Chapter 90: please go to the house
Chapter 90 Please go to the house
"This painting is really wonderful. The painter's painting skills are extraordinary. No wonder he has the confidence to bid ten taels for just a freshly painted landscape painting, but..." For some reason, this person suddenly stopped talking , "Let this painter come to the carriage for a talk."
"Yes." Xiao Qing said.
Liang Yi stood there thinking, who is this person? Why let yourself come?
Seeing Xiao Qing getting off the carriage, Liang Yi stopped thinking, and saw Xiao Qing walking in front of Liang Yi, and said to Liang Yi respectfully.
"Painter, please."
"Yeah..." Liang Yi walked to the carriage with doubts and sat down.
Behind the maid, Liang Yi quickly walked into the carriage, and when she got up, she saw a well-dressed old woman, about fifty years old, who looked very serious and rigid.
"Please, are you the painter?" the old lady said slowly.
After listening, Liang Yi sat on the other side and said, "Well, I am the painter Jiuhe."
"Did you draw this painting?" He looked at the landscape painting and said.
After listening, Liang Yi said, "It was drawn by me, and it was painted on the spot. Please forgive me if there are any flaws." While speaking, Liang Yi spoke in a humble tone and saluted.
"Well, the artist doesn't have to perform such a big gift." The old woman said calmly, "How did you paint this painting? The painting skills are so superb that people can't help but admire them."
"Thank you, old lady, for your praise. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." Liang Yi said modestly, neither humble nor overbearing, with humility in his eyes.
Liang Yi said again, "As for the question of how this painting was painted, I'm sorry I can't tell you. This is the exclusive craftsmanship of my family and will not be passed on."
"Well, it's not too difficult for someone so old. Since it's an exclusive craft, it's hard to say more." The old woman looked at it calmly, neither happy nor angry.
"Jiuhe Painter, I don't want to waste your time anymore." The old woman said straight to the point.
Immediately, the old woman said, "I am willing to pay twenty taels of silver, and I want to invite you to paint at the house."
Liang Yi didn't speak when he heard it, and the atmosphere froze in an instant. Suddenly laughed out loud, "Ma'am, your wishful thinking is pretty good."
"You want me to paint at your house for twenty taels of silver?" Then he said, "It's too good to think, or I look down on you."
Hearing what Liang Yi said, the old woman couldn't help saying immediately, "This is absolutely not available, and the price is negotiable."
Hearing this, Liang Yi couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips secretly. "Is the price negotiable?"
"One hundred taels." Liang Yi said.
"What, one hundred taels?" The old woman lost her previous calm and said in shock, her tone full of disbelief.
For a while, the previous calm was restored. The old woman wanted to speak several times, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound. After a while, "One hundred taels of silver, this price is too high." The old woman spoke.
Seeing the hesitant look of the old woman, Liang Yi knew that the price was high, and also guessed the identity of the old woman in front of him.
Liang Yi thought that if he could agree in this way, he would earn fifty taels more. If he couldn’t, he would pretend to take a step back and say fifty taels.
In this way, it can make her feel that this business can end up with fifty taels of silver anyway.
"In that case, it's only fifty taels of silver." Liang Yi said in a tone of avoidance.
When the old woman heard the price, she immediately agreed, "Okay, okay."
