"Young owner?" Wu Yi stood at the door and poked his head out and shouted.

"Wu Yi? Come in. ”

Wu Yi hesitated, but walked in, the soft carpet almost made people unable to stand, Wu Yi saw that the study was much larger than the study of the prefect's yamen, as if the two houses had been opened and put together, and there were all books on the shelves in several rows, and some porcelain was placed in them, and Qian Ning was walking out of the middle of the back shelf with the book.

"Wu Yi, this is the "Three Character Classic", you sit here."

Wu Yi sat behind the desk, took the "Three Character Classic" and flipped through it casually, "Childe, it's all words here!" ”

Qian Ning saw Wu Yi's eyes widen, as if he had seen something terrible, and laughed, "Don't worry, these are very simple, come, you turn to the first page, I will teach you to read a few sentences first, and then you will follow what is written in this book." You see this: At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, nature is similar, habits are far away, and sex is migration. Today, you learn this, you follow me to read, the beginning of man. ”

"The beginning of man." Wu Yi picked up the book, "Shaodongjia, this character I know, the simplest two strokes, like this." Wu Yi looked at Qian Ning with a smile, still gesturing in the air.

"Yes, one by one, the easiest and the hardest."

"Difficult? How hard is that? People are the easiest! ”：

Qian Ning saw Wu Yi smile and continued to read the book carefully, knowing that what Wu Yi said could not understand for a while, but it was only good for her to be able to read some books and understand some truth, so the two of them learned sentence by sentence.

"Okay, now you close the book and memorize it."

"Huh?" Wu Yi looked at Qian Ning with wide eyes, "This and this, I just learned this." ”

"It doesn't matter, you can say as much as you can remember."

Wu Yiyi was nervous and couldn't remember anything, "Well, well, people, yes, they started to be people." What are people, good, well, that ......" Wu Yi's eyes and eyebrows were distorted, and he scratched his head and rubbed his face, "Hmm." Oops, I, I forgot again. ”

"It's okay, you open the book, and we'll read it again, at the beginning of man."

"Yes, okay." Wu Yi felt that if he was amnesty, he quickly opened the book and sat upright, "At the beginning of the person, hehe, this, this I just now, I think it's on my lips, but I just can't say it, I, oops, I'm dying." ”

Qian Ning saw Wu Yi's anxious appearance and laughed, "It's okay, you can read it twice." ”

"Well, the beginning of man!" Wu Yi smiled and read it again.

In this way, the two studied for more than an hour, and Wu Yi finally stumbled and memorized.

"Okay, let's learn this here today, you take this book back and read it well. You've memorized them all just now, and you must get to know them well when you go back, and I'll teach you how to write them tomorrow. ”

"Well, okay, I'll go back and remember it well."

"Yes."

"Thank you, young owner! I'll go back first. ”

"Hey, by the way, Wu Yi, didn't you say you wanted to do business last time, did you think about it? What kind of business do you do? ”

Wu Yi had already stood up to leave, stopped holding the book, and suddenly became proud, "Hehe, Shaodong, I thought about it, I still sold it!" ”

"All sold? What? ”

"Plums, salted plums, but don't get me wrong, it's not for the old lady, I bought it myself the next day, and I sold it when it was done."

"And how much did you earn?"

"Fifty copper plates! Hahaha. Wu Yi stretched out five fingers and said excitedly.

"Haha, fifty copper plates."

"Young owner, I haven't earned fifty copper plates by myself before, although you may think that these fifty copper plates are nothing, but I am still quite happy."

"Wu Yi, if you want to do plum business in the future, it's not impossible, I know a veteran who makes plums, I can introduce it to you. However, Wu Yi, you have to think about where your plums should be stored, now is the time for plums to go on the market, you should take advantage of the time to purchase them now, and then ......"

"Young owner, young owner, I, I haven't thought about it so much, I am, that." Wu Yi was just a whim, and he didn't want to do plum business for the rest of his life, Qian Ning was shocked when he said this.

"Oh, it's okay, you go back and think about it, and it's not too late to tell me what you think tomorrow."

"Yes, okay." Wu Yi came out of the study, as if a stone had been pressed in his heart Yes, thinking about it, maybe everything was difficult at the beginning, and looked at the book in his hand again, and his mood improved again.

At this time, Wan Ting was lying on the table in the hall and sullen.

"What's wrong with you, huh?"

"Brother." Wan Ting didn't raise her head, "I want to go back to the palace." ”

Zhou Qi sat next to Wan Ting and touched Wan Ting's head, "What's wrong?" ”

"Brother, am I the most annoying?" Saying that, Wan Ting cried.

"How so?" Zhou Qi sat close and hugged Huanting in his arms.

"Brother, then why does everyone ignore me and don't like me!" Wan Ting said with a crying voice.

"How come, my sister is the only princess of our Great Zhou Dynasty, beautiful and cute, how can anyone not like you? What's wrong? Isn't there a lot of party lately, so you're free? Didn't you say that Qian Duo was gentle and kind, and didn't the Chen family organize a trip? Didn't I invite you? And that ......."

"Brother, Chen Mingyang won't come back, I don't know what I'm doing."

"Chen Mingyang? My people said that they seem to have gone to Datong, and they are so close, they should be back soon, and when he comes back, my brother will help you teach him a lesson! ”

Wan Ting sneered in Zhou Qi's arms, "Brother, you are so good." ”

"Hahaha, it's done, don't cry. Come, brother, take a look. ”

Wan Ting sat up straight and laughed too, "Hey, hey, hey." ”

"Silly girl." Zhou Qi saw that his sister was well, and saw a wooden box on the table, "What is this?" ”

"Huh? Oh, Duoduo sent it. ”

Zhou Qiyi opened it and saw four purses, picked them up and took a closer look, they were the patterns of the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju, and the stitches looked quite detailed. "Qian Duo gave you?"

"Well, brother, these two are for you, and I will bring these two."

"You asked someone to give it to you?"

"No, she said she was going to give me that day, these two, chrysanthemums and orchids for you."

"If someone gave it to you, you can keep it."

"I told her that I couldn't bring four, and she said she could give them away."

"Yes."

"Really, you take it, our brother and sister bring a set, hahaha."

Zhou Qi took a closer look at the four purses, although the styles were different, the orchid and chrysanthemum were a little bigger than those two, as if they were originally meant to be given to men.

"Brother?"

"Oh, you can keep it, I can't wear an official uniform every day."

"You don't want it?"

"You can keep it!" Zhou Qi got up and walked to the front hall, "This official has to go to work." ”

Wan Ting took the purse and tried it, it was just right, and she was happy, "Chain, He Ping?" ”

"Miss? The butler followed the adult. ”

"Oh, you send someone to Datong to arrest Chen Mingyang back!"

"Miss, this, is this a warning to adults."

"If I tell you to go, you can go, how can there be so much nonsense!"

"Miss."

"Either you send someone, or you find a way to get him back on his own, you think!"

"Miss, it's simple, their Chen family is in Huizhou, and he will come back after finishing his business." He Ping saw that Wan Ting glanced at him, and hurriedly said, "Or, well, by the way, don't they have an old lady in their family?" Let's write a letter to him and tell him that the old lady is not in good health and ask him to come back quickly, and he will come back. ”

"You write a letter? Can he believe it? ”

"Eldest Lady is easy to do, there are so many guys in their family, let's pretend to be his guy, saying that their owner was afraid that he would be worried so he didn't tell him, but as a guy in the store, he felt that he must want to know, so he ......" He Ping saw Wan Ting squinting at himself, and suddenly his heart became empty, "Well, Miss, I'll think about it again." ”

"I think it's a good idea, you can do it! Hey, be careful, wait for him to come back and see how I clean him up! ”

He Ping went back and wrote a letter to Chen Mingyang in the tone of a simulated man, and Chen Mingyang was anxious when he received the letter in Datong, so he hurried back.

Li Bo checked in Huizhou City for a long time, whether it was the officials of the prefect's yamen or the common people, although not all of them praised the prefect's mansion, and the people he came into contact with did not say anything bad. The records of the Chen family record that Wan Ting deposited one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and later settled it according to the annual interest, but this was also according to the instructions of the young owner, and Chen Mingyang, the young owner of the Chen family, went to Datong to do business, and Chen Qianlang, the owner of the Chen family, testified that this matter had nothing to do with the Zhou Governor's Mansion. Li Bo did not meet Zhou Qi during the handling of the case, and it was also to avoid suspicion, Zhou Qi's character Li Bo knew, how could he collude with any merchant for the interest of half a tael? Now there is only money left to remember the case, a few rat droppings, a big rat that has escaped, I really don't know how to investigate.

Li Bo sneaked into the backyard study of the prefect's yamen again, "What are you doing?" Zhou Qi saw Li Bo wearing a big turban and dressed up as a merchant in the Western Regions.

"Look at me like this, if I go to talk to Qian Ji about business, can they believe it?"

"And then?"

"Then, then I'll take a good look at the money."

"What are you doing with them?"

"Isn't this a money check? Don't you inquire? ”

"Ugh." Zhou Qi let out a long breath and closed the book, "Can the problem be solved by a money book?" Didn't they find out nothing after checking it themselves for a long time? ”

"A businessman, what can he find out?"

"Then what can you find out if you pretend to be a businessman! Can you use your brain? ”

"Lord Zhou, my Governor Zhou, do you know anything?" Li Bo grew up with Zhou Qi since he was a child, and with a look from Zhou Qi, he knew that he already had a clue.

Zhou Qi glanced at Li Bo, "The government investigates the case directly, but it still needs the cooperation of the people." However, the business investigation is more direct, they have first-hand information themselves, and it is very easy to check anything they want. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"To investigate Qian Ji, we must investigate, and we must know what they are investigating."

"That person can't tell us, besides, our official family can't find out, but the other business has found out, so we have to ask them? Like words? ”

"Let's not ask."

"Don't ask? That ......" Li Bo followed Zhou Qi's eyes and looked out the door, and Wan Ting sat in front of the flowers swinging again, not worrying about anything.
