A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 517 Make the Best Use of Everything
Not to mention the rouge shop, who doesn't love the girls in Beijing.The reason why Xu Chenfang chose to open a calligraphy and painting shop is because he has a lot of calligraphy and painting collections in his hands, and now they finally have a place to use them.

It is said that many of them are written by King Wu of Yin.

Meng Yan was shocked and said: "When did you have so many calligraphy and paintings as my husband, why didn't I know?"

Xu Chenfang laughed twice, and said, "Go back and ask your husband."

After bidding farewell to Xu Chenfang, Meng Yan and Yin Heng sat in the carriage. During this period, they were delicate and strong and hungry, so they fed them again in the carriage.

Yin Heng was beside her, holding the child in his hand, with dark and shallow silhouettes, but slightly frowning as he watched the child suck hard.

He couldn't bear to use his strength, but he was pushed so hard by these two.

Meng Yan focused all her attention on the painting that Xu Chenfang was talking about, and asked, "Are you drawing the paintings in Xu Chenfang's hands?"

Yin Heng stared at the two of them closely, and said "hmm" casually.

"It's no wonder that Xu Chenfang smiled so proudly just now, it's as if gold can flow out of laughter." Meng Yan said, "Why are you painting so many for him, that profiteer must use your paintings to make money what."

King Yin Wu continued to stare, but didn't pay attention, and replied simply: "At that time, there was a shortage of money."

Meng Yan asked, "When were you short of money?"

King Yin Wu was still staring at him, and replied, "When I married you."

Probably Meng Yan was also a little surprised that he answered all questions and was so forthright, but when she inadvertently raised her eyes, she saw Yin Heng lowered her eyes, followed his gaze, looked down, fell silent, and raised her hand to cover his chest. eyes.

King Yin Wu's eyes darkened, he paused, and said: "Let them be gentle."

Meng Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, and said softly between her brows, "How can they understand this?"

In this room, after everyone had left, the lively courtyard became deserted again.

Xu Chenfang gathered her clothes and sat down on the swing, and he leaned lazily to one side, then reclined.

As the swing swayed, the corner of the clothes danced in the wind.

In addition to the congratulatory gifts from Yin Heng and Huang Yun, the shopkeeper also received a lot of congratulatory gifts in the front hall.

After all, for more than half a year, Xu Chenfang has been walking around in the capital, and if he doesn't get to know some people, his shop will not be able to open.

The shopkeeper sent all the congratulatory gifts to the backyard for Xu Shenfang to have a look.

Everything is clearly visible on the list.

Then Xu Chenfang opened the congratulatory gift from Yin Heng, and saw that it was a very delicate wishful thinking abacus, and the beads on it were all clear emerald beads.

He plucked it lightly, and it made a very pleasant clear sound like a musical sound.

------------

Meng Yan was thinking about the opening of Xu Shenfang's calligraphy and painting shop, and asked Chongyi to secretly inquire about the opening date without Xu Shenfang being aware of it.

She remembered that when she and Yin Heng went to the warehouse that night, she knocked over a box of pearls, and went to take out the box of pearls when she had time.

The pearls are round and bright, very plump and beautiful.And the texture is uniform and the size is about the same, about the size of a jujube.

Lian Yan'er couldn't help admiring: "I've never seen so many big pearls when I grow up. What kind of clam must be able to drop them."

Chongyi said: "No matter what kind of clam, there is no such thing as panic."

Meng Yan picked up two of them to play with, and said: "No matter how good the beads are, they would be wasted if they were dusted in the corner. Besides, these things are consumables, and their value will slowly disappear with the passage of time. You have to take advantage of them." It’s still bright for the eyes, and it’s best to make the best use of everything.”

Yan'er was puzzled and said, "Why does the value disappear? Such a good pearl is not cheap."

Meng Yan said: "This is not real gold and silver, of course it will deteriorate. As time goes on, this pearl will gradually dehydrate and turn yellow, and become dull. Otherwise, how did you say the word 'people's old pearl yellow'?"

Both Yan'er and Chongyi looked stunned.

On this day, Yin Heng went out on the front foot, and Meng Yan also went out on the back foot.

She brought Chongyi and Yan'er, and the three of them were dressed in simple and neat youthful attire.

The clothes are all borrowed from Chongyi, because most of her clothes are gender-neutral, once she wears them on her body and her hair is tied up, she looks much fresher.

Seeing this, the housekeeper only asked, "Is the princess going out?"

Meng Yan said, "Go out and do some errands."

The housekeeper also thoughtfully prepared carriages and horses.

When they reached the corner of the street, the three of them got out of the carriage and stood in the corner for a while. When they looked up, they could see that the calligraphy and painting shop diagonally opposite was hung with red silk and was about to open today.

Could it be Xu Shenfang's shop.

Chongyi found out clearly that the shopkeeper of this shop is an unfamiliar face.

Chongyi asked: "What if that bitch is here?"

Meng Yan said: "Most likely he's not here, even if he is, he won't show up. That profiteer is cunning, and he knows to keep a low profile since he arrived in the capital. On that day when the medicine shop opened, he never showed up in the front hall from the beginning to the end, and handed it over to the shopkeeper." Take care of him, and be his behind-the-scenes boss."

After a pause, he analyzed the situation and said: "If the shopkeeper wants to go to the backyard with an excuse, it may be that the profiteer is in the backyard, and he has to report to him. At that time, we can hold him back and not let him go."

Chongyi and Yan'er nodded together: "Yes."

When the shop opened, as soon as the gongs and drums were beat and the firecrackers were set off, Meng Yan pulled the hem of his clothes, walked over there.

There was a burst of smoke in front of the shop door, and red firecracker paper was scattered in front of the door.

Before the string of firecrackers was set off, the three of Meng Yan covered their ears and ran into the gate in a hurry.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that a customer would come to the door before he started to ask, so he asked, "Guest officer, are you here to buy calligraphy and painting?"

Meng Yan smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that you have the Danqing handwriting of King Yin Wu here."

The shopkeeper said: "The shop hasn't been announced to the public yet, how did the guest officer know about it?"

Meng Yan said: "Everyone is in the industry. If you have any treasures here, there will always be some rumors. Don't be naughty, just take out the things."

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, and said: "Since I came here for King Yin Wu's calligraphy, I must know the goods, so I won't go around in circles."

After speaking, he went to the inner room to take out a beautiful scroll brocade box, and opened it in front of Meng Yan.

As the painting scroll unfolds, the painting environment inside is gradually presented.

No matter how familiar Meng Yan is with Yin Heng's handwriting, even if his brushwork is careless, the painting is naturally a vast and clear world.

She recognized the painting as soon as she recognized it, and it was indeed drawn by her husband.

The shopkeeper looked at Meng Yan's expression, and said: "This painting is going to be opened today, with 3000 taels of silver as the base, and the highest bidder will get it. If the guest officer really wants it, he will sell it to the customer for 5000 taels." Officer, how about no more bids?"

Meng Yan said: "The shopkeeper is a straightforward person."

She glanced at Chongyi, and Chongyi took out something and put it on the table.

The shopkeeper saw that there were three pearls.
