Chapter 712: National Beauty
Princess Huaning's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Why don't you make a few more clay figures of Sister Fuya? I'll have one too."
Shi Liu looked at Tang Bao, her eyes shining as she said, "Miss, I want to make one too. I'll give it to my grandparents when I get back. When I'm not around, they can take out the pottery figurine and look at it."
Shaoyao was also eager to try: "Miss, I also want to make one..."
Xia Siya waved her hand and made a bold decision: "We will all make some! Second brother, fifth brother, you two should make some too. You can give them to your sisters-in-law in the future, hehe..."
Xia Siming's face turned slightly red, and she wanted to retort that hers could be given to her brother-in-law, but after looking at Princess Huaning, she closed her mouth again.
Miss Bai may not be a member of the Bai family, but her sister is going to marry into the Bai family, and she can't let others laugh at her family for having no rules.
The old man selling pottery figures got a big order, so naturally he had to write down the appearance of several people.
"Miss, please take off your mask." The old man looked at Princess Huaning and said.
"You don't have to be mine." Princess Huaning said lightly.
The old man was stunned.
Tang Bao said, "Uncle, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked towards the bookstore next door.
"I'll go." Su Laowu said.
"Oh, okay." Tang Bao stopped and said, "Fifth brother, just buy a set. It will be useful later."
"I know." Su Laowu kept walking.
The simple conversation between the brother and sister left the people around them confused.
Xia Siming asked in confusion: "Sister Fuya, what is Fifth Brother going to buy?"
"Buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone." Tang Bao replied.
"What are you going to buy for the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" Xia Siming was still puzzled.
Before Tang Bao could answer, Xia Siya already understood.
So, he rushed to say, "Second brother, do you know that Sister Fuya's master is a master of painting?"
"Of course I know." Xia Siming nodded.
He couldn't help but know about Sister Fuya's affairs.
There's nothing I can do about it. My parents and sister at home always talk about my sister Fuya.
"Oh, then you understand?" Xia Siya said.
Xia Siming: “……???”
Suddenly I feel so stupid...
Because, he doesn't understand.
"Second brother, you really have become stupid from studying too much." Xia Siya shook her head and sighed.
He has no brotherly love and is rubbing salt into his own brother's heart.
Xia Siming: “…”
Who wants this sister?
He doesn't want it anymore!
Tang Bao smiled and helped Xia Siming out of the predicament.
"Sister Siya, my second brother just met me and didn't think about it that way for a while." Tang Bao said, "How can it be like you and I, who have lived and eaten together for many years? Even if I don't say anything, you can know what I want to do with just a glance."
After listening to Tang Bao's words, Xia Siming nodded repeatedly.
Sister Fuya is still so understanding!
A sister like this is a real sister!
"Sister Fuya is right. Second brother just hasn't thought about it yet." Xia Siming said righteously.
If I can deny that I am stupid, I will never admit it!
He also has to have some shame!
Although, he didn't think of it now.
But he didn't say it!
Xia Siya was also happy after hearing what Tang Bao said.
"Sister Fuya and I are in perfect sync!"
Xia Siya looked proud and complacent.
Princess Huaning looked at it, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.
Soon, Su Laowu walked out of the bookstore holding a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Two waiters followed behind him, carrying a table.
The table was set, and the pens, ink, paper, and inkstone were laid out. Xia Siming finally understood.
Sister Fuya is going to paint on the spot!
A pretty little girl, no, a little girl wearing a pig mask, was painting on the street. If she walked a little faster, she might accidentally bump into a scholar. Naturally, no one would care.
After all, the place is full of talented students who come to take the exam.
A little girl might be painting just for fun.
However, a scholar passed by and took a casual glance at it, and could not move his feet anymore.
Beautiful! So beautiful!
Although the beauty in the painting has not been fully painted, just by looking at her lively eyes, you can tell that she is a breathtakingly beautiful and peerless beauty.
Once the first person stops by, there will be a second, a third...
Soon, the table was crowded with people.
Tang Bao painted very quickly, the pen in her hand moving as smoothly as flowing water, outlining a noble, aloof, and beautiful Princess Yan.
"Oh my god! It's so beautiful!"
"This girl should only exist in heaven, there is no such beauty in the world..."
"It would be better if the Ninth Heaven Fairy came down to earth..."
A group of scholars couldn't help shaking their heads, nitpicking on the words, and looking amazed.
The others also looked obsessed, as if their minds were taken away by the person in the painting.
Although it is just a painting, it has become the white moonlight in the hearts of many people.
If Tang Bao knew this would be the result, she would definitely apologize and say - it's a sin.
Princess Huaning stood aside, looking at the beauty in the painting, biting her lip, tears glistening in her eyes.
Is this me?
This is my former self, my dream self!
"Could it be that there really is such a beauty in the world?" someone exclaimed.
Then, he looked at Tang Bao and said, "I'll buy this painting for ten taels of silver!"
"What a joke! You are teasing a little girl! I'll give you a hundred taels!" Someone sneered sarcastically.
"I'll offer two hundred taels!" Someone else immediately followed suit and raised the price.
"I'll give you two hundred and fifty taels!"
…
"I'll give you one thousand taels!"
A young man in gorgeous clothes directly offered a high price of one thousand taels.
There was silence all around.
Everyone looked at the young man in fancy clothes.
The young man in gorgeous clothes also showed an expression of determination to win on his face.
After all, a painting drawn by an unknown little girl on the street could be sold for one thousand and two taels of silver, which could be said to be a sky-high price.
However, Tang Bao glanced at the man in fancy clothes and said, "Do I look like I'm short of money?"
The man in fancy clothes: "...two thousand taels—gold!"
There were gasps coming one after another.
Two thousand taels - gold!
The people around were so shocked that their legs were shaking.
Tang Bao: “…”
Aaaaaa…I’m a little excited, what should I do?
It's not easy to meet such a rich and willful fool!
Xia Siya was also shocked.
You don’t know how expensive food and fuel are until you manage the household.
She was now forced by her mother to learn how to manage the household, and she also knew how much wealth two thousand taels of gold was.
"Sister Fuya..."
Xia Siya tugged at Tang Bao's sleeve and recalled the days when she followed Tang Bao to set up a stall and earn a few coins.
Or... they continue to set up stalls? Sell paintings?
Su Laowu frowned and said, "Brother, this painting is not for sale!"
After saying that, he covered the painting.
Tang Bao looked at Fifth Brother with admiration.
Sure enough, Fifth Brother is still Fifth Brother!
Tang Bao despised herself in her heart for a second.
How could you be tempted by just two thousand taels of gold?
No knowledge!
Fifth brother is right. This painting cannot be sold even for 20,000 taels of gold, let alone 20,000 taels of gold!
After all, this is a portrait of the Huang family princess!
Selling the princess's portrait, don't you want your head?
Tang Bao raised his pig-faced mask and said righteously, "My brother is right. This painting is a priceless treasure. I won't sell it!"
