Shang Tian shouted, "I want to eat bibimbap! Noodles without water!"

Luo Chanyi's brows furrowed: "Why didn't you just say that you want to mix noodles?!"

Shang Tian was gasping: "You still need to say that you know I hate water."

"But it's soup! It's not like water."

"Can you be a little more stupid? The soup is just the water with the ingredients, what's the difference?"

Luo Chanyi was patient: "Okay, okay! When you're done, you'll eat it, and I'll buy you bibimbin next time!"

He dropped his chopsticks all of a sudden: "I don't eat it, I hate water."

Luo Chanyi watched the chopsticks fly in front of her eyes, and one fell to the ground, she couldn't help but get angry and raised her voice: "If you are hypocritical, you will drown you!"

As soon as she said a word, the surroundings seemed to suddenly be quiet, and Shang Tian's face on the other side also changed.

He leaned forward, his brows furrowed, and stared at Luo Chanyi incredulously: "Are you sick, *** what's wrong, you're going to castrate me?"

The guests at the table next to them all stopped chatting at this time, and they all looked at them frequently.

Luo Chanyi's heart collapsed: "I'm not that gelding, I'm drowning!" She pointed hard at the soup in the noodle bowl.

"Two." The owner of the noodle shop walked over.

He is a short, stocky middle-aged man with a kind face.

"I can't do it because of this fact, I can't do it! Isn't it just mixed noodles, leave it to me."

As he spoke, the boss took away the bowl of noodle soup that had not been touched.

Luo Chanyi was very embarrassed and couldn't explain clearly, so she simply stopped talking, lowered her head and continued to eat two bites of noodles, but it was no longer as delicious as just now.

In the end, the noodle soup was changed to mixed noodles, Shang Tian's eyes were shining, and he held the bowl and ate it to the bottom.

Luo Chanyi looked at him coldly, and was secretly sure in her heart, there was no next time, she really couldn't afford to lose this person.

The thin autumn sun shone just on the table, and there were tiny mist and gray swirling and dancing in the pillars of light.

Outside the window, there is a decades-old banyan tree, and at this time only gray and bare branches remain, and occasionally pedestrians staggered by.

In the blind corner of the old banyan tree, there was always a person, long and jade, allowing passers-by to pass by, and he only looked in the direction of the window of the noodle shop in a daze.

The sun was shining brightly, but the wind was very strong, and he was not dressed thickly, and standing in the shadows for a long time was bound to be cold, but he stood motionless, and watched, as if someone had nailed a stake under his feet.

Luo Chanyi staggered and carried a bag of pineapple crisp in his hand, and returned to Du Mansion all the way unhurriedly.

Lu Jue was leaning against the window outside his room, his head hanging slightly, looking thoughtful, and when he heard her footsteps, he slowly looked up.

Looking like this, it seems that he is waiting for her on purpose.

Luo Chanyi walked up and shook the small bag in his hand: "I brought you pineapple crisp, I tasted it, this one is very authentic."

Lu Jue glanced at it lightly, his expression did not change much, and his gaze fell back on her: "Go in and say."

Luo Chanyi was slightly stunned, how could she feel a little solemn.

Walking into the room, Lu Jue took out a heavy brocade bag from the bamboo basket, and then took out the money bag from the placket, put one large and one small on the case, and looked at her: "This is the county magistrate's reward of two, and those distinguished guests who bought my paintings in the past two days and earned some silver, less than six hundred taels."

Luo Chanyi also sat down, gently put the pineapple cake in his hand aside, and was a little unclear: "What are you ...... about."

"You have all this money." He shoved the money bag in front of him.

She looked at the purse, then at him, and wondered, "What am I doing with it?"

He stared at the silhouette cast by the window lattice on the ground, took a deep breath, and said after a while, "You can return this money to others, and you don't owe each other, if you ......."

His words suddenly stopped, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his gaze lowered, and he continued after a long time, "If you don't want to, then this money will be your dowry."

Luo Chanyi was shocked all of a sudden, and couldn't cry or laugh inexplicably: "Dowry? Why are you ......?"

Halfway through her speech, she suddenly thought of something, as if a sleeping person suddenly woke up, could it be that Lu Jue had just seen her monk Shangtian?

"Lu Jue, I ......"

As soon as she spoke, he raised his eyes and looked.

At this time, Luo Chanyi saw that there was indescribable sadness in those dark eyes, which she had never seen before.

I don't know why, her heart also hurts: "Actually......"

"Lu Jue!" There was a shout outside the window, it was Du Qingxia's voice.

Immediately, the door was vigorously pushed open, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Du Qingxia stood at the door, with one hand crossed on her waist with an unkind face, and a little girl in green stood behind her.

"What's going on?" Luo Chanyi stood up and asked.

Du Qingxia glanced at her fiercely, rushed to the threshold angrily, and went straight to Lu Jue, and with a wave of his hand, he threw a piece of cloth-like thing in his hand over: "Look at the good things you did!"

The piece of cloth fell in front of Lu Jue leisurely, Luo Chanyi bent down and picked it up, only to see that it was a large piece of embroidered cloth, embroidered with a lotus flower playing with fish, although the embroiderer was not as good as Mrs. Pang, but it was one of the best among young women.

But it was obvious that the embroidery was dirty, and it was stained with a few clear colored ink stains, as if it had been scratched.

Color ink is indeed rare, and it can only be used in painting, Luo Chanyi turned his eyes to Lu Jue.

Lu Jue glanced at the embroidered cloth lightly, and only said, "You put it down, I'll help you clean it up."

"Cleanup?" Du Qingxia snatched the embroidered cloth back from Luo Chanyi's hand and stood in front of Lu Jue: "It's easy for you to say, the color ink can't be washed at all."

"That's it! My young lady embroidered it for three months, and it was originally washed and dried before it could be used, but it was ruined by you in vain." The little girl in green behind Du Qingxia screamed proudly.

"It's not your right to speak," Luo Chanyi's face turned cold: "Think about your own identity before you speak, we are guests of the Du Mansion, and we are sincerely retained by your master, when will it be your turn to shout."

On the surface, these words were training the little girl, but in fact, they were meant to Du Qingxia, but if she had a little knowledge, she should also know that she was restrained at this time.

The little girl's face turned pale and she looked unconvinced, but she didn't dare to speak more, and only squinted at her young lady.

Du Qingxia was also stunned at this time, but her temperament has been arrogant since she was a child, and she didn't want to lose her momentum at this time, so she continued to raise her chin and shouted, "What? You have done something wrong, and you are justified?"

Lu Jue looked at her with a cold gaze: "I said, I'll help you clean it up." Get out."

Hearing the last sentence, Du Qingxia's eyes widened: "Let me out? This is my home!" She lost her mind, and was so excited that she stomped her feet.

"Lu Jue! Your good embroidery has been ruined by you!"

"Instead of apologizing, you let me out?!"

"You said clean up, right, I see how you clean up, there is a little trace, I will not let you go!"

There was another splash, Luo Chanyi drilled her ears with her fingers, only to feel that her eardrums hurt, it seems that this eldest lady is really hopeless.

Finally sent Du Qingxia away, the ears stopped, Luo Chanyi picked up the embroidered cloth, came to the front and looked at it carefully: "How to clean this up?"

As far as she knew, the color ink had not been properly cleaned up at all, and basically this embroidery would have been scrapped, otherwise Du Qingxia would not have made such a fuss.

But Lu Jue didn't take a second look, he was obviously full of worries, but he didn't put any thought on embroidery, just said lightly, "Just leave it to me."

Hearing him say this, Luo Chanyi also felt a little relieved, and casually folded the embroidered cloth twice and put it on the table.

Lu Jue slowly raised his eyes to look at her, "You just ......."

"Ahh

She was mindful

I forgot all about the conversation I had just had.

In fact, if it wasn't for Du Qingxia's interruption, she didn't know what she would say, but when she saw Lu Jue's expression at that time, she felt uncomfortable for no reason, and she wanted to tell him that it wasn't like that.

But when I calmed down, I found that it was better not to say anything, and I didn't want to make up lies, but I couldn't tell the truth.

"Luo Chanyi," watching her walk towards the door, Lu Jue got up and stopped her, "Take the money bag."

She paused in her footsteps, but did not look back, her voice sleepy and lazy: "What kind of money, I will take care of my affairs myself, don't worry about it."

"......" Lu Jue looked at her back, stunned.

——

At dinner, Master Du didn't know which tendon was out of order, so he had to invite Lu Jue and Luo Chanyi to his room to eat together.

At the dinner table, Master Du sat in a wooden wheelchair, with a cute smile on his face, and personally picked up the dishes for the two of them: "You're welcome, eat as much as you want."

Luo Chanyi said while eating, "Master Du's leg injury is recovering quickly, and there is no problem getting in and out of the wheelchair."

Master Du immediately shook his head and smiled: "How can it be so fast, break your muscles and bones for a hundred days, early, early, you can live here with peace of mind, if there is anything that is not well entertained, just tell me and see how I clean them up!"

Luo Chanyi also smiled: "No, no, you're polite, it's the first time in my life to live in such a good place."

Seeing that they didn't propose to leave, Master Du couldn't help but smile, and squeezed out three taels of fat on his face.

At this time, he looked at Lu Jue: "Nephew Lu Shi, I still can't get it right when you taught me the superposition smudge last time, and every time I make the drawing paper piece by piece, it's wet."

Lu Jue said lightly: "Beginners are like this, you have to take your time."

Luo Chanyi was taken aback when she heard this, and asked, "Master Du is learning to paint?"

When Master Du heard this, a trace of pride flashed on his face: "Yes, there is no end to learning, I am inconvenient for my legs and feet now, why not take this opportunity to ask Lu Shinephew for a lesson or two, and also cultivate his sentiments hahaha."

Luo Chanyi nodded: "Master Du's spirit is really admired by the younger generations, if you have attainments in the future, it will be amazing, a painting can be sold for a few hundred taels, maybe it can be passed on."

Speaking of this, a bright light appeared in Master Du's eyes: "I don't dare to think about a few hundred taels, my nephew Lu Shi's painting sold for twenty taels, this is still the price he is willing to raise under my strong persuasion, he is too real, if you want me to say that there are people to buy two, I just need to learn some fur, this is not more profitable than my business?!"

Luo Chanyi smiled, picked up the teacup and drank tea, and didn't answer again.

She really guessed correctly, the so-called endless learning is just to exert force on money.

In fact, Luo Chanyi wanted to tell him that you should do business obediently.

If you want a painting to sell for twenty taels, in addition to the peak of your painting skills, you have to be able to kill a pack of wolves.
