Chapter 7 Buying Paintings

   A black Bentley was parked not far from the alley. The man sitting in the back seat was handsome and enchanting, with exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, which can only be described by the words "peerless".

   "Master! Do you want to go in and have a look?" The driver asked looking at the man in the back seat.

  The man put his hand on the car door and was about to push it open, when he saw a slender figure coming out of the alley, a slight arc emerged from the corner of his mouth, watching the figure gradually go away, "Drive."

   "Yes!" The driver starts the car.

  Mu Xi came out of the alley, and felt a gaze staring at her, but she didn\'t feel the other party\'s malice, so she didn\'t care.

  Seeing Mu Xi coming back, Ye Ling stopped what she was doing and walked over. Seeing her pale face, her eyes were full of worry, "Xi\'er, why is your face so bad?"

   "Mom, I\'m fine. You don\'t have to worry. Maybe I didn\'t sleep well last night. I\'ll just go to sleep." Mu Xi reached out and hugged Ye Ling\'s arm, leaning his head on her shoulder with a smile.

  Mu Ling rubbed Mu Xi\'s short hair, with a spoiled expression on her face, "Go to sleep, mom will call you after cooking."

   "Yes." Mu Xi nodded, retracted his hand and walked towards the bedroom.

  Mu Sheng picked up a chess piece and put it on the board, and said slowly, "How about that trash?"

   "\'He\' was seriously injured and will lie down for at least two months."

  Mu Sheng nodded in satisfaction, and waved at his subordinates.

  The subordinates retreated respectfully.

   "Mu Xi, you can only be a waste in this life, and you can only be trampled under my feet, hahahaha" Mu Sheng laughed loudly, with a smug glint in his eyes.

  Ye Ling brought the food to the table and shouted to the room: "Xi\'er, it\'s time for dinner."

  Mu Xi withdrew from cultivation, "Here we come."

  Ye Lingsheng had a good meal, and saw Mu Xi coming out of the room, "Today, mom made your favorite fish head tofu soup, you should try it."

   "Yes." Mu Xi nodded, walked to the table and sat down.

   "Xi\'er, drink a bowl of soup first." Ye Ling spooned a bowl of soup and handed it to Mu Xi.

  Mu Xi took it, took a sip, and looked at Ye Ling with a smile, "Mom\'s soup is delicious." She was very happy to be able to live with her mother and eat her dishes.

   "Drink more if you like." Ye Ling smiled happily.

   "Okay." Mu Xi replied with a smile.

   "Xi\'er, did you help mom submit her resume?" Ye Ling thought about work.

   "Mom, why don\'t you open a beauty salon, I happen to have several formulas here." Mu Xi has already made plans, and she doesn\'t want her mother to work too hard.

Ye Ling was a little moved, but thought that opening a beauty salon would not require a little money, "Mom thinks your idea is very good, but we need a storefront and recruit people to open a beauty salon, which requires a lot of money. Get a job, let\'s talk about it when we have the money."

  Mu Xi swallowed the food in her mouth, "Leave the money to me, mom doesn\'t have to worry about it." She has already figured out how to make money.

  Seeing Mu Xi\'s confident face, Ye Ling didn\'t want to hit her, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay."

  The streets on weekends are much more lively than before.

  Mu Xi was walking on the street. She remembered hearing people say in her previous life that a middle-aged man picked up a painting on this street, and later that painting was sold by Mr. Qin from ten ancient families.

  Mu Xi stopped in front of a shop selling calligraphy and painting, looked at the name on the plaque, and walked in.

  The store owner saw that it was a little girl, so he looked away and continued playing the game.

  Mu Xi deliberately changed into women\'s clothing and a wig in order not to be recognized by others. Now her small face is clean and fair, her facial features are exquisite and beautiful, her peach blossom eyes reveal a hint of laziness and carelessness, and her temperament is unique and quiet.

  Looking around in the store, his eyes stopped on a very unremarkable painting. Mu Xi stepped forward, picked up the painting and looked at it carefully.

The boss looked up at Mu Xi, and asked casually, "Does the girl want to buy paintings?" He didn\'t hold out much hope, after all, the paintings in his shop are not cheap, how can a little girl buy them? afford it.

   "How much is this painting?" Mu Xi showed the painting in his hand to the boss.

The boss glanced at the painting, and almost didn\'t laugh, "If you want, I\'ll give you a discounted price, 3,000 yuan." The painting was given to him by a friend of his a while ago, and he said it was passed down from his grandfather. .

  He found someone to appraise it, and the painting was of no value at all. The painting was a copy of Han Huang\'s "Five Cows", but it was full of loopholes. Anyone who knew the painting could tell that it was not the real one. If it wasn\'t for a gift from a friend, he would have thrown it away long ago. He had it hanging in the corner all the time, but no one ever asked about the painting.

   "I want it." Mu Xi walked to the counter, took out a bank card and handed it to the boss.

  The boss was taken aback, "Do you really want to buy this painting?" Although this painting is quite old, it is worthless at all, let alone five thousand, even five hundred is expensive.

   "Yes." Mu Xi finished the scroll and waited for the boss to pay the bill.

   "The paintings I sell here are not refundable or exchangeable." The boss saw Mu Xi nodded and took the bank card.

  Mu Xi took back the bank card and drew a shop with it. She is going to Qin\'s house to sell this painting to Mr. Qin now.

   "I don\'t know whose child it is, I hope the parents don\'t come to the door." The boss looked away, shook his head, and continued to play games.

  Mu Xi came to Qin\'s house and said to one of the gatekeepers: "Please tell Mr. Qin that I have a painting to sell to him."

  The subordinates looked at Mu Xi, seeing that she had an elegant temperament, not like an ordinary person, "Wait a minute!" It is well known that Mr. Qin likes paintings, but of course the paintings must be valuable.

Mr. Qin was admiring an ancient painting that had just been photographed. When he heard his subordinates report that someone wanted to sell the painting to him, he immediately became interested and said, "Let her in." With his identity, he naturally doesn\'t have to worry about someone daring to sell him a fake painting , and with the status of the Qin family, no one would dare to deceive them.

  Mu Xi walked into the Qin family with the butler who came out with her subordinates. She had been to the Qin family several times when she was the young master of the Mu family, and she was no stranger to the Qin family.

  Come to an antique courtyard, here are some antique buildings, pavilions, rockery and lotus ponds, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, exuding a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel like they have traveled to ancient times.

  The housekeeper brought Mu Xi to the front of the study, knocked on the door lightly, "Master! Someone brought it here."

   "Come in!" An old and majestic voice sounded in the room.

  The housekeeper opened the door and led Mu Xi into the study.

  Mu Xi walked into the study, and immediately saw Mr. Qin who was sitting at the desk admiring the paintings.
