"How come you, a gentleman, are you just like my useless husband, and you don't care about your wife at all!"

"Let me tell you, your daughter-in-law was bullied by a pair of grandchildren when she sold sugar paintings today, do you know?" Xiao looked at Liu Zhan with condemning eyes.

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know about this."

"And what about that know? Have you comforted your daughter-in-law? Did you buy her something to compensate? Did you say she worked hard today?"

"You weren't there, you didn't have time to support her, how could you not make up for it afterwards? She worked hard to sell sugar paintings, isn't it for your family? Huh?" She clapped her hands and said angrily.

Liu Zhan was silent, because his intuition told him that he couldn't tell him about sending someone to chase down the grandfather and grandson.

Seeing that Liu Zhan didn't speak, Na Xian thought that she was right, and said bitterly, "Your daughter-in-law has worked hard for this family, shouldn't you show it a little?"

"I know that you young people have just come out to work hard, and you don't have any silver taels, so I am considerate of you and will not accept you silver taels. It's good for you to return the things, don't you look down on you?"

Liu Zhan looked confused, not knowing how to deal with this kind of human sophistication.

He wanted to ask for help from George, but the woman pulled him and kept saying in his ear that he wouldn't let him go.

"Look, take this bowl of tofu back to your daughter-in-law, let her eat happily, and this cloth, you find a tailor shop and give your daughter-in-law new clothes." As he spoke, he pointed to Qiao Qixin, who was seriously painting candy on the opposite side, and said, "Look at this dress on your daughter-in-law, I don't know how long she has been wearing it, crumpled, listen to the words, and get her new clothes!"

Liu Zhan looked at the pleated dress on Qiao Qixin's body, and wanted to explain to Na Xian that this dress was designed and made by Qiao Qixin herself, and it was not wrinkled because she had worn it for a long time.

But the look in that woman's eyes ...... Well, he gave up explaining.

Liu Zhan was really not good at dealing with similar enthusiastic people, so he returned to Qiao Qixin with a cloth and a purse.

Qiao Qixin was drawing, and felt a shadow hanging down above her head, and when she looked up, she found that it was still Liu Zhan.

"What's wrong? Well? Why didn't you return this cloth?" Qiao Qixin looked at the cloth in Liu Zhan's arms and couldn't help but be surprised.

Liu Zhan was also very helpless, and repeated what Na Ma had just said to Qiao Qixin.

After listening to this, Qiao Qixin looked at the pleated dress on her body and fell into deep thought.

She knew that her pleats were not good-looking, but she had worn them for a long time......

Is it her problem, or is it Na Ma's problem......

Qiao Qixin supported her forehead, quickly finished the painting in her hand, and then took the cloth purse from Liu Zhan's arms, and instructed, "You take a look at the stall here, I'll explain, and these sugar paintings, all of them are fifteen copper plates, remember?"

"Well, I remember." Liu Zhan nodded.

Qiao Qixin hugged the cloth and crossed the road to the tofu flower shop opposite.

"You've misunderstood, the two of us are not poor." Qiao Qixin handed the cloth to the girl with some tears and laughter.

The woman said that she would not accept anything, "Oh, she knows what you young people think, and she was also young, you can keep this cloth and use it to make two clothes yourself!"

"Ma, I really don't need to ......" Qiao Qixin was a little helpless, trying to explain, "Ma, we are really not very poor, it was just a whim for me to come out to paint like this, we understand your kindness, this is not necessary."

"Oh, young people have a good face, you understand, don't worry, this cloth should be given to you juniors, keep it with peace of mind, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." When she was only Qiao Qixin, she was also thin-skinned and refused to accept it.

Qiao Qixin was helpless, and shirked a few more words, seeing that she really couldn't shirk it, so she could only go back to the room.

"Qixin." Liu Zhan, who was sitting at the back of the stall, called out, and then pushed the thirty copper plates on the table to Qiao Qixin, "Someone just came and bought two sugar paintings."

"Okay." Qiao Qixin nodded and put away the thirty copper plates.

"Didn't you make it?" willow

Zhan looked at the cloth that Qiao Qixin was holding in his arms, and then got up to make way for Qiao Qixin.

Qiao Qixin said "um", and then put the cloth away, a little helpless, "That woman just thinks that we are thin-skinned and refuses to accept it, so she won't take it back at all."

"That's it, let's wait for tomorrow, let's hire some people and go to the stall to buy more tofu flowers, and we should help her get back to her capital, how about it?"

"Okay." Liu Zhan nodded, no objection.

Georgette sat on a chair and continued to paint sugar paintings.

In the next period of time, a few more people came to buy candy paintings, not much, but it doesn't matter, the real traffic is at night.

At night, the lights are bright.

The nightlife that has not been seen for a long time has just begun.

The cries of all kinds were more than twice as loud as during the day, and in order to be able to see clearly, Qiao Qixin also put up lanterns on the stall.

The flickering candlelight, Qiao Qixin's eyes hurt a little.

"If you're tired, don't draw." Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin worriedly and pushed a cup of iced mung bean paste.

"Okay...... Qiao Qixin glanced at the bamboo pole that was almost filled by herself, thinking that it was enough to sell for one night, so she took the cup of mung bean paste and drank it in small sips.

Not far away, a noisy noise came.

"That's it! She's so beautiful with her little figures!"

Well?

Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised her eyes to see that the bean paste was still in her mouth.

"Hello sister, I'm bringing my sister to ask you to paint candy!"

It's the young lady who is looking for Qiao Qixin to customize during the day.

Qiao Qixin was a little confused, she looked behind the eldest lady, followed by about a dozen men and women, dressed like rich and noble.

"Ah......" Qiao Qixin put down the mung bean paste, wanting to say that she didn't draw customized, only those that were painted, but the next sentence of the eldest lady instantly made her hold back what she wanted to say.

"We're all here to draw custom drawings! But because it's dark now, it's not easy to draw, so we want to discuss with you, can you do it for five taels of silver each?" The eldest lady looked at Qiao Qixin with burning eyes.

Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded before Liu Zhan, "Do!"

Joke! Five taels of silver! Ten men are fifty taels of silver!

Fifty taels of silver! How long does it take for her to save up!

Liu Zhan frowned slightly, "It's dark now......

"It's okay, it's okay, you go buy another oil lamp, I can paint!" Qiao Qixin pushed Liu Zhan out, for fear that he would disturb his good deeds.

"Qi Xin, this is not good for your eyes," Liu Zhan's face was serious, "Don't paint, I'll give you fifty taels of silver tomorrow."

Not only Qiao Qixin heard it, but the eldest lady next to her also heard it.

She's packing up with her friends! Said that this stall owner painted a particularly beautiful painting! This will suddenly pop up a man who says he won't paint? What does it mean to save face?

So, the eldest lady put her hand in, frowned, and said angrily, "Who are you? Why didn't she draw? I brought so many people here, and I paid a high price, why did you let us run for nothing with a word?"

This eldest lady doesn't know which one it is, and it is estimated that she is not familiar with Liufu, so naturally she will not know what Liu Zhan, the adopted son of Liufu, looks like.

She only knew that this man wanted to save her face! I want her to run for nothing!

Absolutely impossible! Of course, unless the stall owner refuses, she will not force people to paint her.

Liu Zhan saw that there was a girl on the other side, so he endured it and didn't make a move, and replied, "Now it's dark, only the oil lamp is illuminated, and the flickering light is not good for her eyes, even if you pay for it, it can't stop me from persuading her not to take it."

Qiao Qixin was a little helpless, afraid that the two would quarrel, so she said, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I'll paint, I'll definitely paint, but there are a lot of you, can you only paint half?" The rest of the people, I'll help you draw them tomorrow?". z.br>

As she spoke, Qiao Qixin also patted the back of Liu Zhan's hand and signaled him not to make trouble.

"Well, that's fine." Neither does the eldest lady

What is arrogant, she also knows that it is dark, and painting at this time is really bad for her eyes, so she agreed.

As for not being able to get off the stage or something...... Hey, they're all friends, it's a big deal she'll invite them for a drink later.

The eldest lady turned to discuss with her friend, and in a few moments she walked to the stall with the other two.

"Sister, the three of us painted, and the price is still five taels of silver." The eldest lady said.

Qiao Qixin was shocked, and then nodded violently, "Okay!! I'm sure I'll paint you beautifully!!"

"Qixin......" Liu Zhan still wanted to persuade, but was covered by Qiao Qixin.

"Shhhh Georgette is serious, and her eyes are full of desire for money.

Liu Zhan's voice was entangled, and finally he sighed and reluctantly agreed.

"Come on, come on!" After Qiao Qixin persuaded Liu Zhan, she pulled the chair and waved to the eldest lady excitedly, "Which of you will come first?"

"Well, you guys first, I've done it once during the day." The eldest lady thought for a moment and let her two sisters go first.

The two sisters rock-paper-scissors, and then chose the first one.

The first one to come out was a lady with waist-length hair and big eyes that were very beautiful.

Qiao Qixin scooped a spoonful of syrup and asked, "What do you want, young lady?"

"Hmm, request?" The eldest lady with long hair and waist thought for a moment, "Can you help me draw bigger eyes and smaller face?"

"No problem!" Qiao Qixin agreed.

How could there be a problem? Five taels of silver are in front of you, how can there be a problem!

Qiao Qixin squinted her eyes, using the flickering candlelight to route the line as accurately as possible.

Suddenly, there were two more candles flickering in front of me.

Qiao Qixin squinted her eyes and looked up, and found that it was Liu Zhan, who was holding two oil lamps in his hands.

"Huh? You're going to buy oil lamps?" Qiao Qixin was stunned, she didn't even notice Liu Zhan leaving just now.

Liu Zhan nodded, did not speak, and sat quietly behind Qiao Qixin after setting up the two oil lamps in his hand.
