There was a lot of noise and a group of people gathered in front of the bookstore.
In the center of the crowd, four or five scholars pointed at an old woman with white hair and beard.
The handsome scholar at the head was holding a new landscape painting in his hand, his eyes filled with anger and indignation.
"Shopkeeper, you took a fake painting that was obviously freshly painted and put it in the store pretending to be a real painting by Shuangyue Painter. Do you think we can't tell?"
"You still dare to criticize Shuangyue painter's immature Feng Shui painting. Even if it was painted by the master when he was young, it is a peak that you and I will never reach in our lifetime."
Ye Yun and others squeezed into the crowd to take a look, and found that the bookstore owner had a strange look on his face when he heard this. He was not angry at all, but couldn't laugh or cry.
Seeing that the shopkeeper showed no sign of repentance, the scholar became furious and wanted to tear up the painting directly.
Based on his own cultivation, he couldn't do it and threw the painting back.
"I'm sorry that readers like me cannot accept this bookstore that disrespects painters so much. I'm going to say goodbye!"
The other scholars also snorted, turned around and left.
Some of the people watching were familiar with the shopkeeper and spoke sympathetically to persuade him.
"Shopkeeper Su, even if you are eager to win back customers, you are too eager for success. Now it is completely impossible for those scholars to come to buy paper."
"Yes, if you can't keep it open, if you want to sell the shop, you will increase the cost and increase the rent, forcing you to close down."
Shopkeeper Su of the bookstore smiled bitterly and shook his head before picking up the painting on the ground.
Ye Yun picked it up first, held it in his hand and looked at it with the master and others.
"What's so interesting about the fake paintings? If there are other things you want to buy, just go into the store and have a look."
Shopkeeper Su reached out to take it back, but was dodged by them. He just thought they thought it was funny and turned around to enter the shop.
"The technique is sophisticated, and every brush stroke is full of vitality and charm, as if the mountains and rivers are close before your eyes, and the water is flowing and the mountains are breathing."
It's a pity that none of them have the vision to evaluate this painting. Only Qin Xian spoke calmly.
"Very calm, but not as wild as when I was young."
Shopkeeper Su turned around blankly. After seeing Qin Xian's face clearly, his pupils shrank and his breathing became slightly disordered.
"You, you are..."
Qin Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, "I didn't expect that the short-lived Su Shuangyue would hide here incognito."
"Now I'm just a down-and-out old woman who can't afford to open a shop."
Su Shuangyue stopped talking in time, smiled to herself, and turned back to the shop.
Ye Yun and others finally recovered from the incredible conversation between the two.
"What?!"
"She is Shuangyue Painter, so is this painting also authentic?"
The second sister Ye Qing took the landscape painting and looked back and forth excitedly.
Ye Yun hurriedly pulled the master and others into the shop.
"You can see for yourself what you want to buy. You don't have to talk about it if you want me to draw it, and you don't have to chat about it."
Su Shuangyue was very cold and didn't know what she was tinkering with behind the cabinet.
Ye Yun looked around the shop. There were two rows of large bookcases in the middle, and three large bookshelves on the left, right and back walls.
There are piles of books, papers, paintings, pens and ink placed on top, arranged in separate areas.
The bookstores in the town and even the two towns next door are more complete.
Su Shuangyue took out a pair of scissors, stretched out her hand towards Ye Qing, and said expressionlessly: "Bring me my painting."
"You want to destroy it? No way."
Seeing her like this, Ye Yun hurriedly asked the second sister to put away the painting.
"By the way, I bought your shop and the shop next door. You can-"
"Don't even think about it! I won't close the shop, let alone leave this yard, unless I die."
Su Shuangyue was very excited when she heard this. She changed the position of the scissors and pressed it against her neck.
"Don't get excited. If you have something to say, please talk to us. We don't mean that."
Gong Jingsong and others hurriedly gathered around and tried to persuade him.
Su Shuangyue glared at them coldly, and moved her scissors forward a little, "You are telling lies, get out of here, get out of here!"
Ye Yun frowned, pursed his lips, and shook his head at the masters who were pulling him out.
She scoffed and took a step forward.
"Well, you can commit suicide. If you die, it will be easier for me to take over this shop."
Su Shuangyue's expression became even more disgusting, but she unknowingly moved the scissors away.
Taking this opportunity, Qin Qian quickly snatched the scissors with quick eyes and hands.
Su Shuangyue's body went limp and she fell to the ground, looking desperate.
"What do you want me to do so that I can keep this shop? Even if it's painting, that's no problem."
She seems to be very resistant to taking up painting again, but she can resist it in order to keep her shop.
"Shopkeeper Su, I haven't finished speaking yet. You can continue to open the bookstore and stay in the shop as the shopkeeper. I won't charge you rent, as long as you give me 20% dividend every six months."
Ye Yun stretched out two fingers, nodded to the delighted Su Shuangyue with a smile, and continued.
"But I have a request. I want you to be my sister's and my wife's husband and teach us how to read and write. If you don't want to, that's fine. It's two different things from sharing the dividends."
Su Shuangyue turned her head unexpectedly and looked at them.
"Little sister, we are already this old and still a woman, what is the use of studying and learning calligraphy?"
The three Ye Wan sisters were puzzled, and Ye Niang also felt that this matter was unnecessary.
"Yes, it will be very tiring to open a ready-made clothing store and read and write. Yaonv, opening a store is more important."
"Books are like medicine. Good reading can cure stupidity. There is no great or small knowledge, no male or female. Those who are capable are respected."
Ye Yun looked at them with a serious face and explained seriously.
"Mom, sisters, I'm not asking you to become great talents, at least you should know what you are doing."
"Also, we are despised as women, but we can't really think that women are useless and inferior."
Ye Wan and others remembered what they had just said, and remembered the dislike and favoritism of their parents since childhood, and their cheeks turned red.
"Mom, sisters, your life can be short or long, just stay in a small town?"
Seeing that they had relaxed, Ye Yun kept up his efforts.
"Let's make our shop bigger and stronger and open it all over the world. Can we do it if we don't have any goods? The more money, the better. Let's travel around the world together."
What she was thinking was that the second sister liked painting and had talent. If Su Shuangyue caught her eye, someone would be able to record them during their future travels.
After Ye Yun finished speaking passionately, he realized that the shop was extremely quiet.
The master and the others all looked at her, and she felt a little shy.
Is it too much to brag?
"You are very good. You are the woman with the most unique ideas I have ever seen."
Su Shuangyue's eyes flashed with strange light, as if she had discovered some rare species.
Ye Yun scratched his face and waved his hands wildly for a rare moment of modesty. Seeing his mother and the others were silent for a long time, he said again.
"Mom, sisters, don't feel embarrassed. I don't want you to do it just because of me. If you don't want us to learn, it's not a big deal."
"No, let's learn!"
Ye Wan and the others suddenly raised their heads, looked at each other, and said firmly.
Ye Yun nodded vigorously in response, and was hugged tightly by her mother. She was helpless and skillfully wiped her tears to comfort her.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Yaonv is right, and my mother should follow suit. We don't want to be extremely ignorant throughout our lives."
Ye Yun also received Su Shuangyue's nod of agreement, and his smile immediately brightened.
Gong Jingsong and the three of them also looked at each other and smiled.
