Chapter 45
She just made Qin Jinxiu an arrogant and domineering useless princess who beat people at will.

Apart from her family background, what is she inferior to Qin Jinxiu?
She needs to be tall and talented, and if the Xu family didn't want to rely on the status of the eldest princess, she would have lived together with Xu Che's brother long ago!

At this time, there was a quarrel on the second floor of the shop.

"Shopkeeper, my paintings are lifelike, so please raise the price for me. I'm a candidate who is going to Beijing to rush for an exam. On the way to Beijing, I met robbers. Otherwise, my money would not have been looted."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in shabby clothes eagerly following behind a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned his head and said domineeringly, "The shopkeeper has already said, two taels of silver, at this price, do you want to sell it or not!"

The young man's face turned red, and he flicked his sleeves and cursed angrily, "You are lowering the price! I won't sell it!"

After finishing speaking, the young man turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, the middle-aged shopkeeper grabbed him and shouted angrily:

"Hey, you little boy, you just leave, and you still steal wolf hair from our shop? Quick, arrest him!"

Immediately, well-known thugs rushed in from the door and surrounded him.

Qin Ci looked at the young man silently.

Although the young man was dressed in shabby clothes, the brocade robe was not made of ordinary cloth.

At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.

Gu Youxian's face sank, and he squeezed the corner of the table to explain, "This is mine, what do you want to do?"

The shopkeeper sneered, "You, a down-and-out scholar, can still use such a wolf hair? I think you stole it in all likelihood!"

Seeing this, Xu Che walked over quickly, held his head high and said, "Uncle Tang, what's going on?"

When the shopkeeper saw his nephew coming, he immediately explained, "Che'er, this scholar sold a painting he painted. I thought he was pitiful and gave him two taels of silver. I didn't expect that he not only didn't appreciate it, but also stole it from our store. The wolf hair brush in the book!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Youxian, triumphantly.

From this point of view, he is a scholar with no power and power. If you offend him, your life will be ruined!

Xu Che looked at the scholar, glanced up and down, and said condescendingly, "Young master, please hand over the wolf hair, or don't blame me for reporting to the official. If so, your future will be ruined."

According to the law of this dynasty, all students who have made mistakes are not allowed to take the imperial examination.

As a scholar, he can choose whatever he wants.

Qin Jinxiu couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw Xu Che's superior look.

She walked over, and she blurted out, who had nurtured the top gold and silver treasures since she was a child:

"For things with long hair and short knowledge, this writing brush is made of deer hair. It is made of the hair of the finest deer. The handle is made of turquoise, and there are patterns of bamboo and flowers carved on it. As far as I know, it was created by a master in the calligraphy world." Made, a total of five are wolf hair, deer hair, mouse whisker, stone badger hair, and mountain horse hair. There is no price in the market, how capable the Xu family is, dare to call this thing from your shop."

The shopkeeper also had Xu Che all stunned.

Qin Jinxiu took the deer hair out of the shopkeeper's hand, returned it to Gu Youxian, patted his shoulder and said:
"Keep it well, it will be good to pass it on as a family heirloom in the future!"

Gu Youxian took the deer hair in a daze, looked at the girl's face, and faltered:
"I'll be eighteen next year, and I won't have a wife or concubine at home..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he secretly regretted it.

The girl wouldn't think he was sick.

Qin Jinxiu didn't notice his abnormality, perhaps out of politeness, she comforted, "It's okay, Madam will have some, and so will the child."

Gu Youxian's cheeks were a little angry.

Qin Ci stood aside.

Jade seeks a good price in the box, even though Aunt Huang is obese and has a bad temper, she is still a dazzling pearl.

Xu Che blindly looked down on her Aunt Huang, but it didn't mean that Aunt Huang was a bad girl.

Qin Jinxiu opened the young man's painting scroll, and when he saw the painting, he slapped the table and cursed, "Is this painting worth two taels of silver?"

The painting is a landscape painting, with smooth flowing clouds and uniform color, vividly depicting the beauty of the mountains and rivers.

The boy was taken aback by her movement.

This woman is really genuine.

Xu Che cursed in his heart: If it weren't for her being the eldest princess, it wouldn't marry this shrew!
The shopkeeper stroked his beard, "It is indeed worth two taels of silver. For an unknown student, it is already a high price for me to give you two taels of silver! I have been in the calligraphy and painting circle for many years, and I have no lies!"

At this time, an old and loud voice came from outside the door, "You will give me two taels of silver for this painting? Young man, listen to the old man, come to the old man, and the old man will give you thirty times the price!"

While speaking, he already walked into the shop tremblingly.

Seeing this, Xu Che immediately lowered his face, and Qin Jinxiu just said directly because of this young man's lack of face, "Master Li, he is just an unknown scholar. My son advises you to keep your eyes open and don't smash your hands." inside."

How can a poor scholar's painting be worth 60 taels of silver?

Shopkeeper Li snatched the painting, his eyes were full of joy, "I like this painting very much, even if it is smashed in my hands, I will not regret it, there is no way, money can't buy me happy."

Although this painting is not made by a famous artist, the painting skills are top-notch. Besides, it is not easy for the young man to go to Beijing for the exam, so he will help if he can.

Xu Che stopped talking.

Anyway, it wasn't him who lost money.

Here, after Gu Youxian finished the transaction with shopkeeper Li, he took 60 taels of silver and found that it was more than he expected.

Holding the heavy silver, he pondered for a long time before saying to Qin Jinxiu, "Girl, thank you for helping me, or else I'll treat you to dinner to express my gratitude."

He wanted to... stay with this girl for a while, and stay for a while...

Qin Jinxiu glanced at him, and said with a smile, "Just this little money is not enough for you to spend, you should treat me to dinner when you have money."

After finishing speaking, she picked up another inkstone, dropped it on purpose, and said in a pretentious manner, "Ah, my hands slipped again, what should I do, the more I take it, the more it falls off."

The veins on Xu Che's forehead bulged out of anger, but he couldn't stop it.

It was almost smashed, Qin Jinxiu took some of the Four Treasures of the Study and put them in Gu Youxian's arms, and almost emptied the shop.

She clapped her hands, and said to the stunned young man, "Here, these are for you, I wish you a title on the gold list."

Gu Youxian hurriedly nodded in agreement, and asked again, "Okay... May I ask Miss Fang..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the girl had already dragged another little girl away.

It's like a fairy who has done something bad, sneaking away.

Gu Youxian quickly chased them out, but did not find any trace of the two of them. He stopped at the same spot and tightened his grip on the Four Treasures of the Study in his arms.

There seemed to be a deer in his heart, bumping into his heart non-stop. At this time, the young man was a little throbbing.

He murmured softly, "Father said that the capital is bustling and prosperous, but human relations are indifferent, but seeing you today, it's not entirely true..."
