Someone couldn’t help but move closer to her. “Quick, take a look at what’s on it.”
Miss Bao was inexplicably nervous, especially since everyone’s attention was on her. It made her feel as if she was holding a fragile item worth ten thousand gold coins.
After a long while, she held her breath and carefully pulled off the red string tied to the painting, spreading it out bit by bit.
Halfway through, she suddenly rolled it up again.
It made the hearts of the others standing beside her skip a beat.
Gu Yundong could not help but rub her forehead. It’s just a painting. Do you have to do this? Is there too little entertainment?
After a while, Miss Bao opened the painting again.
In the next moment, she let out a “wow” and her face was filled with obvious joy.
Those who were sitting further away heard this and became more curious.
However, they were no longer young ladies. They still had to be more dignified.
However, there were still young ladies of similar age who exclaimed, “So cute.”
Gu Yundong glanced at it. Oh, it was the Q picture. She had drawn it when she saw a large group of children flying kites in Yongfu Village last time. She suddenly had an idea.
They were all big-headed and small-bodied. They were pulling the kite string in their hands as groups.
There were also some who sat at the side and watched. Some were eating with food in their hands, some were teary-eyed and wanted to play but didn’t dare to. Some were playing pranks. There were also two children fighting with two stalks of grass sticking out from their heads.
Their postures were all different and vivid.
However, without exception, they all had big eyes and small mouths. They were even cuter than dolls, making one’s heart tremble.
Women had no intention of resisting such a cute thing. Not only did Miss Bao like it, but even the people beside her were the same.
Someone asked Gu Yundong, “Are the other paintings all like this?”
Gu Yundong shook her head. “No, there are only three or four of these.”
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they still rubbed their palms together, hoping that they could get one of these three or four paintings.
There were even people who discussed with Miss Bao and wanted to exchange with her.
Gu Yundong asked everyone to sit down. “I’ll get Wei Lan to bring a tray over. Everyone will have a share. One by one.”
Although everyone was anxious, they all sat back down.
As expected, Wei Lan walked past the crowd with a tray. At this moment, be it the guests on the second floor or the people in the private rooms, they all heard the commotion and came over.
There were also a few children among them, but they were all restrained by their elders and did not make a fuss.
Soon, someone drew a painting and opened it hopefully. Unfortunately, there was no such painting that she wanted. She was a little disappointed.
However, soon after, she became slightly happy.
“This seems to be a charcoal drawing that’s been popular recently? Is it a charcoal drawing? This drawing is too lifelike. Look, there’s a shadow here.”
The people around them all looked over, including Miss Bao.
The one in her hand was not a charcoal drawing.
When she heard that it was a recent trend, a madam said, “I’ve heard of this charcoal drawing. My son has been learning it recently. Sigh, if only I could draw it later.”
“How is this a trinket? This is clearly something good.”
“Isn’t it?”
Discussions broke out in the hall. Everyone looked at Gu Yundong in amazement.
The people in the carriage outside the door had been watching silently.
One of them could not take it anymore and said unhappily, “Madam, did I say anything wrong?”
