Chapter 4 Reading and Trading
The next day, Guo Shan burned soup and washed his face in the back room. Before he finished washing, Tang Xuan's voice came from the outhouse: "Brother, Sister Su Su and Sister Ning are here." ”
Guo Shan sighed and said busily: "I'll come out now." ”
Hurriedly washed up, went straight out of the house, and sure enough, I saw Wang Susu in a purple skirt and Sister Ning in a redwood. Tang Juan was still combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and Sister Ning was laughing and joking with her. Guo Shan stepped forward and greeted the two girls.
Over there, Wang Susu said politely to Guo Shan: "Thank you Guo Dalang for your help yesterday." ”
Guo Shan replied politely: "I didn't help anything, and the two of you have to be careful in the future." ”
Sister Ning had stepped forward to take Guo Shan's hand, and her movements were as natural and cordial as before. pulled Guo Shan aside and asked softly, "Guo Dalang, what are the origins of those three people yesterday?" ”
Tang Juan also asked Guo Shan several times last night, but Guo Shan didn't want to say it. Seeing that Wang Susu was also looking at him at this moment, Guo Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I don't know the three of them at all." ”
The three girls all said 'ah', Wang Susu glanced at Guo Shan with understanding, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Then you are so bold that you actually hid all of us." I was surprised last night, you know people you don't know, and you can bluff people away in a few words. ”
Listening to her with anger, Guo Shan also relieved his heart.
It seems that Wang Susu has forgiven himself for yesterday's nonsense, which is no better.
Sister Ning was indeed a little flustered, and said, "In this way, we still don't know where people come from, and yesterday Su Su and I were still thinking about coming to you in the morning to ask you for some news, so that we can make plans." ”
Tang Juan followed Sister Ning'er's words and asked Guo Shandao: "Then they won't retaliate against us, right?" ”
She was scared now.
Guo Shan shook his head and said, "The only thing that can be determined now is that even if the other party wants to retaliate, he will not come openly, at most he will play some small tricks." Sister Ning and Miss Su Su got acquainted with some dignitaries? If it's just a small trick, you don't need to be afraid. If they had dared to speak up, they wouldn't have left so easily last night. ”
Wang Susu smiled: "I also know this, but I think that even if he can't deal with me and Sister Ning for the time being, I'm afraid that your brother and sister will be a little dangerous." ”
Guo Shan heard the words and knew that Wang Susu came early in the morning mainly to remind him, and his face showed gratitude, and he immediately said: "As long as you are careful, it is not so easy to be plotted, but the two girls need to bring more servants when they go out in the future." ”
Sister Ning scratched Guo Shan's head with a smile and said, "How old are you, and you have learned from others to teach you Sister Ning and Sister Su Su?" ”
The hair that had just been combed was messed up by Sister Ning'er by grabbing and rubbing it like this, and Guo Shan's face turned red. Tang Huang next to him immediately turned his head and pretended not to see it, so that his brother would not be so embarrassed.
What Guo Shan can't stand the most is Sister Ning's 'rudeness', according to his real age, his two lives are combined, Sister Ning has to call him 'brother', and even be her 'uncle'.
"Don't take it seriously, since ancient times, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent." Guo Shandao.
"It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, that's a good point." Wang Susu praised, looked at Guo Shandao intriguingly: "I really don't know where you remembered such an incisive sentence as a child." ”
Tang Juan puffed up his chest proudly when he heard this: "My brother is amazing, he knows what is in the book, and he will also know what is not in the book." Sister Su Su, everyone said that you are talented, and my brother actually doesn't lose to you at all. ”
Wang Susu smiled and didn't speak, noncommittal. Because Guo Shan has always been low-key, she has never heard anything shocking from Guo Shan's mouth. It's not that she is self-assured, but she doesn't believe that Guo Shan will have skills comparable to her own at a young age.
Sister Ning laughed and said, "You little girl slaps your brother's ass, how do you know how powerful your sister Su Su is?" But my Guo Dalang is also amazing. After speaking, he pulled Guo Shan's face.
Guo Shan dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and when he saw his sister peeking at him, he knew that he might not have any more majesty in the future.
Wang Susu coughed dryly, and said: "Guo Dalang, don't just know and advise us, but we are negligent, in the end, I and you Sister Ning still know some high-ranking officials and nobles, and there are not many people on the official face who will embarrass us, but you are different from Xiaojuan." He added: "After all, yesterday's incident was caused by me, so I should be responsible for this matter." In the future, if someone makes things difficult for you, tell me, and I may be able to help you with ideas. ”
Guo Shan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it should be you who should be careful." I just said one sentence yesterday, how can I be considered offending someone? Maybe people didn't take me to heart. ”
Sister Ning agreed with Guo Shan's words very much, and also felt that this matter should not involve Guo Shan.
Over there, Tang Juan had already cleaned up her makeup, and Guo Shan immediately went back to the back room and brought out the cooked porridge. His brother and sister are used to breakfast, and Guo Shan's lifestyle is that they would rather have less clothes and resolutely pay attention to their diet.
Wang Susu and Sister Ning didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, because they spent almost every day at the banquet, and eating too much was not beautiful.
However, Tang Juan repeatedly persuaded him to eat, and Guo Shan also intended to apologize for saying the wrong thing yesterday, so Wang Susu also responded. In fact, Sister Ning didn't know what Guo Shan said yesterday, so it was very strange how Guo Shan could be so attentive today.
If someone else was attentive, she would definitely think that person was thinking about her body. But Guo Shanxian is diligent, and she never thinks about it.
First, Guo Shan is still young, second, Guo Shan has always been terrible when he speaks and acts, and thirdly, it was once her Sister Ning molested Guo Shan, and there was no example of Guo Shan molesting her.
Although the hot porridge is coarse tea and light rice, the three of them eat it very warmly. During the banquet, Sister Ning asked, "Guo Dalang will still sell silk for a while?" ”
Guo Shan nodded and said, "Yesterday I told a guest that I would sell three handkerchiefs to that person." ”
Sister Ning couldn't help but say, "Is it your handkerchief?" Why did the man specify you? ”
Guo Shan smiled when he heard this, and drank the hot porridge in the coffin: "My handkerchief is not good, but people want to buy it, and there is a reason for others to come." ”
said that Guo Shan was also depressed, because in fact, it was not the first time that the young man who bought his silk had bought it from him. I buy a lot of money every time, almost at a specific time period.
Sister Ning joked and said, "Didn't any young lady send someone to buy silk from you because she fell in love with you?" ”
Guo Shan was not shy when he heard this, he only chuckled and said: "I don't have anything to look at, and I don't look like a jade tree in the wind, who will take a fancy to me?" ”
Sister Ning immediately said: "Who said that you are not Yushu Linfeng, it's just that you are still young now." In two years, he will definitely be a romantic figure who attracts bees and butterflies. ”
Wang Susu listened to Sister Ning'er's more and more unserious, interrupted her words, and asked Guo Shandao: "What are Guo Dalang's plans in the future?" ”
"I can't think of a far-reaching plan, but if you have the capital, you can go to the East Market to rent a shop. But even if there is a shop, there is nothing to sell, and the grade is a little smaller, and I can't meet any merchants. However, selling silk all day long is not a solution. That's really what he's been thinking about.
But Wang Susu obviously thought more than he thought: "Even if there are merchants to supply you and shops to sell things to you, are you really only a merchant for the rest of your life?" ”
"What's wrong with being a businessman? There's nothing wrong with that. Guo Shan said with a smile.
"His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict, everyone in the world can study history books and classics, and they can also rush to the court to be an official in the future. How can a good boy miss this opportunity? You are not very old, and your brain is flexible, so you might as well use it to study in this good year, and you will be able to glorify your ancestors in the future. Wang Susu said this to Guo Shan, half seriously and half jokingly.
Guo Shan heard her sincere tone, and knew that she really regarded herself as a younger brother. Although moved, Guo Shan really couldn't appreciate her affection, and said with a smile: "Where can I read books in my brain, let's sell my handkerchief." ”
Wang Susu's face sank when he heard this, and he said with some hatred: "Don't think I don't like what I say, if you didn't dare to speak for me last night, I wouldn't care about your business." To tell you the truth, no matter how good a merchant is, it is only a cheap industry after all, and it is not as good as arable land. Are you short of money? If you're short on money, I can help. ”
Guo Shan knows that she is much richer than himself, but how can he easily accept the favor of others? Especially yesterday, when he said bad things about others, he asked them for money, and he couldn't kill Guo Shan.
Immediately shook his head.
Although Tang Juan didn't speak, he kept listening to Wang Su Suning's sisters. She held her mouth aggrievedly and said, "Brother, why don't I go out to sell silk in the future." There are only two people in our family, and girls can't play a role in studying, so if you go to school and take exams in the future, will I take care of the food and clothing at home? ”
Guo Shan's face sank, slapped the table, and even threw his stinky face to Sister Ning and Wang Susu: "What's the use of saying these frustrating words?" Is studying to be an official? If everyone studies just to be an official, then there are more scholars in the world, but where are there so many officials in the imperial court for them? In this way, wouldn't all the scholars in the world become wasted people who read for nothing and don't know how to farm? Reading is only for the sake of reasoning, arguing between black and white, letting farmers know the truth of spring planting and autumn harvest, letting merchants know how to calculate goods, and letting craftsmen know the rules of the operation of all things. It's not just men who should study, women should read as well. ”
Guo Shan couldn't stand Tang Xuan's frustrating words, but whenever the little girl said a frustrating word, he would be furious. It's really because he puts too much effort into the little girl, and because he only has such a relative in this era. beat him to death and refused to let his sister be a fool who was exploited by others and didn't wake up in the future.
Tang Xuan's tears came down, and he choked on a mouthful of porridge in his throat. Sister Ning glanced at Guo Shan, Wang Susu's face was blue and red, and she was embarrassed to be holding it there.
Guo Shan also felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, he had no experience in coaxing children with children. Thinking of opening his mouth to comfort Tang Juan and reason with her, I felt that it was really inconvenient for Wang Susu and Sister Ning, two outsiders, to be here. Thinking about continuing to scold, isn't that continuing to give face to the two girls? He had no choice but to go to the corner and pick up the box and go out.
Watching Guo Shan go away, Sister Ning spat at Guo Shan's back angrily, and then comforted Tang Juan: "Your brother is bullying you with his identity, don't be afraid of him." In the future, if he dares to scold you like this again, you will scold him back, but if you can't scold, you will come and tell Sister Ning, see if you Sister Ning does not invite a group of sisters to throw him to the Bahe River outside Chang'an City. ”
Her persuasion failed to persuade Tang Juan, but made Tang Juan's tears flow more violently.
Wang Susu coughed dryly, wiped her tears for her, and said, "It's all my sister's fault, if I hadn't said those words before, I wouldn't have caused so many troubles." ”
Sister Ning said, "Is that your fault?" It's obviously that kid is brainless. He doesn't like to read, and he still says so many big things. What woman should study, what merchant should read, what farmer should read, who have you heard say this? We kindly persuaded him to come, but he didn't appreciate it and scolded him bitterly. Phew" Sister Ning became more and more angry the more she spoke.
