Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Things did not go beyond Xu Jian's expectations. When he hung Shen Chenai's new work on the wall, he was already prepared for the future, but everyone's love for Shen Chenai's new work far exceeded his expectations. estimate.

Shen Chenai's realistic painting style and special painting method are quite in line with the temperament of Liangzhou people, so as soon as his paintings were put on display, they were all bought by those who came to pick them up.

Some people who couldn't buy it didn't give up, and wanted to leave the fixed money to paint with Xu Jianjian, but Xu Jian knew Shen Chenai's temper, and he didn't dare to do this kind of proposal for Shen Chenai, so he had to decline all of them.

However, he still told Shen Chenai the news that someone paid a lot of money to ask for a painting, but Shen Chenai was no longer interested in it, and now he paints entirely according to his own mood.When the inspiration is good, I paint a few pictures with splashes of ink. When there is no inspiration, I press the paper and seal it. Go out for a walk, and enjoy the current life wholeheartedly.

So although Shen Chenai is quite well-known in Liangzhou Prefecture now, but there are not too many paintings that have been handed down. Many people who have inquired about his identity came to ask for paintings with money, but Shen Chenai did not want to perfunctory them. , so when he doesn't want to pick up the pen, no amount of retouching fee can get him a painting.

Now Shen Chenyi has put more energy into his own works. For those paintings that he is not satisfied with, Shen Chenyi will burn them directly, and he will never let those things spread out.

With such excellence, what can be passed on is naturally high-quality goods.And the existence of those high-quality goods has greatly enhanced Shen Chenai's reputation. After such repetitions, Shen Chenai here in Fengcheng suddenly had the meaning of Luoyang Zhigui.

On this day, Shen Chenai brought back the framed sketch of Luo Ding's bust from Xu Jian.He also took back his share of the consignment paintings.

Shen Chenai can be regarded as a little famous now. Many bosses who run calligraphy and painting studios have come to try to lure him into the group. The share they pay is higher than that of Jixianzhai. Calligraphy and painting have a wider market.

These people were all rejected by Shen Chenai without hesitation. Although Shen Chenai was not a gentleman, he was definitely not a villain.When his reputation was not well known, it was Xu Jian who leaned down and gave him a hand. Although he was lucky enough to survive now, he would never do anything that betrayed his promise.

Xu Jian was also aware of other studies' wooing Shen Chenai, so this time he took the initiative to propose to recalculate the profit and dividend with Shen Chenai, but Shen Chenai disagreed. It was a good thing to say at the beginning. Since the ratio has been set, there is no reason to change it.

Xu Jian was very moved by Shen Chenai's attitude. She felt that she had read the right person, and she tried her best to build contacts for Shen Chenai's paintings from then on. Here, Shen Chenai also paid more attention to her own works in order to make greater progress in the future. space.

Don't look at the high evaluation of Shen Chenai's works by the outside world, but Shen Chenai knows very well in his heart that many of those praises are due to his novel style of painting. Everyone, there is still some distance.

However, he is not discouraged. In the world of calligraphy and painting, there is always a mountain that is still strong. The gap with others is exactly the goal that he will work hard for in the future.

Shen Chenai, who had strengthened her confidence, sat on the kang with her sketches and money in her arms and waited for Luo Ding to come back. After seeing him enter the room, she obediently handed over the things she was holding in her arms.

Now everyone in Fengcheng knows that Shen Chenai's paintings are very valuable, but few people know that he himself is still a breeze.Every time after receiving the share, Shen Chenai would obediently hand it in, and then waited to get her pocket money from Luo Ding.

But obviously, Luo Ding was more interested in his half-length sketch today, so he didn't just look at the bank note, but hugged the scroll and couldn't put it down.

Shen Chenai said that the sketch has been framed, and Luo Ding can hang it on the wall to enjoy it at any time.But Luo Ding couldn't bear it, he was afraid that someone would touch the thing hanging on the wall and break it, so he carefully kept the sketch.

After putting away the sketches, Luo Ding flipped through the banknotes that Shen Chenai handed over, still picked a whole number to keep, and pushed the rest back to Shen Chenai for him to keep, then Luo Ding asked Shen Chenai: " I heard people say that in Boss Xu's store, there will be no paintings of yours for sale years ago?"

Shen Chenxi nodded and said: "There are still more than 20 days until the Chinese New Year, I want to rest and recuperate. So I told the little boss that I closed my pen a year ago. Five years ago, there was no need to come to me to pick up paintings."

Hearing this, Luo Ding nodded and said: "That's just right. Our store is doing accounts at the end of the year, and there are not enough manpower. If you are bored at home, come to the store to help."

Shen Chenai agreed after much deliberation, so Luo Ding carried him to the butcher shop the next day, and gave him part of the account books from January last year.Shen Chenai opened the account book very consciously, and started typing at the abacus.

As noon approached, the guys began to divide their meals for breaks. Shen Chenai also put down her abacus and moved her shoulders, then sat there and waited for Luo Ding to help him cook.

Just when everyone finished their meals and was about to eat, suddenly a middle-aged man dressed like a comprador walked in from outside the gate.

After the man entered the room, he looked around first, and then asked everyone who was eating: "Which one of you is the shopkeeper?"

Upon hearing this, Shuanzi put down the bowl in his hand and got up and said, "I am, sir, what do you want?"

The middle-aged man heard the words and said: "I am the comprador of Yuefu. Our boss wants two piglets that are more than 100 days old tomorrow. Can you send them here?"

Shuanzi was a little surprised when he heard that, there are too few people in Liangzhou who eat suckling pigs, and even the chefs in the restaurant rarely know how to cook roast suckling pigs, so this is the first time he has encountered such a request.

Seeing that Shuanzi was in a daze, the comprador asked in surprise, "It shouldn't be difficult to get two suckling pigs, right? On the edge of Fengcheng, aren't there many farmers raising pigs for you now?"

At this moment, Luo Ding also put down his job and came over, he said to the middle-aged man: "Two suckling pigs are indeed not difficult to get, we will definitely send them to the family tomorrow morning, but I don't know Who is your boss?"

The middle-aged man heard the words and returned: "Yuefu in the north of the city is the residence of our boss. Boss Luo, you can just ask someone to deliver the suckling pig directly to the corner gate. Someone from the kitchen will come and pick it up."

Luo Ding asked in surprise when he heard the words: "Your master is Yue Chong Yue Jiuye?"

Hearing the words, the comprador nodded and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Luo Ding replied: "It's nothing, since it's something that Yue Jiuye's family wants, of course we'll prepare it and deliver it to you tomorrow morning."

The comprador was very happy when he heard the words, and while taking money out of his pocket, he asked, "How much should I pay for the deposit?"

Luo Ding heard the words and said: "There is no need to keep a penny."

The middle-aged man looked at Luo Ding in surprise when he heard the words. Is this guy planning to give it away for nothing if he doesn't take his money?He has been a comprador for such a long time, and this is the first time he has encountered such a boss.

Luo Ding obviously understood the look in the comprador's eyes, so he quickly explained: "My guest, don't get me wrong. Although I haven't met your boss, I have a long-standing friendship. A few days ago, my Qidi was arrested. The gangsters kidnapped me, and thanks to Mr. Yue's great help, my Qidi was able to return safely. Mr. Yue has done me such a big favor. There are a lot of things going on inside, and it was delayed because I couldn't separate myself for a while. Since it is what his family wants this time, I will naturally pick the best one and send it over, and I will definitely not accept a penny."

The comprador heard the words and thought about it. It seems that the brothers have indeed mentioned it recently, saying that the boss used flying pigeons to stop the boat at the ferry. It turned out that it was because of the Luo family.

Thinking of this, the comprador finally knew why Luo Ding didn't take his money, but he still said to Luo Ding: "I'm not clear about the matter between Boss Luo and our boss. I know, the boss asked me to go out to buy things. If I take the things back but keep the money, if the boss finds out, they will never let me go. So boss Luo, please don’t embarrass me, you If you want to come to thank me, then you go, if I dare to take the things away without paying, I will definitely be stripped by the housekeeper when I go back."

Luo Ding persuaded and persuaded after hearing the words, but the comprador still disagreed with taking things without giving money.Luo Ding was very helpless when he saw this, so he had to ask Shuanzi to give him a [-]% discount, and now the comprador agreed.

After sending the comprador away, Luo Ding arranged for the men to pick pigs in the village, while changing the clothes he wore when he was working. Shen Chenxi saw that he looked like he was about to leave, so he asked: " Where are you going?"

Luo Ding took the bank note from the counter and said, "The last time you were snatched away by Pi Daxing, it was Yue Jiu who sent pigeons to send letters and stopped the ferry, so that I had time to rush over to rescue you. Originally, I wanted to go to the door earlier to thank them, but it was delayed when there were too many things at the end of the year. This time, it happened that their family was asking for something, and I took this opportunity to go there in person to express my gratitude to them. "

"So are you going out to buy gifts?" Shen Chenai asked

"Well, there isn't much that can be bought at home, so I have to buy some now." Luo Ding replied as he said, and put the banknote roll he had taken out into his arms, Then he said to everyone in the room: "I'll be back after I go out for a while, if you have anything to do, you can talk to the shopkeeper."

Hearing that everyone agreed, Luo Ding went out in peace.
