Chapter 23: Miss Zhou is angry
The winding paths in the house are clear, Shen Ao, Wu San'er, and Zhou Heng are in the left wing, and Zhou Ruo and Chun'er are on the right.
After a while, there was a noise on the left, Chun'er listened to it excitedly, a little restless, or Zhou Ruo sat still, originally wanted to teach Chun'er to be red, but seeing Chun'er absent-minded, he had to take out a pair of pianos by himself, and his slender fingertips plucked between the strings, playing a pleasant piano sound.
"This Shen Aoshen is weird, he is really not a good person. This time I owe him a favor, and I will pay him back next time. β
"Miss Zhao has knowledge under the spring, maybe she can look at it."
Zhou Ruoyuan wanted to use the piano to calm his mind, but who knew that he was even more confused, the sound of the piano was disordered, and he couldn't play it anymore.
Zhou Ruo said, "Chun'er, go out for a walk with me." β
There was no movement.
Zhou Ruo looked back and found that Chun'er was gone.
Zhou Ruo lifted her skirt and stood up, and angrily went to the left wing room to look for someone. Chun'er was really in this room, I saw her sitting on the round stool peacefully, and Shen Ao on the opposite side was holding a paintbrush and glancing at her from time to time, on both sides were Wu San'er and Zhou Heng commenting, Wu San'er said here: "Brother Shen, this eye is not like this, how can Chun'er's eyes be so deep." β
On the other side, Zhou Heng didn't know how to pretend to understand, and shook his head: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, this teaching lover has a Xi Shi ...... in his eyes."
Shen Ao was annoyed and ashamed and knocked Zhou Heng's head with a pen: "Out of the nm head." β
Zhou Heng covered his head and shouted, "Wow...... It's against the sky, the scholar beats the young master! β
Chun'er couldn't sit still, holding her stomach and laughing.
Zhou Ruo coughed with a tense face, and only then did the house discover the existence of this eldest lady, Wu San'er saw that the eldest lady's face was cold and frosty, a little weak, and her body was a little shorter. Zhou Heng's head didn't hurt anymore, and he smiled wryly.
Shen Ao's eyes lit up, and he whistled at Miss Zhou: "Miss Zhou, don't move, this posture is good, I'll draw one for you, and I'll make you satisfied." β
"Little ...... Miss ...... "Chun'er was about to cry, so she hung her head and obediently walked behind Zhou Ruo.
Zhou Ruo took Chun'er's hand, didn't know whether to teach Chun'er a lesson or something to say, and said with a cold face: "Chun'er, you are already a big girl, how can you get mixed up with them, is one of them a good person?" Especially the ......" she wanted to name, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she skipped it lightly.
Chun'er said very aggrievedly: "Brother Shen said that he wanted to paint a portrait of me, and I looked at it fresh." β
Zhou Ruo dragged her away, and said, "I'll paint it for you, are his paintings rare?" β
As he spoke, he took Chun'er back.
Shen Ao was very depressed, the brush in his hand did not move, and he was dumbfounded. Miss Zhou has a deep prejudice against him, the sentence just now: Especially the one who is who, it won't be herself. He smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "As for it?" Portrait only? It seems that you will eat Chun'er, even if you eat it, what will hinder you? β
Zhou Ruo really painted a portrait of Chun'er, she didn't admit defeat, thinking that Shen Ao could paint herself, why couldn't she paint, so she pulled the hem of her sleeve, revealing her small arm like a jade lotus, and grabbed the brush to paint.
When Zhou Ruo finished painting, after a few faint bursts of spring thunder, it began to rain outside the house. Lines of rain slowly fell from the twilight sky. Layers of rain clouds obscured the sun, and after a while, the scenery near and far was shrouded in misty rain and mist.
Zhou Ruo was very satisfied with his work, and he appreciated it for a while, and asked Chun'er to come and see it. When Chun'er saw the painting, she said, "Why did Miss paint Chun'er so ugly?" β
Zhou Ruo was a little displeased, and said, "Where is it ugly, it's very beautiful and cute." Although she said this, her heart was still a little empty, in fact, her painting skills were still good, but there were too many distracting thoughts, and somehow, she always couldn't lift her spirits, and when she thought of the angry Shen Ao's triumphant appearance, she couldn't get angry.
When the mind is confused, it is inevitable that the painting will be in a trance.
She pushed open the window and saw Shen Ao, Wu San'er, and Zhou Heng braving the rain under the eaves under the branches and leaves of the big locust tree. β
Zhou Ruo frowned, hurriedly closed the window, and said, "Crazy." β
Chun'er asked with great interest: "Miss, has Brother Shen set up a gambling game again?" I'll take a look, he has a lot of ghost ideas, and the young master and Wu San'er will be fooled. β
Zhou Ruo said indifferently: "Don't go, watch them go crazy?" Girls can't go to their homes. β
Chun'er was very aggrieved and didn't speak.

Mr. Xu went back to see Pan Ren and told Pan Ren what happened in the morning. Pan Ren didn't speak with a gloomy face, paced back and forth in the study restlessly, and sighed bitterly: "It's one step late, it's one step late, if you sign and draw early, you can buy this house for eight hundred yuan, it's a pity, it's a pity." β
He sighed again and again, his anger surged, and his eyes were red and he stared at Mr. Xu, as if he was blaming Mr. Xu for being a step late.
According to his expectations, originally at most five or six hundred guan, or even only one or two hundred guan, this house could be bought, and at that time, three hundred of Yang Jie's masterpieces would fall into his hands. Unexpectedly, the price was much higher than expected, reaching 5,500 yuan.
Five thousand five hundred guan is not a small number, almost all of his net worth, he has been running Zuiyun Building for twenty years, but his annual income is less than five hundred. Although the profits of Zuiyunlou are high, which one doesn't need money to buy girls, buy fine wine, decorate the faΓ§ade, work as officials, and get to know the father-in-law of the workshop? If you don't say anything else, let's just say that last time you forced an official to death, if you hadn't taken out hundreds of pieces to plug the mouths of those fathers-in-law, how could this kind of thing be easy to do.
Now he has only 3,000 yuan of silver on his body, and he has to collect 5,500 yuan in three days, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to do.
Sometimes he shook his head, sometimes sighed, sometimes annoyed, sometimes sneered, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Which house is that girl from?" Have you figured it out? β
Mr. Xu shook his head: "It must be from a rich family, look at her behavior, the rich family's net worth is just unusual." β
Pan Ren sneered: "It seems that there are not one or two people who fight the idea of this house, there are many long nights, many long nights, many long nights." Should I buy this house or not? β
Mr. Xu didn't answer, this kind of thing naturally didn't bother him, Pan Ren asked like this, and he should ask himself more.
After a long time, Pan Ren gritted his teeth and said: "Even if these paintings are only worth thirty guan, that is nine thousand guan, and if you exchange five thousand five hundred guan for ten thousand guan family wealth, why not." Okay, let's raise money now. β
Pan Ren said: "Mr. Xu, I have something for you to do." β
Mr. Xu said: "The proprietor commands. β
Pan Ren said reluctantly: "Immediately write me a notice and say that Zuiyun Building is sold at a low price, and whoever wants to take over needs to come up with money within three days, don't delay." β
Mr. Xu hurriedly said, "The student will go and write." He turned to leave.
"Come back." Pan Ren drank suddenly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Then has Shen Gongzi's bottom been clear?" β
Mr. Xu hurriedly said: "I inquired, this Shen Gongzi was indeed a rich family in the past, and his family was full of gold and jade, but later his family was ruined, and he made a living as some ancestral jewelry and porcelain bottles. β
Pan Ren sighed: "That's good, that's good, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of just in case, Mr. Xu go quickly." He waved his hand, unbearable.
