[Chapter Word Count:3155Last Updated:2015-04-1420:25:04.0]
After leaving the tavern, Qin Baichuan couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, if the ideas he just came up with could be implemented one by one, then he, Qin Baichuan, was likely to create a business legend in this era! Can't wait to share the joy in his heart with others, Qin Baichuan walked like a fly, and in the blink of an eye, he left behind the prosperity on both sides of Jiangling, and turned around and entered a deep alley.
According to the architectural style of the modern city, the two sides of Gangneung belong to the suburbs of the entertainment venues, and ten miles to the south is the main city of Gangneung, where the eunuchs, landlords, and merchants gather, and the alley he flashed into was a gathering place for the poor people.
The alleys are deep and narrow, and there are many thatched huts on both sides, where are the poor people willing to light the lamps, so it is just night, most of the families have already slept, and from time to time there is the howl of wild cats and the cry of children, which is slightly eerie and terrifying.
When he walked to the door of Daddy Xu's house, a woman's graceful figure vaguely appeared in Qin Baichuan's sight. Qin Baichuan could see clearly through the moonlight, the woman was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with curved willow eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, or because the weather was a little cold, she held her shoulders with both hands, a small face without powder was full of nervousness and anxiety, and her pure eyes looked at the entrance of the alley from time to time.
"Big brother, are you back?" The woman also noticed Qin Baichuan, but she didn't dare to confirm it in her heart, and asked timidly.
This woman is Xu Xiu, the only daughter of Xu's father, when she came to this world, she suffered great physical and psychological damage, and it was Xu Xiu's patient companionship that helped him get through the most difficult days.
After approaching, he saw that Xu Xiuxiao's face was slightly pale, and his shoulders trembled slightly, Qin Baichuan's enthusiasm suddenly dissipated, and he said reproachfully: "Xiu'er, why don't you stay in the house so late?" If you are also sick, who will take care of Daddy Xu at home? ”
Xu Xiu wore a cloth dress that had already been washed white, although it was shabby, it was well cut, and her slender and soft figure was perfectly highlighted, and there was a feeling of jasper in a small family in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Big Brother ......" confirmed Qin Baichuan's identity, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but hearing his stern tone, Xu Xiu's little face was full of tears, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry...... Brother Qin......"
"Hey, you girl, you don't know how to cherish yourself at all." In modern times, this Xu Xiu is the age of his first year of high school, and it is too young to be his sister. Seeing that the little girl's face was full of grievances, Qin Baichuan's heart softened, and his tone was gentle: "Big brother didn't mean it, okay if you don't get angry?" ”
"No, no, I know that my eldest brother is for my good!" Xu Xiu's little head shook like a rattle, and argued loudly.
"Today, Sister Lan gave me a good fortune, I returned the medicine money, and I brought you delicious food back." Qin Baichuan shook the wine and meat in his hand.
"I know that big brother, you are the most capable." Xu Xiu didn't seem to have much interest in the fragrant wine and meat, looked at Qin Baichuan, and stopped talking.
"You girl, when did you learn to hide and tuck?" This girl is a little distressed, Qin Baichuan grabbed Xu Xiu's little hand and said, "Let's go, let's talk about it while we walk." ”
"Big brother, you ...... Let it go...... "In this era, etiquette and religion are guarded, men and women are not kissed, Qin Baichuan's action made Xu Xiu's face flush, and her slender delicate body trembled slightly. I wanted to withdraw it from my eldest brother's hand, but his hand was dry and strong, and she was a little reluctant, and said weakly: "If I am looked at by others, I can't wash it when I jump into the Yellow River!" ”
"You're my sister, what can others do when they see it?" Qin Baichuan really liked this soft and weak little sister, and pulled her to ask as he walked: "You haven't told me yet, don't stay in the room and blow the river breeze here?" ”
"Big brother, it's not what you think." Xu Xiu's palms were sweating, as if a deer was bumping into her heart, and the blood in her body seemed to have accelerated her flow, and she felt like she couldn't hug her eldest brother. Taking a deep breath to suppress the strange impulse, he said, "I had already prepared dinner, but I didn't see you come back for a long time, so I looked at the door." ”
Xu Xiu looked up at Qin Baichuan and saw that the eldest brother was not angry, so he continued: "Later, I heard from the neighbors who came back from the banks of the Jiangling River, eldest brother, that you had a conflict with the talented man...... I was afraid that you would be hurt, and I wanted to go to Wangjiang Tower to find you, but I was worried that I would cause you trouble in the past, so I had to stand here stupidly and wait...... I've thought about it, if you don't come back, I'll go to those talented people and work hard! ”
Qin Baichuan's heart warmed, and it was good to have someone who cared.
"Big brother, am I so stupid?" Xu Xiu asked nervously.
"Don't be stupid, you're the most beautiful, gentle, and intelligent woman I've ever met." Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "It's just that you are too young, otherwise I would be scolded by Daddy Xu desperately, and I would have to propose to him." ”
Xu Xiu's whole body instantly stiffened, is the eldest brother hinting at something to himself? Seeing that Qin Baichuan had no follow-up, Xu Xiu bit her red lip and said, "I'm sixteen years old this year, not too young!" The law stipulates that except for the women in the Qinglou, the daughter's family will be married at the age of sixteen, and if there is no family after the age of nineteen, then she will be dragged to prison! ”
"Yo, do you mean you're in a hurry to get married?" Qin Baichuan squeezed Xu Xiu's little hand and said with a smile.
"Big brother, you will bully me!" Xu Xiu glared at Qin Baichuan with shame and annoyance, after being in contact for so long, this eldest brother's knowledge and insight had already completely conquered her, but this person seemed to be a fool, even his father could see it, but he didn't understand his own careful thoughts.
How could Qin Baichuan not understand? It's just that his actual age is already twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and he will be three soon, if he finds a sixteen-year-old girl as his wife, how can he think about this thing and feel weird. Simply, Qin Baichuan simply pretended to be confused, changed the topic, and said, "Xiu'er, there is something you have to listen to the eldest brother." ”
"Am I still disobedient?" Xu Xiu pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly.
"Listen, so you have to listen to this matter too." Walking to the door of Father Xu's house, Qin Baichuan said with a straight face: "With my character, I will encounter a lot of things in the future and offend many people, but no matter what happens to me outside, all you have to do is to calm down and believe that the eldest brother can handle it." I don't want to come back and see you sick or do something stupid. ”
"Big brother, do you think I'm useless?" Xu Xiu's face was anxious: "What if someone else bullies you and hurts you?" I know I'm stupid and can't do anything for you, but I can share it with you! At least, you won't be that tired! ”
Qin Baichuan almost cried, this girl, when she talks about love, she wants to die!
"Don't worry!" Pulling Xu Xiu to push open the dilapidated door of Daddy Xu's house, Qin Baichuan was full of confidence: "Here, the people who want to bully me and hurt me haven't been born yet." ”
"Big Brother ......"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xu Xiu wanted to argue a few words, but Daddy Xu's rapid coughing sound sounded in the courtyard.
"Dad, why did you come out too!" Holding hands with the eldest brother and being caught by his father, Xu Xiu was a little panicked, struggled to pull out his hand, and said with a short breath.
"It's dark and blind, my daughter goes out alone, and it's wrong for me to come out and see it with me?" Father Xu pretended to sigh and said: "They all say that their daughter is extroverted, it seems that this is not false at all, hey......"
"Dad, big brother is not an outsider!" Xu Xiu's face burned like fire, and she peeked at Qin Baichuan.
"Daddy Xu, how are you feeling today?" It was nothing more than the action of pulling a small hand, Qin Baichuan didn't take this matter to heart at all, and raised the wine and meat in his hand: "Do you still have the strength, let's have two glasses of drink?" ”
Father Xu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiao Qin, is it a good day to make a profit?" How much? ”
"Ten taels." In the final analysis, Daddy Xu is a low-level person who tells stories and mixes rice, and naturally attaches great importance to silver.
"My good man, ten taels of silver!" Daddy Xu's voice was full of horror.
He said that he had been reading all his life, and when he was lucky, he would earn three taels of silver a month, and if he was unlucky, he wouldn't even have one tael of silver left. But this Qin Baichuan is good, he has just made a name for himself in Jiangling, and he actually earned ten taels of silver in a month, and he can't earn so much in three months!
"Dad, there's nothing strange about that." Xu Xiu pursed her lips and said: "The eldest brother has a huge framework and ingenious conception of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", plus the big brother tells the ups and downs of the story with a sharp mouth, which is much better than your set!" Everyone is happy to listen to it, and there will naturally be more rewards! ”
"Daddy is indeed an old man......" Daddy Xu's voice sounded sour.
"Only fifty years old, not old." Qin Baichuan didn't have much respect for the old and the young, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and adjust your body, and then go find a half-old MILF, maybe you can add a younger brother to Xiu'er." ”
"Poof!" Xu Xiu couldn't help laughing, this big brother is really, he dares to say anything.
"You kid, it's getting bigger and smaller!" Father Xu's face turned red, and he said hatefully: "Xiao Qin, I can sue you, I am such a precious girl as Xiu'er, you have to treat her well in the future." Otherwise, even if you climb out of the coffin, I won't let you go! ”
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Father Xu's words obviously meant to entrust himself to his eldest brother, where did Xu Xiu dare to continue to stay, and ran into the house with his little face covered.
"This kid is shy at this time!" Father Xu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, you young people's business, I, a bad old man, don't worry about snacks." Xiao Qin, didn't you just say that you wanted to have a good drink with me? Walk around, go into the house and say, come into the house and say. ”
In the room, Xu Xiu had already lit the oil lamp, and the dim light reflected her bright red face, adding a lot of delicate colors to her. When Qin Baichuan and Father Xu entered the house, they didn't know what the little girl thought, and with a sweet smile on their faces, they were a little crazy with joy.
"Girl, girl!" Father Xu shouted a few times, Xu Xiucai came back to his senses, hurriedly stood up, and stammered: "Dad, you ...... You guys...... Why did they all come in? ”
