Chapter Ninety-Six: Widow Li and Her Person

Seeing that only the whereabouts of one dragon picture were found, and the other seven were nowhere to be found, Liu Ya eagerly pulled the sleeve of the willow catkins and said, "Sister, what should I do with the seven paintings?" ”

The original intention of the catkins is not in the seven paintings, as long as the dragon map is destroyed, the others are not fatal, besides, Zhang Daya has nothing to hide, and she can't find anything left.

Liu Wu was not in a hurry to sort out the remaining three pillows and the pillows of the Taishi chair, all of which were packed in the basket, and said thoughtfully: "If you lose the painting, you will lose it." If she were a smart person, she would not use these schemes to make money, Huang Wangcai is not as weak and deceitful as he appears. ”

Liu Fu glanced at Widow Li indifferently, didn't say anything, just picked up the basket and walked out of Liu's house.

After all, Liu Ya participated in the process of embroidering the pictures, and had deep feelings for these pictures, and was unwilling to follow the catkins to the courtyard gate, muttering to persuade the catkins to find the seven pictures, and let the catkins draw dragon pictures.

Liu Fu sighed, touched Liu Ya's little head and said: "Ya'er, it used to be my sister's idea, dragon, not a picture that ordinary people can use, our family has painted a dragon picture, embroidered a dragon picture, and don't say it if it's rotten in your stomach." As for the seven pictures, don't do any work today, just stare at Aunt Li, just know the ins and outs of the matter, don't startle the snake, and don't tear your face, after all, she helped us, and in the future, she will temporarily live in a courtyard, and you won't see anyone looking up. ”

Liu Ya suddenly became suspicious, listening to what the eldest sister said, she was suspicious of Widow Li when she spoke, but just now, Widow Li obviously helped find Long Tu, and slapped Zhang Daya? What the hell is going on?

Liu Ya returned to the house with a full stomach, and her eyes could not help but glance at Widow Li's house.

As for Widow Li, the door of the room was closed tightly, and even the stones that were stuck to the Liu family on weekdays were not released.

Let's talk about catkins, when I arrived at the county seat in an ox cart, I first went to Chen Si's house to get the four pillows made by Chen Yi, and after looking at the work, I was very satisfied with the catkins.

Chen Yi's people are very smart and transparent, Liu Yi only met that day and talked about his style and ideas, Chen Yi did eight or nine without leaving ten, and his work was obviously one level higher than that of Widow Li and Zhang Daya, and she was completely professional embroiderer.

The most commendable thing is that when she handed over the pillow, she returned the painting directly to the catkins, and there was no trace of greed on her face.

This made Liu Yi nod secretly again, this Chen Yi, no matter if his character is good or bad, at least he is a person who can take care of the senses, knowing what to ask and what not to ask; what to keep and what not to stay; What to do and what not to do, it will be a rare good helper in the future.

The catkins gathered the pillows and sent them to the Huangjia Cloth Village, plus the one embroidered before, a total of eleven, the Huang shopkeeper not only did not blame the catkins for embroidering one less, but the understanding of the catkins was deeper, and sighed: "I thought you were a simple peasant girl, but now it seems that you really can't be underestimated." ”

The yellow shopkeeper ordered the embroidery girl to take a pillow of the same style and color as the catkins, and the pattern on it was an animal that looked like a snake but had a single horn on its head.

Liu Fu groped for the pattern on it in surprise, and only then did he suspect for a long time: "This is, is it Jiao?" ”

The shopkeeper Huang raised his big finger and said with a smile: "This is what I asked Xiuniang to drive out last night, and this batch will be dedicated to the county lord's mansion in a while, and the county lord's mansion will be in charge of the New Year's gift to the eleventh prince." ”

The emperor is the dragon, the king is the Jiao, and the Jiao is the son of the dragon, and he sent it to the prince, even if he responded to the scene, he did not exceed the rules, and he could be regarded as having made up the twelve zodiac signs, which was not bad.

The shopkeeper Huang was not too stingy, eleven pillows, and gave twelve taels of silver as usual, and was quite trustworthy, giving the work of 500 prison clothes to the catkins, and giving the samples, fabrics, threads and fixed money all on beads.

Liu Wu settled the things on Niu Bo's ox cart, turned back to He Lang Chinese Medicine Hall, and carefully handed the bone spur that had stabbed him to He Langzhong.

He Langzhong put the bone spur in front of his eyes, took a closer look, felt the hardness with his fingers, and finally put it on the wing of his nose and sniffed, a fishy smell faintly passed into the depths of his nose, He Langzhong sneezed lightly, handed the bone spur back to the catkins, his eyes widened, and he said unhappily: "Are you your dog when you are old?" The day before yesterday, the phlegm and body remains, and today is the smelly bones? ”

Liu Fu smiled abruptly, put the neck pillow on He Langzhong's neck, and said in a glutinous voice: "Doctor He, it is because of his superb medical skills and five senses that he is particularly sensitive, which is the greatest reverence and trust for you." You don't look at the face of the catkins, but also look at the hard work of me making chair cushions for you day and night, which is not ordinary cotton, but high-quality chicken fluff, the only one in Jiangyin County......"

He Langzhong instinctively leaned back, his body seemed to be stuck in a soft place, which was extremely comfortable, and his waist just fit with the cushion of the waist protection, plus the neck protection, not to mention how comfortable.

He Langzhong waved his hand quite generously, and said calmly: "For the sake of the very comfortable face of the Taishi chair cushion you made, the old man will tell you, the bone spurs are mustache dog thorns, or mustache dog thorns that have been broken for a long time, and the meat scraps stuck to it are all rancid smells." ”

Liu Fu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bold guess quickly took over his mind.

Thinking of the possibility, Liu Fu asked, "Mr. He, the bones of this mustache dog, it won't be a big deal if you boil the soup and drink it, right?" ”

He Langzhong flattened his mouth, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and was very unimpressed by the problem of catkins.

This mustache dog is everywhere in this mountain, in groups, because it eats the rotting corpses of humans and animals, even if it is green and yellow, ordinary people will not hunt it, how can they boil soup and drink? It's a ridiculous thing.

He Langzhong wanted to mock Liu Wu for two sentences, but seeing that the little girl's face was extremely solemn and serious, he knew that Liu Wu was not joking, so he pouted and replied: "Without him, I may have diarrhea." ”

Liu Wu couldn't help but "flutter" for a while, this He Langzhong really deserves to be He Langzhong, this nonsensical humor is coming, the bones of this mustache dog have been put for a long time, and the stomach can resist it; People with a bad stomach will naturally have a bad stomach after eating.

Liu Wu's eyes rolled, but he still refused to let go of He Langzhong, and continued to ask: "He Langzhong, this dog's bones are boiled to the bone, do you have to spend a night?" Is a roasted tiger bone longer than a night's time? ”

He Langzhong glared at the catkins, and his beard was so angry that he curled up: "Who told you that it takes a night to boil and roast tiger bones?" ”

Liu Wu quickly made an appearance of being humbly taught, how well-behaved he was, which made He Langzhong's face soothe, and then he explained the reason.

It turned out that the bones of the mustached dog had to boil for two or three hours to make a pure white soup, but they never had to stay up overnight;

Liu Wu guessed that Liu Cuihong must have thought that the tiger bones were bigger and stronger than the bones of the mustache dog, and they were difficult to endure, so she lied to everyone that boiling tiger bones was bitter and tiring, and she had to stay up for a night.

Later, Li Wensheng blamed Liu Cuihong for not taking good care of Li Wenwu, and almost strangled her to death, Liu Cuihong was afraid from the bottom of her heart, and she was suffering from no money to buy tiger bones, and she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only continue to boil dog bones hard, for fear of being discovered again, so she boiled the bones and stayed up for a night, on the one hand, she made a virtuous appearance, and on the other hand, she wanted to break the dog bones, so that others could not see the clues.

In this way, the firewood was not enough, and at the moment of separation, the Liu family was not moved, so they had to give up the copper money and buy firewood from the people in the village, so that Liu Cuihong's reputation did improve a little.

It's a pity that Liu Cuihong was smart for a while, but she didn't know that the tiger bones that she really bought from the hospital were specially baked for three days and three nights, and the bone bees were already crispy, and then put them in a pot to boil, at most they could only boil for an hour.

really responded to that sentence, but the smart was mistaken by the smart, and lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Liu Wu's eyes rolled, and he grinned: "He Langzhong, there is one in the Taishi chair consultation hall, and there is one at home, do you still need a cushion?" ”

He Langzhong's eyes flashed brightly, he did think so, but his skin was not thick enough to open his mouth, besides, this softness must be made of the fluff of countless chickens, and the difficulty can be imagined.

I didn't expect Liu Wu to take the initiative to do it, looking at the cunning expression on Liu Wu's face, He Langzhong knew what it meant to be either a traitor or a thief, what was called a fly and a fly, and what was called a ---- to take people's hands short.

He Langzhong muttered and asked, "What is the matter with old age?" The old and decrepit hanging pot will help the world, and I will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason......"

Liu Fu's eyes suddenly bent into moon buds, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see the buds, and raised his hand to promise: "This matter definitely doesn't hurt the sky or reason, but just hurts a little money......"

"Catkins !!" He Langzhong was so angry that his beard stood up, and he really wanted to take back what he had just said, and he knew that contact with catkins was either sad or hurtful to money, and sure enough, again, again, again.

......

Back at Liu's house, Liu Wu asked the big guy to unload dozens of pieces of cloth and thread from the car in large bags and piles up half of the house.

Widow Li looked stunned and asked, "Su'er, again, there is a new job?" ”

Liu Fu nodded indifferently.

Widow Li was overjoyed for a moment, picked up one or two horses and said: "Su'er, although your house is big, there are many people living in it, and it is too much of a problem to put it in this house. ”

Liu Fu smiled and snatched back the cloth from Widow Li's hand, put it on the ground again, and said with a smile: "Auntie, as the old saying goes, kill chickens with a knife?" This time, the work is too simple, there is no need to embroider any flowers, insects, birds and beasts, any woman in the village who can hold a needle and thread can do it, so let my aunt Changdi hire some women in the village to do it, so as not to make the family make money alone and make the whole village red. ”

The color on Widow Li's face flashed, as if she had thought of something, and said with a smile: "Isn't it that Su'er has thought of some new embroidery patterns to make money?" The aunt will be able to embroider immediately, and take the willow buds with her, so that the buds can learn while embroidering. ”

Liu Wu shook his head and said: "Auntie, there was no embroidery work in the Huang Dong family a year ago, let's prepare for the New Year, and these wages will be given to you." ”

Liu Wu took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to Widow Li, the expression on Widow Li's face was like a sunset, full of clouds, and she couldn't tell whether it was gorgeous or embarrassed.

After a long time, he said with a grateful face: "This is not right, everything is sold by you, and you make it look like you, how can I ask for so much silver?" ”

Liu Wu did not say anything, but just stuffed the silver back into Widow Li's hand, and then ignored Widow Li, pretended to be very busy, and put the cloth in the house.
