Xu Zizhen obviously didn't know what the Dao Xiuwentang was, but he literally understood that it must be a place to study, and he didn't care what expressions were on the faces of others, so he refused: "Mr. Gu's kind boy understands it, but the kid is not here." ”

Just kidding, the Jin Kingdom destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty in the past two years, and he still ran to the capital, isn't that looking for death? Or An An is hiding in Suzhou, looking for an opportunity to soak the pears in his hands and then become a few babies of his own......

Gu Yi was disappointed, but he didn't say anything, only told him that if he figured it out, he could go to him or something, and then walked away tremblingly on crutches, while Hu Chang showed a willingness to gamble and lose, and slipped away with Zhang Ling's trio first.

The trouble was solved, Qian Tongzhi also said goodbye, he was not good at writing, but he was still very eye-catching, although he had the heart to make friends with Xu Zizhen, but he still left space for him to soak Mo Lier, Xu Zizhen sighed at this, the difference between people and people is too big, why are these brothers so unclear?

Duan Chen was very curious about him, he thought that Xu Zizhen was just a civilian who couldn't fight well, but he didn't expect him to be so talented, he had to pull him to find a place to talk about everything, Duan Yan looked at Xu Zizhen from time to time with a pair of big eyes, and his curiosity was overflowing.

"I'm sorry Brother Duan, Li'er asked me to eat today, I'm afraid we'll have to talk another day." Xu Zizhen had no choice but to lie casually.

Duan Chen slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "This is the little brother who is abrupt, forgetting that Brother Xu has a beautiful woman by his side, so the little brother said goodbye first." "Say goodbye and take a long look.

Xu Zizhen hurriedly returned the salute: "Let's go, let's go." ”

Duan Yan suddenly jumped up to him, grinned and said, "Brother Xu, my brother and I live in the Yongfu Inn in the south of the city, if you are free, don't forget to come and play with us." After speaking, he pulled Duan Chen and walked away.

Xu Zizhen scratched his head: "This kid is also sixteen or seventeen years old, right?" Why do you still walk like a rabbit? ”

All the people who should have left left, Xu Zizhen also hurriedly pulled Mo Li'er and fled here, because his performance just now was too amazing, and there are still many people looking at him with admiration.

Before the two of them left Qianrenshi, Mo Li'er laughed, and Xu Zizhen was inexplicable: "Li'er, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Brother Xu, how did you know that I was going to ask you for dinner? Can you pinch it? ”

"Huh? Do you really want to invite you to dinner? Xu Zizhen also wanted to laugh a little, "But I have a problem, I'm not used to letting the eldest girl invite me, especially a beauty like you, or I'll invite you to choose a place." ”

Mo Li'er heard that he was praising himself for his good looks again, her little face suddenly turned red, and she said: "It was my mother who invited Brother Xu to thank Brother Xu for saving him yesterday, but it was not in any restaurant, but in my house, and I hope that Brother Xu will not dislike it." ”

Xu Zizhen patted his thigh: "I don't dislike it, the home cooking is good, hurry up, I'm hungry." ”

Mo Lier: "......"

originally thought that Mo Lier's family was either a farmer or a fisherman, but when he first arrived at Mo's house, Xu Zizhen found that he had guessed wrong, Mo Lier's family actually opened a large-scale rouge powder shop, which is in the most prosperous area of Suzhou Prefecture, and the name is also very Jiangnan charm, called Xie Fuchun.

"Pear, this ...... Is this your house open? Xu Zizhen was a little surprised, not only because of the scale of the store, but also because of Mo Lier's dress, she was dressed in ordinary cotton clothes, and she couldn't see the appearance of the rich second generation at all.

Mo Li'er smiled: "This shop has been passed on to my mother for the seventh generation. ”

Xu Zizhen was a little surprised, seven generations, it was a century-old store, Xu Zizhen was very interested in cosmetics in this era, and followed Mo Lier and walked in.

The inside of the store is very bright, with a central hall hanging on the wall facing the door, and there is a long counter on the left and right sides, with various colors of rouge and blush on one side, and incense powder and shavings oil on the other side, and a middle-aged woman sitting on each counter with a friendly smile.

Xu Zizhen was a little unsure which was Mo Li'er's mother, and he didn't know how to say hello, but at this embarrassing time, he saw a middle-aged woman coming out of the back room.

Mo Li'er pounced, hugged the woman's arm and said with a smile: "Mother, I invited Brother Xu here." ”

The woman tapped her forehead with her finger and said with a smile, "You girl, why haven't you come back until now?" After speaking, he looked at Xu Zizhen with a smile.

Wow, the future mother-in-law is so young! This is Xu Zizhen's first feeling, this half-old is extremely well maintained, the years do not seem to have left too obvious traces on her body, her hair is black and bright behind her head, and her eyes are slightly flashing, like a mature woman in her thirties.

Xu Zizhen was surprised and said casually: "Oh, aunt, you are so young." ”

Patting a woman's ass on age, this works in any dynasty, but this way of greeting is still abrupt in the Northern Song Dynasty, Mo Li'er's mother was slightly stunned, then pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly her charm was revealed: "Xu Gongzi praised it falsely." After speaking, he suddenly felt a deep blessing, "Old body Mo Xie, thank you Xu Gongzi for saving Li'er's life." ”

Xu Zizhen suddenly panicked: "Don't don't...... Auntie, don't be polite, the younger generation can't afford it, let's not thank you, thank you! ”

Mo Li'er watched it funny on the side, it was the first time she saw Xu Zizhen so flustered, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

The things Xu Zizhen ate at the temple fair had already been digested, and at this time, his stomach was calling again, and he blurted out somehow: "Yes, mother, I'm hungry too." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo Li'er's little face suddenly went straight to the depths of her neck like a burning red cloud, and she stomped behind Mo Xie's and hid behind Mo Xie's again, and then didn't dare to raise her head, Mo Xie's glanced at Xu Zizhen with a smile, and turned back to the two middle-aged women standing behind the counter and explained: "Sister Wu and Sister Sun, let's close early today." ”

The two women responded, teamed up to clean up the counter door panel, and peeked at Xu Zizhen with a low smile from time to time, seeing him a little hairy in his heart, Mo Xie quickly recovered, and raised his hand with a smile: "Xu Gongzi, please." ”

"Uh, please ......"

Xu Zizhen felt a little fever on his face, and he didn't dare to say anything at this time, so he had to honestly follow behind the mother and daughter, and turned into the inner hall.

There is a hole in the store, after bypassing the middle hall, there is a spacious patio, planted with a bush of bamboo, and the second into the middle is the living room of the Mo family, a room of furniture is cleaned up spotlessly, but it can be seen that it has been some years, the window lattice lintel is skillfully carved, obviously the Mo family's family background is quite solid.

It's just that Xu Zizhen didn't expect that Mo Li'er's family has such a big foundation, but there is not even a calling girl in the huge living room, and the dishes on the table are all made by Mo Xie's alone, at most, Li'er is the hand.

"Auntie, forgive me for talking too much, why don't you find a few maids and aunts or something?" Xu Zizhen finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.

Mo Xie smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile, and said slowly: "My husband died early, leaving me and Li'er to rely on each other, although my family is not small, but I am a woman and I really can't expand, and now the business is becoming more and more unbearable, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult to keep it stable." ”

Xu Zizhen was silent, he knew very well how hard it was for a woman's family to support a family alone, and he was tired enough to live with his younger brother after his parents died.

"Auntie, I toast you, you have worked hard!" Xu Zizhen picked up the wine glass and said seriously, and drank it all after speaking.

Mo Xie also took a shallow sip of the cup, seeing that this topic seemed to be a little heavy, she cleaned up her mood and suddenly asked: "I heard Li'er say that you met Mr. Gu Yi in Tiger Hill today?" ”

Xu Zizhen nodded: "Yes, that old man is very interesting, the first time he saw me, he wanted to recommend me to the capital or something." ”

Mo Xie was a little surprised: "Oh? Xiuwentang is the first literary society of the Great Song Dynasty, there are countless famous teachers and Confucians, but anyone who can enter Xiuwentang to study, the hope of entering the middle of the future will be greatly improved, I heard Li'er say that the child's literary talent is excellent, why is there no interest in this? ”

Xu Zizhen smiled: "I'm not a scholar, that kind of place is not attractive to me, besides, I just returned to my homeland, the most important thing at present is to make money, otherwise I can't eat enough, how can I have spare time to study?" ”

He can't tell Mo Xie that his level is actually undebunkable, and the words of the poems on the chrysanthemum exhibition are all copied, especially the Tibetan poem, which shamelessly changed Tang Bohu's chrysanthemum poem.

Thinking of this, he was a little secretly glad that he had pursued those young women in art schools back then, and in order to put on a façade for himself, he didn't have to memorize those poems and songs, but he didn't expect that the most beautiful girl didn't get a few, but the poems he memorized came in handy at this time.

Mo Xie smiled and said, "Childe doesn't want to enter the office, isn't he going to be in business?" ”

Xu Zizhen just sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and wanted to put it in his mouth, he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, he didn't plan to go to the capital to study, but he still had a blank plan for the future, doing business? Are you the material?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart, but his face was still silent, and he changed the topic with a smile: "Let's talk about the future, one step at a time...... Auntie, I don't know much about rouge, can you tell me about the varieties sold in the store? ”

Mo Xie didn't know how he was interested in rouge, but since he asked, he gave him a brief introduction, such as rouge, hair wax, lip red, and the dankou that painted his nails, etc., the classification grade and color were briefly said, Xu Zizhen listened to it in his ears and remembered it in his heart, and gradually became happy.

Dude knows what he can do!
