbi to the opposite teahouse, and a man in Tsing Yi also went with him.

Seeing this, the onlookers dispersed one after another. Although there were elegant guests who really wanted to get the painting, they were reluctant to part with the 1 taels of silver.

Qingbi led the old man and the man in Tsing Yi into the teahouse, Luyao greeted them, and led them to the private room upstairs.

"Miss, this old man wants to buy paintings." After entering the private room, Qingbi pointed to the old man and reported to Rujin.

Rujin nodded, got up, and looked at the old man who was walking forward, about sixty years old, but very healthy and energetic, wearing a gray brocade robe, with a jade pendant pinned to his waist, and the word "Yin" could be seen faintly.

It seems that her plan has succeeded, Rujin thought, with a slight smile on her lips, she bowed to the old man to show her courtesy: "The old man wants to buy this painting?"

The old man looked at Rujin, sized him up, and nodded appreciatively, this little girl was quite interesting.

"It's the old man who wants to buy this painting, is the little girl willing to sell this painting to the old man?"

"Grandpa, please sit down first." Ru Jin waved his hand, inviting the old man to take a seat.

The old man nodded, followed Ru Jin's lead, and sat down.

Rujin also sat down, turned to the old man, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Qingbi also told you that Rujin just wanted to find a good owner for this painting, and didn't really want to sell it."

"Rujin..." The old man stroked his white beard: "Hmm...a good name...Little girl, are you from Jiangnan?"

Ru Jin was slightly puzzled, and nodded: "Ru Jin is from the south of the Yangtze River, how can the old man find out?"

"This girl just called you Miss. Very few places in Yuyuan Country call the master Miss, and some rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River call you like that. Besides, you are all dressed in Jiangnan Textile, and you are so beautiful! Your appearance shows that you are a little girl from the south of the Yangtze River."
