Xia Tian ran out of Lingyun Pavilion in a flash, then stopped and patted his hot cheeks with both hands.
This Chen Nian is becoming more and more seductive!
Ningxiang and Ningxue chased out and saw their wife slapping her cheeks, stamping her feet and spinning around.
"Madam, why are you running so fast?" Ningxue came over trotting.
"That's right, look, his face is all red!" Ningxiang followed and glanced at Xia Tian.
"It's okay, let's go, Mu Feng is waiting for us at the door!" Xia Tian said, feeling embarrassed to look at the two girls, and turned to walk towards the outer courtyard.
Only after the three of them got into the carriage did she feel the temperature on her face was no longer so high.
Unexpectedly, she, an old lady who had seen the world, was actually seduced by a twenty-year-old boy!
Mu Feng was driving the carriage in front and asked them through the curtain, "Madam, where are we going first?"
"Let's go have breakfast first, find a place that tastes good."
"Madam, I happen to know a wonton shop. I heard it's delicious and there are a lot of people lining up every day."
"Okay, let's go to that one."
When the three of them arrived, there were indeed many people queuing up.
After waiting for a while, the wontons came up. Xiatian took a bite and found that they were indeed delicious.
She savored it carefully and could tell what seasonings were added to the wontons.
Sure enough, her sense of taste has also been greatly enhanced.
After trying it, she had a better idea of it. Maybe after a while she would be able to figure out the proportion of each seasoning!
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they asked Mu Feng to take them to Caiyunfang.
Caiyunfang is a shop that specializes in selling paints. It has a wide variety of products and is very complete. It is said that it can also customize paints according to customer requirements.
Standing in front of the quaint and elegant Caiyunfang, Xia Tian looked up at the three characters "Caiyunfang" written in a flamboyant style on the plaque and nodded secretly. It was indeed the largest paint shop in the capital, and the strength of their family was revealed everywhere.
If I open my own store in the future, I will have to have it of this standard.
As soon as she entered the door, Xia Tian was enveloped by the mixed smell of various pigments, which gave her an instant sense of familiarity.
She had basically spent more than ten years of her previous life smelling this scent.
Xia Tian walked around the store first. Ningxiang and the other two didn't understand what was going on, so they just followed behind and watched.
When she had finished looking, she asked a clerk over and bought all the paints she needed before she strolled out.
Mu Feng delivered the purchased paints to the carriage.
A few of them followed Xia Tian to a place that specialized in selling calligraphy and paintings.
There happens to be a calligraphy and painting shop on this street that has been in business for many years, called Yayizhai, not far away.
A few of them did not take the carriage, but walked over leisurely.
Xia Tian discovered that there were quite a few women walking on the street, and he didn't see them covering their faces with scarves or anything like that. It seemed that this environment was not that harsh on women.
Xia Tian entered Ya Yi Zhai, and the shopkeeper immediately came over to greet her, "Are you looking for calligraphy or paintings? We have all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and we can also accept custom orders."
"Oh? Can I take a look first?" Xia Tian wanted to first understand the demand for calligraphy and painting in this era, and the styles they like, so that she could know whether her works could be sold at a high price.
"Feel free to look around." The shopkeeper smiled and gestured for invitation.
Xia Tian took a slow look around, and finally had a better idea of what was going on. He took the long box from Ning Xue's hand and showed the shopkeeper the puppy painting she had drawn yesterday. "Shopkeeper, do you sell paintings like this in your shop?"
The shopkeeper leaned forward and examined it carefully for a moment. "We don't have anything of this style. I wonder which master created this painting?"
"If it's this kind of painting, will your store accept it?" Xia Tian did not answer the shopkeeper's question and continued to ask.
"Of course I will. Do you want to sell me paintings?" The shopkeeper was puzzled. Judging from the customer's attire, he didn't look like he was short of money.
"I had this idea, and I wanted to ask, if it was a painting like this, how much would your store pay for it?"
"Although this painting is lifelike, the colors are monotonous. I will buy it for a maximum of twenty taels per piece. If it is a famous artist, the price will be different." The shopkeeper thought for a while and said.
After hearing this, Xia Tian felt that the price was fair, but still far from enough for her to buy a big house. Even if she sold ten paintings a month, it would only be two hundred taels of silver.
When will she be able to buy a house?
"Boss, I'm not selling this one. I came here today to ask, if I come to sell paintings in the future, do you think this would work?" Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "I'll bring the paintings over and sell them on your behalf. I'll give you 20% of every painting you sell."
"Okay." The shopkeeper nodded, so he wouldn't have to bear the risk of not being able to sell it.
"Okay, thank you, boss."
After they left Yayi Studio, Ningxiang and Ningxue asked in confusion, "Madam, are you going to sell paintings?"
"Well, I need to make some money on my own. I can't just rely on you, the prince." Xia Tian turned around and reminded them, "Only the three of us need to know about this. You can't just refuse to go, understand?"
"Okay, got it!" The two nodded.
Although the two of them did not understand what the Madam said about not relying solely on the Prince, now that they had followed the Madam, they were her people and would definitely follow her lead in everything.
They strolled around for a while, and Xiatian bought some mounting tools and materials, drawing paper, various brushes and other painting tools.
He found a place to engrave seals and had one engraved for himself. He had lunch outside before taking a carriage back to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
However, the seal cannot be taken away immediately and you have to wait two days to get it.
