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

When the eldest sister saw this, she hurriedly asked, "Oh, Sister Jin is crying, Mom, brother, should we go over to see her?"

Wang looked at her son and waved her hand, "It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs. As outsiders, we should not interfere in the affairs of the Qi family!"

"Yes, mother is right. It's someone else's family affairs, so we should not ask too much." Wang Yugui nodded.

……

Late at night, Wang Yugui sat at his desk, reading Miss Tan's reply.

In response to his refusal to paint a portrait of Xiao Meiniang, Miss Tan said: You don't have to refuse, but don't expect to receive any more letters from me in the future.

Wang Yugui looked at it and laughed: "That was a close call, haha!"

Miss Tan also said that her father never went to those brothels, and Wang Yugui was not allowed to go there in the future.

Not only are you not allowed to go to Yihonglou to paint the body, you are also not allowed to paint other things. From now on, you are not even allowed to go to Yihonglou.

Miss Tan said: There is no need to ruin your reputation for a few taels of silver.

Wang Yugui saw that she was not angry and laughed instead: "Oh, we haven't even gotten married yet and Sister Tan is already controlling me, hehe!"

How many taels of silver? Wang Yugui sighed secretly: Hey, that's not just a few taels of silver, at least dozens of taels!

However, fortunately, I have solved the problem of food and clothing, so I don’t need to eat anything when I’m hungry. I can do what I should do and not what I shouldn’t do.

Compared with Miss Tan, earning a few dozen taels less is nothing.

Wang Yugui also told Miss Tan about helping Zhang Siwen make a sign painting and about his plan to open a big inn in the city with Master Qian.

The next day, Miss Tan wrote back: Just study hard and take the exam to become a scholar, don't be distracted by other things for the time being, and don't envy them.

As for making money, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. It’s good enough to make some money by painting now!

"Yeah, I think so too." Wang Yugui nodded and sighed: "But it would be better if I could make more money earlier!"

……

In the following days, Wang Yugui was busy running to Dewang Building, and carefully helped Fatty Zhang design a large food promotion poster, or a big menu.

When this large sign painting was hung up in Dewang Building, it stunned everyone and attracted the attention of the entire food street.

The news that Dewang Building had a large painted sign spread quickly throughout the city.

The owner of Zuiweilou couldn't sit still anymore, so he secretly went to Dewanglou to take a look. When he came back, he found Wang Yugui and asked him to paint a big signboard for their Zuiweilou.

The two signature restaurants in the city both put up signboards, and signboards soon became popular in Wangtian County...

However, Wang Yugui only took a few big orders, and all the small orders were taken by other painters.

After all, he charges a high fee for paintings, and small businesses cannot afford him, so they can only find small painters to paint for them.

Every time Wang Yugui earned 100 taels of silver, he would go to Nancun to buy some land.

When good fortune came, it could not be stopped, and the art shop's business became better. After a while, a big customer came to buy ten paintings.

Wang Yugui was very pleased that the income of the art shop had stabilized. Now he could focus on studying and preparing for the exam.

……

That afternoon, Wang Yugui was sitting in the store resting.

Zhang Siwen came wandering in with two servants. As soon as he entered the store, he smiled and said, "Oh, how come you have time to look after the store yourself today? Ah, haha!"

"Haha, it's Brother Zhang, please come in!" Wang Yugui was delighted to see him coming and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

After Zhang Siwen entered the store, he did not sit down immediately. He walked around the store first, looked around, and then sat down.

Wang Yugui poured him a cup of tea and said, "Brother Zhang, how come you have time to visit my shop today?"

"A few days ago, when I went to Dewang Building to get materials for the signboard, I often didn't see you!"

"Ah, haha, about this, hehe, I had something going on at home, so I went back to Xiaozhang Village some time ago." Zhang Siwen laughed when he heard this.

Wang Yugui noticed that this guy had been grinning all day, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhang, I see you look so happy, is there something happy happening at home?"

"Ah, haha, yes, yes, there is such a happy event," Zhang Siwen laughed.

As he spoke, he shook his big head and whispered, "Brother, let me tell you, I'm going to be a father soon! Your sister-in-law is about to give birth!

"Ah? My sister-in-law is pregnant?" Wang Yugui was surprised.

Zhang Siwen is a pretty tight-lipped guy. I’ve never heard him mention that his wife is pregnant before, and now she’s suddenly going to give birth!

Wang Yugui hurriedly congratulated him: "Oh, then congratulations, Brother Zhang, this is indeed a great event!"

Then he asked, "Why haven't I heard Brother Zhang mention this before? Brother Zhang, you are really patient!"

"Haha, it's not because I can't keep my composure, it's because my mom told me not to tell anyone about it," Zhang Siwen laughed.

He added: "My mother said that this is my first child, so I can't tell anyone about it too early. I have to tell them later!"

Wang Yugui heard this and laughed, thinking: This is your first child, it seems like you gave birth to a child!

"Oh, no wonder Brother Zhang is so happy. Seeing how happy he is, my sister-in-law must be pregnant with a big fat boy, right?" Wang Yugui smiled.

Zhang Siwen laughed: "Oh, I don't know either, but my mother said it should be a fat boy!"

"My wife likes sour food. Isn't it said that sour boy and spicy girl? Haha!"

Zhang Siwen said, and suddenly sighed: "Ah, actually, I'm just foolishly happy."

"I don't know whether having a son is good or bad!"

Then he looked at Wang Yugui and said, "I've never been a father, so I'm not sure about this!"

Oh my god, Wang Yugui thought, you have stumped me with this question, I am not married yet.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, you're asking me? You're asking the wrong person. You should ask Brother Qian about this. Didn't he just have a son last year?" Wang Yugui laughed.

Zhang Siwen also laughed after hearing this: "Oh, I forgot, you don't have a wife yet, haha!"

He added, "Brother Qian, he is busy building his inn now and has no time to chat with me!"

"His inn is already half built. I passed by East Street the day before yesterday and took a look. It looks quite big," Wang Yugui said with a smile.

Zhang Siwen smiled: "Yes, his father bought three shops over there, demolished them and built them together, and also wanted to build a building."

"I think the old man in their family is holding back. He wants to build a building that's bigger and more impressive than my Dewang Building, haha!"

"Ah? Elders, do you have to compete with each other on this?" Wang Yugui also laughed after hearing this.

Zhang Siwen laughed: "Yes, my father saw through his old man's narrow-mindedness at a glance, haha!"

"My father said that if his inn opened, it would definitely affect the business of our Dewanglou and Zuiweilou."

"That may not be the case. Guests who want to eat out will still go out to eat, and guests who stay in the inn to eat will not go to Dewanglou to eat," said Wang Yugui

Zhang Siwen looked at Wang Yugui and smiled: "Well, brother, what you said makes some sense!"

"Forget it, forget it. If they want to open a business, I can't stop them. You're right. Let's just do our own business. Haha."
