Chapter 031: Two years
When Ru Niang returned to Wuyang City, Xia Jing and Duan Ziyi had not yet left.
If everything goes well, they should be able to see it, but at this time, Xia Wei is seriously ill, the city lord is close to her, and she stays by her side almost every night, in this case, she doesn't have to open her mouth to know that the city lord will never allow her to go out, she thinks that she is just suffering from the cold, and she should be able to get better soon, but she thought that this illness caused a serious illness.
She has been too depressed over the years, at first for her daughter, and then for a pair of children, she is always thinking about how to protect them, everything comes first to them.
So in front of the city lord, she tried her best to make the city lord keep his heart on her, and indirectly let her son get his father's care.
She knew that only if she was favored, Zhang Zetian could be jealous, and her poor daughter could have a better life.
has endured it for so many years, but in exchange for her daughter's life and death is unknown, all forbearance is meaningless, hatred once broke out, and the devastated body and mind finally can't hold on.
Over the years, she has rarely been sick, but a small wind and cold cost her half of her life, not to mention the decoction every day, and the person is even more thin and out of shape, and her soft and weak appearance makes the city lord want to go to her for her illness and pain for her.
This illness is two months, and the news inside and outside is all cut off, and Master Jing Yi is even more afraid to send a letter in at this time, causing trouble for Xia Wei.
And Xia Jing, in addition to visiting the patient, no longer mentioned the topic of Qiu'er.
By mistake, Xia Jing not only failed to see Ru Niang, but also went to Huiting City without getting that address.
Duan Ziyi's people found out about the village outside the city and found out that the carriage was going in that direction.
If Duan Ziyi was traveling with him, it would not be difficult to find out with his manpower. But after receiving a letter, he had to part ways with Xia Jing.
Xia Jing wanted to find his niece who was bent on hiding in Nuo Da Pavilion City, which was not easy. Zuihou was disappointed, and even he wasn't surprised.
After two years of operation, Shuxiangzhai is still that shop. Except that the shelves are more abundant, and the empty space is filled with books, and it looks the same as it did two years ago.
This shallow alley has changed a little.
-- The four shops that came in from the alley were all converted from garment shops to paper and pencil shops.
The carriages that came into the alley were getting more and more every day, but very few of them stopped in front of their shop, and even if they did, it was because they entered the wrong store.
If you want to talk about business, it's not nothing, but it's still worse than the previous ready-to-wear store.
As the saying goes, it's better to be raw than cooked, and they have paid for it. If it weren't for the fact that all the capital was folded in, they really wanted to go back to their old business.
It's not that I haven't been disgusted, but the master of the scholar can afford to use slaves, and there are a lot of servants who come in and out on weekdays, and it's not easy to mess with when you look at it, if they really want to do something, zuihou I'm afraid it's still them.
Except for a few curses, they couldn't do anything, they could only watch the customers over there. The four of them were left in the cold.
To say that the four families were still cold because of competition before, but now they are much closer because of a common enemy, this can be regarded as an unexpected gain?
But if you give them a choice. They would rather have a change with the scholarly incense.
What about being treated as an enemy? The money earned is your own.
Although Xia Hanqiu never showed up, the mentality of the four families was all under control, and she did not overestimate anyone. But he won't underestimate anyone, and Talian's other duty is to beware of the four families doing evil.
Two years down. I didn't see them do anything.
"Moxiang, are there any new books in the store?" Two years ago, the little girl who first came to Shuxiangzhai to buy books was two years older. The voice is still delicate, and it can be seen from the corner of the hat she lifted that she looks the same, and she can't wait to ask as soon as she enters the store.
Mo Xiang neatly took three new books from the bookshelf and sent them to the three of them, smiling just right, because of his literacy, he opened his eyes, and he was far less flattering and courteous than the little two in the general shop.
"I just sent it from the workshop early this morning, and the three young ladies are the first guests to buy it, and our master has an explanation, and the first guest only needs to spend half the silver?"
The woman in the center flipped through the book, and her face under the hood didn't know what the expression was, but her voice was pleasant, "Oh? Can it only be the first one? There are three of us, who are you going to cheapen? ”
Mo Xiang pretended to casually glance at Ta Liang behind the counter, and said with a smile: "Naturally, the three young ladies have a share, and our scholar has been taken care of by the three young ladies in the past two years, even if it is given, but the villain does not dare to do this, lest someone say that the young lady is unobedient." ”
One of the major features of the book is that the four children can speak, and the words are particularly comfortable, the counter is obviously a leader but very few words, the four children should come down will never be discounted, for a long time, the people who are trying to make things difficult have become frequent visitors to the book.
"I've never been afraid of people saying unpleasant things, Moxiang, I'll wait for you to deliver it today."
The other two little girls also leaned over and lifted the corner of their hats, revealing their graceful chins, which would have looked like they were clearly smiling, "And us." ”
Mo Xiang looked at Ta Liang, Ta Liang nodded at him, Mo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled more sincerely, "Yes, all three young ladies will send it." ”
All three laughed.
Putting the books on the counter, he paced to the inner bookshelf, and took several copies from each of them, "Check out." ”
Mo Xiang sent people out of the door, and only turned around when she saw the three of them getting into the carriage, there were no guests in the shop at this time, so she had fewer scruples when she spoke, "This is called a noble girl, how good her upbringing." ”
Taryan put the silver away and looked up at him, "Talk less and do more." ”
At this time, Mo Xiang still had the calm appearance just now, the two horns swayed, and he looked very complacent, "I do things to speak, and guests are not allowed to beat me if they don't speak." ”
Taryan didn't argue with him, and pushed a book in front of him, "Read it once you were taught yesterday, and write it a hundred times for a wrong word." ”
"Brother Liang, just listen, I won't make a single mistake." How can they not cherish the opportunity that fell from the sky.
Reading aloud, Xia Hanqiu listened behind the door for a while and did not go in again. Raise the corners of your mouth and return the way you came.
This can be regarded as an unintentional willow in the shade, but it is because of the influence of the previous life. I couldn't bear to let such a small child be wasted before Taliang taught them to read, but she didn't think that it would add another feature to her study.
Even if the thin-skinned girl's family thinks that a few of them are interesting, they will only make a few jokes. This is still their young age, and if they are two years older, they just have the heart and the guts.
Although the few lingering books produced by Shuxiangzhai still can't get into the eyes of the aristocracy, they often let the literati who think they are romantic often linger here, and even the storytellers with lively brains will come to buy them, and the aiqing in the book is called an earth-shattering crying ghost god, I don't know how many tears have been earned.
When the literati came, their favorite thing to do was to tease a few children, and Taliang had an extra heart, and since a year and a half ago, he has let them take shifts with two of them. Even if one stumbles, the other can handle the other guests.
He can see far, although these four people have signed a death contract, it is impossible to have a big profit, but if they can get a few words of guidance from the literati, it will be enough for them to be useful, he doesn't know what Miss plans to do in the future, but this shop is only two years and it seems small, in the long run, Miss should have other ideas.
Whether it's buying a shop next to it or opening a new one elsewhere. If the four of them can be a steward, they will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, and with the good temperament of the young lady, maybe they can still give them a kiss. Isn't there a jump in this life?
Xia Hanqiu knew his thoughts, although he didn't give a clear word, he didn't say anything negative.
Her idea was simple. What if they do a good job, and give them a kiss? There are so many maids at home. She can't keep them for the rest of her life, which big family's maid is not allowed to take care of the family's small family?
Xia Hanqiu swayed around slowly. In the big house of the three entrances, she lives in the middle of the house, and the three Tasong brothers and four children live in the one connected to the shop, but the first entry at the main entrance is for Ah Jiu to move in with a group of maids and women.
Although there was a gate on that side, she rarely went out, and she went less on the other side, and when she heard the laughter from there, her footsteps moved over.
It turned out that Ru Niang led a group of people to wash the big bed in the winter, shouting a few mothers-in-law to dry the cotton heart, the voice was loud, and the face smiled unconsciously, fortunately, she is living a stable life now, Ru Niang followed her out and didn't suffer anything, now she looks better in spirit, well, she is also a little fatter, and the folds on her face are less.
As soon as Ru Niang wanted to come over, Xia Hanqiu waved at her and turned to leave.
When I returned to my yard, I looked up and saw Ah Jiu crawling on the roof, trembling and not knowing what he was doing, and there was a row of girls standing below, all with their heads up.
"What is this doing?"
"Ah, miss, stay far away, be careful that the tiles fall and hit you." Xingyue hurriedly pulled the young lady to stand behind her, and then explained to her, "Some time ago, there was a lot of rain, and there were several leaks in several places, and Sister Nine didn't want to let Brother Tasong and them climb the roof of your house, so she went up by herself after asking for advice. ”
If Ru Niang's obsession is to give her a good kiss, then Ah Jiu's obsession is how to protect her, both lives.
Xia Hanqiu thanked them for their kindness, and ran away with her when she needed them most, so she was very different from them, and later people saw it in their eyes and consciously put themselves under them.
Now in this family, Ta Song is in charge of everything that needs to be contacted outside, Ru Niang is the big housekeeper, and Ah Jiu is in charge of all the things in her yard.
Each performs its own duties and manages a family very safely.
"Ah Jiu, be careful, don't be reckless."
Ah Jiu hurriedly straightened up and bowed his head, "Miss, why did you come back so quickly, Ruyue, you quickly take Miss to sit elsewhere." ”
"Yes."
Ruyue glanced at Xingyue, almost forcibly pulled the person out of the courtyard, and said: "Miss, will you be distracted by Sister Nine here, or leave first, the sun is good today, can you go to the pavilion to bask in the sun?" ”
Xia Hanqiu is indispensable, and he moves forward along the way.
I just felt that everyone in the whole family was busy, so she was idle.
As soon as it hits the shelves, it's a transition chapter, which is really not intentional...... There's going to be a little orgasm later! There will be new characters appearing, well, and very important characters will probably run through the whole book, more than one.
The weak ask for a guaranteed pink. (To be continued......)
