After Gong Jin closed the stall, he asked again: "Ms. An just asked me if I can paint other things besides portraits. Do you want to paint something? I can't do anything else. I have spent more than 20 years thinking about it." They are all used in reciting poems and painting, so this skill is not wasted."
An Xili was also a little embarrassed and said quickly: "I am not doubting the master's painter. Please don't misunderstand me."
"To be honest, I am planning to open an embroidery workshop and I really need a painter. I have never learned to paint, so this stumped me."
When Gong Jin heard this, he understood: "Miss An, do you want me to help you draw the pattern?"
An Xili nodded, "Anything that can be drawn, I can embroider, but I have never learned to draw." She even learned to read and write later.
She added: "But how does Mr. Gong charge? I will pay the wages. I see that Mr. Gong's life is quite tight. Don't open the back door for me just for the sake of my eldest sister and delay Mr. Gong's business."
Seeing that she was outspoken and cheerful, Gong Jin said, "I still need to take the exams for academic honors, so of course I need money, so I came to set up a stall to earn a few copper coins."
It was only after he became a commoner that he realized that a penny could stump a hero. I really don't know how they spent their extravagant life in the past. There was no time when they didn't spend a lot of money. It's ridiculous to think about it.
Suddenly, An Xili breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is the best, no one of us will treat anyone badly."
"You Miss An Mansion is really weird. You and your eldest sister have very similar temperaments. Neither of you likes to trouble people." Gong Jin said.
"My eldest sister taught me well. She taught me to be self-reliant, so I had the opportunity to learn embroidery. Without my eldest sister, I might have been..." An Xili has been stubborn since she was a child, but what's the use of being stubborn? A concubine with a low status, without the help of her eldest sister, she is nothing.
Gong Jin knew that every family had its own sutras that were difficult to recite. This was not only the case for various aristocratic families, but also for the royal family.
After all, he was picked out from the dead. Speaking of which, An Xiyue was also his savior.
Suddenly, he found a resonance with An Xili.
He said: "Miss An, if you need help painting anything, just ask, and I will repay Miss An for her life-saving grace."
When the maid saw Miss Li chatting animatedly with a man on the street, she quickly stopped her and said, "Miss Li, you have forgotten Madam's instructions. Let's leave quickly and avoid interacting with these scholars." Miss Li was still young, so she was afraid I followed the old path of the second lady.
An Xili glanced at her and whispered: "Of course I can trust a friend who can be close to my eldest sister. I am worried about not being able to find a painter. Isn't this a ready-made painter? His craftsmanship is so good, so don't worry about it. I know what's appropriate." "
This silly girl is worried that she will have a private life with someone else. She will not follow her mother's old path.
So, An Xili calmly said: "Mr. Gong, how about we make an appointment to discuss the details. The location will be at Anxin Medicine Hall. My second sister is there, so it's convenient to talk."
Seeing that she was very excited, Gong Jin also said: "Okay, I'll take my leave now. I also made an appointment with my teacher to listen to his lectures."
At this time, An Xiqiu returned home from the medicine hall and happened to see An Xili standing on the roadside, so she came up and said, "Li'er, what are you looking at?"
