It was bold, but she wouldn't be able to jump to such a high roof without Lu Ren taking her with him.
Wen Yu thought for a while and left Anxiang Tower very simply, preparing to return to the carriage.
It wasn't safe for her to stand alone here. If something happened, she might be the unlucky one.
The carriage stopped in a neighboring street, and when Wen Yu was about to approach, a figure caught her attention.
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows, turned around, and headed towards the painting stall.
Wen Yu's eyes brightened when she saw the paintings hanging on the painting stall clearly.
Wen Yu may not understand other things, but she understands painting.
"The painting is really good. How can I sell this painting?"
Wen Yu looked at the stall owner with a smile.
The stall owner saw that Wen Yu was obviously a little stunned, and quickly showed a slight smile: "Miss, what a coincidence."
Wen Yu's brows moved slightly: "Do you know me?"
"Why don't you recognize me? The young lady just took off her hat."
The owner of this painting stall is Yue Lingfeng, a scholar from Wenwen Teahouse.
At this time, he had changed out of his patched clothes and put on light blue regular clothes, a common attire for scholars.
Although it is ordinary, when it is worn on him, it makes him look like a gentleman, elegant and elegant.
But there are still traces of illness hanging between his eyebrows, which have not dissipated.
Wen Yu did not ask him how he recognized her, but asked: "How come you started selling paintings here? Two hundred taels are not enough?"
Yue Lingfeng shook his head: "Miss, I just think that you taught me how to fish instead of teaching me how to fish, so I used my money to buy this painting stall."
Wen Yu was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "You have really high ideological awareness."
She picked up a picture of mountains and rivers and asked, "How much does this one cost?"
"Three cents. If Miss likes it, I will give it to you."
Wen Yu was surprised: "Sanwen? So cheap? You draw so well!"
Yue Lingfeng smiled and said nothing.
Wen Yu really felt that the paintings were so good that modern masters of traditional Chinese painting could only admit that they were children in front of these paintings.
The character of this painting is not known to outsiders.
Wen Yu picked three of her favorite paintings, put ten taels of silver on the stall, and then turned and left.
Yue Lingfeng lowered his eyes and stared at the heavy silver, then picked it up and chased after it.
"Miss, it's too much. Three paintings are worth eleven cents. The price is clearly marked. I will never take more."
Wen Yu turned around with the painting in her arms and said with a smile: "Just treat it as an investment in you. I think your painting will be very valuable in the future. You may not be able to buy it even if you have money."
Yue Lingfeng was stunned.
"But miss...they are only worth eleven cents now."
Wen Yu said nonchalantly: "Value is given by people. I think your painting is valuable."
As she said something, she thought about it, her eyes moved, and there was a hint of joking in the corner of her mouth: "If you really think that I have suffered a loss, so be it. You promise me to do something that cannot be refused."
Yue Lingfeng seemed a little surprised that Wen Yu made this request. After thinking for a while, he asked, "What did the lady say?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it. But if I say it, you can't refuse me. Do you agree?"
"Then if the lady asks me to kill someone..."
"No, it's definitely not illegal or criminal."
Yue Lingfeng looked at the smile on Wen Yu's face, his eyes trembled, and he said solemnly: "Okay, I promise, miss."
His tone was very solemn: "I will sell paintings here every day from now on. If you think about it, you can come to me here."
"Okay." Wen Yu patted the painting in her arms and was very satisfied, "This transaction is worth it!"
Yue Lingfeng looked at Wen Yu's leaving figure, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
Where in the world are there no friends?
After saying goodbye to Yue Lingfeng, Wen Yu took a stroll on the street.
She sighed in her heart, isn't this an ancient version of prosperity and stability?
"How much does this hairpin cost?"
"...It's not worth anything. I'll give it to you."
Wen Yu had a question mark: "Send it to me? No merit, no reward, why give it to me? I have money."
The stall owner was a young man, his cheeks were a little red: "I won't charge you any money."
Wen Yu:......
Noticing his red face, Wen Yu looked around again and caught some sneaky and admiring glances.
Because these glances were not uncomfortable and aggressive, Wen Yu did not react for a while.
Okay, I get it, it’s just that she’s too beautiful.
Just as Wen Yu was about to return to the carriage, an old lady walked tremblingly in front of her. She fell to the ground in the next second and fainted holding her legs.
Wen Yu:?
"Are you okay?"
The old lady didn't move at all.
Seeing this, Wen Yu pulled her leg back and found that she couldn't move it.
Wen Yu:......
What does it mean?
But it was obvious that there were more and more people watching around, and some who didn't know what was going on were even whispering and guessing.
Wen Yu snorted in her heart when she saw this, probably knowing what the old lady wanted to do.
At first, she didn't say anything and held her in her arms, refusing to let her go. When there were more people watching, if she wanted to say anything, just by opening her mouth, she might just throw dirty water on her.
As for the purpose...
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows and looked down at the old lady pretending to be dead.
She squatted down pretending, and then nodded: "Oh, oh, that's right, I understand, don't worry."
The old lady grabbed Wen Yu's hand and moved obviously. She raised her head as if she had just woken up and was about to speak.
Wen Yu clapped her hands preemptively and said loudly: "Everyone, this old lady just told me that there were gangsters in her family, and her husband, son, daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, and grandson-in-law were hacked to death by the gangsters to protect her! "
"She finally ran out and hoped that I could help her go to Dali Temple to report the crime, but now I am being held by her and can't walk away. Can any kind person go to Dali Temple to report the crime and bring the officials to rescue this old lady? I am very grateful. !”
The onlookers were in an uproar.
"Me! I'm going right now!"
"And me! I'm going too!"
"How could such a heartless thing happen! Take me with you and I will go too!"
Wen Yu clasped her fists: "Thank you! Thank you so much! Thank you to the kindhearted people!"
old lady:……
Wen Yu looked like she had just realized that she was awake, and said in surprise: "Ah! The old lady has regained consciousness and can hold her head up! How about we work together and send the old lady to Dali Temple directly!"
"It would be a waste of time for the provincial officials to come and go. It would be bad if the gangster ran away and caused trouble to other people's homes! Who knows what this gangster will do?"
"That's what the girl said!"
"This gangster cannot be allowed to continue wandering around!"
"Yes, hurry up and catch the criminals quickly!"
"Then let's send this old lady to Dali Temple together!"
"Take me one!"
"I am coming too!"
"Okay! Let's go together then!"
old lady:……
The old lady was helped up by various hands.
"I won't go to Dali Temple! She is a liar. She lied to you! There are no gangsters! My family is fine and there are no gangsters. I won't go to Dali Temple!"
Just when Wen Yu was about to say something more, she heard well-meaning people trying to persuade her: "How could a liar send you to Dali Temple? It's not bad for you, and it's not good for her either."
"That's right, old lady, don't be afraid of the gangster's revenge. You must arrest her! If you commit such a big case, you will definitely be beheaded!"
"Yes, yes, how can such a beautiful girl be a liar?"
old lady:……
