Fan Ming had a kind smile on his face, but in the eyes of the shopkeeper of the pen and ink shop, this smile was like a mockery, mocking his eyes and not beads, and mocking him for forgetting his roots.

As if thinking of something more fearful, the shopkeeper of the pen and ink shop trembled suddenly, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, bowed to Sun Xuezheng, and said, "Sun ...... My lord, this ...... I'm just buying and selling a small book, and this wolf will be given to Mr. Yu, even if this pair of poems is given to the shop by Mr., how is it?"

Fan Ming saw that the shop was soft, and he didn't speak anymore at the moment, but just turned his head to look at Sun Xuezheng to see what he meant.

In fact, this is also a trivial matter, Sun Xuezheng is just not angry that the store sold a defective product to him, now he has earned it back, his face is already very good, he waved his hand and said: "That's it, even if it is over at this time, this pen should be as much as it is!" ”

Fan Ming immediately answered: "How about parity?" ”

"Of course, of course!" The shopkeeper nodded in agreement.

At the moment, the shopkeeper improved and rewrapped the pen, and he was quite good at being a person and sent an extra pair of ink inkstones, which made Sun Xuezheng's face even brighter, and everything was delivered, and Sun Xuetong and Fan Ming walked out of the pen and ink shop.

Sun Xuezheng handed over the things to the little guy next to him, and then looked at Fan Ming with interest, "I look at your dress, it seems that you are a student of which family?" ”

Fan Ming hurriedly and respectfully bowed, "Student Fan Ming, a person from Qinghe Township, has seen the University of Xuezheng. ”

"Oh, you're a student from Qinghe Township?" Hearing Fan Ming's introduction, Sun Xuezheng suddenly became interested and asked, "Who is your teacher?" ”

"My teacher is Old Master Gong." Fan Ming replied respectfully.

"Master Gong." The expression on Sun Xuezheng's face suddenly changed, and he took a long breath, as if he was sighing something.

After a while, he remembered that Fan Ming was still standing beside him, so he asked, "Can you participate in this county school audition?" ”

Fan Ming was overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your care, the students also participated in this audition." ”

Sun Xuezheng nodded and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Well, then go back and study hard, so as not to have no article in your chest when you get it." ”

Fan Ming held back a burst of excitement in his heart, "Yes, the students must go back and study well." ”

Sun Xuezheng glanced back at Fan Ming carefully, and waved his hand, "Go back, don't fool around outside." ”

Fan Ming saluted, "Yes, my lord." ”

Sun Xuezheng flicked his sleeves, turned around and strode away with the little guy, looking at his departing back, Fan Ming took a long breath, his heart was full of joy, this trip to see Sun Xuezheng left an impression in his mind, then half of the matter has been completed, and the remaining half depends on his own performance.

Things are almost done, Fan Ming suddenly felt good, began to put down the burden on his body and began to wander around the street, approaching the end of the year, it was not easy to come here, and he had to buy something to go back.

……

Ying Tianfu, in a mansion near Cao's house.

Many people come and go, in and out, it seems that they are all dressed as businessmen, and some familiar people know that this is the shopkeeper and account office of various shops in various parts of Cao Mansion.

And sitting in the inner hall, behind a screen, a beautiful and charming figure in the center, this is the person in charge of the entire Cao Mansion business, surprisingly this is a woman, if Fan Ming is here, he will recognize that this person is no one else, it is Mo Xirong, the third lady of Cao Mansion who was still in Qinghe Township a few months ago.

Xiangxue stood outside the screen, and the bearer and the shopkeepers outside passed the word and handed things or something.

Approaching the end of the year, the transactions and shops in Caofu have to be inventoried, and they also have to ask about the business strategy for the coming year, and this is the busiest time of the year.

The shopkeeper outside stood honestly outside, coming and going one by one, and finally the shopkeeper outside was finished, and the third lady breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that Mrs. was so tired that she couldn't even eat these days, Xiangxue was a little distressed, and brought up the lotus seed soup that had been prepared a long time ago, "Madam, drink some lotus seed soup, you haven't eaten for a day." ”

Mo Xirong raised his hand and waved his hand weakly, "Let it go, I don't have an appetite." ”

Xiangxue pouted slightly, and couldn't help complaining: "Madam, you worked hard to get wealth for a certain person in the house, but the lord didn't even come to see you once, this is about to be the New Year, and the old lady didn't mean to pick you up and go back to the house, I really don't remember any favors." ”

"Shut up." Hearing Xiang Xue's words, Mo Xirong couldn't help but pat the table, glared at Xiang Xue, and scolded: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth and sell it to Goolan Fang." ”

Madame's unprecedentedly stern expression, Xiangxue was so frightened that tears instantly swirled in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but flow out, although she knew why Madame suddenly became so angry, but all she said was for Madame's grievances, and she was not angry for a while and said boldly: "Madam, I'm ...... That's right, why should the ladies be toiled and resented, but they can be at ease in the house. ”

"You still say." Mo Xirong stood up abruptly and was about to fan Xiangxue's face.

However, seeing the tears on Xiangxue's face, Mo Xirong suddenly softened again, brushed his hand on Xiangxue's face, and sighed softly, "You girl, why haven't you seen through it, I am the daughter of a businessman, and it is already a blessing to have this status in my previous life, how can I still want to force more." ”

"But...... You can't go on like this for the rest of your life! Xiang Xue'er puffed out her cheeks and still looked angry.

"If not, what else?" Mo Xirong sighed slightly, this sigh contained a lot of helplessness and sorrow, but he could only endure it willingly.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiangxue said tentatively, "Madam, why don't we go." ”

"Let's go? Where to go? Mo Xirong couldn't help but sneer, laughing at the simplicity and ignorance of Xiangxue's girl.

"Wherever you go, with the ability of your wife, you can become a human being wherever you go, so why stay in this invisible prison." Xiangxue said as she even got excited, her little face was ruddy.

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply." Mo Xirong shook his head, looked up at the sky outside the window, and said slowly: "Men are trees, women are vines, there is no big tree to shelter the wind and rain, we are rootless Ping, even if we grow thick, it will only quickly disappear between the wind and rain, Xiangxue, we are women!" ”

"Man, I have it!" Xiangxue blurted out.
