Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

He held Yu Ru's hand and refused to let go. He turned his head to look at the paintings on the ground and asked, "Aru, how come you have drawn so many paintings at once? Did you draw them today?"

Yu Ru nodded, broke free from his hand and used sign language.

[All are ordered by customers. The simple ones are painted today, and the complex ones are old works.]

Yun Jixing walked around her and came to the desk, carefully examining the orchid painting on the desk, then returned to her side, put his arm around her waist and asked with a smile: "Teacher Yu, how much does it cost to ask you to paint a masterpiece?"

His strange address made Yu Ru's hands tremble, but she remained calm. She reached out and took one of his hands, leading him to the pile of pictures on the floor.

She pointed at one of the orchid paintings, then took out her phone and typed in the memo: This simple plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum painting is usually priced between 888 and 1888 yuan, and if it is decorated with butterflies and insects, it will be sold for 2888 yuan. Like the painting of Guanyin on the wall, this kind of painting is priced according to the length and completion time, usually between 8.8 and 38.8 yuan. The price of other gods and immortals is also the same as long as the completion time is between one to two months. A set of portraits of the Four Heavenly Kings usually takes three or four months to complete, and the price is between 38.8 and 288.8 yuan. Overly complex paintings like the Vajrabhairava hanging on the far right, which take four months or more to complete, are all priced from 66 yuan, with no upper limit. Paintings with a length of more than three meters start at 666 million yuan, with no upper limit, and paintings with a length of five meters start at 888 million yuan, with no upper limit.

For a painting worth 660,000 yuan, most bosses would like to get rich, so she could fool them a bit and raise the price of the painting from 660,000 yuan to 880,000 yuan.

Before that, she would assess the customer's worth. If the customer had done something bad like squeezing workers' wages, she would directly ask for 1.88 million. If she met a big fool who didn't know the value of the goods, had a lot of money and loved to pretend, she would directly ask for 2.88 million.

In short, the worse the other party does, the higher the price she asks for. If the other party is a good person, she will not cheat and will just make a little profit while breaking even.

Generally, she would sign a contract with the other party for paintings worth more than 100,000 yuan. With the contract, even if the other party regretted not wanting the painting, the money in her pocket could not be returned. But so far, she has not met anyone who regretted not wanting the painting, and they would basically come back to her to buy it back.

Those who were not short of money would often give her all the money at once. If they were short of money, they would arrange for a middleman to bargain with her, but she would not lose out either. In most cases, she would let the other party buy the painting at a price of 1.08 million or 880,000, so that they would appear to have made a profit.

In fact, for her, it is not a loss-making deal.

There was no need to tell Yun Jixing the other price, as it would make her look like a charlatan, deceiving people and cheating them out of their money, although she had indeed deceived people and taken more money from them before.

After reading the words in her memo, Yun Jixing went to look at the row of portraits of gods hanging on the wall.

All the portraits of gods and immortals are solemn and majestic, with both form and spirit. They are free and unrestrained in freehand style, and meticulous in meticulous brushwork. After appreciating them, one has the urge to kneel down and worship them. I don’t know whether it is because of the influence of Buddhism and Taoism, or because of the painters. In short, there is no doubt that the painters’ painting skills and artistic conception are really impressive.

"What a great painting, Aru." Yun Jixing couldn't help but move closer to one of the paintings of Water Moon Guanyin and looked at it closely. He immediately turned back to look at Yu Ru, "Aru, you are amazing. This is a painting by a genius."

After praising her, he walked back to Yu Ru, put his hands on her waist, and lifted her up. "My little genius, how come you are so amazing?"

Yu Ru turned her eyes away embarrassedly and nodded in response to him.

He lifted her up and spun her around before lowering her back to the ground.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Yun Jixing's lips leaned forward and kissed her.

In fact, Yu Ru didn't want to kiss him now, because she had already taken a shower, and Yun Jixing had just come back from outside and she felt a little dirty, but he was so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse and could only let him do it.

She stared slightly, trying to look at Yun Jixing who was kissing her. He kissed her once, held her face and watched her smile, and then kissed her again after she smiled, and even said some compliments.

"My sweetheart is the best at everything he does, 啾～"

"My dear Aru, you are the best in the world..."

"That's amazing, how come you're so lovable?"

"My dear, falling in love with you is easier than drinking water. I love you so much."

"Good Aru, my talented wife, I will organize an exhibition for you. Your talent should be praised by the whole world."

……

Yu Ru was so weak from his kiss that her whole body went limp, especially her legs, which were so limp that she could not even stand. She could not quite hear what Yun Jixing was saying, so she could only nod her head. The next moment, she collapsed in his arms.

Yun Jixing picked her up with a smile, and carried her to the sofa nearby and sat down.

"Aru, I just came back from outside and I'm dirty. Let me wrap you up with a blanket so that the dust on my body won't get on you."

This was not to ask for Yu Ru's opinion, but just to explain to her. After saying this, he immediately pulled a blanket over to wrap her tightly, then put her on his lap against his body and continued to kiss her.

Three days later,

Accompanied by three bodyguards, Yan Zi, Chang Tui and Ju Jie, Yu Ru went to the pet hospital to pick up the three dogs rescued from Maicheng.

All three dogs are in good condition at the moment and can be taken home. They can go for a check-up later.

They had successfully picked up the dog and were on their way back to Jianshan Yunting.

The three dogs were all wearing Elizabethan collars so they couldn't bite anyone. So Sister Ju started to tease the husky that she was temporarily controlling. Although the husky was a stray dog ​​she picked up from outside, it looked strong and must have been a stray for a short time. It looked quite scary.

Seeing Sister Ju always teasing it, Changtui couldn't help but said, "Sister Ju, you'd better stop teasing that dog. It's such a big dog and looks fierce. I don't even dare to get close to it. It will go crazy and hurt you by accident, which will be troublesome."

"It shouldn't be like that. It has a ring around its neck." Sister Ju smiled a little embarrassedly, and then looked at Yu Ru who was sitting alone in the back seat. "Madam, I just thought this dog looked familiar, so I teased it to see if it was what I thought."

Yu Ru smiled and nodded.

Sister Ju observed her expression and saw that she was about to ask more questions, so she said to herself: "Madam, I think this dog looks like Mr. Yun Quan's dog. A few years ago, there was a big banquet at the old house for the old lady's birthday. I went to help and happened to see Mr. Yun Quan walking two dogs. One was called something, Husky, no, Husky, and the other was a Teddy dog. I think the Husky we picked up now looks a lot like Mr. Yun Quan's dog."
