Chapter VII The Mansion of the State of Qi I

readx;

Wang Susu's house is obviously much more spacious than Guo Shan's house, divided into an outhouse and an inner room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Inside, there are a few small mazas, and a screen stands in the center of the room. On a low table lay paper, calligraphy, pen and ink, and next to it stood a lute.

Guo Shan didn't dare to take a closer look after coming in, the only thing he could clearly feel was that he entered the room with a unique aroma mixed with bookish incense and rouge.

The inner room behind the screen is Wang Susu's sleeping place, with a small embroidered red quilt on the kang and a rectangular red lacquered kang cabinet at the foot of the bed. On the cabinet stands a bronze mirror, which can be used as a dresser.

Wang Susu took out a wooden pillow from the wardrobe at the head of the bed and threw it to Guo Shan, and pointed at the end of the bed with his hand: "You sleep outside." ”

Where does Guo Shan dare not be.

In general, men sleep inside, and women sleep outside. But the two are obviously not husband and wife, and besides, people pity themselves for giving up a piece of land for themselves to make up for the night.

Guo Shan didn't pay so much attention to it, and saw Wang Susu take a quilt from the cabinet and throw it on the bed. She pushed the quilt she had used earlier into the bed, and placed the new quilt outside the bed.

It can be seen that although she doesn't have much scruples about Guo Shan, she still has to avoid suspicion in the end.

Guo Shan was secretly grateful, and didn't say much, and finally got into the quilt with his clothes and covered his head with his body. The air was stuffy, and he also smelled the aroma on the bed, so that Guo Shan would not be stuffy and uncomfortable.

He suddenly thought that he hadn't washed his feet, so he didn't want to mention it.

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as he arrived at the fourth watch the next day, Guo Shan was picked up by Wang Susu and urged him to get out of bed. After all, I am afraid that Guo Shan will be gossiped about if he is late, although Guo Shan's current age does not look like a person who can have sex.

"After a while, Sister Ning asked where you rested last night, what should you say?" Wang Susu asked in the outhouse.

Guo Shan hurriedly put on his boots in the back room, took the bronze mirror and combed his unkempt hair casually, biting the square scarf in his mouth and said vaguely: "Oh, I rested in the hostel for a night." ”

Outside, Wang Susu let out a satisfied 'um', and Guo Shan heard her pouring water. When he saw that the lamp had already been lit outside, he blew out the candle in the inner room.

When I got out of the back room, I saw Wang Susu cutting the wick with scissors. Guo Shan stepped forward and thanked her, and said, "The girl helped me again." ”

Wang Susu glanced at him when he heard this, and sneered: "It's good if you don't dislike me." ”

Guo Shan's face turned red when he heard this, and Wang Susu pointed outside the house: "There is hot soup outside." ”

Guo Shan thanked him, ran out by himself, scooped hot water from the steaming hot pot, washed his face, wiped it with his sleeve and ran back to the house.

Wang Susu was writing and drawing on paper with a brush, when she heard Guo Shan coming in, she didn't look up and asked, "In the future, you will live by selling handkerchiefs?" Xiaowan has grown up, and there are many places to use money. Just by selling handkerchiefs, I'm afraid you won't be able to support the two of you. ”

Guo Shan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Yesterday, Old Man Xu from Chongde Medicine invited me to work at him, and I am going to go to him to have a look." ”

Wang Susu glanced at Guo Shan, nodded and said, "Well, that's fine." But you have to think about what I told you yesterday, if you really don't like to study, it's okay to learn martial arts. If a man can't govern the country and secure the country, he can only make a name for himself right away. Without waiting for Guo Shan to speak, she immediately said: "I'll just say that, it's up to you whether you listen or not." ”

Guo Shan nodded modestly, looked at her and said, "What is this writing, girl?" ”

Wang Susu was stunned for a moment, stopped writing, and said: "I went to a nobleman's house to play a tune a few days ago, and now many people like to listen to fresh tunes, so the nobleman invited me to write a new tune together." ”

Guo Shan nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.

The two of them had a match or not, and after saying a word or two, they heard the sound of opening the door outside, and saw that they were stepping on clogs, not wearing a shirt but a skirt. The ribbon of the skirt is knotted under the armpits, but the deep ravine** is exposed; A pair of feet without socks are also exposed, and the ten toes are round and jade.

The visitor hadn't seen Guo Shan yet, he covered his mouth and yawned, walked to Wang Susu in a daze, and muttered, "Susu, what are you doing so early today?" ”

"Ahem, Sister Ning is also up." Guo Shan had to remind him awkwardly.

"Eh." Sister Ning'er's face changed, she covered her chest and turned around and ran.

Wang Susu smiled, watched Sister Ning walk out of the house in embarrassment, and said to Guo Shan, who looked embarrassed: "It's not a big deal, you don't know how old she is, and she didn't suffer." ”

Guo Shan was extremely embarrassed when he heard this, is this still an age if he suffers a loss? Anyway, if he really counts according to his age, he is not much older than Wang Susu.

'Bang', followed by a female voice screaming outside. Guo Shan and Wang Susu were both stunned, and then they heard Sister Ning shouting outside: "The old lady forgot to look at the yellow calendar when she went out today, and she fell when she was about to come." ”

Half an hour later, Sister Ning's footsteps sounded outside the house again.

This time she put on her clothes and wore a pair of cloud-curly powder-toed embroidered shoes on her feet. A butterfly silver hairpin was inserted in the cloud bun, and the face was smeared with dandan.

She used to dress up in the past half an hour, on the other hand, Wang Susu naturally draped her hair over her shoulders, without powder, and only wore a green jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Stinky boy, why don't you say anything when you come? Now that you've seen all your Sister Ning's body, you've made a lot of money, right? ”

Guo Shan was admiring Wang Susu's beauty, and suddenly felt a pain on his face, he took a breath of cool air, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Ning, we didn't mean it." ”

"Heh, after reading an unintentional sentence, it's okay? Your Sister Ning's face can be regarded as a loss today. Without waiting for Guo Shan to speak, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's cheaper for you kid." By the way, why are you here, you won't sleep with Susu at night, right?"

Guo Shan was embarrassed, and suddenly heard the morning drum sound, and the time was already five and three minutes, and he immediately said: "The door is open, I have to go to work." ”

"Hey, stop, get it clear." Sister Ning wanted to arrest Guo Shan, but Guo Shan had already slipped out.

She spat indignantly: "Forget it, I should be bitten by a dog today." ”

Guo Shan outside stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

At noon, the East Market was wide open, and the flow of people was crowded.

Guo Shan squeezed into the crowd and entered the downtown area, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva at the restaurant next to him, and bypassed the stall selling Hu cakes and went to Willow Lane.

Chongde Medicine Store opened the door early, Guo Shan looked inside, and walked in with a red face.

"Yo, the stinky boy came early today." Old man Xu's beard had already been glued, and when he saw Guo Shan coming, he smiled and joked.

"Uh-huh." Guo Shan coughed dryly and said, "What are you busy with?" ”

Old man Xu glanced at Guo Shan when he heard this, put the book down and said, "Didn't you see me reading?" ”

"Healing? What book is this? Guo Shan stepped forward and grabbed the book in Old Man Xu's hand, but was slapped open by Old Man Xu.

The old man said angrily: "What are you doing with your hairy hands, this book is the only one in the world, the old man used to bring it out from the palace Hongwen Pavilion, it's not right, boy, why didn't you bring your broken box today?" He suddenly realized that something was wrong with Guo Shan today.

Guo Shan smiled and said, "I don't plan to sell handkerchiefs today, come and have fun, have fun." After speaking, he turned to look at the medicine cabinets on both sides of the medicine store.

"Don't mess around, those are treasures." Old man Xu grabbed Guo Shan's clothes and didn't allow him to touch the glass bottle on the counter.

In fact, although Old Man Xu's business is not good, there are a lot of medicinal materials in this medicine shop. The two-zhang high medicine cabinet alone has two in the east and west directions, and there seems to be medicinal herbs stored in the inner room.

Seven or eight lantern-sized glass bottles were lined up on the two medicine cabinets, and the bottles contained red liquid impregnated with various Chinese medicines.

Glass bottles like this are not only on the counter, but there are also several on the south-facing table, but they are relatively small. Guo Shan went to get those glass bottles before he was pulled by Old Man Xu.

"Heh, look at your urgency." Guo Shan turned around and looked at Old Man Xu, who was staring at him blowing his beard, and said, "Is it medicinal wine in it?" ”

Guo Shanbei was about to go away, but Old Man Xu refused to let him go. Slipped him to the counter and pinched the back of his neck, squinting and laughing, "Stinky boy, honestly, what are you here for today?" ”

Guo Shan's face turned red when he heard this, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "The handkerchief can't be sold, haven't you always wanted me to come over to help you?" Cheng, you make a price, and I'll come here to help in the future. But our brother settles the account, I help you here, you give me the same money a month, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. ”

"Phew." Old man Xu spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm to the ground, and scolded: "Sun Tzu, you still want to be my brother after two generations of me, and give you consistent money a month?" How much is the money? That's a thousand dollars, enough to buy a horse of silk enough to buy a hundred buckets of rice, have you always used it up in a year? ”

Guo Shan's face flushed, knowing that his lion had opened his mouth. But when it comes to the price, of course, it's going higher. He immediately said: "Okay, you can't give the usual cheaper, you say you can drive as much." ”

"The old man will feed you, live for you, and pass on your medical skills, which will be enough to cover your salary." Old man Xu crossed his legs and said to Guo Shandao.

"Phew." Guo Shan's thick phlegm didn't spit out, but the whole person jumped up and scolded: "You are really not ashamed to be old, do you see that you are giving people the price?" If I'm just for my own food and clothing, then I need to go to you? When the time comes, you will be followed to kill someone, and you will have to fight a lawsuit, how much risk will this take? As for your medical skills, I really don't think about it. ”

"Concubine Zi'an dares to despise me, see if the old man doesn't teach you a lesson."

Guo Shan saw a flash in his hand, followed by a numb wrist.

Old man Xu's other hand pressed Guo Shan's forehead again, Guo Shan felt that his acupuncture points were pinched, and his blood and qi were no longer smooth. The feeling of dizziness was immediately born, and I almost wanted to vomit.

Old man Xu let go of his hand and said, "Now you know how powerful the old man is, right?" ”

"Old Pitch." Guo Shan gritted his teeth, turned around and left. But he was suddenly grabbed by Old Man Xu and said to him: "Slow, you came just in time today, I still need your help." ”

Guo Shan shook off his hand and said, "I don't know you, why should I help you." ”

Old man Xu smiled and said, "You still have a temper, the old man told you that if you do well this trip, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking for a month." ”

Guo Shan squinted his eyes, feeling that this old man didn't seem to be fake.

"Tempted, right? Boy, how much money can you get a day selling handkerchiefs? It's better to go on a trip with the old man and make a relaxing and happy money to go home. ”

Guo Shandao: "Is there such a good thing? Why do you call me if there is such a good thing? ”

Old man Xu said: "Because the old man likes you, he has been hey since he saw you, what are you running?" ”

Although Old Man Xu's eyes were sincere when he spoke, Guo Shan didn't feel moved at all. He felt goosebumps falling all over his body, and he felt that he was about to be disgusted to death by Old Man Xu's words.
