The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 236
Han Qianluo rested in the study for a while, but saw a young servant approaching, and said respectfully, "Master asked you to bring him a painting."

"Did he say anything?" Han Qianluo straightened up and took out the paintings that Liu Linchu had drawn before. Liu Linchu's paintings were all placed in a bamboo basket, so when he took them out, he took them all out.

"Master didn't give any instructions, but asked Madam to take a painting." The servant replied respectfully.

Han Qianluo took out a painting at random, opened it to have a look, it was just a common landscape painting in her opinion, so she decided it was it, rolled up the painting again and said, "Let's go." After speaking, he closed the door Lock it, and then go to the main hall.

Before reaching the main hall, Han Qianluo heard the voice of a strange man, who was laughing loudly. She quickened her pace and walked to the entrance of the main hall, and called softly: "Husband, I will bring you the painting you want Already." He said and handed over the painting.

"Is this Mrs. Madam? She is so beautiful and beautiful. She is a perfect match with Mr. Liu. She is a man and a woman." The man next to Han Qianluo, who was ignored by Han Qianluo, praised loudly. It was too bad, but Han Qianluo didn't mind, he was just a stranger anyway.

Liu Linchu didn't take over the topic, but opened the scroll and showed it to the man: "What do you think of this painting? Is it suitable?"

"Not bad, not bad, it's really great." The man praised loudly, his voice was really loud and full of energy, but if the distance was too close, it would be unbearable.

Only then did Han Qianluo take a look at the man who was looking for a painting. His figure was very strong, and he looked like he was tall and thick. He was very rough, and his personality and appearance matched very well.

"It's great if you like it." Liu Linchu rolled up the scroll again and placed it in front of the man.

The man seemed to really like the painting. Seeing this, he quickly picked up the scroll and carefully put it close to his body, and then said: "I know that Mr. is not a vulgar person like me, and I certainly don't like vulgar things like money." things, so I prepared another thing for my husband." He said and took out a thing wrapped in cloth.

The man carefully placed the thing on the table, and then uncovered the cloth on it.After seeing clearly what was inside, Han Qianluo was stunned for an instant. At that moment, she felt that she really had too little knowledge.

This is a big piece of jade, of course, this is not the main thing, the main piece of jade has been carefully carved into a beautiful work of art, not a simple carving, but a very complex and delicate landscape, A woman holding an umbrella is also carved between the mountains and rivers.

"This piece of jade is carved from a previous painting by Mr. Liu. When I saw Mr. Liu's painting many years ago, I thought it was the most beautiful painting in the world. It just happened that I got this piece of suitable jade material, and the jade was so beautiful. I decided to engrave that sentence and give it to Mr. Liu, I hope Mr. Liu will like it." After the man finished speaking, he suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.

Han Qianluo carefully observed this piece of jade, and found that there is not only one color on it, the place that should be green is green, and the place that should be brown is brown, but because it is a landscape painting, there is only green. and brown, but this also made her feel very strange, so she asked curiously: "Why are the colors on this piece of jade so mixed?"

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly became very embarrassed: "I'm going to tell the truth, in fact, this piece of jade is not a good jade, but a piece of miscellaneous jade. I don't know what to do with it after it has been placed for a long time. However, after seeing Mr. Liu's paintings, I realized that the paintings used to carve Mr. Liu are just right, and some places are not jade, but just a kind of brown stone that looks like jade." At the end, the man quickly drilled Went to the crack in the ground.

"Although jade is not a good jade, it is rare that it is so suitable, as if it was born naturally, and it must take a lot of energy to carve such a work, which is already worth more than jade." Liu Linchu said with a smile .

The man chuckled, the previous roughness disappeared all of a sudden, and he looked a little silly instead: "It's fine that Mr. Liu likes it, but I'm afraid that Mr. Liu doesn't like it." He took out a purse and said, "This is a seal I carved for Mr. Liu, and it is carved with high-quality jade."

Liu Linchu quickly declined and said, "I won't accept this seal. I like this work very much. I just accept this work. If you accept the seal again, you will lose money."

"Mr. Liu, don't worry, my family specializes in making this, so these things are very cheap in my opinion. Even if you take ten more jade like this, it can't compare to a painting by Mr. Liu." The man said. , stubbornly stuffed the seal into Liu Linchu's hand.

In the end, Liu Linchu still accepted the seal and the other work, and the man took the painting and left contentedly.

Han Qianluo liked this work very much, and decided to put it in a conspicuous place. After wandering around the room, he finally felt that only the main hall was the most conspicuous, so he carefully placed it on the table directly opposite the main hall door: "Lin Brother Chu, what do you think of putting it here?"

"It's pretty good, it fits right there." Liu Linchu said with a smile.

After putting it away, Han Qianluo took a few steps back, put his waist on his back and admired it, and said with some pride: "Of course, if there are guests who come looking for paintings in the future, they will see this thing at first sight. It is simply a living sign. .”

"Xiao Luo, are you sure you're not making a living sign for others?" Liu Linchu asked with a smile.

"By the way, why did I forget that this is carved with jade? What if those who seek paintings want to carve such things after seeing it?" Han Qianluo suddenly realized this problem, and he should let go of his worries. Where does it fit.

Liu Linchu finally couldn't help laughing: "Let's put it here, it's pretty." He hugged Han Qianluo from behind, half coquettish and half joking, "If no one really buys my paintings, then from now on You Xiaoluo will take care of me."

"Okay, I'll take care of you from now on." Han Qianluo also jokingly said, thinking of what happened today, she felt a little depressed, so she quickly made a decision and said, "I've decided."

"What did you decide?" Liu Linchu asked in surprise, and she was used to being surprised by her at first glance.

Han Qianluo turned around, faced Liu Linchu and said, "In the future, if someone comes to ask for a painting, you can just carry it and act like a scholar. I will be in charge of bargaining with them, how about it? "

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Linchu said with a smile.

Han Qianluo felt that he had been neglected, and pretended to be unhappy and said, "You don't agree with the solution I came up with so hard. I will ignore you today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, from now on I will play the role of a literati, and you will play the role of a businessman." Liu Linchu gently scratched the tip of her nose with his index finger, and said softly.

"That's right."

The next morning, Han Qianluo went to the city to look for the bear matchmaker. The bear matchmaker knew that she would come, so she waited at home all the time. When she saw her coming, she quickly smiled and said, "Come in quickly, madam."

Han Qianluo followed him in and said, "Grandma Xiong, I went back and discussed it with my family. We still decided to get married to the fifth young master who was so happy, but I don't know if the fifth young master has any opinions?"

Matchmaker Xiong poured two glasses of water with a smile: "Madam, please drink tea." Putting down the teapot, she continued, "I guessed that you would definitely choose the fifth young master. I have already asked, and the old lady said no problem. You can exchange Geng Tie now."

"That's really great." Han Qianluo said, but she didn't know Han Shuier's birth date, so she had to go back and ask, so she made an appointment to come over tomorrow. The elder brother who was not married thought that since they were all here, he would find another one for the elder brother by the way, so he asked, "By the way, I wonder if there is any suitable girl here for my mother-in-law?"

Matchmaker Xiong paused for a moment, a look of joy appeared on her face, but she still asked carefully: "I don't know what Ma'am means?"

"My eldest brother hasn't been married since my sister-in-law passed away, so I want to ask Grandma Xiong if there is any suitable woman here." Han Qianluo said truthfully.

"What kind of woman does Madam want to find, do you have any specific requirements?" Xiong Matchmaker asked.

Han Qianluo thought about it, and felt that the most important thing was to choose a sister-in-law's character and character, so she said: "Age is not important, it is best to be about the same age as my elder brother, around 25 years old, and someone who has been married before. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is to be a good person and have a good personality."

Matchmaker Xiong didn't speak for a while after listening, and thought for a while before saying: "There are quite a lot of people who are of the right age, but the family background is not very suitable."

"Family background doesn't matter, as long as the woman is willing." Han Qianluo added hastily.

"In this case, there are quite a few who meet the conditions. They all have the best personalities. They were very filial to their parents when they were girls at home, and they were also very filial to their parents-in-law after marriage." Xiong Matchmaker said.

Such ambiguous words have no effect at all, so Han Qianluo said: "Then please tell me one by one, Grandma Xiong."

"Okay then." Matchmaker Xiong took a sip of the tea, and then said, "The first one is Mrs. You Wu. The family is an honest farmer. The whole family is honest, and this Mrs. You Wu is also honest. They are all honest people, at the age of 24, although they are average in appearance and conditions, but they are very capable, and she is the most capable woman I have ever seen."
