Shen Xi pondered it repeatedly, and finally made up his mind:

Yunliu is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and knows some medical skills, like a woman from a good family. Ke Xi'er is a female thief at all, you sent them to me, do you think I will believe that you have good intentions?

At that moment, Shen Xi put the red envelope containing the deed of sale back on the table, shook his head and said: "I can't accept such a generous gift, as for helping, I can think about it in the long run, but if I can't do it, Yu Niang can't make it difficult." ”

The purpose of Yu Niang and Zi Qian is to remove Song Xi'er's control over Fuzhou merchants, especially Fengyue places, and Shen Xi is to ensure the interests of the Chamber of Commerce in Fuzhou, and there is indeed the possibility and space for cooperation between the two sides.

But the problem is that Shen Xi doesn't trust Zi Qian, with Shen Xi's experience in observing people, this Zi Qian harbors evil intentions, and it is definitely not what she said that she only hopes to have a peaceful life.

Shen Xi did not make any promises to Yu Niang, but just showed his attitude: My Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has so many people, and I want to fight Song Xi'er's people head-on, there is no chance of winning, don't you have Xi'er, a female thief, but you can let her assassinate or kidnap Song Xi'er.

Yu Niang is also very cautious about this, she just came to Fuzhou, and she hasn't even adapted to the environment, so she doesn't dare to make too much noise.

Yu Niang only paid a courtesy visit this time, and Shen Xi refused to accept her generous gift, so she could only reluctantly accept Xi'er and Yunliu's deed of sale. Yu Niang knew that Shen Xi's main purpose in entering the provincial capital was to prepare for the township exam, and she did not expect Shen Xi to help her in getting rid of Song Xi'er.

After Yu Niang left, Shen Xi took a detailed look.

With the current manpower and material resources of the Chamber of Commerce, it is basically impossible to confront Song Xi'er's people head-on, and it is best to find a martial arts master to assassinate Song Xi'er and muddy the situation.

A lot of things require patience!

Previously, Shen Xi had asked Ma Jiu to recruit people in the name of escorting the goods and needing more people to escort them, not seeking to take the initiative to attack, but when Song Xi'er's people came to provoke again, the Chamber of Commerce had the strength to fight with him.

For the rest of June, Shen Xi stayed quietly in the inn to study, the Chamber of Commerce and those grievances in the rivers and lakes. He could only put it aside for the time being, and even Su Tong's invitation to him to go out to participate in the cultural meeting was rejected by him.

The turmoil in Huaiyang Tower caused by Shen Mingwen's drunken disorderly sex made Shen Xi feel ashamed and felt a little sorry for Su Tong. If he goes out again, Shen Mingwen will definitely find a way to follow him, and it will not be good to cause trouble for Su Tong when the time comes.

Shen Mingwen began to come over to harass him, asking Shen Xi why his friends didn't come to the door?

In the end, the question was annoying, and Shen Mingwen himself felt bored. As long as no one visits, he doesn't even go out of the door, and occasionally asks the shopkeeper Yin to bring him a few taels of wine to drink alone, and all of them are recorded in the account. After nightfall, Shen Mingwen was determined to go to bed early, and the sound of snoring could be heard clearly next door.

Shen Xi didn't see many people every day, except for Shopkeeper Yin and the guy at the inn, who was almost fifty years old.

This Mrs. Yin is a warm-hearted person like Shopkeeper Yin, and I heard that Shen Xi is a young talent, so she is very respectful to him. I don't know when. She didn't let the store guys deliver food to Shen Xi, but personally carried the tray to the door. After entering the house, he sat occasionally and didn't talk much, just watching Shen Xi read and write there, with a little envy on his face.

“…… The little master has a good family background, and he is good at learning, and he has a little granddaughter, who is now ten years old, and let her come over to help you study ink, and serve tea and water? ”

Mrs. Yin is familiar with Shen Xi. Knowing that Shen Xi had both talent and morality, and was also very polite to her, an old woman, he began to babble some common words.

Shen Xi knew some of the situation of the Yin family, and the old couple was relatively open-minded. I didn't live with my children, and the family had a very good relationship. This inn is not big, and Shen Xi can often see the son of the shopkeeper Yin coming to help.

Mrs. Yin always praised her little granddaughter for how filial she was, how well-behaved and lovely, and praised her granddaughter as if she were a flower.

Shen Xi refused: "Mrs. Yin, I have grown up." You can take care of yourself and don't need others to come and help. ”

Mrs. Yin smiled: "Is this okay? The little master is a capable person, just feel at ease to do learning, and those trivial things can be handed over to the little girl to do. Alas...... If only the old man had a grandson who was as capable as a little master. After a sigh, she asked again, "Did the little master tell you about his family?" ”

After going around for a long time, I finally came up with the "main topic", Shen Xi also noticed that Mrs. Yin came today with some kind of purpose, although she would come in to sit in the past, but she was concise and never verbose, and today she talked a little more. Shen Xi replied: "The family promised to get married, and after visiting the round house, the family was relieved to let me come to the provincial capital to catch the exam." ”

Mrs. Yin's face showed disappointment and surprise: "The little master is not very old...... But that's right, Gao Tang is not far away, and he has to go to such a far place in the provincial capital to catch the exam, if the family does not book a family affair, his heart will definitely not be steady. ”

"The little master continues to be busy, turn around and let my little granddaughter come over to serve, and there is a very elegant saying, what is it called...... That's right, red sleeves add fragrance...... That girl hurts! ”

Shen Xi didn't expect that he said that he was married, but he still didn't dispel Mrs. Yin's idea of sending her granddaughter over to serve. When they went out downstairs, they heard the shopkeeper Yin's complaining words: "It is said that Xiaoya is not so blessed, don't be blind......"

Mrs. Yin said: "The little master has great skills, and the future is immeasurable, the little girl has passed, even if she is a girl who serves tea and water, she has not insulted her." ”

Shen Xixin said that the little girl's name was "Xiaoya", but it was the same as Lu Xi'er's nickname. Thinking of Lu Xi'er's obsession with him, treating him as a brother, a father, and even a lover, my heart warmed. I haven't seen anyone for a few months, and Shen Xi misses Xi'er and Lin Dai a little in his heart.

Thinking about it, Shen Xi thought about what Hui Niang was doing at this moment, what if he wasn't by his side and ran into trouble?

Two days later, Mrs. Yin really brought her little granddaughter over and personally sent her to Shen Xi's room to give Shen Xi a good introduction.

Xiao Nizi is ten years old, one year younger than Lu Xi'er.

Unlike Lu Xi'er, who is lively and cheerful, this girl gives Shen Xi a quiet and dull impression, of course, the biggest possibility is that she is afraid of life.

Mrs. Yin didn't notice it at all, and instructed: "Little girl, you are here to take care of the little master during this time, the little master is thirsty, you serve tea and water, the little master is hot, you fan him...... Don't run around, I'll pick you up next night. ”

Little Nizi glanced at her grandmother. He nodded slightly.

Mrs. Yin smiled, probably happy that her granddaughter was sensible. Mrs. Yin said: "The weather is very stuffy today, there is no river breeze, and it is hot when the windows are opened...... Little girl. You bring a fan over and give the little master a cool look. ”

Xiao Nizi went to the bedside and took the banana fan and began to fan Shen Xi, Mrs. Yin felt satisfied when she saw it, and then turned around and left.

Wait for someone to go downstairs. Xiao Nizi was still fanning her fan, and beads of sweat had begun to seep out of her forehead.

Shen Xi took a look at Xiao Nizi, a duck egg-shaped pretty face, a pair of eyes that were big and bright, delicate lips were small and ruddy, half-open and half-closed, revealing a row of white shell teeth, and Yuting's nose was slightly upturned, showing a little naughty and cute. He is petite and delicate, and wears a set of skirts tied with silk ribbons. Wearing a pair of red bow shoes on his feet, the whole person looks pink and jade.

It's a pity that he is too young and his body has not grown, so he can't show his figure.

Shen Xi waved his hand: "No need to fan, your heart is calm and naturally cool, I'm not hot, you take a stool and sit over." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Nizi didn't pretend to be, Shen Xi asked her to sit, she felt happy for a while, and quickly moved a round stool to the desk. After sitting on it, he looked at Shen Xi, and seemed to think that reading and reading was a wonderful thing.

Shen Xi smiled and asked, "Do you know how to read?" ”

Xiao Nizi shook her head and looked gloomy: "My brother will ...... I want to learn from him, but he doesn't teach me......"

Shen Xi said, "What's your name?" Shall I teach you to write your name? ”

Nizi blinked. plucked up a lot of courage before saying, "My name is Xiaoya, and my family calls me that." Little master, will you really teach me? ”

Shen Xi took out a piece of paper, wrote the word "Xiaoya" on it, and handed it to Xiao Nizi: "This is your name." You gesture with your hand first, remember it, and I'll check it later. ”

Xiao Nizi was so happy, holding a piece of paper with her name written on it, and for the first time she knew that the word "Xiaoya" was written like this, which was really amazing for her.

Xiao Nizi held the paper to the side, and used her fingers to draw on it over and over again, although these two words are less than strokes, but she doesn't know how to write after all, and the line of strokes and stroke order and strokes are not correct.

After a while, she came back cheerfully: "I have learned." ”

Shen Xi handed over the brush, taught her how to put down the pen, and taught her to write down her name by hand, but unfortunately Xiao Nizi took the pen softly, and the words written were crooked, but anyway, Shen Xi finally taught her to write her name.

Originally, Xiao Nizi was a little scared when she came into contact with strangers, but when she got acquainted with it, Xiao Nizi was much closer to Shen Xi, and she could see a smile on her face from time to time. When Mrs. Yin brought Xiao Nizi again the next day, there was no strangeness, and she smiled happily when she saw Shen Xi.

Mrs. Yin said: "The little master is really a good skill, and in just one day, he taught this girl to write her name." The daughter's family doesn't need to learn much, just be able to write the name...... This girl has no official name since she was a child, and she has been calling her Xiaoya, originally wanted to wait for her to grow up and marry into her husband's family, so that her husband's family would give her a name. ”

Shen Xi hurriedly saluted: "Don't dare to be." ”

Mrs. Yin said: "This can be a pain in the old body, the little master has a meritorious name, that is the Wenqu star in the sky, the little girl can get the name of the little master, it is her creation." ”

Shen Xi recalled that when he saw the shopkeeper Yin for the first time, the shopkeeper Yin didn't even want to accept the room money, so he wanted to give the inn a store sign after he was raised, which shows the Yin family's respect for him as a scholar. If he didn't name Xiao Nizi, he would feel a little sorry for the careful care of the shopkeeper and his wife these days.

Shen Xi didn't deliberately show off his talent at this time, and said in a very simple tone: "The little girl is so quiet, well-behaved and obedient, Wenwen is quiet, is it okay to call her Xiaowen?" ”

"Xiaowen? Yin Wen! ”

Mrs. Yin muttered two sentences, her eyes lit up, and she praised: "What a good name, Xiaowen, Yin Wen, Wenwen Jingjing, Wenqu Xing's name is different." Xiaoya, haven't you always wanted to have your own name, thank you little master. ”

Xiao Nizi learned from a woman to give Shen Xi a blessing, and said, "Thank you, little master." ”

Mrs. Yin smiled from ear to ear, but she didn't forget to remind: "I call the little master, but you can't, you want to call the little master, you know?" ”

Xiao Nizi obviously doesn't understand the difference between the two titles of "little master" and "little master", but she is very obedient, and she does what her grandmother says.

"Little master." Xiao Nizi called innocently, with a slightly shy smile on her face, about happy that she had a name.
