After getting Qing Shu's orders, Li Dalang ignored Gu Shi on the side of the road and drove the carriage over.

Gu Shishi's mouth grinned, closed it suddenly, he was stunned, and hurriedly led the horse to follow, "Hey, I'm Gu Shishi, I'm the entourage of Yan Gongzi, we came all the way from the capital together, why didn't we recognize it so quickly?" Hey, wait for me, Childe brought something for Young Master Gu......"

Qing Shu in the car muttered a really noisy sentence.

The curtain of the car was opened, Xiaojuan showed her face and said fiercely: "Don't talk to you, shut up." If you dare to follow us again, I will beat you. With that, he waved his fist.

Gu Shi almost tripped over his left foot and fell on his right foot. He was stunned and said, "Why are you so fierce? Same as Miss Koo. ”

Xiaojuan, this girl is so fierce, she lifted the curtain of the car door and jumped out of the car, not only scared Qingshu and Xiaoyu in the car, but even the strong men who guarded the carriage in the ancient mansion were startled. Xiao Juan crossed her waist and glared at the stone angrily, "If you have the guts, you can say it again." "If you dare to say bad things about Miss, she won't agree.

Gu Shishi was afraid, and retreated again and again, "Hey, that, hey, you, what do you want to do?" ”

Seeing that he was scared like that, Xiaojuan snorted very disdainfully, and put down her words, "If you dare to say bad things about Miss again, your aunt and grandmother will see you once and beat you once." ”

Gu Shishi, you have been for a long time, and I can't find anything to say, what kind of girl is this, open your mouth is my aunt.

Xiao Juan raised her chin, snorted heavily, caught up with the carriage, and walked on the side of the carriage.

Gu Shi, who was left behind, was depressed and muttered: "It's obviously very fierce, and it's really unreasonable to not let people say it." He scratched his head, got on his horse listlessly, and went back to the Shiji Inn where he was staying.

Seeing Zhou Boyan, Gu Shishi immediately found the object of complaint, "Childe, Miss Gu doesn't care about people, the girl next to Miss Gu is very fierce, she said that she was going to beat me, but she didn't let me speak, and the things you brought to Young Master Gu were not delivered." He put the big burden in his hand on the table, "Look, look, how to take the small one, how to get it back for you." He didn't say that he was in a hurry to show his feelings, and took it upon himself to take the burden.

Zhou Boyan didn't seem to hear it, just sat in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"The hateful girl, she is not good-looking, and she is so fierce, I don't think she will be able to marry in her life...... Miss Gu is not very fierce, although people in the capital say that Miss Gu beat Ding Ze on the street, you can go all the way from the capital to Jinyang City, and it doesn't look fierce! It's gentle...... Hmph, gentleness must be pretended, it must be very fierce, otherwise how can there be such a fierce girl......" Gu Shishi muttered endlessly.

Zhou Boyan opened his eyes, "Get out." ”

"It's still Young Master Gu, it's a good person, and ...... temper" Gu Shihuo turned sideways, his eyes lit up, "Childe, you're finally awake, great, Childe, I'll sue you ......"

"Get out." Zhou Boyan couldn't help but say.

Gu Shishi was dumbfounded, then drooped his head, let out a weak sigh, and went out depressed.

Zhou Boyan shook his head helplessly, wondering if he was too indulgent to Gu Shi, but hurt Gu Shishi, so that Gu Shishi could develop such a temperament, stupid and heartless all day long. If it's okay in front of him for the rest of his life, he can always protect such a Gu stone; On the contrary, if the stupid Gu Shi leaves his wings, can he live well?

But in a quarter of an hour, Gu Shishi, who was going out with his head drooping, came in again with a smile on his face, "Childe, Mr. Lu is here." ”

Zhou Boyan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Please come in and speak." ”

Gu Shi went out, quickly invited Lu Xuanfang in, made a pot of tea, poured tea for Zhou Boyan and Lu Xuanfang, and brought the door when he went out, and guarded the door.

As soon as the door closed, Lu Xuanfang immediately glared, "Stinky boy, you are not small, you dare to calculate on Mr.'s head." ”

Zhou Boyan took a sip of tea, "I'm not familiar with you, and I'm not a stinky boy." Besides, you are a poor literati, there is nothing worth my calculation. He said with a poisonous mouth.

Lu Xuanfang listened, smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Stinky boy, it's useless to pretend to be stupid with Mr. As soon as I received the old man's letter, my husband knew that it was you who had done it. Come, tell me sir, how did you fall in love with Miss Qingshu? ”

Zhou Boyan looked at him with an idiot's eyes.

Lu Xuanfang didn't care, "Pretend to be stupid with Mr." It's useless to play stupid. Tell me about you, who you don't like, but you fell in love with the brute girl of the Yunhu family. It's a big girl, you want to marry, it's not easy. But you stinky boy is smart, first escorted the brute girl all the way back to his hometown, and then asked the old man to help him let Mr. I go out of the mountain to teach Qingyang boy, and I behave in front of the brute girl everywhere. Stinky boy, you can do it, at this point, Mr. is far inferior to you. If Mr. had half the heat of yours back then, he would have ...... early," as if thinking of something, he stopped talking.

Zhou Boyan said coldly: "You don't have to talk to me, my caravan has to go to southern Xinjiang several times a year, and everyone knows it, so you insist on escorting it, follow you." ”

Lu Xuanfang smiled, "You kid don't have to pretend to be with Mr. One, your caravan is full of talent, and you don't need to escort it in person. Second, you went on this special trip, not to make money, but to escort the herbs that the barbarian girl purchased for the frontier soldiers. ”

"You know every move of the ancient mansion well, and it seems that you have put your mind on the big and small things of the ancient mansion. However, you must not know what materials the ancient mansion sends to the frontier every year, and the ancient steward is in charge. This year, herbs were prepared, not winter coats; This year's supplies will be sent to southern Xinjiang instead of western Xinjiang. Miss Gu may not know about these things. Zhou Boyan paused, "Let's say, the reason for coming here on purpose." "Meaning, joke time is over.

Lu Xuanfang's eyes suddenly darkened, "After I return to Beijing, help me do something." "He's no longer calling himself a gentleman.

Zhou Boyan glanced at him.

"Kill a person, abolish a person." Lu Xuanfang said, took out a note from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of Zhou Boyan.

Zhou Boyan didn't even look at it, "Please be smart." ”

"You do me this favor, I am willing to spend five years dedicated to guarding and cultivating your benefactor's son for you." Lu Xuanfang promised.

Zhou Boyan's expression was a little colder, "No need." ”

"You kid......"

"Both the son of my benefactor and the son of yours. I repay the favor in my way, and you repay the favor in your way, and there is no conflict with each other. Don't use this excuse to calculate me in the future. ”

Lu Xuanfang was rarely discouraged, "Dead boy, what to do so shrewdly is not pleasing at all." ”

Zhou Boyan ignored it.

Lu Xuanfang took back the note, unfolded it, sighed, and stood up with a frustrated face, looking like he was leaving. However, he suddenly handed the unfolded note to Zhou Boyan, "You can't look at it in vain, you have to be responsible if you read it." ”

Inevitably seeing the two names on the note, the green tendons on Zhou Boyan's forehead jumped, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm blind and can't see anything." ”

Lu Xuanfang didn't care, shoved the note into his hand, and walked out humming an unknown tune. When he went out, he immediately changed his appearance, stopped humming in a minor key, put on a gentle and elegant literati style, and seriously explained to Gu Shi with a sentence of "take care of your son", and left the inn.

Zhou Boyan rubbed his eyebrows, took the flint, and burned the hot potato in his hand. If you want to yin him, no way, he's not easy to fool. It's just that Li Haitang and An Hai Rongcheng, why are they such two names? can make an unruly and treacherous person like Lu Xuanfang hold a grudge, these two people really have some ability.

On the second day, Zhou Boyan took two carts of things to the ancient mansion, and asked Gu Shishi to hand over the stickers seriously.

At that time, Qingshu and Qingyang were sitting together talking, and Gu Qiang personally took the post and asked Su's mother to send it to Qingshu and Qingyang.

Qingshu just wanted to say no, but Qingyang happily got out of the chair and shouted that Brother Yan went out to greet him.

Qing Shu was very depressed to find that every time Zhou Boyan appeared, her Xiaoyang would give up her sister and run to get close to Zhou Boyan, she suddenly felt unbalanced in her heart, but she still sent Xiaoyu to the front to serve.

In the living room in the front yard, Qingyang sat in a regular manner, answering Zhou Boyan's questions seriously and attentively. Zhou Boyan asked about Qingyang's daily life, as well as academic matters, and finally sued Qingyang, if he didn't like this master, he would sue him, and he would find another master who was famous in the world for Qingyang.

Lu Xuanfang, who was about to step inside, heard it and coughed, "Who is saying bad things about Mr.?" ”

Qingyang hurriedly got up to greet his husband, and Zhou Boyan sat still at all.

Lu Xuan just sat down with a smile, but Zhou Boyan stood up.

"My brother has brought you some rare things from the south to play with, let's go, go ahead and have a look."

Qingyang raised a smile and left the chair to follow.

Lu Xuanfang coughed.

Qingyang's steps to walk out stopped, and he immediately put away his smiling face, straightened his face, and stood straight like a little adult, waiting for Mr. to speak.

Zhou Boyan glanced at Lu Xuanfang, who was swinging the master's score, and clasped his big hand on Qingyang's little head, "Mr. Lu's voice is uncomfortable, he is not calling you, let's go!" As he spoke, he took Qingyang out of the living room, then bent down, picked up Qingyang with one hand, and then lifted the person high and put it on his shoulders, so that people could sit firmly, and strode forward with both hands.

Qingyang was startled at first, but then reacted, kicking his little feet, waving his hands, and giggling.

Zhou Boyan didn't stop his excited movements, but just helped people steadily, and didn't care whether he ruined his image as a noble son, and walked with a smile.

Gu Qiang was frightened, not worried that Qingyang would fall, but with Zhou Boyan's identity, he was afraid that it would be inappropriate. He relieved himself and wanted to stop him, but Lu Xuanfang, who was already standing outside at some point, grabbed him, and shook his head lightly with a smile, meaning to let him not go over.

Gu Shishi, who was staring at the unloading of the car, saw his son-in-law walking over with Gu Qingyang on his shoulder, with a ghostly look, his eyes glared at the boss, and his fingers trembled, "This, this, this ......" He has been here for a long time, and nothing has come out.

Gu Shishi remembers it clearly. The year before last, the little devil in Princess Jingyang's mansion grabbed his son-in-law and wanted to ride a big horse, and his son-in-law slapped the little devil's buttocks, which provoked the little devil to cry. His son-in-law not only did not coax, but threatened not to cry, and beat him again after crying. The little devil cried and complained to Princess Jingyang, and his son-in-law actually slapped the little devil's ass in front of Princess Jingyang. Since then, the little devil king is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is afraid that his son will return to Beijing.

Last year, the three-year-old princess in the palace was clamoring to let his son-in-law hug him, but his son-in-law had a black face and cried at the three-year-old princess.

This year, the five-year-old young master in the third son's room ran into his son-in-law's room, messed up his son-in-law's clothes and tore the books, and his son-in-law also had a black face, took the little master out, and stuffed it to the little boy he found, and the scared little master cried.

In short, his son-in-law doesn't like the reputation of children, and it is surprising enough to be close to Gu Qingyang and talk to Gu Qingyang in a good voice, and now he still carries Gu Qingyang and coaxes him, and he is so happy, this, this, this...... It's so frightening.

Zhou Boyan carried the excited Qingyang to the carriage, and there happened to be a wooden box that was moved down and put on the ground. He didn't let people move away, but said to Gu Shi, "Open it." ”

Gu Shishi hadn't recovered yet, and he hadn't heard his son-in-law's order at all.

Zhou Boyan glanced at Gu Shishi, who had a ghostly expression, frowned imperceptibly, and said in his heart why he was starting to be stupid again. He took Qingyang off his shoulders, put it on the ground, opened the wooden box by himself, and said to Qingyang: "It's all for your little things, take a look, do you like it or not?" ”

Qingyang's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit at this time, and he nodded and said he liked it without looking at it. The first time, he was carried on his shoulder, that feeling, he couldn't tell, he only knew that he liked it very much, and he was very happy, just like being held by his sister and walking.

Zhou Boyan squatted down and took a short sword carved from wood from the wooden box, "This was given to you by the soldiers at the border gate." "Put it down, pick up a white cat's eye bead, "This is a kind of bead from the seaside, there are about a hundred of them, it is good to play with marbles." Put it down and pick up a palm-sized iron box, "This one has a small mechanism, and you can take it out and play for a while when you are tired of reading." There are also books on tricks below, so if you like it, you can take a look......"

There are about 40 books such as miscellaneous notes, agricultural books, travelogues, and local chronicles. Boys also have wooden knives, swords, guns, and slingshots. There are more than a dozen small objects with mechanisms. There are also seven or eight carved cows, horses, and birds carved from wood. There are also stones and shells of various shapes that can only be found on the seaside.

Qingyang had never seen anything on the seaside, so he touched and touched it with a strange face, and asked what this was for a while, and then asked what it was? Zhou Boyan answered them one by one, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't understand. As a result, Zhou Boyan's image in the little Qingyang's heart became taller and taller.

Of course, Zhou Boyan sent not only these small things, but also a whole cart of dried fish and sea rice (dried shrimp) produced on the beach, 500 catties of sun-dried kelp, ten horses of silk in the south, four horses of cotton cloth different from the north, and some pastries and snacks in the south.

It is rare for Qingyang to be so happy, although Qingshu does not wait to see Zhou Boyan, he also arranges a sumptuous lunch and asks Qingyang to entertain his brother Yan.

The younger brother wants to entertain guests, and Qingshu eats it in the house by himself. After eating, she picked up the gift list sent by Su's mother and looked at it. When she saw the dried fish, sea rice and kelp on the gift list, her heart beat so much, these are all good things! Well, for the sake of Zhou Boyan's very eye-catching good things, she can treat him a little bit as an adult, just a little.

Before going to bed at night, Qingyang pulled Qing Shu to see the box of treasures he got, and introduced the contents to Qing Shu in the same way as Zhou Boyan.

When Qingyang took a white cat's eye bead and said that there were more than a hundred, and it was Brother Yan who gave him marbles, Qingshu was not calm for a while.

Qing Shu snatched it excitedly, looked left and right, and finally took something and barely grabbed the beads and took it to the fire of the oil lamp to roast. After only a few seconds of baking, she took the beads away from the fire under Qingyang's puzzled gaze, and then wiped the smoky color formed on the outside of the beads with a cloth. After wiping, the beads are still white beads, and there is no damage.

Qing Shu grabbed Qingyang's little hand with a happy face, "Xiaoyang, do you know what these beads are?" ”

Qingyang replied hesitantly, "Brother Yan said that he played with marbles for Xiaoyang, but he didn't say what it was." ”

Qing Shu smiled with crooked apricot eyes, "Xiaoyang, this can't be used as marbles, this is a baby, a treasure that can be exchanged for a lot of silver." ”

Qingyang's eyes widened, "Can you exchange a lot of silver?" ”

"Well, well, Xiaoyang handed it to my sister, and my sister took something else to make marbles for you, will you give these treasures to your sister?"

Qingyang nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll give it to my sister to exchange for silver." With silver, we can eat good food, not go hungry, and wear beautiful clothes. ”

Qing Shu was very happy, and kissed Qingyang's fleshy little face.

Qingyang asked shyly: "Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang also wants to kiss." ”

"Well, well, Xiaoyang also wants to kiss." Qing Shumei said with a smile.

Qingyang pouted, followed Qing Shu's example, kissed Qing Shu's face, and immediately felt embarrassed, so he rushed forward and hugged Qing Shu's neck and refused to let go, for fear that his sister would laugh at him.

Qingshu is so happy, this can also be shy, her younger brother, it's so cute.

The two sisters and brothers stuck for a while, then separated, brought a furoshiki, and the two of them lay on the wooden box, and picked out the beads lying scattered in all corners of the box with their heads touched, and then put them into the furoshiki with a look of wealth, and all they thought about were white flowers.

At this time, they forgot that the beads were given to Qingyang by Zhou Boyan to play, not for them to sell for silver.

At night, Qing Shu locked one hundred and nine beads into the box, lay down on the hot kang, and fell asleep with a good mood holding the quilt
