Soon all the dogwood leaves were delivered and the shop became deserted, with only Xu San, A'an and Carpenter Cao left.
"Boss, these people are probably just like us, illiterate and rough."
Xu Jiang heard the comfort in Xu San's words and smiled, "It's okay. Even if they don't buy, it's good to gain popularity. Business is about steady progress, there's no rush."
"The boss is a steady person, and he was born to do this job."
"That's right, that's right, the boss is still the smartest woman A Lai has ever seen."
"That's not true. There are so many noble ladies and famous ladies in the capital, who is not better than a common woman like me?"
As he was speaking, someone came in from the main gate. It was Du Hui, who had bought the painting yesterday. As soon as he entered, he bowed and said with a smile, "Greetings, Manager Xu."
Xu Jiang hurried over to greet him and said, "Mr. Du is here. Please come in."
Seeing this, Xu San and others quickly retreated outside the door. They had been dealing with all kinds of people for many years and had developed a sharp eye. Seeing that this man was well-mannered and hearing Xu Jiang's way of addressing him, they knew that he was different and did not dare to disturb him.
Du Hui walked in slowly and looked around. Yesterday, when he bought a painting, he didn't even think to come in and take a look. Now he saw that the place was a little small, but it was fully furnished. Books, calligraphy and paintings were classified, organized and clear.

"Mr. Du, thank you for your praise."
Xu Jiang led him on a tour. As they were looking, his eyes fell on a collection of books. He casually asked, "Ziyun's Four Fu? Whose edition is this?"
"This is the only copy of the edition printed by Chen Liang in Shu, with annotations by Mr. Yunxiao."
"Oh?" Du regained his interest and asked curiously, "Mr. Yunxiao? Isn't it rumored that he's not good at writing? Where did the annotation come from?"
"Mr. Du, you don't know that Mr. Yunxiao doesn't dislike poetry, but rather hates that he can't match it."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I heard that Mr. Yunxiao attended the Zhao family's private school in Hanyang when he was young. The Zhao family was famous for their fu, and Mr. Yunxiao learned fu from the beginning, especially revering Ziyun. However, everyone has different talents, and no matter how hard he studied, his fu always lacked elegance and style. Furthermore, his father relocated to Shuzhou and placed him under the tutelage of Mr. Muchun. Later, he focused on studying the Mingjing, and he stopped writing fu. Therefore, most people only know Mr. Yunxiao as a renowned scholar of the Mingjing, but they don't know that he also excelled in fu. This set of 'Ziyun's Four Fu' was annotated by him when he and his father first moved to Shuzhou, and it's little known."
"Since it is so little known, how did you get it?"
