This woman is Aunt Yongfu.
Aunt Yongfu originally didn't want to talk to Xu Tingzhi, but when she thought about the last time the horseman rewarded the plague god with a tael of silver, she immediately changed her mind. She smiled and said: "Yes, this is Wenjia Village. You want me, sir?" Who are you looking for? I am from Wenjia Village, and I know everyone in Wenjia Village! I know everyone’s situation, and I can guide you to whomever you are looking for.”
"Is there a girl in your Wenjia Village who is particularly good at painting?"
Xu Tingzhi studied the painting carefully last night, paying no attention to every detail, including the handwriting of the signature. It is certain that the painting was made by a woman, and the painting style was full of vigor. Some places were treated mischievously and wantonly, which shows that the painting process People are young and their thoughts are undecided.
"Hey, sir, how did you know? I was going to his house for a dinner! Come on, I'll take you over to find her!"
Xu Tingzhi didn't expect to find it as soon as he asked. After thinking about it, he understood again.
His apprentice painted so well and was so talented that he must be famous in the village. How could people in the same village not know him
He smiled and thanked: "Thank you, aunt."
Aunt Yongfu was a little dumbfounded. She just thanked her and didn't give a reward
Aunt Yongfu coughed: "Last time, an uncle asked me for directions, but he rewarded me with a tael of silver."
Xu Tingzhi: "......"
He silently took out a tael of silver and gave it to her.
Aunt Yongfu became even more enthusiastic after receiving the money: "I tell you! All the children in that family are reincarnations of Wenquxing. The eldest son went to study at that Shan Academy. I heard that all the high officials of Nalan Kingdom came from that academy. Out! The eldest daughter plays the piano very well and was selected for the Empress Dowager’s Qianqiu Banquet. I heard that she can meet the Emperor and the Empress Dowager! The second daughter’s paintings look as if they are real. Each painting is worth thousands of gold. I heard that she is going to pay homage to her. What kind of big shot is your teacher? It will be even more amazing in the future!"
Xu Tingzhi was a little anxious after hearing this. His apprentice became someone else's teacher, what should he do
"Madam, please take me to find her quickly!" Xu Tingzhi took out another taels of silver.
"Ouch... Okay, okay, okay!" Aunt Yongfu was so happy that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear after one more tael of silver: "It's just ahead! Who are you, sir? What do you want from Sister Yu?"
With an extra tael of silver, Aunt Yongfu was even more enthusiastic, her heart burning with gossip.
―――
The old residence of the Wen family is bustling with activity!
Ten tables were full.
Mr. Wen and Wen Jiafu were surrounded by everyone and praised them. They were so happy that they drank two glasses too much and their faces turned red.
Master Guo was originally not very satisfied with his daughter's marriage, but several of the children born to Wen Jiafu were indeed promising. One was able to participate in the election for the Qianqiu Banquet, and one was actually appreciated by Master Xu. Wen Liang's studies were also good. , maybe you can really make some achievements in the future!
At this moment, he was very satisfied!
The county magistrate and his family were also invited by Wen Jiafu. Before going out, he told his wife to be more polite to the Wen Jiafu family in the future.
The reason why he approached him and bought the jade mine in his name was because he wanted to make good friends with it.
If Wen Wan flies on the branches in the future, Wen Liang will definitely be the best!
Now even Wen Yu is favored by Master Xu, which is beyond his imagination.
Even the emperor praised Master Xu's paintings.
Master Xu's family is a big family in the capital. There are many disciples of the Xu family who are officials in the court, and each of them is older than his small county magistrate.
Nor can it be compared to his distant cousin in the Yongle Department in the capital.
That is a family background that these people cannot reach!
To become Master Xu's disciple is to touch the edge of the most noble circle in Nalan Kingdom.
And if Wen Wan can be favored by the emperor or a certain prince, then she has truly entered the most noble center.
The county magistrate felt that he was right to invest in Wen Jiafu this time.
Over there with the female relatives.
The girls in the village all tried their best to strike up a conversation with Wen Wan and Wen Yu.
Sitting there gently and reservedly, she smiled politely at them and occasionally replied with a word or two.
Wen Yu only talked to Song Jinxiu, the daughter of the county magistrate, the daughter of Master Guo, the granddaughter of her aunt, and others.
He dismissed the flattery of those village girls.
Someone asked: "Why are Wenwen, Wenxin and the other sisters not here?"
Song Yuting, my aunt's daughter, pursed her lips after hearing this, with the fat on her face squeezed into a pile, and said in a disdainful tone: "They are illiterate and only know how to deal with soil. Do you have the nerve to come? Do you dare to come? Aren't you afraid of embarrassment? What kind of banquet is this?”
This banquet was held to celebrate Sister Yu’s entry into Master Xu’s sect!
The girls in the village suddenly did not dare to speak, and they were also illiterate.
Wen Yu smiled and said nothing.
The women in the village on the other side all surrounded Mrs. Zhu:
"My rich mother, your rich family is the most promising in our village! Who can invite the whole village to a banquet on a normal day? My rich mother, how do you raise your children?" so amazing!"
"You are wrong. A wealthy family has a lot of potential, but the most promising ones are his children! Each one is more promising than the last. Sister-in-law, when your brother Liang becomes a high official, don't forget to support us fellow villagers! "
"Sister Wan is also amazing. Our ancestors for eighteen generations have never had the chance to see the Queen Mother. Your Majesty, we can actually see Sister Wan! The old Wen family has smoke coming out of their ancestral graves!"
"Sister Yu is also very good. Master Xu wants to accept her as his disciple. The family's wealth does not mean Master Xu's paintings. Even the emperor hangs them in the imperial study to admire! A painting is worth ten thousand gold! From now on, you will I’m waiting to enjoy the blessings of being an old lady! Don’t forget us sisters in the future!”
... ..
The good words of the villagers seem to come free of charge.
Today, Mrs. Zhu is wearing a new dress with longevity pattern, gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes, not to mention how noble she is!
Mrs. Zhu listened to everyone's words of praise and looked at their envy of her. She was so happy that she couldn't smile from ear to ear.
She glanced at Ms. Wang, who was sitting next to her and straightened up, being ignored by everyone, and said: "Sister, my sister Yu is very powerful. Do you know how many taels of silver she sold for that format?"
Mrs. Wang was still invited by Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen said all his nice things and spoke in a low voice.
He even dragged the old village chief along with him on the way.
The old village chief is his cousin.
Wang didn't want to show off to the old village chief, so she came alone.
None of them came with Nuan Nuan.
Wang glanced at Zhu disdainfully: "It's just one hundred and fifty taels!"
Her Nuan sister's paintings were auctioned for three thousand taels.
Sister Yu’s paintings
Ha~, even the commission given by her sister Nuan is not enough, it’s far from enough!
Thinking of this, Wang's waist straightened up even more, and she looked at Zhu's actions with a half-smile.
Just think she is playing monkey tricks!
Wang found that this felt quite good.
