Chapter 86 Xinhua Bookstore
Chen Siye didn't dare to talk anymore, and silently cleaned up the house for Xiaobai.
After cleaning, Xiaobai moved to a single room, and all the women were scattered. Mingyuesu pulled Qiu Ju to go to the horse market to buy food for Xiaobai, Xiaotao booked Chen Siye's right to use it tonight, followed the other girls upstairs, and waited for him to wash his name.
Xiao Tao was going to take him directly to see Qin Laosan, but when she saw his current appearance, she was very disgusted, and let him take a bath and change his clothes.
Chen Siye couldn't stand himself anymore, and in the past few days, on the road, Mingyuesu would ask the store to boil water to take a bath every day, and then change her clothes every two days. However, boiling water costs money, and in order to save some silver, he hasn't taken a bath in the past ten days, and it's really surprising that he hasn't been disliked by Mingyuesu.
Back in the kitchen after a long absence, Chen Siye sighed with emotion, and when he came back, it was time to cook again. I boiled a bucket of water, took a beautiful bath, and washed it with soap, but unfortunately no one rubbed my back and felt a little regretful.
After taking a shower and changing into clothes for the body, I went to find Xiao Tao and prepared to go. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and I went out to say hello to Uncle Wei, who was catching the car, and got into the car with Xiao Tao.
Uncle Wei has been waiting here for a long time, but he has not complained at all, he is really a good person.
"Uncle Wei, go to the bookstore." Xiao Tao commanded.
"When did my father-in-law arrive?" Chen Siye asked.
"I arrived the day before yesterday, and you weren't there, so I arranged for him to go directly to the bookstore." Xiao Tao now acquiesces to his title.
Chen Siye laughed and said, "Didn't you give me the key to the bookstore?" "This girl still has a handful.
Xiao Tao suddenly blushed, "It's not you... You say it's... Our house? What if I leave a key?! The more Xiao Tao said, the more justified she became.
Chen Siye smiled and said, "Okay, I didn't say anything." As he spoke, he took Xiao Tao's hand and leaned into his ear and whispered, "Xiao Tao, do you miss me these days?" ”
Xiao Tao's eyes were red: "You don't know how worried I am about you." ”
Chen Siye hugged Xiao Tao into his arms and said, "I know I know, isn't it good for me?" Saying that he was about to kiss him, Xiao Tao blushed and pushed him away and whispered, "Don't be like this, Uncle Wei is still outside." ”
"Don't worry, let's be quiet, Uncle Wei can't hear it." Chen Siye can't wait to get a taste of Fangze.
Xiao Tao still refused, slapped him lightly and said, "I'm going to see my father later, you be honest." ”
Chen Siye had no choice but to give up, and asked again: "Does Sister Le Xuan know about this time?" ”
"Miss knows."
"And how did she react?"
Xiao Tao thought for a while, "Miss just said that life and death are fateful." ”
Chen Siye was suddenly disappointed, "Huh? That's it? "It's too bland, so let's think about it.
"You still want Miss to react, it's good that Miss can remember you. And when I heard about this, Sister Ming had already gone to look for you, so I didn't need Miss to do anything more,"
"However, after Miss revealed the poem on the day of the poetry meeting, I heard Sister Lin say that you are Chen Liubu, not to mention how funny the surprised expression was." Speaking of this, Xiao Tao covered her mouth and giggled.
Chen Siye felt some comfort in his heart at this time.
"Did Liu Xuan come out to make trouble again after the poetry meeting that day?" Chen Siye thought of what those gentlemen said again.
"Liu Xuan? Who is he? ”
"It's the son of the head of the household, and he wants to tune it
Sister Xilin's that. ”
Xiao Tao sighed, frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of it." ”
It seems that Xiao Tao doesn't know about this.
I heard Xiao Tao ask again: "When will your bookstore open, it's almost February." ”
Chen Siye thought about it, it had been so long, and now that Qin Laosan was also here, he said: "After I take the name and make the plaque, I will open the business." ”
"Then you think about it, I'll help you find a place to make the plaque. And you have nothing to do and write a few more books, although those two books of Sword and Fairy are very good, but I'm almost tired of reading them. After speaking, Xiao Tao hurriedly said: "Think about it quickly, when you get to the bookstore, you write it out, and I will find someone to do it tomorrow." ”
Chen Siye smiled and agreed. I told Xiao Tao about some interesting things I encountered before, and I arrived at the bookstore after a while. When he arrived at the door, Chen Siye remembered that he was empty-handed, was this a little inappropriate? So he asked Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, why don't I go buy something, I should bring some things." ”
Xiao Tao tugged at his sleeve and said, "No, no, what else do you buy when you go back to your house." ”
Although Chen Siye felt that something was wrong, he couldn't resist Xiao Tao, and followed Xiao Tao into the bookstore and came to the backyard, "Dad, Chen Siye is here!" ”
"Hey!" I saw Qin Laosan walking out of the main house in a Confucian shirt, at this time his spirit was much better than the first time he saw him, and now he still looks like a scholar. Chen Siye saluted and said, "My father-in-law is fine. ”
"When did the virtuous son-in-law return? Did the trip go well? Qin Laosan was very surprised when he saw Chen Siye.
Xiao Tao covered her mouth and whispered: "I told my father that you went out to run errands, so as not to worry him." ”
Chen Siye nodded slightly and said: "This trip is very smooth, I just came back today, I missed my father-in-law's coming, and I couldn't give my father-in-law a clean sweep." ”
Qin Laosan was full of smiles, "It's okay, it's okay, the virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be polite." ”
Xiao Tao couldn't help but say when she saw that the two were talking endlessly in this courtyard: "Dad, Chen Siye, let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”
Qin Laosan patted his head and said, "Yes, virtuous son-in-law, go into the house quickly, sit down and drink a cup of tea." ”
After speaking, he said to Xiao Tao with a straight face: "Xiao Tao, how can you call the name of the virtuous son-in-law, you should be called... Salutation..."
Qin Laosan didn't know what to call Xiao Tao, after all, the two hadn't married yet, Chen Siye looked at Qin Laosan with a sad face, and then looked at Xiao Tao, and suddenly came up with a bad idea, and said: "Father-in-law, don't be embarrassed, in fact, the county lord has promised Xiao Tao to me a few days ago, just wait for the marriage to be completed in the future." However, Xiao Tao didn't want to call me Xianggong, so I asked her to call me by my name. ”
Xiao Tao looked at him with wide eyes after hearing this, and he couldn't react a little, so he heard Qin Laosan also say happily: "I'm still worried about how to ask His Royal Highness the County Lord so that the County Lord can promise to marry Xiao Tao to you, so good, wonderful!" You will definitely let me know when you get married. ”
Xiao Tao has already sold herself in the palace, and now she has become Le Xuan's personal maid, to put it mildly, it is Le Xuan's private property, so Qin Laosan, the father, doesn't care who she marries. And her identity is just a girl, even if she gets married, she can only get married after her wife.
"Chen Siye! You! Xiao Tao glared at him angrily, and was about to scold him, when she heard Qin Laosan glaring at her and said, "Why are you not big or small, your name is Xianggong!" ”
Chen Siye also leaned into her ear and whispered, "Don't forget, fake couple." Anyway, she agreed before, and she was not afraid that she would not comply.
Xiao Tao glanced at him hatefully and said, "Xianggong..."
didn't know that her idea just fell into Chen Siye's trap.
Chen Siye succeeded, and he was complacent. Entering the house, I saw that this room was much larger than his room in Mingyue Tower, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, I don't know what it looks like inside, but the outside room is newly decorated, there is everything, it seems that Xiao Tao, this girl is also attentive.
Chen Siye and Qin Laosan were both sitting at the table, and Xiao Tao reluctantly stood and poured tea for the two of them under the signal of his father's eyes.
Chen Siye laughed secretly, looked at Qin Laosan's arm and asked, "Father-in-law, how is your arm?" ”
Qin Laosan smiled and raised his arm and moved: "It's no big deal, as long as you don't use force, it's fine." ”
"Father-in-law must not be careless, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, and you still have to pay attention to cultivation on weekdays, and you must not work too hard. Why don't I buy another girl to serve you? ”
"No, no, I'm used to it, and I don't need to be taken care of." Qin Lao San waved his hand repeatedly.
Chen Siye asked again: "Did Wu Deli of the Seven Star Gambling House trouble his father-in-law again?" ”
"No, no, he helped me a lot later, and when I came to Jiangxia Mansion this time, he also found someone to take me on a ride."
"That'll be fine."
Chen Siye took a sip of tea, and then listened to Qin Laosan: "Virtuous son-in-law wait for a while." So saying, he got up and went into the back room.
After a while, he took out two books, put them on the table and said, "These two books are written by a virtuous son-in-law?" ”
Chen Siye picked it up and took a look, it turned out to be two books of Sword and Fairy Legend, beautifully bound, and exuding the fragrance of ink, open it and take a look, the title page is still printed with the words "Chen Liubu Book", the paper feels very good, and I thought that if the cover is painted again, it will be even better. But this is already rare, and I can't help but be surprised: "This book has already been printed?" ”
I don't know who came up with the idea to print Chen Liubu, which is in line with his mind, it can not only have some celebrity effect, but also be less high-profile, after all, it is not the majority who know that Chen Liubu is his Chen Siye.
Xiao Tao interjected: "It's been printed for several days, and it's all in the main hall." ”
Qin Laosan said again: "What the virtuous son-in-law thinks is really wild, this book is really good, although I and other scholars don't believe in such strange things, but I am also intoxicated by it." ”
Chen Siye didn't even dare to say it.
I heard him say again: "I heard Xiao Tao say that Chen Liubu, the leader of the poetry club that has been rumored in the city recently, is it true that you are a virtuous son-in-law?" I've read that poem, and the virtuous son-in-law is really talented! ”
"The father-in-law has won the award, and the son-in-law is ashamed."
Qin Laosan smiled and said: "Don't be humble about the virtuous son-in-law, I think the virtuous son-in-law is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely soar in the future." ”
Chen Siye was secretly embarrassed, and when he heard this, he immediately thought of a magical book he had read.
"Dad, don't praise him, or his tail will reach the sky." Xiao Tao said dissatisfied.
"A virtuous son-in-law is a dragon among people, so what about complimenting two sentences." Qin Laosan smiled, with such a good son-in-law, it is difficult to be unhappy.
"By the way, Son-in-law, when will this bookstore open? I can also help you, otherwise it's boring to do nothing in the backyard every day. ”
"Make a plaque and you're going to open it." Seeing that Xiao Tao was about to ask, Chen Siye said again, "I have already thought of the name of this bookstore." Please also ask your father-in-law to move to the front hall, so I can write it. ”
Qin Laosan did not allow it, the three of them came to the main hall of the bookstore together, a pear blossom wood table in the middle of the main hall, and a Taishi chair, there is a ready-made pen and ink on the table, Chen Siye picked up the pen and laid the paper, and wrote down four big characters, Xinhua Bookstore!
