In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Yi got dressed and came out from behind. She caught a glimpse of Mammy holding a reddish handkerchief in both hands and putting it into the brocade box.

Ah Hua was serving the princess to comb her hair with Ah Qin, when she saw Cheng Yi, fearing that he might misunderstand, she hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and said, "Master Jun, wake up, you were so drunk last night, but It's hard for me, Ah Hua, look at the servant's arm, all the blood that bleeds from this hole is dedicated to Luo Hong."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help lamenting that the palace maids are not ordinary, even if she didn't pretend to be drunk yesterday, she still couldn't have sex with the princess. Could it be that the ability to not suffer a loss is not inherent in the palace maids?

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'm really sorry for my sister today." After Cheng Yi finished speaking, he glanced at the princess who had finished dressing up. He had to put on a pretense about what happened last night, so he stepped forward and bowed: "Princess, I ate too much wine last night, and I woke up very ashamed. I hope the princess will be happy."

Hearing the words, Song Rongyue turned around to look at Cheng Yi, and saw that she knew how to be courteous. She was drunk last night and thought she didn't mean to neglect her. The only trace of grievance in her heart disappeared, and she said with a smile: "The county horse doesn't need to be polite, it's just that in the future Be careful when drinking alcohol, after all, drinking alcohol hurts your health."

Cheng Yi looked at the ground and replied, "Yes."

"Invite the princess and the horse, and have dinner in the flower hall. When I was young, I would go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and Your Majesty." Ah Qin stepped forward and said with a blessing.

"Jun Ma please." Song Rongyue stood up.

"Princess please first." Cheng Yi turned sideways, and after Song Rongyue walked past her, she turned around slowly and followed Song Rongyue. It would be best if Song Rongyue had a sweetheart, maybe she would You can turn around the door.

Yanghe, early in the morning, Lu Qingyi took Xiaorou to look for drawing paper. They went through three houses, but they couldn't find it.Lu Qingyi stood in the street market holding the fragments of the original painting in his hand. If he didn't find the painting paper close to the age, even if Chen Huaizui was reincarnated, it would be useless.

"Go over there and have a look." Lu Qingyi led Xiaorou into the shop with sycamore trees in front of the door.

"This kind of drawing paper is old, and we don't have any in this shop." The shopkeeper returned the fragments to Lu Qingyi, "However, madam, you can go to Chen Huayun in the north of the city to have a look. The winter game map he gave his father-in-law's family as a betrothal gift was made of It was drawn on this kind of paper, you can ask him."

"Chen Huayun?" Lu Qingyi murmured to herself, could this name...

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Lu Qingyi's eyes sparkled with hope. The Chen family calligraphy and painting family has prepared a lot of drawing paper for painting in the past. If this Chen Huayun is her descendant, then there is a great possibility of having this kind of drawing paper.

"Xiaorou, let's go to the north of the city." Lu Qingyi pulled Xiaorou out of the shop.

Most people living in the north of the city are not rich, and many migrant households choose to live in the north of the city temporarily because of the cheap rent of houses in the north of the city to do some small business.Local households can also get a small sum of money to supplement their families.

Lu Qingyi took Xiaorou to Beicheng to inquire all the way, and went to the intersection to ask the lady who sold insoles next to her.

"Ma'am, where does Chen Huayun's family live?"

The aunt who sold insoles looked up at Lu Qingyi, sized her up and down, and said twice, "Ma'am, what do you want to know about that scumbag?"

"A wimp?" Lu Qingyi was stunned.

"No, well, the stall opposite me belongs to his family, and I don't know what happened today, and his wife hasn't come out to set up a stall." The aunt picked up the insole as she spoke, "Ma'am, I did it with my own hands. Embroidered insoles, would you choose two pairs?"

Lu Qingyi smiled, lowered her head and picked up two pairs of insoles embroidered with bamboo, and continued to ask, "Does Madam know where his home is?"

The aunt took the copper plate handed over by Xiaorou and said with a smile: "I know, I know, turn left at this intersection and go straight, the house that looks the best is the Chen family."

"The house is the best?" Lu Qingyi turned around and looked to the left, "The house is best if you come from a good family background, why do you want to set up a stall here?"

"Hey, his poor family only has a house left, and his wife wants to sell it, but he refuses to sell it, and he has no ability to support the family, so he just relies on his wife to support a family of five." The aunt said with disgust.

Lu Qingyi thought about it after hearing the words, a woman earns money to support her family, she admires it but also feels hard work, is Chen Huayun really so worthless?Lu Qingqing thought about it and took Xiaorou to the street on the left.

"Miss, this house is the most valuable, should it be this one?" Xiaorou looked around and felt that the house in front of her was the best around.

Lu Qingyi thought it was also from this family, so she took Xiaorou into the alley entrance, and just after taking two steps, the door on the right hand side opened in front, and a scholar in a light blue gown stepped back in embarrassment, staggered two steps and knelt down with a plop. in front of the door.

"Grandma, don't throw it away, don't throw it away, I haven't finished this painting yet." The scholar knelt down and begged inside.

As soon as the words were finished, the people inside threw the paintings, pens and books on the scholar, and then a woman in a purple sarong rushed out with a bamboo stick as thick as a fist.

"Painting, you know painting, I'll kill you bastard." The woman slapped the scholar unceremoniously, and the scholar panicked and hid with the painting and brush in his hand, paralyzed on the ground in fright.

"Mother, mother~" the sixteen-year-old boy ran out with a two-year-old and three-year-old little girl, and stood in front of the scholar, "Mother, daddy knows it's wrong, mother, please forgive daddy."

The scholar, who was paralyzed on the ground with the painting in his arms, nodded repeatedly when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyi and Xiaorou looked at each other, and stood stiffly where they were, not daring to move forward.

"He knows it's wrong? Your father knows it's wrong, and the ducks in the river outside can talk." The woman said and raised her hand and waved, "Get out of the way, both of you."

Hearing the words, the little boy turned his head to look at his father on the ground, hesitating whether to get out of the way, after all, her father did break his promise to his mother, after the time passed, he forgot what his mother told him to grind the beans, you said, this is her Can mother not be angry when she comes back?

Seeing his child's hesitant eyes, the scholar on the ground quickly left his butt off the ground, knelt down on one knee, held his child's little hand with one free hand, and said pitifully: "Ah, son, you can't let me, you You can't escape this beating if you let daddy, you can't just ignore death."

"Bang!!" The woman hit the bamboo stick against the door wall angrily. The scholar was so frightened that the brush fell off the ground, and he raised his arms to cover his head and trembled.

"Ping Niang." An old woman hurried out of the inner room, glanced at the disappointing scholar, turned around and smiled at her daughter-in-law shyly: "Ping Niang, Hua Yun did something wrong today. If you make a mistake, you should spare her, Ang~"

Lu Qingyi was taken aback, and looked straight at the huddled person on the ground. Her first impression was the same as when she saw Chen Siyun. It was no accident that she was really her descendant, but how could she be so cowardly?

"No." Liu Zhaoping refused angrily, Zhu Hunzi hit the wall again, and shouted at the two children: "Get out of the way, you two little bastards!!!"

"Ouch." The old woman trembled in fright, closed her eyes and raised her hand to cover her heart, not to mention Chen Huayun, who was shaking very badly.

Seeing the old woman shaking, the woman quickly went down the steps to support her: "Mother, are you alright? Leave this matter alone and go back to the house."

The old woman looked back at her daughter, and pleaded again: "Ping Niang, I, I don't feel sorry for her, it's just that if the damage is broken, I have to get her medicine and spend money. Besides, Hua Yun also said, You have to make up for your mistakes and grind the beans well." As he spoke, he turned to look at his daughter lying on the ground, "Speak, don't you?"

Trembling, Chen Huayun took the sleeves off his head, glanced at his wife carefully, and said: "Yes, yes, mother, mother, mother, I will grind the beans well, forgive me, please forgive me this time, please. "

"Excuse me? How many times is this the first time?" Liu Zhaoping said, taking off his shoes and throwing them at Chen Huayun fiercely, "Chen Huayun, are you talking about your mother's words? My mother's family said you are worthless , you can’t give me some gas.”

Chen Huayun could recite such words, knelt on the ground and carefully rolled up his unfinished painting.

"You still dare to touch that painting for me." Liu Zhaoping was furious, "If you tear up the painting, I will spare you. If you don't tear it up, I will spare you today."

"Mother, father is very pitiful." The little boy stepped forward and looked up at his mother.

"Your father is pitiful?" Liu Zhaoping frowned instantly, "It's your mother who is pitiful, no, Chen Yichu, who are you? Who gave birth to you in October, huh? Who gave you the time to study? Your father is pitiful, has your father handed over a copper coin to the family?"

The kid Chen Yichu looked back at his father, then lowered his head silently.

"Why, why not?" Chen Huayun held the painting boldly and said: "Go, last year, you asked me to go fishing with Uncle Xu, didn't I bring back two coins?"

"I'm bah." It's okay not to say, but Liu Zhaoping was full of resentment when he talked about it, "You have the nerve to say that you not only didn't help but also made trouble when you went, Uncle Xu sent you not to go again with two cents. All these years Let you learn how to be a bricklayer with my brother, you can fall off the beam, let you learn to farm with my brother, you can’t lift a hoe, let you learn to do business, you lose everything, what else can you do? I I was so blind back then, I followed you as a worthless person, and I gave birth to two children for you, and you suffered the same. You said you didn’t think about your mother or me, and you should live up to these two flesh and blood. Raise your family, you know how to draw all day long, and you can make a name for yourself in painting, those pens and inks are so expensive that they are not only a waste of money, but also useless.”

Chen Huayun was speechless, holding his painting and said: "You, why are you in a hurry, I, my painting will soon be able to sell for money, at most, a month at most, when the time comes, I, let alone rouge and gouache, You can buy jade bracelets and gold hairpins as much as you want, Ah Chu and Xiao Luoer can buy whatever they want..."

"Damn, you're dreaming." If Liu Zhaoping believed her, she would feel that she was a fool.

Lu Qingyi looked at it for a long time, stepped forward, and slowly said to Chen Huayun who was kneeling on the ground: "Can you show me your painting?"

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Zhaoping turned his head and was stunned for a moment, why there were still people at the entrance of the alley, so he quickly threw the bamboo stick into his yard.

Chen Huayun looked up and saw Lu Qingyi for a moment, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood up with a blushing face, and actually handed over the painting.

Lu Qingyi and Xiaorou were also stunned on the spot. Previously, Chen Huayun couldn't see his face clearly, but now...

"Miss, this person looks like my uncle." Xiaorou swallowed her saliva, she wouldn't believe it if she wasn't a descendant of my uncle.

Lu Qingyi also shook her head, she was indeed half or sixty similar in appearance, hesitantly took the other party's painting, opened the painting and her eyes lit up: "Your painting can indeed be sold for money."

"I, I, I know." Chen Huayun saw that the wife in front of him knew how to paint, and said, "But if I want to sell, I have to make a name for myself. To be honest, my ancestors are also from a family of calligraphy and painting. My ancestors wrote books on paintings. I have understood it, but I have realized it recently. As long as I understand it, my paintings can be sold. As the saying goes, a gentleman lives on his salary and tastes his courage. Ten years is not too late, we painters..."

"You can die if you don't brag." Liu Zhaoping pinched his waist and glared at Chen Huayun. In her opinion, Chen Huayun, who was dull and not good at talking, was in contrast. He started bragging when he saw a beautiful woman.

Chen Huayun's body trembled a bit when he was told, his daughter-in-law's lion's roar skills were deterrent even if he was used to it.

"Why, are you afraid of her?" Lu Qingyi smiled.

Chen Huayun blushed even more, and slowly raised his sleeves to cover his side face.

Liu Zhaoping got angry, strode forward, pushed Chen Huayun, gritted his teeth and said, "If you let me know that you are messing around outside, I will beat you to death."

Chen Huayun staggered twice, wanted to refute but didn't dare, walked aside to pick up the writing brush on the ground.

Seeing this, Chen Yichu hurriedly took his younger sister to help his father pick it up.

"Madam, what's the matter?" After Liu Zhaoping finished speaking, he snatched the painting from Lu Qingyi's hand, and wanted to tear it up. Seeing Chen Huayun with wide-eyed panic, he couldn't hold it in his hand.

"I'm here to buy two pieces of drawing paper like this from you." Lu Qingyi took the pieces out of her sleeve, she was absolutely sure that there must be some in this house.

Chen Huayun squatted down and looked back after hearing the words, and said without thinking after seeing it, "Sorry, it's not for sale."

"Shut up, why don't you sell the blank ones? It's not about selling your ancestral paintings, why are you so anxious." Liu Zhaoping gave Chen Huayun a blank look, then looked at Lu Qingyi, "How much?"

"You make an offer." Lu Qingyi saw that this family had patches all over their bodies, even on the dolls, and felt soft-hearted. These two little dolls are their descendants.

"Ten papers for one piece," Liu Zhaoping said.

"Oh." Chen Huayun only felt distressed when he heard the words. Although the current drawing paper is better than the old drawing paper, the old drawing paper is hard to buy now.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhaoping glared at Chen Huayun.

"Okay, okay, okay, you can sell it if you say it, and you can get it for ten yuan if you say it." Chen Huayun said helplessly while sitting on the steps holding two children.

"Stop talking, hurry up and grind the beans." The old woman tugged at her daughter's sleeve, thinking that her daughter would add fuel to the fire.

Chen Huayun heard the words and took the hands of the two children back home.

The two children were very sensible. Chen Yichu put beans in the center of the mill, and the smaller doll, Chen Yiluo, poured water on the beans.Seeing this, the corners of Chen Huayun's mouth rose slightly, kissed the two children respectively, stood up and pushed the millstone vigorously.

Outside the door, Lu Qingyi took two ingots of silver from Xiaorou: "Ten taels a piece, 20 taels in total."

Liu Zhaoping opened her mouth. This is 20 taels. With it, she has spent more than half of her thoughts on living for the two children. But, it is just a piece of drawing paper, and it costs so much money... ..

"No, I, Liu Zhaoping, love money and get it in a proper way. Go and find out, I..."

"I know." Lu Qingyi smiled, she knew this girl's character at a glance, "The drawing paper is old and worth the price."

"Paper is worth money without paintings on it? It's just a pile of torn paper." Liu Zhaoping said that he disliked the paper, "wait a while, I'll ask." Liu Zhaoping said and ran home.

Chen Huawen looked out while pushing the millstone, seeing his wife coming back, he quickly picked up his speed.

"The woman outside asked ten taels of silver for a piece of drawing paper, do you think that's the price?" Liu Zhaoping asked with his hands on the grinding table.

"Bad, almost, anyway, it is more expensive than the current drawing paper."

"Are you a fool? I don't understand why you didn't stop me when you said ten cents?"

"Didn't I groan." Chen Huayun's voice weakened.

Liu Zhaoping choked for a moment when he heard the words, finally curled his lips, turned around and ran into the house, and came out with three pieces of drawing paper in his hand.

"Are you really going to sell it?" Chen Huayun was reluctant, "It was left by our ancestors for generations."

"You don't need it, let's say 20 taels, Ah Chu and Xiao Luoer will have the money to hire a husband in the future, and we Ah Chu will no longer have to travel so far to take the class at that price. The old man is asking for the price, it is too expensive , how to pay for it.” Liu Zhaoping was always worried about the child’s school bank.

"Sell it, just sell it." Chen Huawen was helpless.

Liu Zhaoping heard the words and ran out holding the drawing paper.

"Three?" Lu Qingyi looked at Liu Zhaoping suspiciously.

"Ang, three tickets, although our guy said it was worth the price, but after all, you gave me 20 taels. I never let others suffer, so I will give you three tickets."

Lu Qingyi smiled when she heard the words: "Thank you."

"Don't be polite." Liu Zhaoping said, looking at Lu Qingyi again, "Don't come again, if you let me know that you still come to our family, I will not be easy to provoke."

Lu Qingyi smiled: "Didn't you despise her?"

Liu Zhaoping was instantly angry when he heard the words: "Who said that I can't like it? I don't like my wife's ability to marry? Let me tell you, no matter how useless she is, she belongs to my mother. My mother says she is a wimp, but others say she can't." After Liu Zhaoping finished speaking, Lu Qingyi gave Lu Qingyi a blank look, entered the house with the money in his pocket, and closed the door with a bang.

"This woman is too fierce. She, she, is it disrespectful for her? Miss, you should be her wife, wife, grandmother, right?" Xiaorou looked at the closed door and whispered.

"If she is not fierce, who will be the head of the door? Now the whole family relies on her to set up a stall to support her. If she is not fierce, she will be bullied?" Lu Qingyi thinks that this girl is precious, and she hasn't given up after being so difficult, "Chen It is a blessing to have such a daughter-in-law.”
