Chapter 629 Selling Paintings or Buying Wine
Yu Yao waited for Pu Jie to tidy up, put the brocade box into the safe at the back, and then stepped forward to open the door.

To Yu Yao's surprise, there was a girl standing outside the door, with a ponytail and a big forehead, but with delicate features, she could be regarded as a beautiful woman.

"Who are you? Are you looking for someone?" Yu Yao asked standing at the door.

"Is this an antique shop?"

"Yes, but it's closed. How about you come back tomorrow?"

Although the self-warming cup has been put away, Yu Yao is still very careful, let alone a stranger.

"I'm not shopping, I have something to sell. You should collect things here, right?" The girl said, shaking the bag in her hand. It looks like a badminton racket bag, but it's obviously not a badminton racket inside, because The round end didn't stand up.

Yu Yao took a look at this girl, she was only in her early twenties, she was more like a college student, there was nothing bad about her.

However, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, how could she come here to sell antiques?What's more, the curtains and curtains were drawn in the store, and the door was locked, so she still knocked on the door?

"What? You, Geguzhai, are rich and powerful, and you don't even do business when you come to your door?" Seeing that Yu Yao didn't speak, the girl couldn't help but raise her voice and added.

"Who says not to do it? Please come in!" Pu Jie came forward at this time.

At the same time as he stepped forward, Pu Jie patted Yu Yao's shoulder, "If we don't do business, it seems like we have ghosts."

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Okay, please come in."

Unexpectedly, the girl laughed as she entered the store, "You two...couldn't it be?"

Yu Yao coughed, "Sit down and watch something." But he thought in his heart, it seems that he is really a student who made such a joke when they first met.

The girl sat down at the Eight Immortals table, but did not immediately open the racket bag, but took a deep breath, "Did you drink just now?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you want to sell, right?" Yu Yao replied.

"Good wine! I asked about the scent right outside the door!"

Pu Jie was standing at the door just about to light a cigarette, but when he heard this, he walked over without lighting, "You also like drinking?"

"From the taste of the wine, it looks like the base of rice wine, but it is by no means ordinary rice wine. In other words, it is impossible to have such a good wine on the market, otherwise it would not have such a strong aroma, and according to this aroma, you warm Been to the bar?"

Yu Yao and Pu Jie looked at each other.This nose is simply amazing!
"You didn't come in because you smelled alcohol, did you?" Pu Jie looked at the girl, then at the racket bag, "Do you have any antiques to sell?"

"I didn't expect such a good wine in a small antique shop." The girl replied vaguely, and lifted the racket bag to the Eight Immortals table, "Then let's have a look first!"

Yu Yao didn't speak, but just nodded.

What the girl took out was a scroll.

"Give me a hand." The girl pinched the shaft and stood up.

Yu Yao also stood up and stretched back.

This is a picture of drinking alone under the Taibai moon.

It outlines the image of Li Bai.There was a full moon in the sky, and there were several flowers and plants around. Li Bai raised his glass to invite the moon, with an extremely chic posture.

A pot of wine in the flower room, no blind date for a drink alone.Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and face the shadow of three people.

A large area of ​​the screen is left blank, and one side is signed in running script: Autumn of [-], Zhuzhuang Shangguan Zhou.

There are two seals, one is "Shangguan Zhouyin" and the other is "Zhuzhuang".

"Shangguan Zhou?" Yu Yao let out a slight sound.

"Is it a good thing?" The girl smiled slightly.

"I'll take another look. Put it on the counter!"

"Okay." The girl agreed, and after putting down the painting, Yu Yao continued to look at it, but she walked up to Pu Jie, "Mr. Big Man, what kind of wine are you drinking?"

Pu Jie brushed her curly hair, "My surname is Pu, not Da."

"Okay, Boss Pu, what kind of wine are you drinking?"

"I'm not the boss either. I really can't see that a beauty like you also likes to drink?" Pu Jie tilted his head.

The girl suddenly stopped talking.

Pu Jie laughed twice, and pointed to the rice wine and wine on the table, "That's the only two."

"Impossible! These two wines can't produce this kind of aroma."

"What did I lie to you for?"

······
Yu Yao focused his energy on the painting, and didn't pay much attention to what the two of them were talking about.

This Shangguan Zhou was a famous painter in the early Qing Dynasty, especially figure paintings, which can be described as unique.

In the early Qing Dynasty, landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting were relatively prosperous, and they also had representative figures; but figure painting declined somewhat.This Shangguan Zhou is the most eye-catching celebrity.

Shangguan Zhou, courtesy name Wenzuo, nicknamed Zhuzhuang, was born in a peasant family and spent his whole life as a commoner.

The biggest feature of Shangguan Zhou's figure paintings is the chic brushwork.Although he is a commoner, his reputation is not small, and the Qing court also paid great attention to his figure paintings.The famous "Kangxi Southern Tour Map" was ordered by the imperial court to let Shangguan Zhou cooperate with Wang Yuanqi and Wang Shigu.

At the same time, Shangguan Zhou also had certain attainments in landscape painting, and he had a famous apprentice, Huang Shen, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".

There are many handed down works of Shangguan Zhou, but there are not many high-quality works, and many of them are random paintings.

His most famous work handed down from generation to generation is "Immortal Residence on Yao Island", which depicts the image of the Eight Immortals, and it was sold for more than 200 million yuan just a few years ago.

He also has a collection called "Lan Xiaotang Painting Biography", which depicts embroidered portraits of 120 historical figures.In the eighth year of Qianlong's reign, famous craftsmen carved blocks for this collection, published it, and divided it into two volumes. It became one of the important copies for many painters in the Qing Dynasty to study figure painting.

This book is now also published.Because it was drawn by Shangguan Zhou based on historical data, and each embroidered portrait is accompanied by words of praise, so many people also bought it as a study material other than painting.

When Yu Yao finished watching, Pu Jie and the girl stopped chatting.The girl didn't believe it was the aroma from the rice wine and red wine on the table, but Pu Jie naturally wouldn't say much, so in the end she simply didn't ask, and just waited for Yu Yao to finish reading.

Yu Yao gently rolled up the painting, handed it to the girl, and asked at the same time:

"What price?"

The girl took the scroll, "Sell goods and know the family, you look at it!"

Yu Yao smiled, walked slowly to the door, and lit a cigarette.Because a young girl came in, but there were two old men in the store, so the store door was kept open after she came in.

"You should go out to save time." Yu Yao said indifferently.

The girl weighed the scroll in her hand, "Here's the painting. Actually, I originally wanted to sell it at Seven Star Bridge tomorrow. I passed by here tonight after having dinner with my friends. I found that your plaque is well written, so I took a closer look." Look, when we got to the door, we could smell the aroma of wine..."

Yu Yao frowned, but did not interrupt.

"How about this, you sell me some of the wine you drank just now, and I can give you this painting cheaply!"

Pu Jie and Yu Yao looked at each other, and Pu Jie blurted out, "Beauty, are you here to sell paintings or to buy wine?"
