Li Hengyi's painting skills were superb; with just a few strokes, the pond's edge sprang to life on the paper. He used bold and bright colors, making the lotus flowers on the painting dazzlingly vivid. Xie Zhinuan brought over the tea and, after one glance, was captivated by the artwork.
Admiration and envy rose in her heart.
"The painting is really good!"
There were also travelers who came to rest at the tea house and couldn't help but come over to look, showering him with praises.
Some even asked Li Hengyi if he was willing to sell a piece and offered a tip for his work.
Li Hengyi glanced at Xie Zhinuan and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright!"
The tip varied with each person; some offered several hundred wen, while an old gentleman gave a basket of eggs.
