King's Pretty Lady

Chapter 97
"How did you comfort her?" The street had just been washed by the heavy rain, Xi Chu and Lian Shang changed into men's clothes, and walked on the street swaggeringly.

"There is no consolation, she will think better than us, and besides, I don't know what to do!" Xi Chu looked around and said, "It's strange, there are no portraits of us on the street recently."

"Even if there is, don't be afraid. Although Yori is the smallest in the four countries, let's divide it into cities and counties. If we stay here in Bali, not many people will find it in a while!"

(Hua Hua: Lian Shang, be careful with your crow's mouth!)

The two chatted all the way, and when they arrived outside a city, Lian Shang asked, "Are you sure you want to find a carpenter?"

"Yeah, asked Yan Yeming to help?"

"Okay, Xiang Xichu, you scolded me for being cheeky over there, why do you want to ask others for help?"

"Just chatting for a while." Xichu ignored it and found a fence entrance with a plaque hanging on it - Lu's Muxuan, a simple but not simple plaque. It can be seen that he did not find the wrong place. The entrance is an open-air large In the yard, there are all kinds of wooden furniture, both finished and semi-finished.

Xichu asked her: "Do you know how to look at materials?"

"Look at the expensive ones!" Luo Lian replied arrogantly.

"Luo Lianshang, you've been living more and more pretending lately!"

"I'm a mother now, who am I afraid of!" When the two were about to start arguing again,

An old man and a child came out of that elegant house. The little boy was about ten years old. He was taller than ordinary children. It is a family of carpenters bestowed by the royal family, and the wood is only of the highest quality, and the price... will definitely not disappoint Lian Shang. The two stood at the door in front of the house, looking at her, and Lian Shang also paid attention to the piece of wood bestowed by the royal family. Plaque - No. [-] Lu in the world.

"It turns out that the person in the portrait really exists in reality." Unlike ordinary people, the little boy immediately recognized that she was in the portrait.

"Little Spot can't be unreasonable."

"You can't be that Luban, can you?"

"My name is Lu Yueban." Xiaoban frowned, the two adults were fussing and fussing, and they were really rude: "I recognized you as women at a glance, why do you have to dress like this, neither male nor female!"

"We came here to ask Mr. Lu to customize a set of furniture for our family. We didn't expect to be recognized as the people on the notice, so let's say goodbye." Xi Chu was still calm, and then pulled Lian Shang to leave .

Lu Yueban said calmly afterward: "What are you worried about? We recognized you, and we didn't go to the government to sue you."

"The imperial court doesn't necessarily want to kill us by arresting us, so no matter how unreasonable I will twist your ears!" Lian Shang couldn't bear it, and finally, a few days before her recent birthday, as the mother of two children, she married a ten-year-old child. There was a quarrel.

But Grandpa Lu said: "We are born as Yori people, and we die as Yori's soul. I'm not interested in the person Motuo and Luyan want to catch, and the money is not bad!"

"Like your grandfather, they both talk, one makes people laugh, and the other makes people scold."

"It's because you are uneducated yourself, so let's talk about me." Lu Yueban is not an idle person, it seems that the pride passed down from his ancestors let him know that he is definitely superior to others.

"you……"

"Lian Shang, if you keep fighting with children, it's a joke, you know?"

"I..." He closed his mouth, and behind his backhand, he stood with a haughty and unruly appearance.

"What kind of furniture do you two want?"

"We brought a sketch, you can see if it can be done."

Grandpa Lu looked at a few photos carefully, and the two of them were sure that he was interested. Grandpa Lu called them into the house and ordered Xiaoban to pour tea.Then I read the drafts one by one: "There are a lot of custom-made things, a few tables and chairs are understandable... Only this bed and this cabinet are unique in style, and the patterns on them are unique and unusual!"

"Yes, it's rare that I can design furniture by myself, so I want to do it according to my own preferences." Lian Shang smiled and handed over the details of the pattern, maybe he can be a designer himself!
"But after Zhiyue's death, the old man's business can no longer continue, and he planned to go back to Cixia to live in seclusion." Grandpa Lu said slightly sadly.

"How can Lu's reputation be ruined to this generation?" Xi Chu was about to persuade, Xiao Ban brought over tea and said, "What do you know, what do you know about grandpa?"

"Although I don't know anything, it can be seen that you also like this craft, don't you? This is art, and art knows no borders. Although you have a patriotic heart, people from all over the world have not insulted your works. I blame you. Your craftsmanship, look at the plaque given by King Yueli at the door, did the Green Goose people say they would destroy it?" Lian Shangjia came in to persuade.

Xichu went on to say: "Mr. Lu, for the sake of the common people, not for the common people, everyone in the world is equal!"

These words startled both grandpa and grandson, and Lian Shang continued: "Besides, we have three houses in total, and the furniture here is only one household, and the other two households will also be made by you. You can ask for the price. We can continue to draw the style, so that Lu’s wooden art will definitely be valued by people again, we are businessmen, it’s good that people who do business don’t sell the country, why..."

After hearing this, Grandpa Lu stood up, and Lu Yueban said in embarrassment: "Please go back, both of you!"

Lian Shang was inexplicably brought back to the city by Xichu, and Lian Shang asked, "Do artists have the same temperament from modern times to ancient times?"

"Although he said that, in fact he is not short of money. It's just that his enthusiasm for art and the mood of a citizen make it difficult for him day and night, and he can't find the next step."

"How can we do business if you're so stubborn... But Xichu, although we don't have craftsmanship, we can design, so maybe it's a business to do!"

Xi Chu nodded, and came to the place where the carriages were bought. Lian Shang had an impression of this place. It was only in a small street where there were all kinds of carriages. There were also stables. You can match them with you. Xiang Yanxian was here that year Appeared and found her...with a beating heart, Lian Shang hurriedly said, "Pick the best one and go."

"Listen to his introduction, can you stop being such a rich man?"

It turned out to be half an hour.After spending 3000 taels of silver, the two of them couldn't tell whether it was expensive or cheap, so they got a carriage and drove the carriage to the villa by the lake using the carriage-carrying skills they had learned temporarily when they were fleeing in their previous lives.

"Rent it out to someone else!"

"Does anyone need to rent a house now?" You don't have to come here to rent a house, Lian Shang didn't even think about getting out of the carriage, so Xichu drove the carriage back to the city, went to the piano store, and bought a kite The bedding piled together with the quilt arrived at the Spring Breeze Courtyard.

"A three-story building, facing this street is the most prosperous Yanliu Lane. Qing and Lou DU Fang must not be opened. Think about it, Lian Shang, what can you use it for?"

"There are a lot of people who eat, drink and get drunk, and there are those who have no money to go in and enjoy the feast. Open an inn!" , to live quietly behind.

"I was thinking of opening a shop for these girls, the best way for women to earn money!" Xi Chu said.

"That's not necessarily true. It means that not all children are poor, but they all need to support their families!"

"Today's Yueli is impossible. Xiang Yanxian has not put any policy down, and he has no thought of imprisoning Yueli. Now Yueli is probably more free and unrestrained!"

"That's good, you can open a beauty salon, clothing store, rouge and gouache!"

"There's a third floor here!" Xichu drove the carriage to Chen's house: "It's okay to drive everything you said!"

"You have a big heart, Xiang Xichu, I didn't see that you have such a business mind, so just do what you say, let's go back and discuss the source of goods and business strategies!"

On the way back, they added the Four Treasures of the Study, and picked out some gadgets for the two daughters. They arrived at the Chen residence near dusk, and Yueyao taught the two children how to grow vegetables and flowers in the courtyard of the promenade.

"Qing Ran just walked." Lian Shang said.

"Qing Yan can only climb!" Xi Chu also reminded.

Yue-Yao smiled and said: "Mushin of the Lu family is looking for you, let you go there."

"Then we will come back soon and pack food for you!" When the two arrived at Lu's Muxuan, the lights were brightly lit everywhere, and Lu Yueban came out to greet him. Count on those furniture!

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, this artist descended so quickly!
"I'm old now, and I have to do things with Xiao Ban, don't worry." Grandpa Lu said straight to the point, and took out a small ornament on the table. It was a fishing boat, very delicate, and Yue Ban stepped forward to snatch it. Come down and say: "Grandpa, I'm not done yet!"

She sat down shyly, took out a set of tools, and began to carve seriously.

"Don't worry, of course don't worry, then we'll pay the deposit tomorrow!" Xi Chu was about to leave, but Lian Shang approached Xiao Ban in amazement:

"Hey, the little guy is not bad, how about this, I have a two-year-old daughter, and you two are eight years old, so I will betroth her to you?"

"Luo Lianshang, didn't Qingran want to give it to my Jack?"

"It's better to have a sense of security if you have a craft, you know!"

"Then you are eighteen, eight years behind him, why don't you match him?" Xiang Xichu argued with him.Lian Shang rolled his eyes and said: "Xiang Xichu, you are shameless, do you know that this is incest, although I am as beautiful as a flower, but I can't say that, it is bullying other young grass."

"You mean, do you admit that you are an old cow like a girl like a flower?"

"Xiang Xichu!"

Lu Yueban blushed, and continued to work seriously.
