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

The old procuress didn't even wait for Wang Yugui to answer and started to sell her product enthusiastically.

Wang Yugui was embarrassed and speechless. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Meiniang's voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Mom, don't waste your energy."

"Xiao Wang is a painter with a false reputation. He is a coward and has no idea how to beautify himself!"

"I didn't reward him a penny. What's the point of holding him? He doesn't even dare to draw a beautiful body, and he dares to look for a girl. Humph!"

After Xiao Meiniang finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at Wang Yugui, snorted, turned around and went back to the house.

When Wang Yugui heard this, he was like, oh damn it, she is even mocking me!

Humph, if she wasn't such a top beauty, I would have said something to her.

The madam listened below and looked at Wang Yugui in surprise: "Master Wang, is what our girl said true? You, you can't paint a beautiful body?"

"Yes, she is telling the truth. I really can't draw. You should ask someone else for help. Goodbye." Wang Yugui nodded.

After saying this, he took advantage of the time when the madam was stunned and hurriedly walked out of Yihonglou.

The madam didn't chase him. She just stood there in disbelief, muttering to herself, "Isn't this guy a fool?"

"Painting on the body of a top-ranking girl is a great bargain. He can see the girl's body for free and earn money at the same time. Why wouldn't he do it?"

"Humph, there are so many people who want to do this but don't have the chance. This painter Xiao Wang is really just a pretty face with no real use!"

"It was the same before. He never found a girl here. What's wrong with a young and strong guy like you? Is there anything wrong with you? What's the matter with a cat that doesn't like fish? Humph!"

……

Wang Yugui was very excited when he came to Yihonglou, but he had mixed feelings when he escaped.

Not only did he not make any money, but he was also ridiculed by Xiao Meiniang, which made him quite upset.

When they got home, the older sister was shocked: "Hey, brother, why did you come back so soon?"

"I thought you were going to paint until dark before coming back!"

"Oh, don't mention it, I didn't paint at all." Wang Yugui put down his painting tools, sighed, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The eldest sister was surprised and ran over to ask, "Brother, what's going on? Why are there no paintings?"

"Ah, nothing. If I don't want to paint, I won't paint." Wang Yugui drank a sip of tea and calmed down.

This Yihonglou is really not a good place. I get startled every time I go there.

The eldest sister was puzzled and looked at Wang Yugui: "Ah? You don't want to paint? Why?"

"So what did Miss Xiao ask you to draw?"

"What to draw? Draw two flowers," Wang Yugui said unhappily.

The elder sister was even more puzzled after hearing this: "Brother, what's so difficult about drawing two flowers? Why don't you draw them?"

Before Wang Yugui could answer, the eldest sister suddenly clapped her hands: "Oh, I see, it must be that Miss Xiao who is reluctant to spend money!"

Wow, the eldest sister only cares about money. Wang Yugui smiled and said, "That's not the case. It's just that I don't want to make money from her!"

"Ah? Brother, you don't want to make money even if you have money?" The eldest sister was surprised.

It was the first time she heard Wang Yugui say that he didn't want to make money anymore!

Wang Yugui took another sip of tea and smiled, "Yeah, what's wrong? Can't I? Haha!"

"Ah, no, I just think it's weird, hehe." The eldest sister also laughed

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "But I think there must be a reason why I don't want to paint!"

"Of course. A real man has his ways and his ways." Wang Yugui smiled after hearing this.

He added: "I, your brother, am a gentleman who loves money, but I get it in a proper way!"

Then he sighed again: "Alas, I went to Yihonglou for nothing. I thought I could earn a few dozen taels of silver. I was so happy for nothing!"

"Brother, don't be sad. You didn't make any money painting, but I made money selling paintings at home." The eldest sister said, smiling and taking out a silver bag and handing it to Wang Yugui.

Wang Yugui took the silver bag and took a look. Wow, there was another twenty taels of silver!

Wang Yugui asked hurriedly, "Big sister, is it the customer who bought the painting last time who is here again?"

"Ah? No, brother." The elder sister heard it and laughed.

Then he pointed to the wall and said, "Brother, look, the crab picture you drew a few days ago and those autumn landscape pictures are all sold out!"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he looked around and, oh my, it was true. He hadn’t noticed when he came back just now, and the paintings were really gone.

Wang Yugui was very happy as he didn't expect that the autumn scenery painting he just drew would be so popular.

I hurriedly asked my eldest sister, "Was it bought by one customer, or by several customers? Did the customers like the autumn scene you painted?"

"Well, of course the customer really likes my autumn landscape painting. If he didn't like it, why would he buy it?" the eldest sister laughed.

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "Brother, let me tell you, it was bought by a customer. You know that customer!"

"Oh? Someone I know? Who is it?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly. This older sister was still keeping him in suspense.

The eldest sister laughed: "Haha, it's Zhang Siwen, Master Zhang, Fatty Zhang!"

Oh my god, my elder sister calls Zhang Siwen so many times, so why would he buy so many autumn scenery pictures at once?

"Ah? Fatty Zhang bought it?" Wang Yugui was surprised.

The eldest sister nodded: "Yes, you just left with the girl named Yun'er from Yihonglou not long ago."

"Fatty Zhang came to our store with two servants looking for you. I told him you were not at home and had gone out."

"Fatty Zhang was very disappointed and asked me where I had been!"

"Ah? You didn't tell him that I went to Yihonglou, did you?" Wang Yugui interrupted and asked

The eldest sister laughed: "Oh, brother, am I that stupid? I won't tell him."

"I told him that you had something to do with Captain Liu at the government office, and he didn't ask any more questions!"

"Oh, that's good. Well, sister, good answer." Wang Yugui smiled and nodded.

Only the government can make Zhang Siwen shut up and stop asking questions.

The eldest sister continued, "After hearing this, the fat man was very disappointed. He sighed and just turned to leave when he suddenly looked up and saw the crab picture hanging in front of him."

"Oh, Fatty Zhang's eyes lit up at that time, and he stared at the crab picture left and right."

"He kept praising the crab painting for being so well-drawn and lifelike. I saw him drooling just looking at the big crab in the painting!"

"Haha... Fatty Zhang is delicious." Wang Yugui laughed and asked, "Then what? Did he buy the crab picture?"

"Yes, he immediately said he wanted the crab painting. I thought he was quite knowledgeable, so I recommended your new autumn paintings to him!" the eldest sister continued.

He added: "I told him that it is autumn now, and these autumn landscapes are all new paintings my brother just drew for the occasion!"

"Each one is unique in the city. I told him that it's better to go to a restaurant like Dewanglou that has a high level of taste and class."

"Each season should have different paintings that are suitable for the occasion. For example, now that it is autumn, we should change the paintings to autumn scenes like the ones my brother painted!"

“Wait until winter to replace the pictures with some winter scenery, so that Dewang Building will look lively and vibrant.”

“Only when there is vitality and liveliness can there be popularity, more customers and prosperous business!”

"If you always hang the same painting year after year, or even for several years, it will feel lifeless and the store will close sooner or later."
