As soon as I sat down and drank a cup of tea, the door to the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a strong bookish aura came in. His eyes showed that he was a shrewd businessman.
"Sir, are you going to paint? I don't know how to call you."
Qi Chuchu smiled calmly, "Mr. Qingfeng."
"I wonder what's going on here, shopkeeper?"
Xu Zhou nodded slightly and introduced Dan Moxuan's rules for collecting paintings. The minimum price for a painting is ten taels of silver. If it is a masterpiece by a famous artist, the highest price can be over a thousand taels of silver.
"Master, have you brought the painting over?"
Qi Chuchu shook his head and said, "I remember that the lowest-priced painting in Danmoxuan was sold for fifty taels. You really are making huge profits here."
"I didn't bring any paintings here today, I just inquired about the market situation."
Just asking? The person in front of me seems to have never been seen before. Although he is dressed in a low-key manner, it can be seen that the material is also expensive. Is he a new painter? Xu Zhou thought like this and didn't ask Qi Chuchu any more questions.
Qi Chuchu said goodbye and left, and went directly to Ruomengwu with Qianyu, which would be officially opened in three days.
After finishing all this, Qi Chuchu called Qian Yu to come over and said, "Wait a while, you go outside to find some scholars and small businessmen, and ask them to go to various poetry and painting workshops in the Eastern Capital to buy Master Qingfeng's paintings. Remember, ask them to connect Go for seven days.”
"Yes, princess."
Qian Yu took a bag of copper coins and went out to do errands, and Qi Chuchu checked it many times in Ruomengwu.
When she returned to the palace, Zhaoruo was waiting for her in Luanqi Pavilion.
Seeing Qi Chuchu's outfit, Zhaoruo was stunned for a moment, "Chu Chu, why are you dressed like this?"
"When you go out to do errands, it's safer to wear men's clothing. Why did you come to see me?" Qi Chuchu affectionately pulled Zhaoruo to sit down again.
It's just that Zhaoruo seemed to be hesitant to speak and seemed not very interested.
Qi Chuchu guessed it was because of Qin Yu, so he asked Zhaoruo.
Sure enough, the guess was right.
"Chu Chu, Qin Yu's cousin is really... irritating! But why can't he see that she's just faking it!" Zhao Ruo complained angrily.
"How about I help you give her a try?"
Zhaoruo was a little confused, but after hearing Qi Chuchu say that he planned to invite Qin Yu and his cousin to go on an outing together, he understood a little better.
When sending Zhaoruo away, he happened to bump into Mu Chenduan and his seventh brother Mu Chenxuan, so Qi Chuchu also told them.
The day after tomorrow, a group of people gathered in front of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Qi Chuchu finally met Qin Yu’s cousin, Liu Ruyan.
"See you, Prince, Princess, Princess Zhaoruo." Liu Ruyan bowed politely.
Mu Chenxuan had never seen her before, so he spoke frankly, "Is this Brother Qin's sweetheart? Will you travel with us today?"
Zhaoruo immediately glared at Mu Chenxuan, his eyes were like knives.
Liu Ruyan was shy and did not speak. Qi Chuchu immediately said, "General Qin, why don't I introduce you to my cousin?"
"Your Highness Prince Xuan, this is our cousin Liu Ruyan."
"It turns out she's my cousin..." Mu Chenxuan said in a daze.
Several people then set off in a car. Mu Chenxuan and Zhao Ruo rode together, Qin Yu and Liu Ruyan rode together, and Mu Chenduan and Qi Chuchu also rode together.
About an hour later, the group of them arrived at a lake on the outskirts of Dongdu.
Qi Chuchu paid special attention to Qin Yu and Liu Ruyan. Qin Yu seemed to be behaving properly, but Liu Ruyan...
When she got off the carriage, she accidentally fell onto Qin Yu who was holding her arm.
"I'm really sorry, cousin, Ruyan just didn't see his feet clearly for a moment." Liu Ruyan said.
"Liu Ruyan?!" Zhaoruo shouted angrily and rushed over. Seeing this, Qi Chuchu hurriedly ran to pull Zhaoruo.
"Princess, why are you so aggressive? Could it be that Ruyan did something wrong? Then Ruyan will apologize to you." Liu Ruyan said pitifully, and slowly stood up and was about to kneel down.
Qin Yu couldn't figure out his thoughts for a moment, but he still stopped Liu Ruyan from kneeling down, "Princess has never been unkind. You didn't do anything."
Seeing that Zhaoruo was about to fall into Liu Ruyan's plan again, Qi Chuchu couldn't help but sigh, Zhaoruo, how could you do this to the green tea little white flower?
"Princess Zhaoruo just called her cousin's name, and didn't say a word other than that, let alone blame you. But you opened your mouth to apologize and knelt down. Are you trying to frame Princess Zhaoruo for being indifferent to right from wrong? Indiscriminately punishing outsiders?" Qi Chuchu said calmly.
Liu Ruyan raised her eyes and glanced at Qi Chuchu, feeling ashamed and angry that she had been seen through, and then bowed and said, "That's not what the daughter of the people meant."
"No, then talk less and do more."
After saying that, Qi Chuchu pulled Zhao Ruo away and went to the barbecue stove prepared today together.
While waiting for the barbecue, everyone gathered around the table and played a game for a while. It was a game proposed by Qi Chuchu. She made a card and explained the rules to everyone.
The person who draws the corresponding card needs to complete a challenge or say a true message.
Qi Chuchu made some tricks in it, so the first person to be selected was Liu Ruyan.
"Whoever draws the black five of clubs needs to complete the challenge - catch fish. Or choose to tell the truth. How should Cousin Liu choose?"
