The girl who wears fast

Chapter 762 The Unlucky Sister Who Was Swapped (7)

The people from Jingzhao Mansion left after questioning Liu Shichu carefully. Of course, they didn't get any information about the "enthusiastic hero" from her mouth.

Liu Shichu was not surprised. If it was in the era of advanced criminal investigation technology, she would still be worried about the possibility of being discovered. In this ancient time, there is no need to worry at all.

People from Jingzhao Mansion came to her twice, one of which was to testify that Wang Erniu's family had kidnapped her. After about half a month, the case was closed. Wang Erniu's family committed a heinous crime. , was ransacked and exiled.

When Liu Shichu learned of this result, he finally left the inn and rented a small house in a relatively safe area to settle down.

She is now an ordinary woman on the surface. Although she has the inheritance left by her parents, she has spent more than half of the money because she has lived in the inn for more than half a month, so she must find a way to earn money to support her. Own.

As for why not go to "little aunt" to seek relatives?That's naturally because no one was found.

Liu Shichu went to buy some unique wood and came back. She planned to make wood carvings, some small animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits and birds, and then some more elegant and delicate wood carvings such as small courtyards in the forest, watermills and even miniature gardens.

Her current father is a carpenter with some skills, he can make furniture as well as woodcarving, so Liu Shichu can completely infer that he learned the woodcarving skill from his father by ear.

She has internal strength to carve wood without any effort, and she has various complicated insights, so the animals carved are lifelike and vivid, such as the wooden tiger howling up to the sky, the mighty lion aggressively making a hunting posture, and the vigorous wild wolf. The heroic, round rabbit is clever and cute, and the lazy orange cat is obliquely naive...

It took Liu Shichu several days to carve these small animals, but the result was very good, so she decided to test the waters with these first, to see if people in the capital like woodcarving.

So she took these wood carvings to the street to set up a stall, and once she sat in the busiest place, she set up the stall.

"Mom! I want this big tiger!" A boy of about seven or eight years old with a thick head and a thick head, his eyes lit up when he saw the small wooden sculpture Liu Shichu put out, he hurriedly dragged his mother to the stall, picked up the wooden tiger I watched and watched happily, and couldn't put it down.

Seeing that her son liked it so much, his mother asked Liu Shichu, "Girl, how do you sell this wooden tiger?"

Liu Shichu thought for a while and said, "One tael of silver."

"What? One tael of silver? It's just made of a piece of wood and it's so expensive. You might as well go grab it. One tael of silver is enough for my family to chew for a month. How can it be used to buy a toy?" The boy's mother kissed Immediately, he said unhappy that it was not worth Liu Shichu's selling this woodcarving so expensively.

"Put it down! We're not buying it," she yelled at her son.

"No! Mom, I just want this! You buy it for me..." Her son refused to let go and begged her.

"No, mother can't buy a piece of wood for you to play with for a tael of silver." The boy's mother refused very firmly.

The little boy cried immediately: "Mom, I want this tiger, I want..."

His mother saw him hugging the wooden tiger tightly, crying with tears and snot all over her face. Seeing that he really liked it, she had no choice but to bargain with Liu Shichu: "Is half a tael okay? If it's okay, I'll buy it."

Liu Shichu shook his head: "No way, it took me more than two days to carve it. Ordinary wood carvings are not as vivid and cute as mine. A tael of silver is already considered less."

"Don't buy it! Son, let's go home and let your father carve one!" The boy's mother immediately said, grabbed the wooden tiger from her son's arms, threw it back to Liu Shichu's stall, and then ignored her son's struggle and wept, hugging it. His son left quickly.

Liu Shichu looked at her back, feeling a little melancholy, picked up the wooden tiger, looked at it again and again, did he really sell himself too expensive?But this wood carving of hers is really well carved, the tiger's beard is clearly visible, and every muscle texture on the body looks like a real tiger.

Shouldn't she set up a street stall here, but sell it in some museum shop or boutique art shop?Liu Shichu was thoughtful.

"Miss Liu? Why are you... setting up a stall here?" A pleasant male voice suddenly sounded beside Liu Shichu. When Liu Shichu looked up, he turned out to be someone he knew, the man from Jingzhao Mansion who had sought her out for the case of Wang Erniu's abduction and trafficking. Ask the young adult Du Xiuzhu.

"Lord Du! What a coincidence, where are you going to handle the case?" Liu Shichu asked with a smile when he saw him. Although this young and promising adult has no expression on his face, he is a good person. He told her before , If there is anything that can't be solved, you can ask him for help.

"No, I'm taking a rest today." Du Xiuzhu said, looked at the wood carvings of small animals on the stall in front of her, bent down to pick up a wood carving of a wild wolf, and observed it carefully.

When Liu Shichu saw this, he immediately recommended his woodcarving to him cleverly: "Master Du, do you like woodcarving? This is carved by myself. Although it is not as good as the works of famous masters, I think it is quite good. If Master Du If you are interested, you can buy one and put it on the bookshelf for appreciation..."

Du Xiuzhu was a little surprised when he heard this: "You carved this yourself? Do you know this craft?"

Liu Shichu nodded sharply: "Yes, my father was a carpenter before he was alive. In addition to making furniture, he also made wood carvings. I am also very interested in wood carvings. I have learned from him since I was a child. After more than ten years, I have learned well. gone."

Du Xiuzhu bent down to look at the other wood carvings of small animals, and asked her: "You make these wood carvings, do you plan to sell wood carvings for a living?"

"Yeah, I've been living in an inn for a while, and I've spent more than half of my money. If I don't want to make money, I'm going to live on the streets. But I have no other skills other than making these wood carvings. I can only try to see if I can sell them. I went out for a while..." Liu Shichu said with a troubled expression.

Master Du was indeed a kind person. He picked out a wood carving of a wild wolf and a wood carving of a little rabbit, and said, "I want these two, how much?"

Liu Shichu suddenly smiled, his brows and eyes crooked, and he said happily: "Originally, it was one tael of silver each, but you are Mr. Du who helped me, so I definitely can't charge you so much money, these two one and a half taels of silver are fine." gone."

Du Xiuzhu paused, took out two taels of silver and handed it to Liu Shichu, and said, "As much as you want, you are a girl who lives on this, how can I take advantage of you?"

Liu Shichu hurriedly said: "No, no, why are you taking advantage of me?"
