Gao Ziang sat on the steps and pondered for a long time. Wanning has not felt lacking in money since she was a child, and now that she has fallen to a low point, she will definitely feel that her life has also fallen to a low point.

He looked at Xiao Feiyan, and there seemed to be blame in his tone: "Yan'er, you should have told me about this kind of thing earlier, even if Wanning didn't let you, you have to think about what to tell me and what not to say." And now you have to wait until you can't hold on to it. Wanning is destined to be my person, and she can't be trapped in life. ”

Xiao Feiyan felt a little ashamed and lowered her head.

"I don't mean to blame you blindly, I know that you are absolutely obedient to Wanning, and sometimes it is normal to forget something. Forget it, I won't pursue it this time. ”

"Thank you, young master, knowing that this time is also the light of Miss, do you want the slave maid to serve Miss wholeheartedly and get through the difficulties with her."

After hearing this, Gao Ziang returned to his body and looked forward with his eyes: "It's good to know." ”

But there was still infinite sadness in his eyes. Xiao Feiyan knew that the young master must be worried about Miss Wan, how should she live a life without money? He could not give her two taels of silver.

Xiao Feiyan sighed again: "In the past, when the old man was here, there was never a shortage of money to spend, but Miss casually sold one or two paintings, which is enough for us to eat for more than half a year." ”

"Don't you also know that those people are here to talk to Uncle Lee?"

"But compared to the current situation, the contrast is too great. Although the slave doesn't know how to draw, she thinks that Miss Wan's current works are really interesting and thoughtful, why don't those people know how to appreciate it? On the contrary, I like some superficial works without thoughts and feelings. ”

Gao Ziang's eyes lit up with a hint of determination: "A thoughtful work should be handed over to someone who can really appreciate it." You don't have to be anxious, and you don't have to be presumptuous. I'll take care of the rest, and I'll figure it out. You don't have to be too discouraged, in the eyes of some people, although Wan Ning is the daughter of a criminal minister, it does not mean that her paintings are completely unmarketable. It's just that the silver may have to be sold for less, for example, to some unknown collector. Because of her father, her paintings could not be made public, let alone sent to the palace, so they could not be sold for a high price. As for the issue of style, we must also believe that we will definitely find like-minded people in this world. ”

"Thank you, young master."

"Let's go home, I'll go see Wanning." As soon as the two of them took a few steps, Gao Ziang remembered again: "By the way, don't let Wanning know about these things, just let her create with peace of mind." ”

"Young master, the slave understands that we have been hiding it from Miss all along."

Gao Ziang came to Wanning's house, and if the door of the room was closed, he must have been painting. He knocked lightly on the door: "Wanning, are you there?" ”

Wan Ning is indeed still painting seriously in the room. She heard her brother's voice and didn't show any signs of panic, and there was nothing wrong with him coming to see her drawing. "Oh, is it Brother Ziang? Come in. ”

"Sister Wan, it's me, I'm going in."

Gao Ziang pushed the door in.

"Brother, you're here, look at the picture I just painted."

Gao Ziang approached and hugged her gently.

Wan Ning was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" Tell me to give me some advice. ”

In the past, when the Li family was prosperous, the two studied painting together and pointed at each other. I even joke from time to time, saying that the other party's painting is not good or bad. At this moment, Gao Ziang knew that he should not give Wanning advice.

The deviation of style is not a shortcoming, any style should exist, and it has the value and meaning of its existence. Since it is a personality, there must be people who like it, and there must be people who don't like it.

Also, he can't let Wanning be hit.

He buried his head in Wanning's neck and shoulders, stared at the painting with both eyes, and showed an appreciative look: "With Wanning's painting skills, I think anything is very good." ”

Hearing such admiration, Wan Ning leaned in behind him, a smile appeared on her delicate face.

The overall scene she painted was a pear orchard, with only one girl facing away from her back, one of the girl's hands slightly raised above her head. It was like greeting someone, but there was no one in front of her. Or maybe the girl wants to grab something, but her palms are empty. It is not difficult to see her confusion and hesitation.

"Wanning, are you feeling confused about our future?" Gao Ziang suddenly asked.

Wan Ning turned around, hugged him, and gently leaned against his strong chest: "It's good that there are still you." Without you, I don't know where to put my soul. ”

Wan Ning's answer was reassuring to him.

Back in Gaofu, Gao Ziang thought a lot about how to improve Wanning's situation. What's more, the Li family's current embarrassment, my father is indispensable!

First of all, he instructed his subordinates to secretly buy all of Wanning's paintings to solve the urgent needs of the Li Mansion. and ordered everyone involved not to let Wan Ning know, and all the paintings he bought back were not put in his room, he was afraid that Wan Ning would find out.

He and Yi'er cleaned up a room in the house that they usually don't need and no one else will go to, and specially put Wanning's paintings.

Wan Ning put the paintings in front of him one by one, and he could feel that she was expressing all her feelings, many of which were profound, but he still understood them at a glance. All Wanning's emotions, the loss, hesitation, everything, what did he not participate in? Naturally, I know it. Only those who really understood her were qualified to appreciate her paintings, and he even felt that Wanning's paintings were too precious to be bought with silver.

At this time, he understood that he didn't just buy these paintings to help Li Fu, everything about Wanning should belong to him.

Of course, Gao Ziang also hopes that Wanning's paintings can be recognized by others, which is very important to Wanning. She was very interested in painting every day.

Using the identity of the young master of the Gao family, it is not difficult to trade a few paintings in private. But as soon as I heard that it was a painting of the Li family's small family, I knew that it must be the down-and-out Miss Li family who was short of silver, which also gave the other party the opportunity to lower the price.

As Gao Ziang expected, in desperation, he could only sell it cheaply. At least selling it is also an encouragement to Wanning, who knows that her work has social significance.

If you want to sell for a high price, it is really difficult to sell it in the capital. With the capital radiating outward, he thought of other states and counties, such as Huainan, and even Jiangnan. Since ancient times, there have been many talented people in Jiangnan, and perhaps the creative environment on the periphery is relatively relaxed, and the thinking is more active, and the degree of tolerance is higher.

He instructed his three capable subordinates to ride a fast horse to Huainan with Wanning's painting and a glimmer of hope of his own. Ten days later, the carrier pigeon came with good news, saying that the buyer had been found, and the deposit had been paid, just waiting for the transaction.

In just one month, several of his subordinates returned with a full load, not only earning silver, but also bringing back the transaction voucher signed by both parties. This is what Wan Ning expects the most.

Gao Ziang told Wan Ning the good news as soon as possible, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on her face.
