Li Wangyou chuckled, reached out and took out the mulberry paper from his bosom again, spread it out and handed it to the fat man.

This time the fat man looked more carefully, his eyes almost burst into flames, and his eyes were completely sunk in the painting in his hand and he couldn't get it out.

"Hey, what painting is this? Why is it so realistic? Who is this woman?"

Li Wangyou didn't answer either, just asked with a smile: "Do you like it, brother?"

"Of course, did you just say you want to sell this picture? I bought it! How much is it?" The fat man couldn't wait to reply.

Li Wangyou raised a finger: "One hundred taels of gold."

"Hiss..." Even though he was mentally prepared, the fat man was still taken aback by Li Wangyou's price and gasped.

"How is this possible? It's too expensive! Your picture is not made by a famous master, not to mention that even if it is made by a famous master, it is not as expensive as this price!" The fat man shook his head endlessly.

"Brother, this picture is rare in the world, it is a treasure! Have you ever seen such a picture? If you can take out a copy, I will give you this picture for free."

"This..." Fatty was at a loss for words, but he still felt that the price was too expensive.

"Well, today is also your fate, brother, tell me a price, if it's suitable, it's okay to transfer this picture to you at a cheaper price." Li Wangyou just opened his mouth purely as a lion, waiting for the fat man to bargain.

"How about ten pennies?" The fat man was actually not polite, and cut Li Wangyou's price down to the price of cabbage.

Li Wangyou pretended to be angry, and reached out to take back his painting: "Give me back the picture, since you don't really want to buy it, brother, don't waste everyone's time."

"Don't, don't, I have something to discuss." The fat man was afraid that Li Wangyou would snatch the picture back, so he shrank his hands and hid the picture behind him: "Brother, it's cheaper, a hundred taels of gold is indeed too expensive. You can’t find anyone who can buy this picture at this price.”

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes and replied, "80 taels."

"Twenty sticks."

"60 taels."

"Thirty strokes."

... After the two of them exchanged their opinions and bargained for advice, Li Wangyou's picture was sold at a price of sixty pennies and ten taels of gold.

The fat man reached out and summoned his servant: "Give me ten taels of gold."

"What? Ten taels of gold?" Hearing what the fat man said, the boy quickly covered the bag on his back with his hands, and looked at Li Wangyou warily.

Obviously, in the eyes of the boy, Li Wangyou is a liar, and it is a big deal to cheat the ten taels of gold from his husband.

"Stop talking nonsense, give me the money quickly!"

"No, sir. The master said that you can only watch songs and dances in Pingkangfang, and you are not allowed to do other things, otherwise you will be questioned as a slave later." The servant still shook his head.

"Nonsense! I'm shopping. I'll explain to you when I get back. Give me the money quickly."

The servant still shook his head and refused to agree. It was not once or twice that my lord was fooled. That's why the Patriarch reminded him to be careful and never to be fooled again.

Spending money is a small matter, and losing the face of the house after being cheated is the most important thing.

Fatty's mansion is a well-known merchant in Chang'an City, but he is often tricked into spending a lot of money.

Spending money didn't matter, and neither did his father.

But because the fat man is always cheated by people, and spends unjustly money to buy a bunch of junk from time to time as treasures to take home, it almost becomes a joke in Ancheng.

Then he told his son's servant to take good care of the money.You can go out to drink and give rewards, but you can't just buy some junk and come back.

The fat man was in a hurry, and showed the painting he was holding tightly in his hand to the servant for a look: "Look clearly, this is the painting I want to buy! Hurry up and give me the money!"

With just one glance, the boy was dumbfounded, his eyes were fixed on the painting in the fat man's hand, a line of bright red nosebleed unconsciously flowed down from his nostrils.

The fat man looked disgusted: "It's useless, wipe off the nosebleed quickly. I won't bring you to Pingkangfang in the future. It's a shame."

The boy came to his senses at this moment, his face was full of shame, he wiped the nosebleed with his cuff indiscriminately, then took out two ingots of gold from the bag and handed them to the fat man.

The fat man handed the gold to Li Wangyou: "Brother, we have cleared the money and the goods, and this picture belongs to me."

"Naturally." Li Wangyou heard the sound of the evening drum, and cupped his hands at the fat man: "Brother, there will be a meeting later."

The two parted at this point, the fat man didn't go to the brothel to watch any singing and dancing, and he got on his horse and called the young man back home immediately.

And Li Wangyou walked out of the gate of Pingkangfang without hesitation, and went back to Chongrenfang.This time and again, the old guard guarding the square gate misunderstood him and shook his head endlessly at Li Wangyou's back.

He muttered softly in his mouth: "It turns out that it's a good-looking guy, but it's not worth it. I came back in less than a stick of incense, tsk tsk, my bones are weak enough."

Fortunately, Li Wangyou didn't know that the old soldier thought of him like this behind his back, otherwise he would have the heart to vomit blood, you are so stupid!

After returning to the hostel, Li Wangyou returned to the room and closed the door, and immediately excitedly took out the two ingots of gold from his pocket to look at them.

"Haha, I'm really a genius! I can even think of such a way! Tsk tsk, I can actually sell ten taels of gold. The spending power of the otaku in Tang Dynasty is also terrifying."

Li Wangyou talked happily to himself for a long time, then carefully put the gold ingot in the package, turned on the oil lamp, took a piece of mulberry paper, and got busy again.

Holding a charcoal pencil in his hand, he kept drawing and dabbing on the mulberry paper.

Soon, the prototype of the pattern appeared on the mulberry paper, which was a human body sketch of a naked woman!

041 Chang'an Chou Family

Yesterday, Su Changqing asked him to paint for money, which made Li Wangyou come up with a whim.

Of course he can't do ordinary paintings for money, but what about nude sketches?

For men like Datang who have only seen exaggerated and secretive erotic pictures, the impact of the completely realistic style and three-dimensional body sketches on them is probably no less than a mental bomb, right?

Li Wangyou studied sketching in middle school, especially because of the restless hormones of young people, he has a soft spot for human body sketching.

At that time, he copied a lot of body sketches, and he could be said to be the best at it, so Li Wangyou immediately thought of the idea of ​​selling body sketches in Datang.

However, ordinary rice paper is too thin and not suitable for sketching, so he thought of using mulberry paper for painting.

As for selling paintings in Chang'an, I came here for the huge potential "consumer market" of Pingkangfang.Of course, there are quite a few people who know him in Hu County, so he is too embarrassed to sell this body sketch.

If this matter gets out, it will look good or not.

Even if Li Wangyou has a thick skin, he doesn't want to become a wanderer like Tang Yin and Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu in the Ming Dynasty was famous for his erotic paintings. He called himself "the most romantic and talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River", but because of lack of money, he painted a lot of erotic pictures to make a living. "Wang Shu Palace Prostitute Picture", "Tao Gu Presents Ci Picture", "Mandarin Duck Secret Book" are all erotic pictures painted by Tang Bohu.

And if Su Changqing knew that he made money by drawing body sketches, would he lose face?

So he ran to Chang'an, carrying the Niu family brothers behind his back, for fear of being discovered by them.After the sketch of the human body that he drew in the afternoon was actually sold for ten taels of gold, Li Wangyou was even more excited. Regardless of the lateness of the sky, he turned on the lamp and started painting all night.

He didn't expect to make a fortune by drawing this body sketch, let alone pay off the more than 100 million company money he owed.
