Chapter 36: The Oath

On the morning of this day, Lin Yi carved the words of the day under the guidance of Bai Chengyong. Bai Chengyong www.biquge.info didn't dislike Lin Yi because he said the wrong thing, and still carefully guided him. However, Zhu'er sent the two of them boiled water three times, but the third time she blushed and muttered to Lin Yi, "Lin Yi!" Uncle Bai likes to drink plain water, what do you like to drink? ”

Lin Yi glanced at Bai Chengyong cautiously, and saw that he had finished drinking the water and was concentrating on carving, without noticing him, so he smiled and said, "I like to drink tea, especially beautiful women make tea!" He deliberately said the word beauty very seriously, and took advantage of the time to return the water bowl, and secretly pinched Zhu'er's snow-white and delicate little hand.

Zhu'er's face immediately turned red, she gave him a fierce look, turned around and hurried away in a panic.

Hehe! Little beauty, are you still shy? Haven't you been through the door yet? Do you Brother Lin still have a chance? It's better to take the opportunity to work here for a while longer, and elope this little beauty, and then the raw rice will be cooked into cooked rice, hehe! Aren't you afraid that Old Man Yang will not follow?

Lin Yizheng was daydreaming stupidly on his face, only to hear Bai Chengyong cough twice, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yi, what are you in a daze, hurry up and work!" ”

Oh! Gaffe! Lin Yi woke up and came back, and sat down busily to engrave the words.

Yang Cheng's workshop didn't care about food, so at noon, Lin Yi dragged his tired steps and walked home to have lunch. When he entered the door, he saw that Xinyuelan was already guarding in front of the door of the main room, and when he saw him come back, he took a few steps and asked with a smile: "Little monk!" You're back, but have you ever found a job? ”

Lin Yi said proudly: "Of course I found it, I was an apprentice in a bookstore as an engraving, and my daily salary was thirty yuan!" ”

Xinyue Lan said happily: "Okay! Good! It's not bad to learn the craft of engraving, in our hometown, a master of engraving can earn six or seven yuan a month? ”

"How much?" Lin Yi said in surprise.

Xin Yuelan said with a smile: "Of course, it is not an easy task to engrave a carved book, which one has to spend a lot of effort and energy?" Let's take our time, let's do it in this place first, and when you succeed in learning art in the future, I will also open a bookstore and hire you as a master! ”

"Really! Thank you so much! Lin Yi said with a grateful face, followed Xin Yuelan into the door, and sat down at the round table in the room.

There were rice and two fried hot dishes on the round table, both made by Chunyu, she heard that Lin Yi had found a job, and she was also very happy, so she personally served a bowl of white rice for Lin Yi and put it in front of him.

Lin Yi was really hungry, so he picked up the bowl and ate it unceremoniously. Xinyuelan didn't eat, but looked at him with a smile, as if watching him eat was a very pleasing thing.

"Hey! Little monk, are there any women in your bookstore? Crescent Moon Lan blinked her eyes and asked with a grin.

Hey! What does this little girly mean? Could it be that you have a crush on me? Let's stimulate her and see how she reacts? Thinking of this, Lin Yi pulled the rice into his mouth and replied, "All the men in our workshop are men, but our owner's daughter is very good-looking!" ”

"Where...... Do I look beautiful? Xin Yuelan sat up confidently, brushed a few locks of hair on her cheeks behind her ears with her jade hand, revealing half of her snow-white delicate face, staring at him with her eyes and asking.

Lin Yi glanced at Xinyuelan with disdain, and said seriously: "Yes!" Our host's daughter is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, and she seems to be ...... It seems that they have already taken a fancy to me, and they threw me seven or eight flattering glances today? ”

Xinyuelan said in disbelief: "Pure nonsense, the first day the girl saw you, she could be tempted by you?" Still flattering you? I think it's a fake! When he said this, there seemed to be a slight tremor in his voice.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "I took a love offensive against her, and she immediately surrendered like you, and I have kissed her on the lips and promised to elope with me at night!" ”

"you!" Xinyue Lan's face immediately turned red, and she swung her fist at Lin Yi in shame, and said coquettishly: "Stinky monk, you dare to play with me!" Look how this girl cleans you up! ”

Lin Yi hurriedly dodged sideways, circled around the round table and Xinyuelan, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Madame, spare your life!" Madame spare her life! I'm kidding, forgive me this time! ”

Xinyuelan stopped, looked at him with hateful eyes, and said angrily, "Who is your wife?" Say it again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart! He gritted his teeth, turned his head, and looked around for a stick, to beat him with a stick.

Lin Yi hurriedly said: "New sister forgive, little brother, I don't dare anymore!" ”

Xin Yuelan crossed her face with her hands, stared at Lin Yi hatefully, suddenly laughed out of her face, pulled over a chair and sat down at the table, glanced at the chair next to her again, and ordered, "I won't beat you anymore, come!" I'll sit down for my sister! ”

I'm a few years younger than me next year, but I have to be my sister? How can this really be true? Lin Yi scolded a few words unconvinced, and carefully sat down in the chair beside her.

Xinyuelan suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Lin Yi's right arm, and the hand was hard, but it was like an iron tong, pinching Lin Yi painfully, and he didn't feel sweat on his head like rain, Lin Yi hurriedly shouted: "Ouch! New sister spares her life! Didn't you say you wouldn't beat me? Now how can talking not count? ”

Xinyuelan chuckled, "Yes! I said I wouldn't beat you, but I didn't say I wouldn't pinch you! ”

Fooled! Lin Yi secretly complained in his heart! Xin Yuelan looked at him with a smile again, and said hatefully: "Lin Yi! Remember, you're a family man, and you're not allowed to mess with flowers and grass outside, if you fail me...... Spring rain in our family, see if I don't kill you to relieve your hatred! "I said that my subordinates have stepped up their efforts again!

Lin Yi was in pain like a grinning monkey, and hurriedly mourned: "I swear, I will never be sorry for the spring rain, let alone mess with flowers and grass outside, if I have half a word of untruth, I will teach the little monk Jingxin to fight five thunders every day, and he will not die well!" ”

"Humph! That's pretty much it. Xinyuelan glanced at Lin Yi with satisfaction, one hand relaxed him, but immediately raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "You are not really a quiet little monk, but you swear by his name, it is obviously not sincere enough, see that I don't break your legs!" "Raise your fist and hit it again.

Lin Yi had already prepared, and had already run away, shouting in his mouth: "We are not a real husband and wife, why do you want to care about me, besides, Chunyu didn't say that he was going to marry me?" How do you decide on other people's life's events? ”

"I ......" Xin Yuelan was choked up for a while, but she said forcefully: "I'm a young lady, can't I marry her?" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "Of course not, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, you have to be happy with each other, not what you want, you can do what you want!" Didn't you want to marry me, and deliberately pretended to be Chunyu's name. ”

Xinyuelan's face was flushed, and she reprimanded: "Only the ghost will take a fancy to your rhetorical little monk?" But he stopped and sat back in his chair.

Chunyu smiled on the side: "Miss, Lin Gongzi, don't make trouble, hurry up and eat!" Lin Gongzi still has to work in the afternoon? ”

Xin Yuelan sighed, stopped talking, picked up the bowl, filled a bowl of white rice, and began to eat, but her eyes no longer looked at Lin Yi. Lin Yi carefully sat down opposite him, ate his meal, and went back to his room to take a nap!

Ouch hey! This little girl's skin hurts the old man! When the master earns the money and becomes a large amount of money, he will be the first to give you the Fa-rectification on the spot! Lin Yi rubbed his arm and swore in his mouth. I thought again: "It seems that in the future, I have to practice the Pulp Washing Sutra and the Prajna Exercise diligently, is it okay to let a little girl bully me all day long?" In the future, if there is a husband and wife fight, and you can't beat your wife, won't it make people laugh and lose their big teeth? But thinking of Xinyuelan's powerful fist, Lin Yi immediately dispelled this thought, "Such a violent woman, I can't afford to provoke it!" If she is really married, she must not be pressed for the rest of her life? Let's hook up with Sister Yang! That kind of literary and artistic young woman, there is still some common language, every day, I paint, write poems, Sister Yang adds fragrance to my red sleeves, what a warm picture! Hurry up Ming'er, when you have time, let's inquire about Sister Yang's current situation. Thinking about it, I didn't realize that I was unconscious, and I fell into a deep sleep.

In the following ten days, Lin Yi has been learning the art of engraving and printing in the workshop, and has completely mastered this skill. During this period, Zhu'er still sent water to him and Bai Chengyong every day, but his water became tea without tea leaves! Lin Yi also secretly glanced at and observed a few times, and saw that Zhu'er often quietly looked at his back, and there seemed to be a blazing flame in his eyes, but when he turned around to look, Zhu'er pretended to be casual and walked away.

"Miss Zhu'er, why don't you send us a bowl of water to drink!" One day, while the craftsmen were sitting and chatting, a craftsman in his forties joked.

"Uncle Bai and Lin Yi have a hard time carving, so I gave them water to drink?" Pearls argued.

One of the craftsmen smiled: "We work hard every day!" You shouldn't be so favoritistic! As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally, and all the craftsmen laughed heartily together.

Only Bai Chengyong didn't smile, called Zhu'er in front of him with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "Zhu'er, remember!" You are the daughter-in-law of our Bai family, and your every move must abide by the woman's way! ”

Zhu'er's face turned pale, bowed and bowed, and said, "Zhu'er knows!" With that, he got up and walked back to the inner house.

Bai Chengyong turned his head to Lin Yi again, and said coldly: "You have learned all my skills, and you don't need me as a master anymore!" Tomorrow you will do it yourself! ”
