Just returned to the Li Mansion, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, how can Wan Ning have the heart to cooperate with Brother Ziang's rhythm. Previously, when Gao Ziang asked about their life's events, she just hugged his arm, leaned against him, and did not give any response.

Wan Ning put all her belongings back in their place, and everything in the Li Mansion returned to the way it was before she was kicked out. All the subordinates are under the dispatch of Uncle Zhong, and they will return to you.

The people of the entire Li Mansion were like fish that had been thirsty for a long time and returned to the sea, and they were all active.

Gao Ziang, as before, arranged a lot of his own people in the Li Mansion.

Next, the entire Li Mansion is thinking about their livelihood, because they only have an empty house and no source of income.

On this issue, Uncle Zhong discussed with Wanning for a long time. Wan Ning understands that her expenses and the salaries of the people in the house add up, and every month is a lot of expenses. There is nowhere to scratch the silver right now.

Wan Ning picked out a few priceless ornaments and handed them to Uncle Zhong and asked him to sell them to tide over the difficulties in front of him. But Uncle Zhong recognized at a glance that these things were all left by the old lady.

He knew that in fact, the young lady was also reluctant, but she never let the subordinates in the house be wronged, not to mention that those who could stay were loyal. Uncle Zhong put all of these in the pawnshop first, looking forward to redeeming them one day when they are developed.

The subordinates are very considerate of Wanning, the master has never treated them badly before, and now there are difficulties, so they should share the joys and sorrows, think more about the master, and even only half of the salary in some months.

Following Wanning, especially after moving back to Li's Mansion, she had food and shelter, and then accepted a little money to buy necessities for life to maintain her basic livelihood. The rest of the money was left to Wan Ning, after all, she had to maintain such a big family business.

Of course, Wan Ning realized that selling handicrafts was not a long-term solution, not to mention that those things were left behind by her parents. She also knew that the people in the house sometimes did odd jobs to earn some scattered silver taels, which was absolutely impossible to put on hold, and no matter how much she trusted them, she would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

But now, Wan Ning understands that everyone is trying to reduce their financial burden.

She had to find a way to earn money. Didn't she think that her paintings used to sell for a lot of money? Even a painting when I was a child sold for a lot of silver taels. Father and master Zhiyang often praised that those collectors can say that all the paintings they are proud of are robbed.

Now that she has an idea, she happily locks herself in the house and paints every day, looking forward to selling her paintings to feed the entire Li family.

But where does Wanning know, this time and that time.

How long has it been since I painted? Wan Ning herself can't figure it out, so many things have happened in the Li Mansion, where is there still leisure? My hands are a little rusty. But after all, the foundation is there, and after practicing a few pieces, my hands become proficient, and I am not so disobedient.

Compared with the previous painting skills, it seems that they have also improved a lot, perhaps because of the precipitation of time.

After painting a few works that she was more satisfied with, she enthusiastically handed over the paintings to Uncle Zhong and ordered him to bring a few people with him to sell the paintings at a good price to solve the dilemma of the Li Mansion.

This has to be put on hold in the past, when the Li family was in power, the people who bought the paintings were too late, and the legs ran very diligently. I had already gone to the house to ask the second lady if she had any new paintings recently, and she was willing to pay a high price to buy them, but she actually took the opportunity to slap Li Zhenghang.

The difficulties of the Li family, Gao Yunran saw it in his eyes. She herself will also make some embroidery for large families and earn some broken silver. You must know that although Gao Yunran is a concubine in the Gao family and has no status, she doesn't need to do these difficult tasks. said that female red is the basic requirement for young lady, and she also fishes for three days and dries nets for two days.

After marrying into the Li family, Li Zhenghang took good care of her because of the Gao family. Where did she do all this?

Naturally, she will have some complaints. Gao Yunran also knew that it was his brother Gao Junming who plundered the Li family's property. When she gets tired of doing work, she will run back to Gaofu to ask for an "explanation".

In the face of her aggressiveness, Gao Junming was extremely calm: "You just go back to Gaofu to live." ”

"Brother, I'm already married, how can I go back to my parents' house to live? If I don't live with Wanning, Wanning will feel lonely, not to mention that Wanning said that I am the master of the Li family, and I am nothing when I go back to the Gao family. ”

Gao Yunran couldn't take back the Li family's property no matter how much she said, but when she was leaving, the Gao family gave her some silver taels. She didn't want it, Wan Ning would definitely not agree when she knew it, and she didn't want the Gao family to feel that she was going home to get the silver. But she just wanted Wan Ning to have more money, so she accepted it without telling Wan Ning.

A few days passed, and Uncle Zhong and a few subordinates wandered around the antique calligraphy and painting market every day, but not a single painting was sold. Uncle Zhong didn't dare to face Wanning when he returned to the house every day, and when Wanning asked, he just prevaricated a few words, saying that he wanted a higher price.

But Uncle Zhong told Xiao Feiyan about this situation, hoping that the people around Wanning could give her a few words and paint more works that could be sold.

Wan Ning is extremely confident in her work, so Xiao Feiyan feels very embarrassed. She had no choice but to tell Young Master Gao about Miss's embarrassment, hoping that he would lend a hand.

On that day, Xiao Feiyan, who had been looking forward to it for a day, finally waited for Gao Ziang at the concierge in the afternoon. "Young master, the slave has something to tell you, let's go to a place where we can talk."

Gao Ziang led her to the steps in the southeast corner of the Li Mansion. "What's wrong?" Gao Ziang asked suspiciously.

"Young master, the slave told you, don't tell the young lady that I said it!"

Gao Ziang looked at her without saying a word.

"We don't have any money left, but Mademoiselle won't let me tell you. Every woman dreams that when she is in trouble, a man steps on a colorful auspicious cloud to save her. But the young lady didn't let the slave tell you. ”

"Why?"

"Needless to say, she doesn't want to use your money. When you don't come, the young lady actually locks herself in the house every day to paint, trying to sell some silver taels. Miss's jewelry is also deserved, sold and sold, but she is reluctant to sell any of the jewelry you give her. The other women in the house made some female celebrities for others and earned some scattered silver taels to make a living. The rest of the subordinates are also doing odd jobs for others. This is a big taboo for large families. ”

Hearing her say this, Gao Ziang still sighed in his heart, only to hear Xiao Feiyan say again: "Young master, there is one more thing, the slave wants to tell you, I hope you can help our young lady." ”

Gao Ziang, who had not yet eased up, immediately looked at her again with puzzled eyes.

"Actually, Miss's paintings don't sell at all. Uncle Zhong has been running away for a few days, and he has taken it back as it is, and he doesn't dare to face Miss. In the past, when the old man was still alive, the Li family was powerful, and some people were too late to stammer, and Miss's paintings were very popular, which was also an opportunity to tie up the Li family. But now, some buyers, whether they are collectors, are afraid to avoid it, how can they buy a painting of the daughter of a criminal minister? ”

Xiao Feiyan said again: "There is another reason why Miss's paintings can't be sold. The people finally lived a few days of peace, and most of the popular songs on the market praised virtues and whitewashed the peace, especially at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Uncle Zhong inquired and learned that the so-called famous collection was just bought at a high price, sent to the palace, and presented to the emperor. Some people are not even collectors, they don't know much art, but they want to be elegant. Like Miss, due to misfortune, there seems to be a bit of gloom in the work. The thoughts and feelings of the characters are either confused or resentful, which leads to the unpopularity of the work as a whole. Uncle Zhong said that this is called the market. The slave maid is telling you this, hoping that the young master can find a way for our young lady, help our young lady, and by the way, help us people, so that we can explain to our young lady. Miss Wan is just trying to make ends meet. ”

Gao Ziang fell into self-blame, and then sighed: "Don't worry, I will find a way." ”
