Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened. Gong Jin was very serious when painting, and even devoted his whole mind to the painting, so every painting he painted seemed to be alive.
An Xili also has a lively temper. Because he is often outside, he is not rigid in his dealings with others. He directly praised: "How can it be possible that Mr. Gong's paintings are only worth a few copper plates? If I embroider them on the dress according to Mr. Gong's template, I can make it again." New styles of clothes, then I’m going to make a fortune.”
After Gong Jin finished the last stroke, he gently blew the ink on the paper, then handed it to her and said, "Thank you, Miss An."
"But is Miss An short of money?" Gong Jin asked.
An Xili stared at him, feeling a little embarrassed. How could a lady from a dignified second-rank official's family be short of money? However, her monthly income was not much. She wanted to open a ready-made clothing shop and needed capital. The second sister had money, but she did not support her. She came out to show off, thinking that she couldn't do such a big thing as opening a store.
Seeing that she was silent, Gong Jin said, "If Miss An is short of money, I have a few hundred taels here and can lend it to Miss An."
Suddenly, An Xili said in shock: "I see you only charge ten copper coins for painting a painting for someone. You save hundreds of taels of silver, how many paintings do you need to paint? You work so hard, how can I lend you money?" Where’s the money?”
"Let me tell you quietly, my grandmother has promised to lend me a thousand taels of silver as capital. Don't tell my eldest sister, otherwise she will think I am too young." An Xili said softly, squinting her big beautiful eyes.
Seeing her suddenly approaching, Gong Jin's ears instantly turned red and he said, "Don't worry, I won't tell her. They are not in Kyoto either. When they come back, your embroidery workshop may have opened, and by then the rice will be ready." Porridge, she can’t change it, so she has no choice but to let you continue to run the business.”
"You're right to say that. Why didn't I think of it?" A flash of light flashed in An Xili's eyes, and she added: "Except when I was learning embroidery, I have never had such a strong motivation as now. I must master embroidery as soon as possible. Let’s start the business of the workshop.”
"You two, it's closed." Li Yun'er suddenly popped up.
"I got it, Sister Yun'er." Only then did An Xili see that the sky had turned dark.
"Go back home. I'm tired after a long day. I want to rest." She rushed people away and said, "Your second sister didn't come today. Can you go back by yourself? If not, I will ask Feng Dong to see you off."
"No need, shopkeeper Feng has been tired for a long day." An Xili said quickly.
"Your eldest sister enjoys the most happiness. She left the medicine hall to me and went sightseeing with her husband, but it made me miserable." Li Yun'er said again.
Gong Jin said: "They went to handle the case and should be back soon."
Seeing that she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes, An Xili said quickly: "Sister Yun'er hasn't had dinner yet. It's still early anyway, why don't we go find a restaurant to eat."
"No." The food in the restaurant outside is not as delicious as Yu Wenjing's. "Aunt Zhou has cooked the rice. You can eat and then go back. I will go to sleep for a while so I won't disturb you."
Li Yun'er popped up again and said: "I'd like to trouble Mr. Jin to send Li'er back to the house. Although she is still young, she looks like a flower and is not safe on the road."
An Xili felt embarrassed when he heard what she said, "The officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are patrolling all night. How can it be unsafe? Sister Yun'er, please go and rest."
So, the two looked at each other, and An Xili ran to the kitchen again, but there was no food left.
Gong Jin added: "I know a wonton shop that tastes particularly delicious. How about I treat you..."
An Xili opened her mouth in shock, "Please invite me...to be alone..."
