After a period of time in Quyang City, seeing that the silver taels in their hands were getting less and less, the two of them could only try their best to find a way. As an eldest lady, Jun Anran really didn't know what she could do except eat, drink and have fun on weekdays; Xia Guang used to help the people in the town deliver babies to those domestic animals and help the doctor in the hospital with some small favors, but when she really got here, Xia Guang found that she didn't have any strengths to play. The domestic animals in Quyang City are delivered by special personnel, and the doctors in the medical hall like to recruit those who have studied medical science to help.

Xia Guang thought that he would not starve to death when he came to Quyang City, but judging from the current appearance, it seems to be a little difficult. Even if you retreat now and go back to the valley, it doesn't seem that simple.

"Brother Guang, look. Jun patted her on the shoulder and looked in one direction with a look of horror.

Xia Guang was attracted by her expression, and also turned his head to look over there. It was a corner of the street, and a few beggars fought to the death for a steamed bun, and the scene was simply fierce. Xia Guangse shrunk her neck, she didn't want to fall to the point of grabbing steamed buns with a group of beggars.

"Look at what to see, hurry up and find a way. Xia Guang glared at Jun Ran and said.

"Isn't this here to motivate you? Jun glanced at Xia Guang aggrievedly, she really didn't want to be reduced to being a beggar.

Xia Guang didn't have time to pay attention to her, she was thinking about how to get the money in her mind now, she looked back and forth, left and right, thinking about what to do.

Yes, they are now in the most lively place in Quyang City, Yumen City. It is divided into four streets, each of which is different. West Street is specially used for some small traders to set up stalls, and the things sold here are complicated and complicated, but as long as you choose quietly, you will always buy something that is agreeable; East Street is a place for pleasure such as taverns, green houses, and gambling houses; South Street is a place to sell special snacks, such as date pastries and tea snacks; North Street is much more elegant, and there are all shops, such as bookstores, painting workshops, jade shops, and silver jewelry shops, which are obviously specially provided for those who are rich.

Xia Guang thought about it again, and it seemed that no street was suitable for them. They don't have anything to sell on West Street, they don't even think about it on East Street, they can't even think about South Street, they have to buy ingredients first to make snacks, it's not cost-effective, and North Street is not to mention.

Xia Guang tragically found that they had come to this Yumen City, and they still couldn't do anything.

At this time, two men walked behind Xia Guang. The two men were talking regretfully, "It's a pity, I heard from the steward of Zhu Yanfang that Lin Lin'er has injured his hand recently and won't paint in the near future." ”

"Alas, yes, the caretaker is in a hurry now. ”

Lin Lin'er's paintings have won the hearts of our men, and every beauty he has painted is so vivid. Originally, there were only ten beauties who were painted by him as thirty or even forty or more, so it is rare to capture the beauty of people. Now I want to find another one, so where can I find it, unless the first painter of Heguo goes to paint. The other person continued, and from that tone, he heard that the painting skill named Lin Lin'er seemed to be very powerful.

"Alas, what's the use of talking so much, I can't see it lately. One sighed.

After Xia Guang heard this, he had a lot of thoughts, and it seemed that what these two people were talking about was a portrait of a beauty. And the person who painted the painting is very skilled, so you should go and see it yourself. Zhu Yanfang, as if I had seen it before.

"Brother Guang, Qu Shufang has just put up a sign at the door, saying that it is to recruit book copyers, I think the two of us can write well, why don't you go over and take a look?" Jun Yanran patted Xia Guang, who was still stunned.

Xia Guang said conditionally: "No, I'm going to Zhuyanfang." ”

"Huh?" Jun cried out inexplicably, she had never thought that Brother Guang would be able to paint. No wonder, no wonder she would come here thousands of miles away for that Xuanyuan Qingshui.

In the end, the two decided, one went to the fun bookstore to copy books, and the other went to Zhuyanfang to paint portraits.

When Xia Guang first entered Zhuyanfang, a shopkeeper came out to receive her, and after she said that she came over, the junior second hurriedly went to ask the steward to come out. The steward was a little hesitant about her at first, after all, their Zhu Yanfang's paintings were already famous in Quyang City and even the whole country, and he didn't want to be ruined because of a person of unknown origin.

Xia Guang also knew his concerns, so he asked them to prepare paper, pens and inkstones on the spot, and she painted in front of them.

After looking at her paintings, the whole person in charge of the steward smiled, and the painting was clearly in charge of himself, and the few brushstrokes were so expressive that they were very similar to him. She even drew a little him in the blank space, with a serious look on his round face, which was very cute.

Xia Guang saw him smile, and he was also very happy in his heart.

Xiao Er next to the steward coughed at the right time, and the steward hurriedly closed his mouth and returned to his previous serious appearance, "Miss Xia's paintings are quite so-so. However, we are short of people here, so you can try it first, but this case of money, it may not be too much, but it will not be too little. At the end of the month, if the painting is sold, add another 10%, how about it?"

Xia Guang frowned, feeling that the price seemed to be a little lower.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, the steward hurriedly persuaded: "Miss Xia, you only need to paint five portraits a month, and you can get such a sum of money, which is already very rich." ”

Xia Guang thinks about it, they also need money recently, and they only need to paint five paintings a month, which is not tiring. "Okay. It's just that five paintings are not too little. ”

"Miss Xia, the fewer paintings there are, the more valuable they are, you shouldn't understand this truth. The steward replied.

Xia Guang nodded clearly, and he also said that this famous painter would definitely not paint every day.

"Miss Xia is really sensible, so let's talk about some details clearly. The steward invited her into the back room to talk.

When everything is in place, it's already unitary time.

Xia Guang rushed to the Qu Bookstore to see how Jun was doing.

As soon as I arrived at the Fun Bookstore, I saw Jun walking out with his wrist flicked with a tired face.

When she saw Xia Guang, she regained her original vitality. "Brother Guang, are you all right so early?"

"Well, how are you today?" asked Xia Guang with a smile on his face.

"Alas, don't mention it, this job is really not easy to do, even if you copy books, you must concentrate on it, and you must not make a mistake in copying a word, otherwise you will have to start again. Not only are my hands sore now, but my eyes are still dizzy. What about you, how are you?" said Jun gloomily.

"Heh, I'm afraid that if I say it, you might be angry. Xia Guang smiled.

"How is that possible?" replied Jun Ranran. She didn't believe that painting would be easier than hers.

Xia Guang gave a general description of his situation, Jun was sad, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating." ”

Xia Guang saw that she looked tired just now, and couldn't help but worry: "Otherwise, you don't have to copy the book, the money I got should be enough for us to spend." ”

"No, Brother Guang, I can't rely on you and Senior Brother Feng for the rest of my life, although I am a little tired today, I am very happy, I finally have something I can do. Jun insisted.

"Oh well. Don't exhaust yourself. Xia Guang instructed.

"Don't worry. Jun waved his hand gloomily and suggested, "Let's go eat something delicious today, I'm dying of hunger." ”

Xia Guang smiled and nodded, and the two left hand in hand.

Not long after they left, a person walked into Zhuyanfang, and the man asked Xiao Er a word or two, and then left.

At this time, Feng Zhumo, who was in the dark, followed in the direction of the man's walk.
