It is said that because Jia Huan is ill, he can't go to school, and Jia Huan's uncle Zhao Guoji has no errands for the time being.

When I arrived at the front of the Derong Xi Hall, I saw a few old women sprinkling water, sweeping the floor, cutting dead branches and wiping the railing.

Suddenly, Caiyun came out of the east ear room, and called a few old women and said, "Come and take a trip and send a piece of clothes to my wife." ”

Zhao Guoji hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and said, "My wife is not at home?"

"Today, the grandmother in Nafu has a treat, and the wife has gone to eat and drink in Nafu. ”

Caiyun has always been good with Jia Huan, and he is not unfamiliar with Zhao Guoji, so he smiled and said: "Brother Huan'er is not going to school today, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Guoji hurriedly said: "I came in for a walk today, because I remembered that I hadn't seen my aunt and Brother Huan'er for several days, so I came here to say goodbye." ”

When Caiyun heard this, she casually sent a mother-in-law and said, "You can bring him over." ”

When he arrived at Aunt Zhao's room, Zhao Guoji looked up and saw his sister, wearing half-worn homely clothes, with a sad face and sighing, sitting on the edge of the table peeling fresh lotus seed meat.

Seeing Zhao Guoji come in, Aunt Zhao put down the work in her hand and hurriedly asked the girl Xiao Que'er to pour tea.

Zhao Guoji took the tea and said politely: "How is my sister doing recently?"

Aunt Zhao sighed: "It's not like that. ”

Zhao Guoji asked about Jia Huan's illness again, and said: "Brother Huan'er's illness is not always good, I think it is nothing more than a weak body, and I should use some tonics." ”

Aunt Zhao waved her hand again and again, and sighed: "How can we treat our mother and son as people in this house." Now that the fortune has fallen again, not to mention the tonic medicine, even the lotus seeds used in this medicine have to be done by myself. Thanks to my wife's dinner, I would still be standing at the door. ”

The rules of Rongning Erfu, not only do they not have the share of aunts at the serious banquet, but they usually eat and drink, and they don't have their place, but they are not as good as the big girls with faces.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang went to eat and drink today, but Aunt Zhao was lazy.

Zhao Guoji listened, and after a long time, he said, "Why don't you ask the doctor to change the prescription?"

Aunt Zhao sneered for a while, and said: "I want the doctor to prescribe some ginseng and deer antlers, but the doctor is willing to open it?" Even if the doctor does, there may not be any good ones?" Zhao Guoji smiled: "There is no good one in the house, and there may not be no one outside." ”

Aunt Zhao took a sip: "This also has to have silver." Even if it's a monthly money, there's no month that is closed on time......"

Zhao Guoji was eating tea, listening to Aunt Zhao say some irrelevant complaints, saying how Tanchun was cold and didn't recognize people, blaming Jia Huan for not listening to her, scolding the girl for being tricky and eccentric, and hating Sister Feng for being unreasonable and black-hearted.

Zhao Guoji was relieved by Aunt Zhao's mouth, and after eating all the tea, he didn't say what he meant. Aunt Zhao said that she was tired, so she fanned her fan and said, "I still have something to do, you go to Brother Huan'er to sit in the house, and then go out after eating." ”

Zhao Guoji had no choice but to go to Jia Huan's house again. Jia Cong and Jia Huan were sitting under the window, playing cards and eating snacks, and when they saw Zhao Guoji, Jia Huan clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Cong and I were talking about going to look for you, and you came." ”

Zhao Guoji stepped forward to ask for peace and asked, "What's the matter with the two brothers looking for me?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I got a manuscript and want to exchange it for some silver expenses, so I ask you to go out and find a bookstore to sell." ”

Zhao Guoji sweated on his forehead, and his face was bitter: "Brother, this is a little joke." This errand is a small business, but this article is sold, and the small one can't even read a few words, so I'm afraid that I will miss my brother's business. ”

Jia Huan looked at Zhao Guoji like this, he felt very faceless, and said with a glare: "If you are asked to do something, I will push back and hinder, it is difficult to pick a light, I can't afford you like this-"

"Brother Huan. Jia Cong patted Jia Huan's shoulder, helpless and funny in his heart, Zhao Guoji is your uncle, don't reprimand him so smoothly, okay?

Jia Huan retracted, and Jia Cong smiled kindly: "Since I asked you to do things, I naturally have a charter." Just do as I say. Whether it succeeds or not, Brother Huan and I will have benefits for you. It also saves you from going to Aunt Zhao to beg for mercy?"

The purpose of Zhao Guoji's coming today was pierced by Jia Cong's words, his face flushed, and he couldn't help but think that if he offended Jia Huan, there was still an Aunt Zhao to turn around, but there was still Jia Cong today, if he offended him, complain in front of the eldest master or the second master Lian, and Aunt Zhao was helpless.

If you do it, it may not be beneficial, and if you don't do it, there will be disadvantages.

Therefore, after a little weighing, Zhao Guoji nodded and flattered: "It's a little confused." Brother just show it, and the little one will do it. ”

Jia Congfang explained his mind again and said with a smile: "I know that you are a straightforward person, and you don't say those nonsense. You can do it with confidence, if something happens and someone makes trouble for you, say that it is my order. It's a big deal, I'll go to the old man and tell him. ”

In the last sentence, although Jia Cong was joking, he might really stand out for him according to Jia Yao's unconventional godson style.

said that Zhao Guoji went out of the gate of Rongfu and was about to do something, but he didn't expect to hear someone greet him.

turned around and looked, but it was Ni Er, an acquaintance who lived under the west corridor. Ni Er was originally a prankster who lent money in the casino, and he loved to eat and fight, and when Zhao Guoji had money in his hand, he also had two drinks with Ni Er, so he could say a few words.

Yin smiled and said, "Second Brother Ni, I'm just going to look for you." ”

Ni Er was half drunk, full of alcohol, and asked strangely, "What are you looking for me?"

Zhao Guoji smiled: "To do an errand." ”

As he spoke, he told Ni Er the reason, and said: "I thought about it for a while, only Second Brother Ni, you have the most connections, who can you find if you don't look for you?"

Ni Er laughed twice and muttered, "I know a few booksellers who know each other, and it's not difficult to help you with this errand." It's just that this article can be sold for a few taels of silver, why did the master of your mansion bother to make such a decision?"

Zhao Guoji sighed: "How can I guess the master's thoughts? But I vaguely feel that I am afraid that it has something to do with the eldest master?"

When Ni Er heard this, he immediately looked at each other a little: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Guoji coughed and whispered: "The eldest master has some elegant hobbies, but he doesn't like to read as much as the second master." ”

Ni Er suddenly understood, and laughed: "Since this is the case, this matter is easy to handle." ”

Outside the West Gate, not far from the Muni Courtyard, there are more than ten large brick houses, but it is a very magnificent shop, with a plaque of Mowentang, but it is a printing workshop.

Zhao Guoji looked at the plaque and hesitated slightly, but Ni Er walked in with his hands behind his back, swaggered his legs up, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Zhou, business is here." ”

The sunset sprinkled a ray of golden light, and the middle-aged shopkeeper in a robe took the book and looked at it twice, shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that this good paper and good ink are good." The article is not talented, the story is still fresh, for Ni Er's sake, I will give ten taels of silver, no more. ”

Ni Er's face changed at the moment, and he sneered: "Brother Zhou, you also made a mystery with me." Do you know where this came from?"

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled: "Where did he come from?" I am a small bookstore, but this little bit of belongings, this is a small profit, looking at you and my friendship, this is the price. ”

The implication is that this is already given to a high place.

Saying that, Shopkeeper Zhou said again: "It's difficult to do business now. This book is not like the text, the number of words is really a lot, I only have ten carvers in this shop, that is, I have this book, and I have to ask the workers to carve it out in a hurry, deduct the day, and send it to the merchants of other provinces, if it is late, fill in a sum of silver in vain. Besides, I am a serious businessman, I changed to another place, I saw the story well, and the author had no literary name, so I asked someone to draw a gourd in the same way, ghostwriting an article, and even these ten taels were saved. ”

Ni Er is a black man himself, who doesn't know the dark side of these societies. With an impatient face, he turned his head and was about to turn around: "You old Zhou, when you ate and drank in the past, you only hated that the relationship was not hard, and there was no power to climb...... The profiteers who are ignorant of copper also dare to say that they are Confucian businessmen. ”

Listening to Ni Er's words, the shopkeeper Zhou was clever and grabbed Ni Er: "How do you say this?"

Ni Er pointed at Zhao Guoji: "Do you know who he is?" Uncle Zhao of Rongguo Mansion. ”

patted the book again, and deliberately said vaguely: "This book came out of the room of the lord who attacked the lord." Tsk!"

Shopkeeper Zhou immediately changed his face, laughed dryly, and pulled out a smile on his face: "Why didn't ......you say it earlier?"

Don't say who did it.,Just this book came out of Rongguo Mansion.,You can make a big fuss.。

"Who made you Lao Zhou only recognize money with two eyes? The owner of this book doesn't want to show up, but I also think about our friendship, you are so ......"

Ni Er's face sank, and he lost his voice.

After a few days, this day is already the season of the lantern, Jia Cong eats, leans on the railing alone, closes his eyes and recuperates, Granny Li has already gone to the lazy house, Cuixiang went to urge water, waiting for the bath.

I only heard someone shouting: "Brother Cong." ”

When I opened my eyes, it was Jia Huan who came running, and Jia Cong was a little strange: "It's all this hour, why did you come here suddenly?"
