Whether it is Su San or Xue Si, Bai Qi knew that these were their pseudonyms, and even Manager Yu understood this. But everyone was unwilling to say it out loud. After all, if someone wants to hide it, there must be a reason. It is normal for everyone to meet by chance.
After everyone sat down, Manager Yu showed his signature smile and said, "The two young men are here to visit the small trumpet. I wonder if there is anyone who can help me?"
Su Sandao: "Recently, good calligraphy and painting people in Beijing have been rumored to read a work called Tianya Huaboke. This man, regardless of calligraphy and painting, has performed well. After seeing this master's work, he praised this man very much. He called this man a rare genius in calligraphy and painting in thirty years. Now, the calligraphy and painting of Tianya Huaboke is hard to find. We have been searching for a long time before we found it."
Bai Qi was shocked when he heard this. This "river of the world" was nothing but Bai Qi himself. All the names of Bai Qi's calligraphy and paintings were of this man of the world. However, although Bai Qi was quite confident in his calligraphy and painting, he never expected that Liu Yuxin, a man in the capital, would give him such a high evaluation. Thinking of this, Bai Qi glanced at the shopkeeper Yu's squintingly. This old guy was so hiding that he could pay him a lot of money. Bai Qi sold more than 50 calligraphy and paintings here, and I don't know how much this shopkeeper Yu had made from it.
When Manager Yu saw that Bai Qi had bad eyes, he complained in his heart. Unexpectedly, Bai Qi arrested him. These two people were not distinguished guests, they were simply enemies. It didn’t matter if they said this. Bai Qi was here, so how did he step down?
When collecting calligraphy and painting, it depends on the eyesight of each company. Bai Qi's calligraphy and paintings were taken to other stores, but they were not willing to ask for them. If it weren't for Manager Yu, his calligraphy and paintings might have been an unknown work in Beijing, right? Thinking about this section, Bai Qi was calm and looked at Manager Yu's eyes much more friendly, and his face also had a peaceful smile.
Manager Yu is an old man in the antique calligraphy and painting industry. Seeing Bai Qi's face improving, he knew that things might have passed like this, so he quickly smiled and returned to Su San and said, "Young Master Su, the small calligraphy and painting trumpets of the wandering tourists in the world have always wanted to collect a few, but they have never been destined to be with them." Manager Yu's meaning is to deny it. He sold his calligraphy and paintings in front of Bai Qi. How can he do business in the future? Although the two people in front of him may be big customers in the future, they are all small things compared to Bai Qi's ready-made treasure pot.
It seems that Su San and Xue Si had prepared for it before they came. Seeing that Manager Yu was so shirked, Xue Si felt a little confused, and his face showed a little chill. He said to Manager Yu coldly: "Shopkeeper, no secret words are spoken. We have already inquired before we came. The calligraphy and paintings of wandering people in the world have never been sold in other stores except for your Taobao Pavilion."
Seeing Xue Si like this, Su San also said to Manager Yu with a cold face: "Shopkeeper, don't say that our brothers didn't remind you, it is not difficult for us to smash your small broken shop in this royal city. Don't be afraid of us as we are young."
Manager Yu was shocked when he heard the harsh words of these two people. No matter how hard they looked, they didn't look like they were easy to mess with. He had to turn around and look at Bai Qi, hoping that Bai Qi could help him speak. Seeing Manager Yu look at him, Bai Qi smiled slightly and didn't say anything, and was in a state of watching the fun.
Manager Yu had to turn around and smile at the two evil guests, "You are not to hide it from each other. The calligraphy and paintings of the wanderers in the capital are indeed from small trumpets, but these calligraphy and paintings are very popular. They were out of stock a few days ago. You want them now, so it's really hard to get them."
What Manager Yu said this time is the truth. There are indeed no Bai Qi's calligraphy and paintings in the store now. It was not too early in the morning that Manager Yu was talking to Ashun, just hoping that Bai Qi would provide calligraphy and paintings as soon as possible.
When Su San and Xue Si heard what Manager Yu said, they showed disappointment on their faces. After all, they were not really unreasonable people. Besides, they had little social experience. In their opinion, they should be telling the truth with the sincere tone that Manager Yu had just said. Although what Manager Yu is telling the truth now, if they want to talk about lies as the truth, their tone might be more sincere.
"Young master, don't listen to this old man's nonsense. He said he wanted to collect a few pictures just now. We were forced to do so and said nothing. This is clearly to deceive the young men." The lady was about to withdraw her troops, and the maid jumped out. When Su San and Xue Si heard this, they thought it was the reason, and their pretty faces suddenly became stern.
"Okay, shopkeeper, I think your store doesn't want to open. Fourth brother, let's go and let the city guards demolish this broken store." Su San said as he stood up, pulling Xue Si and going out.
Manager Yu was sweating all over and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two of them and said, "Two young masters, don't just turn your back. You have something to say, right now, there is no one, maybe tomorrow or in the afternoon."
Bai Qi was secretly amused when he heard Manager Yu speak like this, and he thought to himself: This woman is much faster than turning against her.
Su San and Xue Sifu sat down again, and Xue Si smiled coldly and said, "Is that right? Don't want to coax us to leave first, right? Don't make a fake one to deceive us. I can tell you that we may not be able to tell the truth or falsehood, but we are regular customers at the mansion of Senior Liu Yuxin."
"I dare not! I dare not! I am the businessman. This business is not recommended. But this wanderer is a strange man. He sells calligraphy and paintings in a small trumpet, but he is elusive. When he wants to see him, he rarely appears when he doesn't want to see him. He may come." Manager Yu said as he glanced at Bai Qi, his eyes full of begging. This is to ask Bai Qi to help save the situation.
Seeing this, Bai Qi felt that it was time for him, so he smiled and took over the conversation and said, "It turns out that the two of you are here to find calligraphy and paintings of wanderers in the world. It's a coincidence that I happened to have one on hand, which was transferred to me the day before yesterday by Manager Yu. It's not a coincidence that Manager Yu's shopkeeper Yu's shopkeeper Yu's shopkeeper is not in stock. Manager Yu and I are old friends, and it just so happens that the calligraphy and paintings are also brought with you. Let them be considered as helping your friends."
Seeing that Bai Qi had no other items except the folding fan on his hand, Su San and Xue Si sneered: "Does Brother Duan Qi also want to tease us?"
Bai Qi smiled slightly, reached out to stretch out his hand to open the folding fan and said, "Haha! You two look down on me, Duan Qi. Are you not these two wanting something?" Bai Qi pointed to the calligraphy and paintings on the folding fan.
Su San and Xue Si saw a picture of "Autumn Water and Distant Mountains" on the folding fan, with the signature and seal of "The Wandering Guests in the Rivers and Lakes", and their faces turned red. The two of them quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Duan."
