Chapter 926: North and Love (9)
Gong Fu's hands were swift and her strokes were precise, as if every stroke was based on the position fixed in her mind.
The onlookers did not leave, curious about what the painting by this master would look like. Would it be as realistic as the portrait of Miss Zhang?
Some were so fascinated by the sight that they were reluctant to leave.
Every time the onlookers see her writing, they can’t help but marvel in their eyes and hearts!
A wealthy man finished the painting in less than an hour! The portrait he drew was unexpectedly lifelike!
Seeing such magical skills again, everyone was amazed again.
Another person stepped out from the crowd and asked, "Young Master, are there only three spots available per day? If I'm willing to pay a higher price, maybe we can add one more spot?"
After hearing this, Gong Fu suddenly had an idea and said with a smile, "Old sir, it won't work today. We must keep our word. We promised three spots, so that's it."
"However, the number of places for tomorrow has not yet been determined, so you can reserve one today."
"If there are more than three people booked, then the highest bidder wins!"
In this way, the three places will become a fixed quota of one hundred taels, and it will be auctioned, and maybe you can make more money!
Haha! Gong Fu laughed inwardly, and couldn't help but praise her own clever little brain.
Sure enough, the crowd was in an uproar and began to sign up and rush to grab the reservation spots.
In the end, the price of Gong Fuming's self-portrait remained at three prices: five hundred taels, five hundred and fifty taels, and six hundred taels.
Only spots for the second day are booked each day, so today's bookings are also closed.
Most of the crowd dispersed, and the news spread to every street and alley.
In the city of Beisha, there suddenly emerged a trend of expensive portrait paintings.
When the last person finished drawing, Gong Fu put down her brush, rubbed her sore wrist, and let out a long sigh.
After seeing off the three satisfied masters, she was finally able to go home with the money!
Finally, she can let Qingfeng, Qingliu, Daxixi and others live a good life!
If she had known that this skill could make her so much money, she should have started this business the day after arriving in Beisha City! Otherwise, those children wouldn't have suffered for so many days.
"Son."
After putting away her things, Gong Fu discovered that there were still two people who had not left the painting studio.
"Miss Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhang Yandan smiled and invited her to have dinner together.
"have dinner together?"
Gong He looked up and found that the sun had already set!
She was a little hungry, she hadn't even had lunch!
"I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, I have many younger brothers and sisters to take care of at home, so I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you."
After saying that, Gong Fu picked up her things and left, leaving only the table there.
This will be her stall from now on. Leaving a table here is equivalent to occupying her territory.
Zhang Yandan felt extremely disappointed when he saw her leave so abruptly.
"Miss……"
Xue'er could see that the young lady was heartbroken, and immediately became dissatisfied with Gong Fu's attitude.
"That young master is really going too far! Even if he refused, he should have been more tactful! He was so blunt, it's obvious that he was taking advantage of your good impression of him and got a little carried away!"
"Xue'er, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Yandan's face changed slightly. "When did you become so unreasonable?"
"I extended the invitation, and he declined normally. How could that be what you said?"
Xue'er pursed her lips, a look of apology appearing on her face, "I'm sorry, Miss, Xue'er just..."
I just couldn't bear to see her so lost and melancholy.
After all, her young lady's reputation is well-known in the circle of officials' wives. I wonder how many people want to marry her!
It was his blessing that the young lady liked him! How could he be so indifferent to the young lady's kindness and good feelings?
How blind!
"He just said that he has younger brothers and sisters at home. I guess the children have nothing to eat. Now that he's made some money, it's natural for him to rush back and bring some delicious food for the children! This is human nature, it's the way it should be!"
"It is precisely because of this that we can clearly see that the young master is a kind-hearted person who values friendship and loyalty!"
Xue'er sighed inwardly, "It's over, my lady has really fallen for that young man!"
When the crowd outside dispersed, a figure flashed on the nearby courtyard wall.
In the yard, the man calmly turned the soil and planted some new vegetable seeds.
After he finished, he fetched some water and washed his hands.
Suddenly I remembered something.
The shelter should have been ready, and Zhang Zhiyi had someone pick up the children. If she didn't see the children after she returned...
"Should you be anxious?"
He sighed softly, wiped his hands, and turned to leave.
Gong Fu bought a lot of delicious food, drinks, and some daily necessities, and had them all transported to the deserted temple on a cart.
After giving the money, she excitedly ran into the deserted temple, calling the names of several children.
But the strange thing was that whenever she called out, the children in the temple would come out to greet her.
But today, she called out several times, but no one came out to respond.
How is this going?
"Great joy? Second joy?"
"Dumplings? Yuanzi..."
"Qingfeng, Qingliu, where are you?"
"Stop making trouble, sister brought back a lot of delicious food! Come out and eat!"
"Sis has made money, and we can live a good life in the future!"
However, when she searched the entire deserted temple, she did not find a single person.
She panicked and was about to go out to look for him, but suddenly she found five men in black landing outside the deserted temple.
The logo on the clothes... was sent by the old man!
"What are you going to do?"
She stepped back warily, her eyes darting around, looking for an opportunity to escape.
"Miss, the leader asked us to take you home."
The leading man spoke, his face showing a cold and domineering expression that brooked no refusal.
"Take me back? Take me back to marry a sixty-year-old man?"
"Humph! Shameless! Dream on!!"
After hearing this, several people looked confused.
What marriage?
"Miss, did you misunderstand something?"
"I didn't misunderstand! I heard it with my own ears!" Gong Fu snorted coldly, feeling desperate.
"I can't believe that for the sake of his son's future, the old man would do such a shameless thing! He's not worthy of being called the leader of the alliance! Does he deserve it?"
The leading man knew she had misunderstood and quickly said, "Miss, this is a misunderstanding. When you go back, just ask the leader and he will explain the whole thing to you! By then, everything will be clear."
"I know very well! I won't go back!" Gong Fu took two steps back and took out a silver hairpin from her waist and put it against her throat.
"If you dare to force me, I will die in front of you!!"
"Miss!!"
Several people were frightened by her behavior and looked at each other, as if asking each other what to do.
"Miss, I have been ordered to take you back. No matter what misunderstandings you may have about the leader, whether you are willing to go back or not, I will take you back!"
After saying that, he glanced at the others, and then several of them walked towards Gong Fu, ready to take action.
"Don't come over here! Otherwise I will die..."
Suddenly, a white figure fell from mid-air, blocking Gong Fu and the men in black, and Gong Fu's voice stopped abruptly.
It's him!
When the leader saw him, his expression changed again, "You again!"
"She doesn't want to go, didn't you hear?"
