When eating lunch, Yu Shu was a little absent-minded, not talking as much as usual when eating, Yu Xiaoxiu found out and couldn't help but say:

"If you're tired, don't do any work in the afternoon."

Yu Shu shook her head, not tired, because the mouse she caught in the morning ran away, and she couldn't directly tell Yu Xiaoxiu that it was a mouse that stole his money a while ago, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

"Why don't I go for you, and tell me what I'm going to do." Yu Xiaoxiu proposed, he was very concerned about the injury on Yu Shu's arm, he finished the rest of Yu Shu's work at noon, and the first thing he did when he came back was to check her injury and give her medicine again.

"Don't get in the way, I originally wanted to talk to the shopkeeper about buying paper yesterday, but I ended up running to Vientiane Street with him, but I didn't say it, and today I have to bring some paper and ink back," Yu Shu gave Yu Xiaoxiu a chopstick dish, gagged him, and said:

"By the way, there are so many compasses in that Jing Wound Hall for what to do, I think the master only takes one is enough."

"At a glance, you know that you never listen to the class," Yu Xiaoxiu forced a glance at her, but still explained: "The Ji family is a Qimen sect, and the divination mainly relies on the arrangement of the plate deduction, three hundred and sixty days a year, twelve hours a day, one hour and one game of hexagrams, that is, four thousand three hundred and twenty rounds, because each game overlaps four times, there are one thousand and eighty rounds in the whole year, and there are more than a thousand and eighty hexagrams in the Jingshu Hall, all of which are useful, should you be an ornament." ”

"It's so troublesome."

"In this way, it is not easy to make mistakes, although the loose disk is convenient, but if there is a slight mistake, it will be completely messed up."

"Loose disk? What is a loose disk? "Yesterday I came back from Vientiane Street and saw the daily progress of Yi Guan, Yu Shu's interest in Yi Xue is much more than a while ago.

"It is a hexagram plate that can be rotated in every circle, there are 24 solar terms in a year, each festival is 15 days, every 15 days is one yuan, a section is divided into upper, middle and lower three yuan, each yuan can be demonstrated with a loose disk, with yin and yang nine escapes to distinguish, eighteen loose disks can demonstrate the pattern of the whole year."

Yu Xiaoxiu spoke in detail enough, but Yu Shu lacked too much basic knowledge, and he could barely understand a general idea, but he remembered another thing and asked:

"By the way, the master assigns homework every day to measure the weather and rain, do you need to use a compass, we don't have that thing at home, how do you calculate it?"

"There is a teaching in the book on the method of arranging the plate, there is no ready-made compass, which game is used to draw it, at most it is troublesome and easy to make mistakes."

Yu Xiaoxiu said lightly, but Yu Shu knew that the Tao was not so easy at all, she wiped the plate all morning, and knew in her heart, this is a thousand and eight hexagrams, the situation is ever-changing, not one thousand and eight numbers, if you want to come easily, how difficult it is, to be honest, the teaching of Sanjue Book House is quite rigid, Yu Xiaoxiu can learn this, draw the plate and calculate it by himself, it is definitely hard work.

"Xiao Xiu, you're so smart." Yu Shu praised from the bottom of his heart, once again feeling that this newly recognized little brother is good, hard-working, and good-hearted, and it is rare that he is still a diligent and studious child.

Yu Xiaoxiu was praised by her coldly, pinched the chopsticks in his hand uncomfortably, lowered his head and urged:

"Hurry up and eat, the dishes are cold."

"Oh." Yu Shu pretended not to see him blushing, picked up the bowl and slowly grilled the rice, and the lunch was a dry fried greens, with a small plate of pickled melon, and he couldn't even eat a vegetarian oil star.

It's also strange that Yu Shu opened the meat and ate mutton the night before, she was greedy, she always ate lightly, her stomach was uncomfortable, she wanted to get some fragrant, and she didn't have much money in her pocket.

Last night, she went to Ji Lao Taijun to be beaten, passing by the small garden of the compound, and saw a nest of carp in the pond under the corridor, which was the time to spawn in the spring.

She loves fish the most.

After lunch, Yu Shu went to find Aunt Liu:

"Aunt Liu, are there shrimp in the big kitchen?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Will you come back in the evening and get me some shrimp?" Yu Shu compared his fingers, "A little bit is enough." ”

Aunt Liu thought she was greedy at first, but when she heard that she wanted Shopee, she felt that it was not the same thing, so she asked:

"What do you want that to do?"

Yu Shu was inconvenient to explain to her that the carp in spring liked to eat fishy, especially the shrimp flavor, so he fooled and said: "I'm useful, you just say it's okay." ”

"Okay."

"Aunt Liu is so nice," Yu Shu grinned with a big smile, and asked her for a big thick needle for sewing a mattress.

When he returned to the house, he rummaged through the small boxes seized yesterday, rummaged in it for a while, picked out a handful of slender red silk threads, tied them one by one, inserted the needles into the wooden seams of the bed boards, twisted the needle tails, tied the red rope at one end, and dragged them several times to try his strength, and then he was satisfied with these entanglements and tucked them under the mattress at the end of the bed.

Yu Xiaoxiu was lying on the bed reading a book, and when she saw her tinkering there, she said, "You have to go out to work later, stop playing, hurry up and sleep for a while." ”

"Uh-huh, I'm going to sleep," Yu Shu closed the box and kicked it at the end of the bed, his feet on it, and he stopped moving when he squeezed his eyes.

Yu Xiaoxiu looked at her for a while, and saw that she didn't toss anymore, so he closed the book, smoothed the corners, pressed it at the head of the bed, and closed his eyes to dream of Zhou Gong.

***

After taking a nap for a while, when Yu Shu arrived at Mianzhai, it was a quarter and a half later than usual, there were two customers in the store who were picking paper, Cao Zixin accompanied him, and when he saw Yu Shu enter the door, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even say hello, so he turned his head and continued to introduce his new jade paper to the guests.

Yu Shu didn't feel anything wrong at first, seeing that he was busy, he didn't say hello, he went around to the back of the counter familiarly, touched the account book and came out, pulled the abacus, opened the account book, and found a recent account that had been calculated well, and looked at it for a while.

She didn't come this morning, but the business in the store was good, and about one or two pieces of silver were in, which was better than the previous two days.

Yu Shu remembered that Cao Zixin went to Vientiane Street yesterday to invite Mr. Feng Shui, thinking that someone should come to see it in the morning.

She looked left and right at the store according to the account book, and there was an unnamed jade beast on the counter at the door, with a big palm, green with yellow, with a boxy base, squatting on it obediently, and the pot of evergreen at the door was also moved to the store, placed under the shelves, not taking up space, but it could still be seen as soon as you entered the door.

When Yu Shu was looking around, Cao Zixin sold two sets of papers, sent the guests to the door, and returned to the long counter to collect the money.

Yu Shu saw that he put a few corners of broken silver into the cash box, so he put his hand on the counter, tilted his head and smiled:

"The people I invited in the morning came to show it, this is really fast enough, and the business is good."

Cao Zixin snapped the money box casually, turned around to tidy up the shelves, as if he didn't hear her.

Seeing this, Yu Shu wondered, she hadn't been here for a long time, didn't she provoke him?

Yu Shu and Cao Zixin have also become acquainted with each other in the past few days, and they don't mind his cold face, put down the account book, and ask the past:

"Shopkeeper? What's wrong with you? Have an uncomfortable throat and don't want to speak? Salty at noon? Oh, I know, you must have asked that feng shui gentleman to slaughter you, and you spent too much money and were unhappy, hehe. ”

Yu Shu said, he was happy first, and he ignored Cao Zixin's face became ugly, and he followed him and chattered:

"I see you bought a jade piece, it's not cheap. To be honest with you, yesterday I went back to Vientiane Street for the first time, the things there are really expensive, the Confucian family's Yi Pavilion you know the way, a broken rope in it costs a dime of silver, I thought, I have been doing it here for a month, I can buy three ropes, hanging is not long enough, it is simply too ridiculous, do you say? ”

Cao Zixin took a deep breath, put the inkstone in his hand on the shelf, turned around, and said with a straight face:

"Where did you go yesterday afternoon?"

"Huh?" When Yu Shu heard him ask, he couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't I go to Vientiane Street with you, and then I got separated, I walked around the street and went back by myself." ”

The more Cao Zixin listened, the more angry he felt: This kid, I looked for him for an afternoon yesterday, he was good, he walked around, patted his ass and went back, he didn't even know the way, it's a shame that he didn't lose people.

Yesterday, the two of them met a scammer selling fake paintings under the archway of Vientiane Street, Yu Shu faked a box of fakes, for this matter, Cao Zixin and Yu Shu were unhappy, and they were angry for a while, turned around and left, and did not go far but found that Yu Shu did not follow, and hurriedly went back to find her, who thought that the person was gone.

Recently, Yiyang City is not very peaceful, there are often teenagers who look beautiful and disappear for no reason, there are some rumors in the yamen, Cao Zixin has heard about it, he is afraid that Yu Shu will be harmed, he didn't find anyone last night, and he doesn't know where Yu Shu's house is, so he went to the government first, and then slept all night in the store, and he didn't dare to go back.

He thought that in case Yu Shu got lost and didn't go back, her family would come to him, so that he could know that he was safe, so he didn't let go until dawn and no one came to look for him, so he let go and slept for a while.

"Shopkeeper, aren't you angry that I didn't wait for you to go back first," Yu Shu finally saw some clues, "Then you can misunderstand, I was looking for you on the street yesterday, but the street was too big, and I didn't find you for a long time, so I went back." ”

Listening to her eloquent words, Cao Zixin said in a deep voice:

"You don't know the way, why don't you run around and wait for me? Recently, there are often boys in Yiyang City who are lost and arrested, didn't you listen to the shopkeeper Wu the day before yesterday, if you are kidnapped by bad people, have you ever thought about what will happen. ”

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment when he reprimanded him, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and after taking a closer look at him, it was not difficult to find that this elegant face, which was always smiling, was now full of depression, and he couldn't see the word demeanor, but for some reason, it was much more pleasing to the eye than usual.

Yu Shu is indeed cautious, but the more cautious a person is, the easier it is to feel that others are good to him.

"Shopkeeper, are you worried about me?"

Cao Zixin was dumbfounded by her sudden question, and wanted to say yes, but he was still angry, and wanted to say no, and he was indeed worried all night, and he didn't know how to respond, and Yu Shu patted his shoulder a few times:

"Shopkeeper, you're such a good person."

Cao Zixin hadn't tasted the strange taste of this compliment, so he listened to Yu Shu say seriously:

"Don't worry, the next time the two of us go to the street, I will definitely not go around, if I get lost, I will stand still and wait for you to find me, don't be angry."

After all, Cao's shopkeeper is an adult who has become an adult, and he can't care about it like a child, hearing her say this, although Cao Zixin vaguely felt that she had forgotten something to say to her, she still eased her face and said:

"Tell me where you live."
