It was Saturday, and neither of them had to go to school.

After breakfast, Liming Yue sat on the wicker chair on the balcony and began to read English.

Shen Yanbing was surprised, "Where did you learn?"

"The teachers in the Academy of Fine Arts always say that you need to master a foreign language to go to the world." Liming Yue stopped, "You have downloaded English software to the tablet before, and I reinstalled it on the phone."

Shen Yanbing: "...great."

Shen Yanbing, who was sitting in front of the coffee table, couldn't help but keep an ear of attention to the balcony.

I have to say that the self-learning ability of Her Royal Highness is terrible.

American English imitates quite a lot of charm, the volume is not loud but it is very clear, starting from the most basic words and letters, slowly reading short sentences and phrases, repeating without being impatient.

Half an hour later, Limingyue only came in to add a glass of water.

This made Shen Yanbing, who was out of business early in the morning, a little ashamed, got up and went back to the study.

She read the information for a while, and received news from the editor of the publishing house at around nine o'clock, asking her to make an appointment with a historical and literary commentary.

Shen Yanbing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by the other party's request.

—Her essay faction disturbance will not spread to this.

"If you are willing to write a few more articles, our publishing house can produce a collection of pushes."

This publishing house is quite well-known in the industry and has a very good reputation. It is almost a vane-like existence. The books that it promotes every year have basically become the hottest items of the year.

Although Shen Yanbing has always been happily working with them and has opened a column to post regularly, he did not expect to suddenly receive such preferential treatment.

-She is not a big player in the industry, let alone a celebrity writer. There is no need for a publishing house with absolute voice to praise her like this.

Shen Yanbing searched his first few historical biographies on the Internet, only to find that the discussion was extremely high, far exceeding the column articles of other authors.

She knocked the edge of the table thoughtfully.

Shen Yanbing did not let the editor-in-chief of the publishing house wait too long, and quickly agreed.

Having been thinking about searching for information until noon, Shen Yanbing left the study, and Liming Yue sat at the desk to practice calligraphy with a serious look.

She approached, and when she saw the study, she couldn't help but smile, "Is the unburdened paper at home going to run out?"

Limingyue nodded, picked up a pen and practiced small letters neatly around the big characters, "There are no more announcements."

Sheng Xuanji tests the skills of calligraphers. Shen Yanbing didn't have much in his family. The more he bought after Liming Moon came was the rough edges of Xi's role.

Shen Yanbing saw that Liming Yue stretched his pen and dipped the ink. The small white porcelain dish had been dyed black, and no white could show through. Liming Yue started writing after dipping the ink and was not satisfied, so he had to take water into the plate to adjust the concentration. The dish is extremely inconvenient.

Liming Yue didn't even mention it.

"When I go to buy stones later, let's pick a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Shen Yanbing said.

Limingyue looked up, "Just buy paper."

"If you want to go to the exhibition, naturally you have to prepare a set of higher grades, so that you can play better." Shen Yanbing insisted, not embarrassed to say that she bought these at the level of a beginner.

Liming Yue hesitated, "These are all expensive."

She saved some money, but she was still far away from the price of the four treasures of high-quality study that she remembered.

"Not bad." Shen Yanbing replied.

In the age of industrialization, the price of pen, ink, paper and inkstone has long been out of the old age, but the high-end ones have collection value, and the prices are still amazing.

She has a collection of extremely valuable inkstones in her family, and has never been willing to auction it.

Seeing Limingyue's face showing embarrassment, Shen Yanbing smiled and said, "When I give you your golden gift."

Liming Yue did not react: "What gold award?"

"Congratulations on the exhibition at Binda Academy of Fine Arts!" Shen Yanbing showed her the list of mobile phones. "The list came out this morning. You are the first place in the gold award. You will definitely be in the best position next week."

Limingyue was surprised. Although she was confident of her own level, her modern aesthetics were not as good as Jing Chao, and she was not so sure of being recognized and appreciated by modern people.

—This is the first gold award she won.

Although the gold content is not high, there is only a simple certificate of merit, but it means nothing to her.

In the afternoon, after eating the takeaway, Shen Yanbing drove out with Limingyue.

Wenyantang is an old store in Shacheng, and several branches have been opened in recent years, including Bincheng.

The shopkeeper of Wenyantang in Bincheng is Shen Yanbing's acquaintance in Shacheng. After being transferred here, the two had an appointment, but Shen Yanbing almost completely put aside this interest after work, and the relationship is not as close as before.

Turning around, Shen Yanbing stopped the car early, buckled Limingyue's sun hat, and walked into the alley.

The shop is usually very idle, and the clerk is not very attentive. Seeing someone shouting "Welcome", he continued to play with his mobile phone.

Limingyue was attracted by the pen and ink decorations on the wall. There were wolf pens on the white porcelain frame and a row of inkstone ingots, which was full of elegance.

Unlike the supermarkets that Limingyue often goes to, these items are not priced, and she can't help but frown.

Shen Yanbing believed her vision, let her be confident and bold.

"But..." Liming Yue stopped talking. According to her eyes, these are all valuable—Shen Yanbing is just a teacher, or a teacher who is being "refuted".

The caring and sensible princess looked away from the beautifully textured end inkstone, and pointed to the inkstone that was obviously out of the new hole. "Look at this."

Shen Yanbing raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Limingyue nodded, and the clerk looking at the mobile phone looked up, sneered silently, and walked over to take out the inkstone.

Liming Yue weighed it, lighter than expected, and lost his taste.

"How?" Shen Yanbing laughed and teased her, she could tell her appearance at a glance without asking.

After all these years, not to mention the calligraphy skills, the level of anti-authentic authentication is getting longer and longer, and the only thing that can fool her is probably the collection level.

Limingyue hesitated not to speak, the clerk immediately boasted about the inkstone, "You touch it, it's delicate and smooth, and the ink is fast! And it won't hurt the pen..."

Shen Yanbing looked at it with a smile, "Where is your boss?"

The clerk suddenly laughed, "How can our boss stay here all the time? Just tell me if you have any questions."

As he was talking, the shopkeeper came out from the back room and saw Shen Yanbing striding forward with the meteor, "Oh, it's coming!"

The clerk's smile cracked slightly.

Shen Yanbing smiled and shook the palm of the other party's outstretched hand, and greeted: "When I first arrived, the place is getting harder and harder to find."

"You said it early, I saw you WeChat now." The shopkeeper is a good-looking person. He had a lot of dealings with Mr. Zheng when he was in Shacheng, and his reputation is quite good among calligraphers and painters.

He saw Liming Yue who was on the inkstone platform, and smiled, "Miss Shen's friend?"

Limingyue nodded, and the shopkeeper knew what was going on as soon as he looked at the counter, scolded the clerk, and just hurriedly asked people to take out the inkstone inside, "There are still good She inkstones and Tao inkstones in the store. Which girl do you like?"

Limingyue looked at Shen Yanbing, looking embarrassed: "Which one do you think is better?"

Shen Yanbing obviously didn't understand the princess's painstaking efforts, and smiled: "We will pick whichever you like."

Liming Yue couldn't bear it, "Then take the inkstone."

She has been fond of that piece for a long time. It is simple and exquisite, with heavy texture, not exaggerated in carving, and very similar in shape to the piece she often used in Jing Dynasty.

-She can't imagine its price. In the Jing Dynasty, Duan Yan was already comparable to emerald gold.

Shen Yanbing looked relaxed.

She stroked the texture of the inkstone carefully and smiled: "It's really ice."

Liming Yue understood the meaning of the other party's words inexplicably. She was worried, but now she also laughed.

What is more important than the inkstone is the brush and the publicity. When the shopkeeper heard that he wanted to participate in the exhibition, he paid more attention to it and took out a lot of brushes.

After undergoing the baptism of ordinary artificial writing brushes during this period, Liming Yue quickly picked the one he liked, and the shopkeeper was embarrassed by his not-so-critical appearance, "The writing brush, like a girlfriend, must be treated with the most serious attitude! "

Liming Yue opened her eyes slightly, "?"

The shopkeeper continued: "There are a few very good pen workers in Shacheng, and many calligraphers have asked them to make custom pens. Ms. Shen should have been in contact with..."

"Indeed." Shen Yanbing nodded and looked at Limingyue with a smile. "Look at the timing. It's not so mysterious, but it's worth entering."

Finally, under the conscientious recommendation of the shopkeeper, the stones, raw materials and ink ingots were quickly purchased, packaged in a gift box, and left after swiping the card.

Limingyue carried things behind Shen Yanbing and asked, "How much did it cost?"

After the two were together, Her Royal Highness became more concerned about money issues, and from time to time she struck up the abacus in her heart to plan for the future.

She knows that in modern society, the most important thing is economy.

Shen Yanbing really didn't know the other party's careful thoughts, "Guess?"

Limingyue frowned, with a fluke mentality, and deliberately reported lower: "One thousand?"

Shen Yanbing shook his head amusedly, "Guess again."

"...Five thousand?" Liming Yue held her breath, her voice trembling slightly, which was almost the total cost of her months after she came to this world.

Shen Yanbing finally paused, perceiving the other's subtle emotions, and chuckled, "What are you thinking?"

Limingyue seemed to have got the answer, her expression bleak, "We have to save money."

Shen Yanbing understood the other party's meaning in an instant, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart, funny and sad, Liming Yue also worried during summer vacation, she thought that the other party had put it down after explaining it at the time, but she didn't want to but remembered it more deeply.

Her Royal Highness was more insecure than she thought.

Shen Yanbing looked at her seriously, "You don't need to care about this now, I said it's okay, but there is no problem."

Liming Yue pursed her lips, "We also have to consider future risks."

"That's okay." Shen Yanbing suddenly smiled, walked to the front of the car and opened the door, put the things in the back seat, and turned around to see Limingyue still frowning.

"I read the news. There are a lot of people who are suddenly unemployed and suddenly bankrupt." Liming Yue sat in the passenger seat, "You are still trading in stocks. Everyone says it's very unsafe."

Shen Yanbing was really surprised, "How do you know?"

"It is said on the Internet that greed is unacceptable." Liming Yuetou leaned against the car window, "I will work hard to make money. Don't play such dangerous things."

Shen Yanbing burst into laughter, which made Limingyue unhappy, so she had to look upright and let the princess relax, "Don't play."

Limingyue: "Even if you run out of money, I won't leave you."

Shen Yanbing was startled, then smiled: "Okay."

She didn't expect Liming Yue to think so much.

Shen Yanbing has her own set of financial management ideas, and the freedom of wealth has not been far away, but she is usually frugal and unassuming, and people around them can't see much.

Even the princess, who gets along day and night, thinks she is an ordinary hitman.

This made Shen Yanbing think she was so cute, and he wanted to touch the little princess' head.

As the car drove slowly, Limingyue looked at the scenery shop outside the window and thought about the recent bills, finally remembering something, and asked: "So how much did you spend just now?"

Shen Yanbing glanced at her, tactfully, "It's rude to give you a gift and asking for the price."

Liming Yue looked at her faintly, "I want to return the gift too."

"Writing is fine." The corners of Shen Yanbing's lips curled up slightly, his profile was almost perfect, and Liming Yue suddenly missed a beat when he saw his heartbeat.

—She wants to paint Shen Yanbing.

The author has something to say: Regarding the fact that my girlfriend always thinks I am very poor—

Limingyue: I will work hard to make money, even if you run out of money, it doesn't matter.

Shen Yanbing: Okay (smile
