Chapter 446 Aunt Su

After the man finished cursing, he threw the package on the mother and son, and closed the door with a "bang", and the mother and son were swept out of the house.

A picture scroll fell out of the package and spread half on the ground.

Shang Kelan lowered her eyes inadvertently, but happened to see the circular and triangular patterns drawn on the half scroll.

Immediately, her eyes were startled, and her heart was slightly horrified: In this era, there are no compasses, so how did the circle be drawn on the white paper?

Shang Kelan subconsciously walked towards them and stretched out her hand to the scroll on the ground, but someone picked it up before her.

Dazed for a moment, Shang Kelan looked up, only to see that the mother had picked up the scroll, and after she gave her a wary look, she dragged the man scolded as "Young Master Fool" to the exit of the East Street. go.

The two were about to pass each other, Shang Kelan hurriedly held her back, and said in a soft voice: "Madam, please stop for a moment, can you let the little girl observe the scroll in your hand?"

On the side, Yuchi's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't step forward to disturb him.

"You want to see my painting? Why?" The woman froze for a moment, then looked at Shang Kelan suspiciously.She was born with a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her voice was rougher and bolder than ordinary women.

Shang Kelan smiled slightly, "The pattern in this painting is very novel, and the little girl likes it very much."

Hearing this, the woman took a look at Shang Kelan, then took out the scroll from the package and handed it to her, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you, after all, you are the first person to like this painting."

Shang Kelan's eyes brightened slightly, and he took the scroll and read it.

Unfolding the scroll completely, Shang Kelan glanced at it quickly, but was suddenly stunned... I saw what kind of geometric pattern was painted on it?It is clearly a design drawing of a dam!
Without a ruler, the painter's strokes were straight and smooth. For a moment, Shang Kelan was stunned.

At this time, the mother and child had gone far away, and Shang Kelan hurriedly chased after her, holding the scroll and said to the woman, "Madam, which master made this painting? I want to meet him!"

The woman stopped walking, looked at her with some amusement and said, "Girl, if I tell you who this painter is, what good can you do me?"

Without waiting for an answer, she pushed Shang Kelan away and said as she walked, "I still have things to do, so please make way for the girl."

"Wait, Madam Cai and this young master were kicked out by the people in that mansion, right? If Madam has any difficulties, you may as well tell me, the little girl will definitely help you."

The woman stopped, pulled the man back and looked at her hesitantly, "Can you really help us?"

"How about we go to the tea room ahead and talk?"

After hesitating for a while, the woman looked up at the man beside her, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, Shang Kelan was sitting opposite the woman in the corner of the teahouse, and Yuchi was standing tall and straight beside Shang Kelan. His handsome appearance and indifferent demeanor attracted many people to look at her. Come.

And the man stood beside the woman with a dull expression, as quiet as the air.

"Two, your tea!" Xiao Er brought the tea, smiled and retreated.

After Shang Kelan made a gesture of invitation to the woman, she put the scroll on the table, and said with a smile: "Little girl Lan Ke, this is the first time I came to Shuzhou. I don't know what Madam's name is. What's the problem?"

The woman took a sip of tea and introduced: "Miss Lan, my surname is Su, you can just call me Aunt Su."

Afterwards, she looked at the man, "This is my son, Lu Zirui, who was just weak."

Shang Kelan raised his eyes and nodded to Lu Zirui, but Lu Zirui didn't respond.

After the introduction, Aunt Su said to Shang Kelan: "I am the wife of Lu Siyan in Shuzhou. The concubine in the mansion gave birth to a concubine two days ago, and Lu Siyan raised the concubine as a common wife, and His concubine finally kicked me and Zi Rui out of the Lu Mansion today, alas, it's a shame to say that, now we have nowhere to live."

"If I tell Miss Lan who the painter is, please ask Miss Lan to take my son in for two days. When I find a job and a place to live, I will come and pick Zirui back."

After all, Aunt Su's face turned slightly red.

"It turns out that you are the wife of Mr. Lu, the envoy of the Seventh Grade Salt Commissioner in Shuzhou."

"It's all over. Now I just want to take care of my son. My husband just dislikes Zirui's stupidity, so he dotes on that woman. Now that he has a second son, he naturally wants to abandon us mother and son."

When Aunt Su talked about this, there was no anger in her eyes, it could be seen that she was all focused on Lu Zirui.

Shang Kelan couldn't help admiring her a little, thinking of the days when she was distrusted by Jin Yantang, she still felt a little bit of self-pity.

So, Shang Kelan refilled her teacup, "Madam Su has worked hard, it will not be a problem for Mr. Lu to stay at my house for two days."

Hearing this, Aunt Su breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the scroll and said to Shang Kelan: "Actually, the paintings on this scroll were drawn by my son. Zi Rui usually likes to draw some patterns. It was copied from the map obtained from the merchant."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Kelan stared blankly, and couldn't help but look up at Lu Zirui, who was silent and dull, and said in surprise, "This painting was actually made by Mr. Lu?"

Aunt Su nodded. Seeing Shang Kelan's surprised expression, she said proudly, "Unexpected, right? Those people said my son is stupid, but my son's painting is better than theirs!"

Shang Kelan gradually restrained her surprise, and after giving Lu Zirui a meaningful look, she turned her head and smiled at Aunt Su, and said gently: "It's almost the time of You, the two of you will stay at my house for a night, and Aunt Su will be there tomorrow." It's not too late to find a job."

Aunt Su saw that Shang Kelan's eyes were clear, and Yuchi on the side looked a little indifferent, but he was not a bad person.

So, she nodded and said, "Okay, then thank Miss Lan."

It was still noon, so Shang Kelan simply ordered some steamed buns in the teahouse, the four of them ate together, and went back to the house on West Street.

There were no servants in the house, after Yuchi arranged a place for Aunt Su and Lu Zirui, he came to the east room to change the dressing for Shang Kelan's hands.

In the room, the sun was falling on the window sill, Yuchi carefully applied the medicine to Shang Kelan, and asked, "Does the painting on the scroll have any special meaning to you? I don't see any greatness."

Shang Kelan chuckled, "Aren't I going to redecorate the restaurant? I originally planned to draw the drawings for the renovation, but after seeing the drawing, I changed my mind."

Hearing this, Yuchi paused, subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her: "Do you want that Lu Zirui to decorate the restaurant?"

The latter nodded, but Yuchi was a little dumbfounded.

"If you let Yuniang know your thoughts, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell this restaurant."
