At the beginning of April, Fang Chenghe, who had changed his name to Shun'an, left with the caravan, and the small town of Chinan began to rain lightly. On such a day when the war was ignited, it made people feel extremely irritable, and Zhong Chichun never wrote to him. Mrs. Liu often went to Wen Chunyi's house in the afternoon as before, and the two sat idly under the eaves, looking at the drizzle and sighing softly.

The Zhong Chiyin brothers helped them inquire about the news, and there were no bad rumors outside. Lady Liu sighed and said to Wen Chunyi: "Do you say that when a man goes out, he doesn't remember his family?" This is a good message to people along the way, and it is better than having no news like this. Wen Chunyi looked at Mrs. Liu's obviously irritable expression, looked at the empty eaves where they were removed, and whispered: "The two brothers in my family inquired about the news, saying that it should be safe, but it is inconvenient to send a message to the family. I see that your Liu Ye is also a safe person, so don't worry too much. ”

Lady Liu listened to her words, raised her eyes, and said, "Sister Wen, you are even more embarrassed than me, you refused to allow that cousin to follow your people on the road, obviously for the sake of others, but you let you fall into a bad situation." Wen Chunyi smiled astringently, shook his head and said: "I'm not as good as you say, but I'm worried that the master is not the master, and the servant is not on the road, and when the time comes, it will not be smooth on the road." Now that they were following the caravan like this, they didn't have to worry about what happened to them along the way. The people on their side have a heart in their hearts, and I can understand that. ”

The fourth lady directly choked with Wen Chunyi, saying that she treated her brothers too unfairly, and she looked at people with big eyes. Wen Chunyi didn't bother to say superfluous words to her, she said directly to her uncle: "Uncle and grandfather, I originally wanted to fulfill the idea of the second brother of Quanliu and the people below me on the road together, but he has to keep talking about business with people along the way, and he can't delay for a moment on the way." Second Brother Liu is a person who has never done business, he can be regarded as a master, such a master, he followed him in the Taiping period, but it doesn't matter much, but now it's chaotic outside, when something happens. I'm afraid that the people below me won't be able to take care of him.

Granduncle. Rather than let my relatives resent me later, it was better to refuse early. Besides, if the second brother is interested in business, there are so many shops in the city. He could see more about how other people's families do business. He smiled and comforted Wen Chunyi and said: "They have also been idle at home for a long time, and they are upset and talk a lot for a while." You're thinking about it right. Besides, your second brother is also quite old, if he has the heart to engage in business. You can start with the merchant. With your light, small businesses don't have to worry about losing money. ”

Wen Chunyi didn't dare to pick up the words of the old treacherous and cunning uncle and old lady, a person like Zhong Chiliu was afraid that even if he was in business, he would not do such a bent business. She just smiled and said, "Uncle Grandfather." Once upon a time when I was at my mother's house, I listened to my parents and elders. After getting married, I listened to Brother Chen's father's words. When he wasn't at home. When I had no master, I had my uncle and grandfather at home. When I was in trouble, I would listen to my uncle and grandfather. "Uncle and old lady's family affairs, Wen Chunyi has no intention of meddling in anything. The fourth master and the fifth master got along a little bit because of their sons, and Wen Chunyi saw that he didn't see it.

Wen Chunyi looked at Lady Liu's expression, thought for a while and asked in a low voice: "These days, I have seen you a lot more relaxed, but there are a lot fewer things?" Lady Liu sighed lightly and nodded, "On a day like this, wearing one less piece of clothing is nothing, but you can't eat less." Not only on my side, but also on theirs. This month and two months can sustain it, and next month, my little brother's father will not come back with the monthly salary, and I have no work to do, so I can't support it. Wen Chunyi thought for a while and said to her: "You have done a good job of needlework, and now you don't have any clothes to do, so it's better to be some children holding puppets in your hands."

After it is done, it is up to you to decide whether your mother's brother shop will help you sell it or give it to the merchant to help sell it. That work is at your speed, but I'm afraid that it will take shape quickly, as long as the puppet toys are done well, the price will not be worse than if you make clothes. You think there are some inches of cloth at home, and you are reluctant to lose them, so you keep them in your hands and just use them. Woman Liu blushed and looked at Wen Chunyi and said, "The patterns you painted in the past are useless now." Sister Wen, can you help me draw a few more tricks, and after the success, I will calculate the commission for you. ”

Wen Chunyi looked at her, thought about it, went into the room, took out a few pictures she drew for Brother Chen'er to recognize animals, she handed it to Lady Liu and said, "You can see if you can use it, as for the commission or something, we are so close, needless to say." "In this day and age, counterfeiting is too prevalent. After taking the sample from Wen Chunyi's hand, Mrs. Liu looked at it carefully and said, "I think it's okay, the elders must be happy to give the children such toys." Wen Chunyi smiled and pointed to the words below, and said, "You also embroider the words underneath to facilitate the children to recognize words and animals." ”

Wen Chunyi talked to Mrs. Liu, thought about it, and asked her to wait a little, she went into the room and took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and directly in front of Mrs. Liu, redrew the pattern, and changed the glyph to a correct word and embellished it in the place where it was not eye-catching. Mrs. Liu was very happy and said to Wen Chunyi: "You scholars have the ability, Wen's sister, I asked my little brother to come over and learn to paint with you." Wen Chunyi handed her a few painting samples, shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't let your little brother learn to paint with me, if he wants to have this talent, he must come out with a good master." I'm too weak to be a teacher. ”

Lady Liu said with an indifferent expression: "Sister Wen, my little brother can have your skills, I don't want him anything, just think that he can sometimes draw a few pictures for me." Wen Chunyi looked at her with his mouth open, and said for a while: "Little brother is an upright man, but you can't be misled by your thoughts." A skill like mine is just a skill taught in my mother's boudoir school. If you want him to learn to draw, first ask your younger brother if he is interested. If you are really in a hurry, let my little brother draw a few pictures and ask the two gentlemen of our family to take a look first. ”

Wen Chunyi is still convinced of the skills of the two staff gentlemen, and the person who can be favored by Mrs. Zhong will not be a person who has no ability. Little Brother Liu, a boy, is too sensible, she doesn't want him to be misguided by Mrs. Liu's mother. When Mrs. Liu heard Chunyi's words, she was a good person, and immediately thanked her with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll let my little brother draw a few pictures, and ask the two gentlemen to take a look, he can do it."
