Chapter 117
Ma Yuan looked astonished. The painting was already folded like this. What else does this little girl want to do with this painting?
"You little girl, if you want it, just take it. It's useless anyway." Ma Yuan said dejectedly. The painting had been folded out of shape and no one would give it to anyone.
"Okay, uncle, I will also give you five taels of silver for these two paintings." Li Yuezhu took out five taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the down-and-out uncle: "I will not only give you money, but also introduce you to a good job."
.”
Ma Yuan took the five carts of silver with some curiosity and looked at the little girl who only reached his chest.
"There is a job that specializes in purchasing some calligraphy and paintings, and they are purchased all year round. The paintings range from one tael of silver to five taels of silver. As long as they are not fake, they are welcome to come."
Li Yuezhu said while shaking his head and looking at Ma Yuan from the corner of his eyes.
Ma Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is what this girl said true??"
"Of course it's real. Authentic and fake products are welcome. The number of places is limited. Uncle, if you are interested, hurry up."
Ma Yuan hurriedly asked: "Where? Where? I will sign up now."
"It's at the opposite corner of Zhengyang Street and Jinling Street, where the house is being renovated." Li Yuezhu said cheerfully.
Ma Yuan beamed with joy and handed the five taels of silver in his hand back to Li Yuezhu.
"Little girl, thank you for your message. I don't want this painting anymore, and I'll give you five taels of silver. I'm really sorry for bumping into your brother just now. I'll apologize to you two here."
Ma Yuan bowed deeply to the two people.
"Thank you for your message. I won't waste time here. Seeing that the sun is about to set, I'll go first."
Li Yuezhu looked at the man's hurried back and smiled. Xiao An, who was standing next to Li Yuezhu, shook his head and thought for a long time without understanding. Isn't the opposite corner of Zhengyang Street and Jinling Street their store?
"Sister, what on earth is going on?"
Li Yuezhu looked at Xiao An who looked confused and shook his head and said, "You will know later."
Li Yuezhu held the two paintings in one hand and Xiao An's hand in the other, and continued to walk forward.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the bustling Zhengyang Street. Old Man Feng still stuck to his post, gesticulating in front of the shop, and several workers were loading and unloading according to Old Man Feng's requirements.
Ma Yuan also stood nearby and asked around. After asking several construction workers, he still couldn't figure out where the place that the little girl mentioned was buying calligraphy and paintings for a long time. Only then did he realize that he was probably being tricked by the little girl.
.
Ma Yuan was getting ready to go home dejectedly when Li Yuezhu walked over from behind.
The first person to see her was Feng Binghe, who was standing far away. As soon as he saw Li Yuezhu coming, he quickly came over to greet her.
"Girl, you didn't come today. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Old man, I went rafting today, so I didn't come over." Li Yuezhu pulled Xiao An who was standing aside again: "Xiao An, call grandpa quickly."
"Hello, grandpa, my name is Li Yue'an, and I am Li Yuezhu's younger brother." Xiao An looked cute and bowed to the old man.
"Hey, hey, OK, OK, I didn't expect you to have such an innocent brother." The old man seemed to like children very much.
"Old man, what are you talking about? No one can have an innocent younger brother." Li Yuezhu pouted and stopped.
Hearing the commotion here, Ma Yuan quickly turned his head and saw at a glance the person in charge of the decoration from here, but he took the initiative to say hello to the little girl who showed him the way.
"You are such a restless and kind-hearted little girl. If you are dissatisfied with me, just say so. Why do you give me this idea and dash my hopes? Does it give you a sense of accomplishment?"
Ma Yuan came over and criticized Li Yuezhu, saying that this little girl had gone too far.
"When did I stop deceiving you out of kindness?"
"There is obviously no place here to buy calligraphy and paintings as you mentioned. This is just a shop selling fruits."
"I didn't say this wasn't a place to sell fruit!"
"Look, look, are you still saying you didn't cheat on me?"
"Then did anyone tell you clearly that calligraphy and painting are not purchased here?"
"You, you, you, you are simply arrogant." Ma Yuan was speechless: "I can't explain it!"
Li Yuezhu looked at Ma Yuan, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
"Hey, little girl, do you want to buy calligraphy and painting?"
"Yes, I will post the recruitment brochure in a few days, so I am not afraid that no one will come to apply."
Ma Yuan, who had not gone far, immediately turned back after hearing these words.
"Old man, do you mean that this girl is the owner of this place?"
"Hehehe, you're not leaving?" Mr. Feng rubbed his eyes: "Okay, kid, don't underestimate this girl in front of you. She should be the one you are looking for. If you have anything, just ask her."
Ma Yuan was still in shock and had not come back to his senses. He stared blankly at the shortcomings, the little girl with his chest high, and the boy with less than his waist height.
"Yue Zhu, hurry up and talk to him. After we finish talking, I still have some things to discuss with you." After the old man said this, he walked away leisurely.
"That's right, the boss you are looking for is me. I want to purchase some calligraphy and paintings. I will divide them according to their degree of detail and I will pay for each one."
Li Yuezhu invited Ma Yuan into the room. Although the room was still a mess, there was still a table on the second floor for several people to discuss issues.
"Please sit down, I don't have anything to entertain you here, so just make do with what you have."
Ma Yuan sat opposite Li Yuezhu, looking at the shop carefully, and then looked at Li Yuezhu up and down. At first, he didn't think so, but now the more he looks at this girl, the more radiant and charming she is.
"I can tell you in detail, as far as these two paintings are concerned, if you paint paintings of this level in the future, I can give you one tael of silver for each painting. I believe that with your level, ten taels of silver will be paid in a month."
You can also earn some money, but you must bring your own pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and only paintings are accepted."
Li Yuezhu paused again: "There is a second plan. If you sign a contract with me and paint for me for a long time, I will give you a fixed basic salary of ten taels of silver every month."
When Ma Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up.
"I can provide you with all your pens, inks, paper and inkstones. You can just paint with peace of mind. In this way, every time you make a painting," Li Yuezhu raised the two scrolls in his hand: "I will also give you 5
The price ranges from 3 taels of silver to 3 taels of silver. We can also provide you with a venue, but the content of your painting is limited."
Ma Yuan was naturally excited after hearing this. In this case, the old mother's medicine would be available.
Li Yuezhu is quite generous. You must know that it only takes two or three minutes to write a word, even if a word costs five cents. Ma Yuan writes a hundred words a day, which is 500 cents.
For a poor family, 500 taels of silver is not a small amount. This amount is 15 taels of silver a month. Plus his basic salary, even if he raises a family, he can still live happily in this backward ancient times.
