The old man and the girl crossed the river, and there were already people on the other side of the river who were waiting in a carriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Get on the bus and head to Tokyo City.

The curtains hung down, and the girl didn't want to look out the window, even if it was bright and picturesque outside. She was afraid that if she saw the disciple, she tried to forget the unpleasant experience as soon as possible.

It's just that she still wipes her lips from time to time, and subconsciously covers the placket on her chest, which seems a little difficult to forget......

The old man sat calmly in the carriage, closing his eyes and recuperating, as if thinking about something. Outside the carriage, a driver drove a car, and next to him was a middle-aged man who had just jumped into the car.

"Li Gong, it can be determined that it was not simply hit the rocks, the boat was tampered with, and Shen Niangzi took the first step and happened to be in distress."

"Humph!" The old man in the carriage snorted coldly, and after verifying the conjecture in his heart, he became more and more annoyed.

"It's the negligence of the subordinates, there is no guarantee of thoroughness, fortunately Shen Niangzi is fine, otherwise the crime deserves death." The middle-aged man whispered guilty.

"Well, if you want to be careless, it's also me...... Underestimating the extent of their audacity and arrogance, they dared to commit a crime in Tokyo. ”

The old man said in a deep voice: "Yan'er is blocking a danger for my old bones, fortunately, this child is deeply blessed, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to her father." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Shen Niangzi Jiren has her own natural appearance, safe and sound, Li Gong doesn't have to mind, after returning to Tokyo, his subordinates will arrange for people to pay attention to ensure the safety of Shen Niangzi." ”

"Well, my granddaughter is very good, but it's a pity that it's a girl, it would be nice to be a boy, much better than my grandchildren." The old man sighed with emotion and said, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank that young man today." ”

"Yes, thanks to that little brother Xue who came to the rescue, it was a coincidence."

"Is it really a coincidence?"

When the old man asked, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly tightened, and he frowned: "What?" Does Gong Li think there is something wrong with that young man? ”

"It's hard to say, maybe I'm suspicious, you go check for me, if it's okay, it's best, Li and Shen will be treated as guests." If you have any questions, hum! The old man didn't continue, but his tone was already a very clear signal.

The middle-aged man knew in his heart, nodded and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

……

Xue Zong sneezed suddenly, he never expected that his righteous and courageous behavior would be suspected.

When the old grandmother heard this, she was very nervous and said, "Zong'er, didn't you catch a cold in the water just now?" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's nothing, grandmother doesn't have to worry." Xue Zong rubbed his nose and didn't feel anything wrong.

Xue Mengshi said: "Zong'er, when did you learn to float?" It's too reckless, in case you ......"

"Oh, I used to secretly go down to the river to play in the water in the summer, and I was afraid that my grandmother would worry, so I didn't dare to tell you." Xue Zong prevaricated: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, if someone hadn't gone into the water to save me that day, my grandson might have ...... If you encounter it today, how can you stand idly by? ”

"Well, but you have to be careful." Xue Mengshi exhorted and asked, "It seems to be a rich and noble family over there?" ”

"Yes!" Xue Zong responded, but did not tell the old grandmother that he had saved a girl just now, and there were very intimate actions, which made the little lady grit her teeth with hatred.

Xue Mengshi is not the kind of person who is greedy for small and cheap and clings to the powerful, so he has no other thoughts.

……

After returning home, Xue Mengshi urged Xue Zong to read and review.

The examination of the Four Gates Pavilion is after the Qingming Festival, and Xue Mengshi attaches great importance to this, and hopes that his grandson will have a good future in the future after entering the ranks through this way.

Xue Zong himself refused, but he couldn't stand the repeated persuasion of his grandmother, so he had to agree hard. It's just that the subset of scriptures and history brought back by Mr. Qiu can't be seen at all, and the entrance exams of these four halls are more likely to be soy sauce.

Shinong Industry and Commerce, although this year is the best development path, but the difficulty is not low, unless the entrance examination of the four halls and the imperial examination in the future can be cheated.

Xue Zong regretted a lot, why didn't he take a good look at such a masterpiece as "99 Methods of Cheating in the Ancient Imperial Examination", otherwise he would definitely be familiar with the road and it would be easy.

Now I can only take one step at a time and resign myself to fate.

It is said that this year's weather is hotter than usual, and some people in the market have begun to sell the ice of last year.

And Xue Zong also found out a good news, last year Tokyo Bianliang seemed to have experienced a warm winter, the ice was not thick, and the amount of ice was not very large.

In addition, the weather is hot early this year, and the consumption rate will naturally increase, so how much will the demand for ice cubes in the whole of Tokyo be by then?

In particular, ice cubes are slightly processed to increase added value, such as ice cream, chilled bean paste, and various ice drinks, which are sure to be popular.

Business opportunities, but a lot of copper coins!

In April, it seems that the emperor would personally visit Jinmyeongchi to parade the water army, and then engage in various amusement activities, and on that day the people of Tokyo were entitled to enter the imperial gardens to have fun with the emperor.

It's a great opportunity to market for the holidays, so Xue Zong plans to prepare well in advance so that his signature products and brands can be known in Tokyo.

At present, the rock sugar gourd, rock sugar and meat sandwich bun series are selling well, and when Xue Zong came to the market, there were a lot of people crowded in front of Liu's shop.

Nowadays, the business is quite prosperous, and children like to eat rock sugar gourds, and rock sugar comes out in a few days, and children who like sweets naturally like it.

Parents bought it to coax their children, and there was even a gradual trend that relatives and friends would weigh half a catty of rock candy and some fruits as souvenirs to bring to their children.

Liu Jia, the fruit is naturally prosperous, it is said that he already has plans to put the shop next to him to sell rock candy, and his son Liu Bing now has the title of rock sugar Liu.

In this regard, Xue Zong was quite happy.

One is that he also earns money, and on the other hand, he can be regarded as repaying his neighbors who help each other and love each other.

Seeing Xue Zong coming, the Guozi Liu family was full of smiles, very welcome, and hurriedly beckoned Xue Zong into the house.

"Brother Zong'er, come on, your aunt asked someone to buy the rice wine from Mahang Street, come and taste it!"

"Okay!" Xue Zong answered, and was about to walk forward, but was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Turning his head, it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, very familiar, and after a moment of hesitation, Xue Zong remembered the rich maid he had seen in the Qiu Ji Pharmacy.

"Childe, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're really here!"

"Oh, I wonder what the girl is looking for me?"

The maid said: "The rock sugar gourd recommended by the princess last time, my lady ate it quite effectively, and her appetite is much better." ”

"So you're going to buy some more? There are a lot of them here, and the old guests give you a little discount. ”

"I want to buy it, but it's not for my lady, but for ......" The maid paused: "I came to find my son today because I want to ask for advice." ”

Xue Zong smiled: "Don't dare to ask for advice, if the girl needs anything, but it doesn't hurt to say, do your best." ”

The maid said in a low voice: "That's the case, my lady has been coughing a little lately, but she is unwilling to ask a doctor for medicine, I don't know if my son has a diet like a rock sugar gourd?" ”

"Your master is sick, you should find a doctor, isn't it a little ...... to find it?"

"I went to the pharmacy, Doctor Qiu didn't have a countermeasure, I thought that the rock sugar gourd was recommended by Gongzi that day, so I inquired on the street and found here, just waiting for Gongzi."

The maid said in a low voice: "Take the liberty to ask the son, there is a way to do the best, and if there is no way, forget it......"

"Huh!" Xue Zong chuckled and said, "Okay, thanks to the girl's affordability, there is indeed a way." ”

"Really?"

"Naturally!" Xue Zong smiled, took a few pears and a packet of rock sugar from Liu Jia's stall, and said: "Remove the core of the pear, put the rock sugar in it and steam it in the cage, and after all the rock sugar is melted, eat the pear and soup to moisten the lungs and relieve cough."

If it doesn't work, ask the doctor to ask for medicine as soon as possible, don't be careless. ”

"Okay, thank you, Childe!" The maid didn't think much about it, completely trusted Xue Zong's statement, and immediately took out her purse to pay.

Xue Zong was not polite, asked Brother Bing to settle the accounts and collect the money, and then sent the maid away.

The maid thanked her again and again and turned to leave, but a moment later the sound of horses' hooves and exclamations sounded at the same time, and a packet of rock candy flew up and sprinkled all over the ground......
