Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Seeing her firm attitude, Xie Junyi sighed, "Boss, let her draw one. Here's the money."

Seeing a silver ingot in front of him, the boss nodded immediately and said, "Okay, okay, but don't cry if the painting is not good."

"would not."

Seeing a customer drawing sugar paintings, people passing by gathered around, wanting to see how the young lady painted.

Meng Xiyue scooped a spoonful of syrup and dripped it onto the drawing board.

When the old man saw her like this, he immediately shouted.

"Miss, this is not how you draw sugar paintings. How can you draw a picture with just a bunch of sugar?"

"That's right, I've never seen anyone draw sugar paintings like this before."

"She's not going to paint a pie for herself, is she?"

The people around couldn't help but laugh.

Only Xie Junyi looked at her lovingly, "Let her paint whatever she wants."

What's wrong with drawing a pie in the sky? It's the best pie in the sky.

But the smiles of the people around did not last long. When Meng Xiyue started to put a ring on the cake, everyone realized that she was really good at it.

The pie was drawn... no, the base, Meng Xiyue drew another base.

The difference is that she actually pulled up the base. For a moment, people around her exclaimed, is it possible to do this?

"It seems that the young lady has learned sugar painting and can even do this."

The old man nodded, expressing his recognition of Meng Xiyue's craftsmanship.

Next, Meng Xiyue painted trees, butterflies, birds, and various animals, which are common to everyone and are not surprising.

But what shocked everyone was that she actually put these things together.

All of a sudden, a building, surrounded by trees and animals, appeared in front of everyone so vividly.

This is not over yet, Meng Xiyue started drawing the next one.

"Is it a dragon?"

As the exclamation came, a majestic and domineering dragon appeared before everyone.

The dragon stood at the top of the pavilion, worshipped by all the beasts.

"For you. I remember your zodiac sign is dragon."

Xie Junyi looked at the artwork in front of him and found it hard to imagine that it was made of sugar painting.

"you…"

"Miss, I am willing to pay twenty taels of silver. Can you make one for me?"

"I'll give fifty taels."

"My zodiac sign is sheep."

People around began to rush to take out their money to buy sugar paintings.

Meng Xiyue shook her head. "I'm not the boss, he is."

After saying that, she pulled Xie Junyi away from the stall.

“How did you do so well?”

Xie Junyi could not take his eyes away from the sugar painting, it was just like a painting.

“I learned it when I was a kid.”

Meng Xiyue said perfunctorily, "This restaurant looks good, please invite me to try it."

Xie Junyi raised his head, looked at the four words "Ruyi Restaurant" in gold, and curled his lips, "This is the largest restaurant in Beijing. If you want to eat, let's go."

"Boss, I want a private room."

"Okay, sir, please go upstairs."

Smelling the aroma wafting from the restaurant, Meng Xiyue suddenly felt hungry.

She will definitely check out all the signs in the store later.

"Boss, please give us a private room."

"It's such a coincidence. The last private room has just been reserved by that guest. Sir, why don't you stay in the lobby?"

"You know our identities, and you dare to let us stay in the hall."

A woman's sharp voice reached Meng Xiyue's ears. She turned around and found that it was indeed an acquaintance.

"Yue'er?"

Jiang Chubai's family also saw her.

"Meng Xiyue, how can you be so shameless as a woman to chase him all the way to the capital."

Madam Jiang acted like an elder and scolded, "Our Chu Bai is excellent, but now he is going to be engaged to the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. It's useless for you to pester her."

It turns out that he was so anxious to break off the engagement with her and came to the capital for the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

"You are here with the governor, aren't you?"

Jiang Chubai had sharper eyes than his mother and immediately noticed Xie Junyi standing next to him.

At first, he was in a hurry to cancel the engagement, and he thought that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue knew that he was engaged and asked Xie Junyi to warn him.

But when he arrived in the capital, he found that the Minister of Revenue did not know any adult with the surname Yan, and even the big families in the capital did not have anyone with the surname Yan.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked. Now that he saw the two of them together, he was even more furious.

This governor had originally taken a fancy to Meng Xiyue and was trying to snatch her away from me.

"We have nothing to do with you. I have no relationship with your Jiang family either. If I see you again in the future, I will pretend not to know you."

Meng Xiyue was too lazy to explain so much to him.

"Wait a minute, let's not talk about what happened before. Give me your private room. I'm going to host a banquet for the Minister of Revenue and his family at Ruyi Restaurant today."

As he said this, he glanced at Xie Junyi provocatively, thinking that Xie Junyi would definitely give way when he heard the title of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Xie Junyi only replied with four words.

"We won't let it."

"Master Yan, you and my son are both officials in the same court, and we can still support each other in the future. Why do we have to make trouble over a private room?"

Jiang Xiucai tried to comfort him with a smile, but his words were full of threats.

"That's right. My son is the top scholar and the son-in-law of the Minister of Revenue. You will have to curry favor with our Jiang family in the future. If you don't know what's best for you now, you will regret it later."

Mrs. Jiang raised her chin and looked at the two of them graciously.

"To curry favor with your Jiang family?" Xie Junyi sneered, "There really is no one in the capital who is qualified for me to curry favor with."

"Master Yan, you must be new to the capital. It's okay if you don't understand many rules, but don't be arrogant and look down on others."

Jiang Chubai pretended to be regretful and said, "This official position bought with money can be easily lost."

There is no one with the surname Yan in this aristocratic family, and there has not been any Jinshi with the surname Yan in recent years.

Since he did not take the imperial examination and was not of noble birth, he must have bought his official position with money.

Meng Xiyue was almost dying of laughter at this weird family. It seemed that no family in the world was bigger than their Jiang family.

Mrs. Jiang is a country girl with no vision, but Jiang Xiucai and Jiang Chubai also have a look of superiority on their faces, which makes people want to try their luck.

"I will return these words to Jiang Zhuangyuan intact. You are a newcomer to the capital, and you dare to speak so arrogantly without even recognizing all the people. Be careful or you will kowtow and admit your mistakes later."

"Who do you think you are if I kowtow to you?" Mrs. Jiang said shockingly again.

"Chu Bai, what's going on?"

A deep voice came from behind.

"Father-in-law." Jiang Chubai turned his head and saw that it was the Minister of Revenue's family, and he quickly bowed.

A young girl next to the Minister of Revenue looked up at Jiang Chubai with shyness in her eyes.

"You can just wait in the private room. You don't have to wait here."

Hearing Liang Yingxue's words, Jiang Chubai's face turned red, and then he remembered that he had not found a private room yet.

"My dear, you have to make a decision for us. The private room we reserved has been snatched away by someone."
