Chapter 100 Before Studio Exhibition
Shen You knew that in this little time tonight, it would be impossible to study very well, not even to scratch the surface.
But the few hours of experience here were enough for her to go back and think about it for a long time, and she could come back again if she had the chance.
Half an hour before curfew, she and Wen Zhide left.
Wen Zhilian could get in even after the palace door was locked, and it was impossible for him to care about the curfew, but the craftsmen here had to go home in a hurry.
At this time, except for Lefang Street, the only sound left on the road was the wind blowing and the rustling of tree branches.
The wind made her face hurt. She sat in the carriage and felt the warm fragrance lingering. Shen You was a night owl playing games and watching videos this evening, but she was still very energetic at this point.
He took out his cell phone and quickly jotted down the traditional skills he saw today in his 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 want has been packed." He glanced at the food box.
It was so quiet in the carriage, there was only a little sound of wheels rolling across the ground, and it seemed like you could even hear the breathing of the people next to you.
Shen You glanced sideways, and the swaying light in the lantern brought their shadows very close,
When they looked at each other, she saw her own reflection in Wen Zhi's eyes, and her mind 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 silver reward, so they wouldn't ask me for a bowl."
Carriage to Qingshi Lane.
When Shen You reached out to take the food box, she inadvertently brushed the back of his hand. The warm touch was particularly obvious in the cold air.
The body temperature that was not her own remained between her fingers, as if soaking into her finger bones and not dissipating for a long time.
Shen You looked away, held the food box tightly, said goodbye, turned around and walked quickly into the shop.
Behind him, a man with a lazy and noble attitude stood in the night. He didn't turn around and get into the carriage until he saw her pushing the door open and entering.
Shen You breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she entered the door. She didn't know what was going on with the helpless feeling just now.
Quietness had returned to the alley. She carefully locked the door, returned to the house, finished the packed midnight snack, took out all the things she bought today, and sorted them one by one.
The next day.
Shen You put what he had learned into practice. At his workbench, he chanted 80 with a big hammer and 60 with a small hammer, and struck the gold pieces.
Liu Zheng came to the shop at the appointed time. His people were already familiar with transporting goods.
The cart made several trips back and forth, transporting all the things out of Qingshi Lane in an orderly manner.
Liu Zheng brought the ledger and settled the income of the past three days with Shen You.
Shen You didn't check the account book carefully, but only looked at the numbers, counted and accepted one thousand two hundred taels of gold and two hundred 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 Shopkeeper Shen down!"
Shen You smiled and nodded. After he left, he closed the store and drove out.
Tomorrow is the studio's first exhibition. She has to get up at about five o'clock. Shen You plans to go there overnight to set up the exhibition and stay in the hotel there directly.
I dragged the empty suitcase to Xiyuan and took everything out in a room without surveillance.
Porcelain vases and potted bamboo from the flower and bird market in the morning were placed.
Fan, hang pictures on the wall.
After putting things on the last shelf of the museum shelf, Shen You retreated to the door and took a look. There was no problem. It was done.
The lanterns used for decoration in the studio were all brought back from Daqi.
Even in front of those big players who will come tomorrow, they will not be unable to use it.
I'm a little nervous and looking forward to it. After all, it's my first time to hold an exhibition by myself. I'm always worried that I'll make some omissions and make a joke in the circle. After finishing the work, it was almost 12 o'clock, Shen You closed the door and went to the hotel.
After I packed up and went to bed, I just closed my eyes and the radar alarm clock started ringing.
People are confused and their eyelids are very heavy.
Put on a kesi pleated skirt that has been ironed in advance, layered with a solid-color silk blouse and a brocade.
It comes with a natural pearl hairpin and a Hetian jade bracelet.
Shen You's makeup skills are really average. She didn't want to do it herself so early in the morning. She made an appointment with a makeup artist yesterday.
According to her requirements, it was bright, natural, and the skills of a four-figure makeup artist could not be exceeded. Even she was pleasantly surprised after the makeup was done.
It’s half past six, it’s still dark, and the hotel’s breakfast buffet has just started.
Four people from the studio agreed to meet here.
The seat was chosen by the floor-to-ceiling window. Shen You went to drink a cup of espresso to relieve his sleepiness, and then started to choose what he wanted to eat.
In addition to the good environment of this hotel, the breakfast is also very delicious, including Soviet-style noodles and Cantonese-style morning tea.
"You feel like a studio leader in the industry today."
Gu Shaoyu sat down with the plate and looked at Shen You for a few seconds. He was really amazed.
When I saw her some time ago, she looked gray and gray, wearing gray overalls and working with tools. Her delicate white hands seemed a bit out of place.
Shen You smiled and didn't take Gu Shaoyu's words seriously, "It's still far from enough."
There are still some things that need to be arranged and followed up in the morning.
The exhibition officially starts at nine o'clock in the morning, and security and reception must be in place in advance.
"I confirmed with them yesterday that I will come at 7 o'clock."
Gu Shaoyu glanced at the message on his phone, "There are also the Chinese flowers you asked for. They will be delivered soon. I didn't expect you can even arrange flowers."
"No." Shen You said frankly, "As long as it looks good to you, the important thing is the vase."
Gu Shaoyu: Sure enough, sincerity is the ultimate skill
Breakfast is not finished yet.
Shen You suddenly received a call from Fu Xicheng and Hua Yun. They arrived in Jiangcheng at midnight last night, so they didn't bother her to rest.
Now he said he was coming to give her a surprise. It happened to be a coincidence that the hotel they were staying in happened to be the same one.
There was a vague suspicion about the surprise they were talking about. Shen You quickly finished the rest of the food and said, "I'll go over and say hello, you guys."
Before he finished speaking, he discovered that the remaining three people were equally fast.
I heard that it was someone who came from Master Jiang's studio in Didu. Everyone made some guesses and ate as fast as they could.
Especially Yu Xiaosu and Cheng Liang, Master Jiang's direct disciples, needless to say the weight of what they brought.
Several people saw Fu Xicheng and Hua Yun in the suite where Shen You stayed last night, as well as a beautifully packaged box.
"I heard that your studio is going to hold an exhibition. The teacher worked hard for two days and finally made this dress."
Fu Xicheng explained to Shen You, "However, he had something to do and couldn't come, so the two of us came to Jiangcheng with the things."
This thing is too precious and cannot be mailed. You can rest assured if you bring it in person.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Shen You thanked her sincerely, took the box, and opened it slowly with excitement.
There was a neatly folded narrow-sleeved shirt and an exquisite handbag in the brocade box.
The floating luster in the white material is like the shimmering light of the cold moonlight on the water, immediately occupying the focus of attention.
