Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 100 Before the Studio Exhibition
Shen You knew that it was impossible to learn very well in such a short time tonight, not even the basics.

But the experience of a few hours here was enough for her to think about it for a long time. She would come back again if she had the chance in the future.

Half an hour before curfew, she and Wen Zhide left.

Wen Zhi could even enter the palace after the gates were locked, so he would never care about the curfew, but the craftsmen here had to hurry home.

At this time, outside, apart from Lefang Street, the only sound on the road was the rustling of tree branches caused by the wind.

The wind made my face hurt a little. I sat in the carriage, surrounded by warm fragrance. Shen You, a night owl who played games and watched videos at night, was still very energetic at this time.

I took out my cell phone and quickly wrote down the traditional skills I saw today in my memo.

The bright white light shone on her focused face. Wen Zhi was not a talkative person. He just waited quietly for her to finish her work.

"The food you ordered has been packed." He glanced at the food box.

It was so quiet in the carriage that the only sound I could hear was the wheels rolling over the ground. It seemed as if I could even hear the breathing of the people next to me.

Shen You turned her eyes to the side, and the swaying light from the lantern brought the two people's shadows very close.
As they looked at each other, she saw her own reflection in Wen Zhi's eyes, and her heart was inexplicably confused for a moment.

"Don't you need to take the bowl back?" Shen You quickly found a topic.

Wen Zhi chuckled, "I gave the restaurant a reward, so they won't ask me for a bowl."

Carriage to Bluestone Lane.

When Shen You reached out to take the lunch box, she inadvertently brushed the back of his hand. The warm touch was particularly obvious in the cold air.

The body temperature that remained between her fingers, which did not belong to her, seemed to have penetrated into her finger bones and lingered for a long time.

Shen You looked away, held the food box tightly, said goodbye, turned around and walked quickly into the shop.

Behind her, a man with a lazy and noble posture stood in the night. He didn't turn around and get into the carriage until he saw her push the door open.

Shen You breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she entered the door. She didn't know what happened to her feeling so helpless just now.

The alley had returned to peace. She carefully locked the door, returned to the house, ate her packed midnight snack, took out all the things she had bought today, and sorted them out one by one.

The next day.

Shen You put his knowledge into practice and at his workbench, he muttered "big hammer 80, small hammer 60" while hammering out gold sheets.

Liu Zheng arrived at the shop at the appointed time, and his men were already familiar with transporting goods.

The cart went back and forth several times, transporting all the things out of Qingshi Lane in an orderly manner.

Liu Zheng brought the account book and settled the profits of the past three days with Shen You.

Shen You did not check the account book carefully, but just looked at the numbers, counted and accepted the 1,200 taels of gold and 200 taels of silver.

One thousand taels of gold = ten thousand taels of silver.

Liu Zheng changed it specially before bringing it over.

"I can rest assured that you are doing things."

Hearing this, Liu Zheng was flattered and said happily: "I will definitely not let Manager Shen down!"

Shen You smiled and nodded. After he left, she closed the shop and drove out.

Tomorrow is the studio’s first exhibition, so we have to get up at five o’clock. Shen You plans to go there to set up the exhibit overnight and stay directly at the hotel there.

I dragged the empty box to Xiyuan and took out all the things in a room without surveillance.

Porcelain vases and potted bamboos bought from the flower and bird market in the morning were placed on the table.

Fans and paintings are hung on the wall.

After putting the things on the last shelf of the museum, Shen You retreated to the door, took a look, and found nothing wrong, so it was done.

The lanterns used for decoration in the studio were all brought back from Da Qi.

Even in front of the big shots coming tomorrow, I will be able to show off my skills.

I was a little nervous and excited. After all, it was my first time to organize an exhibition by myself. I was always worried that there would be some omissions and I would be laughed at in the circle. After finishing my work, it was almost 12 o'clock. Shen You closed the door and went to the hotel.

After I had tidied up and went to bed, I just closed my eyes and the radar alarm went off.

Everyone is confused and their eyelids are heavy.

She changed into a pre-ironed brocade pleated skirt, and layered it with a solid silk blouse and a brocade.

Paired with a natural pearl hairpin and a Hetian jade bracelet.

Shen You’s makeup skills are really average, and she didn’t want to do it herself early in the morning, so she made an appointment with a makeup artist yesterday.

According to her requirements, the makeup artist who spent four figures on makeup had a very good level of makeup. Even she was surprised when the makeup was done.

It was half past six, still dark, and the hotel's breakfast buffet had just begun.

Four people from the studio agreed to meet here.

The seat was chosen next to the floor-to-ceiling window. Shen You first drank a cup of strong American coffee to ease his sleepiness before starting to choose what he wanted to eat.

In addition to its great environment, this hotel also has delicious breakfast. The Suzhou-style noodles and Cantonese-style morning tea are both very authentic.

"You seem to be a big shot in the studio today."

Gu Shaoyu sat down with the plate in his hand and looked at Shen You for a few seconds. He was indeed amazed.

When I saw her some time ago, she was covered in dust, wearing gray work clothes, and working with tools. Her slender white hands seemed a little out of place.

Shen You smiled, but didn't take Gu Shaoyu's words seriously, "It's still a long way to go."

There are still some things that need to be arranged and followed up in the morning.

The exhibition officially begins at nine in the morning, so security and reception must be in place in advance.

"I confirmed with them yesterday. Come over at 7 o'clock."

Gu Shaoyu glanced at the message on his phone and said, "The Chinese flowers you requested will be delivered soon. I didn't expect you to be able to arrange flowers."

"No." Shen You said frankly, "As long as I think it's okay, the most important thing is that I'm just a vase."

Gu Shaoyu: Sincerity is the real killer
I haven't finished my breakfast yet.

Shen You suddenly received a call from Fu Xicheng and Hua Jun. They arrived in Jiangcheng at midnight yesterday, so they didn't want to disturb her rest.

Now he said he came to give her a surprise, and coincidentally, they were staying in the same hotel.

Shen You had a vague idea of ​​the surprise they were talking about, so he quickly finished the rest of his food and said, "I'll go over and say hello, you guys."

Before he could finish his words, he discovered that the remaining three people were just as fast.

When we heard that they were people from Master Jiang's studio in the capital, everyone made some guesses and ate quickly.

Especially Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang, who are Master Jiang’s direct disciples. Needless to say, the things they brought are of great significance.

A few people met Fu Xicheng and Hua Jun in the suite where Shen You stayed last night, along with a beautifully packaged box.

"I heard that your studio is going to hold an exhibition, so I worked hard for two days and finally made this dress."

Fu Xicheng explained to Shen You, "However, he couldn't come because of something, so the two of us came to Jiangcheng with the things."

This thing is too precious and must not be mailed. I would feel safer if I brought it in person.

"Sorry to trouble you."

Shen You thanked him sincerely, took the box, and slowly opened it with excitement.

In the brocade box was a neatly folded narrow-sleeved short shirt and an exquisite cloth handbag.

The floating luster in the white material is like the rippling light of cool moonlight sprinkled on the water, which immediately catches the attention.
