The difficulty of simple strokes was the composition, which was exactly what Li Yi did not have to worry about. He only needed to copy the picture in his mind. It was easy to find similar materials in the simple strokes tutorials he had just absorbed.
As a plagiarist, Li Yi did not need to put much thought into it. His hands were as smooth as flowing water, and it did not take long for a complete simple stroke drawing to be completed.
The servant girl held her sky lamp and looked at it again and again. She could not bear to look away. When she looked up at Li Yi again, her beautiful big eyes began to twinkle like stars.
"Alright, go and do your own things." Li Yi waved his hand at Xiao Huan, then walked out of the door lazily. He sat down on his small stool, leaned his back against the wall, and enjoyed his sunny afternoon.
After absorbing so many things at once, his head was a little swollen, and he needed time to digest it.
Xiao Huan happily held the sky lamp that Li Yi had drawn for her and walked out of the door. She heard a familiar voice calling her from not far away.
She turned her head and saw that in the open space in front of her, a small platform had been built. The platform was not finished yet, and a few young men were busy there.
This was the Qiao Qiao building that was built every year on the Chinese Valentine's Day. In the past, it was the men in the village who helped build it. The person who called her just now was a familiar sister.
Although Xiao Huan was a servant girl, she had grown up in the Liu family. She was even younger than Liu Ruyi, so the two sisters usually did not treat her as a servant.
In the village, there were people who cared about the friendship of the former chief and had always been close to the direct line of descent. Xiao Huan was closer to the women of the same age in the families of these people.
"Is the sky lamp finished? Do you need my help?" A girl with an oval face, who looked two years older than Xiao Huan, walked over and asked with a smile when she saw the sky lamp in Xiao Huan's hand.
If it was in the past, Xiao Huan would have agreed without hesitation. For someone who could draw a mandarin duck, it took a lot of courage to take out her sky lamp.
But today, the son-in-law had already drawn a beautiful pattern on her sky lamp, so she naturally did not need anyone's help. Xiao Huan was about to speak when a mocking voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Huan? Have you finished drawing the Sky Prayer Lantern? " An average-looking girl with a sharp nose and extremely thin lips appeared in their line of sight. A few other smiling girls followed behind her as they walked towards them.
Seeing this group of people, Xiao Huan's pretty face changed, and the oval-faced girl slightly frowned.
"Xiao Huan, let's go." Before Xiao Huan could speak, the oval-faced girl stepped forward and grabbed her hand, wanting to leave.
"What? You don't dare to take it out because it's too ugly?" the woman said sarcastically.
"Liu Mei, don't go too far!" The oval-faced girl turned around and looked at her coldly.
They had never been on good terms with the direct descendants. Although the fights between the women were not that intense, there were often small conflicts like this.
She was very clear about Xiao Huan's painting level. If they saw it, they would be ridiculed again.
"Needless to say, it must be because it's too ugly to take it out …"
"With Xiao Huan's standard, even my drawing with my feet is better than hers."
"It doesn't matter if your drawing is ugly. Take it out and let us have a look. Maybe we can give you some pointers. How petty!"
…
…
The people around the woman looked at Xiao Huan with disdain and spoke up for her.
"What do you want to see?"
At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind them.
Hearing this familiar voice, the expressions of the women who had been mocking them immediately changed. They turned around and saw a young girl dressed in white. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest as she looked at them coldly.
"Second Miss."
"Ruyi."
Xiao Huan and the oval-faced girl were overjoyed and quickly walked over.
"Did they bully you again?" Liu Ruyi looked at the women in front of her and asked.
When her gaze swept across them, the expressions of a few of them immediately changed.
It was obvious that they were afraid of Liu Ruyi.
"They want to see my Sky Prayer Lantern." With Liu Ruyi's support, Xiao Huan was no longer afraid. In fact, she had planned to take out the painting of her son-in-law to scare them.
At this moment, when she opened the bamboo stick, the simple lines formed a complicated painting. A new painting method that had never appeared in this world appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This …"
Although it was different from the traditional paintings they had seen before, no one, including the thin-lipped woman, could tell what was wrong with the painting that was formed by simple lines. In fact, when they saw this painting for the first time, there was nothing but shock in their hearts.
Beside Xiao Huan, the oval-faced girl also had a look of disbelief on her face. Even Liu Ruyi could not help but reveal a look of admiration when she saw this simple painting of a magpie meeting on the bridge.
Xiao Huan held the Sky Prayer Lantern proudly, very satisfied with their performance.
Who asked you to laugh at me? Great, now you've been frightened by my son-in-law …
…
…
The sun today was exceptionally comfortable. Like a lazy cat, Li Yi squinted his eyes and continued to enjoy his sunbath.
Suddenly, the warm sunlight was blocked. Li Yi felt his vision go black. He opened his eyes abruptly and saw the figure standing in front of him, looking down at him. His body trembled and he almost fell off the small stool.
Until now, he still had a conditioned fear of this witch's sister-in-law who had kidnapped him up the mountain.
"What's the matter?"
After a moment, Li Yi came back to his senses. Thinking that things were different now, he moved the small stool to the side so that she wouldn't block his sun and said lazily, "I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
Looking at Li Yi's lazy look, Liu Ruyi could not associate him with the image of a scholar in her heart. Sometimes, she would wonder why she had tied this guy up in the first place.
Apart from his appearance, he looked like a scholar who did not do proper work and did nothing. He was either staring at Second Aunt's chickens or working in the kitchen all day long. How could he look like a scholar?
However, thinking that she had a favor to ask, Liu Ruyi hid all these emotions in her heart.
She handed a Sky Prayer Lantern to Li Yi and said, "Help me draw a picture on the Sky Prayer Lantern. It's exactly the same as Xiao Huan's."
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood that Xiao Huan must have taken his Sky Prayer Lantern out to show off. He glanced at Liu Ruyi and said lightly, "I'll be honest with you. One picture for ten copper coins."
Li Yi had yet to settle the score with her for kidnapping him up the mountain. He had been thinking about this matter for a long time. Finally, he got the chance. If he helped her draw it without hesitation, where would his dignity as a man go?
"What did you say just now?"
Liu Ruyi's eyes narrowed slightly. She touched the hilt of her sword at her waist and asked.
Seeing her action, Li Yi's eyelids twitched. He immediately stood up and took the Sky Prayer Lantern from her phone. He said seriously, "I'm just joking. We're a family. Talking about money will hurt our relationship … By the way, other than what I said just now, do you have any other requests?"
