Chapter 19: The First Pot of Gold

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

Seeing Xiaohuan standing there with his head down, Li Yi pretended to be angry and said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, he just helped the little girl paint a picture on a whim, but after she took it out to show off, Liu Ruyi also asked him to paint an identical one, just paint, and he didn't give money?

The brother still settles the account, not to mention the sister-in-law!

What if those girls in the village come to him to paint, although it won't take long, but after the painting is finished, Li Yi always feels uncomfortable in his heart......

People don't pay for their work, and the people in Liuye Village don't pay attention.

The little maid looked down at her toes, rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and blushed and did not speak, this kind of action would only be made when she made a mistake.

After a while, I heard the soft voice of Nuo Nuo, "Uncle, I know it's wrong......

Li Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Okay, then what do you say is wrong with you?" ”

The little maid thought for a while before raising her head, and said weakly: "I shouldn't show off my uncle's painting......"

Although she bowed her head and admitted her mistake, the little girl did not feel a little nervous in her heart.

After getting along for so long, she already knew that her uncle was not such a person who got angry easily, and he was also very good to her, and it seemed that he was even better than Miss and Second Miss.

The only time she scared her was when she hurt her hand when she was helping her uncle chop vegetables, and the blood flowed out, and when she wanted to grab a handful of soil on the ground and sprinkle it, her uncle lost his temper with her.

However, the people in the stockade usually do this when they accidentally cut their hands or something?

She only remembered that she wanted to cry when she stood there aggrieved, and then her uncle dragged her to clean the wound, and asked for medicine from the young lady, and later put a ball of gauze in the pot to boil, and cut one with scissors to wrap it for her.

Although she didn't know why her uncle did that, she knew that it was for her good, and her uncle was a scholar and knew a lot, so she couldn't be wrong......

Li Yi wasn't really angry, seeing the little maid standing there with her head down and admitting her mistake, she waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, let's go, just pay attention to it in the future." ”

Liu Ruyi usually doesn't know what she's busy with, 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 courtyard, Li Yi and Xiaohuan on weekdays, for this little girl, Li Yi is even more familiar with his nominal wife, so naturally he won't blame her for this trivial matter.

"Got it, uncle......" The little girl responded glutinously, and when she walked out of 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 hand on the table in front of him with a "snap".

"Paint the same picture on these prayer lanterns."

Looking at the thick stack of prayer lanterns in front of him, Li Yi's face gradually darkened...... I really think I'm a free long-term worker!

"Smack!"

There was another crisp sound, Liu Ruyi threw a bag on the table, and said lightly: "Ten cents per painting, a lot of money!" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"Deal!"

After being in Liuye Village for so long, I finally met a person who pays attention to it, how good is it to be like this earlier?

Liu Ruyi couldn't get used to his philistine face the most, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and walked out.

"It's really a lion's mouth, just a painting, it costs thirty yuan, it's better to grab it!"

"What about thirty dollars, haven't you paid it yet?"

"Hmph, and the face says that I, you pay faster than me!"

Below the Qiqiao Building, which was about to be built, several women belonging to the direct line of the Liu family were waiting there, their faces were a little not good-looking, as if someone was ...... robbed them of thirty dollars.

For these women who have not yet left the cabinet, the Qiqiao Festival is probably the most important festival of the year, they will be on the night of the Chinese Valentine's Day, release the lanterns, and at the same time make a wish, hoping to find a wishful husband in the coming year, for the women of this era, this is directly related to the happiness of the second half of their lives.

Therefore, even in a small matter, they do not want to be compared to others.

Xiaohuan and Liu Ruyi's prayer lantern is painted with a picture of "Queqiao Meeting", which is obviously more beautiful than theirs and fits the theme of Qixi Festival, so that they have already fallen behind before they start making wishes.

If the Weaver Girl prefers Liu Ruyi's paintings, won't there be nothing to do with them?

It is terrible for women to be superstitious, not to mention that these women are not like Li Yi who have been educated in atheism and are not superstitious...... Believe in what?

In fact, now Li Yi is also beginning to doubt the authenticity of atheism, even such a thing as crossing can happen, who knows if there are ghosts and gods in this world?

Superstition or anything aside, everyone has a comparison heart, since everyone else has it, even if it can't surpass them, it must be on par with them.

Although they and Liu Ruyi and people close to each other don't like each other on weekdays, after all, it's not a deep hatred, let go of it, and beg her to do such a thing.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyi agreed yes, but asked for 30 wen per painting, and refused to bargain......

They clearly saw that Liu Ruyi did not accept money from the women who were close to them, although their hearts were very unbalanced, but thirty wen was not a lot, and they asked for help, so they still paid honestly after all.

Seeing Liu Ruyi coming over from a distance, the women hurriedly walked over and asked.

"This time tomorrow, you wait here, and I'll send the painting over."

got the desired answer from Liu Ruyi's mouth, and the women left satisfied.

Putting aside the grudge with Liu Ruyi, in fact, they also like the painting very much in their hearts, and it is not an unacceptable thing to spend thirty yuan on it.

After everyone left, Liu Ruyi took out his purse from his sleeve, weighed it, and hooked the corners of his mouth with a trace of curvature.

At this time, thinking about Li Yi's philistine face, he didn't feel so hateful.

At the same time, Li Yi had just finished counting the copper coins in the cloth bag.

"Thirteen paintings, there are only one hundred and twenty-eight texts, profiteers! I'm missing two pennies! Li Yi put all the copper coins back with a somewhat unhappy face, but soon showed a smile again, weighed it, and the smile on his face was even worse.

In any case, this is the first pot of gold he has earned in this world, and although it is not a lot of money, it is also a good sign.

Putting down the money bag, he shouted out the door, "Xiaohuan, come in and grind the ink!" ”

The little maid outside the door answered, and after a while, some pretty figures ran in.
