Chapter 14

There is something else in the place where insect-eyed beans are?

Zhao Quan really didn't notice this.

It seems that this layman is very proud of this, so he is not polite to the Bole Zhao Quan who cannot see the exquisite paintings.

The hateful lay Buddhist Bi didn't expect that the young lady who had been silent all the time, actually discovered the mystery of the painting. It was really the mountains and flowing waters of the scholar Bi, and a rare soulmate.

So the old scholar couldn't help but look at Liu Miantang in admiration, twisted his beard and said, "This lady has good eyesight."

Liu Miantang smiled slightly. She didn't know that she had such good eyesight. At the beginning, she just looked at the dragonfly's eyes a little brighter, so she looked carefully. For some reason, she always felt a bit familiar with this method of painting with hidden blood mystery, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

However, this painting aroused her interest, so she came to find the painter with Zhao Quan.

Of course, she was not as bored as Zhao Quan, and she wanted to be a mentor to appreciate people.

No matter how beautiful the painting is, it must be painted on the porcelain plate first. If this gentleman is really as Zhao Quan said, and can become famous, then with his masterpieces of bowls and bottles, wouldn’t it be even more expensive?

However, in the eyes of the scholar Henbi, it was impossible to see that this dignified and beautiful young woman was a businessman who was obsessed with profit. She only felt that besides her deceased wife, she finally had another soulmate who knew people with a keen eye.

But Liu Miantang couldn't wait to explain his purpose immediately, just asking his husband to draw a plate for him, and she was willing to pay a high price.

Zhao Quan was not the first to discover the mystery. In addition to being ashamed of secretly, he was actually even more ecstatic. No matter what, he discovered such a genius first. He thought that this old scholar was just freehand and elegant, but now it seems that his handmade brushwork is also superb.

If this work is displayed in front of others, it will be just around the corner for everyone who is sought after by people of a generation!

But before Zhao Quan had time to talk to the old scholar about a bright future, Miss Mian Tang asked the old man to do something inferior to the craftsman. It was really a disgrace to the great master!

He knew that the old scholar had a strange temper and was afraid that he would chase people out again, so he quickly said to Liu Miantang: "Madam is really a fool! How can a gentleman like a gentleman do the work of a craftsman? If you lack a painter who paints plates, there will be everywhere in the nearby workshops. You can hire a few, but I will pay the wages!"

Liu Miantang looked at it and she didn't want to be in the same yard with Zhao Quan for too long. She just told the old scholar openly: "Sir, I'm not sure about it. My family runs a porcelain shop, but it's not good at management. In the long run, I can only close the shop. But this shop is the first business that my husband opened after he came out of the capital. If he finishes his business, he will be hit in his heart. As a wife, I can't help him too much. I just want to ask Mr. to help him with a brilliant painting, draw a treasure for the store, and make a name for him, so that he can contact those old-fashioned porcelain kilns, and then buy some fine products to sell in the future. If he can revitalize his family business, I will definitely bring a straw and repay Mr. sincerely!"

But this big truth obviously touched the old scholar. He looked at Liu Miantang with a sincere attitude and asked, "How much money do you pay?"

Liu Miantang thought about his thin family background, and was a little short of breath, and asked back: "How much do you want sir?"

Without waiting for the old scholar to bargain, Zhao Quan, who was afraid that he would decline his identity, immediately widened his eyes and continued: "Just sell me your paintings, I am willing to buy you the paintings for 100 taels!"

What a joke! She was so shocked and her husband was depressed. The guy named Cui was afraid that he would not catch a thief for a long time, so he was so anxious that he beat him to death!

If something else is fine, but he would not want to delay a genius because of the scam of King Huaiyang!

The poor and elegant man from the countryside is the most touching. How can a painter who paints plates for porcelain shops say it? Zhao Quan will not let this genius fall into depravity!

Liu Miantang also widened her eyes. She didn't expect a doctor to dare to raise the price like this!

Although my husband said that he had many wives and concubines in his family, he should not have to worry about making a living, but he spent 100 taels of silver to buy paintings, wasn’t he crazy? He was so spending his fortune, wouldn’t he beg for food on the street in the future?

More importantly, she couldn't afford a price of 100 taels. Zhao Quan was really not a good thing! She disturbed her affairs!

At the moment, no matter how polite you care about, Liu Miantang couldn't hide his anger and glared at Zhao Quan fiercely.

Zhao Quan saved the decaying genius, but before he could be proud, he was glared at by Lady Liu. His knife-like eyes made him shudder.

What a fierce lady, but she looks so beautiful even if she stares...

At this moment, the old scholar spoke: "I sell painting shops, and they all have forty-four texts per painting. My wife will give it to me at this price."

As soon as these words were said, Liu Miantang was overjoyed, while Zhao Quan was completely stunned.

Zhennan Hou was heartbroken and stamped his feet and said, "Why is sir so depraved?"

But the gentleman walked to the straw shed beside him, which should be where he painted on weekdays. He saw him pull out a scroll from the wooden barrel and open it. While looking at it, he said, "This lady looks very much like my deceased wife. She asks for painting for her husband, and she is sincere and touching. I should help her with my own help."

Zhao Quan walked over as if he was lost, and then looked at the woman on the old man's scroll, and his nose was crooked.

Although the husband has decorated his beloved wife's pen and ink due to his selfish preference, how can this woman look like Liu Miantang with a thick waist and a lovable face?

He was angry, and Zhao Quan shouted without hesitation: "Where is Mrs. Zun like Miss Liu?"

The old man's eyes were filled with tears, and he seemed to be moved, and he said in a trembling voice: "The eyes look very similar..."

During his lifetime, his wife never let him do any housework, and took on everything alone, supporting his family. She was a capable and powerful woman who was expelled from far and near.

If the wife was still there, he would have agreed to Zhao Quan's high price, making him famous, and letting his beloved wife suffer all the hardships.

But his beloved wife died of illness and no one shared the joy of his success. What's the use of waiting for a false reputation? The vast houses and buildings are not as good as the thatched houses that his beloved wife has repaired little by little. He doesn't want to go anywhere except here.

It would be better for him to do his best to help the young woman who was also eager to protect her husband and lift the door beam.

When Liu Miantang made a decision with his husband, he was afraid that Zhao Quan would disrupt the situation, so he paid one or two extra deposits.

The husband's original surname is Chen, and his single name is "Shi". Although Mr. Chen did not ask for too high prices, Liu Miantang was unwilling to take advantage of him, so he decided first that if the exquisite paintings made her store business better, she would have to process money for the husband.

Liu Miantang felt that as long as the business sales were good, she would be able to pay Mr. Chen more than 100 taels of silver in the future.

Poor Marquis of Huainan came in excitement and returned in disappointment. When he got on the carriage and left, he didn't even look at Miantang. He was probably angry. He only imitated Liu Miantang, called the servant, and asked him to pass on the message: "You tell your wife that she is so annoying, and I will not forgive her!"

After saying that, the Marquis waved his sleeves and left angrily.

It was so good that Liu Miantang was not afraid of quarrel with the miracle doctor. Anyway, her husband didn't let her talk to Zhao Quan, so she didn't care and just returned home excitedly.

After finding a master painter, she has a famous store treasure, so her porcelain will no longer be destroyed in ordinary shops!

At that time, when officials are at ease to learn chess, they can be decent enough to call the servants, and Mother Li and the others can also stay in Cui's family for retirement.

Mian Tang’s long-cherished wish is not high, she just wants to stay in her house and manage her life well.

The next day, she chose a relatively delicate porcelain from several magnetic kilns that she supplied, and asked them to choose a stack of clear white porcelain plates for her to draw the plates.

But everything was ready, Miantang, who was about to do something big, was poured a basin of cold water by a porcelain kiln worker who came to deliver the plate.

The guy heard that these plates were to be painted for others, so he kindly reminded the laywoman.

"Mrs. Cui, the hand-painted porcelain plate is no longer as good as painting on paper. You can finish it with all your time. Because the porcelain surface is too smooth, the pattern of beans must be dipped in five or six times. The pigment is not like on paper, and it can absorb water and solidify immediately. The drying speed is much slower than on paper... And the line must be fired after the line is drawn to continue coloring, which is very time-consuming. Even if you draw it well, if the temperature of the porcelain kiln is not controlled properly in the middle, the porcelain may burn the porcelain..."

Speaking of this, the mate shook his head and said, "Madam, if you don't believe me, please inquire. There is only one hand-painted porcelain in the town, which is the old He family with ancestral craftsmanship. But his family is given to the royal family's royal tribute! Your ambition is great, but you won't stick to it!"

After the guy finished speaking, he shook his head and went back to the porcelain kiln to work.

Liu Miantang now understands what it means to be like a mountain.

She originally thought of borrowing Mr. Chen's wonderful writing and painting a few plates, which would boost the business and make the store prosperous. Now she realized that she was thinking it was simple.

Thinking of this, she turned around to Mr. Chen who had been staying aside and said, "Sir, you heard it too. I'm really sorry. If I hadn't agreed to me, you could have a hundred taels of silver from Mr. Zhao... Since it's impossible to paint a porcelain plate, I'll go to Mr. Zhao to compensate me later, and ask him to continue to buy your paintings... If he doesn't buy it... I will also give Mr. Zhao a sum of money to compensate, but it's incomparable to Mr. Zhao's number... "

Mr. Chen was sitting at the table eating the lunch brought by Li's mother to Liu Miantang. These days, Mrs. Li was in a good mood and always made meat for Miantang. Today, what she made was a bowl of cooked and bright red Dongpo pork, with the skin shimmering with tempting crystal light. She picked it up with chopsticks and was trembling.

Mr. Heebi hadn't eaten this kind of delicacy for a long time, and it was a storm! After eating all the meat, he ate it with his beard and rubbed the gravy at the bottom of the bowl with the pancake crust.

After hearing Liu Miantang's shameful words, Mr. Chen wiped his mouth and waved his hand indifferently: "I haven't tried it, how can my wife give up easily? Since this hand-painting needs to be drawn and burned, I will go to the porcelain kiln today and guard the stove to try it. My wife only needs to deliver me twice a day."

Since the teacher was willing to try hard, Liu Miantang was naturally very grateful and told Mother Li to cook for the husband, so that there must be fish and meat for each meal.

Li's mother had no interest in revitalizing the Beijie home business, but she did not stop her from seeing Liu Miantang's energetic appearance.

Since she is a person with few good days, it is enough to let her behave properly. If she really makes money, maybe the prince will reward her and make her a lonely woman a good person.
