After being dressed as a scumbag, I was dismissed? !

Gu Beizhi didn't understand what the shopkeeper meant, "What do you mean?"

The shopkeeper took his hand and said earnestly, "Gu Xiucai, I wonder if you would like to come to our Baoyixuan as a calligraphy and painting appraiser?"

"This..." Gu Bei thought it through, and there was still some hesitation on his face, "Shopkeeper, you also know that the time for me to contact appraisal is still short, and there are still many things to learn, so I'm afraid I can't take on this important task... "

The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, our Baoyixuan deals in many kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, if Gu Xiucai comes to our Baoyixuan to work, wouldn't it be a good time to apply what he has learned?"

Gu Beizhi pretended to be hesitant, as if he had no confidence in himself. The shopkeeper persuaded him many times, and finally Gu Beizhi agreed to work in Baoyixuan as an appraiser apprentice.

"Then start work in three days, start work at the same time every day, stop work at the second of the unitary time, and have a day off every tenth. The monthly silver is one tael. If a customer comes to you for an appraisal, you will get [-]% of the appraisal fee. Gu Xiucai can still have it." Other requirements?" The shopkeeper swiftly finalized Gu Beizhi's working hours and wages.

"But there is one more thing, I hope the shopkeeper agrees." Gu Beizhi smiled, as gentle as jade.

"Gu Xiucai, please tell me." The shopkeeper was worried that Gu Xiucai wanted to raise his status. After all, he was a scholar, and his status was no different than ordinary pawns.

Gu Beizhi pretended not to see the shopkeeper's hesitation, "Gu is named Beizhi, please take care of the shopkeeper in the future."

The shopkeeper was stunned, is this his request?Then I realized that this Gu Xiucai intended to get closer to them, so he touched his beard with a smile, "Hahaha, it's easy to say, from now on, Beizhi will be called Old Dubo, you know Xiaoding, and there is also a accountant Mr. Xu is surnamed, and he will come every half a month, and then I will introduce you to each other."

"Okay, Du Bo." Gu Bei knew what was going on, and immediately called out, and the sense of distance disappeared a lot.

Shopkeeper Du looked at the four paintings in front of him, sighed, and then asked Gu Beizhi, "Beizhi, what can you do to change everyone's impression of our Baoyixuan? What should you do with these two paintings? Use your brain, let Du Bo figure out a way."

This is where shopkeeper Du is shrewd. If he directly asks Gu Beizhi to help out with ideas, it is one thing whether Gu Beizhi is willing or not, but it is another matter to be able to contribute a little bit even if he is willing. But now He tied Gu Beizhi to Baoyixuan's big boat first, and Baoyixuan's interests were linked to Gu Beizhi's own interests, so Gu Beizhi would naturally be very concerned.

Gu Beizhi pursed his lips and smiled. This storekeeper Du is really an old fox, but he just agrees with him, "Beizhi does have an idea, but it might offend people when he operates it."

"Let's talk about it first." Shopkeeper Du is not in a hurry now.

"Perhaps, we can do this..." Gu Beizhi finished his thoughts in a low voice, the more he said, the brighter the shopkeeper Du's eyes became.

"That's a good idea! That's a good idea!"

Shopkeeper Du clapped his hands and laughed. Xiao Ding, who didn't hear much, became even more curious. He leaned over and asked, "What? What? Shopkeeper, what good idea can you tell me?"

Shopkeeper Du tapped Xiao Ding on the head, "Go away! You'll know when the time comes."

Xiao Ding was not annoyed when he was knocked down, he just wanted to know what a good idea it was, but seeing the shopkeeper and Gu Xiucai looking mysterious, he rolled his eyes and asked Gu Beizhi, "Gu Xiucai, tell me, Can your idea make Zhenyu Pavilion suffer a little?"

"Brother Ding, it depends on the eyesight of Zhenyu Pavilion's own appraiser." Gu Beizhi made a fool of himself.

After hearing this, Xiao Ding didn't know whether it was possible or not. He wanted to ask again, but Gu Beizhi had already bid farewell to Shopkeeper Du.

"Dubber, let's leave it like this for today. I'll go to the bookstore first." Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Beizhi left Bao Yixuan and went to the bookstore where the books were copied.

Although it is not yet the day of settlement, he can tell the shopkeeper of the bookstore that he will not do the settlement after finishing copying today. In these few days, he can just finish copying the whole book again, and he can get more money at the settlement.

Gu Beizhi was in a good mood. Seeing that there was no hope of picking up leaks, he thought of working as an appraiser in an antique shop. On the one hand, he had a golden finger and his own eyesight. This job was most suitable for him. Teacher Yue has a lot of silver, so it is not a problem to support the family.

Just like these two paintings of Wu Yong, he already knew that both paintings were real, but he was just waiting for an opportunity to have an intersection with Bao Yixuan.

The reason why he often goes to Baoyixuan is that he can enter Baoyixuan to work. He has visited the whole antique street. Baoyixuan is a relatively large-scale and honest shop, although the wages are not the highest among all similar shops. , but colleagues are the best to get along with.

Secondly, Wu Yong's paintings are suspected to be true or false come from Baoyixuan, he has an excellent opportunity to let Baoyixuan see his value, so after all, Baoyixuan is his best choice.

As for why he was sure that the two paintings were real, he relied on cheating tips when he didn't know the painters well, and knowing the differences between the painters before and after proved the accuracy of cheating fingers.At first, the two paintings he saw were worth more than a thousand taels. If one of the paintings was fake, the value should be very different, but the value of these two paintings is more than a thousand taels.

At the beginning, he wasn't sure, maybe more than 1000 taels would be marked with more than [-] taels, but what if the real painting was only worth [-] taels, while the fake painting was only worth [-] taels?

Later, his golden finger was upgraded, and after the items within 3000 taels could see the specific value, he appraised the two paintings again, and he was sure that both paintings were made by Wu Yong.

He also compared Wu Yong's previous paintings to verify his judgment, so he immediately made a plan to find an opportunity to dismantle the identities of the two paintings, so there was a demonstration of the teapot without a lid in front, just to dismantle the paintings later bedding.

However, without waiting for him to pave the way step by step, Zhenyu Pavilion gave him this opportunity first, so how could he not seize it?

As for why he had to waste two chances to reappraise, the purpose was to prevent the paintings from being stolen during this period of time. After confirming that they hadn't been dropped, he immediately revealed the origin of the two paintings.

Originally, I thought that to become an appraiser of Baoyixuan, I had to think of a way, but I didn’t expect shopkeeper Du to be so kind, and he tied him to the interests of Baoyixuan before asking for a way, which saved a lot of money. His tongue.

As for what he did...

In fact, it is very simple, just like modern novels, the reversal and slap in the face are readers' favorite plots.So he gave shopkeeper Du an idea, saying that he would invite a well-known appraiser in Beijing to re-appraise the two paintings, and sincerely invite all collectors and colleagues to come and watch them.

The previous appraiser who misjudged was indeed a very famous master of calligraphy and painting appraisal in the capital. This has happened in recent years, and he must be very willing to wash away this stain by himself.

Maybe it can make a little limelight, thanks to the fact that Bao Yixuan did not advertise that it was appraised by this appraiser. At that time, it was to prove the strength of Bao Yixuan, but now it is a matter of letting the appraiser cooperate. their sincerity.

How to do it is the business of shopkeeper Du. Gu Beizhi has come up with an idea, and he also said how to pour a pot of dirty water back. Consider whether to work here.

Gu Beizhi put this matter behind him and went to a cloth shop in the north of the city. The last time he took a piece of cloth home from the yamen, his original plan was to make clothes for the three of them first, and wait for a while. If you have money, you can buy cloth to replace the two bodies.

But one piece of cloth is not enough for the father and son to make clothes, and the cloth given by the yamen is too rough and uncomfortable to the touch, so it is not suitable for making close-fitting clothes. It is okay to make cotton-padded jacket leather in winter.

Gu Beizhi wanted to check the price of cotton cloth first, to see if he should go back and ask Guan Zhou for some money to buy cloth.

Cloth is sold here by foot. One meter of cloth is three feet. An adult needs a little more than four meters to make a suit of clothes. Two children are equivalent to one adult, which means you need to buy nine meters and thirty feet.

The price of cotton cloth is not expensive. The top-grade cotton cloth is thirteen coins a foot, the middle one is ten coins, and the worst is eight coins. The worst kind was first ruled out by Gu Beizhi. , he hesitated between the upper class and the middle class.

According to his thinking, he is naturally willing to buy the best, and the quality of life needs to be improved, but considering the poverty of his family, he prefers to buy medium cotton cloth. It looks like left and right, and the price is 330 ren.

330 Wen, Gu Beizhi counted the money in his hand, he still has 270 Wen, he can settle with the bookstore the day after tomorrow for copying books, about [-] Wen, that's enough.

Gu Bei knows this person, he seems to have a good temper, he is very talkative, and he is also gentle and considerate, but he is actually very strong, with a bit of machismo feeling, but he is not the kind of machismo who is in charge of his own house. A big man who has to carry himself.

Just like he could tell Guan Zhou that he wanted some money to buy cloth, but he didn't want to. As long as he could afford it, he chose not to say it.

But he is also extremely considerate. If he puts a person in his heart, he will consider all aspects. At first, he just wanted to let Guan Zhou and the two children live without being discriminated against by others. After living slowly for a while, he gradually I got used to the life of four people living together, and gradually took the three of them to heart, and slowly wanted them to live a better and more prosperous life.

Gu Beizhi left from Buzhuang, and came across a small toy stall on the road. The stall owner was shaking a rattle. The sound of "dong dong dong" attracted many children to watch. He and Erbao have never played rattle...

"Boss, how much is this rattle?" Gu Beizhi stepped forward to inquire about the price, his eyes swept over the stall, and there was actually Jiu Lianhuan.

The peddler was full of smiles and was very enthusiastic, "Young master, take a look first, our double-faced drum is very solid, listen to this sound, it's not boring at all..."

In the end, Gu Beizhi bought a rattle, a Jiulianhuan and two clay dolls under the enthusiastic promotion of the hawker. With the toys in his pocket, for some reason, he was a little uneasy, for fear of being caught by Guan Zhou and asked how much it cost.

"I'm back." Gu Beizhi stuffed the toy into his clothes and knocked on the door.

Guan Zhou quickly opened the door, "Are you back? The meal will be ready soon, Dabao and Erbao are playing in the backyard."

"Well, I see, I'll go and see them." Gu Beizhi pretended to be the same as usual, and first went to the backyard to see the two children.

Seeing Gu Beizhi striding towards the backyard, Guan Zhou always felt a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it, and hurried back to the kitchen, the dishes were still in the pot.

When Guan Zhou was no longer in sight, Gu Beizhi took out the rattle from his arms, "Da Bao, Er Bao, quickly look at what this is?"

When Dabao and Erbao heard the sound of the rattle, they came over curiously, "Daddy, what is this?"

"This is a rattle, look, it turns like this..." Gu Beizhi taught the two children to play with the rattle, and then taught them how to play Jiulianhuan.

When Guan Zhou came to find him, he saw the father and son playing together with a new toy, and called out in a drawn-out voice, "Beizhi——"

Gu Beizhi froze, and when he turned around, he was already smiling, but no matter how he looked, he looked a little uncomfortable, "Xiaozhou, is the meal ready? I'll take the child to wash his hands." Turning back, he called Dabao, Erbao, "Baby, let's go, let's wash our hands."

After speaking, holding each other and walking quickly to the front yard to wash their hands, Guan Zhou gritted his teeth and watched behind the three of them, and couldn't help but smile when he watched, the husband has really changed a lot, but this lavish The fault still needs to be corrected!He decided to persuade his husband after dinner, he couldn't help but spend money, there was no need to buy these old toys.
