Ye Wenxin came to Suizhou and did not break the contact with Song Yintang, Ye's pillow box was still with her, and I don't know what was written on the letter, Song Yintang didn't take anything, and then didn't come back to pick it up, so it has been collected by Ye Wenxin, she wrote a letter to Song Yintang when she arrived in Suizhou, and the letter was only sent out for a few days, and before it was delivered to Song Yintang, she received his letter first.

Song Yintang came suddenly, the letter was also delivered to the original address, and there were still some things in it that were not sorted out, so he continued the letter, although the person moved away, he had to hire someone to look after the house, there were vegetables in the vegetable garden, and there were fruits on the fruit trees, Ye Wenlan was reluctant to see the two trees: "Sister has never seen the flowers bloom, the jacaranda phoenix tree, the flowering season is the same color as the clouds on the horizon." "That's where the original Ye Wenxin would like it.

Ye Wenxin knew that his younger brother was bothered, so he pulled him and smiled: "What's so difficult about this, it's not that we won't come back, when the flowering season comes, we will come here to enjoy the flowers." ”

Ye Wenlan chose such a place, just for the sake of her sister, she always wanted to have such a garden, plant some flowers and trees in it, overlook the city outline, and see the mountains up close.

He wanted to make his sister live more comfortably, although the two sisters and brothers had never talked about it, but Ye Wenlan knew his father's intention to send them to Beijing, and later his mother died of illness, and the two were still in the dark.

I haven't seen her for a year, my sister seems to have changed as a person, Ye Wenlan still wants to persuade her to take a look more, and walk all over Suizhou City, who knows that she doesn't need to be persuaded by others, she has an idea, which is much better than the original twilight appearance.

When Ye Wenxin told him that Song Yintang was going to come to Suizhou, Ye Wenlan was still stunned, the Song family was unwilling to have anything to do with them anymore, and they did their best, what will be the future life, when they came, the old lady Song had already said that it only depends on themselves, they have a house and a land, and the income is not bad, and the two of them have enough to live.

I didn't think that my cousin would come to Suizhou, so I frowned and asked, "The old lady and the old lady agreed?" They wanted Song Yintang to go back to Jinling, and he couldn't be an official if he was filial piety, and he was not unfamiliar with those who were on the same list in the same year, but he didn't expect him to go back to Jinling, but to Suizhou.

Counting the days and letting Ye Wenlan wait by the dock, Shi Gui frowned, but Ye Wenxin smiled: "You are young, frowning all day long, and you are about to tie the knot." "The people who gave her "On Learning" and told her how Suizhou was, they were all Song Yintang, and they had heard and seen it, and they felt something, and it was also ordinary.

Shi Gui still sighed, feeling that these two were suitable, but unfortunately there was no fate, Ye Wenxin was afraid that the children's private affairs would be suppressed to the end, even Song Yintang was the same, Shi Gui smiled: "I don't know what the eldest young master is doing here, it would be good if he could go to the countryside with the girl." ”

Song Yintang is famous, Ye Wenlan's identity can't see the light, but Song Yintang is different, that is, with that Song character, those teachings in the county government can't spare a few feelings, Ye Wenxin wants to go to the countryside to recruit students, and Song Yintang can also come in handy.

How do you know that Ye Wenxin laughed when he heard this: "My cousin is here to relax, some people sit in prison, some people seek the way for thousands of miles, he can come out for a walk, it is better than guarding the mountain grave." ”

Song Yintang said that Lao Zhuang said, but this matter can not be broken, although I don't know the exact, I am afraid that it is a major event before the Ye family leaves, he is entangled and unforgettable, instead of sitting in the city of sorrow, it is better to come out and take a look, seeing this scene, where to think about the grief of his own family.

Shi Gui heard her say this, nodded his head, he couldn't get out of the horns, it was better to come out and take a look, just do something at will, Song Yintang is still in the future, Ye Wenxin will take care of the house for him first, and live with Ye Wenlan, one lives in the east chamber and the other lives in the west chamber, which is the study room, whether it is reading or writing, even if you don't care about the article, you can relax and relax when you go outside.

The Ye family moved to a new house, and Mrs. Ji picked up all the things that Ye had stored in her house from the library and sent them to Ye Wenxin, there were many ancient books and old paintings in them, and it was Mrs. Ji's aunt who came to send things. ”

Shi Gui smiled when he heard this, these two are in the right temper at this time, Ye Wenxin didn't like complicated, but the utensils are also exquisite, this aunt invited Ye Wenxin to come over again, saying that Mrs. Ji was discussing with her about recruiting students, and wanted to go to Zhangzhou to collect a batch.

Ye Wenxin changed his clothes and went out, took Ah Zhen with him, and left Shi Gui behind: "You have your business to be busy, you don't have to follow me." Shi Gui still had to run around for a few people to make a living, but it was delayed to follow her.

Shi Gui sent her out of the door, took Bao Zhi and went to see the store again, the hot jacket was almost unbearable, at this time I had to wear a single shirt, there were already herbal tea sellers on the street, Shi Gui looked around, I didn't see any sour plum soup for sale, so I had to buy two bowls of licorice snow water, it was only April, and when it was summer, I didn't know what it was hot to.

Shi Guibai ran a trip, Bao Zhi's father found the owner of the dock shop, the shop of this land can be opened at a high price, and he doesn't have to worry about renting it, where is he willing to lower the price, he doesn't pay back a penny, seeing that it is a young girl, he first took the same point of contempt in his heart, not that she is a woman, but that she is really young, not like she has done business, and when he confided in his intention to suppress the price, the man immediately smiled: " At this price, I can't rent the first two streets inside, it's April now, and in July and August, there are more people on the dock, where are you still worried about business, rent my shop, and make sure you won't lose. ”

But his asking price was too ruthless, Shi Gui didn't want to touch the two hundred taels of silver, Baozhi's father persuaded her to rent it for a year, otherwise the price would increase if it was rented for three months, and these things would be all in vain.

One rent a year is three hundred taels of silver, half a cent refuses to drop, this street is at this price, how can it be negotiated, Shi Gui did not think that it would rise so much, Bao Zhi's father also sighed: "Last year was still two hundred years, and the place is not much, this year it has doubled, it must be because the official ship went to sea and came back." ”

Just in time for the most sdemand, the envoys from various countries disembarked at this port, and it makes no sense that the shops here are not rising, not to mention that there are so many people here, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, Sumu beeswax magenta cotton, everything comes in from this place, there are more than 10,000 dock workers alone, how can the rent not rise.

The aroma of wine is afraid of the deep alley, but if you invest all the money in the rent, the money will be gone, and you can't take out so much, Shi Gui hesitated, and he still lived in the Ye family's house for nothing, did he have to borrow money?

She frowned and asked Baozhi's father: "Although there are many dock workers, there are also many local ones, where do they live, but there are still suitable shops to rent." ”

As long as there is a shop, business can always be done, and in the summer, food and tea will be delivered, and then there will be a penny or two more than what is sold on the dock, and there will be no business if you don't believe it.

Bao Zhi's father listened to her business experience, opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and only said after a while: "In this way, as long as there is a back kitchen, there is no need to bring a shop, such a place can be rented for a year or two for thirty or forty taels, I will find it for the girl." ”

Not only to find a house, but also to recruit people, preferably familiar people on the dock, Shi Gui is thinking of looking for those who are in charge of ships and goods, no one has the idea of eating at this time, she calculated an account, sent a box lunch to the past, three dishes and a soup, and folded some money to the steward, as long as he opened his mouth, these dock workers will have food to eat while lying down, and it is cheaper than selling outside.

Shi Gui thought of two ways, one is to open a shop, the other is to deliver food to the door, she asked the dock shop nearly a thousand workers since the last time, and she already has this plan: "It is best to have an old dock worker willing to do the work, if there is such a thing, the uncle will introduce me for me, and the salary is negotiable." ”

Bao Zhi's father sighed: "This kind of business is difficult to do, the local people have wives and daughters, and they can make food at home, how can they come out to buy it, this business can't be done." ”

Shi Gui didn't elaborate, settled down first, and then recruited people, she laughed: "Uncle, just find it for me, it's best to have a few stoves in a house." ”

Baozhi's father frowned, he still felt that this business would have to lose money, how could he do it, but Shi Gui opened his mouth, he reluctantly agreed, and wanted to persuade her to look at the shop again, only with the shop can there be a business, is it difficult to go to the stall?

Shi Gui made up his mind, but it was inconvenient to talk to him in detail, for fear that he would leak out and lose the opportunity, so he only comforted him and said: "I want to bring one by one to buy, and then I can't push a cart, I can sell more than 100 copies a day, and the business will not be unprofitable." ”

Bao Zhi's father should go down, thinking that she is whimsical, but he does things wholeheartedly, the more like this, the more familiar to the servant, such people are not nothing, dock workers do hard work, it is inevitable that there will be injuries, if the ship owner is kind, he will stay and be a warehouse to see the big shop, get an errand, and he will not die of hunger if he is not full.

Shi Gui has this plan, such a person is the best, and he can also tell the truth and help sell some food, Bao Zhi's father has been on the dock for many years, but he knows several.

"There is an Uncle Wang, the little steward of this shipyard, who fell off the mast and broke a leg, but his head is familiar, so it is a pity that he can't do hard work. "Bao Zhi's father can think that he is the most familiar with the head.

Shi Gui asked, "Does he have a wife and daughter?"

"I had a son, who was also a dock worker, who was too young to do much, and the shipyard gave them the job of looking at the shop. Baozhi's father was still frowning, no matter how you look at this matter, Shi Gui laughed: "When you find a place, call his son to me to have a look." ”

As the two of them were talking, Shi Gui took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, his back was soaked, and his mouth was thirsty, but he had to do it today, he couldn't help fanning the wind with his sleeves, exhaling in his mouth, standing in the shade, and feeling that it was hot, so he was going to buy a cup of herbal tea, and an ice porcelain ou'er was handed to her.

Shi Gui's eyes flickered, and the whole person was covered in shadows, she raised her head, and saw Mingyue standing in front of her, grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and the smile on her face was more burning than the sun: "You really came to me." ”
