Chapter 1892

With good words, Tang Mo commented on Qixuan's painting: "your painting is beautiful and deep, and your skill is also very deep, but it's too familiar." Sophistication is to be too skillful in skills.

Qixuan said with a bitter smile, "my teacher has said that."

Tang Mo said, "if you can't change it, it's hard for your painting to improve." The previous picture of beauty has no such defect, and there is no trace of Mr. shanweng. Now it seems that the Empress Dowager is really right. Xuanwang is best at figure painting.

After Pang Jinglun asked him this question, Qixuan wanted to change it. However, this kind of thing can't be changed if you want to.

Tang Mo didn't discuss this problem with Qixuan, but asked: "after talking for so long, I don't know your name?"

"Han Xiaojun."

After hearing this, Tang Mo felt that the name was very popular: "what do you like to draw?"

Hearing this, Qixuan said, "landscapes, flowers and plants, birds and insects are all painted."

"What's your favorite painting?" I asked Without waiting for Qixuan to speak, Tang Mo said, "just like me, I also paint landscapes, cats and dogs, but my favorite painting is flowers. And the one I painted the best was flowers

Finish saying, handed a peony diagram to open Xuan to see. The painting is bright in color, delicate and lifelike, so people will like it at first sight.

After Qixuan finished appreciating his paintings, Tang Mo said, "now can you tell me what you like to draw?"

Qixuan still shakes his head.

Don Mo said patiently, "well, you close your eyes first."

When Qixuan closes his eyes, don't let him empty everything in his mind.

In the shop, Nico and nitty had been waiting for a long time, which made them anxious.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu said to them, "I don't know when they will come out. Why don't you go and sell it first and then come back. " This scholar can talk for a long time sometimes. In order not to delay his time, he thought it would be better for nitty and his wife to sell the things.

Naturally, they have no objection.

Gu Jiu turned his head and asked the second son of the Tang family, "what's the name of the animal fur collection shop in the county, and where is it located?"

Hearing this, the second son of the Tang family hurriedly said, "I don't know what leather you want to sell?" Those who come out of the mountains say they want to sell fur, which is definitely not ordinary animal fur.

"Tiger skin."

"I don't know if you can show it to me," said the second son of the Tang family

It's expensive in the capital, and once it's available, it's bought by dignitaries.

When nitty got the word, he put down the basket and prepared to take out the tiger skin.

Seeing this, Tang Laoer took a quick look outside and said, "let's go to the backyard."

When Tang saw the tiger skin, he was ready to buy it. The tiger skin was completely preserved. Except for a big hole in his neck, there was no damage at all.

"I don't know how much you are going to sell this tiger skin?" He didn't do fur business, so he didn't know the price. But the price of fur here can't be compared with that of Beijing. Here, one or two silver can last a month. In the capital, one or two silver can't buy anything at all.

Nitty and Nico didn't quite understand this. They looked at Gu Jiu.

"A complete tiger skin like this in the capital costs at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver. It can't be compared with the capital, but you have to pay half the price anyway! "

Four hundred taels of silver to buy such a good tiger skin is a big profit. However, Tang Laoer still pressed the price: "three hundred taels of silver, what do you think?"

Although it seems honest and honest, but after all, it is business people, also like to lower prices.

Gu Jiu was too lazy to bargain with others. He turned to ask nitty and Nico, "three hundred taels of tiger skin, do you sell them?"

Last time, the tiger skin was similar to this one, only sold for 140 taels of silver. Now it's more than twice as much as last time. Nitty nodded happily: "sell, sell, sell."

Nicotine added: "Uncle Jiu, there is tiger ointment. Do you want it?"

Well, Gu Jiu asked Tang Laoer, "yes. They also asked if you want tiger cream, if you want one hundred Liang. " The tiger ointment was made by the witch doctor, but it's not good. At the price of one hundred Liang, I'm sure I'll make a profit.

Tiger ointment is also the first-class medicine. If Tang Laoer didn't want it, he would be a fool.

Tang Laoer originally wanted to bargain. Seeing Gu Jiu's smiling face, he knew that there was no need to talk about it. He nodded and said, "OK."

In a few words, they sold tiger skin and tiger ointment.

Nico and NiTi were overjoyed to hear that tiger ointment had also been sold for a hundred taels of silver.

You know, last time tiger skin and tiger ointment only sold for 180 taels of silver. This time, the two sold for four hundred taels of silver, more than twice as much as last time.

Tang asked, "do you want silver or cash? If you want cash, I'll get it from the bank for you now. " Three hundred taels of loose silver in the shop, especially the large amount, are usually paid in silver. But looking at nitty's clothes, don knows that he came from the mountains. Generally, such people only recognize silver but not silver notes.

Gu Jiu said: "now silver." Nico, they don't know any words. How could they ask for a silver note.

Tang Laoer asked Xiao Er to take care of the shop, and he went to the backyard to ask the clerk to go to the bank to get money.

Gu Jiu's eyes flashed as he watched them go out.

After Qixuan closed his eyes and kept silent for two minutes, Tang Mo asked: "what do you want to do most now?" If he is, the first thing he wants is to look after the flowers.

Qixuan blurted out: "I want to go home to see my mother."

Don Mo was embarrassed, but soon recovered to calm down: "then go back and paint a painting of your mother. When you're done, show it to me. "

Qixuan hesitated.

"You can draw and miss your mother so much, why don't you make a painting of your mother?" said Tang mo

Qixuan said, "I'm afraid I can't draw well." If you don't draw well, you offend your mother.

Tang Mo said with a smile: "in fact, whether it's painting or playing the piano, you can move people only by integrating your own feelings. I believe that as long as you paint in this state, the painting will be very good. "

Qixuan tangled for a long time, finally nodded to agree with Tang Mo's proposal.

After discussing the art of painting, Qixuan asked, "old man, I don't know how much this painting is worth?"

Tang Mo touched his beard and said, "five Liang silver." This price is fairly reasonable.

Qixuan is disappointed. The price is too low.

Tang Mo said with a smile: "people here don't like paintings of mountains and waters. But if you want to sell at a high price, draw tigers or leopards. " Portraits of beasts are popular here. No one wants landscape paintings here. There are few scholars, who like these things. It's a beast. Some superstitious people will buy it for home use.

Qixuan said with a smile, "OK, I'll draw a tiger next time." Just draw the gorgeous tiger that was hunted last time.

After they finished talking, don Mo let him out. He himself continued to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard.

To the front yard, Qixuan didn't see Tang Laoer: "where's the shopkeeper?"

Gu Jiu said: "the shopkeeper just bought their tiger skin and tiger cream. There is not enough money to go to the bank to get money. You sit down first, and you'll be back soon. "

As soon as the words came down, Tang Laoer came back with the man. The two men in the family are actually the guardians given by Yuxi to their father and son. Because they don't know the language here, they just do some chores. But if Tang wants to go out, the guards will go with him.

Gu Jiu took the silver box and let it go. Then he took a ingot of silver and pinched it. Sure, I gave nitty the silver box.

Nitty put the forty silver spindles in the cloth pocket and then put them in the basket.

Qixuan said to Tang Laoer, "the old man said that my painting is worth five Liang silver." It's not much, but at least it can buy a lot of things. I can buy 20 jin of rice and noodles this time.

Tang didn't go to the backyard to check, so he went to the counter to get the silver. Gu Jiu's eyes twitch.

Fortunately, Qixuan didn't think much about it. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll go through.

Gu Jiu asked, "isn't the public order in the county not good?" If not, this Tang Laoer has a shop. He can't even dare to put seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

Tang looked outside and saw that there was no talent outside. He said in a low voice, "because the county is small and the taxes are very small every year, the court did not appoint the county magistrate. The county magistrate was in charge of the affairs. The former county magistrate was good and honest. But because of illness, he resigned and went home to recuperate. The county magistrate came here last year. Since he came, people here have paid 20% more taxes than before. Then there are more local ruffians and hooligans in the county. What's more ridiculous is that since last month, people have to charge fees for entering the city. "

Qixuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Gu Jiu looked wrong and said to Tang Laoer, "it's late. Let's go back!"

After seeing him off, Tang went back to his backyard and said to Tang Mo, "Dad, I told them what happened here. Dad, what's the use of telling them that? "

Tang Mo says with a smile: "this world is their cloud family, Xuan Wang knows this matter won't stand idly by."

Old Tang's eyes were about to stare out: "was that Xuan Wang just now? It's impossible. I've seen Xuan Wang before. It's not like this at all. "

Tang Mo said with a smile: "he is not only tanned now, but also dressed in such a down-to-earth way. How can he compare with that in Beijing?"

Before Tang Laoer, he only knew that the Empress Dowager had asked them to do something in Shu, but he didn't know why: "Dad, we came to Shu for the sake of Xuan king?"

Don Mo nodded.

Passing a restaurant, Qixuan wants to go in for lunch. But if you want to buy some cloth to make clothes, you have to save some money. So, he finally gave up the idea: "go to the cloth shop to buy some cloth, and then go back." I didn't know how many patches I had made before. Now to make money, you have to make two clothes.

Since he was a child, he has been wearing patched old clothes. Qixuan feels that he has strong adaptability.

He bought two pieces of cloth, one blue and one light blue, and spent two liang silver. Qixuan didn't buy any other things. He was going to buy them in the town.
