Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Pre-Feast of Early Winter

Previously, Lee told him that he would find a painter and live in the shop until his painting was finished.

Therefore, Li Jiye paid special attention to the people she found, for fear that she would find someone who was indiscreet and would not know what kind of trouble she would cause.

But looking at this painter today, he looks quite honest, he shouldn't be a bad person, so let's take another look.

Li Jicai looked at the two empty bowls on the table with great satisfaction, and Cao Jingcheng and Li Jiye ate all the knife-cut noodles she made on her first attempt.

She ate two bites by herself and thought it tasted very good, and she could sell it in the store next time.

Li Jicai was very satisfied, and felt that his mood at this moment was unprecedentedly stable.

The days are all forward-looking, happiness is fought for by oneself, as long as you work hard, as long as you are diligent, the days will definitely get better and better.

It's like now, although the wind and rain are raging outside, some raindrops have even been carried into the house, and the candles in the house are swaying by the wind, as if they may be extinguished at any time.

The light in the room flickered on and off, and Li Jicai's side face was also flickering and dimming.

Xiao Erhei was still a little manic and barked twice from time to time outside the house.

Outside, the clouds were just deep, and the rain was a bit heavy, and there was no thunder.

Li Jicai sat at the table, exhaled deeply, and stared out, with the sound of howling wind and heavy rain in his ears.

I don't know what kind of scene it is in modern times, four years have passed, the leadership team should have changed, and the star Xiao Xianrou should be able to harvest another wave, her sudden death, I don't know how many people know, and how many people will be sad for her?

There is no point, if you go back to modern times.

Even now, I still have to struggle for a living, and I still have to face all kinds of things. There are not many relatives and friends, and there is no one by his side, he has always been a lone ranger, and he has been lonely and lonely for too long.

If she goes back to the present day, even if she goes back, she is still empty.

Thinking about her now, she has a lot of things, relatives like her younger brother and Xiao Erhei, a place where she can live in a small courtyard, a means to make a living by running a casual residence, and getting to know Xiao Shunzi, Runze and a bunch of good people.

Unconsciously, there was so much nostalgia, Li Jicai could only sigh at how wonderful fate was.

It would be nice if the years were quiet like this, there was no need to worry too much, there were things that didn't have to suffer, you didn't have to suffer all kinds of hardships, you did what you liked the most, and you could make money to support yourself, so it seemed that it was really not a loss at that time.

However, will her life be like this, will it always be so smooth and beautiful?

She can't be sure, but she can be sure that she will protect what she holds dear with everything.

After raining last night, I woke up this morning to find that the snowflakes had fallen.

It's delicate, not big snowflakes.

The first snow paved the ground with a layer of silver, and the streets and houses were dressed in new clothes everywhere. Cover up the dirty places.

When Li Jicai pushed the door open, he found that a lot of snow had been piled up at the door last night, like snow-white cream cakes, and when he pushed it, it dispersed. Some are regretful, some are reluctant.

There are occasional pedestrians passing by on the streets, and people are hurrying in their footsteps, and the only ones who are happy are the little dolls led by adults, bouncing and leaving many footprints on the snow, and they are on the side of the street.

If the doll's behavior is a little out of line, the adults will drag the child back mercilessly, and then reprimand loudly, the shoes are wet, why are they so naughty?

The snow on the street has been swept away in advance, and Li Jicai saw the snow piled up at the entrance of Suiyuanju, and he didn't really want to sweep it away, how beautiful it was.

The first snow of the year fell quietly and unexpectedly.

I wonder if Qi Qingchu will be willing to go out tomorrow? Will you still remember this incident of living with fate?

The woman who was close to him was really as Xi Zien said, she was unpleasant.

If this is really the case, then why did Qi Qingchu get close to him.

She suddenly felt a frustration with herself, maybe she should go out and buy some new clothes to wear, after all, she didn't want to look too shabby in front of other women.

Although she has not paid attention to dressing herself all along, she doesn't know anything about rouge gouache, pearls and jade hairpins, and brocade clothes.

Thinking about it as a woman who doesn't wear makeup and dresses herself, I always feel a little dereliction of duty.

Li Jicai stood at the door of the living house and looked at it, the ground in front of him was in a daze, and he fell into his own reverie.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her, and stuffed something into her arms, waking her up.

It was a small copper stove, and it was emitting heat, and it was a little hot to hold in your hand.

This is?

Li Jicai looked at the thing in her hand suspiciously, and then turned her head to look at the person who handed it to her.

Li Jiye touched his nose, and then said unnaturally: "Yesterday, everyone in the Hanlin Courtyard sent it, so I brought a few back." ”

In fact, he lied, there was no such thing in the Hanlin Academy, he bought it on the street, but he was embarrassed to say that it was specially bought for Li Jicai, so he made an excuse indiscriminately.

"Really, the benefits of the Hanlin Academy are so good, and it was right to let you be an official in the first place."

"If you weren't a woman, wouldn't you go too?" Li Jiye muttered.

"Well, I don't have that talent like yours, right?" Li Jicai smiled and approached Li Jiye, then bumped his shoulder and teased.

Obviously, Li Jiye was very useful for Li Jicai's compliments, and his face pretending to be arrogant also showed a little pride, a young heart.

"Why have you been in such a good mood lately? There is always a smile on his face, you can't open a store, you don't worry at all, I think other people's homes are gloomy. ”

In winter, the weather is cold, and generally the surrounding shops are not doing very well, opening late in the morning and closing early in the evening.

"People are in good spirits on happy occasions, you don't understand, the store will open normally in two days, don't worry, you do a good job, strive to be a big official in the future, soar, and my face will be bright."

"Happy event? What's the happy event? Are you getting married? Hearing that there was a happy event, Li Jiye's heart suddenly jumped, and he couldn't help but look at her twice.

"What nonsense? I'm going out to make two new clothes today, do you want to make clothes? Li Jicai glanced at him strangely, she didn't have a partner, where did she get married?

"I don't need it, my clothes can still be worn after washing" Li Jiye shook his head, and then added: "You want to go out?" If you want to go out, go out early, so as not to get heavy in the wind and snow, and it is inconvenient to come back when you come back. ”

"Let's go out later, breakfast is ready in the kitchen, you go and bring it over and we'll have breakfast, and by the way, call Master Cao over."

"Hmm..." Li Jiye wiped away the emotion in his eyes, nodded, and then turned around and went to the kitchen.

The copper furnace in his hand emitted a scorching temperature, providing a steady stream of heat to the palm of his hand, slowly warming his whole body.

After breakfast, Li Jicai explained Cao Jingcheng in detail.

He was given the paper he had conceived, and he was asked to make changes before drawing on the wall.

A whole wall, Cao Jingcheng can play at will.

When he heard that Li Jicai was so careful and bold to let him paint, he was excited and a little panicked. I was afraid that I would not be able to draw well, and then I would live up to Li Jicai's trust in him.

But Li Jicai himself is not worried about this at all.

No matter what Cao Jingcheng paints, he will definitely paint better than her, and when she first learned to paint in kindergarten, she once fantasized about becoming a famous painter.

But this dream was shattered after she received a grade C in her paintings for six consecutive years.

The teacher once bluntly said that she didn't have any artistic cells, and she was afraid that she would not have been vaccinated when she was born and killed all these cells.

Today, Li Ji rested at night, and he didn't need to go to Hanlin Academy, so he happened to be at home and Xiao Erhei to watch the house.

Li Jicai asked someone to bring a message to the staff in the store, so that they could come to work in the store in two days.

The soon-to-be-refreshed Suiyuanju is about to start again.

The renovated appearance will definitely be shocking, and Li Jicai is full of confidence.

It snowed all night last night, and a lot of it had accumulated, and it didn't melt away by the morning.

The silvery white soft and dazzling snowflakes make it impossible to ignore its presence.

The snow had stopped in the morning, and only the bitter cold wind was blowing, forcing people to cover their faces carefully.

There are sweeping figures everywhere on the streets, pedestrians on the road are walking very carefully, the ground is slippery, a little careless will fall a dog to eat, and the unlucky can also "slip" and fall far away.

Li Jicai is not afraid of freezing, the hot breath exhaled in her mouth feels very funny, and she can't help but even "ha" is "ha", until there is no white smoke coming out of her mouth, and then she closes her mouth tightly, and after a while, she swallows it again, and she enjoys it very much, regardless of the strange eyes of the people around her.

In fact, she is quite restrained like this, no one saw it when she ate snow in the morning, and if she saw it, she would probably say that she was insane.

Li Jicai happily went to the calligraphy and painting shop all the way, and then bought the things that Cao Jingcheng needed to use that he had discussed last night.

After I finished buying, I went to the ready-to-wear store, found someone to measure the size, and ordered two clothes.

The ready-made clothes she looks at are average, and the style she likes doesn't have her size, after all, her figure like a lentil is really nothing to look at, and she can't hold up the clothes.

There are only a few shops that often buy clothes, and Li Jicai doesn't dare to visit more, after all, Cao Jingcheng is still waiting for her paint.

It was too late for her to think of the clothes, and it would take three days to pick them up at the earliest.

But tomorrow Qi Qingchu and they are coming, how can they be in time.

This also determined that Li Jicai would only be able to wear her old inconspicuous coarse cloth clothes tomorrow.

Hey, just leave a thrifty and unpretentious impression on people.

If she has the opportunity in the future, she will definitely work hard to help herself.

If you have the opportunity in the future......
