After hearing the news of Li Shu’s arrival, the little bun maid, Painter, was so excited that she hummed a countryside tune, packed up quickly, packed out two bags, and didn’t wait for someone to be sent to pick her up, so she went out with the bags on her back.
She couldn’t wait to go and pay her respects to the young lady, she couldn’t wait a moment longer, the mansion that Qiu’er said, Painter was familiar with it, every time she went to the big market in the south of the town to buy food, she would pass by wherever it was, it was a newly constructed big mansion.
“Ruonan, I’m going to go look for my lady, take these silver and save them, also, drink less wine.”Before Painter left the door, she shoved a personal money bag, which was heavy, inside the demoness Ruo Nan’s hand, and hurriedly instructed.
After Painter finished speaking, she turned to go out the door, but only took half a step before the Demoness Ruo Nan tugged on her arm.
Painter was surprised to turn her head, and then her palm was heavy, Demoness Ruonan returned the money bag to her.
“Ah, Ruonan, isn’t it a bit low. But, but Auntie needs a lot of silver to practice, the rest of the silver has to be saved for Auntie, you save it, when I receive the monthly money, then I will give it to you.”
Painter said with a difficult face.
In order to increase her persuasiveness, Painter followed up by adding, “It’s true. The officials above are always in arrears in not allocating the soldiers’ pay, but Auntie insisted on paying the Zhejian army on time, and in order not to be in arrears in paying the soldiers’ pay, he always pays out of his own pocket, and in order to prepare for the soldiers’ pay, Auntie has hardly slept a full night.”
“It’s not that it’s too little, it’s that it’s not necessary.”Demoness Ruo Nan shook her head and smiled as she insisted on returning the money bag to Painter.
“But don’t say that you have silver or something like that, when your fortress was desperate, you went to Jingnan to find the aunt. It’s not like you have any income, how can you have any silver in your hands.”Painter shook her head and placed the money bag in Demoness Ruo Nan’s hand once again.
“I don’t have any, but others do.”Demoness Ruo Nan smiled slightly and returned the money bag to Painter once again. What she meant was that the unkind rich people had silver, she could “borrow” their silver to spend, and often gave relief to some poor people. As long as there were unkind rich people under the sky, she would not worry about silver.
“Oh, I remember, your father is in the Zhejiang army, and he gets paid every month.”Painter unsurprisingly thought out of the box.
Demoness Ruo Nan couldn’t help but laugh at her words.
“However, it’s better to save your father’s soldier’s pay for him, if people want to renew another string or something, they mustn’t spend silver.”Painter insisted on shoving the money bag into Demoness Ruonan’s hand once again.
“Renewing the string ……I am looking forward to it, but my father is not.”Demoness Ruonan sniffed, couldn’t help but be speechless, shook her head in tears and laughter, “I really don’t need silver. If there is a lack of silver, I will definitely ask you to open up.”
“Er, well, then I’ll keep it for Auntie. If you are short of silver, you must not be embarrassed. During this period of time, you taught me how to cook, I haven’t thanked you properly yet.”Seeing that Demoness Ruo Nan was so insistent, Painter just had to give in.
Hearing that Painter wanted to keep the silver for Zhu Pingan, Demoness Ruonan couldn’t help but pull the corners of her mouth breathlessly.
This stupid girl, really hopeless.
“Then I’ll go Ruo Nan.”Painter was eager to pay her respects to Li Shu and turned around to leave.
However, exactly like just now, Painter had only taken half a step before her arm was yanked by the demoness Ruo Nan again.
“Huh?”
Painter twisted her head in surprise.
“Hehe, is Ruo Nan regretting it, well well well, I won’t laugh at you, Nuo, here you go.”Painter smiled and pulled out the money bag.
“No, I mean I’ll go with you piece by piece.”Demoness Ruo Nan laughed as she reached out and pressed Painter’s small hand back.
“Ah, you’re going with me?”Painter’s mouth opened wide in surprise.
“Yes, I’ll go with you to pay my respects to your lady.”Demoness Ruo Nan repeated again.
“You’re going to pay your respects to your miss?”Painter once again opened her small mouth wide.
“Painter, think about it, how can I be considered a guest of your aunt, as a guest, how can I not go to pay my respects to the mistress. Wouldn’t it be too rude if I don’t go.”Demoness Ruo Nan said as such.
“Er, it seems like it.”Painter felt that something was wrong, and felt that the Demoness Ruo Nan had a point.
“Of course it is, let’s go.”Demoness Ruo Nan pulled Painter’s arm and headed out.
“Ruo Nan, don’t talk nonsense, and don’t pull out your dagger or anything.”Painter repeatedly instructed.
“Don’t worry.”Demoness Ruonan said tongue-in-cheek.
The reason why she wanted to follow Painter to pay her respects to Li Shu was to do something, something big.
She wanted to help Painter.
How many times had Painter risen before dawn to prepare breakfast for Zhu Pingan; how many times had Painter made trip after trip to the vegetable market just to buy a full-grown hen to give Zhu Pingan chicken soup; how many times had Painter made trips to the Zhejian Army barracks to reward the soldiers with a well-made meal without any effort; how many times had Painter worked day and night to make clothes for Zhu Pingan, and her fingers had worn out calluses; how many times had Painter made clothes for Zhu Pingan, and her fingers had worn out callouses; and how many times had Painter made clothes for Zhu Pingan, and her fingers had worn out callouses?How many times, painting child blushing to Zhu Pingan warm quilt, when Zhu Pingan bedtime, and then get out of bed to ……
In her opinion, there was no better woman in the world than Painter for Zhu Pingan, including Painter’s young lady, Li Shu; Painter was already terminally ill and hopeless.
Since Painter had her heart set on Zhu Pingan and was pouring her heart out to him, and since she couldn’t convince Painter herself, it would be better to simply help her out.
Compared to the unknown and unheard of Li Shu, Demoness Ruonan thought that Painter was the woman most worthy of Zhu Pingan’s love.
Painter is good looking, her body is very fat where it should be fat, not fat at all where it shouldn’t be fat, she is polite and courteous in her speech and behaviour, she is more polite than those big young ladies; Painter’s cooking skills, well, under her own words and teachings, the food she cooks is already delicious, the cooks of the ordinary small restaurants don’t necessarily have as much as Painter’s delicious food; Painter has a good temperament, good temper, she thinks about Zhu Pingan in every way, and pours out her heart to him…….
How can such a Painter be one of her little girls and condescend to others.
This time, I have to talk to that what Li Shu, and make a good stand for Painting.
If the mouth can not persuade, the demoness Ruonan does not mind using the knife to persuade her, I believe that will be able to persuade.
Ruonan is very confident about this.
The painting does not know the true thoughts of the demoness Ruonan, if she knows, certainly will not let the demoness Ruonan follow the death.
Outside the door to the south, walked not long to see a new mansion. This is only a day have not seen, this mansion has become a little strange, the door more two tall and powerful stone lions, the mansion plaque has also changed into “Zhu Fu”, instantly more than a grade. There is no doubt that this is the place.
