At the end of the feast, a swaying Gan Qi returned to his house in the city, still vomiting in the middle of the night.

Wu Qiao'er stayed aside, the second watch had not rested, there was a basin for receiving vomit next to him, there were embers of firewood in the kitchen, and there was hot water steaming above the embers.

Gan Qi on the bed turned around from time to time and vomited a few times, spitting out some sour water, and after vomiting, he would turn back by himself, and Wu Qiaoer would pick up a cloth towel to wipe Gan Qi's mouth.

stayed until early in the morning, Gan Qi woke up, and saw Wu Qiao'er lying on the edge of the bed, his heart slightly sour.

Wu Qiao'er felt a little movement, and also raised her head, sleepy-eyed, and subconsciously went to get a wooden basin to pick it up.

But he heard Gan Qi laugh and said: "Then the king of Runan is also really powerful, he can give birth to more than 20 sons, and more sons are good, no one can drink their family." ”

Wu Qiao'er also smiled when she heard this: "That's a good official is too stupid, there are so many sons in their family, you can't drink it, you should excuse yourself." ”

"I excused myself, where can I push it?" Ganchi replied.

Wu Qiao'er tried to get up, but she couldn't stand up, and her legs seemed to be numb.

Seeing Wu Qiao'er's appearance, Gan Qi hurriedly got off the bed, held his hand slightly, put Wu Qiao'er on the bed and sat down, and said, "I'll go and fetch water to wash, Sister Qiao'er will take a rest." ”

Gan Qi washed himself up, and went out to the street entrance to buy some food.

Two people sit opposite each other, two bowls of millet porridge, three dishes of pickled side dishes, and a few dough cakes.

I listened to Wu Qiao'er again: "Next time, you can't be so stupid again, don't drink if you can't drink it." ”

Gan Qi replied with a smile: "The master is waiting for me to get drunk." ”

"Then you pretend to be drunk, go to the case, and care about him so much." Wu Qiaoer said again.

"Yes, Sister Qiao'er's trick is good, next time I'll go to the desk, and whoever tells me won't wake up." Ganchi replied.

"Well, that's right." Wu Qiao'er nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Good officer, I have lived in this city for a few days, and I am really a little unaccustomed to it, I don't even have a familiar person, and I don't know my neighbors on the left and right, so it's boring." ”

In the past few days, Wu Qiaoer has been living in a small courtyard in the city, and she is not really idle, but she has cleaned up the house, bought some furniture to add, and invited craftsmen to repair many furniture, doors and windows. This courtyard is also in Wu Qiaoer's hands, and it can really live in people.

Gan Qi replied, "Why don't you go back to the village and live?" Just leave a little guy here to keep an eye on. ”

Wu Qiao'er shook her head and said, "I finally moved into the city, how can I go back to the village again?" In the future, if the good officials go to school in the city, how can I be alone outside the city? I wanted to find something to do in the city so that I wouldn't have to spend my days so boring. Nowadays, there are people doing the little chores in the house, and I can't eat rice every day, can I? ”

"Sister Qiao'er said that? How can Sister Qiao'er eat rice? If there is no Sister Qiao'er in this family, I am afraid that I will already be defeated. Ganchi replied.

"A good official is not a loser, a good official will shine on the lintel in the future, and you can't say this about yourself in the future." Wu Qiao'er said as she broke the dough on the table and put it in front of Gan Qi. More than ten years ago, Wu Qiaoer took care of this cousin in this way, and at that time this cousin was just a child with a runny nose in open crotch pants.

Gan Qi also said: "Sister Qiao'er, you eat by yourself, I'm so big, I don't have to break the bread anymore, look at my big mouth, one bite at a time." ”

Gan Qi also deliberately opened his mouth wide, which made Wu Qiao'er giggle, but the movement in Wu Qiao'er's hand did not stop, and he still slowly broke the dough cake, but said seriously: "Good official, I want to open a cloth shop, so I will open it on the opposite side, and there are just a few shops opposite that no one rents." ”

"Cloth shop?" Gan Qi also knew that Wu Qiao'er was serious, she couldn't live a free life, and she had to find something to do at hand, so Gan Qi also thought about it.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you don't have to open much, there are six or seven empty shops opposite, we just want one, and we don't sell the silk and satin worn by those dignitaries, just sell some different fabrics, sell them to the neighbors, do some small business, there is something to do." Wu Qiaoer said again.

Gan Qi pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

Wu Qiao'er saw Gan Qi waving her hand, her face sank, and she was quite disappointed.

But I heard Gan Qi laugh and said: "If you don't open a cloth shop, if you want to open a ready-to-wear store, how much money can the cloth store make?" We sell ready-to-wear garments, we sell silk and satin ready-to-wear garments, one shop is not enough, let's take down all the shops opposite. ”

Wu Qiao'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and after listening to Ganqi's words, she shook her head again and again: "No, no, it's not profitable to sell ready-to-wear clothes, but few families will go out to buy ready-to-wear clothes, and in the place where we live, not many people will buy silk and satin, let's just sell cloth, one shop is enough, at most two shops." ”

Wu Qiaoer's words are right, not to mention small households, even large families, few families will go out to buy ready-to-wear clothes, everyone is their own women buy cloth and make it at home, whether it is a wife or concubine, a maid to do it, even if it is an embroidery girl, it is the same. Selling ready-to-wear clothes in the Great Song Dynasty was not a good business, and selling cloth was the right way.

Gan Qi smiled and still said, "Sister Qiao'er, don't worry, I can't lose, I have my own plans." Sister Qiao'er, you can rent all the shops opposite, if the rent is expensive, you can ask if the opposite shop sells it, and we will buy it together. ”

"Good official, it's okay to buy a shop, you can buy an industry in the city, and future generations will not have to worry about their livelihood. But let's sell cloth, shall we? Wu Qiaoer said.

Gan Qi didn't say much, and he knew that he couldn't say it clearly, so he only said: "Sister Qiao'er, you buy the shop first, and then you can talk about it, if you buy the shop, you can't use it yourself, and you can rent it to others." In the past few days, I also inquired about the surrounding tailors and embroiderers, and also asked them how much money they could earn a month. ”

Wu Qiao'er nodded.

After breakfast, Gan Qi went to Su Shi's house, brought some gifts, and then invited the Su family's father and son out of the city.

Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe followed Gan Qi to Deganjia Village, and the three of them were all looking forward to it.

Ganqi's family was also busy, and there were many onlookers.

Gan Ba was looking forward to it the most, moved a chair early and sat in the courtyard, and said: "Don't grab anyone with me, this position is mine." ”

Zhou Tong stood honestly behind Gan Ba, there were still many seats in front of his head, and Su Xun took his two sons to sit down.

Ganqi ran inside and out, and when everything was ready, Ganqi also came to the courtyard and shouted, "Have fun." ”

The drum sounded first and set the tone. The clapper made a comeback, quite quickly.

Then the huqin was played, and the characters appeared.

The long-awaited "Liang Zhu" began.
