"How do you calculate the commission?"

"Based on the final selling price, our store will charge 10% of the selling price," the clerk said with a smile, "Girl, you can show the painting to the shopkeeper in our store, and he will set a reasonable price for you."

"Can't you set your own price?"

"Yes," the clerk said tactfully, "but I advise the girl to let our shopkeeper set the price. The price he sets is usually the most reasonable."

Li Baolu smiled, opened the two wooden boxes in her bosom, took out the framed painting and handed it to him, said with a smile, "I'll set the price myself, and if I can't sell it in ten days, I'll come back and get it back."

The guy opened it to look at the paintings. He has worked in Gufangzhai for many years, and he still has a good eye. There was a light in his eyes, and he exclaimed: "The two paintings of the girl are very good. I have never seen the inscription on the bottom. I don't know what the girl wants. What price do you want to set?"

The signatures of the two paintings, Gu Jingyun, arrogantly affixed his name, not humble at all. It was the first time he sold his own paintings, and of course no one knew about them.

"This is my husband's painting. This picture of Qiongzhou's sunrise is priced at one hundred thousand taels, and this picture of immortals sailing to sea is priced at one thousand taels."

The clerk was stunned for a while, and then blushed for a while and said embarrassedly: "Girl, my little one was distracted just now, how about the price?"

Shun Xin on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Baolu also put on a half-smile, and said, "This picture of Qiongzhou's sunrise is priced at one hundred thousand taels, and this picture of immortals going to sea is priced at one thousand taels."

The buddy was sure that he had heard correctly. He opened his mouth wide and stammered after a while: "Girl, no, ma'am, it's impossible to sell this painting at such a price..."

"It's okay," Li Baolu said with a smile, "I'll pay the storage fee after ten days if it can't be sold."

The clerk pursed his lips, not sure if Li Baolu was playing tricks on them, but door-to-door business is business, there is no reason to drive customers out.

The clerk signed the contract with Li Baolu carefully, and after careful consideration, he went to the backyard to ask the shopkeeper to have a look before he came down to sign the contract with Li Baolu.

He collected these two paintings. If they can be sold, the commission will be counted as his share. If they can't be sold, the storage fee recovered will naturally be all the store's.

So the buddy is the one who most hopes to sell these consigned paintings, because the commission for just one painting may be higher than their monthly salary.

It's a pity that this kind of consignment paintings are difficult to sell unless they are famous artists.

As for the paintings of famous artists, he is not eligible for income. Most of them are directly purchased by the owner and then resold or signed by the shopkeeper.

The clerk carefully hung the two extremely expensive paintings on the wall. He will take care of the two paintings within ten days. He can't afford to pay for it.

Too fucking expensive.

Seeing that the paintings were hung up, Li Baolu left leisurely. Before she left, she gently reminded the staff, "You can make a card and hang it under the paintings to mark the prices of these two paintings, so as not to be scolded after being asked the price." .”

The buddy thinks this is a good idea. Most of the paintings on the side are about one hundred taels, and the most expensive one is three hundred and eighty taels. The price difference between these two paintings is too big. Isn't such a high price annoying?

But it would be different if the price was marked in advance. Those who could afford it would buy it, and those who couldn't afford it would just enjoy watching it. As long as he survived ten days and returned the two paintings, his responsibility would be fulfilled.

The guy was very happy, and carefully made two playing cards and hung them under the two paintings.

Li Baolu was even more satisfied after seeing her, and took Shun Xin to the vegetable market, "Today we accomplished a big event, let's buy some more vegetables and go back to celebrate."

Say it when you feel hungry, don't make excuses.

Li Baolu excitedly ran to the vegetable market to buy a lot of things, planning to cook with the cook at night, sometimes she still likes to cook.

The two of them walked back carrying several baskets, and when they entered the alley, they saw people surrounding the house.

Li Baolu's face darkened, and he strode forward.

The smile on Shun Xin's face also disappeared, and she tried to dissuade Li Baolu in a low voice, "Madam, let's call for someone first, there are too many of them."

"Only nine, is that a lot?" Li Baolu strode forward past him.

Shun Xin was taken aback, thinking that Li Baolu had knocked down a dozen big men that day, she instantly lifted her spirits, and chased after Li Baolu to block her, "Hey, who are you and what do you want to do?"

Although Madam's force is outrageous, he should do this kind of yelling.

Yuan Zheng had also seen Li Baolu a long time ago. He stood motionless in front of the door with a serious face waiting for her to approach, and when she arrived, he frowned and looked her up and down majestically, and asked coercively: " Are you Gu Lishi?"

Li Baolu glanced at Yuan Zheng and frowned, "Who are you and what are you doing at my door?"

"Bold, why didn't you answer Master Yuan's question to you? Are you Gu Li?" A person behind Yuan Zheng stepped forward and glared at him.

Li Baolu's face was full of surprise, "Oh, this... strong man is so angry, forgive me for my poor eyesight, I can't see that you are from the government. I don't know what position this old master Yuan holds. Why do you want me?"

Some neighbors quietly opened the door to look out, and some directly climbed on the wall to peep outside.

Yuan Zheng deliberately put on this posture to scare her, but he didn't expect to scare her, but made him show timidity. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you Gu Li?"

Li Baolu's smiling face suddenly sank, and he looked at him solemnly and said, "Doesn't this master know that when asking someone's name, don't you first report your own name and history? If you are here to find fault, explain it as soon as possible." , so I can send people to the yamen to call the officials. In the bright world, do you want to bully me, a weak woman?"

The neighbors who peeped through the cracks of the door opened the door a little bit, and some bold ones directly opened the door and stood up to look at Yuan Zheng and the others with piercing eyes, as if they would run to report to the police as soon as they made a move.

Yuan Zheng took a deep breath, knowing that it would be difficult to suppress Li Baolu, he said with a gloomy face, "I'm an official from the government office, and I'm here to ask you to settle the case."

"Officials in the government office?" Li Baolu looked at them suspiciously, "Then what's your name, why don't you wear official uniforms if you have any position in the government office?"

"Are you able to ask these words? If you are told to make a bet, then make a bet." Yuan Zheng's dog-leg stepped forward, snapped out a pen and paper, stared at her wide-eyed and said, "Hurry up and make a bet! "

Li Baolu took a step back, put her hands behind her back, and said with a frown, "You hide your heads and show your tail, don't wear official uniforms, and don't dare to report your names and official positions. Who knows if you are impostors? Who knows what you will do when you take the things I drew and pledged?" What a bad thing, what if you sell me and defraud my family of all the money?"

Speaking of this, Li Baolu looked at them in fear and said: "Before leaving the house, my mother-in-law often told me that there are many good people outside, but there are also many bad people. You can't hurt people's hearts, but you can't be defenseless. You, you don't Could it be the bad guy my mother-in-law said?"

The yamen servants who came with Yuan Zheng almost vomited blood. If they had taken her away a long time ago, would they still stand guard in front of the door and wait for her to be arrested?

But the surrounding neighbors obviously didn't know, they opened their doors one after another, and surrounded them vaguely.

Another human said: "Isn't the old Zhang's family working as a head catcher in the government office? We all know the catchers there, and we have never seen these few."

Of course they have never done it, and they are not responsible for maintaining social order. They are subordinates of Ou Tongpan and have their own work area.

The yamen servants all looked at Yuan Zheng, waiting for his decision. He was the one who asked them to take off their official uniforms and put them on casual clothes.

Yuan Zheng slightly squinted his eyes and looked at Li Baolu, seeing that although she showed fear on her face, her eyes were calm, obviously she was pretending.

Surrounded by nine adult men, she is so indifferent. Does this mean that she is sure that her force value can overcome everything?

Yuan Zheng's eyes moved. If there was a conflict between the two sides and she injured the yamen servant, that would be an injury to an official, and she could be sentenced...

"I am an aide of Ou Tongjuan, and I was ordered to collect the documents for closing the case. Li Shi, you'd better close the case immediately. We still have a lot of things to do, so don't delay here." He led the person forward two steps, Pressing close to Li Baolu.

But Li Baolu jumped back with her chest in her arms, stared at them warily and said, "Staff? Isn't that still a commoner like me? No official uniform, no identity certificate, who knows if you are? Also, don't you Being so close, even though the little girl is married, there is a difference between a man and a woman, so I ask this uncle to respect himself."

The person behind Yuan Zheng was extremely irritable, so he just took a case closing document, so much nonsense, he directly took a picture of his waist card and said: "This is the proof, hurry up and make a bet, Mr. Yuan is not qualified to be an aide, I always have Are you qualified?"

Li Baolu took a look at the waist card, and said with a sigh of relief: "Although the little girl can't understand it, it seems to be true."

The yamen servants vomited blood, which was true.

"But I can't sign this closing document." Li Baolu returned the badge carefully, and sighed to the stunned people: "I'm a woman, I don't know what kind of case is not closed, it's better to wait for my husband to come back and then decide." Bar."

Yuan Zheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Are you going to disobey the imperial court's order?"

Li Baolu hesitated and said: "The imperial court still cares whether I close the case or not? Doesn't it mean that the emperor and all the officials know about me, little girl?"

These surrounding neighbors couldn't help laughing, and said to Li Baolu with a smile: "Young lady's thinking is too beautiful, how can the emperor take care of such trivial things as you?"

Li Baolu bowed her head and smiled embarrassedly, "But that's what this master said, so I misunderstood. I said, I remember my husband said that if the people are not satisfied with the civil judgment, they can continue to appeal. Those who neither pledge nor appeal within ten days will be deemed to have agreed to close the case, why did you uncles come to my house to force me to pledge, could there be some inside story here?"

Everyone also looked at Yuan Zheng suspiciously.

Yuan Zheng looked at Li Baolu with a serious face and said, "Mr. Li, your case was judged by the magistrate himself. Don't you think the magistrate is covering up for personal gain? It's just a personal grievance. You were neither injured nor lost property. The defendant not only You were beaten and fined, why are you still dissatisfied, and you still refuse to sign the case papers?"

He said with a serious face: "Now is the important moment for the imperial court to inspect and deliver the documents. These things must be brought to the case immediately. Because of your case, our entire government will be delayed. Do you know how much time and energy it will consume? "
