Chapter 38 Portrait



Li Rongrong didn't keep anyone in suspense and opened the box directly.

There was an exquisite green-glazed phoenix lamp in the box. The lamp had a unique shape and the phoenix looked lifelike, as if it was about to be reborn from the ashes.

Next to it is a set of ceramic tableware.

This set of bowls and chopsticks has a delicate texture, warm glaze, and is painted with exquisite patterns.

The manager could tell at a glance that both items could be sold for a lot of money.

Especially the phoenix green glaze lamp. That is a phoenix. Ordinary people would not use this pattern. It must be used by aristocrats and royal families.

He estimated that this thing might be from the Han Dynasty.

If it could be from an earlier era, it could easily be sold for more than 30 million.

Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Ms. Li, if you want to buy or sell these two items, you can take them for testing now."

"Well, as soon as possible. Remember to give me the after-tax income after selling it this time."

...

...

The auction house did not deduct taxes last time, so she paid the taxes herself.

"Don't worry..." The manager immediately understood what she meant.

Auction houses like theirs generally do not deduct taxes, but leave the taxes to the sellers themselves.

As for whether it is paid or not, it depends on the seller's awareness.

When Li Rongrong was selling treasures at the auction house, Fusu was also sorting out the cloth she had sent him.

Cotton, cotton, synthetic fibers...there are many different materials.

There was no need to explain the uses of different materials. Fusu didn't understand this and could only ask the embroiderer.

The deputy general's wife Liang happened to be the best embroiderer in the surrounding villages.

Liang had a rough idea in his mind as soon as he touched the cloth. "Sir, I have never heard of these cloth materials before, but they are indeed warmer than linen when used to make clothes."

"Are you sure you can make clothes?"

Liang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "These cloths given by the immortals are great for making clothes! They are warmer and more comfortable than the cloths we used before."

"In that case, you can take the embroiderers to make clothes for the soldiers at the border. If there is any extra fabric, you can also make some for the migrant workers... whatever you can save, the better."

When Liang heard that he could help, he happily accepted the order.

Just as Liangzheng was about to leave, Prince Fusu suddenly stopped her, turned around and took out a piece of silk, "By the way, help me make this silk into a women's style."

He handed her the silk and a few Qin Banliang coins.

Liang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Master Fusu's clothes. They were indeed a style from a long time ago. But why did the master make women's clothes?

She asked puzzledly, "What style and size do you want, sir?"

"Let's make it according to the size of the immortal's statue." Prince Fusu paused and continued, "The style... there is a lotus flower embroidered on it."

Liang then understood that it was made for the immortal.

After arranging the cloth, Prince Fusu walked to the table and spread out a roll of paper.

The process of chatting with the immortal these days emerged in my mind.

He actually felt that the immortal was like a teacher and a friend to him.

When he came to his senses, there was already a portrait of an immortal on the paper.

In the portrait, the immortal wears a hibiscus hairpin, walks on the wind, holds a precious mirror in his hand, and smiles sweetly.

Prince Fusu stared at the finished portrait in a daze, and it took him a long time to roll up the immortal's portrait.

When Li Rongrong came out of the auction house, it was already time for dinner.

She had only taken two steps when she saw a familiar figure near the garage.

She looked carefully and found that it was Lu Jingzhou!

He was standing behind the car, looking furtive, as if avoiding someone's sight.

Li Rongrong looked at him curiously, wondering in her heart: "What is this, Senior Brother?"

Just as she was about to step forward to ask, Lu Jingzhou suddenly raised his head and his eyes met hers.

In an instant, the expression on his face became serious and solemn, as if the sneaky person just now was not him.

Li Rongrong couldn't help feeling a little confused, but still walked towards him.

When I got closer, I found that he was wearing a neat suit today, looking particularly formal.

Li Rongrong was a little surprised.

What's surprising is not that he is dressed like this.

Instead, I was wondering how he could wear a suit so stealthily!

"Brother, why are you here?"

Lu Jingzhou looked at her, coughed lightly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly teasing smile: "Of course I came here to meet my junior high school sister!"

Li Rongrong rolled her eyes at his provocative expression and said, "Come on, don't try that. I saw you sneaking around just now, so tell the truth. Are you dating someone else?"

Lu Jingzhou didn't expect that his little trick would be discovered so quickly. He was a little angry and walked quickly to her side, lowering his voice and said, "Junior sister, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Rongrong nodded with a half-smile and continued to ask: "Oh~ So is it or is it not?"

Lu Jingzhou sighed helplessly and had to admit: "Well, it is a little bit. But things are not what you think..."

Li Rongrong smiled triumphantly, her face filled with the joy of a winner: "Okay, I get it, you are on a date."

Lu Jingzhou's eyes widened, he pointed at her and said, "You are deliberately trying to trick me!"

"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you. Let me treat you to a meal and tell you later!"

As he said that, Lu Jingzhou opened the car door and looked like he was inviting her to get in.

Li Rongrong happened to have something to say to him, so she didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

**In a couple's restaurant**

Li Rongrong and Lu Jingzhou sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

She also didn't expect that Lu Jingzhou would actually bring her to a couple's restaurant.

She gestured around with her eyes, "Brother, look at this atmosphere..."

"There's nothing I can do. I've already paid the deposit and it can't be refunded." Lu Jingzhou shrugged, looking like he didn't want to waste anything.

Thinking of her senior brother's usual stinginess, she was silent for a moment.

It’s understandable, after all, my senior brother is well-known for loving money and being stingy.

"Brother, what's going on? Confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be treated severely!"

Lu Jingzhou took a deep breath and decided to confess: "Actually, I came here for a blind date today! But I found out that the person opposite me was Bai Xiaoke."

There was a trace of helplessness and embarrassment on his face, as if he was caught off guard by this unexpected situation.

"That's why I was so sneaky and didn't want her to find out."

Lu Jingzhou explained, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

He knew that what he did might seem strange to others, but faced with this sudden coincidence, he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

"Bai Xiaoke..." Li Rongrong looked at Lu Jingzhou suspiciously, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion, as if she was just eating melons.

Bai Xiaoke is their college classmate.

She and Bai Xiaoke met in a club. Although they were not in the same major, they gradually became good friends because they participated in various club activities together.
