First Empress Merchant

Chapter 222: Hand Bracelet (1)
Li Yi was stunned at first, and after he completely digested what she said, he bowed deeply to her, "It is Li Yi's luck to meet you and follow you, and Li Yi will never betray you in this life. "

Lu Lishi waved her hand again, "So much nonsense, close the door and go back to your room to sleep!"

However, the moment Li Yi closed the study door, the smile on Lu Lishi's face disappeared simultaneously, and then she opened the drawer again and took out the letter sent to her by Zhang Shizhong and Zhou Yang, and looked back and forth between the envelopes of the two letters. A sigh full of exhaustion and helplessness came out of the nasal cavity.

Business is getting better every day, and family affairs are getting smoother every day. As long as she puts her heart into it, she can make people around her feel happy and happy, but what about herself, why can't she make herself happy?Is she too dissatisfied?Or is all this a malicious trick of fate?

Opening Zhou Yang's letter again, looking at his funny words and the longing for her revealed between the lines, he unconsciously took off the pair of opal earrings he gave her before he left, and pointed at the candle again. The fire swayed slightly, and she didn't know whether it was the brilliance of the gemstones that dazzled her eyes, or the creaking candles that ignited her mind, she closed her eyes subconsciously, and there was another long sound.

Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, as smart as he is, why can't he try to hide it from her for the rest of his life?And why did she have to let her know such a thing after she was deeply involved in this relationship?
Heh, do you feel that she hasn't experienced enough, and now she is forced to make a choice?So how would he want her to choose?Is it a compromise, or... It seems that no matter which one she chooses, she is destined to lose, right?
This man is so ruthless, she really... can't beat him.

At noon the next day, when the chefs were almost done eating lunch, Lu Lishi brought two large pots of sour plum soup over for everyone to drink. From the corner of her eye, she saw a young master who was not tall and had a relatively thin body. As soon as he put down his job, he took the tools and prepared to go to work. After thinking about it, he poured a bowl of sour plum soup and brought it to him.

"Little master Ah Feng, look at the hot weather, we are not in a hurry, come, drink a bowl of sour plum soup to go to the heat, rest and work again."

"Many...thank you, little boss, you...don't be so polite, I'll...drink it by myself when I'm thirsty." Ah Feng was shy by nature and didn't like to talk. I was so nervous that I didn't know where to put it.

Lu Lishi smiled and put the bowl into his hand, "You are welcome, little master Ah Feng. It was because of your troubles that Liyuan Villa was able to do so well and beautifully. To be honest, I thought it would be finished in early August." It's very cool, I didn't expect that it's still so hot today, and I'm really sorry to ask you to help build the house, so let's take it slowly and pay attention to your own body."

Ah Feng shook his head embarrassingly, "Young master is too...too polite. My master said that although he has worked as a carpenter for more than [-] years, he really didn't like it during the half a year as a helper in Liyuan Villa. I learned a lot, I...me too, and the little boss has always taken good care of us, my mother said that I have grown a lot in the past six months, all thanks to the little boss, this The next time I heard that I was going to help my little boss again, my mother even told me to work hard.”

Lu Lishi laughed again, "Where, you have helped Liyuan Villa so much, I have nothing to repay you, so I can only do some small things within my ability. By the way, little master Afeng, listen to what your master said about you The carving is very powerful, is it true?"

Hearing this, Ah Feng's already thin-skinned face turned red, "No...no, my master is a good person and willing to teach us without reservation. It's my good fortune to be able to learn crafts from my master."

Lu Lishi sized him up for a while, and accidentally saw a string of sandalwood bracelets on his wrist, and then said: "Hey, your bracelets look very nice, where did you buy them?"

Ah Feng followed the trend, and then said: "I made my little boss laugh, I didn't buy this, I made it myself, my mother believes in Buddhism, but my family is poor and can't afford good wood, my master sees me as filial, When I was doing work for others, I asked my employer for this small-leaf red sandalwood scrap for me, so I polished two bracelets myself, one for my mother and one for my teacher. My mother’s is hers. Seeing that I can finally go out to work with the master, I wear it to keep me safe, as if I have gone to the temple to ask the monk to consecrate me."

Lu Lishi nodded, "Well, can you take it off and show me? It's fine if it offends you."

Hearing this, Ah Feng took it off and handed it to her, "Please look, my little boss, I don't believe in Buddhism, so I only wear it to make my mother feel at ease. There is no offense or offense."

"This bracelet is really good. Master Afeng's craftsmanship is really good. So, I happen to have a piece of agarwood here. I wonder if little master Afeng is interested in polishing two bracelets for me?" After his bracelet, Lu Lishi made such a request, and this is what she really wanted to say.

Apparently, in the morning when the shopkeeper of the lumber shop personally delivered the materials she wanted for the living Shen and the Bodhisattva Chen, she revealed to the old carpenter Master Wang, who is Ah Feng's master, the idea of ​​making hand bracelets. , Master Wang recommended Ah Feng to her, so she had already planned to ask Ah Feng for help, but the reason why she talked so much with him was just to see his character by the way, although she was not worried about him Can be cunning, but after all, it is something to give away, good craftsmanship is second, good character can make things with sincerity, right?

As soon as these words came out, Ah Feng's whole body visibly stiffened, "This...you can do it, but agarwood is too expensive. I...have never touched agarwood, so please allow me to ask my master for instructions." one time."

"Okay, then..." Seeing this, Lu Lishi became more determined to ask him to help, but before she finished speaking, she saw him rushing to find his master.

Seeing that Ah Feng deliberately pulled his master aside to talk in a low voice, Lu Lishi shook her head slightly, sighing secretly that this child was too sincere, and at the same time she believed that he could make what she wanted.

After a while, Master Wang came over with Ah Feng, "Little Boss, I didn't know you were going to use agarwood to grind bracelets. Ah Feng is a good crafter, but he has never touched agarwood. My little old man I can't guarantee that he can grind it well, why don't you wait..."

Lu Lishi interrupted him with a smile: "Master Wang, we are so familiar, I can trust your skills and character, I believe that even if I say it casually, you will not recommend anyone to me casually, besides, Who doesn't have a first time? The so-called famous teacher produces a good apprentice, as long as you think that little master Afeng can do it, I will ask him for help."

Hearing this, Master Wang was silent for a moment before saying: "Since this is the case, Ah Feng will not go back for the next two days, and just ask Xiao Dong to give him a place where he can sleep."
