When it was almost dawn, Yu Shu was woken up by a rooster crow, she yawned, as soon as she opened her eyes, she found that something was wrong, sat up from the bed and looked, she was lying on the bamboo bed that Qingzheng Taoist usually slept on.

Oh no, I got drunk last night and didn't go back!

Yu Shu wiped his face, hurriedly picked up his shoes and got out of bed, folded the quilt randomly, and went outside the house to see that Qing Zheng had already left, and there was only an empty wine jar on the stone table in the courtyard.

"I didn't expect this wine to taste very good, and the stamina is quite big." Yu Shu picked up the cushion on the ground, threw it on the rattan chair, and walked out of the door while tying her hair, it was still early, the alley was empty, she ran all the way home, pushed the door open, presumably Yu Xiaoxiu left her the door all night last night.

The small courtyard was quiet, the hens and chicks in the chicken coop hadn't gotten up yet, Yu Shu gently pushed open the door of the hall, saw the figure rising on the bed against the wall, and sighed secretly, fortunately, she didn't return last night, Zhao Hui and Yu Xiaoxiu didn't find it, otherwise how could Xiaoxiu sleep in bed peacefully, and look for her all over the street.

“… Sister? Although Yu Shu's voice of opening the door was soft, it still woke Yu Xiaoxiu up, turned around, peeked out of the quilt, rubbed his eyes and said, "When?" ”

"It's still early, sleep a little longer, and I'll call you later."

A night of hangover, fortunately, there was no headache and hoarseness, Yu Shu pushed open the bedroom door and looked at Zhao Hui, then quit and went to the kitchen to light the fire, ready to make breakfast, while adding firewood, while recalling what Qing Zheng said to her yesterday.

She had guessed before that Qing Zheng Daoist would ask her to help find something, it would definitely not be so easy to get it, but she didn't think that Qing Zheng would let her snatch something from Si Tianjian's big topic, isn't this a tiger plucking hair from his mouth, "Xuannu Liuren Book" and other treasures, the only thing in the world, it is really not ordinary to think of it, she has to have a careful plan first.

If you want to find Xuannu Liurenshu, you have to go to the capital, Zhao Hui's body has not recovered, she definitely can't just go, and Yu Xiaoxiu, she is not at ease about leaving him alone in the Ji family, but if she wants to take him to Beijing with her, she is afraid that she will not be able to take care of him.

"I don't know anything about the capital now, let's go back in the evening and discuss it with Master, he hasn't told me what it looks like yet." Yu Shu muttered a few words to herself, stirred the porridge in the pot, and pressed the bridge of her nose, always feeling that Qing Zheng had explained something to her last night, and she forgot about it for a while.

***

Yu Shu stayed in Taiheng for a morning, and when it was almost noon to eat, she saw Pei Jing and Xingqi, who were looking at the account books in the backyard account room, and someone came to call her, saying that Pei was waiting for her outside.

Yu Shu packed up his things and went to the front yard, and as soon as he passed through the hall, he heard Xingqi's loud voice: "Xiaoyu, you're hungry, let's go, I'll take you to have a good meal." ”

Pei Jing and Xingqi sat on the Weihu chair at the door, the former looked at her with a smile, the latter waved at her, Yu Shu walked over and said, "Mr. Pei, the shopkeeper." ”

"Let's go, there is a restaurant on this Vientiane Street, and the dishes are very delicious, so I will take you to taste them." Pei Jing didn't mention the rain yesterday, and took the lead to take the carriage outside.

Yu Shu sat in Pei Jing's carriage last time, but the furnishings in it were changed, the mahogany coffee table was replaced by a four-legged pineapple wood case, and the tea set was also replaced by a set of delicate blue and white flowers.

"What did you do this morning?" Pei Jing asked.

"I checked a few accounts, and I looked at the timber business in Huaidong last year." Yu Shu said.

Pei Jing nodded, and suddenly the topic changed, and said, "Xiaoyu, how many years have you been learning Yi?" ”

Yu Shu had thought that he would ask today, so he replied unhurriedly: "I learned it at the same time as arithmetic." ”

Of course, Pei Jing heard that she was sloppy with herself, but she was not unhappy, but smiled: "Yesterday you said that you are best at the speculation that Qingyu is the best, right?" ”

Yu Shu touched his neck embarrassedly: "It's better to do this." ”

"How far can you count it?"

Yu Shu thought for a while: "Three days." She didn't know how many days Mr. Yiguan Riddle could count, but it was probably only five days, and the maximum number she could calculate was within five days.

Pei Jing nodded, didn't ask her anything else, and instead talked about the deal that was discussed yesterday afternoon, and didn't mention Yu Shu about yesterday's rain along the way, as if he had forgotten about this file, Xingqi glanced at Yu Shu from time to time, and saw that her face was as usual, and nodded secretly.

While speaking, the carriage arrived outside a restaurant, and the three people got out of the car, Xiao Er recognized people, and one Mr. Pei respectfully invited to the elegant seat on the second floor.

In ancient times, there was no menu in the restaurant downstairs, and there was a string of food brands hanging in the cashier's place, usually after the guests sat down, Xiao Er would introduce the signature dishes, or there were regular customers who would order their own dishes, Pei Jing obviously belonged to the latter, and reported the names of seven or eight dishes in one breath, and the most rearly seven had a pot of wine.

The ancients did not say anything about their food, most of them were literati and scholars, and businessmen were often at the wine table, so it was impossible to keep this festival, Xingqi was very talkative, Pei Jing spoke well, Yu Shu was on this, eating her food quietly, not dripping wine, listening to them chat, Xingqi asked when the time came, and occasionally expressed a sentence or two of opinions.

When the last soup was served, Pei Jing opened his mouth to Yu Shu:

"Xiaoyu, how about I delegate you one more thing?"

Yu Shu thought about it for a while, and guessed that Pei Jing might want her to do something, and sure enough, after she nodded, she listened to Pei Jing:

"Doing business, it has a lot to do with the weather, I often ask someone to calculate in the Yi Pavilion, the Confucian Yi Pavilion charges me twenty taels of silver every month, but yesterday I missed me, I will send you this money now, you give me a calculation of rain every month, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Shu and Xing Fat were both stunned, Xingqi looked at Pei Jing again and again, with doubts and disapproval in his eyes, but Pei Jing didn't seem to see his eyes, waiting for Yu Shu to react.

Twenty taels is not a decimal number, this Da Yi Pavilion is really a black place, Yu Shu sighed with emotion, and was not busy with this good thing, but said bluntly: "Sir, because I said that there was a rain yesterday, did you entrust this matter to me, in case I was lucky yesterday, you didn't spend these twenty taels in the wrong place." ”

Pei Jing looked at her at this time, but he thought about him in turn, and couldn't help laughing: "Then you were lucky yesterday?" ”

Yu Shu shook his head: "Naturally, it's not Meng." "She worked hard to figure it out, and there was nothing to be humble.

Pei Jingwaner: "Then do you want these twenty taels?" ”

Yu Shu didn't hesitate this time: "Yes." ”

For what not to do, she can guarantee that she is more accurate than the one in the Yi Pavilion, and Pei Jing gives her the money, which is definitely worth the money.

"Ha Luha, this kid is welcome." Xingqi pointed at Yu Shu with his wine glass, although he didn't know why Pei Jing suddenly made this decision, he didn't ask in front of Yu Shu.

Full of wine and food, Pei Jing settled the account, the three of them walked to the side of the road, when Yu Shu got into the car, he stumbled under his feet, held on to the car door and stood firm, Yu Guang looked at a circle of red silk threads tied to the wheels, and suddenly remembered what the incident he had forgotten in the morning, so he said seven words to Pei Jinghe:

"I'm going to go to East Street to buy something, Mr. Pei and the big shopkeeper will go first."

Pei Jing said: "Send you?" ”

"No, it's just a few steps away." Yu Shu took two steps back, watched the carriage turn and leave, and then walked in the direction of the Confucian Yi Pavilion, patted his head, and muttered:

"Hey, should I buy one or two?"

***

On the carriage, Xingqi looked at Pei Jing, who was calmly drinking herbal tea, and said with a wry smile: "Second brother, if you have the heart to give him a red envelope, there is no need to raise him like this, twenty taels a month, give it to Yi Pavilion and pay it back, give it to such a child——"

"Do you know where I went after eating at noon yesterday and before it rained?" Pei Jing interrupted Xingqi and complained, "I went to the Confucian Yi Pavilion and asked about the day's rain again, guess what they told me?" ”

"How?"

Pei Jing smiled: "They must have said that there was no miscalculation, there would be no rain, but it only took half an hour for the rain to fall." ”

Xingqi hesitated: "The matter of this weather is not tenth, even if it is the Confucian Yi Pavilion, it is common to have a miscalculation once in a while." ”

Pei Jing shook his head, his expression was intriguing: "Didn't you notice that Xiaoyu brought an umbrella yesterday, the weather was so good in the morning, but he still brought an umbrella when he went out, which shows that he is quite sure that it will rain that day, and he even changed his shoes. ”

Xingqi shook his head strangely.

"That's it, the first time I saw him, he was gambling in the gambling house, and then I followed him, he actually went to the library of the Great Yi Pavilion to copy books, ten taels of silver a book, he looked at it, like a person who can waste this money? You also saw it when I was eating just now, I opened my mouth to give him twenty taels, but he didn't politely say it, do you think he is blind, he thinks he is qualified to take that money, in other words, he has real skills. ”

"Ho, is it that powerful?" Xingqi glared.

Pei Jing touched the teacup and said: "Xiaoyu, this child has some origins, I sent someone to check, his sick relative is not his own family, he only moved to the place where he lives two months ago, a woman who sets up a stall to sell snacks, and has a nephew who is actuarial and easy, hehe, do you believe it?" ”

Xingqi was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Then if we keep him, will there be trouble?" Second brother, you still help him like this, you want me to see it, find a chance to send him away. ”

"Line seven," Pei Jing called him softly, his eyes were sharp: "Don't bully the young man to be poor." ”
