Young Master Sun asked, "Why is there an inscription?"
"Isn't it more interesting to have both pictures and text? Third Brother, you know I'm not very good at this, and I prefer things to be clear at a glance."
Seeing that Miss Sun seemed to have really focused on painting, the Third Young Master Sun thought it was good. He could calmly get through this period and wait for the overwhelming ridicule to subside before considering his Fifth Sister's marriage.
After what has happened, it seems we really have to settle for second best, but we should try to find a decent place to settle down, such as marrying into the Earl's family. Considering the strength and value of the Sun family, it is achievable.
Baron and viscount families are practically unacceptable; they're out of the question. I'd rather my fifth sister die at home.
Young Master Sun felt a pang of regret as he came to the Qiao family to buy a painting.
Qiao Zhizhi teaches classes in the afternoon and paints and receives customers who want to buy her paintings in the morning.
The original study was connected to the bedroom, which was a bit too small, and it was inconvenient because both men and women were coming and going. So, a spacious empty room was set up in the house to serve as her dedicated art studio and living room.
Upon hearing that it was Young Master Sun, she stopped painting and said, "I won't see him."
The relationship between the Sun family and the Qiao family was already sensitive. Now that the Lin family had already made the betrothal, and they were just waiting for the wedding day, she didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Young Master Sun said that he would buy the painting and leave without bothering us too much."
Qiao Zhizhi hesitated.
Qiao Lian'er was looking at paintings in the studio when she said, "Sister Zhizhi, anyone who comes to buy a painting is a customer. We can settle the payment on the spot."
Even though the Sun family and the Qiao family were already irreconcilable enemies, the third young master of the Sun family still came to buy paintings. Qiao Lian'er felt that there might be other reasons behind this.
Young Master Sun was finally invited in, but he felt a little uncomfortable due to the coldness from the Qiao family.
"What kind of painting would Young Master Sun like to buy?" Qiao Lian'er asked with a smile.
"It doesn't matter what kind of painting it is, all of Zhizhi's paintings are good, and her calligraphy is also praiseworthy. If there are inscriptions, that would be even better."
Every day, Qiao Zhizhi not only practices painting, but also calligraphy, because there are always times when she needs to add inscriptions to her paintings.
"The inscriptions are all for ink wash paintings; I generally don't inscribe oil paintings, nor do I like to inscribe them," Qiao Zhizhi said.
"Then let's do ink painting."
Qiao Zhizhi got up and led the Third Young Master Sun to Zhang Xuan's ink wash painting studio. The easels and walls were covered with ink wash paintings, exuding a rich aroma of ink. There were also some older paintings that had been rolled up and placed on the bookshelves.
She practiced ink painting even in different time zones, and as a result, her skills in ink painting continued to improve. She could not compare with those famous masters, but she was at least far ahead of her peers.
Sun Hetang didn't specify what kind of painting he wanted, so the Third Young Master Sun just picked one at random.
He would choose any title as long as the style matched his aesthetic and the wording was good.
I selected about twenty paintings in total.
Qiao Lian'er observed that when Young Master Sun was selecting paintings, he didn't seem to have any ulterior motives.
She couldn't help but ask another question: "Is Young Master Sun buying these paintings for himself, or for someone else? With so many paintings, are they being bought as gifts?"
Young Master Sun was at a loss for words. Sun Hetang and Qiao Zhizhi had completely fallen out. If he told them the truth, would he be kicked out right now?
He then said, "I want to buy them myself. Miss Zhizhi's painting skills are superb. These paintings will be of great collection value."
