Shen Yiran designed the curtain himself and ordered the waiter to take it out and hang it up.

When the curtain was raised on the bamboo pole outside the store, many people immediately came over to watch.

Fang Yonghao moved his fingers, and his men immediately rushed forward violently, pushed the scholars aside, occupied the front seats, looked inside and reported.

"Sir, the calligraphy and painting appreciation meeting will be held later, and the owner of the restaurant will come out to host it personally."

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Today's paintings and calligraphy are all my wife's favorites. If anyone likes them, they can be bought as long as they are willing to bid!"

Fang Yonghao didn't care about calligraphy and painting at all. He just heard that Shen Yiran was going to host the event in person, so couldn't he take the opportunity to get close to him?

"Okay, my mansion is just missing a few of those paintings, so it's a good opportunity to take a look!"

Shen Yiran heard the waiter's message in the inner room, pursed his lips and smiled, then turned to Bai Zhi: "Is Shuhua ready?"

Bai Zhi blushed slightly and replied with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, they are all in the carriage and will be here soon."

"Okay, go outside and see how the preparations are going."

Bai Zhi turned around after hearing it, and saw Shen Yunyan in front, followed by Song Qizhao coming in.

Fang Yonghao saw it and immediately waved: "Hey, Miss Song is here too, come and sit over here!"

Shen Yunyan was dressed differently today. Knowing that all the men here were attracted to her, she swayed her waist and sat down in a charming and seductive manner.

Bai Zhi immediately turned around and went in to report: "Madam, it's bad, the second young lady is here, she has seen Jiang Fei before!"

Shen Yiran's eyes turned cold when he heard this: "This is something that will happen sooner or later. If Jiang Fei can get through this safely, he can go ahead in front of others and proceed according to the plan."

Two carriages were parked at the main entrance of the restaurant. The hall was already full of people. Even stools were placed on the aisle on the second floor. Everyone was sitting around the railings, looking on expectantly.

Four people got off the carriage, and immediately a servant went to the second carriage to move the calligraphy and paintings.

Jiang Feiqing walked in front with a proud look on his face. Among the four painters, he was the only unknown one.

Shen Yunyan came here today to find out whether the restaurant was making money or not. His eyes casually passed by the faces of the four people who walked in and immediately fell on Jiang Fei's face.

"Sir, don't you think this person looks familiar?"

Fang Yonghao stretched his neck to look at where Shen Yiran came out from. Hearing this, he glanced at Jiang Fei and asked, "Where have I seen him before?"

A person spreads out his calligraphy and paintings and hangs them at the door. With the light from outside, people sitting in the hall can see them clearly.

Some people on the second floor began to crowd down the stairs, and everyone walked forward to see what was going on.

Seeing that the action had already begun, Fang Yonghao immediately shouted, "Didn't they say that the Marquis's wife would personally preside over it?"

Shen Yiran was walking at the door when he heard these words. He then looked at Fang Yonghao who had stood up and whose head was spinning around like a rattle. He ordered his men to stop him, feeling very disgusted.

"The wife of the Marquis is here!"

As soon as the waiter shouted loudly, everyone immediately quieted down and turned to look at Shen Yiran.

Shen Yiran was dressed simply and elegantly, with a calm and composed demeanor. He held Bai Zhi's hand and sat at the seat at the top.

"Thank you all for attending this calligraphy and painting appreciation conference. These are all painters who have become famous recently. You can look at them at will. If you like any of them, you can buy them."

Shen Yiran said with a smile and turned to look at the painting.

The four people chosen today were all specially selected. Each of them is accomplished in landscape painting, and only Jiang Fei has paintings of beauties.

Naturally, everyone's attention was attracted by the life-size picture of the beauty.

Jiang Fei stood aside and did not introduce himself to the audience like other talented men. If it were not for the really good beauty painting, no one would be willing to approach him.

Shen Yiran also felt a bit of a headache when he saw Fang Yonghao and Shen Yunyan walking up.

Fang Yonghao's men pushed away everyone around the beauty painting. Fang Yonghao walked under the beauty painting and took a look. He saw the beauty looking around with affection, smiling silently at the person who was looking at her.

"Don't mention it, this painting is really lifelike! It's a pity that it still can't match the beauty of the Marquis's wife!"

Fang Yonghao complimented loudly and winked at Shen Yiran.

Shen Yiran was drinking tea from the cup, so he pretended not to hear and covered his face with the cup.

Jiang Fei stared at the person in front of him with disgust.

Shen Yunyan used her skills and smiled at Jiang Fei, "My dear, have we met somewhere before?"

"Never!"

"Oh...even the voices sound more and more similar. If I remember correctly, you used to paint landscapes, right?"

Then he pointed at a folding fan in the crowd and said, "My dear, is this fan made by you?"

Jiang Fei was completely recognized by Shen Yunyan.

No matter how many times this person changes his face, his expression is still the same, no wonder he can be recognized.

Bai Zhi was a little panicked and tugged at Shen Yiran's sleeve.

"Are you talking about the apprentice who painted folding fans in my shop? He committed a crime and died. Don't you know about that?"

Shen Yunyan touched her temples with her hand, looking at Shen Yiran with a half-smile: "If there is no body, who knows whether he is dead or not?"

Shen Yiran laughed and said, "You haven't seen His Majesty's imperial edict. Are you doubting the contents of the imperial edict?"

Shen Yunyan's smug look immediately turned sour, and she said in panic: "You - that's not what I meant!"

Fang Yonghao was shocked and said, "My dear, just look at the beauty carefully, why are you talking so much!"

"Come here, I want to buy this painting of a beauty!"

After Fang Yonghao made the announcement with great pride, he bowed to Shen Yiran and said with a smile, "I just want to ask Madam to write a word on it, okay?"

The writings, calligraphy and paintings in the boudoir cannot be leaked to others. Fang Yonghao is saying this in front of everyone, so it is difficult for Shen Yiran to refuse.

Shen Yiran pursed his lips and smiled: "You are joking, my lord. This painting is the masterpiece of the painters, not my own painting. How can I write an inscription on it?"

Fang Yonghao winked and smiled, "Madam knows what I mean. Anyway, I bought the painting, so I can let whoever I want write the inscription, right?"

Shen Yiran was waiting for his words when he heard this. He turned to the waiter and said, "The prince is very generous. Jiang Fei, why don't you thank the prince quickly?"

Jiang Fei frowned and bowed to Fang Yonghao with his head turned sideways.

Shen Yunyan sighed: "Jiang Fei, right?"

Jiang Fei stared at her coldly, without hiding any fear: "That's right."

Shen Yunyan knew clearly what tricks Shen Yiran was playing, but she had no way of exposing him. She was so angry that she didn't even want to look at him. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the waiter coming up with a plate.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness. I'll give you five hundred taels of silver."

"five hundred?"

As a new artist, this price is astronomical.

You have to know that an unknown painter setting up a stall on the street can only sell a painting for a few taels of silver.
