Chapter 482 This name sounds quite nice

Gongsun Yue stood quietly by the side grinding ink, watching Lian Xiang turn his dirty table into a beautiful painting.

"Good."

"Great."

Someone clapped his hands.

An old man came over and said to them, "I saw what happened just now. I think there is nothing wrong with what this young man did. Although I have never bought your painting before, I admire your talent."

"It just so happens that I also have some dirty old furniture at home. I wonder if you can also come to my house and paint a few strokes on my old furniture."

The old man looked at the conditions as ordinary, but he gave a very high reward.

"I can give you ten taels of silver for these furniture in our house."

This is a big business, better than Gongsun Yue selling paintings here.

Gongsun Yue nodded and said, "It's late today, and I can't come to visit you. Why don't you leave your home address and I'll visit you tomorrow?"

Hearing the old man's words, many people gathered around and said, "Our furniture is very old, but we can't bear to part with it. Can you paint each of our old furniture?"

Making a set of furniture is actually not expensive. How much can ordinary wood cost?

What is really expensive is the craftsmanship. The price those craftsmen ask for is very high.

If there is no craftsman in the family, making a set of similar furniture will cost at least ten taels of silver.

If there are many people in the family, they need a lot of furniture, and the wood used is more expensive, it will be even more expensive.

Without changing the furniture, you can make the furniture in your home more lively, and even more beautiful than before. Naturally, many people are willing to do so.

They all found Gongsun Yue and asked him to paint in their homes.

Gongsun Yue naturally agreed to all of them and wrote down their addresses.

After those people dispersed, Lian Xiang couldn't help asking, "Aren't you the Minister of Revenue? Why are you so free? Do you still have the mind to come here to paint?"

She has met many high-ranking officials. They are busy with official business every day and have little time to go home.

On the other hand, Gongsun Yue, instead of going to the Ministry of Revenue to handle official business in broad daylight, has time to set up a stall on the street and hide his identity to be bullied by others. Isn't he too idle?

Gongsun Yue pulled the corner of his lips helplessly: "Although I am the Minister of Revenue, I don't have to do everything myself. I just need to arrange the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Your Majesty is not the kind of person who forces people to work hard day and night. As long as the job is done well, His Majesty will not restrict us."

"So Lord Gongsun came out to experience the sufferings of the world after handling official duties?"

Experience the sufferings of the world.

How ironic this is.

The daily life of ordinary people is suffering for the powerful.

The powerful can still withdraw after experiencing it and live their happy lives, but they have to take the opportunity to deal with a few people they don't like.

But what about the common people?

Once they make a mistake in their duties, they will be thrown into jail by these nobles who experience the sufferings of the people.

The nobles denied the lives of these common people based on only a brief encounter.

Although Lian Xiang still spoke in a gentle tone, it contained a subtle sarcasm.

Gongsun Yue was packing up his stall and paused when he heard this.

"Miss Lianxiang, I am not here to experience the sufferings of the world."

"I have really encountered some difficulties. Now I have no place to live and I can't get enough food."

"Even this table, and these pens, ink, paper and inkstone are all borrowed from friends."

Lianxiang looked at Gongsun Yue in surprise: "You were fired, weren't you?"

"I wasn't fired, I was just kicked out of the family."

"I left the house."

Gongsun Yue shrugged and said: "Now I shouldn't be called Gongsun Yue, I plan to change my name to Sun Yue in the future."

"Don't mention it, this name is quite pleasant to the ear."

He was happy in the midst of suffering, and seemed to be very satisfied with this name.

No wonder.

Gongsun Yue, who always cared about his face, would set up a stall here wearing clothes that didn't fit him.

She thought Gongsun Yue was here to experience the suffering of the people.

Somehow, Lian Xiang suddenly felt sorry for Gongsun Yue.

People like Gongsun Yue were born to be rich and not to suffer these hardships.

"Although I don't know how unhappy things happened between Lord Gongsun and his family, family members shouldn't hold grudges overnight. If you have thought it through, you should go home early and don't create a rift with your family."

Speaking of family members, Lian Xiang seemed a little envious.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, young master. My family was very wealthy and my mother treated me very well. But one day, my family fell into trouble, my father became a criminal, and my mother died of depression. After my mother's death, I was sold to Yangliu Tower by my family."

"It was then that I realized that my carefree life was earned by my mother. If my mother was gone, I would have nothing."

"I often feel that I am not good enough to my mother. I am always rebellious and disobey her, which makes her very angry. Now I think about it and I wish I could go back to my youth and teach myself a lesson."

Lian Xiang raised her eyes, and the figure of Gongsun Yue was reflected in her clear eyes, as if her eyes could only focus on Gongsun Yue.

Gongsun Yue's heart was as soft as a ripe fruit.

"Don't worry, Miss Lianxiang, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the limits."

Gongsun Yue put away all the things.

He put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in a small bundle.

He walked to Lianxiang's side with the bundle in a very natural way: "Let's go, Miss Lianxiang, I'll take you back."

This time he was not accompanied by a servant, and walked alone beside Lianxiang.

Although there was a certain distance between the two of them, he could clearly smell the fragrance of Lianxiang, as if he was holding Lianxiang's hand at this moment.

The spy who passed by the sugar man seller stopped in his tracks.

"Boss, can I make a sugar man myself?"

The boss smiled and said, "As long as you give me the money, I will do whatever

you want." Gongsun Yue called Lian Xiang and said, "Miss Lian Xiang, please wait for me."

He simply asked about the method of making the candy man, and then he started to make the candy man seriously.

Lian Xiang watched from the side, and saw that the candy man went from being blurry at the beginning to becoming more and more exquisite.

The boss looked at the candy man and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful candy man."

"How about this, I will return the money to you, and give you twice the money, and you can leave this candy man to me."

If it were an ordinary rich man, he would definitely not agree to the boss's proposal, and couldn't help but feel that the boss humiliated his Feng Gu.

But Gongsun Yue agreed immediately.

"Okay."

Gongsun Yue handed the original candy man to the boss.

Although he knew that the candy man could be melted, the boss still carefully put the candy man away, as if it was not a candy man that could be painted, but a treasure that could be preserved for a long, long time.

Gongsun Yue smiled, and it was hard to tell that he was a young master of a wealthy family.
