After entering the county, Chen Yuan found that there was really nothing to visit in such a small county. A main road is similar to the alleys of Bianjing, most of the shops on the side of the road are half-covered, and those guys are obviously lazier than the guys in Bianjing, and when the sporadic guests pass by the door, some merchants don't greet them at all, just waiting for the guests to enter the door themselves.

Although the streets are narrow, there are not many pedestrians, so they are not crowded.

The children were extremely excited, Brother Dong pulled Qin Xianglian's clothes, his eyes turned quickly, as if he was looking for something: "Mother! The last time you brought me, wasn't there a little monkey trick? I'm going to see it again! ”

Qin Xianglian's hand touched Brother Dong's head, and a kind smile appeared on her face, last time, last time it seemed to be two years ago, it was rare for this child to remember. It was precisely because of this that Qin Xianglian felt a little guilty in her heart.

Chen Yuan turned his head to look at Brother Dong and beckoned him to come over: "Brother Dong, did you see the kite seller in front?" Want one? Daddy bought it for you. ”

The child is like this, when he sees one thing, he will forget the other, Brother Chen Dong looked at the kite fluttering in the wind at the door of the kite shop, he was very happy, and ran forward with his feet outstretched: "Dad, I want that centipede!" I want centipedes! ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay." As he spoke, he took out a few loose money from his arms and stuffed it to Qin Xianglian: "Lady, you take the children to have a look, and let them buy whatever they want." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Chen Shimei's father and mother: "Mother, this time I came back in a hurry, and I only bought you a few clothes, what else do you want?" ”

The old mother is obviously the traditional Chinese kind of old mother, with a satisfied smile on her face, and she is holding the crutch that Chen Yuan bought for her: "Don't do it!" Don't! I don't want anything, I can't say it's coming, you have to let me come. ”

The old man's mood is obviously very good, no matter what, this time he entered the city in a carriage with four horses, although the carriage was earned by Chen Yuan from trading, but it still made him feel very faced, and his tone was a lot softer when he spoke to Chen Yuan: "You turn yours, don't care about me and your mother, we have bad legs, and the children will be in a hurry." ”

Chen Yuan responded: "Yes." ”

However, his steps did not speed up at all, and he walked unhurriedly in front of the two old men, without any intention of leaving alone.

This made Chen Sheng next to him very surprised: "Shimei, you have really changed." ”

Chen Yuan smiled at him: "Where has changed?" ”

Chen Sheng looked at him: "In the past, you would definitely not take your family to the county to hang out, let alone accompany your uncle like this, and you have never been considerate to your sister-in-law, you always reached out and asked her for money." ”

Chen Yuan leaned over him and asked in a low voice, "I'm just wondering, why do you keep treating me as a friend?" In the past, when we were together, you spent money on eating and drinking, after so many years, what do you think I am worthy of being your friend? ”

Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Do you really want to know?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Chen Sheng smiled: "I like the feeling of taking care of you, you are the most knowledgeable among us, taking care of you, let me feel that I am better than you." ”

Chen Yuan smiled when he heard this, and put his arm around Chen Sheng's shoulder: "Brother, you are my brother in this life, and I still want to trouble you with something." ”

Chen Sheng said very simply: "Say it, as long as I can do it." ”

Chen Yuan lowered his voice to the lowest level, only the two of them could hear it: "I have some things in Bianjing, I really can't stay for a few days, and my father doesn't want to go with me, I want to ask you to take care of them, I mean, if there is any accident, you can help me send them to Bianjing, okay?" ”

Chen Sheng patted his chest: "Just leave it to me, as long as the uncle is willing to go, I will send your family one by one immediately!" ”

Chen Yuan's hand squeezed Chen Sheng's shoulder fiercely, expressing his gratitude. Eyes swept to see a teahouse not far away, from the layout of the point of view is okay, immediately turned back to the old man and said: "Dad, there is a teahouse in front, let's enter and rest." ”

The old man likes to drink tea, this Chen Yuan knows. After saying that, he didn't wait for the old man to reply, and said to Linghua and Qin Xianglian with the two children in front: "Stop the children, come in first and eat something before going to play." ”

As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, the two children didn't need to shout at all, and one ran back faster than the other.

Chen Yuan and Chen Sheng walked in first, although the junior second inside was not as professional as the Bianjing Teahouse, but the enthusiasm was not at all, and they trotted to the door to greet them: "A few guest officers, do you want a box or a private seat?" This lobby is also very spacious, and if you look at where it is appropriate, the villain will go and set a table for you. ”

Chen Yuanzheng wanted to say that he wanted a box, but then he thought that there were no outsiders, so why spend that money? There are only two tables of guests in the whole lobby, two people at one table, and it seems that they are passing by here, and there is a salute next to them. Another table of four people.

He pointed to a table on the edge of the lobby: "Just there, bring me a good pot of tea, and bring me a few plates of your best snacks." ”

Xiao Er diligently wiped the table with the rag on his shoulder: "Hey, a few guest officers wait a minute, they will come soon." ”

Tea in the Song Dynasty has been more than a drink, with the development of culture, tea drinking, has become a fashion symbol of the Song Dynasty. And as the surrounding countries were following the example of the Great Song Dynasty, the tea culture was also widely spread.

Even in this small county, serving tea is also quite exquisite, and the procedures are much more than those in Bianjing. The confectionery is delicious, too.

After Xiao Er got everything in order, he said, "Do you want to find a singer for a few guest officers?" ”

Chen Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, drinking tea and eating snacks while listening to the lady who sang two paragraphs, which was already a very luxurious enjoyment at this time. Just as he was about to agree, Chen Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need. ”

Xiao Er bowed down and retreated: "If the guest officer has any other orders, just greet the villain." ”

Chen Sheng came to Chen Yuan's side after Xiao Er retreated: "You won't be so stingy, right?" Invite me to a cup of tea and not even a song? ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, this is really not a matter of money, when Xiao Er said that sentence just now, Xiao Xue's eyes suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and those eyes were still so clear. He didn't explain it to Chen Sheng, because he couldn't describe that kind of look, really, only when you see it, can you understand the meaning in that look.

The two children did not have the slightest interest in tea, but the snacks on the table were their favorites, and in the blink of an eye, a plate of bean curd cake was at the bottom, and when there was the last piece, two little hands pressed it at the same time.

Chen Chunmei is older and has fast hands. When Brother Chen Dong was still looking around to see which adult to support him, she had already snatched the whole piece of bean curd cake.

Brother Chen Dong, who reacted, immediately quit, he didn't care about the occasion, he opened his mouth and cried: "Mother, mother, sister snatched my things!" ”

When Qin Xianglian reached out to grab it, Chen Chunmei had already put the bean curd cake in her mouth, and said while eating: "Who said it was his?" I got it first! ”

Brother Chen Dong cried even more, and as soon as his ass dragged to the ground, he was about to let go. This trick has always been his killer move.

Chen Yuan knew that the teahouse was not as good as the wine shop, and he paid attention to quietness, and seeing that the eyes of the guests at the two tables were over, he immediately said to Brother Chen Dong very seriously: "Don't cry!" ”

Then he stood up and clasped his fist at the two tables to apologize. Then he called Xiao Er to come, and asked for two more plates of bean curd cake, and Brother Chen Dong stopped crying.

After Chen Yuan sat down, he pointed at Brother Chen Dong: "Brother Dong, listen well, no matter what you want in the future, tell your father well." If you cry again, Daddy will beat you. ”

Since he came back to the present, it was the first time he had talked to a child so seriously, and he really frightened Brother Chen Dong. There was a hint of timidity on his little face, and he arched into Qin Xianglian's arms and looked at Chen Yuan and nodded.

Suddenly there was a sound of gongs and drums beating outside, and Chen Yuan turned his head to see that in the open space next to the teahouse, several performers were pulling up the scene, as if they were going to perform something.

Chen Chunmei hurriedly grabbed a few pastries and said to Linghua beside her: "Sister, I'm going to see juggling!" ”

Qin Xianglian slapped her lightly again: "It's not big, it's not small!" I've been with you to call Erniang. ”

Linghua didn't mind, took Chen Chunmei's hand, and said to Brother Dong again: "Little Brother Dong, are you going?" ”

Chen Yuan looked at Qin Xianglian: "That's it, you two take the children to take a look at the door, and I'll catch up with Chen Sheng here." ”

The old man also stood up at this time: "You guys should reminisce here, and I will also go out to have a look." ”

As soon as he spoke, the family immediately went out to watch, leaving only Chen Sheng and Chen Yuan still sitting here and continuing to drink tea.

Chen Sheng was obviously particularly curious about Chen Yuan's current situation: "Shimei, what are you doing in Bianjing?" Is it really possible to make a lot of money? ”

He asked very vulgarly, without the slightest disguise. Chen Yuan knew that only people who really regarded you as a friend would ask such a vulgar question so directly.

"Well, there's only one liquor shop now. The liquor store is currently being renovated, and another shop is about to open, so I guess it will be about the same when I get back. I am also going to get a piece of land outside Bianjing City and build a largest mountain villa. Chen Yuan said his thoughts without concealment.

This made Chen Sheng very surprised when he heard it: "You really made a lot of money?" ”

Chen Yuan glanced at him: "I told you yesterday that I brought back tens of thousands of yuan from Liaoguo, do you think I lied to you to play?" ”

Chen Sheng smiled and moved the stool a little in front of Chen Yuan: "Shimei, how about taking me to do it with you?" Counting on this little rent at home, you really can't make a fortune. ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "No problem, so be it, when my father goes to Bianjing, you will go with him." When the time comes, as long as your brother has a stutter, he will never be hungry for you. ”

The two were talking happily when they suddenly heard a noisy beating and scolding outside, and the sound of the crowd scattering around. Before Chen Yuan and the others got up and wanted to check, the old man had already pulled a child in one hand and rushed in from outside.

It's not too much to run with speed, his speed definitely makes Chen Shimei embarrassed.

Chen Yuan hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

The old man was panting, and Qin Xianglian followed up and said on the side: "That Sun wicked man is bullying people again!" ”
