After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

"Brother, I heard from people in the embroidery workshop that painter Xiao Qi had a falling out with his father, old painter Qi, because of Sister Jin."

"Old painter Qi gave the shop opposite to young painter Qi and drove him and Sister Jin out of Qi's house." In the evening, during dinner, the second sister reported to Wang Yugui

After hearing this, the eldest sister quickly asked: "Because of Sister Jin? What happened to Sister Jin?"

"I don't know exactly what happened. I only heard that Mr. Qi doesn't like Sister Jin very much."

"I want Painter Xiao Qi to either divorce Sister Jin, or take Sister Jin out of Qi's house and live alone outside," the second sister said

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned: "Oh, is this old man Qi crazy?"

"Girl Jin has only been married for a few days. Why did you recruit him and force your son to divorce his wife?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I heard that the old painter Qi didn't approve of this marriage from the beginning. It was the young painter Qi who insisted on marrying Sister Jin," the second sister said after taking a sip of porridge.

The eldest sister curled her lips and said: "Then he should have firmly disagreed from the beginning. Now, his wife has already married into the family, so he is forcing his son to divorce his wife. What kind of talk is that!"

"There may be some hidden meaning here. I think that although the old painter Qi is old-fashioned, he doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person." Wang Yugui frowned and said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Yes, one family doesn't know what's going on. Otherwise, why would the old people often say: Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite!"

……

The next day, Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop officially opened, and a burst of firecrackers were set off early in the morning.

The old painter Qi still didn't show up, but after all, the young painter Qi was still his son, and some guests came to congratulate him one after another.

In the afternoon, Wang Yugui was tired of reading and went downstairs to the store to take a look.

"Brother, the store opposite has more calligraphy and paintings than ours. Shouldn't we also draw some new paintings and hang them up?" The eldest sister is very worried.

Wang Yugui looked at the opposite side and nodded with a smile: "Well, sister, you are right. It's time for me to paint some new paintings to decorate the store."

"We can't let all our popularity be sucked away by the other side!"

"I'm not worried about popularity. Anyway, that painter Xiao Qi can't draw pictures of cats and bears."

"He's not as famous as his father. It's hard to say whether he will have any business."

"I just don't want to lose to the opponent in terms of momentum. His newly opened store is full of new calligraphy and paintings. Our store also needs to be renovated." The eldest sister laughed.

Wang Yugui also laughed after hearing this: "Okay, I will paint in the evening, and we will also rearrange the paintings in the shop tomorrow. Haha"

The brother and sister were talking when they suddenly saw a carriage parked in front of Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop.

Wang Yugui and his eldest sister hurriedly raised their heads and stared at the carriage. Wang Yugui thought to himself: Oh, this Xiaoqi calligraphy and painting shop is a distinguished guest!

After the carriage stopped, a little maid came forward and helped a gorgeously dressed young woman get out of the carriage.

"Ah, then, that seems to be Sister Ruan." The eldest sister's sharp eyes saw that the young woman was Ruan Dongmei.

Wang Yugui also saw it clearly and wondered: "Why is she here? Does she have a good relationship with Jin Baochai?"

"It's not very good, I haven't heard from my second sister." The eldest sister frowned.

He looked at the other side and smiled again: "Oh, but Sister Ruan's outing is quite grand."

"This pomp does not look like a concubine of the Zhang family, but looks like the wife of the Zhang family!"

"Hmph" Wang Yugui snorted and said nothing, thinking: According to Ruan Dongmei's vanity and virtue, she probably came out specially to show off in front of Jin Baochai!

After a while, I saw the boy taking a few calligraphy and paintings and putting them on the carriage.

Ruan Dongmei left Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop but did not get on the carriage directly. She raised her head and looked into Wang Yugui's shop.

Seeing Wang Yugui's brother and sister looking at her, she smiled slightly, twisted her waist, and walked over slowly.

The eldest sister was surprised: "Oh, brother, Sister Ruan has come to our store."

"Come just come, what are you afraid of?" Wang Yugui smiled. He wanted to see how Ruan Dongmei got into trouble.

Ruan Dongmei arrived in front of Wang's painting shop, looked at her eldest sister and said with a smile: "Hello, eldest sister!"

"Oh, it's really Sister Ruan. I said they look alike. Sister Ruan, your outfit is so expensive. I don't even dare to recognize you." The eldest sister also knows how to talk.

Ruan Dongmei laughed after hearing this: "Oh, sister, you are really good at talking. No wonder your brother asked you to look after the store!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Yugui and smiled: "Painter Xiao Wang, why, you don't seem to welcome me into the store!"

"Where, how dare, how dare, I just don't know what to call you for a moment." Wang Yugui stepped forward and smiled.

After hearing this, Ruan Dongmei's face changed slightly. Before she could speak, the maid next to her heard this and said hurriedly: "This is our Mrs. Dongmei!"

When Wang Yugui heard this, Mrs. Dongmei? Shouldn't it be Aunt Ruan?

Ruan Dongmei looked at the maid and said, "Talk too much!", then smiled at Wang Yugui and said, "Painter Xiao Wang, you and I are old acquaintances, so you can just call me the same as before!"

"How can that be done? You used to be a girl when you were unmarried, but it's different now. I think it's more appropriate to call me Mrs. Dongmei." Wang Yugui smiled

Ruan Dongmei rolled her eyes at him: "It's up to you, I can do it!"

As he spoke, he turned his head, ignored Wang Yugui, and said to his eldest sister: "Sister, are there any fresh calligraphy and paintings in the store? Let me take a look at some of them!"

"Oh, Sister Ruan, did you go to the street specifically to buy calligraphy and paintings today?" the eldest sister asked with a smile.

Ruan Dongmei looked at the opposite side and smiled: "That's not true. I heard that Sister Jin's calligraphy and painting shop opened today."

"I came here to support her and open a market. By the way, I also came to your store to have a look."

"Oh, that's it! Sister Ruan, what do you think of these pictures of pandas?" The eldest sister hurriedly took out several pictures of pandas and showed them to Ruan Dongmei.

Ruan Dongmei looked at the signature, shook her head, and turned to look at Wang Yugui: "Painter Xiao Wang, why are the cat and panda pictures in your painting shop so difficult to sell now?"

"Oh, these paintings were painted two months ago. Why haven't they been sold after being on display for two months?"

The eldest sister heard what she said and was about to explain. Wang Yugui was the first to laugh and said: "Yes, aren't we just waiting for distinguished guests like Mrs. Dongmei to come and buy it?"

"Mrs. Dongmei, you should know that the fastest selling items in the market are definitely the cheap ones."

"A picture of a cat and panda like ours costs ten taels of silver, so naturally it cannot be compared with the cheap ones!"

"Mrs. Dongmei, how many paintings do you want to buy?"

Ruan Dongmei's little maid heard this and immediately said loudly: "Ten taels of silver a piece, this is too expensive!"

"Our wife just bought six paintings from across the street, and we only paid six taels of silver in total."

"Oh, little sister, you don't understand this. The price of a painting depends on who painted it."

"If you go to the street stall in Dongmen to buy it, it's quite cheap. Six paintings only cost sixty taels of silver," the elder sister said hurriedly.

The little maid was unconvinced: "Well, your painting is still too expensive. I, we..."

"Talk too much!" Ruan Dongmei glared at her. The little maid didn't dare to speak anymore and retreated.

Ruan Dongmei looked up at Wang Yugui and smiled slightly: "Painter Xiao Wang, ten taels of silver a piece is ten taels of silver a piece."

"However, I don't want these old paintings. I want you to draw me two new pictures of cats and bears!"

"Okay, no problem, just listen to Mrs. Dongmei." Wang Yugui smiled and nodded.
