The person standing in front of him was none other than Fu Yu.
Seeing Fu Yu, Wen Qingzhu felt even more unhappy.
"Ms. Wen, Ayi is my cousin. Of course I can go to the Zhou family. I heard that she invited you, so I came to see her together."
Fu Yu was very pleased to see it.
But Wen Qingzhu just looked unhappy at him.
At this moment, Zhou Yi opened the car curtain and got out with the help of the maid.
"Sister Wen, I told my cousin. I heard that you already knew your cousin, so I wanted to bring him here with you."
Seeing Zhou Yi excusing Fu Yu, Wen Qingzhu had nothing to do.
"Okay, let's go." Wen Qingzhu didn't want to see Fu Yu, so he simply turned away.
But just as they were about to get in the car, Wen Mingliang's voice came from behind.
"Ms. Zhou, what a coincidence!"
Wen Qingzhu turned around and saw that not only Wen Mingliang was coming, but Wen Qingxin was also there.
As many people disappeared, she became thinner and thinner.
"Seventh sister, Master Fu, Miss Zhou." Wen Qingxin greeted politely.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them: "Are you going out too?"
"Well, I'll take Xin'er to Fengguo Temple." Wen Mingliang explained frankly.
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu looked at Wen Qingxin in surprise.
The last time she asked Lei Shuo, she also wanted to go to Fengguo Temple.
Wen Qingxin happened to be going out. Could it be that his purpose was also Master Jiudeng
After the two parties exchanged greetings, they went out.
Fu Yu was riding his horse, while Wen Qingzhu and Zhou Yi were sitting in the car.
After a while, someone seemed to be coming quickly outside.
Fu Yu stopped on the side of the road, and Zhou Yi couldn't help but lift the car curtains to take a look.
I found a Fu family member talking to Fu Yu.
Zhou Yi frowned and looked away, tightening the handkerchief in her hand.
When Wen Qingzhu saw this, he asked her, "Is Mr. Fu not going?"
"It should be." Zhou Yi's voice was very disappointed.
Seeing her like this, Wen Qingzhu probably understood what she was thinking.
It seems that Zhou Yi likes Fu Yu.
In this way, Wen Mingliang would have no chance.
Although Fu Yu may not necessarily marry Zhou Yi in the end.
But compared to Jiang Yijia, Zhou Yi is a more suitable candidate.
I walked to the street and heard the bustle of people outside.
Zhou Yi suddenly said: "Sister Wen, did you often go shopping before?"
"Almost not." Wen Qingzhu shook his head.
Zhou Yi looked at her eagerly: "It should be time to arrive at Sibao Study Room now. I want to buy an inkstone for my cousin. I got the news yesterday that a new batch of inkstones will be returned to Sibao Study Room today."
"Then I'll accompany Sister Zhou down." Wen Qingzhu thought this was nothing.
With a personality like Zhou Yi's, it's normal for her to like Fu Yu.
However, she still felt that Zhou Yi was a little blind. Fu Yu was not as open-minded as Zhou Yi!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped at the door of Sibao Study.
After they got off the car, Wen Qingzhu saw the Four Treasures Study Room that Zhou Yi had mentioned.
Looking up, many young ladies and gentlemen were coming in and out.
"This way." Zhou Yi took Wen Qingzhu's hand and led her in through the side door.
Wen Qingzhu smiled. It seemed that she had been here many times.
When they arrived at the house, the shopkeeper recognized Zhou Yi at a glance.
"Miss Zhou, please come to the second floor." The shopkeeper personally took them to the second floor.
On the second floor, there are fewer people.
The most important thing is that there are private rooms separated by screens.
It is neither completely closed nor completely open, which is very suitable for rich ladies like Zhou Yi to buy things.
After arriving at a pavilion and sitting down, a maid came forward.
"Ms. Zhou, do you want the batch of inkstones that came back today?"
Zhou Yi nodded: "Well, I want to choose one for my cousin."
"Miss Zhou, wait a moment, I have sent someone to get it." The maid said gently and politely.
Then he turned to look at Wen Qingzhu: "Does this young lady need anything?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and realized that it was time for Mingxuan to use something better.
She then raised her head and said, "Do you have Huizhou's pine smoke ink, Bozhou's langhao brush, and Luocheng's rice paper?"
After hearing her words, the maid was startled.
Zhou Yi was also surprised. Wen Qingzhu was eager to order good things as soon as he came.
After a long while, the maid asked in detail: "Is the Huizhou Songyanmo that the young lady mentioned coming from Jinji?"
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
The maid's expression turned stiff: "Then the Langhao pen in Bozhou belongs to the Liu family?"
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded again.
The maid's face became stiffer again: "Then, is the rice paper in Luocheng from the Sun family?"
"This is natural." Wen Qingzhu's smile widened.
Although I don’t know the origin of this Four Treasures Study, Zhou Yi comes here often, so there must be a lot of good things.
The maid hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "Miss, our store has a quota for these things. We have a batch of Lushan inkstones now. Do you want to take a look first?"
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu nodded and told him, "If the things I mentioned are available in your store, please send someone to notify them. Money is not an issue."
"Yes." The maid nodded quickly and retreated.
When there were no more people waiting around, Zhou Yi asked with admiration: "Are these things your sister wants to give away?"
"No, I bought it for my brother. He is practicing calligraphy now. He will be more serious about using good things and the effect will be better." Wen Qingzhu explained.
Zhou Yi was thoughtful.
After a while, the maid came over with two guys.
Eight inkstones were put down one after another.
Landscapes, flowers and birds, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are what the elegant people like.
Wen Qingzhu picked up one of the inkstones, looked at it carefully, and then put it back silently.
The maid had just seen Wen Qingzhu's ability and quickly asked, "Don't you like it, young lady?"
"It's okay, I want this bamboo one." Wen Qingzhu didn't like it much.
Not to mention the maid, Zhou Yi could hear the reluctance in her words: "Sister Wen, don't you think these things are bad?"
"It's pretty good." Wen Qingzhu quickly showed a hint of appreciation.
However, Zhou Yi put down the inkstone in her hand: "This thing is a good thing, but giving it to my cousin is nothing."
"Has Sister Wen ever seen a better inkstone?" Zhou Yi felt that Wen Qingzhu must have seen a lot of good things.
This time Zhou Yi's aunt is Fu Yu's mother.
He specifically told her that Fu Yu's favorite inkstone was broken.
So that she can prepare a new one and send it over.
So Zhou Yi decided to pick the best one.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Zhou Yi: "You should have given Mr. Fu a lot of things before, right? Are you going to give something special this time?"
"Well! This time is different from before." Zhou Yi's eyes were serious, "I just heard what Sister Wen said, and I feel that Sister Wen is very knowledgeable. How about Sister Wen give me a reference?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded slowly and turned to look at the maid: "These eight inkstones are of average standard. I estimate they cost about one hundred taels of silver. Do you need about five hundred taels of inkstones in your store?"
The maid opened her mouth, a little incredulous: "Xiao, what are you asking about, the inkstone of 500 taels?"
"Well, I think since you know about the Jinji Liu family, you must know that there will be a kind of flowing water inkstone produced near Lushan Mountain!"
The maid stammered, not knowing what to say, and finally said: "You two ladies, wait a moment, I'll go ask."
After the maid left, Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask: "Do they really have a running water inkstone here? Aren't these things cheap but not marketable?"
"You heard just now that the maid said that if she went to ask, she would definitely have it, but it may have been reserved or sold to a designated person." Wen Qingzhu did not dare to completely say that it was OK.
After all, this is someone else's thing, and they can't buy or sell it by force.
Two quarters of an hour later, the maid came back holding a brocade box.
She said very respectfully: "The boss said that since the two ladies know the goods, then this flow inkstone will be sold to the two ladies."
After putting down the brocade box, the maid opened it gently.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was an inkstone with rounded edges, fine texture, and a layer of fine lines naturally floating on it.
"Good stuff!" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but praise, "I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I'm not sure about the quality of the flowing water inkstone, but this one is pretty good."
"Miss, you really know the goods. The boss said, give the two ladies a friendly price, five thousand taels of silver."
Wen Qingzhu had no reaction, but Zhou Yi was stunned.
I almost blurted out: It’s so expensive!
Although Zhou Yi was not short of money, her private money was only 30,000 taels of silver. Spending 5,000 taels of silver to buy an inkstone that would not last long seemed a bit uneconomical.
However, this hesitation only existed for a moment, and Zhou Yi immediately replied: "I want this inkstone!"
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for the lady right now." The maid closed the lid and prepared to pack it.
But Wen Qingzhu held the maid's hand and turned to ask Zhou Yi: "Sister Zhou, is it appropriate to buy an inkstone with so much money?"
She mainly felt that it was inappropriate to give it to Fu Yu.
"Since Sister Wen has agreed, of course I have to buy it. After all, it is for my cousin." Zhou Yi's eyes were full of joy.
Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to let go. Since Zhou Yi wanted to buy it, she couldn't stop it.
I just thought that I could come over next time and buy a better one for Fu Lie.
Her big brother Fu doesn't need to be inferior to Fu Yu, of course he should use a better one.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu's heart moved: "Do you still have a flowing water inkstone here?"
The maid was even more shocked now: "Miss, do you want another piece?"
Wen Qingzhu glanced at Zhou Yi: "Miss Zhou wants this piece. I suddenly remembered that I want to give it away. If there is any, I want to buy it. I hope your boss will give it some face."
"This..." The maid was a little embarrassed.
Wen Qingzhu asked Lv Tao to hand over a purse: "There are five taels of gold in it. It's not respectful. Please go and run for it, girl."
"Okay then." The maid took the purse, turned around and left again.
But this time, the maid came back quickly.
She handed the purse back to Lu Tao: "The boss said that the other running water inkstone has another use. I will wait until next year for the lady to come and take a look."
Wen Qingzhu was a little disappointed: "Well, let's not force others to do anything."
Lu Tao received Wen Qingzhu's look and handed the purse back: "This little gold can be considered as errand fees for the girl. After all, you are troublesome."
The maid accepted it sheepishly.
After Zhou Yi paid the bill, Wen Qingzhu stood up and said, "Sister Zhou, let's go."
"Well!" As soon as Zhou Yi got up, he saw a gorgeously dressed maid running over.
Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong, so he told Zhou Yi and the two of them quickly went downstairs.
Just when I was about to go out, there was a sudden strong wind behind me.
Wen Qingzhu pulled Zhou Yi aside and turned around to see a flamboyantly dressed woman with two guards coming over.
"Stop for me, young lady!"
