followed Aunt Hu into the courtyard, but saw that the flowers were blooming beautifully, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers lingering around, which really had the interest of a paradise. Qin Baichuan raised his head, the decoration of the attic in front of him was exquisite and elegant, beautiful, and the word Xiaozhu seemed a little unworthy of the identity of the attic.

"Aunt Hu, there's something I want to ask you." Qin Baichuan stopped at the door and said in a low voice, "Miss Qu's parents also live here?" ”

"Qin Xianggong is really different, they have already become relatives, why do you still call her 'Miss'?" Aunt Hu didn't seem to know that there was some complicated relationship between Qu Xi and Qin Baichuan, she looked at him strangely and said, "Didn't Miss tell you anything?" ”

"She has too many things to talk about yet." Qin Baichuan had a fever on his face, and he was all pro, but he didn't know anything about his mother.

"Hey, since Miss didn't tell you, I'm not supposed to talk too much." Aunt Hu sighed, with a little sadness in her eyes: "As early as ten years ago, Miss's parents both passed away, and I have been growing up with the dead old ghost taking care of Miss for so many years...... No, after so many years, the family business left by the young lady's father has not declined, but is thriving, and her parents should also be blinded...... Hey, it's just bitter miss......"

She ...... An orphan? Qin Baichuan's face trembled violently, in modern society, with government welfare help, it is still difficult for orphans to survive, let alone praise the inferiority of men and women. I think she has suffered a lot over the years, otherwise she wouldn't have been that cold temperament.

"Aunt Hu, Qu Xi...... Oh, is it possible that my mother's family is in business? Qin Baichuan was very curious about Quxi's origin.

"Qin Xianggong, don't embarrass me!" Aunt Hu shook her head and said, "When it's time to sue you, Miss will naturally sue you, if the old woman talks too much, and Miss knows about it, she will definitely be so angry that she won't be able to eat for a few days!" Let's sit down and talk slowly. ”

Aunt Hu enthusiastically pulled Qin Baichuan into the pavilion, pressed him on the chair without saying anything, and said with a smile: "Xianggong Qin, you sit down and rest for a while, and the old woman will go and heat the food and bring it out immediately." ”

Aunt Hu put on her apron and trotted into the kitchen, and after a while, she walked out with a few stacks of delicate dishes. Aunt Hu brought him rice, and Qin Baichuan was not polite, gobbling it up, and cleaning the table full of meals like a whirlwind.

"Aunt Hu, I've never eaten anything so delicious." Qin Baichuan gave a long burp, which was not a deliberate compliment, in fact, Daddy Xu's family had coarse tea and light rice all day long, and he usually didn't see a little meat at all.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Baichuan noticed that the rice placed in front of Aunt Hu had not moved, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed with his face, scratching his head and saying, "Aunt Hu...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I forgot you haven't eaten yet......"

"The old woman was afraid that you would be embarrassed and deliberately accompanied you, so why should you apologize?" Aunt Hu laughed on the spot: "I said how Miss likes you, now I finally understand a little." Over the years, there have been many men around Miss, all of them are cautious, deliberately showing the best side to Miss, even eating a meal is a small bite and swallowing slowly, like a woman! ”

Aunt Hu's words were full of disdain for those men, but she smiled at Qin Baichuan and said: "It's Qin Xianggong, do whatever you want, this is frankness!" ”

This Aunt Hu is bold by nature, but it made Qin Baichuan have a lot of good feelings, and she looked around and said, "Aunt Hu, so you and my wife live here?" ”

"Counting the dead old ghosts, there are three people in total. However, the dead old ghost has to help the young lady catch the car, and he is busy outside every day, and he is usually the old woman alone. Aunt Hu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, Miss has been running around for so many years, and the old woman is distressed when she looks at it." Now that Qin Xianggong has become a relative to Miss, he must be able to bear some of it for her. ”

Qin Baichuan grinned, Aunt Hu's idea was good, and even Qin Baichuan herself wanted to share some of it for her and come up with ideas, but with that girl's temperament, she wouldn't take herself to heart at all.

Seeing that Qin Baichuan was silent, Aunt Hu hurriedly stood up and said with self-reproach: "I forgot, I'm afraid Qin Xianggong is tired, right?" Let's go, I'll take you upstairs to rest. Hey, the young lady said that you are going to participate in the imperial examination to be held in two years, and said that during this time, you should focus on reading, so I specially asked me to clean up the study and add a bed to the prime minister. ”

"She said I was going to take the imperial examination?" Qin Baichuan smiled.

"yes. The young lady said that Xianggong was full of talent, and it was a pity not to participate in the imperial examination. No, the young lady told me to buy a lot of books in the morning, and if the husband felt that it was not enough to read, he told the old woman, and I would help you buy them immediately. Aunt Hu's eyes flashed with expectation: "If only Xianggong could go to high school in one fell swoop, then neither inside nor outside the family would dare to bully Miss." ”

"Bullying her?" Qin Baichuan frowned.

"Bah, the old woman said the wrong thing!" Aunt Hu obviously had a lot of taboos, so she kept her mouth shut and said with a smile: "Let's go, Xianggong Qin, I'll take you to rest." ”

"No need." I can't ask anything from Aunt Hu's mouth, Qin Baichuan is not strong, anyway, with the gradual deepening of contact, he will naturally understand. Standing up from the stool, Qin Baichuan looked at the sky and said, "Aunt Hu, you are busy first, I have some things to deal with on both sides of Jiangling." ”

"Is Qin Xianggong going to move?" Aunt Hu took out a wooden plaque carved with a delicate lotus flower from her body, handed it to Qin Baichuan and said, "Xianggong takes this token to the post station, and you can rent a carriage there." When the time comes, the minister will sign his name, and at the end of the month, the lady will settle the money together. ”

"Bus card?" Qin Baichuan smiled, his cheap wife was a little colder, but she was also cautious in doing things, and took everything into account for herself.

did not explain the meaning of the bus card to Aunt Hu, and after taking the token to thank him, he went out of the attic. The main means of transportation in Dasong is the carriage, so it is known as the saying that there is a station in five miles and ten miles, Qin Baichuan left Wanhua Xiaozhu and walked about two or three miles, and a temporary post station appeared in front of him.

went in and greeted the fellow at the post station, showed a token, and the guy arranged the most common carriage for Qin Baichuan. Qin Baichuan slept comfortably in the car, and when he woke up, he saw the signboard of the big bowl Wangjiang Tower.

After making an appointment with the guy to come and pick him up in the evening, Qin Baichuan straightened his clothes and walked into the teahouse unhurriedly. At this time, it was about half past three in the afternoon, and there were already many peddlers and pawns waiting there, loudly discussing the follow-up plot of "Condor".

"That's ...... Mr. Qin? Some people have already seen Qin Baichuan with sharp eyes, but today's Qin Baichuan is dressed luxuriously, and he found that his tone was actually a little suspicious.

"Sure enough, it's Mr. Qin!" Seeing Qin Baichuan smiling and nodding to them, the person who spoke was suddenly overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "I'll just say, Mr. Qin is the dragon and phoenix among that people!" Haha, after changing his clothes, he has already compared to those bullshit talents in Gangneung City! ”

"Haha, Mr. Qin, you are really Chrysostom!" The shopkeeper Lu of the Linjiang Tavern also crowded into the crowd and said loudly: "After I went back yesterday, the guests of my Linjiang Tavern have increased by three percent than usual!" I have already ordered someone to 'drink Linjiang Jindan sake, and take advantage of the excitement to find flowers and ask willows' This couplet hangs high on the lintel, when will Mr. Qin be free to teach again! ”

"Shopkeeper Lu is really good! Only a few catties of beef were exchanged for Mr. Qin's naming rights...... I'm good, I paid a full ten taels of silver, but I can't even rank the number! A shopkeeper said with a sigh.

"If you want me to say, this matter is that Mr. Qin is not authentic! That Chu Xuan Chu Gongzi is already Mr. Apprentice, why do you want to compete with us for naming rights? This time, as much silver as we give, he will give ten taels more, isn't this a chance to steal the limelight from us? Someone next to him said indignantly.

"Yes, Mr. Qin, we have been supporting you since you started talking about "Condor", and we have to come first to grab the naming right! It's better for you to let your would-be apprentices go around to publicize the naming rights, and those Qinglou wine shops in the main city have sent people to come over to grab business! ”

Seeing that these regulars were expressing their dissatisfaction because of the naming rights, Qin Baichuan's heart moved slightly, it seems that Sister Lan and Chu Xuan are operating well, and they have already sent people out to solicit sponsorship This is. Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, Qin Baichuan hugged his fist at the guest: "What you said makes sense, wait for me to go upstairs to ask about the situation, and then give you an answer." In order to express your love for naming rights, I can't say it, today Qin someone has to say more! ”

It was indeed a little depressing not to grab the naming right, but he didn't lose any money, and he could let Mr. Qin say a little more, and everyone's feelings quickly subsided, and Qin Baichuan went upstairs.

"Brother Qin!" Hearing the noise downstairs, Chu Xuan, Sister Lan and Father Xu came out of the box one after another, and saw Qin Baichuan wearing a scholar's outfit and suave, Chu Xuan immediately raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Brother Qin, sure enough, it is this dress that can bring out your temperament!" ”

Sister Lan's beautiful eyes also flashed with a strange color, but she didn't speak to him, just nodded slightly, and her eyes were a little shy and a little dodgy. But Father Xu grinned vigorously: "Xiao Qin, we are ordinary storytellers, why do we wear such good clothes?" Hey, how much silver does this cost......"

"There's not much silver, it's someone else." Qin Baichuan comforted Father Xu, and immediately changed the topic: "What progress have you made in the things I explained?" Chu Xuan, didn't I already say it yesterday, before I completed the agreement with the boy in white, my naming rights were aimed at the pawns of the peddlers and the low-end market, why did you still come out to join in the fun? ”

"Brother Qin, I don't want to, I was forced!" Chu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
