The next day, Qing Shu stayed in Shuyuan and did not follow Zhou Boyan to hunt. But Qingyang and Qinghao followed.

Zhou Boyan was worried that Qing Shu would be bored alone, so he invited Bu Yuyan and Lord Yun to Shu Yuan before setting off and asked them to accompany Qing Shu.

Qing Shu felt that Zhou Boyan was too worried. She won't get bored, because there's so much to do. For example, you can read a book, you can walk around in the Shu Garden to see the scenery, and you can sort out the purchase order. It's not easy to come to the capital, so naturally I have to bring a lot of small gifts back.

Governor Chen's mansion lacked nothing. But the things in the capital look like Jin Gui, so she naturally wants to prepare some gifts to express her heart. There is also Xiaozhi County in Dexian County, and Kangxi Town in Yuxian Fu, which she remembers and does not fall behind.

Bai Qingfeng, Master Bai's house, the owner of the Shiji Inn and other people who have dealings, she doesn't want to be left behind, and she will take them seriously. There are also the people in their ancient mansions, those who work in the Zhuangzi, on the wasteland, and in the shops, from the steward (shopkeeper) to the people below, no matter how big or small the gift is, everyone must have a gift.

The famous rouge gouache, satin cloth and trinkets in the capital, Qingshu decided to buy more back. These things are women's favorites, both ancient and modern. Besides, the ladies of each family are happy, and their men are also happy, and they are all happy, so why not!

She was going to go shopping today, and she would go shopping after Zhou Boyan left. But Bu Yuyan and Lord Yun had already been invited, so she naturally stopped shopping.

Bu Yuyan couldn't sit still. She didn't go to the poetry meeting of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, first, because she was very impatient with the matter of reciting poetry; The second is that she is about to get married, and she must stay in the mansion to get married, and she can't go out of the mansion as she did before. In the past, she looked down on Lord Yun, but because they basically couldn't meet each other, there was no conflict. But after yesterday's incident, she heard that the county lord of Yun was protecting Qingshu yesterday, and she felt that the county lord of Yun looked a little pleasing to the eye out of the psychology of loving the house and Wu. Therefore, when she saw Lord Yun today, she was very pleasant.

Bu Yuyan is not a female celebrity, and the female celebrity of the county lord of Yun does not seem to be very good. Qing Shu felt that it was not good to let these two who were not familiar with female celebrities sit with him. So after thinking about it, she said, "Do you want to kick the shuttlecock together?" ”

"Okay!" Because of the matter of getting married, Bu Yuyan, who was about to collapse under the control of his family, replied happily. "Kick the shuttlecock for a while, and when you're tired of kicking, you can skip rope."

Qing Shu smiled helplessly, and then asked the county lord Yun beside him, "What does the county lord think?" ”

Lord Yun felt fresh, "Okay." The maid beside her stopped talking, but finally said nothing.

Qingshu immediately asked the maid to prepare shuttlecocks and ropes, closed the courtyard door, and the three of them kicked the shuttlecock in the courtyard.

At the beginning, Lord Yun played very clumsily. However, she mastered the skills in a while, and she kicked well, but she still couldn't kick Bu Yuyan and Qingshu. She stomped her foot anxiously, "This time it doesn't count, it doesn't count, come again, start all over again." ”

Their rule is that each person can play three rounds, and the one with the least sum must learn to meow twice. Lord Yun has always been the one who loses, and he has learned to meow three times. She felt ashamed and began to protest.

Buyu smiled Huan, "Don't cheat, if you lose, you lose, you will be punished, you will be punished." ”

The county lord of Yun blushed anxiously, "It's you who are cheating, you have played before, and this county lord is kicking for the first time, so it's not fair." ”

The more anxious she was, the more Bu Yuyan teased her. "When the rules were set, the county lord didn't object. Since there is no objection, let's learn to listen to the cat call twice, and then talk about the rest. ”

"You, you ......" Lord Yun stomped his feet, turned his face away, and meowed twice. Then ignoring Bu Yuyan, who was smiling evilly, she lifted the hem of her skirt and stuffed it into her waist with an angry face, "If you don't believe it, the county lord won't be able to win you." Step Xiaoba, you wait for the lord of this county. "This step is a little eight, she learned from Qing Shu.

Her maid hurriedly ran up, "County Lord, County Lord, this can't be helped." Then he hurriedly put down Lord Yun's skirt.

The county lord of Yun scolded the maid to retreat, muttering in his mouth, "It should have been like this a long time ago, it should have been like this a long time ago, otherwise the county lord would not have lost so badly." She was complaining that she hadn't lifted her skirt like she had learned from Qingshu Bu Xiaoba earlier.

Qing Shu pondered, she couldn't let Lord Yun lose all the way, if she cried angrily, she couldn't coax her. So the three of them could each choose a maid to be their deputy. It is a group of two, and the total number of two people who play three games is the final result, and then compare with the other two groups of people which group kicks the most shuttlecocks.

Bu Yuyan had a winning heart, and pointed to her maid Xiaoxing, "I choose her." "Xiao Xing can kick, she knows.

Xiao Xing, who was watching the battle, agreed, and came over and stood behind Bu Yuyan.

Lord Yun looked at his four big maids, "Which of you kicks the shuttlecock the most?" ”

The four big girls all said they hadn't kicked it.

Lord Yun stomped his feet angrily, "Stupid, stupid, stupid." ”

Qing Shu was a little busy, "You, you are the deputy of the Lord of Yun." Then he casually pointed to one of the four maids of Lord Yun, "You, be my deputy." "Xiao Juan can kick shuttlecocks, and even she is not Xiao Juan's opponent. She obviously wants to take care of Lord Yun. It's really boring to always let one person lose.

In the shouting and screaming of a group of girls, the shuttlecock was also kicked, the rope skipping was played, the games of jumping grid and losing pockets were also tried, and the time also turned to noon. Qingshu left them for lunch, and the two of them, who were so forgetful, accepted it happily, shouting that they had lunch before continuing.

Lord Yun and Bu Xiaoba were obsessed with the little game of losing their pockets and played it all afternoon. During the period, he laughed and screamed, like a child.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the left urged the right to see the bride to be married Buyuyan to return home. Bufu couldn't sit still, so he sent Bu Wu to pick people up. There are fewer playmates, and it is really tiring to play this day, so Lord Yun also said goodbye. Steward Zhou didn't dare to slack off, and personally took a ten-person guard to send Lord Yun back to the palace.

The two overly energetic ones finally left, and Qing Shu, who was not lightly tired, fell into bed and was reluctant to get up.

Xiaoyu, Xiaojuan, plus Xiaoyou and Xiaohuan, served all the way, and they were tired enough. Xiao Huan went to pass on dinner, and Xiao You went to arrange the master's bathing. The little fish and Xiaojuan left behind, one has to serve Qingshu to wash, and the other is busy with chores.

"Miss, it's time to wash up." Xiao Yu brought the washing water and said.

Qing Shu waved his hand weakly, "Wait a minute, I'm thinking about things." She was wondering what the phrase "Be careful of the six princesses" that Lord Yun said to her when he left. I've never seen it, how did she provoke the sixth princess? But when I thought about it, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It must be inseparable from the fact that Zhou Boyan likes her. Persisted for a few more days and participated in the wedding banquet of the twenty-eighth, she must apply oil to the soles of her feet as soon as possible and leave the capital, a place of right and wrong.

Yesterday at the poetry meeting, Lord Yun made Zhong Xiangrong deflated. Qingshu always wanted to ask Lord Yun who taught her to do this, and she also wanted to say "beautiful counterattack". But thinking about it, it felt inappropriate, so Qing Shu held back. To be honest, Qing Shu really wanted to know who was behind the Lord of Yun, and he wanted to think very much.

The sky was dark, and Qingshu sat under the oil lamp to sort out the purchase order. What has already been purchased, she marks it with her hand. What she hasn't done yet, she thinks she must not forget to hurry up and buy it. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, she will have to go out on the street herself. Some things are okay to be bought by Steward Ding, but some things definitely can't. Things like buying rouge gouache, women's favorite jewelry, small objects, etc., Steward Ding is definitely not good at it, and she must choose it herself.

At this time, the word came forward. Zhou Boyan came back with people, and Qingyang and Qinghao were heading to Qiuyuan.

Qingshu was overjoyed, put down the purchase list and was about to go out to greet him.

"Miss, it's cold." Xiao Yu said, took the cloak and put it on for Qing Shu.

Qing Shu put on his cloak and stood outside the autumn courtyard for a while, and saw the little guy leading the way with a lantern, and Qingyang and Qinghao came back with good arms and legs.

Qing Shu reached out and touched their little faces, a little icy, "Is it cold?" ”

The two of them shook their heads in unison, saying that it was not cold, and then urged Qing Shu to hurry back to the house, in turn worried that Qing Shu would catch a cold. The weather at night is no better than the day, and it is already very cold.

Qing Shu smiled and ordered people to quickly fetch water for them to bathe, and give them the cold to remove from their bodies. The water for bathing is boiled in advance and is ready-made.

After a night of nothing, after breakfast the next day, Qing Shu knew that Zhou Boyan went out before dawn. He left a message, saying that he would not let the three Qingshu sisters and brothers go out today.

Lord Yun came again very actively, with two small radish heads by his side. The ten-year-old little Lori is her sister An Hailuo, and the six-year-old boy is her younger brother An Haichang, both born to the current Sixth Princess. In the past, she didn't like her current mother at all, and she didn't like the three brothers and sisters born to her current mother. Now, she saw the way Qingshu sisters and brothers get along, and she seemed to be inspired, so she took the initiative to tell her mother today that she was going to take her younger brothers and sisters to Shuyuan to play.

Bu Yuyan didn't come. I also want to know that she is a bride to be married, how can she play casually. The step family is open, and she did not prematurely ban her feet. If it is another mansion, he will not let his daughter go out again at the moment when the wedding date is set. Unless there are very special circumstances, you must be accompanied by an elder or brother or sister-in-law in the family.

Another day passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Boyan didn't stop the three Qingshu sisters and brothers from going out. Qingshu packed up and took Qingyang and Qinghao to a wisp of incense bun shop.

A wisp of incense bun shop, before the opening, Qingshu said that it would be hung under the name of Bu Yuyan. Bu Yuyan agreed, but in the end, the shop opened, and the name of the owner was not Bu Yuyan's, but Qingshu's own. Bu Yuyan asked for a shopkeeper for Qingshu in step five. The second brother happened to hear it, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the shopkeeper here.

At the beginning of the shop's opening, the members were simple. three disabled men; a pasting master with an amputated left leg, with a young son by his side; There are two women who make buns and bean paste buns (both daughters-in-law of men who work in the shop).

Now, the shop has more livelihood, good benefits, and more manpower. As a result, the size of the shop has expanded, and the number of members in the shop has doubled. Dude added three. The number of women making buns and bean paste buns increased from two to five. Two cooks were hired, and five people were hired to do chores in the kitchen. A special person in charge of procurement was also hired. Naturally, in terms of recruitment, Step 2 adheres to the principle of giving priority to veterans and disabled veterans who can do things.

Qingshu came here once in five days, and today is the second time to come. Qingyang and Qinghao are here for the first time. Coincidentally, Step 5 was also there.

Second Brother Bu invited everyone to the backyard to talk. There is a room in the backyard that he uses to rest. The room is not big, there is a bed against the wall, and then there are some simple daily utensils. Because the second brother is in a wooden wheelchair, in order to facilitate his access, there is no threshold at the door.

At the beginning, Qing Shu didn't understand the second brother who deigned to be a small shopkeeper. And Bu Yuyan's explanation is that her second brother is idle at home due to a leg injury, and she feels that she has become a waste person as a big man, and she is very unhappy. I can't go to the barracks, and I can't dance with knives and guns anymore, and the second brother Bu is like losing his soul. Bufu couldn't see him so decadent, and thought of many ways, but he couldn't cheer him up.

Step 5 wants to take Step 2 to do business. Buyers and sellers have to go around looking for business opportunities. Bu Wu felt that as long as Bu Er followed him around and changed his mood, he would definitely be able to recover. The second brother refused. After that, Bu Wu tried every means to stuff the account book into his side, and from time to time let people talk about business and business in his ear. In the end, Bu Wu succeeded, and the second brother began to look at the account book, but in the end, it was cheaper Qingshu. The second brother did not follow Bu Wu to engage in business, but he volunteered to be a small shopkeeper for Qingshu, and ran a wisp of incense bun shop with a good reputation. He happily manages the shop and pulls the abacus beads every day.

Qing Shu didn't avoid Bu Wu, and said to the second brother Bu with a smile, "My sister plans to buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing and plant red fruits next year." It's just that my sister is not in the capital, so she wants to hire someone to take care of the red fruit business. Is the second brother interested in taking over? ”

Without waiting for Bu Er to express his position, Bu Wu took her words with a smile, "Sister, the fifth brother is sitting here, why don't you ask the fifth brother if he is interested?" ”

Qing Shu smiled, "If the second brother doesn't answer, it will be the fifth brother's turn." The second brother is doing well, and he thinks about earning money for his sister every day. It's like the fifth brother, who will think about taking the silver from his sister all day long. ”

Bu Wu couldn't cry or laugh, "Second brother, look at her, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth." ”

Second Brother Bu is obviously protecting Qing Shu, "Where did my sister say wrong?" You're a big profiteer, and you never let go of a profitable deal. ”

Bu Wu smiled helplessly, "How can anyone who is an elder brother say this about his younger brother." I'm going to be sad. ”

Qingyang squeezed in front of Bu Wu with a funny face, then walked away quickly, and said, "Fifth brother is laughing, where is the half sad look?" ”

Qing Shu heard this and laughed.

Bu Wu scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, I've only been in the capital for a few days!" I learned so quickly! ”

Talking and laughing, the matter of planting red fruits in the suburbs of Beijing was negotiated. The second brother of Bu is in charge of the general ledger, and the matter of planting red fruits is done by Bu Wu.

Bu Wu is worthy of being a businessman, and he advises yì Qingshu not to plant too many red fruits at once. Seventy or eighty acres of land were planted in the first year. Because it has always been rare that things are expensive, things that are less are valuable, and more things are not valuable. In the years when red fruits were not yet popular, they wanted to earn a lot of silver.

And the division is also good. The initial investment is made from step to step. At the end of the day, all the silver sold was deducted from the silver invested in step five, and then four or six opened. Qingshu is a person who wants to be the shopkeeper, and he doesn't worry about planting and selling at all, only producing red fruit seeds. Therefore, Qingshu Tiyì she accounts for four, step five accounts for six, and she pays for the second brother's salary. It is equivalent to her giving the second brother a double salary. One is naturally the salary of the shopkeeper, and the other is the salary of the person responsible for the red fruit.

There is also a book. If the business is not successful, and the loss is caused by natural and man-made disasters, the loss of silver will be paid by both sides.

The matter was negotiated, and the three Qingshu sisters and brothers said goodbye to Step 2 and Step 5 and left the bun shop. They didn't go back to Shuyuan directly, they were going to go shopping and buy some things.

They didn't walk a few hundred meters away from the shop, and Zhou Boyan chased after them.

Zhou Boyan stopped the carriage and got into the carriage where the Qingshu sisters and brothers were riding. He whispered to Qing Shu, "Are you going back to Shuyuan, or where are you going?" ”

Qing Shu felt that his appearance was strange. He said that he made an appointment with a friend today and would not come back until the afternoon. But before half of the morning had passed, he chased after him, and there was a problem. "We're going shopping. How did you get back? Didn't you make a date with a friend? ”

Zhou Boyan nodded, quieted down, and seemed to be thinking about things. Suddenly, he raised his head and whispered, "You walk slowly, I'll leave a few more people for you." Then he glanced at Qingyang and Qinghao, "I'll take them with me, and I'm going to see someone." ”

Qing Shu felt different, "Who are you seeing?" ”

Zhou Boyan pointed up, but did not speak.

Qing Shu's whole body was shocked, and he grabbed his sleeve helplessly, but he couldn't speak. What's on it? Not the canopy, but the sky. What does the sky represent? Emperor. Finally, what she was afraid of finally came. Why did the Son of Heaven want to see Qinghao? She didn't dare to guess, and she couldn't guess. However, why do you want to go even to Qingyang?

Zhou Boyan seemed to feel her uneasiness, "Don't think about it. That's a good thing, and you should be happy. ”

"I ......" she wanted to say that I didn't dare to be happy, I was scared.

Qingyang and Qinghao didn't know why, staring at the weird brother and sister.

Zhou Boyan stroked her hair, "Just believe me, what do you want to do so much?" ”

Oh, yes! Just believe him, what's the use of her thinking more? She nodded, "Go early and come back early." ”

He wanted to hug her, but she wouldn't. He thought about it, "Xiaoyang, Xiaohao, come down, my brother will take you to meet someone." ”

Qing Shu grabbed a younger brother's hand with one hand, "Go ahead!" Listen to my brother. ”

Qingyang and Qinghao agreed, and sat in the carriage prepared by Zhou Boyan in Qingshu's joyful and sad eyes.

------Off topic------

I overslept at noon, and I was an hour late to get up and code
