According to the contact information given by Wu Youcai, Jiang Qiao rode a small electric donkey into the city early the next morning and found the piano shop owner named Li.
Looking at the various guitars, drums, pianos, saxophones... he always felt as if he had been tricked by Wu Youcai, and was extremely dissatisfied with the needs and reality. However, it seemed that he himself did not describe it clearly. This piano was very special. Biqin.
But I can't buy Fairy Bai a piano. Not to mention whether she can play it, the style of an antique fairy playing a modern instrument seems a bit broken.
"Uh... Boss, do you have any traditional musical instruments here? For example, guzheng, guqin or something like that."
The owner of the music store was cleaning the house with a feather duster. Hearing Jiang Qiao's inquiry, he shook his head: "There are fewer and fewer people learning traditional musical instruments. Those things are not easy to sell and have been discontinued a long time ago."
"Then do you know where I can buy it in the city?"
Boss Li sighed: "I am the only music store in Zhongcheng. To be honest, the business of classical musical instruments is not easy, and there are even fewer people who know how to do after-sales maintenance. If you want to buy, you might as well just buy online."
Hearing this, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then left the store.
He took out his cell phone and called Wu Youcai to ask him if there was any other way.
"Did you buy the piano?" Wu Youcai's lazy voice came from the phone. This guy seemed to be still sleeping.
"No." Jiang Qiao sighed, "Boss Li only has piano, accordion, and electronic keyboard, and what I want is the guqin. Do you have any other friends?"
"This... I really don't think so. When Su Jin was studying music, he bought the piano from him."
"Okay, I'll think of a solution myself. By the way, you haven't gotten up yet?"
"I'm sleeping with my wife. I was too tired last night."
"Blank!"
Jiang Qiao hung up the phone without saying anything. He wanted to be so tired, but he was currently practicing the Little Golden Man and had been rebooting for more than half a month. If one day he couldn't hold it back and all his previous efforts were wasted, this painful experience would still be there. Gotta do it again.
After buying some daily necessities in the city, Jiang Qiao quickly returned to the mountain on a small electric donkey.
"came back?"
Hearing the footsteps, Fairy Bai asked without looking back. She moved a stool and sat outside the balcony, not knowing what she was doing.
"Um."
"What did you buy?"
"A bag of rice, tomatoes, eggs, meat, and some fruits and vegetables." These materials are almost another week's supply.
He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I originally went to the city specifically to buy you a piano, but I didn't get it. There are only Western instruments in the piano store."
Fairy Bai felt a little warm in her heart: "It's okay, I just said it casually yesterday, don't take it to heart."
He sighed. If there is really no other way, then he can only buy it online and make it as expensive as possible. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, so the quality can be guaranteed.
I put all the things I bought in the refrigerator one by one. Looking back, I saw Fairy Bai still sitting on the balcony with her head lowered.
"Yue Ling, what are you doing?"
"draw."
Jiang Qiao suddenly became interested and walked behind Fairy Bai to look at her paintings. An ordinary piece of A4 paper seemed to contain a landscape—
The hazy clouds and mist, the mountain peaks, the red sun emerging from the clouds, the birds flying across the sky, and the strange human-shaped stone standing on the edge of the cliff.
Fairy Bai seemed to be just taking a brush and scribbling on the white paper, but the final content was stunning enough, with an indescribable charm.
The painting looked familiar. Jiang Qiao looked up at the scenery outside the balcony and suddenly realized, didn't this painting describe his own perspective at this time
After a while, the sun disappeared and rain fell in the painting. A woman stood on the edge of the cliff, and not far away there was a man running towards her holding an umbrella.
"Huh, done." Fairy Bai put down the brush and blew the ink on the drawing paper. Then she looked back at Jiang Qiao and asked, "Does it look like it?"
"picture!"
He nodded vigorously, and his hands naturally passed through her waist and gently held her in his arms.
"My Yueling, is there anything else you don't know?"
"There are a lot of them. I can't understand physics questions, I can't do chemical equations, and I don't know what kind of programming code it is. It's hard to be a little boy."
Jiang Qiao: "..."
It should be said that she is worthy of being a fairy. Opening her mouth and keeping silent is the mushroom egg that was created with the efforts of the whole country.
"I'm not talking about these things. In fact, after graduating from school, except for some very professional people, everyone else has almost forgotten it and will never think of using knowledge in life, such as me."
Jiang Qiao lowered his head and sniffed her hair deeply: "Why did you suddenly think of painting today?"
"I saw videos of people making money by painting paintings for others. A painting can cost three to five hundred to several thousand, but the painting seems different from mine. I wonder if I can sell it for money?"
“…”
What's going on with this little old lady lately? Lost your money? Yesterday I planned to do a live broadcast of performing arts, and today I want to sell paintings. It sounds like I have treated her badly.
"Uh... those who request works online are usually illustrations or original paintings. This is an ink painting, and the audience is different. If you want to sell it for money, if there are buyers who know the goods, they might be willing to spend a lot of money." Jiang Qiao smiled.
Although he is a layman who does not know how to paint, Fairy Bai's painting skills are at a very top level even in the eyes of a layman like him. After all, ten thousand years is too long. Even if he does it once in a while, he will reach a level that is beyond the reach of others. the height of.
Listening to the words of the knowledgeable seller, Fairy Bai bit her lip. She didn't think anyone in this world could tell that this painting was written by an immortal.
"Those painters' works don't look difficult. I should be able to learn them."
Jiang Qiao was a little helpless. Putting aside whether he wanted to learn or not, he asked, "Have you ever painted for others in Ziweixing before?"
Fairy Bai shook her head and then nodded, with a serious tone on her face: "My calligraphy and paintings are very expensive in Ziweixing. Even if you are not a Holy Land family, you can't afford them."
Jiang Qiao has no doubt that as a dignified Immortal Emperor, anything she spreads can be regarded as a rare treasure.
"That's alright. If you exchange your calligraphy treasures for money, wouldn't that be equivalent to a waste of natural resources?"
Speaking of which, it was a bit miserable that the dignified Immortal Emperor had fallen to this level.
"But this world has no aura and no laws. Even if these calligraphy and paintings are made by me, they cannot have monstrous power and can only be regarded as ordinary calligraphy and painting."
Jiang Qiao rolled his eyes: "I have been with you for so long, but I still think I am a novice cultivator who knows nothing. You cultivators talk about cause and effect. Everything that comes from your hands will be contaminated by luck. Once your calligraphy and painting are If you sell it, if nothing else, it will definitely have the effect of house-building."
If there are certain "special effects" and sold at a low price of 3 to 500 yuan, isn't it a loss
Listening to his rationale, Fairy Bai unexpectedly did not refute. It seemed that Jiang Qiao had guessed correctly.
In fact, he doesn't have to worry so much at all. Before a person becomes famous, no matter how high his painting level is, it won't matter. Without publicity, no one will know about it.
Just like holding a luminous pearl in your hand, others may at most think it is a glass bead coated with fluorescent powder. Unless it is appraised by a treasure appraisal office, the true value will be revealed to the world.
"Can you give me this painting?" Jiang Qiao suddenly asked, looking at the A4 finger that had been completely dried.
It's just a pity that this is not the kind of professional drawing paper, otherwise the effect should be better.
"Okay, but what are you going to do with it?"
"Of course, frame it and pass it down as a family heirloom."
Jiang Qiao hugged Bai Xianzi and said something: "When we have a daughter in the future, we can point to this painting and say to her, didn't you see that this is how your father and your mother met."
"Who wants to give you a daughter!" Fairy Bai didn't know what she was thinking of. She blushed and spat in a low voice: "You can't do it~"
Harder, harder, fist harder!
The clenched fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again. Jiang Qiao took a deep breath, snorted twice and said, "Don't underestimate a man's backbone, I will definitely do it!"
The two hugged each other on the balcony for a while, and then Jiang Qiao walked into his room with the drawing paper. In his opinion, the commemorative significance of this painting was greater than its actual value.
Finally, Bai Xianzi went into the kitchen to cook, while Jiang Qiao was doing push-ups and crunches in the living room. The fairy actually dared to laugh at him again and again. It seemed that he had to start from other sources. In terms of speeding up the progress of cultivation.
Fu Lu Shou Xi yawned and crawled out of the cat's nest, then arched the cat's back and straightened his legs before running around him.
Listening to the rhythmic sound effects coming from the living room, Fairy Bai stretched out her head and glanced at Jiang Qiao and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. She still didn't understand that this guy was working out so diligently now, didn't he just want to have a child with her
What a bad guy, he dared to secretly lie to her. Anyway, since the last Oolong incident, Fairy Bai has never taken the initiative to teach him about the Little Golden Man. With his lustful nature, he really took advantage of the confrontation. If you feel the advantage, you will not be able to drag her to have children every day in the future.
After lunch, Fairy Bai suddenly said that she wanted to go out.
Jiang Qiao asked: "Where to go?"
"Yesterday I saw a bamboo forest in the back mountain, and I wanted to cut a piece of bamboo to make Xiao." She hesitated and continued: "Don't buy me musical instruments. It's a waste of money. In fact, I can make many things myself. .”
Suddenly, Jiang Qiao felt as if both the Ren and Du veins in his body had been opened. He hugged Bai Xianzi with joy and kissed her heavily on the face.
"You... what are you doing? It's still daytime." A blush appeared on her face.
"Yue Ling, I know what we can do in the future."
"What to do?" She was a little confused.
"Hey, you'll know the secret later~" He said with a smile, "Chopping bamboo, right? I'll accompany you later."
After saying that, he returned to the room, and then found the SLR camera in the cabinet that he bought when he was in college. After playing with it for a few days, he threw it into the box and locked it.
Jiang Qiao tried turning on the phone and found that the power was out of power.
"What is this?"
"The camera is specially used to take photos and videos."
"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Fairy Bai wondered why she needed to use something else when things could be done with a mobile phone.
"It's different in terms of professionalism. For example, for the same photo, the clarity and color presented by the camera will be better." Jiang Qiao explained with a smile.
He connected the card reader to the computer and opened it, which contained many photos of Jiang Qiao from college. Occasionally, he could still see Bai Yu and Wu Youcai.
"Yue Ling, the weather is nice today. Can you put on that white Hanfu?"
"Why are you going to the mountains to chop bamboo and wear Hanfu? The terrain in the mountains is so complicated, and there are thorns and shrubs everywhere, so you don't have to worry about damaging it." Fairy Bai felt that Jiang Qiao was very strange today, as if there was something hidden from her.
"Because you are a fairy. Wearing beautiful Hanfu will make you look even more fairy-like."
"oh… "
About an hour later, Jiang Qiao went out with Fairy Bai with his camera. Before leaving, he secretly took a few shots of Fairy Bai, but she turned around and found him.
"Hey, Yue Ling, you can go your own way, you know you can't look at the camera?"
"Why are you filming me?"
Jiang Qiao turned off the camera and said helplessly, "It's a secret."
"Do you want to post my video online?" Fairy Bai narrowed her eyes. This guy is weird. Thinking about his behavior at this time, I guess it's pretty much the same.
Jiang Qiao was shocked that she had guessed it.
"Well, don't you want to be a host? I don't think it's very good for you, but you can try another way, such as making some videos of our daily lives and posting them online. Maybe it will attract a lot of people to watch."
"Will...will it be useful?" Fairy Bai hesitated.
"No one can tell for sure before the video is released, but it's okay to be idle anyway, just like if I don't make a video, you won't chop bamboo to make Xiao. All I do is record the process. Whether the video will be popular depends on the quality. .”
Jiang Qiao shrugged and continued: "However, just leave the job of editing the video to me. All you have to do is show off your talents!"
After pinching her fingers, she nodded slightly: "I'll try."
"Do we have to retake the scene just now?"
Jiang Qiao blinked. Now it seemed that Fairy Bai was brought in very quickly.
"Yes, take this kitchen knife, and then walk over from here. Remember, don't look at the camera!"
He never imagined that one day he would become a legendary photographer.
Looking at Fairy Bai in the camera, she is fluttering in white clothes and looks like a fairy. In short, she has a very good temperament.
The key is…
This fairy is his wife!
