Beautiful indeed.
His calligraphy was always average, but the word "Xuan" on the ribbed paper looked like he had gained ten years of skills...
The girl tilted her head and smiled, "Although I don't know how to write, you wrote this word very beautifully."
Woo woo woo, he really wants to buy it.
Woo woo woo, but he really can’t afford it.
Wow, this sister is so gentle.
The girl handed the written paper to Mr. Fang with both hands, and took out three more cowhide envelopes from the drawer. She smiled and said, "Your character and writing are very suitable for the paper in our store. If you don't mind, you can take these samples back and try them again."
Although he didn't mention buying paper at all, and didn't promote it or urge him, Fang Shusheng seemed to have made up his mind and asked in a low voice: "Are all the papers in your shop sold at a price per piece? Pink peach mica paper...can I only buy fifty sheets?"
Fifty pieces, about forty taels, were his monthly allowance for five months, and it was enough to support him.
The girl seemed stunned by the suggestion. After a moment, she smiled again and said, "Today is the first day of opening. I need to ask our shopkeeper. Is it okay with you?"
Fang Shusheng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
The girl bowed and went inside. After a while, she came out with an envelope in her hand and handed it to Fang Shusheng: "Please write down your address - our shopkeeper is very grateful for your interest."
Why write the address?
Mr. Fang didn't understand.
The girl smiled and said, "We don't do transactions on the spot in our store. You order the paper and we deliver it to your door within seven days. You can pay on the spot then."
The girl smiled neither servilely nor arrogantly: "This is a great place for all of you connoisseurs to view, taste and appreciate paper. How can you let the smell of money taint such a pure and elegant atmosphere?"
Fang Shusheng naturally developed an elegant posture - even his jaw angle was raised!
yes!
The smell of ink and copper!
Paper smells better!
The paper he liked has the scent of spring!
Fang Shusheng lowered his eyes and wrote down the address, then unconsciously handed it back to the girl with both hands.
The girl smiled and handed Fang Shusheng a piece of laminated hard paper with the words "Half-knife Pink Peach Mica Paper" written on it.
Fang Shusheng took it and looked at it. He saw a small seal on the interlayer of hard paper. It was a small seal character "He". "Is your boss's surname He?"
The girl smiled but said nothing.
Scholar Fang is now extremely curious about the owner of this shop: "Which He family? There are no more than ten people in the entire capital who can take over a shop at this location, renovate it so magnificently, and get Master Qiao's handwritten inscription... I have never heard of any noble family with the surname He..."
After thinking for a while, he said, "But the He family in Dandong? The clan of He Qianshan, the governor of Liaodong?"
The girl still smiled but said nothing.
Scholar Fang wanted to ask more, but the girl smiled and took two steps forward: "Let me take you to visit Feng, Ya and Song. You should get familiar with them. Next time you come, you will be a regular customer."
Scholar Fang stopped talking and followed him. When he reached the door, he found that there were only four or five people looking at the papers in the entire large hall. Beside each of them there was a girl or a young woman in a pink satin skirt, explaining the papers.
What about others?
There were at least twenty people rushing in!
Scholar Fang looked up and saw that a thick red velvet line had been erected at the entrance of the hall. Two handsome servants in dark crimson gowns were standing at the entrance.
In the courtyard, a square table with eight immortals was placed at some point, and tea and four-color cakes were served...
Those who didn't come in just drank tea and enjoyed the view in the courtyard.
When one person leaves the hall, the red velvet thread is taken down and another person is let in... The spacious hall always holds only four or five people.
Scholar Fang was stunned.
Can you still do business like this?
When other stores see so many people, they want to let them all in, begging you to buy, pushing you to buy, and forcing you to buy... But this store is different, they refuse to receive people when they come!
No, no, no, he also receives!
He invites you to tea in the courtyard!
Fang Shusheng took a deep breath.
It’s still expensive Mingqian tea!
Fang Shusheng stood at the door, and suddenly felt lucky that he bought half a roll of paper - the store treats you with sincerity, you must return the favor with sincerity! You can't just occupy the toilet without taking a shit!
Fang Shusheng swallowed his saliva and asked the girl: "Can we make money by doing business like this?"
The girl smiled gracefully: "In such an elegant place like ours, it is not customary to mention money."
Fang Shusheng said “Oh oh oh” repeatedly.
The red velvet dividers were put down.
Fang Shusheng walked out. He was afraid that others would think he didn't buy anything, so he held up the interlayer with his private seal in small seal script high and said hello to the group of people in the courtyard whom he didn't know: "This store is really good! They deliver goods to your door!"
