He doesn't know what friends, lovers, and home are.

Even if this silver was given to him, it would probably be like a stone in his hands.

He had nothing he wanted to buy.

Just like Qiu Nu, in the previous life, I wanted to find a good family for Qiu Nu to marry into.

But she just wanted to stay by my side, thinking that she would have nowhere to go if she left me.

"Okay, I'll keep it for you first. If you need it later, come and get it from me."

Jiang Wan took the purse back.

Zenu nodded.

Jiang Wan looked behind him, "Your ant ran away."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Zenu looked back and found that the original toy had disappeared.

Didn't take it to heart.

After all, nothing had ever belonged to him.

Jiang Wan went out of the house to meet the person Fu Yan chose for him, and when he arrived at the place, he saw two female painters.

After chatting, I learned that these two people usually paint portraits for the government office.

Jiang Wan was not going to draw an ordinary picture, so she first gave them some time to let them draw a cat according to their ideas.

Both of them were stunned. They usually painted portraits. Even if the noble ladies came to them, they would usually ask them to draw the style of dresses or hairpins. It was the first time they saw someone asking them to draw a cat.

However, he knew in his heart that this was Lord Fu's wife, so he didn't show any expression and started painting directly.

After a while, Jiang Wan saw the paintings of the two people. As he expected, they were just ordinary paintings according to the external lines.

It's lively enough, but not lifelike enough.

Jiang Wan asked Yunxi to take out the things he had brought with him before going out.

The two painters looked at the thing wrapped in cloth in Yunxi's hand.

Then the little maid took out some black things that looked like burnt charcoal.

But it was smaller and wrapped in a white cloth strip.

Jiang Wan gave the two of them two simple charcoal pencils that he had made himself.

"Now use this to color your cat drawing."

The two painters didn't know what this was for, and one of them, who was a little bolder, questioned, "Ma'am, we've already painted it."

Jiang Wan nodded, "I know, you all draw well. Try using this to draw the boundary between light and dark, and use this to draw the hairs in the places where you didn't use brush and ink."

Although the two thought Jiang Wan was talking nonsense, they still did it for the sake of her status.

Jiang Wan first taught the two how to hold a pen and gave them some brief explanations, then let them express themselves.

At first, the two were a little stiff, but later they became more and more skilled, and they felt that this thing was much better than the pens they used.

Jiang Wan looked at the two people drawing seriously and nodded.

Yes, it turns out that you can only be happy if others do the work.

Jiang Wan knew that he could draw it if he picked up a pen and practiced for a month or so, but it would be better to pay someone else to draw it for him than to draw it himself.

After they finished, they looked at their own paintings in amazement.

Jiang Wan looked over and saw that these two people were undoubtedly talented.

The first time I used charcoal to draw, I was able to produce a good result.

However, the transition is still a bit stiff. Jiang Wan believes that as long as they practice diligently every day, they will be able to achieve the desired effect in no time.

Jiang Wan glanced at Yunxi, and Yunxi immediately gave each of them five taels of silver.

The two men held the silver in their hands, and they didn't expect that they could get such a generous reward for just one painting.

"As long as you master the technique, I will pay you again. The amount depends on how good your final result is."

The two smiled at each other and were happy to listen to Jiang Wan. "Thank you, Madam. We will not let you down."

Jiang Wan finished dealing with all the matters here.

After a period of leisurely days, Fu Yan would go home only after Jiang Wan fell asleep at night, and leave again in the morning before Jiang Wan got up.

It happened that on this day, Mu Ningzhi delivered the news.

It was said that Mu Cixuan had returned to Beijing, bringing the person she wanted with him.

Jiang Wan is invited out for dinner.

Mu Ningzhi also specifically mentioned that they were eating at Wanlan Restaurant.

Jiang Wan was still worried that it was Mu Ningzhi who told Mu Cixuan that she opened Wanlan Restaurant.

He hurried to Wanlan Restaurant.

Seeing that Mu Cixuan didn’t mention Wanlan Restaurant the first time he saw her, she knew that Mu Ningzhi probably didn’t mention it either.

Only then did he feel relieved and go to see Mu Ningzhi.

Mu Ningzhi gave her a mischievous smile, "We haven't had dinner together for a long time, let's go."

Mu Ningzhi pulled Jiang Wan to sit down.

"How is Sister Wanlan doing in the mansion? Is she being bullied?"

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "In such a big mansion, I just stay in my own courtyard. Who can bully me?"

Mu Cixuan obviously didn't believe it. "On the day Fu Yan issued the decree, he spent a huge sum of money to redeem Su Liqing. The whole of Shangjing knows about this. Where does this put you?"

Jiang Wan knew that Mu Cixuan had always treated her and Mu Ningzhi as his biological sisters since they were young.

What he said about Fu Yan was also true. "Brother Mu, don't worry. Su Liqing is not a threat to me now."

"It's one thing that she doesn't pose a threat, but Fu Yan can't openly keep a mistress outside and not take you seriously at all."

Jiang Wan didn't say anything, knowing that he and Mu Cixuan couldn't even explain clearly what happened between him and Fu Yan.

Then he changed the subject, "I heard that this restaurant has a few new winter products recently. Why don't you try them all? They won't be sold if they're out of season."

This was the first time that Mu Cixuan came to this restaurant. He didn't expect that after being away from Beijing for such a few months, so many things that he didn't know about would happen in Beijing.

"What new products? They are just gimmicks of these restaurants. I guess it's just a change of name but the substance remains the same."

"Ahem." Mu Ningzhi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this, and secretly glanced at Jiang Wan's eyes.

Jiang Wan didn't take Mu Cixuan's words to heart, because she knew that was just his personality, carefree.

"We'll know if it's just a different soup or the same medicine. Anyway, I'll treat you to this meal."

Mu Cixuan frowned, "How can I let a girl like you treat me when I'm here?"

Jiang Wan personally poured tea for them both, "This time I'm the one asking Brother Mu for help, so of course I have to be the one asking, and you are not allowed to snatch it from me."

Mu Cixuan originally wanted to go to the one they used to go to most often.

His sister kept praising this new restaurant, so he had no choice but to come.

After coming in, I do feel that the decoration is different from other places, but I don’t think a new restaurant will be able to flourish here.

Jiang Wan seemed to be very familiar with this restaurant now. She could tell the taste of any dish, so she couldn't help but ask, "Do you come here often?"

Jiang Wan ordered a set meal and added a few desserts. She turned to Mu Cixuan and said, "Yes, Brother Mu, you can try it out. If you don't like it, we can change it."
