Carefree Scholar Chapter 19: The first pot of gold
"Do you know where I am wrong?"
Seeing Xiaohuan standing there with his head down, Li Yi pretended to be angry.
was originally just on a whim and helped the little maid draw a picture. After she took it out to show off for a while, Liu Ruyi also asked him to paint exactly the same picture, just paint it, but he didn’t even pay?
Brothers still settle accounts, let alone the sister-in-law!
What if the girls in the stockade come to him to paint? Although it doesn’t take long, Li Yi always feels that there is something uncomfortable in his heart if he does not pay for the painting...
White people do not pay for work, and people in Liuye Village are not particular about it.
The little maid looked down at her toes, rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, her little blushing blush, and she didn't speak. This kind of action would only be done when she made a mistake.
After a while, I heard the voice of Ruan Ruanuo Nuo, "Uncle, I know it was wrong..."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Okay, then what is wrong with you?"
The little maid raised her head after thinking for a while, and said weakly: "I shouldn't show off with my uncle's painting..."
Although she lowered her head to admit her mistake, the little maid didn't feel any tension in her heart.
After such a long time together, she has long known that my uncle is not so easy to get angry, and he is also very good to her, and seems to be better than to Miss and Second Miss.
The only time she scared her was when she hurt her hand while helping her uncle chopped vegetables. When the blood came out, she wanted to grab a handful of soil and sprinkle it on the ground. Her uncle lost her temper.
But, people in the stockade accidentally cut their hands or something, do they do this?
She only remembered that she was standing there and wanted to cry when she was aggrieved. Later, her uncle dragged her to clean the wound and asked for medicine from the young lady. Later, she also boiled a gauze in a pot and cut it with scissors. Put one on her, and every time she thinks of these things, the little maid’s heart is warm.
Although I don’t know why my aunt did that, she knows it is for her good. My aunt is a scholar, knows a lot and can’t be wrong...
Li Yi is not really angry. Seeing the little maid standing there with her head down and confessing her mistake, she waved her hand and said: "Go, go, pay attention later."
Liu Ruyi usually doesn’t know what she’s doing, and she can only see her every day when she eats. As for Liu Ruyi——Li Yi thinks it’s better not to see her. This small yard is just a small yard. Li Yi and Xiaohuan, for this little maid, Li Yi is even more familiar than his nominal wife, so naturally they will not blame her for this trivial matter.
"I see, my grandfather..." The little girl answered happily. When she walked out the door, Liu Ruyi happened to come in, holding a bunch of things in her arms.
Li Yi watched her walk in front of him, and put the things in his hands on the table in front of him with a "pop".
"Draw the same picture on these prayer lanterns."
Looking at the thick stack of lanterns in front of him, Li Yi's face gradually darkened...I really consider myself a free long-term job!
"Pop!"
There was another crisp sound, Liu Ruyi threw a bag on the table, and said lightly: "Each painting is ten cents, a lot of cents!"
After Li Yi was taken aback, his brows gradually stretched out.
"Deal!"
After so long in Liuye Village, I finally met a particular person. How good would it be?
Liu Ruyi is most uncomfortable with his kind of babble, after a cold snort, he turned and walked out.

"It's really a lion's mouth wide open. A painting cost only 30 cents, so I might as well grab it!"
"What about thirty cents, haven't you paid yet?"
"Huh, there is a face that says me, you pay faster than me when you pay!"
Below the Qiqiao Building that was about to be built, several women belonging to the Liu family were waiting there, and they looked a little unsightly, as if someone... robbed them of their thirty cents.
For these women who have not yet come out of the pavilion, the Qiqiao Festival is probably the most important festival of the year. They will fly and pray for the sky on the night of Qixi Festival, and at the same time make a wish, hoping to find a lucky man in the coming year Jun, for women in this era, this is directly related to their happiness in the latter half of their lives.
Therefore, even in a small matter, they do not want to be compared to others.
Xiaohuan and Liu Ruyi’s sky-praying lanterns are painted with "Magpie Bridge Meeting", which is obviously more beautiful than theirs and more in line with the theme of Qixi Festival. In this way, they have already fallen before they start to make a wish. Inferior.
If the Weaver Girl prefers Liu Ruyi's paintings, wouldn't it be OK for them?
It is terrible for women to be superstitious. What's more, these women are not educated in atheism like Li Yi. They are not superstitious... What do they believe?
In fact, Li Yi now begins to doubt the authenticity of atheism, and even things like crossing can happen. Who knows if there are ghosts and gods in this world?
Let’s not talk about superstitions for the time being. Comparing people have them. Since others have them, even if they can’t surpass them, they have to be equal to them~ IndoMTL.com~ Although they and Liu Ruyi and their close relatives are usually People who don’t like each other don’t like each other, but after all, it’s not a deep hatred. Put down and beg her to do things like this.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi agreed to agree, but he asked for thirty essays per painting, and declined to bargain...
They clearly saw that Liu Ruyi hadn't taken the money from the women who were close to her family. Although they were very unbalanced, they didn't have a lot of thirty essays. They asked for help. After all, they paid the money honestly.
Seeing Liu Ruyi coming from a distance, the women hurriedly walked over and asked.
"At this time tomorrow, you guys are waiting here, and I will deliver the painting."
got the desired answer from Liu Ruyi, and the girls left with satisfaction.
Putting aside the hatred with Liu Ruyi, they actually liked the painting very much in their hearts. It is not unacceptable to spend thirty essays on it.
After everyone left, Liu Ruyi took out his purse from his sleeve, weighed it down, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
At this time, thinking about Li Yi's cheeky face again, it doesn't even feel that bad anymore.
At the same time, Li Yi just finished counting the copper coins in the cloth bag.
"Thirteen paintings, there are only one hundred and twenty-eight texts, a profiteer! I am missing two pennies!" Li Yi's face was a little unhappy and put all the coins back, but soon smiled again. , Weighed the weight, the smile on his face was even worse.
Anyway, this is his first pot of gold in this world. Although the money is not much, it is also a good sign.
put down the purse and shouted to the door, "Little ring, come in and rub the ink!"
The little maid outside the door responded, and after a while, some charming figures ran in.
