When it was almost dawn, Qing Shu had a dream, and dreamed that he took out one hundred and nine beads and sold them, and a man covered in silver and couldn't see clearly handed out a lot of white silver. Qing Shu was happily about to hug the silver, and the silver light on the man's body dissipated, revealing Zhou Boyan's cold-looking face. Qing Shu was startled, but heard Zhou Boyan say, "Return my precious beads." ”

This surprise was not trivial, and Qing Shuhuo, who was asleep, sat up. She was confused for a moment, blinked, blinked again, touched her forehead, and actually sweated with fright. Qing Shu stinked a face and muttered: I really can't wait to see you.

Because of this dream when he got up in the morning, Qingshu's good mood last night was gone, and there was nothing left. After thinking about it, she took a bead and showed it to Gu Qiang, and asked Gu Qiang if he recognized it.

Gu Qiang looked at it for a long time and said that it seemed to be a kind of bead produced by the sea in the south, which was given to children to play with, but there was no such thing in the north. He also said that such a big size is rare in the south, and asked where Qingshu came from.

Qingshu was surprised, pearls, this is a pearl, it is still so big, and it is also natural, not artificially cultivated. Pearls can not only be used for beautiful jewelry, but also for beauty and beauty, which is a treasure. She told Gu Qiang that this was given to Qingyang by Zhou Boyan to play. Gu Qiang was not surprised at all when he heard this, because Zhou Boyan came back from the south.

Qing Shu thought about it for a long time, but still asked, "Did Yan Gongzi leave Kangxi Town?" ”

"I'm going to stay for two more days, and it seems to be waiting for someone." Gu Qiang replied.

"In this way, you find a time to find Yan Gongzi to see when it is convenient for Yan Gongzi to invite him to come to the house for a light meal. The reason is to thank him for sending the specialties from the south. "Of course, inviting you to dinner is just a pretense, and it is only serious to inquire about pearls and talk about business.

As soon as Qing Shu explained in the morning, Gu Qiang talked back and forth at noon, saying that Yan Gongzi would arrive before noon tomorrow. As soon as this matter was confirmed, Cheng Yaren came to the door and said that a grocery store in the town was going to be sold, and asked if Gufu was interested.

Qing Shu's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was short of a shop, so she immediately asked Gu Qiang to prepare a carriage and follow Cheng Yaren to see the shop.

Zhang Ji grocery store is one of the top two shops in Kangxi Town, and it is also a time-honored brand, which has been in business for fifty or sixty years, and its business has been very good. It's just that the old club fell ill more than a year ago, and I saw many doctors, but I couldn't be cured, so I could only keep it. The old owner was tormented by illness, and he had no intention or ability to keep an eye on the business of the shop, and his children and grandchildren would only bury their heads in study, and they would always look down on the businessmen, so naturally no one was willing to take over the business of the grocery store. His children and grandchildren were reluctant to take it, but the daughters-in-law of his children and grandchildren were all vying and rushing to take the shop for themselves.

Mr. Zhang's family resolutely did not let women get involved in the business of the shop, and dragged the sick body to take care of the business on the shop. During this period, some of the children and grandchildren were imprisoned in other places, and Zhang's family spent a lot of silver taels to get people out. At this time, his children and grandchildren no longer underestimated the affairs of the merchants, but each remembered the prosperous shop, and calculated with each other openly and secretly, just to monopolize the shop.

Mr. Zhang's family was a little disheartened and decided to sell the shop and take his wife back to the countryside to support the elderly. However, this shop is big, and it has to be sold for five hundred taels of silver, and he intends to sell the goods in the shop to the buyer as well, so that it is not a matter of five hundred taels of silver. If the people in the town want to buy, they have to consider whether they have such a large amount of money in hand, and they also have to consider whether they can buy and sell after they buy it, and they will not lose money.

The two tooth people in the town, as well as some friends he makes on weekdays, Mr. Zhang's family has asked for it, and he just hopes to sell the shop as soon as possible, away from the unscrupulous children and grandchildren who make his heart ache.

If there are no big families from other places, this shop is indeed not easy to sell. Feng Yaren agreed, but he didn't run very hard. Cheng Yaren also knew that it was not easy to sell, but he was very diligent and walked around, he had already gone to five large households in the town, and this ancient mansion was the sixth one he had gone, if not, he was ready to go to the neighboring town to inquire about buyers.

Qingshu has seen the shop, very excited, the front is the shop, the back with the yard can live people, the courtyard has a well, and the water is also convenient. It's about the same size as the rice shop she sold when she was in the capital. And the shop is not old, it was flipped three years ago, with good green bricks and wood, and the walls, doors and windows are intact. As long as the groceries and shelves are cleared, redecorated and added tables and chairs, her food shop can be opened.

After looking around, Qing Shu didn't say anything, took the maid out of the grocery store, and got into the carriage to go home.

Cheng Yaren watched the carriage go away, turned his head, and saw the shopkeeper who followed the delivery with a disappointed look, so he smiled, "Shopkeeper, go back and tell your owner, I'm afraid this deal is going to be completed." Seeing the shopkeeper's suspicious face, he said, "If you don't like it, you will refuse directly." This does not speak, does not express its position, it means that it can be discussed. ”

As soon as he returned home, Qing Shu discussed with Gu Qiang, and soon agreed. The following matters, Gu Qiang came out for an interview, and if five hundred taels of silver could be suppressed, some of them were suppressed, and as for the things in the shop, they didn't leave any of them, and when they saw that the things in the shop were all clean, they did the paperwork for the silver.

When Gu Qiang was busy bargaining with Zhang Ji, Zhou Boyan came as promised and went to the ancient mansion for dinner. At the same time, the ancient mansion ushered in an unexpected guest, Bu Wu, who is known as the first genius of Da'an, Bu Feihu.

Dressed in a crescent-colored moire robe, he stepped on crescent-colored satin men's shoes, and his jet-black hair was tied high with a silver headband. Angular facial features, long body. His appearance is five or six points similar to Bu Liu, and his body is slightly thin, without the heroic spirit of Bu Liu. Although he has the unique sword eyebrows and starry eyes of a Bujia man, he does not have the momentum of a Bujia man as a martial artist, and he only has a handsome and elegant temperament.

Although I had heard of Bu Wu for a long time and heard his voice once, this was the first time I had seen him. A handsome man has to take a look at a woman, and Qingshu is no exception. Of course, when she looked at Buwu, she didn't have the shyness and cowardice of a little girl, but she looked generous, and she didn't know how to hide the curiosity and appreciation in her eyes.

Everywhere he went, the little girl paid attention to him, he was used to this, but this did not mean that he was used to Qing Shu's way of looking at people. He coughed lowly, "Yan'er misses the girl very much, and when she learned that she was going to come to Huizhou, she wrote a long letter overnight and sent it to the house." ”

At this time, Qing Shu looked away with a regretful expression, "Thank you Bu Gongzi for sending the letter." She felt that Bu Wu's smile was very faint, not only the smile in her eyes, but also the smile on her face. It's ...... How to say it, well, a little sad. Yes, it's sad, it's obviously laughing, but it makes people feel very sad. What a pity, why is such a handsome and talented man so sad! Bu Wu smiled lightly and said: "Girl, don't be polite, since you are the sister recognized by Yan'er, if you don't give up, it's okay to shout at the next fifth brother, it all depends on the girl." ”

Uh, can it be like this? Qing Shu was a little stunned, he didn't have a brother in his previous life, he didn't have a brother in this life, he never had the experience of calling his brother, and he was a little overwhelmed. If she recognizes this brother, she wants seven more brothers, seven, what is the concept?

Qingyang, who was sitting next to Qingshu, flashed his black grape-like eyes, glanced at Buwu, glanced at Qingshu, and then looked at Zhou Boyan, who had been sitting silently on the side, and said happily: "Sister, Sister Bu's brother is my sister's brother, then, Xiaoyang's brother is also my sister's brother, right?" ”

Qing Shu's face froze, and he tapped Qing Yang's head, "I want you to talk nonsense." Then she naturally looked in the direction of Zhou Boyan, but saw that Zhou Boyan was staring at her with an uncertain expression, she looked uncomfortable, turned her face away, and changed the topic, "Xiaojuan, go see how the kitchen is prepared?" If it weren't for Zhou Boyan's request, she would actually want to give Zhou Boyan a roll of her eyes.

Qingyang pouted, a little unhappy.

Bu Wu looked at Zhou Boyan with a light smile, Zhou Boyan glanced at Bu Wu indifferently, and the eyes of the two people met in one place, with the same meaning in their eyes: You also have times when you are disliked.

When inviting Zhou Boyan, Qing Shu originally planned to follow Qingyang to the table for dinner, and then talk about pearls by the way. The arrival of step five disrupted her arrangement. She hesitated, excused herself to go out, and called Gu Qiang to discuss in a whisper: "Xiaoyang is still young, it is inappropriate to let him entertain the two sons for dinner, and there are some things that Xiaoyang can't talk about." If I go out with Xiaoyang to entertain, it doesn't seem appropriate. What to do? The situation in our house is like this, no matter how it is arranged, it is not right. ”

Gu Qiang also knew this, the Gu Ye clan couldn't take it, Qingyang was too small as the pillar of the future of the ancient mansion, Qingshu was a young woman, and there were guests at home, and the people accompanying him were always inconsiderate. Like Lu Xuanfang, Zhou Mao and others, they are all brothers who have worked together, and they are clear about the situation in the ancient mansion, and they can be accompanied by him, and no one picks on them. But it's not okay to change to someone else, after all, his current identity is the housekeeper of the ancient mansion, and he is a subordinate.

Gu Qiang rubbed his hands, walked around in place, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, stopped, and said solemnly: "Miss, there are two more brothers, they are all strong dependents on Miss, Young Master, and even the entire Ancient Mansion." Since they are brothers, they talk about things together and go out together, and there are relatively few places to avoid it. "One is the son of the military department's mansion, and the other is the son of the general's mansion, with these two talismans on their bodies, to ensure their peace and security in the place.

In fact, in Gu Qiang's selfish heart, it was just a matter of passing for Qing Shu to admit that the brother of Bu Wu was next, and he hoped that Qing Shu could get closer to Zhou Boyan, and the closer he went, the better. In the past, he didn't dare to have such an idea when he was given ten dares, but now it is different, it is Zhou Boyan who took the initiative to approach the ancient mansion and Qingyang, who took the initiative to get close. So, he had some ideas in his mind.

Qing Shu didn't expect Gu Qiang to say this, he sighed slightly, and couldn't help sighing, "Bu Yuyan, she and I just want to be simple and unpretentious good sisters, good sisters without any utilitarian hearts." "The intimacy between her and Bu Xiaoba is sincere, and she has never wanted to cling to the General's Mansion, otherwise she would not have stayed away from the capital to avoid trouble, instead of seeking the protection of the General's Mansion through Guò Buyuyan.

"Miss, you ......"

"Housekeeper, you and my father have a sincere relationship, and they have never abandoned our sister and brother over the years, and I am grateful, and I also want to have such a sincere friend. Besides, Qing Shu is only fourteen, he hasn't grown up yet, and he still wants to be naïve and willful for a few years, maybe ...... Probably going to disappoint the housekeeper. As she spoke, she choked up and covered her eyes, "Butler, don't worry, it's me who bothers myself." I am the daughter of Jiangmen, I should be informal, I should be upright, I don't have to pay attention to those worldly eyes, I twist and pinch all day long, and I don't feel comfortable. ”

"Miss......"

Qing Shu interrupted him directly, "Don't persuade me, uncle. If anyone dares to say behind my back that I show my face and don't know what to do, you must sue me, and you don't have to work hard to hide it from me. I, ah, will let the people who say bad things about me behind my back know that I am not a shameless girl, I am just a savage girl. Speaking of this, she took away the hand covering her eyes, although her eyes were wet, but she smiled brightly, "When the time comes, Uncle is not allowed to discipline me for not having rules!" I'm a general, so I should be savage. ”

Gu Qiang opened his mouth, both frightened by the sudden title of "uncle", and shocked by the assertion that the general's maiden should be more savage, of course, he was dazzled by her overly bright smile, and forgot the words that he was about to remind her that Yan Gongzi and Bu Gongzi were not far behind her.

Qing Shu didn't know that there was someone in the corridor behind him, looking at Gu Qiang's stunned appearance, he smiled and squinted, walked backwards, retreated, retreated......

Bu Wu and Zhou Boyan were standing together, Bu Wu thought that Zhou Boyan would remind Qing Shu out loud, and Zhou Boyan thought that Bu Wu would remind Qing Shu out loud, so he hoped that neither of the two people on the other side would make a sound. Seeing that the person who was walking backwards was about to bump into him, these two people separated left and right very tacitly, and made way for Qing Shu to make his debut.

At the same time, "Miss, the two sons behind are here, don't retreat." Gu Qiang reminded at the last moment.

Qing Shu was startled, let out an "ah", subconsciously flashed his body to the side, and his left foot happened to step on the foot of the man who was dodging. "Yikes!" She stumbled and leaned back.

Buwu, who was unlucky enough to be stepped on, saw that Qing Shu was about to fall into his arms, he wanted to hold Qing Shu and retreat. It is not in vain that men and women are not kissed, he was once bitten by a snake, and he is not as exaggerated as ten years of fear of the well rope, but it is not far off.

At the last moment, Zhou Boyan took a wrong step and arrived in front of Qing Shu, stretched out his hand, Qing Shu did not step backwards into his arms, but crashed into Zhou Boyan's arms.

Time seems to stand still.

At the last moment, Bu Wu, who stretched out his hand to support Qing Shu, stared at Zhou Boyan with a stunned face, something flashed in his mind, but he didn't catch it.

The Savior was so heartbroken that Xiao Juan, who ran desperately, almost hit the wall, holding on to the wall and being stunned.

Zhou Boyan was the strangest, staring at the head of the woman buried in his chest with an iron face, as if he was enduring something.

Qingshu, who was dizzy and had a sore nose and a sore face, waited to ease up, grabbed the clothes on someone's chest with both hands, slowly moved his face away, took two steps back, covered his nose and squatted on the ground, with tears in his eyes, "Well, it hurts, it hurts me." ”

Zhou Boyan's expression softened a little at the moment, and he no longer had a blue face, but he still couldn't change his unpleasant character, "It doesn't hurt you." ”

Qing Shu covered his nose with one hand, heard the voice from above his head, raised his face, and looked at Zhou Boyan with slightly annoyed eyes, Huo Di stood up and immediately went berserk, "Who wants you to be nosy?" I'm going to knock your nose off, can you afford it? She said, taking away the hand covering her nose, "Look, it's all bleeding, it hurts, do you know?" Indeed, there was a little blush under her nostrils, and a little on her hands.

Zhou Boyan frowned, flicked his clothes, and turned around to leave.

Qing Shu didn't let go, and grabbed his sleeve with his free hand, "Stop, don't go, do you understand politeness?" I don't apologize for hitting someone. "Hiss, it hurts."

Step Five stood awkwardly awkwardly, "Girl, it's actually ......"

"Zhou Boyan, you pay me for my nose. I have seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, and you pretend to be deep and cold all day long, as if someone owes you eight hundred taels of silver. I warn you, in the future, if you are far away from my Xiaoyang, you are not allowed to get close to Xiaoyangtao. Qingshu grabbed someone's sleeve and didn't let go.

The green tendons on Zhou Boyan's forehead jumped, "Let go." ”

Step 5: "Gu girl, in fact, he is ......"

"The surname is Zhou, do you agree?" Qing Shu's voice rose, interrupting Bu Wu's explanation again, who was about to be a peacemaker.

"Sister, sister, are you okay?" Qingyang rushed over like a bullet.

As soon as he saw his younger brother, Qing Shu immediately gave up Zhou Boyan, bent down, and hugged Qingyang, who ran with a red face, "Xiaoyang, my sister's nose hurts so much, it's all bleeding, it's all caused by your brother, don't play with him in the future, do you hear?" ”

Qingyang only cares about his sister now, and everyone else stands aside, "Well, well, Xiaoyang remembers." Sister, where does it hurt? Xiaoyang blows to her sister. ”

Zhou Boyan and Bu Wu listened to the black lines on their heads, and hurriedly walked away, not wanting to have any more accidents. Gu Qiang smiled very reluctantly, invited the two sons to sit in the front hall, and did not let them leave.

After more than a quarter of an hour, finally, the food and drinks were ready, and the guests were ready to take their seats.

Qingshu washed his face, changed his clothes, and invited the two sons to the table with Qingyang casually.

Bu Wu and Zhou Boyan looked at each other and were making eye contact.

Step 5: Is this meal okay to eat?

Zhou Boyan: Don't ask me.

Step 5: Won't there be a problem?

Zhou Boyan: Don't ask me.

Qing Shu sat down on the master's seat, and ordered with a smile: "Xiaoyu, pour wine for the two sons." ”

Bu Wu and Zhou Boyan said in unison: "Don't drink today." ”

Qingyang obediently sat beside Qing Shu, and did not lean towards Zhou Boyan like before.

Qing Shu was satisfied, it turned out that it was okay to cheat, it was really a double win, that is, he relieved the embarrassment of hitting someone's arms, and successfully opened a certain distance between his younger brother and Zhou Boyan
