Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 109
In the backyard of the tavern, the two old men dressed up and prepared for the portrait.

However, Li Yuanying was entangled by her daughter. On the one hand, her own father asked to paint, and on the other hand, her own daughter asked her to seal her pen and not allow her to paint. What should I do?
"Doudou, it's hard for a father like you to do it. On one side is your grandfather and on the other is you. The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Who do I listen to?" Li Yuanying spread her hands, wondering why. (ps: Sun Laodao: Do ​​I have no sense of existence? Do you still want to heal your illness?)

Xiao Doudou was unmoved, and wrote lightly: "It's very simple, whoever has the most strength will listen to him!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone bench beside him, and demonstrated, "Daddy, I'll go to grandpa for a wrist-wrestling comparison."

Oh my God……

Li Yuanying grabbed her daughter and broke her wrist?You are going to kill the old man.

"I give you a portrait to love you, and a portrait to your grandfather is to show filial piety, so you have to listen to your dad about this matter. Just like you have to listen to me, I have to listen to your grandfather, understand?"

Xiao Doudou pretended not to understand, but apart from crying, she didn't seem to know what to say to refute.

After a lot of effort, she finally persuaded her daughter not to stop the portrait of the old man. Li Yuanying felt that the saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility is too ridiculous. It should be that the greater the ability, the more troubles.

Half an hour later, Li Yuanying looked at the old Li Yuan who was wearing a golden helmet and armor, and couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead, "Father, are you almost sixty years old? This golden helmet and armor is really not suitable for you, so draw it according to this style." You have heroism, but the fastest time to paint is half an hour, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"Stop talking nonsense, the old man is not old! I thought about it, and it's rare to put on this armor again. It's only half an hour. It's very good, so I won't ride a horse, let's borrow your grandpa to draw a portrait of your Suan Ni." Old Li Yuan urged excitedly.

Although Xiao Doudou was reluctant, he also understood his father's filial piety, so he called the lion to cooperate.

Seeing this scene, Sun Laodao looked down again at his whitewashed Tsing Yi Taoist robe and the half-worn dust whisk in his hand, no matter how shabby it looked, let alone the mount, um... As for the mount, I am a Taoist Master, you have to ride a sika deer to fit this Taoist robe, hey... I am asking for trouble, what kind of ostentation can I compare with the emperor of a country?
Thinking of this, Sun Laodao couldn't help straightening his waist, his whole body changed, showing the attitude of a Taoist master, a detached indifference.It seems that this veteran is planning to fight against external factors, but to fight against internal factors.

Li Yuanying had just set up the drawing board and took out the charcoal pen. Before he could start painting, the emperor's family arrived.

The two of Li arrived before the sound came, so they came directly to the backyard of the tavern, and looked up, well, it’s better to come early than coincidentally, it turns out that the fifth younger brother can paint, it is true.

"Haha, fifth brother, you are really hiding something. I heard that you have a wonderful painting brush. Everyone is very jealous. Look, your second sister-in-law, me, and a few other children all want a portrait. Wait a minute I painted it for my father, so how about painting it for us too?"

When Li Yuanying saw the number of people, he didn't hold the paintbrush in his hand, fell to the ground with a thud and broke, and cried out in his heart, my second brother, you bring your whole family here, do you want to exhaust me to death?
Before he could explain, Old Li Yuan reprimanded: "What does this mess look like? Why are you making trouble? I was urging to paint when I first arrived, and they all lined up in the back row. Dr. Sun is also waiting. You guys are waiting for Dr. Sun!" later."

ah?I treat my boss as merciful, because I feel sorry for my little son, and I drove them away. After a long time of trouble, I didn't say a word, so you helped me arrange the task?Li Yuanying was about to collapse, how could she have such a father.

Li Er and the others quickly apologized, but Sun Laodao replied calmly: "It's okay, the old man is not in a hurry."

Xiao Doudou here is about to cry, "Daddy, you promised me to only paint for grandpa and grandpa. Now that there are so many people, isn't my painting less and less valuable?"

Seeing this scene, Li Er laughed and said, "What? Doudou, are you short of money and spent it? Tell the second uncle, if you are short of money, the second uncle will give it to you, why do you need to sell paintings? I will give you 100 taels first, and take it Buy snacks and toys, and come to the second uncle after spending money."

Li Er received an ingot of ten taels of gold from the senior servant, that is to say, 100 taels of silver. ,

But Xiao Doudou didn't pick it up, and said with a little disgust: "Second Uncle, are you treating me like a child? My paintings are priceless treasures, and they are worth at least 3000 taels if sold."

What? 3000 taels?My god, who said that?Li Er exclaimed.

Xiao Doudou pointed at the queen, Empress Changsun coughed lightly in embarrassment: "My concubine said, the painting by Doudou is very good, it can be sold at a price of 3000 taels."

"No..." Li Er was a little dazed, complaining secretly in his heart that his daughter-in-law was a little messed up, talking about calligraphy and painting with a child, and giving a pocket money to coax him, how is it now?It's not easy to coax.

"Ahem, Doudou, what are you going to spend so much money on?" Li Er resolved his embarrassment by asking questions.

Xiao Doudou looked innocent, and replied cutely: "I don't do anything, I just like money, 3000 taels is a lot, I can count it every day!"

Pfft... Li Er almost vomited blood because of this panting, just because of this?
"Hey, Doudou likes to count silver. That's easy. Later, I'll have someone take you to visit the national treasury. It's where Datang keeps silver. There are countless silver. You can count whatever you want, and let you count it to your heart's content." Li Er patted his chest and agreed.

"Really? That's great, I really want to go see it now." Xiao Doudou said with bright eyes.

Li Er winked at the servant Lao Gao, "Okay, okay, go now, let him take you there, count slowly and don't worry."

Well, after dismissing the little niece easily, Li Er smiled proudly at the fifth brother, as if to say, no one interferes, so you can concentrate on painting, right?

Li Yuanying felt a headache, there are three generations of grandparents in this family, six people, when did I draw?Um?Yes, how about I draw a family portrait for them?That's right, that's it.

I really should praise her wit, Li Yuanying expressed her thoughts, and everyone readily agreed, family portrait?That's really great, especially the old Li Yuan, who is full of praise. Don't you just want to have your children and grandchildren around your knees when you are old?

Li Er and his wife stood at the back, in the middle Li Yuan sat on a stool, holding Xiao Changle in his arms, and his grandsons Li Chengqian and grandson Li Ke stood on both sides. The scene of a happy family, Sun Laodao, a bystander, couldn't help but nodded in admiration.

Li Yuanying frowned, "Father, this is a family portrait, your armor is too eye-catching, you should change it, change into ordinary clothes."

"Alright, Erlang, come and help remove the armor for my father..." The old man was very excited.

An hour later, Li Yuanying finally worked hard to complete the painting, sweating profusely. Everyone looked at the family portrait and applauded.

Li Er patted Li Yuanying on the shoulder, and said Wulang is good, and when the Yan family brothers learn this painting, we two brothers will definitely draw another one together.

Old Li Yuan stared blankly at the picture scroll for a moment, his mind full of thoughts, after all he sighed and did not speak, maybe he was thinking of his deceased wife or his other two sons.

"It's a good thing that the whole family can draw a family portrait. Otherwise, I'd be a little worried to see the old man fully armed with gold helmets. And with so many people, I can't bear to draw them one by one." Li Yuanying took a deep breath and sat down. Rest on Shideng and complain to Li Er.

"Hehe, my fifth brother has worked hard. This family portrait is excellent. I will find someone to frame it for my brother, and I will hang it in my study. You rest and rest. When you come to the palace tomorrow, you can draw a picture for me and your second sister-in-law alone." sheet..."

What? ?

It's over, Li Yuanying felt that she was cheated.

Old Daoist Sun, who was also sitting on the stone table, asked in a low voice, "Wu Lang, don't be in a hurry, old Daoist, just wait for your free time to paint."

... I believe you ghost, you old grandson, do you dare to say this to rush me?
