Chapter 2212 Mr. Shanju gave it to you for free?

This was the agreed-upon explanation from both Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng. Shu Yu felt that it was better for Mr. Shanju to maintain his mystique.

Therefore, it was publicly stated that these two paintings were inspired by a sunflower field that Mr. Shanju saw when he passed through Dong'an Prefecture. After living in the vicinity for a long time, and seeing that the sunflowers were about to finish blooming, he couldn't resist the urge to capture this beautiful scene. So he climbed a nearby hill, and unexpectedly, the view from there was even more beautiful. Thus, he painted these two stunning landscapes.

Later, upon learning that the sunflower field belonged to the county magistrate of Wen'an, they arranged for it to be delivered to him.

The shopkeeper was very disappointed after hearing this, then his eyes widened in astonishment as he asked, "So these two paintings were, were, were they a gift from Mr. Shanju to you, the county magistrate, free of charge?"

Shu Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes."

The shopkeeper clutched his chest. "Do you know how much these two paintings cost?"

"Mr. Shanju said that the sunflower field in our yard made him feel good and broadened his mind, which had been blocked for a long time. For him, inspiring his creativity is priceless, and these two paintings are a gift to me as a token of his gratitude."

Yes, that's right, their sunflower field is really amazing, so everyone should go check it out when they have time.

This can help you think more clearly.

The shopkeeper remained silent for a long time after listening, then finally looked up at Shu Yu with an envious expression. "That's wonderful! This is the first time I've ever heard of Mr. Shanju giving away paintings for free, and two of them at that!"

He spoke very heavily about the two paintings, and Ying Xi, who was standing behind Shu Yu, almost burst out laughing. If the shopkeeper knew that Mr. Shanju was her young lady's future husband, he would give away not just two paintings, but two hundred. She wondered if he would faint from the shock.

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Ji's shop again and asked uncertainly, "Princess, are you planning to hang these two paintings in this shop?"

He acted as if she were wasting her talents, as if it would be wrong of her not to enshrine the painting and offer incense to it every day.

Shu Yu's lips twitched slightly. "The paintings will naturally be kept in the shop, since what we sell is related to these two paintings. However, they won't be on the first floor, but on the second floor. The second floor will be a tea room in the future. If you have free time in the future, you can come up to our second floor to enjoy tea and appreciate the paintings, and discuss Mr. Shanju's paintings with other like-minded people."

The shopkeeper was stunned. "You mean..."

Being a businessman after all, his eyes darted around, and he suddenly clapped his hands together, exclaiming, "Excellent, excellent!"

It should be noted that Mr. Shanju's paintings are not only expensive, but those who buy them also carefully treasure them, only taking them out to appreciate and comment on them when they meet with relatives and friends.

Such opportunities are extremely rare. Given the manager's status, how could he possibly be qualified to even take a look?

Now it's great, the items are right here, and they're free to look at any time. Most importantly, there are two pieces. This is such a fantastic opportunity, one that you can only dream of.

Thinking about it this way, the shopkeeper looked at Shu Yushi as if she were a great philanthropist.

He immediately cupped his hands to Shu Yu and said, "I will definitely come to congratulate you when the shop opens. By the way, these two paintings have been framed. I don't need the framing fee, but I have a favor to ask of you, County Princess."

Although Shu Yu wasn't short of money, she still asked, "What is it?"
