Someone commented on the first sentence, and someone will naturally comment on the second sentence.
"The painting is good, but the clothes of the woman in the painting are a little revealing."
"We are judging paintings, what does it have to do with clothes?"
"That's true. I think this painting looks like a new painting, not an old one."
"Well, there is no inscription or signature on it. Although the painting is lifelike, the person who made this painting is probably not very famous."
"Then it's not something valuable."
Everyone spoke one after another and commented on the painting.
Only then did Li Suijiu realize that in this situation, he didn't need to speak at all, the onlookers would help evaluate it.
The children who listened to the passers-by's comments also showed a pity expression at this time.
"The boy thought it was a nice painting, but it turned out to be worthless... If that's the case, then give it to your husband. Anyway, this painting will have no effect if it is left on the boy."
After the child finished speaking, he handed the scroll to Li Suijiu.
Free gift?
Li Suijiu didn't pick up the wine.
It's not that the painting is bad, but the black cat next to him is clawing at his legs and feet.
"Meow~"
It seemed that he didn't want Li Suijiu to take over the painting.
Li Suijiu naturally understood what Qian'er meant.
Hey, I, Mr. Li, would not let such a low-level person make such a thing?
So, he shook his head and refused: "Although this painting is not worth much money, the artist's painting skills are quite good. If you sell it in the market, you can always get some money."
After saying that, he pushed the handed scroll away with his hand: "I won't accept my paintings, please take them back!"
"Sir, this kid really doesn't know how to draw, so it's useless to leave him alone!" The child was anxious. He had clearly 'saw' the scene inside the teahouse just now at the door of the teahouse.
Faced with the meeting gifts given by Liu Chan'er, Qin Xiao and others, Li Sui wine was accepted in full.
It was precisely because of this that he came up with the idea of sending paintings.
Why doesn't it work?
"Is it useless to keep it? Well, okay, let me sell it for you." After Li Suijiu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to everyone: "Is there anyone who likes this painting and can give me some money?"
"Sir, are you helping this guy sell his paintings?" someone asked.
"Yes, I think this child's family must be poor. Otherwise, why would he be selling melon seeds and peanuts on the street at such a young age? If anyone likes this painting, buying it can be regarded as giving some help."
"Yesterday, your kindness influenced Chu Zhongbai at the defense meeting. Today, you helped a poor boy sell paintings. Your heart is indeed very kind! Although we don't have the talent of a gentleman, we are still willing to do some good deeds."
When everyone heard this, they were all moved by Li Suijiu's kindness.
Immediately, someone made a bid.
"Then I'll give you ten copper coins."
"Twenty!"
"Fifty!"
Everyone called for a price.
Although the price is not high, it is better than those bags of melon seeds and peanuts.
But at this moment.
Zhou You and others also ran out of the teahouse in despair.
As soon as he came out, he saw Li Suijiu and a five or six-year-old child standing together, while the people around him were bidding loudly, as if they were selling something?
"Huh? Brother Zhou, isn't this Li Suijiu selling those meet-and-greet gifts?"
"If this is true, it is extremely shameless!"
"Go over and have a look!"
Zhou You and others came over to take a look.
Only then did he realize that it was Li Suijiu who was helping a child sell paintings.
"Damn it, I misunderstood Li Suijiu again!"
"Yeah, I thought he was selling those meet-and-greet gifts here, but I didn't expect him to be doing good deeds. Hey, I'm not as good as him!"
"We are all not as good as Li Suijiu. It's a pity that Li Suijiu was offended by the teahouse poem fight."
"Why don't we buy this painting as an apology to Li Suijiu? With Li Suijiu's talent, he will definitely have a place in the court in the future."
"Best regards, Brother Lin!"
When Zhou You heard this, he nodded in agreement.
The young man in yellow shirt, known as 'Brother Lin', walked out.
Zhou You had paid for the tea in the teahouse just now. Naturally, Zhou You could not pay for it this time.
The young man in yellow shirt is called "Lin Ju'an", and his father is the "Tongpan" in Jinlin City, in charge of grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy, litigation and other matters.
Although he has a deputy position, he is of the sixth rank and has some foundation in his family.
Lin Ju'an walked out, thinking that since he wanted to make amends, the money he paid should not be too low.
So, he opened his mouth and said: "I will give you ten taels!"
"..."
After shouting this price, the venue immediately became quiet.
Twelve? Buy a new roll of paintings with no name or surname?
Fool, right?
When everyone turned around, they saw Lin Ju'an, Zhou You and others. They turned out to be talents from Jinlin, so it's okay.
"No, I won't sell it, I won't sell it!" The child said anxiously: "This painting is not worth ten taels of silver. I just want to give this painting to my husband. I really want to give it to you!!"
"Bring it to you!"
Lin Juan walked over directly.
He snatched the scroll, put it in his arms, and threw out ten taels of silver.
Regardless of whether you sell it or give it away, today I am going to use your painting to apologize to Li Suijiu. Do you think I won’t buy your painting because you scream so loudly?
Innocent!
Wait until the sale is completed.
The child's hands were empty and he was stunned.
Lin Ju'an turned to Li Suijiu: "Brother Li sells paintings to this child. It is a noble act. We sincerely admire him!"
"I just saw each other in passing, just doing it casually." Li Suijiu smiled slightly, but in his heart he was thinking about what these people were planning.
Lin Juan waved to Zhou You.
Zhou You and others immediately understood what he meant and came over one after another.
"Today's poetry contest in the teahouse, I am convinced that we lost. However, before this, I had no idea that we would meet by chance like this. It was indeed an unintentional move."
"Yes, in fact, when we came to Yinhua Mansion from Jinlin, our original intention was to make friends with Brother Li after hearing about the debate meeting last night."
"If Brother Li comes to you in large quantities, we are willing to apologize in person!"
Everyone apologized one after another, with sincere expressions that didn't seem fake.
Li Suijiu thought for a while.
Although these people in front of them are a little arrogant, they really don't have extremely bad thoughts.
Moreover, after losing Doushi just now, Zhou You did pay for the tea.
Thinking about it further, he will be attending the Qiu Wei Festival in a few months, so he will naturally go to Golden Scale City.
If these people help in Golden Scale City, some efforts and expenses can be saved.
So, he nodded: "Actually, I just read Brother Zhou's "Wandering Strange Tales" not long ago, and I admire Brother Zhou's talent very much."
"Huaijin has read my "Wandering Strange Talks"?" Zhou You immediately climbed up on the pole and changed Brother Li to Huaijin.
"Yeah, I've read it."
"Hahaha, there is such a fate." Zhou You was overjoyed, and then he looked ashamed: "Now I know why Huaijin gave up Yage in front of the teahouse. It's because I was narrow-minded."
"It was just a misunderstanding. Now that it has been solved, there is no need to mention it again."
"Okay, okay, Huaijin is generous!"
Everyone was overjoyed.
Then, after more than a dozen people looked at each other again, Zhou You spoke again: "We have been living in Jinlin, and this time we arrived at Yinhua Mansion, we also wanted to take a look around. I wonder if Huaijin would like to travel with us? ?”
Traveling together?
Li Suijiu looked at the black cat.
"Meow~"
There was a little anticipation in Black Cat's voice.
Obviously, he didn't want to stay in the thatched cottage all the time and wanted to walk around.
Li Suijiu thought for a while, he had been in Yinhua Mansion for a few days, and he had visited the city, but he had never been outside the city.
I heard it's dangerous outside the city?
But during the day, nothing should happen.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhou You and others to come to Yinhua Mansion from Jinlin City.
With this thought in mind, he said, "It would be nice if I could go on a spring outing outside the city. Maybe I could get some inspiration and write an interesting story."
"Very good, very good! That's exactly what we meant!" Zhou You was really happy now.
"Then let's make an appointment to travel out of the city together and visit some mountains, rivers and lakes. Brother Zhou can also exchange stories with Huaijin. Wouldn't it be wonderful!"
"Will you go today?"
"Today? If you are going out of the city, you should prepare some solid food. If you don't prepare today, let's do it tomorrow."
Everyone started talking.
Li Suijiu also felt that tomorrow would be better: "Well, it's best to understand."
"Okay, then tomorrow, I'll go find out where to go outside the city, and then come back to the thatched cottage early tomorrow morning to invite Huaijin!" Zhou You nodded.
He also felt that today was a bit urgent, but tomorrow would be just right.
"Meow~"
The black cat purred.
A pair of golden eyes looked at the child who was standing still.
