Although the old man's voice was loud, Xia Jinning still felt that he was quite friendly. However, since the words "No strangers allowed" were posted on the door, he didn't have the nerve to disturb him.

"No, I won't interrupt my work. I'm going to buy a pen and then go back." Xia Jinning couldn't help but amplify her voice.

When the old man saw this, he obviously raised the corners of his mouth. Everyone likes a little girl who knows how to be polite and how to advance and retreat in a controlled manner.

"Well, Xiao Li! Come, introduce this girl and get a discount!"

"Thank you!" Xia Jinning thanked her hurriedly.

It doesn't matter how much money you save, what matters is that you received another kindness, which is always a happy thing.

Xia Jinning took two steps back and was suddenly stopped again.

"Girl, may I ask, where are you from? How old are you?"

The old man knows that it is a bit presumptuous to ask these questions, but...

Xia Jinning was slightly startled, "I just turned 18 and am from Nanshi."

The old man darkened his eyes with slight regret, his age was not right, and his place was not right either.

"Xiao Li, I have a fate with this little friend. I will give it to her directly if I see what kind of pen she wants!"

"Goodbye, little girl!"

Xia Jinning felt the old man's sense of loss very clearly. He almost thought he had met his real relatives just now.

Now think about it, how could it be so easy for him to encounter something that Officer Chen couldn't even investigate.

Xia Jinning went to pick up pens with the clerk Xiao Li. Nowadays, people basically buy things online. In the fast-paced life, it is difficult to slow down.

It's cold in winter and hot in summer. You can always find a reason not to go out, and the same is true for Xia Jinning.

I won’t talk about it when I don’t have time. When I have time, I also want to collapse on the bed, don’t want to socialize, and don’t want to go out.

His temperament is becoming more and more independent, and he suddenly transformed from a social cow into a social fear in his previous life.

Except in front of the camera, sometimes I don’t want to say a word.

The clerk Xiao Li gave a good introduction, from the origin of Hu Brush to the craftsmanship, interspersed with short stories.

The tone is soft and relaxed, much like the unique tone of Jiangnan women, and the content is humorous, just like a good friend chatting.

Xia Jinning couldn't help but look up at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li blushed instantly and stuttered when speaking.

"This...is...an auspicious cloud pattern, which means good luck and happiness. It is the most suitable gift..."

"Your voice is so beautiful!"

It was okay if Xia Jinning didn't say anything, but when he did... Xiao Li couldn't even speak, and his face was so red that water dripped from his face.

"Thank you, your voice... is so beautiful! No, I mean you are really good-looking!" Xiao Li stared at Xia Jinning with dazzling eyes.

This is a very rude behavior, but... this girl is so pretty! Mom, she even praised my beautiful voice!

"I want to choose a pen for my teacher. Which one is suitable?"

"Is this okay? The name of this pen is Tao Li, which has a very suitable meaning. It was made by Mr. Wang, the oldest master in our shop. He is a master of national intangible cultural heritage. All the pens he made have been reserved early.

The customer paid a deposit for this, but it has been three months and they haven't come to pick it up yet. The date has just expired today and we can already sell it. "

The clerk Xiao Li directly recommended the best pen, completely forgetting that his uncle was also waiting for this pen.

After all, an uncle or something... is not as important as a beautiful young lady.

Xia Jinning naturally knew that this was a big bargain, and immediately said: "Okay, thank you very much! This is it. What you recommend is definitely right!"

Xiao Li felt like he was drifting, and he was extremely excited inside.

"How much does this pen cost?"

"Old Tang said, it's free of charge." Xiao Li also recommended this one because Mr. Tang said it was free of charge. Otherwise, it would be too extravagant to buy it as a gift for more than 200,000 yuan.

"If it were an ordinary pen, I would agree with it, but this one is extraordinary. I'm embarrassed to take it for free." Naturally, Xia Jinning was not shameless enough to take such a precious thing from others.

"But...but this is a bit expensive..." Xiao Li was a little confused.

"It's okay. Just tell me. If it's beyond my capabilities and it proves that I have no fate with it, I'll change it to another one." Xia Jinning said with relief.

"Its original price was 260,000, but the customer who booked it paid 60,000 in cash. You can just pay another 200,000."

As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, Xia Jinning knew that this clerk was no ordinary person.

I can deduct 60,000 yuan in cash without reporting it. How could an ordinary clerk have the power to do this?

"This is inappropriate, you..."

"The right one! Don't worry, I can make the decision." The clerk Xiao Li promised, patting his chest.

"Then... thank you." Xia Jinning hesitated slightly and chose to accept the kindness.

Xiao Li was excited instantly, it was great!

Xia Jinning went to swipe her card and asked Xiao Li for a WeChat account to see if she could treat her to a meal before leaving. Teacher Meng absolutely loved this pen!

Knowing that Xia Jinning came to take the art exam, Xiao Li also recommended some shops that are suitable for fun and delicious food.

After leaving, Xia Jinning walked around Liulichang again and liked this antique street very much.

From pens, inks, paper and inkstones, to fans and albums, from calligraphy, painting and seal cutting, to framed scrolls, from gold, stone, pottery, to antique cultural relics.

Later, I also bought a lot of small things, including exquisite bookmark fans, which I can give to An Qiqi, Tao Mengxuan and the teachers when I go back.

When he was about to leave, he passed Tang Yuexuan again and suddenly felt a gaze. Xia Jinning looked up and saw that Mr. Tang was watching him from the second floor.

Xia Jinning waved generously and said goodbye.

Mr. Tang also smiled, and even said aloud, "Goodbye, little friend!"

Xia Jinning hugged his fists again and said goodbye again in a nondescript manner.

It made Mr. Tang laugh for a while.

Mr. Tang went downstairs and happened to see Xiao Li playing with his mobile phone, "You little girl are lazy again."

"Hey, I was wrong, I'll try again next time."

"Salary deduction."

"No, grandpa, I only work for a month, and my salary is not high. If my salary is deducted again, I will have no money.

I will definitely work hard and conscientiously from now on. "Xiao Li changed his attitude instantly.

"What pen did that girl take last?"

When he mentioned the girl just now, Xiao Li instantly became energetic, "That girl's name is Xia Jinning. She is so beautiful and has such a good temperament. You even said you wanted to give her a pen, but she insisted on paying.

So I took the initiative and gave her a discount. "

Mr. Tang nodded, "I don't want to take advantage of others. This girl makes people like her just by looking at her. Which pen? You haven't told me yet?"

"That's it... that's it... um um ah ah that pen, grandpa, you look really good in that jacket today!" Xiao Li planned to get away with it.
