Since Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Zhizhi were not present, the Qiao family did not know how to proceed with the sale, so they invited everyone to the warm pavilion for tea.

"Second Madam, how did you and your husband raise such an outstanding daughter? Please share your secrets with us."

Some people humbly sought advice from the Wan family.

Mrs. Wan never imagined that she would be treated with such respect in her life.

"It's because we have a sickle at home, and it's also because Zhizhi works hard and is ambitious. I don't know anything about painting," Wan replied simply.

Everyone almost forgot one person: the princess. Yes, Qiao Zhizhi's innovation is so amazing and incredible that it's something most people simply can't do.

The Qiao family's success today is mainly due to Qiao Lian'er's efforts, and she probably also helped Qiao Zhizhi a lot.

But no matter what, Qiao Zhizhi really learned something. She painted in front of so many people at the Prince of Guangping's mansion, which dispelled all doubts.

Those exhibits are indeed her works.

Wan recalled that Qiao Zhizhi had stayed in her room for a day and a half without coming out, and Qiao Lian'er had been bringing her meals. Could it be that she was preparing for this exhibition?

She thought her daughter was just being willful, but it turns out she was playing a much bigger game.

The two sisters returned, and the guests immediately came out of the warm chamber and surrounded them.

Not wanting to steal Qiao Zhizhi's thunder, Qiao Lian'er made an excuse to leave.

"Miss Zhizhi, your oil paintings are so good, we've come to buy them from you."

"I heard you're going to open a classroom and recruit students. Can we sign up first?"

None of the paintings sent to the Prince of Guangping's residence for exhibition were brought back. The Prince of Guangping hoped to display them in the exhibition hall for a month so that more people could view them.

This was a good thing for Qiao Zhizhi, so she naturally agreed.

I currently have over a hundred nice oil paintings on hand.

She had no idea how to price it, so she went to discuss it with Qiao Lian'er.

"We can't set the price too low. Now that your paintings are recognized by everyone, it proves that they are valuable. Only by setting a higher price can we meet everyone's expectations. Otherwise, you might be looked down upon."

Qiao Lian'er considered for a moment: "Based on the length of time the painting took, its size, and the difficulty of the technique, let's set the price between one hundred and one thousand taels. We can set it higher later when the skill level improves."

Those who came to request paintings were either from high-ranking families or wealthy merchants, possessing wealth that they could not spend in eight lifetimes. It was said that the lowest price was one hundred taels, and the highest was no more than one thousand taels, and they all expressed that they would buy at least ten paintings.

For a newcomer just starting out, this price isn't exactly low, but Qiao Zhizhi's paintings have amazed everyone since their debut, so setting this price is very considerate of everyone.

It was both respectable and didn't take the opportunity to make a fortune, which won people over.

Upon seeing that their family had produced a great painter, the Qiao family was overjoyed. They didn't even bother to eat the food and wine that was laid out on the table; they all came to help sell the paintings.

When the paintings were displayed, the guests swarmed forward.

"I'll choose first, don't push me, I'm in front."

"I was here first, so it's my turn to choose."
