Huang Jinmian put down the ink pen, paused slightly, picked up the charcoal strip, and sketched an outline first. It seemed that she wanted to draw a landscape painting, and it was not proposed by Mr. Meng Da. She liked things, such as flowers and birds. Insect fish and the like.
There are many elegant people in this garden. Seeing such a beautiful woman painting, they all slowly gathered around.
Huang Jinmian moved faster and painted the mountain. The painting was four feet wide. Even though she moved very quickly, it took more than half an hour. Fang Jinshi in the middle saw her hard work and put a cup of tea on the corner of the table for her. She also ignore.
This painting has already been praised by some before it is completed. When it is completed, it is even more praised by those who are knowledgeable and ignorant. This work is not a distant view, but a mid-range and close-up scene. On a cliff with a magnificent scenery, a young man faces the depths. Cliff, with his hands behind his back and looking at the distant scenery. Although the boy is drawn on the back, his clothes and boots are exactly the same as Fang Jinshi's attire today.
Huang Jinmian finished the painting, put down the pen, came to the other party and said to the stone: "Husband, come here and write your name."
Fang Jinshi came over and said with a smile: "What should I ask?"
Huang Jinmian said: "If you can't think of it at the moment, just write it down." Fang Jinshi picked up the pen and wrote his name "Fang Jinshi" in the blank space. After writing, he straightened up and looked at it. He felt that these three words were too ugly. , destroying the integrity of this excellent painting. Huang Jinmian asked him to inscribe it, undoubtedly to give him face. Liang Cuirong knew how to do this, and Huang Jinmian can do it today.
Cai Meng nodded and praised: "It's a good painting, it's worth a hundred coins."
Sun De, the general manager of Sihai Trading Company, said from the side: "Although the painting is good, if Mr. Fang is the favorite of the young lady, he should not paint like this."
Huang Jinmian turned around and said, "Why not? What's wrong?"
Sun De said: "In the painting, the young master is standing on a cliff with no way forward. Unless he turns around and retreats from the original road, no matter how beautiful the scenery ahead is, what's the use?"
Huang Jinmian said: "It turns out you didn't notice the rope at his feet. Although the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, and full of dangers, he can always survive and solve the dilemma. My husband is the most resourceful man in the world. No matter what, They are some shameless people who deliberately use inferior methods, but he always has a way to solve them."
She was a sharp-tongued woman, and this time she praised Fang Jinshi and directly scolded him. Sun De choked her back and wanted to scold him back, but he also thought that she was a woman and Fang Jinshi's concubine, so he might not Unable to speak, Cai Meng laughed and said to Ji Chang'an: "Shopkeeper Ji, I'll pay Mr. Fang a hundred yuan for this painting. Go back and frame it for me and send it to my home."
Ji Changan bowed and agreed, and the matter was over. Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, Shi Hao hurriedly said: "I would also like to ask Miss Baozhu to play and sing again." He was determined to let Baozhu earn face. Miss Baozhu can do it today. In addition to not wanting to offend people like Zhou Jinpeng, I came here because the people who came this time were all prominent figures and their families, and it was a good opportunity to make a name for myself.
Baozhu walked up to the piano and said, "How about I play another song to cheer everyone up?"
Her piano skills were indeed extraordinary. Shi Hao and some dandy boys all cheered loudly. Baozhu raised his jade wrist and was about to play. The little Persian prince Li Ka'an suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
The little Persian prince didn't say much after he arrived. He just casually watched other people's cockfighting games and listened to other people's poems. Pingjiang Mansion is also a prosperous state capital, and it is not particularly unusual for foreigners like him. Not many people noticed him.
Baozhu immediately stopped, she didn't speak, and waited for Ka'an to speak. Li Ka'an tilted his head and looked at her before saying, "You know, I came here specifically for you."
Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said to Rika, "Master Xie, you think highly of Baozhu." She was well-known, and there were often dandy boys coming here who admired her fame. It was no surprise at all. It's just that this Persian prince is a foreigner after all, so it has never happened before.
Prince Li Ka'an said: "I heard that you are worth five hundred Song coins. I want to buy you. How much does it cost?"
In this kind of situation, it is really inappropriate to say such words, but he just said it. Before Baozhu could speak, Shi Hao laughed and said: "If Miss Baozhu was only worth this, I, a poor scholar, would have thought of a way to do it." After buying it, it will be your turn."
Prince Li Ka'an said: "There is always a number, is five thousand strings enough?"
Although Baozhu's reputation is bright enough, these five thousand guan are indeed a large amount, and it is enough to buy her. Scholars like Shi Hao despise a businessman who is full of money and buys everything with money, and he is also a foreigner. A businessman from the foreign tribe, he said in a mocking tone: "Can you double the amount and see if you can beat the girl Baozhu?"
Prince Li Ka'an nodded to Miss Baozhu and said, "Okay, just ten thousand guan. As long as you agree, I will send someone to send 10,000 guan immediately."
This ten thousand guan is undoubtedly a very shocking figure for Baozhu. She has never heard of any Gou Lan Yuan singing artist who paid 10,000 guan for it. This is definitely a record. Baozhu even felt that his fingers were trembling slightly due to the wealth figures. Shi Hao glanced at Baozhu and said to Li Ka'an: "Is Miss Baozhu a person who is greedy for money? She will never travel across the ocean with you to thousands of miles away. If you are going to suffer in a foreign country, you’d better give up on this idea.”
Prince Ka'an's words here were really domineering. When Shi Hao looked at the look on the orb, he felt a little jealous. He was afraid that the orb would be tempted to agree to this person. Prince Li Ka'an said: "I bought her, how could I Let her suffer? She doesn't have to follow me to the Kingdom of Persia, I will make arrangements for her wherever she goes."
Sun De knew Ka'an here and came together. At this time, he stepped forward and said: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wang is so infatuated. Miss Baozhu is lucky. It is fitting that she will meet such a noble man as Mr. Wang."
But Prince Li Ka'an sighed and said: "I feel sad and sad, who would understand?" He said such a sentence carelessly, then raised his head and said to Miss Baozhu: "If you promise me, I will arrange for you to go to any place where others cannot find you. If you want to marry, I will arrange for you a man you want to marry. In this life, I will have people give you money on time and will never be embarrassed. you."
He suddenly said such words, and everyone present, including Fang Jin, Shi Shihao and others, were confused. This little prince of Persia, Li Ka'an, originally offered a big price to buy the orb, and said he came specially for her, but he didn't Under such conditions, if he bought the orb, was he just offering her up? It is completely impossible for him to be frightened by the appearance of the orb and respect it.
Everyone looked at Baozhu. Baozhu had calmed down at this time. She gave Prince Li Ka'an a blessing and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Prince Li Ka'an looked at her and said, "Then will you agree?"
Bao Zhu lowered his head and thought for a moment and said: "Bao Zhu is in Goulansi. Whether he agrees or not is not up to Bao Zhu himself to decide. The young master loves you so much that the price he pays will definitely satisfy you."
Li Ka'an nodded and said, "So you agreed."
Bao Zhu paid obeisance and said, "Although Bao Zhu doesn't know what the young master means, the young master knows that the reason why the precious pearl is worth five hundred guan must have something to do with him. Ordinarily, after the young master bid, Bao Zhu has nothing to say, but the young master If he buys it and I give it to him, the treasure will be lost to death; if it is not him, the treasure will be at the disposal of the young master."
Prince Li Ka'an said: "Didn't you decide it yourself at the beginning? When you say that, I don't understand..."
Baozhu stood there, sighed heavily, and said nothing. Prince Li Ka'an raised his eyebrows and said, "But don't worry, the reason why I bought you is because I don't want you to see him." , it’s best never to let him see you.”
Baozhu lowered his head and said, "It's too late. I already saw him yesterday."
Rika settled down and said, "I'm still a little late. How...how do I explain it to her?" He sighed heavily, turned around and walked outside and said, "I'm leaving. I'll ask someone to give you money later." He hurried away, leaving behind a few meaningless words. At this time, except for Baozhu, who might know the reason why he said some words, no one else knew.
Shi Hao watched Ka'an go away here and stepped forward to Baozhu: "This Persian is so strange. Miss Baozhu, are you okay?"
Baozhu sighed softly and said: "The slave family is very tired and wants to go back."
Shi Hao said: "I'll give it to you."
Baozhu shook his head and said to Zhou Jinpeng: "Master Zhou, I..."
Zhou Jinpeng immediately said: "Then I have to ask Young Master Fang if he is willing to have you go back. If others can afford a big price, Young Master Fang can also afford it."
Baozhu cast an inquiring look at Fang Jinshi, and Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "Miss Baozhu has something to do, so please go back first."
The orb blessed Fang Jinshi again, and then he took the piano master girl back with him. Cai Meng picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then put his hand on the lid and put it on the table. Sun De understood and said to Fang Jinshi: "Master Fang , there are still some important things to deal with in the company, so we will go back first."
Fang Jinshi hurriedly said polite words to him. Cai Meng had already stood up. Fang Jinshi and Zhou Jinpeng and Ji Changan escorted them to the bridge at the door. Cai Meng got on the carriage. When he entered, he turned around and said to Fang Jinshi: "Brother, are you used to eating dog meat?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I'm used to eating."
Cai Meng said: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon in Osmanthus Alley, I will invite my brothers to eat dog meat together."
Fang Jinshi said: "That's fine."
Cai Meng got into the carriage, and the driver drove away gradually.
Fang Jinshi and the three of them returned to the Hundred Flowers Banquet together. Ji Changan watched Zhou Jinpeng leave for a moment, and the other party entered the stone and said, "Although Osmanthus Alley is not Hongmen, this dog meat is not that delicious."
Fang Jinshi laughed and said: "At this time, I am not afraid that Mr. Meng Da will come to me, but I am worried that he will not come to me. Shopkeeper Ji can rest assured."
Ji Changan looked at him and said nothing more. Fang Jinshi watched Huang Jinmian change into another set of clothes and come out, still shining brightly. He walked over and said, "It's getting late. I've prepared some clothing materials for the ladies who are coming. You Do me a favor, this shouldn’t be difficult.”
Huang Jinmian said: "It's difficult for me. I don't know those women."
Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "You still have to send it away even if you don't know me. How can you help me achieve big things if you can't even do this little thing well?"
This is really not an easy thing for Huang Jinmian, who is not good at sociability. Fang Jinshi misses Liang Cuirong. Huang Jinmian is as good as Huang Jinmian, and Liang Cuirong has her strengths, but now she returns to Bianliang I went, and I don’t know when I will come back.
It's nice to have two women.
