First Empress Merchant

Chapter 57 Playing Emotional Cards
After that, Lu Lishi took a blank piece of paper and wrote the names of herself and Wu Changqing with a pencil, and also drew a three-dimensional house casually.

Speaking of this pencil, when I went to the market to buy it the day before yesterday, I passed by a silver shop, and there was a small stall next to it selling lead lumps. My eyes lit up at the time. After asking, I learned that the lead is used to purify copper and gold products. Yes, so it's not a rare item, so she bought a bunch of them back without saying a word.When I came back, I took a knife to sharpen it myself. If I was outside, I found a few bamboo strips and split it in two. Then I sandwiched the lead core in the middle, and finally fixed it densely with a thin grass rope, so the simple The pencil is done.

In fact, it can be done better, but I don’t have time, as long as it can be used, I can improve it when I have time.Of course, because this thing is too avant-garde, she generally doesn't use it outside, and only uses it in front of her own people. Although she wrote a good calligraphy in her previous life, it is not as convenient as a pencil after all. If possible, she I even wanted to make a fountain pen, but there was ready-made ink anyway.

"Sister, it's no wonder you bought so much lead. It was used to make pens! But how did you come up with it?" Wu Changqing looked at this magical thing and immediately used it to draw on the gourd. The more he used it, the happier he was. .

However, Situ wanted to ask him this question, so he couldn't help staring at Lu Lishi.

It doesn't matter to Lu Lishi, because she has already thought up her excuse, "It turns out that there is a silver building in my house. One time I went to play in the silver building with my father, and saw a guy refining gold with lead. Out of curiosity, I used it to store gold." Playing with my hands, I still remember that the guy laughed and said that this thing is dirty and should not be touched with bare hands, but when I looked down, I saw that my hands were full of lead, and because I was naughty at that time, I deliberately touched my father's clothes with my hands. Naturally, I left a small palm print, and I have had some ideas since then."

This nonsense is naturally told by Situ, but the story has to be made up to be reasonable, right?It is true that the Lu family has a silver house, and no one will be able to find out the clues if they bring up the bad deeds of their childhood.

Thinking of something, Lu Lishi picked up another pencil and handed it to Situ, "Here, this is just for you. I think you don't have to carry a pen and ink with you when you usually send letters. This thing is really convenient and doesn't take up much space. .”

"Thank you for the pen, miss!" Situ looked at the pencil, then at Lu Lishi, and took it after a moment of silence. Of course, this pen was for the master.

But it's the same for letting him eat the morning food just now, and it's also the same for giving him a pen. Although they are all small things, a person's character can often be seen from the small things. She is very gentle at times, not at all like a ladylike lady, but she is also like this, people can't take their eyes off her, and even feel that it is something to be proud of to be regarded as her friend.

Wei Wei was taken aback, friend?He frowned slightly again, what was he thinking?
People like them don't need friends, they just need to obey and cooperate!Friends...it was too extravagant for them, they lost their minds for a short while, and then turned their faces down again.

Lu Lishi saw all the changes in his expression, didn't say anything, just smiled, and continued to discuss the drawings with Wu Changqing.

Wu Changqing is indeed a genius. He found inspiration only from the very modern three-dimensional house drawing drawn by Lu Lishi, and drew and wrote on the drawings according to her requirements. After getting used to the pencil, the speed became faster and faster , so the rough drawings were drawn in less than an hour.

Lu Lishi looked at the blueprint and kept nodding her head. Just as she was about to praise her, she heard an older woman's voice coming from the front door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Lu Lishi subconsciously looked up at Situ. Situ seemed to know what she was going to ask. He shook his head and said that he didn't know who it was. drawing.

Going to the front yard, I was about to greet him with a smile, but as soon as I walked around the rockery, I saw eight or nine women and children standing at the door, four of them were older, and the others were girls in their teens. Just for a moment, then walked over with a smile.

"The little girl, Lu Lishi, is the daughter of the new head of the household of Wanrongju. May I ask all the aunts who are here..." Lu Lishi performed a standard ladylike ceremony to everyone, and put a quiet smile on her face, making people look at her. Very comfortable.

Those women were still a little embarrassed, and the one who didn't want to come out was an unbelievably beautiful lady. After observing her words and deeds in amazement, she was sure that she was a lady from a rich family, but she was modest and polite, and she was not like an ordinary daughter. Miss is difficult to get along with, so they have a lot of affection for her.

The four looked back and forth at each other, and then one of them took a step forward and said, "Miss Lu is very polite. My husband's family name is Chen, and he has no skills. He only grows a few acres of Susukida to support our family, and our family lives at the west end of the street. They are Aunt Luo, Aunt Gui and Aunt Ye, who also live nearby. The day before yesterday, it seemed that there were people living here, but when they saw a lot of people at the door, they dared not approach, but they thought they were neighbors after all. , it seems unreasonable not to come to visit, so after discussing with the rest of us, we still come to bother you, please don't be surprised, miss!"

Lu Lishi saluted again after hearing the words, "What is Aunt Chen talking about? Our family is new, so we should have visited first, but we just thought about inviting you to our house in a few days. Sit down, it's my fault who wants you to come first! Don't stand here, please come in! Xin'er, hurry up and pour tea, and prepare some pastries and fruits to greet the guests!"

As she said that, Lu Lishi took them all by the shoulders, including the little girls, and followed them while holding their hands. However, this move made the aunts even more fond of her.

After sitting down in the lobby of the front yard, Aunt Chen smiled again: "Miss Lu is a kind person, and she wouldn't blame her if she thought about it. Pork head meat, this is an egg from Gui’s chicken house, and this is a jujube grown in Ye’s jujube garden, these are not rare items, please accept it!”

Seeing this, Lu Lishi smiled and took Aunt Chen's hand and said, "What are you doing? It's not easy for anyone to make money now, just come and play, don't do this next time, or I won't dare to open the door for you Already!"

Is it not easy for anyone?Especially in these farming families, every copper coin is covered with sweat, and she also admires these simple and hardworking people from the bottom of her heart.

Chen's aunt smiled shyly, "At first, I was worried that a rich family like you would look down on things like us, as long as you don't dislike them!"

After Xin'er brought the cakes, Lu Lishi handed a piece to each child, and said at the same time: "Look at you, what kind of big family is not a big family? To put it bluntly, no matter how big the family is, don't they still have to eat, drink and sleep? It's not expensive Yes, it is the most practical good thing that can take care of food and clothing!"
