She is only twelve years old in this life, and her life is still long, so let's live slowly.

It's just that maybe she will have some regrets in her heart.

After all, it's the first time you're in love.

Zhao Lihua exhaled a long breath, emptied her head, and began to prepare for sleep.

Tomorrow the "first department store" opens, and she has to get up early.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lihua returned to normal.

She got up early, as usual, cleaned up and had breakfast.

auspicious Ruyi saw that his young lady finally returned to the original state.

I feel a lot more relieved.

In the past few days, there has been an inexplicable cold air around the young lady, which makes people dare not approach, which makes them extremely worried.

Now that the young lady is finally better, their mood is also improving.

Zhao Lihua decided not to be high-profile in the future because the old lady wanted to compete for the dividends of Wanfulou last time.

This time, she didn't plan to publicize the fact that she and Gu Qingran opened the "first department store".

So she deliberately changed into men's clothes today, and gave herself a male name "Gongzi Li".

Ji Xiang Ruyi has been with her for a long time, and everyone knows her, so I won't take them with me this time.

I took Autumn Frost with me, and Autumn Knife was hidden in the dark as usual.

Soon they were at the shop at the intersection of East and West Streets.

There was already a long queue at the entrance of the shop.

Each person in line had a handwritten leaflet in their hand.

Before, Zhao Lihua told Gu Qingran and Zhang Yuankai about propaganda.

Now it seems that the propaganda is in place.

"County Lord, you run slowly."

"Qingzhu, don't worry about the county lord, the county lord arrived before the pear blossom and gave her a surprise."

As soon as she heard this cheerful voice, Zhao Lihua didn't have to look back to know that it was the Purple Kite County Lord who came with Qingzhu.

When she turned her head, the Purple Kite County Lord had already jumped up to her side.

It's just that she is now dressed as a man, and the purple kite doesn't recognize her.

Her bright eyes rolled and she decided to tease the purple kite.

She clenched her hand into a fist, put it to her mouth and coughed twice, attracting the attention of the purple kite, before she arched her hand and said, "Miss, we seem to have met somewhere." ”

The Purple Kite County Lord raised his eyes and glanced at her, pouting and said, "Dwarf scholar, go away, this county lord has never seen you." ”

Short...... Scholar!

That's pretty damaging!

But look at the men around her are all tall and big, and she is indeed the shortest as a man dressed as a man.

Qiushuang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhao Lihua suddenly blushed and glared at Qiushuang, who stopped laughing and couldn't help laughing.

The first pick-up ended in failure.

I wanted to tease the purple kite, but I lost face instead, hey.

Zhao Lihua stood there, too lazy to speak.

Looking at Zhao Lihua's head hanging down, Purple Kite may have realized that her words just now were a bit hurtful.

So he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "Oh, it's not your fault that you're short, it's natural." ”

Zhao Lihua: Will "......" comfort people? You might as well be insolent!

Zhao Lihua turned around, too lazy to look at the purple kite.

"Hey, you kid......" When the purple kite county lord saw her arrogant appearance, he became angry, and rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hold her theory.

Qingzhu behind the purple kite noticed her when Zhao Lihua was talking to the purple kite.

She is a secret guard and has undergone various trainings since she was a child.

At this time, she had already seen that this short scholar was pretending to be Zhao Lihua.

She grabbed the Purple Kite County Lord.

Before the purple kite was about to get angry, he whispered in her ear: "County Lord, the dwarf scholar is Miss Pear Blossom." The Purple Kite County Lord suddenly looked at Qingzhu with wide eyes, and Qingzhu nodded with great certainty.

Purple Kite walked up to Zhao Lihua with his hands on his waist and looked at it carefully, before he said in a low voice: "Okay, you, you actually disguised yourself as a man to tease me." ”

Zhao Lihua pursed her mouth unhappily: "Hmph, what is the result?" Who said I was shorty? However, you know it's me, and you didn't shout it out loud, count yourself smart. ”

Purple Kite rolled her eyes.

She's headstrong, but she's not stupid.

Zhao Lihua's appearance of men's clothing this time must be inconvenient, so she didn't make a loud noise.

Zhao Lihua smiled: "Okay, why are you here today?" ”

"It's a good day, of course I'm coming, guess what else I'm bringing?" The Purple Kite County Lord said mysteriously.

Where does Zhao Lihua need to guess.

At a glance, she saw that in addition to Qingzhu behind the purple kite, there were also two subordinates.

The two men each carried a few large fish that were still restlessly writhing.

This is the custom of this era, and fish is given away when the shop opens.

Fish represent wealth, success, and financial luck.

At this time, Zhang Yuankai, who was standing at the door of the shop, had already begun to speak.

It's nothing more than thanking everyone for coming to cheer and something like that.

Among the people in line, someone held a leaflet and asked, "Is it true that you can get two eggs as long as you come with this list?" ”

Zhang Yuankai replied loudly: "Of course it's true, one person is limited to one copy." ”

Hearing him say this, the faces of the people in line were a little happier, and they got two eggs for white when they came, which was really good.

"Rika, are you in business or a loser?" It was the first time that the Purple Kite County Lord had seen such a business.

Before this thing was sold, I started giving it away.

Look at the people in line, they have to line up from the street to the end of the street, right?

Two eggs per person, how many hundred of them have to be sent?

Zhao Lihua smiled: "You can rest assured, there are many things in the shop, as long as they go in, they have to buy two things, two eggs are nothing!" ”

Hearing her say this, Purple Kite was curious about what was in the shop, and she pulled Zhao Lihua inside: "Let's go, take me in and have a look, I also want to buy something." ”

"County Lord, there is a difference between men and women, what kind of system does it become to pull and pull? It is a man under the present. ”

Purple Kite was stunned for a moment by Zhao Lihua's serious words, and then she laughed and said, "Come on, even if people see it, they think you are my little brother." ”

As she spoke, Purple Kite ignored Zhao Lihua's already dark expression, and pulled her straight in.

It is similar to the current department store supermarket, but the goods are not as diverse as in modern times, but in this era, it is already diverse and very complete.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are covered.

Some items may not sell so well, but they must be available.

For example, most people may go to a special clothing store to buy those clothes or something.

As soon as Purple Kite entered, she was attracted by the dazzling array of goods in the shop, she let go of Zhao Lihua and walked around by herself.

Zhao Lihua had to go to Zhang Yuankai and Gu Qingran's side.

Gu Qingran has more experience in the rivers and lakes, and he recognized Zhao Lihua's female disguise as a man at a glance.

Zhang Yuankai looked at a strange little boy walking towards them with a smile, and was stunned.

It wasn't until Zhao Lihua called him Brother Zhang that he realized that this was Lihua.

"Pear Blossom ......"

He just opened his mouth to call Zhao Lihua's name, but was interrupted by her: "Please call me Gongzi Li, hahaha." ”

Her pretentious style made Gu Qingran and Zhang Yuankai laugh.

Gu Qingran also cooperated with her and said: "It turns out that this is the famous son Li, who is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Zhao Lihua, who dressed as a man, returned the salute: "Be polite." ”

Ni Wenyu, who had just walked in at the door, looked at them with laughter, especially the happiness on Zhao Lihua's face at the moment, which made him feel a little complicated.

He stood in the doorway for a moment, about to turn and leave.

Zhang Yuankai saw him, beckoned to him, and shouted, "Wen Yu, come here." ”

When Zhao Lihua heard this name, her face changed and she quickly returned to normal.

Zhang Yuankai didn't know what happened between them, but Gu Qingran knew.

He noticed Pear Blossom's flickering face, as well as Ni Wenyu's unnaturalness.

He raised his hand and greeted Zhao Lihua: "Lihua, let's go, I'll take you around the shop, you haven't been here for a few days before the opening, let's go see if there are any changes in the shop." ”

Zhao Lihua glanced at him gratefully and nodded: "Okay." ”

Why did Ni Wenyu come, and Pear Blossom and Gu Gongzi were leaving? Zhang Yuankai was a little confused about this situation.

But he was still indulging in joy and didn't think much of the strange state of affairs.

After Zhao Lihua and Gu Qingran left, Ni Wenyu also happened to be in front of him.

The smile on his face couldn't be stopped, he pointed to the overcrowded shop, and said, "Wen Yu, you see, I will be the big shopkeeper of this shop in the future, and I will go to other shops every three months to inspect it." ”

Ni Wenyu showed a smile: "Congratulations, Brother Zhang, it won't be long before you can bring the teacher and your mother to the capital." ”

Zhang Yuankai nodded excitedly: "Yes, I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them a little, and when I get my salary in a month, I can go to West Street to buy a small yard, and then I will take them to the capital." ”

Speaking of the future, Zhang Yuankai has more words.

He also said that he received a letter from Li Xiucai and his mother a few days ago.

Li Xiucai wrote to ask about the situation of several of them before, and he told all the things that happened after he arrived in the capital.

When Li Xiucai learned that Pear Blossom was actually the concubine of the current prime minister, he immediately replied to the letter, and he couldn't believe that it was true.

He also planned to take Zhang Yuankai and his mother to Beijing to see them after a while.

Listening to Zhang Yuankai's words, Ni Wenyu also began to miss Li Xiucai.

also remembered the days when he and Pear Blossom took care of each other in Pear Blossom Village.

He didn't know why, after arriving in the capital, his heart was not as calm as before.

He desperately wants to get ahead, wants to gain a foothold in the capital and occupy a place.

So when the second teacher in his life, Master Kang Zhai, wanted to marry his only daughter to him, he was confused.

Master Kang Zhai is a famous person in the country of Yueli, and it is the dream pursued by all scholars.

Being able to become Master Kang Zhai's only son-in-law is undoubtedly good for his future.

But he also knew in his heart that Rika was different from other women, and she couldn't accept serving a husband with other women.

Why isn't there such a thing as the best of both worlds? Ni Wenyu shouted in her heart.
