After dinner the next day, Zhou Shuren took the calligraphy and painting to the antique shop and did not return until the afternoon.
Zhulan is changing her cape. With the better one sent by the Qian family, she found out both her and Zhou Shuren's previous capes and changed them for the children together. Zhou Shuren's change was just for Chang Lian and Changzhi .
As for why not give the eldest and second child, Zhou Shuren's figure, these two people can't wear it!
For Zhulan, it was for Xuehan and Xuemei, and the daughter-in-law was fine. As for the three daughters-in-law in the family, she could only change two cloaks.
She hadn't worn her cloak very much, ahem, mainly because she was too housebound. She huddled in the house in winter. She didn't go out a few times, and the cloak was almost new.
Zhulan changed the cape for Xuemei, Xuemei's height is about the same as hers, it was easier to change, and she was about to change it for Xuehan, Zhou Shuren came back, "Why did you come back? I didn't put a mouthful outside, I'll bring it to you. dinner."
Zhou Shuren was so happy that he didn't feel hungry at all. He rubbed his hands and pulled Zhulan's clothes, "I'm not hungry, so I don't have to be busy. How much money do you think this calligraphy and painting is worth?"
Zhou Shuren took Zhou Shuren's hand to help cover his hand, "Listening to your happy tone, the value must not be low, let me guess, two hundred taels?"
Zhou Shuren's hands warmed a bit, but he didn't want to take it back, so he still let Zhu Lan hold it, "You can guess."
"It's just a few guesses. It's just a calligraphy and painting, and it's from the previous dynasty. Didn't Changzhi say that not many people like it? Why is it worth so much money?"
Zhou Shuren didn't expect the value to be so high, "Because there are few people who like it, so few authentic works are left, and the rare thing is the most valuable. The book of Mr. Xi Heng's arrogance is not liked by scholars, but some powerful people still like it."
Zhulan understood, "The consumer groups are different, the rich and powerful like it, the price is naturally expensive, so I guess five hundred taels?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "This time, there are many. Although there are many people who like him, Xi Heng has only passed away a hundred years ago. He is only a calligrapher of the previous dynasty, not worth five hundred taels."
Zhu Lan was so angry that she couldn't help but want to twist Zhou Shuren, "I won't guess, you like to talk."
Zhou Shuren kissed Zhulan's face, "Okay, okay, I'll just say it, the real one is 400 taels, the fake ones are worth 100 taels, I ran away some of the best antique shops in Pingzhou City today. Over and over, except for a time-honored master who saw it as a fake, the others didn’t see it as fake, so it’s safer to use this calligraphy and painting to compete.”
Zhulan secretly thought to herself that it was a pity that she couldn't go to such a lively event, so she could only wait for Zhou Shuren to come back and talk about the process.
Zhu Lan released Zhou Shuren's hand, picked up the cloak and instructed Zhou Shuren, "Hold me aside."
Zhou Shuren didn't understand, "How did you cut a good cloak?"
Zhu Lan took the scissors and cut along the line drawn with charcoal, and said after cutting, "It's not that I got better, it's a waste to keep these two pieces, I changed them to Xuemei and Xuehan, Xuehan's stature is not very big. It's too long, the cloak is too big, I cut a part and can make a cushion for Yulu and Mingrui."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "Xuehan's needlework is better than yours, and Xuemei's is also good. Why don't you do it yourself, give them the cloak and let them change it themselves."
Zhulan was speechless, "You eat vinegar too?"
"You didn't say that I am the old vinegar of ten thousand years, so I will show you sour."
Now he feels that the Zhou family is an eyesore, very annoying!
Zhulan pulled the cut out from Zhou Shuren's hand, "Don't be sour, you've been busy with antiques lately. Seeing that Chang Lian and Chang Zhi are going to take the government exam, you should also go and have a look."
Zhou Shuren snorted twice, "I can see it clearly. In your heart, my seat is gradually being squeezed by the Zhou family."
Zhulan picked up the needle in her hand, "Your heart is as big as the nose of a needle. See it, it's so small!"
Zhou Shuren leaned into Zhulan's ear and said, "It's all you at such a young age. I'm going to repair the boys of the Zhou family and relieve the pain in my heart."
Bamboo Orchid, "Virtue."
Behind Zhou Shuren's hands, he walked with eight characters, "Hey, I only have this virtue, and I'm not feeling well!"
Zhulan watched Zhou Shuren stride out, shook her head and laughed, this man, as time goes by, he has become more and more open. The former Zhou Shuren, who was very cold, is now willing to integrate into the atmosphere of the Zhou family. Now, Zhou Shuren didn't realize it himself. He mentioned a few cheap sons with a light tone and a smile in his eyes.
As for how many Chang Lian were repaired by Zhou Shuren, Zhulan's heart is of course biased, and it is Zhou Shuren, repair it, anyway, the repair is not bad, if you repair it a few more times, Zhou Shuren's heart can be less stressed, no harm!
Fortunately, the four sons of the Zhou family did not know what Zhulan was thinking, otherwise, the mother would not be the best, and co-authoring the four brothers was to relieve the pressure of the father! Sure enough, it's the mother and father.
In less than half an hour, Zhulan not only changed the cape, but also made the two cushions. Practice makes perfect, and Zhulan's needlework is getting better and better.
Wrap up what was given to Xuemei, take Xuehan and two cushions and go out, go to Xuehan's house first, Xuehan is sitting on the kang tying the net, Yushuang is drawing red, Yulu is small, because it is quiet, Xuehan I am also willing to bring Yulu, the little guy is not big, and he is playing with coins!
Xue Han saw her mother come in with the cloak, "Mother, isn't this your cloak? Why did you bring it over?"
Zhu Lan shook off the cape, "Mother has changed to a smaller size, and it will be yours in the future. Come and try it out."
Xuehan is not very big, and all female dolls like to dress up, Xuehan is no exception. She wears shoes and goes to the ground. She likes Mother's cloak very much, "Mother, did you really give it to me?"
"I've changed my size, what do you think?"
Xuehan put on the cape and turned twice, "Thank you mother."
Zhulan sighed, time flies so fast, it's been almost two years in a blink of an eye, the little girl from the countryside has changed a lot now, her skin is fair, she wears jewelry, and the baby fat is gone. Where is the little girl left? The shadow of the countryside, Zhulan is proud, she is well raised.
Zhulan gave the cushion in her hand to the one made by Yu **** milk, do you like it? "
Yulu squeezed the copper plate, and said in a milky voice, "I like it."
Zhu Lan took a few more glances at the copper plate and asked Xue Han, "You gave it to her?"
Xuehan twitched the corners of her mouth, "My sister-in-law gave it to Yulu to recognize the copper plate."
Bamboo Orchid, "......"
It is indeed a stupid thing that Li can do. Thanks to Yulu, she didn't like to put everything in her mouth since she was a child, otherwise it would be really dangerous.
Zhulan told her daughter: "Wait for your sister-in-law to pick up Yulu and tell your sister-in-law, don't give Yulu the copper plate in the future, what should I do if I really choke?"
Xuehan was also a little scared, and lowered her head in shame, "Mother, I didn't notice the danger."
"It has nothing to do with you. How old are you, you can't notice that it's normal. Your sister-in-law has become the mother of three children. You don't understand anything about it. If you want to blame your sister-in-law."
Xuehan Mother, sister-in-law is the mother of five children, and she will still be confused. "
Bamboo Orchid, "..."
I can't refute it, who made Li's heart so big!
Zhulan gave another mat to Yushuang, "This one belongs to Mingrui, don't forget to bring it to Mingrui when you go back, grandma won't be here."
At this hour, Ming Rui is sleeping, so don't wake her up in the past.
Yushuang is the most well-behaved, "En."
"So nice."
When Zhulan returned to the house, Zhou Shuren had already come back, lying on the kang with no image at all on his slippers, it was really random!
On the second day, before Zhou Shuren went out, there were guests at home. Master Qian and Mrs. Fang, the mother of Zhao family, came to recognize the door!
