Liu Shiyu heard these words, in despair, like a trapped beast desperate to fight back, she slowly straightened her back, looked directly at Master Liu, her eyes were bright, and she said slowly: "This art exhibition was ordered by Miss Li!" ”

"Impossible!" Master Liu lost his voice.

Liu Shiyu said: "Father can ask the housekeeper." ”

Old Man Liu hurriedly looked at Steward Ming.

Steward Ming looked dazed, and said uncertainly: "There is someone looking for the girl at noon, and the girl saw him in the study, and I don't know what to say......"

He couldn't go on.

Master Liu looked hesitant - Liu Shiyu received the visitor so solemnly, I am afraid that it was really a messenger sent by Li Hanyao.

Miss Li really wants to promote nerds?

What is the use of being able to draw?

Not to mention that Lin Zhiqiu is not famous, no matter how good his painting is, at this moment, the enemy is present, he can't "scatter beans into soldiers" as depicted in myths and legends, and draw a group of soldiers to come out to support Li Hanyao to ascend the throne and become emperor.

……

Liu Shiyu blocked his father's mouth with Li Hanyao, and when he saw that his father had nothing to say, he turned to Ming Cheng and asked, "Do you dare to take over this matter?" ”

Ming Cheng bowed and said, "But according to the girl's orders." ”

Liu Shiyu asked: "Are you optimistic about your uncle?" ”

In front of Mr. and Mrs. Liu, and in front of Steward Ming, this question was asked aggressively, forcing Mingcheng to choose between the father and daughter of the Liu family.

Steward Ming glared nervously at his son.

Ming Cheng said unhurriedly: "The little one believes in Miss Li." ”

Liu Shiyu: "......"

Master Liu: "......"

Steward Ming: "......"

This is a clever and secure answer.

Old Man Liu left with Steward Ming in a gloomy manner. He lost to his daughter again, and he couldn't bear it. What's more, this time is different from last time, last time it was related to the general trend of the world and the belonging of Jiangnan, he is a businessman, and it is not surprising that he has lost his eyes; This time it's just looking at people, so what kind of virtue does Lin Zhiqiu have, can he be wrong? If he hadn't seen this son-in-law die, he wouldn't have tried his best to stop his daughter from holding an art exhibition.

However, Li Hanyao intervened, and he couldn't stop it.

But let him admit defeat, he is unwilling.

He has been in the mall for a long time, and he is also very powerful, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate a pair of children and prosper the Liu family like this. Decades ago, the Liu family was defeated in the textile competition with Fang Wumo's mother, Guo Zhinu, and it was not until Master Liu's father took over the family business that he slowly recovered; In Master Liu's generation, he has become more and more prosperous, which shows that he is not an incompetent person.

Therefore, although he was unwilling in his heart, he made concessions on his face, as if he accepted his daughter's art exhibition for his son-in-law, and left the scene with Steward Ming. When he returned to his yard, he was depressed, and then his chest was tight and short of breath, and the housekeeper was busy asking the doctor to come to see him, and then the news came that Master Liu was "sick".

There was a lot of rumors in the market.

By the evening, everyone in the city knew that the new female weaver Liu Shiyu was going to hold an art exhibition for her husband, as well as Master Liu's dislike of his son-in-law's incompetence, and Lin Zhiqiu's desire to please his wife and draw a hundred beautiful pictures for his wife.

People say that Master Liu was sick by his daughter and son-in-law, and some people even described the process of Master Liu trying to prevent his daughter from holding an art exhibition for his son-in-law.

Lin Zhiqiu was reduced to a soft rice eater, and Shilin laughed.

Liu Shiyu became an unfilial daughter, and officialdom laughed at it.

Master Liu is "sicker" even more.

On a hot day, he was sick and uncomfortable, and the only thing that comforted him was that he didn't have to come out, or even put strong pressure on his daughter and son-in-law, which showed that he was as strong as he was back then. He waited for his daughter to see the situation clearly and retreat in the face of difficulties, and also waited for Li Hanyao to see the situation clearly.

In addition to feeling that his son-in-law has no future, and is afraid of affecting the Liu family, there is another important reason: he hopes to use this matter to prove his ability, and the last time he teamed up with Fan Dayong almost ruined the Liu family, he wanted to regain face and prestige.

Besides, Liu Shiyu, after sending her parents away, said to Ming Cheng: "I want to draw a picture tomorrow, can you do it?" ”

Ming Cheng said: "Girl, don't worry. ”

Liu Shiyu nodded and said, "Okay!" You believe in Miss Li, I also believe in Miss Li, and I believe in her husband's ability. If you do this well, you will have your own benefits, and you will not only be the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion in the future, but you will also be able to enter the officialdom with me. ”

Ming Cheng said excitedly: "The little one will not let the girl down!" ”

Liu Shiyu said with satisfaction: "Go ahead." Hurry. ”

Ming Chengdao: "Yes! ”

He retired immediately and left in high spirits.

He transferred many young and strong male workers from Liu's workshop, pulled Liu's brocade on Xiashui Street, dismantled and carried, cleaned and cleaned up the three layers of shops in less than an hour; Then repair the walls and floors, hang plaques, vertical screens, and hanging curtains...... Add all kinds of utensils, and report the progress of the project to Liu Shiyu every other hour, because there is no major civil engineering, so the progress is very fast, and by the evening, it has achieved initial results.

Besides, Liu Shiyu explained the art exhibition and went to the Weaving Bureau, but many literati handed over prayer notes asking to see her. Curious, she met with a few. Without exception, these people all asked her about holding an art exhibition for her husband, and asked about Master Liu's illness, seemingly concerned, but her eyes were full of ridicule and condemnation: ridiculing her for being whimsical, vainly trying to use her power to make a name for her incompetent husband; condemned her for being unfilial, and fell for a man who ate soft rice, what kind of face did she have to sit in court?

Liu Shiyu has never experienced such humiliation!

When she was a female young man, she had also seen some difficult characters, but the Liu family was wealthy, and she really never met anyone who dared to openly humiliate her, even if the government wanted to give the Liu family some face; Moreover, when people see that she is a girl, they must always be kind to her, and rarely speak ill of her. These men who read the books of the sages in front of her had no pity at all, scolding people and not spitting out dirty words, and she was so angry that she trembled, but she didn't know how to fight back. Because the art exhibition has not yet opened, does she want to boast that her husband is "talented and talented" and will definitely be able to "become famous in one fell swoop"? She would never dare to say such a thing; As for her father's illness, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to say words such as "I'll see you tomorrow" and "Thank you brother for your concern", pretending not to understand, and sending these people away.

When someone asked to see her, she refused all of them, and instructed Xi'er: "Invite the doctor who checked the old man's pulse, and say that I have something to ask him." ”

Xi'er agreed and went busy.

A quarter of an hour later, the doctor came.

Liu Shiyu asked about her father's illness.

The doctor reassured her, saying that Master Liu was fine, it was a heart disease, and she should be careful of the heat.

Liu Shiyu thanked her, rewarded her hard work, and sent it out in person, and when she turned around and came back, her face was already sinking like water, and she sent all her entourage out, and sat alone in the hall in a daze - she was severely beaten by these literati.
