When the face of Sha Huanli, the shopkeeper did not know how to answer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiang Ming raised his eyes, slowly walked to Niu Youdao's side, raised his hand and patted Niu Youdao's shoulder, and the mana in his palm oozed out, accumulating on Niu Youdao's shoulder.
Niu Youdao looked back, glanced at Xiang Ming, and felt the warning in Xiang Ming's eyes.
Xiang Ming smiled at Sha Huanli and said: "Miss misunderstood, how can a single painting cost 100,000 gold coins, Mr. Xuanyuan came to pick up Star City to do business, and reached a deal worth 100,000 gold coins with us, and painting for Miss is incidental." However, it was indeed said in advance that according to the transaction price, only one painting would be drawn. ”
He turned around and said to Niu Youdao: "Mr. is working hard today, take a break for the time being, and come back tomorrow to paint, and the price of another painting can be negotiated slowly." "I'm going to discuss it with Niu Youdao later.
Sa Huanli is not a fool, and she can see the clue from the shopkeeper's reaction, "Take your hand away!"
Xiang Ming's hand on Niu Youdao's shoulder let go.
Sha Huanli stared at Niu You and said, "Mr. Xuanyuan, please tell the truth, what is going on?" Don't worry, if anyone dares to threaten you, I will make the decision for you." ”
Xiang Ming lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes without moving.
Niu Youdao: "The city lord is too careful, as he said to the governor, painting is incidental, and if he says that he will only make one, he will naturally have to calculate the price again." ”
From the moment he knew that Sha Huanli was not a monk, he understood that Sha Huanli couldn't control this star-picking city where monks gathered, and the person who actually exercised the power of the city lord in Star-picking City should be the chief manager, so without thinking too much, he directly stood on Xiang Ming's side to help Xiang Ming speak, unless he didn't want to leave Star Picking City alive.
Xiang Ming is calm and waveless.
After staring at a few people and observing for a while, Sha Huanli said: "Butler, I just hope you understand that there are still many people in the world who don't have enough to eat!"
To be able to say this, she obviously still had doubts.
Xiang Ming was quite helpless, thinking to himself, what you usually eat is not the best in the world, but you don't know it, what is 100,000 gold coins to you? ”
The black peony looked left and right.
Sha Huanli pointed to the painting, "Mr. Xuanyuan, tell me honestly, how much does it cost you to paint this painting, don't deceive, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
Niu Youdao is tired, how could he meet this kind of second-class woman, he is in a dilemma, it is really sudden and unexpected enough.
"The deal has been negotiated, and there is really no way to estimate the specific value of this. Niu Youdao smiled bitterly.
Sha Huanli: "Then I'll let you make another one now, how much are you going to charge?"
Niu Youdao: "City Lord, I'm not a painter, I don't sell art, I generally don't paint people, if I have to paint, at least 1,000 gold coins." ”
Xiang Minghu tilted his head and said: "One thousand is too expensive, the consumables are all provided by our side, and it doesn't take much of your time." ”
Niu Youdao: "Then how much do you say?"
Xiang Ming stretched out a finger, "I'll give you a hundred at most!"
Niu Youdao shook his head: "No, no, it's too low!"
The two naturally cooperated, singing and bargaining there, as if they were doing a deal, and they were very troublesome.
Saphanta looked at this, and then at that.
Seeing that Xiang Ming refused to let go, Niu Youdao suddenly bowed his hand to Sha Huanli and said, "City Lord, you come to evaluate the theory, can some things be measured by consumables and time?" He pointed to the painting on the easel, "City Lord, do you also think that my painting is only worth a hundred gold coins?"
Sha Huanli looked at the painting, and liked it in her heart, if it was a hundred gold coins, it seemed to be a little low, but she turned around and said: "One thousand is a bit expensive, so if you paint another one, I will give you five hundred gold coins, how about it?"
"This..."Niu Youdao was a little embarrassed.
Xiang Ming said in a deep voice: "The city lord has personally spoken, is the city lord's face not worth five hundred gold coins?"
Sha Huanli raised her hand to stop him, signaling him not to threaten him, and to have something to say.
"Alas!" Niu Youdao sighed, "since the chief manager has said so, well, five hundred is five hundred." ”
Sha Huanli suddenly showed a satisfied look, as if she was happy that she had saved five hundred gold coins, and immediately asked people to carefully remove the painting on the drawing board and make room for Niu Youdao to paint again.
Niu Youdao asked people to move a chair, let the maid sit down upright, and didn't let him make any movements, picked up the charcoal and drawn.
Sha Huanli looked energetic, watching how Niu Youdao painted this kind of painting.
As the silhouette of the character gradually appeared, Sha Huanli was amazed, and asked out loud from time to time to ask for the skills, and Niu Youdao made some explanations.
Seeing that Sha Huanli was having fun, Xiang Ming in the back smiled slightly, quite relieved.
When the painting was finished, Niu Youdao put the charcoal pen aside, "Okay!"
"......" Sha Huanli was stunned, only the maid sat upright on the painting paper, except for the chair she was sitting on, there was a blank around, there was no background, and the painting size was much smaller, compared with her one, the picture was vast and complicated, small and simple.
I couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't Mr. paint the background?"
Niu Youdao looked like he was going to compare: "It's actually very energy-consuming to draw this, and I can only cheer up and paint to this point with five hundred gold coins." ”
Xiang Ming stepped forward and looked at it, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Sha Huanli is also very talkative, but she doesn't care about it.
After the observation, Sha Huanli was obviously eager to try, called a maid to sit opposite, and took the charcoal to try it herself.
When Xiang Ming turned to leave, he gestured to the shopkeeper's tilt, and the shopkeeper stretched out his hand to invite Miao Yi and Black Peony to leave.
When they arrived at the garden below, the shopkeeper asked the two to wait for a while, and he left for a while, and when he came back, he took out a stack of golden tickets from his sleeve and handed them to Niu Youdao: "Mr. count." ”
Black Peony glanced at it, a little hot, and saw the face value of the gold ticket, 10,000 gold coins each, which is also the largest in the face value of the gold ticket.
Niu Youdao counted it, a full twenty, that is, 200,000 gold coins, and couldn't help but crook his mouth, and found that the manager Xiang was still quite trustworthy, one painting was 100,000, two paintings were 200,000, no less than his, and it was a fart to bargain in front of Sha Huanli before.
The shopkeeper was a little envious, and smiled and admonished, "The manager asked Mr. Xuanyuan to explain, don't talk nonsense that shouldn't be said, otherwise you will cause trouble for yourself." ”
"Understood. Niu Youdao nodded and motioned for Black Peony to take a step forward.
After the black peony left, Niu Youdao looked around, quickly clicked out ten golden tickets in his hand, took out half of them directly, and stuffed them into the shopkeeper's hand, "The hard work of the shopkeeper is a little meaning." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, he had seen the guest of the inn giving money, but he had never seen the one who gave 100,000 gold coins, which scared him a little and hurriedly excused him.
Niu Youdao pushed it back again, "Don't worry, the shopkeeper knows this matter, you know it, I know, and I don't dare to talk nonsense and cause trouble for myself." ”
The shopkeeper's heart was hot, the inn service was considerate, and it was normal for guests to give tips, but the other party was so generous that it was scary, and he didn't dare to accept the reward, so he pushed it back.
"People don't stand without faith, they say that they have 100,000 gold coins, and I don't take a penny for more, so please find a suitable opportunity for the shopkeeper to see how to deal with it. ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper held the golden ticket, hung his sleeves, caged, and subconsciously looked around.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the 100,000 gold coins were handed over to him for disposal.
He wanted to see what Niu Youdao wanted to do, and if he was asked to do something that was not good for this side, he would immediately hand over the money to Xiang Ming.
The two then left together tacitly.
I went down the stairs and out of the archway, and saw the waiting Yuanfang and the black peony.
After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, they went everywhere, and on the way, Yuanfang couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "The money was given?"
Niu Youdao glanced at him and told the two, "Today's matter is not allowed to be leaked to anyone." ”
"Yes!" the two responded.
Back in the inn room, Niu Youdao took out the 100,000 golden tickets again, 50,000 yuan per person, and distributed them to Yuanfang and Black Peony, so that the two of them could keep them on their bodies for later use, and they didn't leave a penny.
Of course, in the eyes of Black Peony, Niu Youdao kept 100,000 by himself.
Just took so much money with others, Black Peony was a little embarrassed and excused himself.
"Let you take it, no more nonsense. Niu Youdao's words were indisputable, "There are some things you can do in your heart, you don't need to explain too much to your brothers for the time being, it's easy to think too much if you know too much, it may not be a good thing for them, do you know what I mean?"
"Yes!" Black Peony had no choice but to accept it, and he understood the meaning in his tone, which was also referring to her before rushing to cling to the City Lord's Mansion.
When I came out of the house and went back to my house, I was still feeling in my heart, thinking that it was not easy for me to save some money for so many years.
When she returned to the house, she hung up the painting and admired it, thinking that the painting was worth 100,000 gold coins, she was suddenly stunned, and took out the 50,000 gold ticket, full of surprise.
She remembered what Niu Youdao had asked her after painting this painting for her before, if this painting is sold to you for 100,000 gold coins, will you buy it?
At this time, I was shocked when I thought of it, could it be that the Taoist master did it deliberately, and he already knew that someone was going to spend 100,000 gold coins to buy his painting?
She couldn't help but carefully sort out the causes and consequences, remembered that Niu Youdao asked her about Sha Huanli, and remembered that when she was painting, she deliberately asked Yuanfang to call the guy to deliver the wine, and asked the guy to frame the painting... Thinking about it, there is a pulse to follow, and the more I think about it, the more frightened I become, this is obviously an intention to get close to Sa Phantom, but when I get close, I keep a distance from Sa Phantom, is it to get away with it?
Yuanfang in the house was still holding the 50,000 golden ticket and looking at it over and over, his face was full of joy, and he muttered a few words of complaint from time to time, "Master Dao, I've only known her for a long time, and I don't even know what kind of person she is, how can I give her so much money at once." ”
This is a bit xenophobic, but he doesn't want to think about how long he has only been with Niu Youdao, and he thinks that he and Niu Youdao are the same people so quickly.
