Chapter 636: Happy Events at the Lu Mansion

Making money is the best motivation. Wang Yugui immediately put the book away and started painting.

Since autumn has arrived, I decided to paint some autumn scenes. I painted several pictures in one go.

Inspired by the delicious crabs from Miss Tan’s house, I specially painted a picture of crabs with the inscription: The crabs are fat, the wine is ripe, and the chrysanthemums are yellow.

"Oh, brother, your crab painting is really suitable for the scene!" The elder sister saw it and praised it repeatedly.

I stared at the crab picture for a while and said, "Oh, brother, you drew it so realistically."

"The crab is painted so realistically. Brother, should this painting be sold at a higher price?"

"Let's sell it for two taels of silver," Wang Yugui laughed, and then said, "It's good enough to sell it for two taels of silver. Don't be too greedy!"

"Okay, brother, I understand." The eldest sister nodded.

The brother and sister were busy redecorating the art shop. When Wang heard that the shop had done a big business today, she was very happy: "Oh, it would be great if we could have a customer like this every month, haha!"

"Yes, mother, it would be even better if one came every day, then our family would become rich, hehe." The eldest sister was more daring than Wang.

Wang Yugui laughed: "Haha, this kind of customer is hard to come by, it's unlikely to happen every day."

"My paintings are good, but they're not to the point where the whole city would go crazy for them. If I can sell one a day, or one every two or three days, that's pretty good!"

"Hey, brother, your requirements are not high?" The elder sister heard it and laughed.

Wang also laughed: "Your brother is being pragmatic. If you think too much, you will just be dreaming. It's better to be down-to-earth!"

"Haha..." Wang Yugui and Damei both laughed when they heard this.

Suddenly, the second sister appeared at the door of the store: "Hey, mom, brother, sister, why are you all in the store?"

Seeing the three of them laughing happily, he hurriedly asked, "What are you laughing at? Is there any happy event in our family?"

"Did Sister Tan send some delicious food again?"

Wow, Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this and looked at his second sister: "Wang Ermei, how come you only know how to eat all day long?"

"Yes, how do you know what's delicious? Let me tell you, our store is having a big opening today." The eldest sister also looked at the second sister and smiled.

The second sister asked hurriedly: "A big one? What does it mean, sister?"

"Yes, there was a customer today..." The eldest sister hurriedly told her about the big order she had made today.

The second sister was also very happy when she heard this: "Oh, that's great, it would be great if it could be like this every day, hehe!"

It came again. Wang Yugui laughed when he heard it. Wang suddenly asked, "Second sister, what is that in your hand?"

"Oh, mother, it's red eggs." The second sister smiled and handed the small bag to Wang.

When Wang heard this, she laughed: "Red eggs? Where did they come from?"

"Hey, there's a happy event happening in our embroidery workshop today." The second sister looked at everyone with a smile and said, "You don't know yet, do you?"

"Miss Lu gave birth to a big fat boy, and our Mr. Lu is now a grandfather!"

"Ah? Miss Lu gave birth to a son?" Wang Yugui was a little surprised. How come he didn't hear any news about it?

The eldest sister asked hurriedly, "Didn't Miss Lu go to the capital with her husband? How come she suddenly gave birth to a big fat boy?"

"Oh, sister, why is it so sudden? Miss Lu came back a few months ago to give birth, but we didn't know about it." The second sister laughed

Wang also laughed: "Oh, Mr. Lu must be very happy, Mr. Lu's family are all good people"

"Thank goodness, God has given them a grandson!"

"Second sister, are you saying that Miss Lu is going back to the Lu Mansion to give birth?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

The second sister nodded: "Yes! Not only our embroidery workshop, but all the shops in Lu's family also distributed red eggs today."

"Oh, Mr. Lu is so generous. He gave so many red eggs." Wang smiled when she heard it.

As he said this, he counted the red eggs that his second sister brought back: "Oh, my second sister got sixteen!"

"Haha, Mom, this isn't just for me, there's also a share for my brother." The second sister laughed when she heard this

He added: "Eight red eggs per person, and we will take two, which makes sixteen!"

"Oh, Mr. Lu is so polite. He always thinks of me when he distributes things." Wang Yugui smiled after hearing this.

The second sister laughed: "Brother, all of you painters have them. Old Painter Qi also took two copies. However, he didn't seem to give them to Sister Jin. He took them all back to his own home!"

"Oh, this old painter Qi is so mean to Sister Jin!" The eldest sister heard this and shook her head.

He added, "Sister Jin's business is not good now. No one buys her paintings. She has to make money by doing embroidery work herself!"

"It would be fine if Master Qi didn't help, but why did he have to fight with his wife for even a few eggs?"

Wow, Wang Yugui felt angry and amused after hearing this. Wang Shi laughed: "Then the old man doesn't like Baochai, it's not just a matter of a few eggs!"

Then he looked outside and said, "Gui Er, it's getting late, I think we should close the shop."

"Mom will go in right away and steam the crabs for you. I will also boil these red eggs and make you some soy sauce eggs!"

"Okay, okay. I love soy sauce eggs." Wang Yugui smiled and nodded.

He called his eldest and second sisters, "You two should go in and help mom. I will just close the shop!"

"Okay, brother," the eldest and second sisters agreed at the same time, and ran into the backyard together with a smile.

Wang Yugui was closing his shop when he looked up and saw Jin Baochai across the street also closing her shop.

The door of Jin Baochai's shop seemed to be stuck again, and it was looking towards Wang Yugui!

Wang Yugui was startled and lowered his head, pretending not to see it. Unexpectedly, Jin Baochai came over and said, "Painter Xiao Wang, my shop door is stuck again and I can't close it. Can you help me close it?"

"Ah? Why can't it be turned off again? Didn't you ask your brother to come and fix it?" Wang Yugui was helpless and had nowhere to hide, so he had to look up and answer.

Jin Baochai bit her lip and sighed: "I, I don't want my brother to repair it anymore"

"I went back and talked to him about it that day. Guess what he said?"

"He said he would help me fix it, but I had to treat him to a nice meal and give him some pocket money as wages!"

"I was so angry that I had another fight with him. Now all his food and drinks are paid for by me."

"I asked him to fix the door, but he still had the nerve to ask for so much from me, wanting good food and pocket money!"

"Master Xiao Wang, tell me, how could I have such a heartless brother!"

Jin Baochai said this and started crying.

When Wang Yugui heard this, his heart softened again. Jin Baochai really had it so hard!

Originally, I didn't want to get involved, but since they asked for help directly, I had no choice but to help.

Wang Yugui looked at Jin Baochai and said, "Okay, you go first, I'll close the shop door and then I'll help you close it!"

"Oh, okay, thank you, Painter Xiao Wang." Jin Baochai nodded, wiped her tears, and turned back to her shop.

Wang Yugui thought about it, closed the door of his shop, ran inside and called his eldest sister: "Big sister, come here, go out with me for a while!"

"Hey, brother, it's getting dark, where are you going?" The eldest sister heard the call and ran out with a smile.

Wang Yugui nodded and said, "The door of Painter Xiao Qi's shop can't be closed, and his wife asked me to help her close it. Come with me!"

"Ah?" The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Hey, okay, brother, I understand!"
