"Brother-in-law, do you think there are any families in the county who would invite painters to their homes to paint murals?"
Si Chuyu raised an eyebrow when he heard this and asked, "Are you planning to ask Ning Anjun to paint a mural?"
Su Ningjie nodded, "Yes, my eldest brother can make money from murals to support his parents and younger siblings."
Si Chuyu reached out and carefully touched Su Ningjie's little head.
I really want to know how many ways to make money are in his little head.
"How about it, brother-in-law? Is there anyone who wants to hire a painter to do a mural?"
"It should be possible, but your eldest brother Ning Anjun is not famous yet. No one would think of hiring an eight-year-old to paint for him. Once your eldest brother goes to the academy and studies under a famous teacher, he will have a chance to become famous."
Su Ningjie frowned and said, "But I'm so young, and I can think of many ways to make money. I can follow my mother out to sell rare ingredients, and I can sell rare ingredients to you and Sister Xu, as well as the other eight restaurants. My eldest brother can also go out to negotiate with people. You also said that my eldest brother's paintings are beautiful, and you have seen my eldest brother's painting skills. Will you ask my eldest brother to paint?"
"Yes." Si Chuyu knew very well that as long as someone saw Su Ning'an's current paintings, someone would ask him to paint for them.
Just like how those villagers just robbed Su Ning'an.
"But your eldest brother is not famous yet."
"Then is there any way to make my elder brother famous?"
"I think your mother has a way. You can ask your mother."
Si Chuyu is not without a way, but Su Ning'an is still too young. There is no utilitarianism in the picture of cranes in front of him. It is all thanks to his rich imagination and the beauty in his heart that the painting can be brought to life.
Entering the world of fame and fortune too early and having his mind polluted by the secular world may affect his painting skills and even stagnate.
Since Mrs. Su could teach him how to paint, she would naturally have this consideration.
Even if Brother Jie doesn't listen to him, he will always listen to Madam Su.
Thinking of this, Si Chuyu smiled inexplicably. He had a way to control his brother-in-law.
If Brother Jie doesn't obey, he will go to Madam Su.
"Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Su Ningjie looked at his smile and felt a little strange.
"Ah...it's nothing, it's just that your mother is very powerful. Your elder sister and I want to learn from her and listen to her...it's getting late, we have to hurry back to the county."
"Wait, we need to pay the uncles their wages first."
Except for the Zhang family, He Jianzhang and three others were not paid. The other eight people were given extra silver as a reward because of their meticulous work. In less than 45 days, each of them received five taels of silver.
"Brother, don't paint on the wall on the left yet. Wait until I come back and you can pick up your brush and paint."
Su Ningan waved his hand and said, "I understand. I want to live in the new house with my third brother tonight."
Su Ningjie: !!!!!!
He wanted to get off the bus and not go back to the county.
After watching the Lu family's carriage go away, Su Ning'an took the fish bucket to the river and caught a few fish, which he put into the fish pond in the front yard of the new house.
Pick up the hoe and tidy up the vegetable garden and orchard in the backyard...
End of the Shen hour.
Xiao Lingyu put down his brush and instinctively reached to the right side of the drawing table to get his seal.
But, I found nothing.
She was so absorbed in painting that she forgot she hadn't taken her seal with her when her house was searched.
Well, giving gifts is meant to show your thoughtfulness.
I will not leave a name on this painting of the cranes representing fortune, longevity and happiness.
"Mom, I'm back." Xiao Lingyu had just finished framing the painting when Su Ningjie's loud voice reached his ears.
"Second brother, come with us."
Before Su Ningjie could jump into Xiao Lingyu's arms, he was abducted by Xiao Xier and Su Ningwen.
"Second brother, what do you think this is?"
Su Ningjie looked at the oven in front of him, which was taller than him and made of cement with a small iron door in the middle, like a small house. After being puzzled for a moment, he opened the iron door and a wave of heat hit his nose.
The inside is divided into two floors by iron pillars with equal spacing.
"Second brother, we burned it just now and it produced a lot of smoke. The oven has burned dry and will not produce smoke anymore."
"Is this an oven?"
Su Ningwen nodded, "Yes, mother wants to make a birthday cake for your grandfather."
"Where is the spawn cake?" Su Ningjie quickly glanced around.
"Mother hasn't started making it yet. She will do it tomorrow. It's a delicious treat, just like milk tea and fragrant dew, it's unique."
Su Ningwen said while staring at Su Ningjie's face.
Sure enough, when he said "unique", Su Ningjie's eyes lit up.
"It must be another profitable food."
Su Ningjie patted Su Ningwen on the shoulder and asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in making money?"
Su Ningwen smiled and said, "Since it's what my mother does, it must be profitable."
"Third brother, come with me. I have something important to tell you about making money."
After saying that, Su Ningjie pulled Su Ningwen to the east room in a hurry.
"Madam Su, why are you in the mood to paint today?" Si Chuyu glanced at the two brothers who were rushing past as he spoke.
"Isn't it your old man's birthday coming up? My husband and I can't go empty-handed, so we've decided to paint a picture to celebrate. The details are a secret for now, but it's pretty average. I wonder if the old man will like it?"
"Mrs. Su, you are too modest. Your painting must be beautiful. This is a thoughtful gesture. The old man will like it."
Si Chuyu thought of Su Ning'an's painting of cranes and asked hurriedly, "Madam Su, are you a disciple of Linyuan Jushi?"
Mr. Linyuan's calligraphy and painting were of great attainments and were very popular in Beiyi. Even the emperor loved his calligraphy and paintings.
She started learning painting at the age of eight. This man had just become famous in Kyoto, but he was not qualified to be her master at that time.
"Master Linyuan is very famous. He has very high standards for his disciples and does not accept female students."
