Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 118: Hiding the Portrait

When the young prince Li Xuan took those people away, he took away ten bottles of Ruyi Lu. Tianlai Novel

Although it was announced that Ruyi Lu had been sold out, there had to be some spare bottles left in the shop. This time, Li Yi simply let him take all of them away.

After his step-by-step enticement, the final goal was achieved. Li Yi watched the few people leave, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Originally, he just wanted to do some small business, to ensure that they would not go hungry, to improve their living standards a little bit, and to lead Lao Fang and his people to a well-off life. Originally, the business of Ruyifang and Bingtanghulu could satisfy this small wish, but people in the rivers and lakes, some things are far from as simple as imagined.

The business of Ruyi Lu is a big cake, and I am afraid that countless people are watching from afar, wanting to share a piece. Li Yi himself is a common man, and he does not want to compromise, and he cannot fight against the local snakes in Qing'an Prefecture. In desperation, he can only choose to hold a thicker thigh.

In Qing'an Prefecture, no one has a bigger leg than the Ning Wang Mansion.

If you want to expand your business, you need more manpower, material resources and financial resources. It is obviously impossible to rely on Lao Fang and his people alone. You can only find someone to cooperate with, and cooperating with Ning Wang Mansion is obviously the most suitable and permanent method.

In this small piece of land, no one dares to compete with Ning Wang Mansion for business. He only needs to contribute the formula and then he can sit at home and count money.

Although it is to take advantage of the curiosity of the little prince, it is a win-win situation. Ruyi Lu has considerable profits. What's more, Li Yi also intends to cooperate with him for a long time. Ning Wang Mansion will not lose money. Li Yi can also use this huge umbrella to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Of course, after dealing with the little prince Li Xuan several times, Li Yi also likes him very much. He is one of his few recognized friends. They are all from the old Li family. To some extent, it is also a good thing.

The worries have been solved. Li Xuan has gone back to prepare for manpower, workshops, and shops. He can make decisions on such small matters by himself. When Li Yi said that they would split the profits 50-50, he agreed without even considering it, which made Li Yi appreciate him even more.

Young people have advanced ideas. Li Yi wanted to explain to him about intellectual property rights, but now it seems that there is no need for this.

In the following time, he did some small training for several girls. It took a little time to teach them how to write orders. Although the format of the order is fixed and Li Yi can write it in advance, the delivery date and quantity have to be filled in by themselves. How to write numbers and dates, all these need to be taught to them.

Lao Fang is not without things to do. Of course, it is not good to have only a few girls in the shop. If there are any bad customers or hooligans, Lao Fang will have to go out in person and temporarily act as a flower protector.

Everyone has their own division of labor, so of course Li Yi has nothing to do.

Make a cup of tea, lie lazily in the yard behind the shop, bask in the sun, and find a few books from the library in your mind to recharge. It is better to have many skills, and you never know when they will be useful.

This yard is located in the sunny direction, and the sun shines on the body, which makes Li Yi feel warm. He closed his eyes and digested what he had just seen. Suddenly, his eyes went dark. He opened his eyes and saw Lao Fang standing straight in front of him, just blocking the sun.

"Son-in-law, someone is looking for you."

Lao Fang looked at Li Yi with a strange expression on his face, and he was hesitant to speak.

When Li Yi stood up, Lao Fang added: "It's a beautiful woman."

"Well, I know." Li Yi nodded and turned to walk into the shop.

Recently, occasionally there are women who come to ask him to write on paper, and he has long been used to it.

Of course, there were some talented people at first, but after hearing that he charged one or two silver coins for writing a word, no one came gradually.

Being able to enjoy the star treatment also satisfied Li Yi's vanity a little, but in Lao Fang's opinion, it was not the case.

"Well, I know..." What kind of attitude is this?

A beautiful woman came to him... Isn't he worried that he would tell the eldest lady?

Lao Fang's face showed a trace of entanglement. After thinking about it, he followed.

Seeing that the son-in-law was so calm, it didn't seem like he had a guilty conscience. What if he was overthinking it?

Li Yi walked into the shop from the back door. Several girls were practicing what he had just taught them at the counter. In the rest area opposite, a young woman was sitting there, and a pretty maid stood behind her.

The young woman seemed to be holding something in her hand. At this moment, all her attention was on the paintings around the wall, and she was fascinated.

Seeing the woman from afar, Li Yi's eyes showed a trace of doubt. He walked to the woman and asked, "I wonder why Miss Zui Mo came here today?"

Unexpectedly, the one who came here to find him was actually this top prostitute in Qun Yu Yuan. Li Yi and her had some small misunderstandings before, but they reconciled later. However, the two only met twice at poetry meetings and never had any intersection again.

"Zui Mo is here to return the painting, young master." Zeng Zui Mo stood up, bowed, and handed the thing in his hand to Li Yi.

"Painting?" Seeing her handing over a paper tube, Li Yi was even more confused. When did she take his painting?

Turning around to look at the walls around him, there was no missing one?

Confusedly, he untied the string in the middle of the paper tube and slowly spread the paper tubes on the table beside him. When he saw the woman in tight clothes drawn on the paper, the expression on Li Yi's face froze for a moment.

Liu Ruyi, it was actually Liu Ruyi...

The portrait was three-dimensional, and it should have been drawn by himself, but he had only drawn Liu Ruyi once, and that painting was still locked in the cabinet in his room!

But what about the painting in front of him?

"Young master, I'm afraid you took the wrong painting that day. Please return the painting you took away to me." Zeng Zuimo didn't notice the change in Li Yi's expression, and looked up at him and said.

When he thought of his portrait in the hands of a man, Zeng Zuimo would feel a strange feeling in his heart. He accidentally heard that the talented man who surpassed Shen Zhao in poetry that day was in Ruyifang, so he immediately brought the painting over.

Li Yi did not answer Zeng Zuimo. His mind was still a little confused at the moment. If he had taken the wrong painting that day. This painting fell into Zeng Zuimo's hands, and the painting he took away that day was actually... her portrait!

Li Yi looked up at her and finally realized that the reason why he felt familiar with her when he saw her in Zuixianglou that day was not because he went to Qun Yuyuan with Li Xuan that night, but because he had seen her portrait on the painting stall before...

Lao Fang walked to Li Yi with doubts, leaned over to look at the table, and after a startled expression on his face, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.

"The son-in-law actually secretly hid the portrait of the second lady!"

A voice, like thunder, exploded in Lao Fang's mind!
