“This is the second young master of the Xie family. I have heard that the second young master of the Xie family is good-looking and has extraordinary temperament. When I saw him today, it was true.”
“Haha. I don’t know, this second young master of the Xie family is not only good-looking, but also has good calligraphy and painting skills. In the past, many celebrities and powerful people came to the door just to get a calligraphy and painting for the second young master of the Xie family.”
“Not only. In addition to his superb calligraphy and painting skills, the second young master of the Xie family is also extremely exquisite in equestrian skills. He is really a rare all-round talent.”
Since some people present had never seen Xie Fang, they naturally had seen him. Guests who had never had the second young master of the Xie family before were surprised and sighed when they heard about the legendary deeds of the second young master of the Xie family.
Some people were puzzled by this, “Since that’s the case, why have I never seen this second son of the Xie family in the past few months?”
“I know this. After visiting Fucheng, the Second Young Master thought Fucheng was a livable place, so he moved to Fucheng. This time, it should be to celebrate Mr. Xie’s birthday.”
“So that’s it.”
“That’s right, I also heard that the Second Young Master seemed to be the North Cheng that I had just returned yesterday, because a friend of mine saw the Second Young Master at the train station yesterday. By the way, this exhibition was the head of the Third Young Master. I came to see the Third Young Master. I just came back to see the Third Young Master. As expected, my brotherly love was deep.”
The discussions from the people around him came into Xie Chaohui’s ears, and Xie Chaohui was very happy after hearing this.
Last night, he originally wanted to wait for dinner to go to his second brother’s yard.
As a result, when he went to his second brother’s yard, the lights in his second brother’s yard had already turned off early. When he asked Fulu, the reply he received was that the second brother was exhausted, so he stopped shortly after he came back, so he had to go back first.
Yesterday, my elder brother reminded him not to get along with my second brother because he hadn’t seen him in the past year, and he also had such concerns.
Thinking about it now, I must be too tired yesterday. Otherwise, just like the guest said just now, I came back yesterday and I will see the art exhibition he held today.
The reason why I didn’t tell him in advance was to give him a surprise!
Thinking of this, Xie Zhaohui was in a good mood.
He asked happily, “I have taken a fancy to any painting, but I’ll buy it for you.”
Before Xie Fang answered, Yue Shenghui, who was standing by, smiled and said, “The so-called listener has a share. I don’t know if Sheng Hui has such honor. I dare not be shameless, so I also asked Brother Richi to give me a painting. As for me, I hope that if Nan Qing really likes which painting, can I be an intermediary and ask the painter for the price so that I can get a prize.”
Usually, if buyers like that painting, few buyers will talk directly with the painter. First, people who buy paintings like a certain work, but may not understand the market and are worried that they will fall into the pit. Second, especiallyA painter without a reputation also needs an intermediary who knows how to draw to say a suitable price.
After all, paintings are not as good as ordinary products. If a painter bargained with the buyer for a painting, it would often appear to be priced, and some more arrogant painters would not bother this.
In this way, an intermediary is particularly important as a bridge between the painter and the buyer.
The middleman is naturally not doing idle work, and he usually gets a certain commission, which is the so-called “colored head.”
During the time when Xie Fang was not in the North City, Xie Chaohui often went to and from these calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and was quite familiar with Yue Shenghui. He naturally heard the so-called “colored head” meaning, and said half-truely: “Brother Shenghui, you really don’t miss the opportunity to earn commission at all. Sure! Who made me happy today?
No matter which painting my second brother looked at, you will talk to the painter.”
“In this way, I thank Brother Jiujichi first.” Yue Shenghui bowed happily and bowed with both hands.
Turning his head, he said to Xie Fangyi in a joking tone: “Nan Qing, whether I can get a lottery today depends on you.”
After that, he approached Xie Fang and added, “When you look back, you will get a commission. Please go to Wangxian Tower. We will not return drunk.”
It seems that the intention is not in the commission, but it is really just to get a lottery.
