The painting workshop isn't in the bustling part of town; it's not a single shop, but an entire street.
If the place we just passed is called the "commercial district," then within this gateway, you'll find the "calligraphy and antiques district."
The painting workshop has another name: "Market Lane."
The character for "market" is stylized here; originally, it was simply "imitation."
There are genuine items here, but most are fakes—it's all about sharp eyes and quick wits.
Some people come to hunt for the real deal; others just want the fakes.
As everyone knows, anyone daring to earn silver taels here is no simpleton; the waters run deep. That's precisely why Ning Hao and Liang Yuan chose to disguise themselves.
"Brother Chu, Tang Bai's authentic landscape is only available for viewing in the gallery. Should we go admire it first, or sell our imitation paintings?"
