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

The boy walked around and took Wang Yugui to a large living room in the backyard.

Wang Yugui felt something was not good and frowned: "Brother, are you taking the wrong route? This is not the old lady's residence!"

"Master Wang, don't be anxious, just wait here," the boy said with a smile.

Wang Yugui asked hurriedly: "Is Mr. Zhang at home?"

"Our master has gone out for something and is not in the house now." The boy smiled.

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this, and asked hurriedly: "What about Zhang Sheng, Butler Zhang? Why haven't you seen him?"

"Butler Zhang went out with our master and is not in the house," the boy said with a smile again.

Wang Yugui looked at the boy: "Brother, if I remember correctly, you are the boy who follows Mr. Zhang, right?"

"Haha, Painter Xiao Wang, you have such good eyesight!" Before the boy had time to reply, Young Master Zhang came over with a smile.

When Wang Yugui saw Mr. Zhang San, he also smiled. There was indeed something fishy!

In the past, when Mr. Zhang was invited to come to the mansion for portraits by the old lady and the others, the housekeeper Zhang Sheng would take him directly to the old lady's place in the backyard.

Today, Mr. Zhang's servant was suddenly replaced in front of the door, and he was brought to this large living room. Wang Yugui felt that something was wrong.

Wang Yugui stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Third Young Master!"

Then he asked with a smile: "I heard that the old lady and madam of your house want portraits. I came here specially to paint the portraits of the two madams."

"Haha, Painter Xiao Wang, you have been deceived," Mr. Zhang said as he sat comfortably on the main seat.

He also waved his hand to Wang Yugui: "Please sit down!"

"It's not the old lady who wants a portrait today, it's me who wants a portrait!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Yugui with wide eyes: "Oh, I said, Painter Xiao Wang, you are so arrogant!"

"Why do I have to ask the old lady to invite you? My Dongmei invites you, and that's fine if you don't come."

"Why don't you come when I invite you? Do you look down on me? What do you mean?"

"Third Young Master, I'm really sorry. I'm really busy these days and I don't have time to go out for portraits." Wang Yugui explained hurriedly.

After hearing this, Young Master Zhang looked at Wang Yugui and shook his head: "Oh, Mr. Wang, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Yesterday I asked the boy to invite you, but you didn't come. So I sent another boy and said it was the old lady who invited you, so you came. You clearly look down on me!"

"Hmph, my Dongmei is still smart. As long as she says it's the old lady who invites you, you will definitely come."

Wang Yugui frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking: It turns out it was Ruan Dongmei who came up with this bad idea to trick me!

"Third Young Master, you are too worried, because people from your house have come several times, and it is the old lady who has invited me. Naturally, I can't push it anymore."

"No matter how busy I am, I have to come over. I hope that the Third Young Master will forgive me for any shortcomings." Wang Yugui hurriedly apologized and asked, "I haven't seen the Third Young Master asking for a portrait in the past, so why did you suddenly think of asking for a portrait of me?"

"Oh, Mr. Wang, I can do whatever I want. Do I need to tell you?" Mr. Zhang San snorted.

Then he said: "They say you are good at painting, but I want to see if you can draw me well."

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Yugui with a wicked smile: "Painter Wang, if your painting is not good, I won't pay you!"

"Okay, no problem." Wang Yugui smiled slightly and said hurriedly: "Then, Third Young Master, let's get started!"

"Are you going to paint in the house? Or outside in the garden?"

"Well, let me take a look at two drawings in the room first." Mr. Zhang smiled.

Wang Yugui nodded: "Okay, then I will start painting. Third Young Master, please sit down."

Wang Yugui didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he set up the painting tools and started painting.

The appearance of Mr. Zhang San was really not suitable for a portrait, so Wang Yugui had no choice but to add a little bit of beauty to him. Otherwise, it would be too realistic and the painting would be too ugly!

Soon, the two paintings were completed.

Mr. Zhang looked at it and smacked his lips: "Oh, this, this, does this young master look like this?"

"Yes, Third Young Master, you can take a look in the mirror and compare." Wang Yugui nodded.

Young Master Zhang nodded: "Okay, these two paintings are just okay. Let's go and paint two more paintings in the garden."

Ha, Wang Yugui sneered secretly: This guy has such a big mouth, it’s okay! What a lie!

In the garden outside, Master Zhang sat in the pavilion and drew two more portraits.

After finishing the painting, Master Zhang looked at the painting and smacked his lips again: "Oh, this painting is not very good, and it doesn't make me look very good."

As he spoke, he asked the two boys beside him: "Do you think so?"

"Yes, sir, in my opinion, the painting is not as good-looking as you in person." A young boy hurriedly agreed.

Another one also said: "No, it looks much worse than in person, not even as good as in the mirror!"

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this: These three masters and servants are obviously talking nonsense and looking for trouble!

"Painter Xiao Wang, did you hear that? Everyone said that your painting is not like it, and it makes me look ugly."

"I think it's better to redraw it, ah, redraw it, redraw it, and draw two more to see" Young Master Zhang looked at Wang Yugui with a smirk.

Repaint? This was the first time Wang Yugui heard someone asking him to redraw it!

His grandma, does he think I am a street graffiti artist? With a big mouth, he said he would repaint it again.

Do you know how much money I get for painting a painting?

Wang Yugui put down his brush and smiled: "Third Young Master, you can repaint it if you want."

"You invite the old lady and my wife over. If they look at it and say it doesn't look like it or the painting is not good, I will repaint it!"

"Oh, Mr. Wang, unfortunately, the old lady and the madam have gone to Huaizhou Mansion to visit relatives, and they are not in the mansion at the moment." Mr. Zhang looked at Wang Yugui with a smile.

Wang Yugui smiled: "Then let's wait until Zhang Yuanwai comes back to see the painting!"

"If Zhang Yuanwai says that my paintings don't look good, or that my paintings are not good, I won't take any money from my paintings."

"When the time comes, you don't have to ask me to redraw it for you. Please ask the Third Young Master to hire another expert to draw it!"

"Haha, there's no need to bother my dad with this little thing." After hearing this, Master Zhang sneered.

Then he said: "My portrait, if I say it doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it. There's no need to ask others!"

Wang Yugui said calmly: "Third Young Master, if you say that, I won't be happy."

"What I drew is you, and it's your best look. If you don't believe it, you can take it to the street, stick it in front of the notice in the government office, and see if the people in the city can recognize you, Zhang San. Come here, sir!”

"Oh, how presumptuous, Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? Do you think our young master is a criminal?"

"We also need to put our son's portrait in front of the notice in the yamen," a boy shouted hurriedly.

Wang Yugui glared at him: "What do you know? Who told you that notices in the yamen can only post portraits of prisoners?"

"Let me tell you, the good news from the court is also posted there, so don't interrupt if you don't understand! I'm talking to your young master!"

"Ah, back off!" After hearing this, Master Zhang San waved his hand at the servant and shouted, "Fool, don't you know that Painter Xiao Wang is eloquent and good at making excuses?"

"Young master, I can't even defeat him, how can you defeat him!"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he frowned: What did this guy say? This is clearly trying to squeeze me out!

"Third Young Master, I am telling the truth. Why are there any quibbles?" Wang Yugui kept smiling and said: "Third Young Master, if you are not satisfied with my painting skills, then please hire someone else!"

"I won't accept your painting fees for these four paintings today, so I'm leaving!"

As Wang Yugui said that, he put away his painting tools and prepared to leave. He didn't want to get entangled with Young Master Zhang anymore, and he didn't know what he wanted to do!

I regret not bringing Ah Huang. After entering Zhang's house today, I always feel uneasy.

If you can't afford to offend him, you'd better hide to avoid causing trouble!
