Chapter 3 Selling Calligraphy and Painting
Author: Qing Jiuyi
Li Luo also left the yard. The lazier she got, the fatter she got, so she had to move.
She went out for a run and walked slowly along the nearby streets. When she came back sweating, she saw Qin Mian sleeping on the upper bunk through the glass window.
She pushed the door open gently, tiptoed to the closet, took the inscription from the top, rolled it up and wrapped it in a cloth bag, and looked at Qin Mian at the door.
Qin Mian heard the sound of the door closing and sat up.
What are you doing secretly?
The eldest nephew said in the letter that she could steal things. When he came in, he smelled the smell of ink, so he followed her quietly.
From a distance, I saw her entering a calligraphy and painting shop.
After about half an hour, I came out happily. I walked, then skipped.
His fat body trembled up and down.
Qin Mian silently covered his eyes, finally knowing what it meant to be eye-catching!
Everyone is as thin as a bamboo pole, how did she gain weight?
After she walked away, he stepped into the calligraphy and painting shop. The shop owner was admiring the calligraphy and painting he just bought.
"Young man, do you want to buy calligraphy and paintings?"
Qin Mian pondered: "Just take a look."
The boss promoted: "I just bought the goods today. Study hard and make progress every day. There are so many beautiful people in the world. They are all good. I haven't had time to frame them yet."
Qin Mian stepped forward and stroked his hand like flowing clouds and flowing water, which was indeed a bit skillful.
Signed, Mu Ziluo.
Li Luo?
Didn't it mean that she didn't know how to read? She looks ugly, but her handwriting is really good.
"How much does this beautiful painting cost?"
"Five yuan." The boss said: "Look at this glyph, this sharp edge..."
"Two yuan, whether you want to sell it or not." Qin Mian interrupted.
boss:"……"
Qin Mian was about to leave. The boss pulled him and said: "Sell, sell, sell, hey!" He looked puzzled: "It costs one yuan and five yuan to put on the frame and labor. It's really difficult to do business."
…
Li Luo sold three calligraphy and paintings for a huge sum of three yuan, and used the money to go to a tailor shop and buy two sets of close-fitting clothes.
She has been on a diet to lose weight these days, and her clothes are a little loose.
After leaving the tailor shop, she walked to the department store. When she came, the old man not only helped her buy tickets, but also secretly gave her ten yuan as pocket money.
He was very kind to her, and now she is making money, so he repays his kindness.
She went there and took a fancy to a black wool thread, and learned from the boss that a scarf cost about two taels of thread and cost two yuan.
Li Luo spent a RMB to buy clothes. She took out the RMB 80 from her pocket and said expectantly: "Boss, I only have RMB 80, is that okay?"
The boss looked like he was at a loss: "Hey, I sold it to you for a small fee."
Li Luo suddenly felt that he had lost money, but the other party had already packed up the wool. If she didn't want it, would she be scolded?
Just take it.
When he got home, Qin Mian pointed to the ink brush and rice paper on the table and asked, knowingly: "Why are you hiding these secretly?"
Li Luo's heart skipped a beat, how did he find the thing? She pretended to be calm and smiled: "Sneaking? You are too harsh. My handwriting is ugly. I just wanted to practice it with you, but I'm sorry to let you see it."
Got the pen and ink.”
Qin Mian chuckled and told a lie without even blinking. It was probably not the first time. He didn't expose it, but planned to see what she would do next, pointing to the wool in her hand: "Want to knit a scarf for me?"
Li Luo secretly thought, "You really think about it. I knitted it for my father. Thank you for his efforts to bring us together. You want to wait until I finish knitting this piece before knitting it for you. In fact, it's not a loss for you to marry me. Although I look good now,
It's not satisfactory, but my facial features are pretty good, with double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and a small mouth. It won't look ugly if I lose weight. I'm already losing weight. People now comment on how ugly you are, but in a few months you'll be able to praise me.
You have a discerning eye. And I am hardworking and capable. The most valuable thing is that I have a kind heart. I am hardworking and motivated."
Qin Mian: "..." What about these endorsements? One set after another.
He has an active eye and is very courageous. He started selling calligraphy and paintings on the first day he came here.
It's different from what my eldest nephew said in his letter: he's lazy and disheveled.
He looked at it first, and then said with some meaning: "The day before yesterday, there was a big brother in the yard next door secretly selling braised vegetables. He was caught hanging out and wandering two streets."
Li Luo tilted her head: "Why are you telling me this? I don't sell braised vegetables." She went to the well to wash her brushes.
Qin Mian: "..." He was clearly reminding her not to sell calligraphy and paintings secretly.
Aunt Liu said to Li Luo: "Luoluo, would you like to go to the bathhouse to take a bath together?"
"Okay." Li Luo had never taken a bath when he called here and wanted to take a bath. "Where is it? How much does it cost?"
"It's not far. It takes three or four minutes to walk. Xiao Qin should have a ticket."
Li Luo immediately went home and asked the man for a bathing ticket, brought toiletries, and left with Aunt Liu.
…
Han Qiuyu, who was opposite the door, noticed that Li Luo had left. He sat in front of the mirror to comb his hair, wiped his lips with red paper, smiled, and was extremely satisfied. Then Duan Huahua came to the door of Li Luo's house, and when he knocked on the door, he deliberately said: "Li Luo"
Luo, I fried some peanuts for you to try."
Qin Mian didn't even raise his head: "She's not at home, you can eat by yourself."
Han Qiuyu opened the door and said with a smile: "I'll put it here first." She put the plate on the desk in front of Qin Mian and sat down on the bed. "Qin Da..."
"Why don't you sit on a stool?" Qin Mian immediately turned around and pulled up the mattress.
Han Qiuyu stepped aside and said aggrievedly: "This is how I am at home."
Qin Mian asked back, "Is this your home?" He thrust the plate on the table into her hand and yelled, "Take it away!" He began to take off the quilt as if he had a mysophobia.
Han Qiuyu's face turned red and white, wiped away tears and turned away.
Li Luo is so ugly, and she is pretty and straight, but he wants an ugly girl instead of her. Is there something wrong with his eyes?
…
Just as Qin Mian threw the quilt cover into the basin, Li Luo came back.
"Didn't you go take a shower?"
"I don't want to wash it anymore." Li Luo couldn't accept everyone entering the hall naked together, like making dumplings. Forget it, there are still people with five or six-year-old boys, and the children talk nonsense.
She plans to buy a big bathtub and wash it at home.
"Why did you change the sheets?" It's obviously very clean, but do you dislike being slept with by her? It seems like you need to make money as soon as possible to buy your own sheets and quilts.
Qin Mian's face was expressionless: "If you change it frequently, you won't get mites. There are new sheets in the cabinet, please change them."
Li Luo dismissed the doubts in his mind and said oh.
I changed the sheets, tidied the desk, wiped the window sill and glass, and finally sprinkled water on the floor. While sweeping the floor, I swept out two shelled peanuts from under the bed.
The courtyard is so big, and you can know the general situation of the courtyard at home. Han Qiuyu seems to have fried peanuts.
He secretly hid Han Qiuyu's peanuts to eat. They couldn't really have anything, right?
He washed the sheets again. Did he get into bed while she was away to destroy the evidence?
She has only been gone for about ten minutes, is it over?
When Qin Mian was drying the sheets under the eaves, he caught a glimpse of her stuffing something into her mouth from the corner of her eye. When she got closer, she saw that it was peanuts. There were shells in the dustpan. Did Han Qiuyu drop them just now? She was so greedy.
No wonder I'm so fat.
Li Luo cleaned up the dust and went out with a dustpan to pour. He passed by Qin Mian and gave him a secret look. Big pervert!
When I returned, I met Han Qiuyu across from me again.
Chapter completed!
