Chapter 446: Aunt Su
After the man finished scolding, he smashed the package on the mother and son, and closed the door with a "bang", and the mother and son were swept out of the house.
A scroll fell out of the package and spread half on the ground.
Shang Kelan casually lowered her eyes, but happened to see the circular and triangular patterns painted on this half of the scroll.
Suddenly, her eyes were stunned, and her heart was slightly shocked: in this era, there is no compass, how can the circle be drawn on white paper?
Shang Kelan subconsciously walked towards them and stretched out her hand to the scroll on the ground, but someone picked it up before her.
Stunned for a moment, Shang Kelan raised her eyes to look, but saw that the scroll was picked up by the mother, and after she glanced at her vigilantly, she pulled the man who was scolded as "foolish young master" and walked towards the exit of East Street.
The two were about to pass by, Shang Kelan hurriedly grabbed her, and said in a soft voice: "This lady, stop for a moment, can you let the little girl look at the picture scroll in your hand?" ”
On the side, Wei Chi's eyes flashed slightly, and he did not come forward to disturb.
"You want to see my painting? Why? The woman was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shang Kelan suspiciously. She was born with a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her voice was rougher and more bold than that of ordinary women.
Shang Kelan smiled slightly, "The pattern in this painting is very novel, and the little woman likes it very much." ”
Hearing this, the woman glanced at Shang Kelan, then took out the scroll from the package and handed it to her, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you, after all, you are the first person to like this painting." ”
Shang Kelan's eyes lit up slightly, and she took the scroll and looked at it.
Unfolding the scroll completely, Shang Kelan quickly skimmed through it, but was stunned...... What kind of geometric pattern is painted on it? It's clearly a design of a dam!
There was no ruler, but the strokes of the painter's hand were straight and smooth, and for a while, Shang Kelan was stunned.
At this time, the mother and son had already walked away, and Shang Kelan hurriedly caught up, holding the scroll and saying to the woman: "Dare to ask Madame, which master made this painting?" I want to meet him! ”
The woman stopped, looked at her with some amusement, and said, "Girl, if I tell you who this painter is, what good will you give me?" ”
Without waiting for an answer, she pushed Shang Kelan away, and said as she walked: "I still have something to do, and I ask the girl to make a way." ”
"Wait, Mrs. Fang Cai and this prince were kicked out by the people in that house, right? If the lady has any difficulties, you may as well say and listen to me, and the little woman will definitely help you. ”
The woman stopped, pulled the man back and looked at her hesitantly, "Can you really help us?" ”
"How about we go to the teahouse in front of us and talk?"
After a moment's hesitation, the woman glanced up at the man beside her, then nodded, "Okay." ”
A moment later, in the corner of the teahouse, Shang Kelan sat opposite the woman, and Wei Chi stood beside Shang Kelan with a tall posture, his handsome appearance and indifferent temperament attracted many people to look this way.
The man stood beside the woman with a dull expression, as quiet as air.
"Two, your tea!" Xiao Er brought the tea and retreated with a smile.
After Shang Kelan made a gesture of invitation to the woman, she put the scroll on the table and said with a smile: "Little girl Lan Ke, I first came to Shuzhou, I don't know what Mrs. is called, what is the difficulty?" "Qi Yan reads
The woman took a sip of tea and introduced: "Miss Lan, my surname is Su, you can call me Aunt Su." ”
Then, she looked at the man, "This is my son, Lu Zirui, just weak." ”
Shang Kelan raised her eyes and nodded to Lu Zirui, but Lu Zirui didn't react.
After the introduction, Aunt Su said to Shang Kelan: "I am the wife of Lu Siyan in Shuzhou, two days ago, the favorite concubine in the house gave birth to a concubine, and Lu Siyan raised the favorite concubine to a flat wife, and his favorite concubine finally drove me and Zirui out of the Lu Mansion today, alas, this is also ashamed, now we have no place to live." ”
"If I tell Miss Lan who this painter is, and ask Miss Lan to take in my son for two days, and when I find a job and a place to live, I will come to pick up Zirui and go back."
After that, Aunt Su's face turned slightly red.
"It turns out that you are the wife of Lord Lu, the salt envoy of Shuzhou Zhengqipinsi."
"It's all over, I just want to take care of my son now, Xianggong just dislikes Zirui for being stupid, so he spoils that woman, and now that he has a second son, he naturally wants to abandon our mother and son."
When Aunt Su talked about this, there was no anger in her eyes, which showed that her whole mind was tied to Lu Zirui.
Shang Kelan couldn't help but admire her a little, remembering the days when she was distrusted by Jin Yantang, she still felt a little sorry for herself.
So, Shang Kelan added water to her teacup, "Aunt Su has worked hard, and it won't be a problem to let Lu Gongzi live in my house for two days." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the scroll and said to Shang Kelan: "Actually, the paintings on this scroll were painted by my son, and Zirui usually likes to draw some patterns, which he copied from a Western merchant. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shang Kelan's eyes were stunned, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the silent and sluggish Lu Zirui, and said in surprise: "This painting is actually made by Lu Gongzi?" ”
Aunt Su nodded, seeing Shang Kelan's surprised expression, she also said with some pride: "Can't think of it?" Those people say my son is stupid, but my son is better at painting than them! ”
Shang Kelan gradually restrained her surprise, and after glancing at Lu Zirui meaningfully, she looked back and smiled at Aunt Su, and said gently: "It's almost time, the two of you will stay in my house for one night, and it's not too late for Aunt Su to find a job tomorrow." ”
Aunt Su saw that Shang Kelan's eyes were clear, and although Wei Chi on the side looked indifferent, he was not a bad person.
So, she nodded and replied, "Okay, then thank you Miss Lan." ”
It was still noon, so Shang Kelan simply ordered some steamed buns in the tea house, and the four of them ate together and went back to the house on West Street.
There was no one in the house, and after Wei Chi arranged a place for Aunt Su and Lu Zirui, he came to the east house to change the dressing for Shang Kelan's hand.
In the room, the glow fell on the windowsill, and Wei Chi carefully applied the medicine to Shang Kelan, and asked, "Does the painting on the scroll have any special meaning to you?" I don't see anything powerful. ”
Shang Kelan chuckled, "Aren't I going to redecorate the restaurant?" I was going to draw the drawings myself, but after looking at the drawings, I changed my mind again. ”
Hearing this, Wei Chi paused, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her: "Do you want that Lu Zirui to decorate the restaurant?" ”
The latter nodded, but Wei Chi couldn't laugh or cry.
"If you let Yu Niang know what you think, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell this restaurant."
