Meng Xing had a headache. With so many people shouting at the same time, it was like a noisy vegetable market. Where had the reserve of these princely ladies gone?
Meng Xing thought for a while and said with a smile: "Girls, I am just one person and cannot draw so many paintings at once. How about this, the one with the highest price will get it. Everyone write the price on paper and give it to me. I will choose three prices.
Tallest, how about painting a picture for the three ladies?"
If there is money to be made, Meng Xing will naturally want to make it, and no one will think that he has less money. Since these princesses and ladies want to spread money, he will naturally satisfy their wishes.
He still understands hunger marketing. If his works are too popular, they won't be valuable.
"Three people are too few, we must have five people. Just now Painter Wang also chose five people." The princess ladies shouted.
There are more than twenty princess princesses present, so the chance of having five is much higher.
Meng Xing had no choice but to say: "Okay, then choose five people."
The princess ladies were overjoyed. They took the slips of paper one by one and began to write the prices on them. They were afraid that others would see it and the price would be higher than theirs, so they kept it secret.
On the other side, Painter Wang had an ugly face. Just now, there were a lot of warblers and swallows surrounding him, which made him feel that the peak of his life was about to come. In the blink of an eye, he did not expect that the peak of his life would belong to someone else.
Moreover, he was going to paint paintings for free, but now these princesses and ladies don’t even want free paintings, but actually charge for them. And the price is even more expensive than the paintings he painted for those dignitaries.
Painter Wang was also a little unconvinced. He wanted to see how well the princess's bodyguard was painted, so he came over and took a look, and his face turned ashen.
This kind of painting method of real scenes was something he had never seen before, especially the lifelike portraits of characters, which looked as lifelike as real people, as if they were drawn from the same mold.
No wonder these princess ladies don’t even want free ones. They’ve seen better ones, so who would want his painting style?
At this time, the princess princesses handed the notes to Meng Xing. Meng Xing ranked the prices from high to low and chose five of them.
When Painter Wang saw the prices, he almost fell to his knees in shock. The highest one actually paid five thousand taels of silver, and the lowest one also paid two thousand taels of silver. It was a huge profit.
This is almost enough to buy two luxury houses with three entrances and three exits in the inner city of Beijing.
Lu Qingshu was also shocked. He didn't expect that these princesses and ladies were so rich, and they were probably willing to empty their entire family fortune just to paint a painting.
Moreover, this kind of scene was the last thing he wanted to see. This was originally an outing that he planned so hard to pursue the princess, but unexpectedly it became the place where this boy became famous.
So, Meng Xing began to draw portraits of these princess princesses. It took him two hours, and he was so thirsty that he finished five paintings.
The princesses and ladies who received the portraits were all overjoyed, as if they had obtained treasures, and promised to send the money to the princess's house for Meng Xing tomorrow.
Meng Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't need money urgently, he would never do such tiring things again.
At this time, the talented man who knew the guqin began to play the guqin under the instruction of Lu Qingshu. The clank sound sounded, which was particularly beautiful in the quiet lakeside, and seemed to dispel all the fatigue in his body.
For a moment, everyone followed the sound.
Lu Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief. Meng Xing attracted everyone's attention and compared him with Painter Wang. This was very detrimental to him.
Now that the sound of the guqin diverted everyone's attention, this kid couldn't stir up any waves. At this moment, he was a little bit angry that he didn't investigate clearly. He wanted Painter Wang to suppress this kid, but he did not expect that he would lift a stone.
He smashed his own foot and allowed this kid to get an advantage and behave well.
Meng Xing drank tea, ate cakes, and listened to the sound of the guqin, feeling very leisurely and at ease. Several princess ladies frequently looked at him and winked at him, but Meng Xing deliberately pretended not to notice.
It's so enthusiastic that I really can't stand it. These young ladies are drawing my paintings, not my people, how can I let them get what they want? Meng Xing complained in her heart.
【One, continue drinking tea and eating cakes.】
[Two, respond to the ladies, wink at them, and hold up your orchid finger.]
[Third, say to the princess princesses: "Young ladies, if you want portraits, you can, as long as you all marry me and be my concubines, I can draw you a Happy Together picture every day."]
Meng Xing: "..."
The second option immediately reminded Meng Xing of a sissy eunuch, holding up her orchid finger and almost spitting out a mouthful of tea. This was because she wanted to kill herself on the spot.
The third option is that you don’t want to marry a concubine with eighteen rooms, right? There are too many of them, and I’m afraid you want to give yourself a headache.
Moreover, if he talks about the Happy Together pictures, these young ladies might also spray him to death.
Thinking of this, Meng Xing chose the first option and continued drinking tea and eating cakes.
[The mission has been completed, and you will receive a random reward: Strength 1]
Lu Qingshu rolled his eyes and nodded slightly towards the talented man playing chess.
The talented man who knew how to play chess smiled slightly, walked to Meng Xing's side, cupped his hands, and said, "Sir, how about we play a game of chess?"
Meng Xing said: "Not interested."
"Does the young master know how to play chess?"
"Understand a little bit."
"Are you afraid of losing in the chess game? How about this, how about I give you a few pieces?" said the talented man.
Lu Qing wrote: "How about making a little bet? Mr. Meng has just earned a little money, and he just wants to bet on it. Let's play a game with one hundred taels, and whoever wins will be given one hundred taels of silver. In this way, Mr. Meng can
I’ll also be a little interested.”
Meng Xing glanced at it and knew that he was trying to win over the fire, but it didn't matter, and said: "Okay, just have a few dishes. But one hundred taels is a bit too little, so let's take five hundred taels of silver per dish."
Lu Qingshu was overjoyed and wished the other party would bet a bigger bet and said, "Okay, just five hundred taels of silver per dish."
The talented man was a little timid. He couldn't afford to lose so much money. He glanced at Lu Qingshu, who gave him a look to calm him down.
Meng Xing asked: "Do you pay for these five hundred taels of silver per game, or does this brother who plays chess pay for it?"
He could see that this talented chess player did not have much money, otherwise he would not seek refuge with a young prince like Lu Qingshu.
"Of course I am the one who will provide the money. Let this brother Gao accompany you when playing chess." Lu Qingshu said in a pretentious manner. Then he glanced at Princess Yangping, but saw that the other party's expression was still extremely cold and she did not interfere. She couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
Meng Xing said: "Okay, let's have a few dishes."
The talented man asked a servant to bring the chessboard, and the two sat down and started playing chess. Meng Xing held the white piece and played the chess piece first.
The talented man gave up a few pieces to Meng Xing, and then the game began in earnest. After one game, Meng Xing actually lost, and said: "I owe you five hundred taels of silver. Let's keep the account first, and wait until the five girls pay the money."
for you."
Lu Qingshu immediately beamed with joy and felt comfortable all over. He finally made the right move, winning all the money this kid had earned and making him cry bitterly.
The talented man also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this guy was a rookie and made many mistakes in his moves.
Another game was played, and Meng Xing lost again, this time losing a thousand taels of silver.
Lu Qingshu was even more excited, feeling that the free money appeared in front of him, and he could make a lot of money this time.
