The eldest sister laughed after hearing this: "Haha, brother, you have guessed it."

"He just came to invite you to paint a portrait of his wife!"

"I told him that you went out today and were not at home. He said that he would come back tomorrow!"

Wang Yugui frowned, remembering that Miss Tan had told him that the Wuhan University Shaobing Shop was a place of right and wrong, so he should stay away.

"Sister, if that Wuhan University comes back tomorrow, tell him that I'm very busy recently and don't have time to go out and paint portraits. Let him hire another painter to paint!" Wang Yugui asked his eldest sister.

The eldest sister nodded quickly: "Hey, okay, brother!"

"Hey, I don't want to go to his house to have his portrait taken!"

"What's the matter, sister? Is there anything weird about his family? Why don't you even start a business?" the second sister asked with a smile while eating.

Mrs. Wang said: "Hey, it's okay if his family doesn't do this business!"

"Hey, it's just a wife from a wealthy family who likes portraits. How come this Wu Da's wife also likes portraits?"

"Well, Wuhan University is a sesame seed seller. If she paints a portrait, how many sesame seed cakes will Wuhan University have to sell?"

"That little guy from Wuhan University earns his hard-earned money, so it doesn't matter if we don't earn his money!"

"Yes, mother, what you said is so true! However, last time I heard the daughter-in-law of Wuhan University said that their family has a lot of money!" The eldest sister took a sip of the soup and said

The second sister hurriedly asked: "Sister, is it true? Where did their family get so much money? Is his wife from Wuhan University bragging?"

"Of course it's true. That's what she said at the time. She also told us not to listen to Wuhan University crying about poverty. If you don't believe it, ask me, and I heard it too," the eldest sister said with a smile.

The second sister and Mrs. Wang both looked at Wang Yugui. Wang Yugui nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what the wife of Wuhan University said at that time."

"However, I don't know if she is bragging. That girl is very vain, and her words cannot be taken seriously!"

"Hey, so the old people often say that to marry a virtuous wife, I think Wu Da married this wife, and I'm afraid she will live an uneasy life." Mrs. Wang smiled and sighed.

The eldest sister smiled and said, "Well, Mom, you are right. I heard from the proprietress of the Zhang family across the street that the Wu Da wife often talks and laughs with some young men in the store!"

"Oh, the proprietress of the Zhang family also said that the daughter-in-law of Wuhan University often dresses up in a demonic and seductive way, like a seductive vixen, haha."

Everyone laughed after hearing this!

"Oh, why did the proprietress of this house come here to tell you this?" Wang Yugui smiled and frowned.

The eldest sister smiled quickly and said, "She didn't come here to tell me specifically. She was standing in front of our store and told Boss Zhao's wife. I happened to hear it, haha!"

"Hey, the lady boss of this house is actually quite nice, but she talks a bit too much, haha." Ms. Wang also laughed.

Wang Yugui told everyone again that starting from tomorrow, he will be preparing to study hard for the exam.

"Hey, brother, if you work hard, you will definitely pass the exam," the second sister smiled.

The eldest sister also nodded: "Brother, just feel free to read upstairs, I will take care of the business in the store!"

"Yes, Gui'er, my mother is still concerned about family matters. You just have to study and tell your mother what you want to eat!" Mrs. Wang also said with a smile.

Wang Yugui was very pleased. Everything was going well for his family and everything had been going smoothly recently, which was a good sign!

In the evening, he wrote another letter to Miss Tan and reported to her about his schedule today.

He also told Miss Tan about his new study plan...

Since returning to Wangtian County, the correspondence between him and Miss Tan has returned to normal.

Miss Tan wrote a letter yesterday, telling him that during his last trip to Ling Mansion, her uncle, aunt, and her mother all had a very good impression of him.

Miss Tan also told him the explosive news that his uncle seemed to be planning to recruit Wang Yugui as his son-in-law!

In the letter, Miss Tan also teased Wang Yugui, saying that he was now a popular man, and asked him if he wanted to marry into a wealthy family and become the son-in-law of the Ling family?

"Oh, this Tan girl is so naughty!" Wang Yugui read the letter and shook his head with laughter.

Does Master Ling like him? He really didn't think about it. He thought that Master Ling was helping Master Tan test him!

Miss Ling Yu is very nice, and I like her very much, but my heart has already been given to Tan Mei, so I can no longer love her.

Wang Yugui immediately wrote to Miss Tan to express his determination to only love her and not marry her.

He also said: Although Lingfu is good, it is not as good as Ximei!

Miss Tan was naturally very happy after receiving the letter.

She also told Wang Yugui that her mother told her that Mr. Tan secretly asked someone to read their birth dates, and the fortune teller said that their birth dates were consistent and that they would have good luck!

Now when his father, Mr. Tan, mentions Wang Yugui, he is not as disgusted as before...

In short, everything is ready, just waiting for Wang Yugui to come back as a scholar!

Miss Tan repeatedly told Wang Yugui to practice calligraphy diligently and make no mistakes!

It's all good things... Wang Yugui now sleeps with a smile every day!

……

The next day, Wang Yugui started to get up early and read as planned!

With the help of a beautiful woman, Wang Yugui felt that his mind was extremely flexible when he was reading and practicing calligraphy, his memory was even more extraordinary, and his efficiency in memorizing and practicing calligraphy was extremely high!

……

At noon, just after dinner, Capt. Liu came to see him.

Wang Yugui hurriedly welcomed him out: "Liu Captou, hello!"

"Haha, okay, okay, Painter Xiao Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Liu Captou smiled and entered the store.

Wang Yugui hurriedly poured him tea: "Yes, didn't I go to Huaizhou with Lu Yuanwai? Mr. Liu, please sit down and drink tea."

"I heard from my eldest sister that you came to the store to look for me on those days when I was out?"

"Hey, yes, Mr. Hai asked me to come to you, just to embroider the portrait of the conference." Liu Captou smiled and took a sip of tea.

Wang Yugui nodded: "Oh, I know. Later, Prime Minister He County told me in Huaizhou!"

"Yes, I came here today to embroider the portrait of the conference."

"Painter Xiao Wang, here, here are five taels of silver. They are the painting fees paid to you by the Yamen. Lord Hai asked me to bring them to you." Liu Captou said and handed the silver to Wang Yugui.

He took out another piece of paper and said: "Painter Xiao Wang, please sign here so that I can go back and deliver the work!"

"Oh, Mr. Hai is so polite. I actually didn't want to ask for money from the Yamen." Wang Yugui smiled.

Liu Captou also smiled: "Hey, painter Xiao Wang, the yamen asked you to paint, so of course you have to pay for the painting."

"I also looked at the paintings you painted. They were really good. After looking at those paintings, it seemed as if we had also witnessed the embroidery conference with our own eyes."

"The common people praised your painting skills after seeing it! In the past, we ordinary people had only heard of the embroidery conference in Huaizhou Prefecture and had never seen it."

"Let me tell you, Mr. Hai said, according to the market outside, paying you fifty taels of silver is not much. However, our yamen is not well-off, so I can only pay you five taels of silver."

"Painter Xiao Wang, Master Hai, please be patient with me!"

"Oh, no, Master Hai is too polite. Okay, then I will accept the five taels of silver." Wang Yugui signed with a smile.

Wang Yugui once again told Capt. Liu about Capt. Feng and Capt. Zhang in Huaizhou Prefecture, and the case of Xue Er in Huaizhou Prefecture...

The two of them had a great chat!
