    ?

    Tong Xiaole stopped, and picked up a mirror. It was round, with double-lined square rails outside the button, and double-stacked grass leaves and panchi patterns on the four corners of the square rails.  She read out the eight characters on Shangjun's inscription casually.

    "Never meet each other in the long run, and never forget the long run."

    "My little brother has a good eye. This is a thing handed down from the Western Chu period. It is called the panchi grass leaf pattern mirror. It has been more than two hundred years ago, and it is considered an antique."

    When Tong Xiaole heard it, yo!  antique!  She laughed and said: "Boss, don't think I'm a foreigner, just lie to me. This mirror is decorated with flowers and plants. It only became popular at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's only fifty years old at most. Well, really  Come on, make an offer."

    She took a fancy to the engraved inscription, and thought it must be good to use it to coax the elder sister who loves Wenmo in the Junyuan!

    "Hey! Don't dare to call me the boss, I'm just a peddler who is struggling to make ends meet. Brother has a unique vision, so I dare not lie to you. How about it, twenty dollars."

    "Five cents!" Tong Xiaole chopped off half of it with a sharp knife and an axe. Seeing the hawker's face of embarrassment, he hurriedly said, "Brother, you can pick me a dozen more beautiful and exquisite ones, and I will buy them together."

    "Little brother, this price is really out of reach." The peddler was still struggling.

    Upon hearing this, Tong Xiaole immediately put down the panchi leaf mirror in her hand, and walked away.

    The peddler kept yelling at her: "Little brother, wait a minute, I suffered a little bit from this mirror, so I sold it to you. Please take care of my business in the future."

    Tong Xiaole smiled, these peddlers have become masters!  If she hadn't been thinking about the mirror with the dragon pattern, she would have planned to haggle over the price all the way to play for a while!

    "Brother, remember to pick some good-looking ones, with more complicated patterns."

    Tong Xiaole bought more than a dozen mirrors in one go with a smile, and continued shopping.

    When she walked from Baolan Street to the end of the alley, she already had a few horses and a lot of food in her hands, most of which were gifts for Tong Laopai and Yan Xiangtian.

    Passing by a shop called "Mo Baoxuan", which operates the Four Treasures of the Study, she stopped and went in to buy some rice paper and ink for painting.

    When I checked out and was about to leave, I saw a folding fan hanging on the wall with blue-green ribs and a blank surface.

    "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this fan?"

    She was very interested and asked casually.  Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head and said, "This fan is left by the owner of my shop. It hasn't been painted on yet, so I don't plan to buy or sell it."

    "It's just right that the fan is blank! The shopkeeper can sell it to me." Tong Xiaole wanted to bring some gifts back to Wei Yuyang, but that guy often traveled to the mountains and rivers, and he saw so many things that he didn't like many of them.

    The fan bones of this fan look smooth and moist, as if made of jade. If she adds some patterns on the fan and gives it to that kid, she will be doing him a favor.

    "This" The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, took out the four treasures of the study from behind the counter and said to Tong Xiaole: "Since my lord doesn't dislike this unfinished fan, I don't feel comfortable taking money from you. I think you are a person who knows how to read and write, why don't you give it to me?"  Take a pair of ink treasures, and replace the fan. I will also explain to my master."

    When Tong Xiaole heard it, yo!  Buy without money?  This shopkeeper is really elegant.

    With joy on her face, she quickly said: "I'm not very good at writing, but I'm good at drawing. It's my first time in Zhuangkang City. I saw that there are many beauties here, so I drew a picture of beauties dressing in a mirror and gave it to your master."

    She immediately put down the things in her hands and splashed ink on the paper.

    ?Because she loved going to Xinghua Street to observe women since she was a child, the beauties she painted are graceful, charming and vivid.

    Character portraits are her specialty!  This is why her nude paintings of Leng Xifeng sell so well.

    After a while, a picture of a beauty dressing in a mirror appeared on the paper, because she had just bought a mirror with a dragon leaf pattern, so she also drew the mirror in it.

    "Young master's painting skills are exquisite, please also write down the name of the painting." The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw it, and quickly reminded him.

    Hearing this, Tong Xiaole felt proud of himself as a great writer, so he happily left his name on the paper¡ª¡ªTong Wenzhi.

    Men's clothing is popular all over the world, and it is appropriate to have a pseudonym. Tong Xiaole's name is too easy for people to know that she is a woman.

    The shopkeeper carefully put away the painting, took the fan hanging on the wall and handed it to her.

    When she went out with her big bags and small bags, she realized that it was getting late and it was past the time to meet the boatmen. She couldn't delay now, and hurried towards Lan Ruota.

    "Master Leng, the shopkeepers from the east, west, south, and north of the city are all here, and some of the old customers of the Leng family's salt shop are also here. After we're done, let's go to the Xinqing Building in the city to get drunk, how about it?"  The shopkeeper's dialect Qing is local.?, in the Mandarin spoken, there is also the dialect of Zhuang Kangcheng, with a slightly rising ending.

    Leng Xifeng knew that the Xinqing Building was like Xinghua Street, and when she came to Zhuangkang City on weekdays, she mostly went there.

    Beautiful people, good wine, good food There is no better place to discuss business than this.

    "Treasurer Fang is the host, everything is up to you!" Leng Xifeng agreed with a smile, and drank several more glasses with Fang Yanqing.

    At night, when the lights are on, there is no curfew in the city, and as night falls, there are more people walking around.  The Passion Building is even more lively with people coming and going.

    "Treasurer Fang, you haven't come to our Xinqing Building for a long time, girls, come and serve me quickly." The old bustard with heavy make-up shouted in a sharp voice.

    "Mother Hua, there are a lot of distinguished guests today, so you need to pick a few more beautiful girls." Fang Yanqing is a businessman, and he can put a smile on everyone he meets, and only by being kind can he make money.

    "Of course I can't treat you badly." When Nanny Hua saw Leng Xifeng, she opened her mouth and grinned behind her ears: "Master Leng is waiting for a rare guest to come, how can we girls in the Xinqing building choose each other?  Send it to your door, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll chase some of you away.¡±

    She stared straight at Leng Xifeng, with a shy Huaichun look on her old face.

    Fang Yanqing coughed a few times before she screamed to call the girl.

    "The head of the house has a very high reputation in the Xinqing Building. Since the last time I saw you, Xingyu, the oiran, has lost a lot of weight since she doesn't think about food or tea."

    "Is shopkeeper Fang jealous?" Leng Xifeng spread out the white jade fan and joked back, making several other shopkeepers and accompanying merchants burst into laughter.

    They were led into the wing room on the second floor, where dozens of beautiful girls were already waiting there.

    Leng Xifeng has a good reputation and has a good appearance. Walking on the street on weekdays, women from good families only dare to look sideways.  And every time I enter this kind of happy place, I will be surrounded by girls and talk boldly.

    That's why he didn't want to set foot here any more than to talk about business.

    "It's still the charm of us being the head of the house. Xing Yu, you have to take care of me today."

    The woman named Xing Yu looked at Leng Xifeng shyly and timidly, and got up quickly to pour Leng Xifeng a glass of wine.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
