The old east wind comes to dream

When Fu You and Wang Shuli came forward, Gu Zizhan and the two of them met Dali Temple Qing Yan Junchi and Shaoqing Ma Chengda, and were led to their respective rooms where they would work in the future.

Gu Zizhan is the prime minister of the sixth grade temple, and he shares the same room with a temple official named Xing Kang, who is the fifth grade official, and Gu Zizhan is a newcomer, and he follows Xing Kang to learn how to handle cases on weekdays.Fu You and Wang Shuli also fought with the two Si Cheng respectively.

The three of them are all inexperienced novices. Although they all have errands for inspection and investigation, but because they don't understand anything at the moment, they all stay in Dali Temple to sort out their previous file study experience, and they are not yet qualified to go on inspection tours.

Dali Temple has accumulated many old case files, and the three of them burrow into the pile of old papers every day, and they are all devastated.Yan Junchi has been an official in Dali Temple for many years. He has experienced and experienced. He has solved many beautiful cases. There are very few cases that have not yet been investigated. break.But the most recent of these cases was three years old, and the others were earlier, because there were no clues, they were all locked in the files.

When the sun came out of the Taotie Tower, Gu Zizhan told Fu You that he planned to start a blind bag business.Fu You immediately felt that he had a place to play, and clamored to partner with Gu Zizhan to make money.Gu Zizhan naturally agreed.

After hitting it off, Fu You was very efficient in handling things, and soon together with Duan Yong, he chose a shop facing the street in the west of the city.This shop was originally a Jiahuaben shop, but it was vacant because the previous owner was in a hurry to go back to his hometown.The price is very fair, and what makes Gu Zizhan even more satisfied is that it is very close to Rongqingzhai. She still remembers that Chu Lan likes Rongqingzhai's pastries very much.

It was inconvenient for Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan to come forward, so Fu You took care of everything outside.It just so happens that Fu You likes to be lively and is also good at dealing with people other than Wang Shuli, so Gu Zizhan and Chu Lan are naturally happy to be at leisure.

Gu Zizhan named the shop Bozhongtang, which means "gathering from all families".Every brocade bag is printed with the name of Bozhongtang, and every calligraphy and painting copied by Chu Lan is divided into eight parts, and each part is printed with a seal engraved with the word "Xiaoyao".Daoist Yuan Hui privately gave her the word "Feiyou" when Chu Lan was married to Ji. Gu Zizhan felt that this name was a bit restrictive, and after asking what Chu Lan meant, he used "Xiaoyao" as Chu Lan's pseudonym.

The imitation of treasures still needs some work, so Gu Zizhan planned to start with the copying of calligraphy and painting.Fu You stole several calligraphy and paintings of Mr. You Jun and Ji Yagong from his elder brother Fu Peng. The number of characters was less than a hundred characters, including the last time that was won by Wang Shuli and Gu Zizhan brought it back for him. Stele of Quanshan Temple".After Gu Zizhan received it, he went to give it to Chu Lan.

Unexpectedly, after Chu Lan saw the "Mingquan Mountain Monument", she couldn't help but smile slightly.

Jian Wei on the side giggled even more.

Gu Zizhan was puzzled, and asked Jianwei: "What's the matter? How do you learn how to call a pigeon?"

Seeing slightly ashamed and annoyed, he snorted at her and complained to Chu Lan in front of Gu Zizhan.

Chu Lan gave Gu Zizhan a funny look, said a few words of comfort to Jianwei, and let her go out first.

Gu Zizhan had already guessed something at this time, his eyes were burning, he stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the painting "Mingquan" has something to do with the talented woman in front of me?"

Chu Lan felt a little embarrassed when she was seen, waved her hand to avoid her, and gave her another look, "Glib!" Then he laughed, and couldn't help adding a bit of pride to his words: "That piece of "Mingquan" is not the original work of Mr. You Jun, It was my copy. When my cousin saw that I copied it well, he kept it as a collection."

Gu Zizhan's eyes became brighter. After meeting Chu Lan, every day would bring her endless surprises.Can't help but praise: "Alan, you are amazing!" Then he said proudly: "I am amazing too!"

Chu Lan was a little puzzled, and asked jokingly, "What's so great about you?"

Gu Zizhan blinked, "I know the real thing with my eyes, and a husband is worth more than his wife, isn't that amazing?"

Glancing at her, Chu Lan's mood was also moved by her, and said angrily: "Slick tongue!"

**********

On the first day of December, Bozhong Hall officially opened.

Gu Zizhan was reluctant to let Chu Lan get involved, so he ordered Duan Yong to find some people who were good at copying. After Fu You's selection, 12 people were left behind.The paintings and calligraphy copied by these 12 people have no personal seals, only the seal of Bozhongtang.

In the early days, Gu Zizhan planned to ask Chu Lan to copy only twenty pieces, but in the end Chu Lan handed over fifty pieces.Gu Zizhan only reserved ten groups of these fifty pieces for sale as a whole set, and took out twenty pieces out of the remaining forty or so pieces, disassembled them with the more than eight hundred pieces of copying masters, and put them into Bozhongtang for unified production. It became the first batch of blind bags that were randomly selected in the store.

Dazhao's one tael of silver is the same price as the Yiguan copper coin, that is, the one thousand Wen copper coin.A single blind bag is sold for [-] renminbi, and if you buy a set of [-], you can enjoy a discounted price within [-] days of the new opening of Bozhongtang, only [-] taels of silver.Chu Lan's calligraphy and paintings with the seal of "Xiaoyao" are also among them. Whether they can be drawn or not depends on everyone's luck.Prices in Dazhao are relatively stable. An ordinary family of four or five can earn about five or six taels of silver a month, and one or two blind bags are still affordable.Moreover, most of the audiences of Bozhongtang are scholars, and those who can afford to go to school will of course be richer.

On the opening day, Fu You was wearing a moon-white brocade gown with auspicious cloud patterns patterned on the neckline and sleeves with blue silk threads, and matched with a hair crown made of suet and white jade, which made him look a bit gentle, even a little fat. The figure is well concealed.Leading a few young men dressed in the uniforms of the imperial eunuch students to stand at the door, quite a bit of a literati meeting posture.

Gu Zizhan, as the boss behind the scenes, naturally wanted to come to join him, and he even specially wore the crimson uniform of the prince's son.

After Xing Kang heard about it, he also brought some officials from Dali Temple who had made good friends with him to go there.

Fu You greeted the visitor with a smile on his face, and when he saw Gu Zizhan and his party, he quickly pulled her up and led her into the house.When Gu Zizhan listened to him talking, he straightened his waist and tucked in his stomach, his voice was like a bell, and he couldn't help joking: "Boss Fu, you look good today, your belly seems to be a lot smaller."

When Fu You heard this, he was immediately discouraged, his stomach couldn't help but bulge, and he vomited bitterness to Gu Zizhan: "I'm suffocating to death. I kept breathing just now. I'm afraid that my stomach will reveal that I am not a scholar."

Xing Kang was listening, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and joked: "Sure enough, the light-colored clothes are more suitable for Boss Fu, and the black official robes of Dali Temple usually make the pearl dust."

Fu You blushed rarely when he heard Shangguan joking.He hurriedly waved his hands, and did not forget to sell: "Guests, don't make fun of me. Come and take a look inside. This store is of high quality and low price, and there is no deception! Pass by, don't miss it! There are treasures hidden in it, can you The choice depends entirely on luck!" After that, he carefully introduced how to buy blind bags, specifically explaining that the ones with the word "Xiaoyao" printed on them are the best products.

Gu Zizhan stepped forward to check first, and picked up one of the brocade bags under Fu You's silent wink.

After tearing off the sealed sticker and untiing the ribbon, Gu Zizhan took out a folded piece of rice paper from the brocade bag.Unfolding carefully, Xing Kang, who was standing beside her and staring intently, exclaimed, "This, this is actually Ji Yagong's "Shoushan Stone"!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took the paper from Gu Zizhan's hand and looked at it carefully.While looking at it, I couldn’t help admiring again and again: "Wonderful! Wonderful! These mountains, rocks, flowing water, and pines and cypresses are really the handwriting of Ji Yagong!" I couldn’t help but introduce to others that the painting of "Shoushan Stone" is not It is not a single stone, but the whole mountain scenery. The pines and cypresses in the mountains are lush and lush. The subtlety is that the flowing water in the mountains just outlines the word "Shou" from top to bottom.

Seeing the edge of the paper, Xing Kang was in high spirits, but found that the painting had been cut, looked up and down several times, and couldn't help asking Fu You: "Fu Sizhi, why is this painting incomplete? What about the rest of the painting?" ?”

Fu You saw that several people were already eager to give it a try under Xing Kang's previous explanation, and he was in a good mood at this time, pointing to the seven brocade bags put together next to him, he laughed and said, "It's here Among them! Xing Sizheng can still remember what the official said earlier, eight brocade bags are a complete set, and the one in your hand is only one-eighth of "Shoushan Stone"!"

Xing Kang was too excited to see the famous painting at first, and forgot Fu You's previous introduction for a while, but now he has also reacted.As the head of the Dali Temple, his monthly salary is 15 taels of silver, but in his forties, there are old and young, and he needs to maintain the livelihood of a large family, so he took out six taels of silver to buy a A full set, still a bit of a pain in the ass.

While hesitating, Gu Zizhan spoke from the side, and said to Fu You: "Brother Fu, I bought the whole set of "Shoushan Stone"!" While talking, he handed Fu You six taels of silver.

Fu You suddenly raised his eyebrows, took the money with a smile, and praised Gu Zizhan, "Gu Shizi has good eyesight! This is the first business that the store has opened. Here is a gift certificate for the store. I will come again next time." , you can choose a blind bag for free." After that, he stuffed Gu Zizhan with an exquisite cardboard with the word "eight hundred" written on it.The card feels textured and clearly marked.

Gu Zizhan took it away with a smile, and immediately opened the other seven brocade bags.Xing Kang followed Gu Zizhan closely, put the eight pieces of paper together, and saw a complete "Shoushan Stone".

Xing Kang couldn't help admiring again, his face almost stuck to the painting, he just couldn't put it down.But after looking carefully, I found that the paintings on the seven sheets of paper that were disassembled later seemed to be slightly different from the first one.

The mountains, rocks and flowing water on the first piece of rice paper are natural and smooth, and the natural aura is vivid on the paper. Looking at the other seven pieces, although they are also excellent works, but compared with the first piece, they seem a bit dull and crafty.Taking a closer look, Xing Kang found that on the lower left corner of the first piece of paper, there was a small word "Xiaoyao" printed on it.

Take it to ask Fu You, Fu You patted his stomach that he couldn't take back, and explained with a smile: "This one is made by 'Mr. You will be able to draw the masterpiece of 'Mr. Xiaoyao', it seems that you and her really have a great fate!"

Gu Zizhan almost laughed at the side.

The others didn't know the reason, but they all envied Gu Zizhan's luck.

Seeing that several people had handed in money to select brocade bags, Fu Youyi took care of the sales strategy given to him by Zizhan, explaining that the second and third customers who purchased could get cards with the word "Wu Bai" printed on them. The first time can be worth [-] coins; the rest from the fourth to the tenth place can get "three hundred" cards, and the same can be used as three hundred coins.

At the same time, all customers who have purchased have registered their names and private seals in the account book, and converted them into points according to the method of one tael of silver for one point, which can be exchanged for future promotional activities of Bozhongtang.

Soon, the ten places were full, and now everyone got together again in twos and threes, watching and commenting on the calligraphy and painting works in their hands.It's just that no one can get Mr. Xiaoyao's works anymore, which is a pity, and it arouses the urge to buy again.

Fu You gradually retreated to the side, looking at the bustling scene in the store, he was so happy that he could see his teeth but not his eyes.

Seeing that Xing Kang also bought two, Gu Zizhan didn't draw the one with the word "Xiaoyao" printed on it, obviously he still has something to say.Knowing that his family is not very rich, he stuffed the "eight hundred" card into his hand.

Xing Kang wanted to decline, but Gu Zizhan waved his hands again and again, forcing him to accept it.Gu Zizhan knew very well that if it weren't for Xing Kang's eloquent and voluntary explanation before, how would there be so many people eager to buy it.Besides, Xing Kang praised Mr. Xiaoyao very much just now, and hearing someone praise Chulan is more pleasing than hearing her praise herself.

But he refused, so Xing Kang had no choice but to accept it, and immediately went to pick another one.This time, Xing Kang drew Ouyang Kun's "Shan Guan Yue".

Ouyang Kun was a descendant of the royal family a few generations ago. After submitting to the later dynasty, he was granted the title of Marquis of Anshun. He lived a miserable life and died young soon.His poems, calligraphy and paintings are all extraordinary, especially this song "Shan Guanyue", which is full of reminiscences of the rich life in the past and reflections on the failure of the rule of the motherland.Dazhao's style of writing is open, and he has no taboos about the writing of previous dynasties, so this catchy "Shanguanyue" can be said to be a household name.

However, very few of Ouyang Kun's calligraphy and paintings have been handed down, so although the content has long been familiar to people, Xing Kang was very pleasantly surprised to see this rare and high-quality copy.Even if this is not from Mr. Xiaoyao, it is still worth the money.

Everyone returned home happily.

When it was closing time at night, Fu You made a rough calculation of today's turnover, and actually sold more than 100 brocade bags, earning nearly a hundred taels of silver.After excluding various costs, I made a net profit of 50 taels.With Gu Zizhan forty-six, 20 taels of silver is almost comparable to his half-year salary in Dali Temple.

You can earn so much in one day, Fu You feels that he is really following the right person.Scratching his head again, he sighed in his heart, his little cousin really has vision, in the future she will marry such a rich man and just spend all day counting money at home!
