Chapter 10 Painting the boat
01
The seventh day of the first month, the night.
The sound of the piano sounded in the west wing, but it was not pleasant to the ear.
Xiaocui ran into the house and interrupted Liu Tangli, who was practicing the piano. gasped and said, "The third young master is outside, saying that he wants to take you for a walk." ”

On the street, there are lights everywhere, and there is a joyful atmosphere.
Liu Tangli wears a boy's clothes, and her long hair is hidden in a hat, just like a real little boy.
This set of clothes was borrowed by Liu Tangli from Xiaoshi. There are so many little guys in the house, she only knows him.
Liu Tangli's hand was held by Liu Dongyue. As she walked around, she passed a teahouse, and in the distance, she saw a big lake.
There are painting boats swimming on the surface of the lake.
The boats, like a huge ship, carry a tall and ornate pavilion.
The pavilion has two floors and has three floors. People can sit inside, drink tea and chat, and enjoy the view of the lake.
Liu Dongyue led her and stepped onto the deck of the painting boat.
Inside, many people were already seated.
Liu Tangli sits next to the window, feeling like sitting in a teahouse, but it can be like taking a boat, enjoying the scenery on the water.

Liu Tangli picked up a piece of pastry and was about to eat it. There was a "bang" upstairs, and then rolled down a man with a blue nose and swollen face.
Look at what he wears, like a rich businessman.
The poor man, who kept going in the direction of the wooden ladder, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
At this time, two people came down, very strong, with very fierce expressions.
One said, "Miss Yan is the most famous beauty in the city." She is willing to eat with you, and it is your ancestors who smoke from it. ”
Another said: "Dare to move your hands and feet in front of Lao Tzu, do you want to find death?" Her eyes glared at him, as if she was going to kick him a few times at any moment.
These two men with fierce expressions are turtle slaves who work in the green building. Some people wonder why a turtle is such a cute pet to describe a certain kind of man.
In a certain era when foot binding was prevalent, it was inconvenient for women to walk.
There is a certain kind of woman who sometimes goes to the man's house. Because her feet are too small to walk far. The slaves who work in the Qinglou will carry her on their backs. It looks like a turtle walking.
But here is another reason. Turtle slaves can't marry a good wife. Whenever his wife picked up a customer, he had to shrink up like a turtle and hide away.
They are very bitter in their hearts, and it is difficult for them to have compassion and compassion for others. Taking advantage of the opportunity to vent their anger, they are ruthless in fighting people.
But when they saw a pile of gold, the anger on their faces vanished.
They smiled at the man who was beaten and said, "Uncle, come back next time." ”
