Tian Minrui carried the snacks and looked at Tian Minyan again, with puzzled eyes.
"Brother, if you have any questions, just ask. You are not me. Even if your forehead hurts, you can't guess what I am thinking." Tian Minyan couldn't help but smile when she saw that he wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask.
Tian Minrui blushed, scratched his head and asked, "Nanny, the money offered by Shopkeeper Wu is so high, why don't we sell the picture to him?"
If they sell it, they will have a lot of money, and the debt of ten taels will be paid off quickly.
Tian Minyan stopped, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "Brother, if we didn't sell the picture to the Seventeenth Master last time, then of course we can sell the picture to the one with the highest bid. The so-called higher bidder gets it.
But we have already chosen Master Qi’s family first, so we can’t choose anyone else. Unless Master Qi says we don’t want it, we can’t go back on our word and sell it to someone else, no matter how high the price offered by others is.”
"Whether you are a person or a business, the most important thing is integrity. Brother, just think about it, can a person who goes back on his word be reliable? Are you willing to do business with such a person? No way. So, even if the money given by Shopkeeper Wu
No matter how high it is, we can't sell it because we agreed to sell it to Master Qi."
Tian Minrui nodded in agreement after hearing this, thinking that she was obviously born earlier than her sister, but she is not as smart and quick-witted as her, and her eyelids are shallow. She couldn't help but said shyly: "Nanny, you know so much, brother, I can't compare.
you."
Tian Minyan grinned and said slyly: "Brother, learn slowly. You are the eldest son of our family, and we will rely on you to support the family from now on."
"Don't worry, sister, I will study hard." Tian Minrui nodded heavily, as if he was making a promise, very seriously.
After talking for a while, the two brothers and sisters turned the path to Wenxiang Residence and looked in at the door. There were only a few people inside. There was a high table in the main hall, and various tea leaves were placed on high shelves on both sides.
Tian Minyan walked up the stairs, and a waiter with a white towel on his shoulders came up quickly. He saw that they were two and a half-year-old children. They were not wearing silk and satin but coarse cloth skirts, but they did not show any contempt.
He just smiled and said: "Brother, sister, how are you? Are you here to buy tea or have tea?"
Tian Minyan glanced at the waiter and saw that his features were handsome and his eyes were full of intelligence. He did not look down upon them when they saw their backgrounds like the other shops outside. She couldn't help but secretly praise them, so she smiled and said: "This little brother, I
Looking for your shopkeeper Qin."
The young boy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, please sit here, and I'll call the shopkeeper."
The two brothers and sister were led to sit down at a table, and Tian Minyan took the opportunity to look at the tea house.
Different from ordinary shops that only sell tea, this place not only sells tea, but also drinks tea. There is a staircase in the northwest corner of the hall that goes straight to the second floor. Some voices of conversation came from above. Tian Minyan heard something about humanities and so on.
What are they discussing.
On the south side of the shop, there is a door with an off-white curtain embroidered with ink paintings of asparagus, which looks very elegant and simple. On both sides of the door are a row of windows with bamboo curtains rolled up. Looking over, there is actually a small garden inside.
, the roses under the window were in bloom.
In the shop, there are several tables, where two or three people gather to taste tea and chat quietly. There is a faint fragrance of tea, and the breeze blows in from the rolled-up bamboo curtain windows. The fragrance of tea is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which is very comfortable and elegant.
Unexpectedly, there was such an elegant shop in Taiping Town. Tian Minyan took a sip of tea and praised it.
As I was looking at it, I suddenly saw the curtain on the south side was lifted, and the boy I greeted just now was walking in front to lead the way, followed by a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a rose red embroidered begonia flower cardigan and an onion yellow blazer.
She wears a pleated skirt, has a graceful figure, a beautiful and calm face, her hair is pulled into a low bun, and two jade hairpins are inserted sideways, making her look extremely elegant.
Is this shopkeeper Qin a woman?
Tian Minyan stood up, a little surprised, but her doubts were cleared up in an instant. No wonder the Wenxiang Residence was so elegantly decorated. It turned out that the shopkeeper was a woman.
"Sister Qin, these are the two." The young man led shopkeeper Qin to the table, and then went to greet the guests.
"I don't know, you two..." Qin Haitang looked at the two children in front of him and spoke to himself.
Tian Minrui was a little embarrassed, stood up, looked at Tian Minyan, saw her face was calm, took another deep breath, and remained calm.
"Shopkeeper Qin, I'm here to deliver some patterns. Master Qin asked me to send some patterns here." Tian Minyan smiled slightly, took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her pocket, and handed it over.
Qin Haitang was a little surprised, stretched out his hand to take it, opened it, was stunned, glanced at Tian Minyan quickly, closed the drawing again, and said with a smile: "So you are the girl from the Tian family, and today you have seen your true body, Qian'er
The designs you painted were very popular with the ladies, and the boss of Zhenbaozhai was so happy. I looked at the beautiful designs and jewelry, and always wondered how clever people could have such thoughts.
, but I don’t want to be a half-grown child, it’s really amazing.”
Tian Minyan smiled warmly: "Shopkeeper Qin Miao praised it, but it's just the thoughts of a little girl's family, and it can't be put on the big stage. It can't be compared to shopkeeper Qin's tea house. The decoration is very fresh, elegant and excellent."
Qin Haitang saw that her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, that she was neither sincere nor fearful, nor arrogant. He also saw that she spoke decently and generously, and he liked her a little more. He smiled and said, "Miss Tian is really good at talking."
"I'm just telling the truth. Shopkeeper Qin shouldn't take it to heart if I tell the truth."
"Of course not." Qin Haitang smiled, opened the drawing and took a look at it, and said without raising his head: "I see that this pattern is more exquisite than the last one. I think it will set off another round of comparison.
The wind is blowing, Miss Tian’s current tricks are so popular that many people even want to buy them at a high price to have her jewelry made privately.”
"Shopkeeper Qin is too vain. I just hope that Guibao Store will not lose money." Tian Minyan said with a smile, and then looked around: "Shopkeeper Qin, Master Seventeen is not here today?"
Qin Haitang's lowered eyebrows quickly flashed with light, and when he raised his head, he looked kind again and said: "Master Seventeen is not in town right now. I wonder what Miss Tian has to do? If it's okay,
, I can also pass on a message."
"I have nothing else to do. I just came here because I wanted to give Master Qin a greeting. In that case, we won't disturb your business." Tian Minyan just asked casually and didn't pay attention to Shopkeeper Qin's words.
I just stood up and said goodbye.
"Xiaojun, bring me three taels of silver." Qin Haitang ordered the waiter standing not far away, and then said to Tian Minyan with a polite smile: "If Miss Tian is not in a hurry, it's not bad to have tea before leaving."
"No, I'm waiting at home, and I don't dare to nag Shopkeeper Qin." Tian Minyan refused with a smile, took the three taels of silver she handed over, and happily put it into her pocket.
Qin Haitang looked at her curved eyebrows and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Seeing her demeanor, she didn't look like she came from a small family. No wonder she caught that person's eye. She was really interesting.
