"Jiuli, the guests in the ink room upstairs please go up." Guizi came down from the second floor with a tray, and went behind the counter to convey to Qi Jiuli, "It's a member of the Fang family, and a student of the Fang family's private school." ”

"Fang's private school?" Qi Jiuli was a little surprised, "What are they looking for me for?" ”

"When they saw the familiar handwriting on the sign hanging in the private room, they asked, and when they learned that your brother helped write it, they wanted to see you." Guizi said with a smile, "Jiuli, it seems that your brother is studying very well, but the one upstairs is now the favorite eldest grandson of the Fang family, Fang Shiwen, who is only sixteen this year, and he is already a child." ”

"Now is not the most important time, why don't you study in a private school and go out to eat." Qi Jiuli muttered.

"Then what is not about the combination of work and rest." Guizi smiled, "What's more, it's dinner time." ”

"Nine miles."

Qi Jiuli heard the sound and looked, Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong entered the restaurant together with their bookbags, and the guests who ate stopped to look over.

"Oops, our brother and cousin from the little account room are here to pick them up." The guest laughed and teased.

"Little account room, how do you parents raise their children, why are they so powerful, I really envy us."

"No, our family is the same age as a small account, and now he is still running around like a monkey."

……

"Seven bamboos, eight songs, it's really you."

Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong looked at the staircase on the second floor.

"Brother Shi Wen." Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong shouted.

Fang Shiwen slowly walked downstairs and patted Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong, "Let's go up and eat together, I'll be the east today." ”

"By the way, your little brother is also here, I wanted to meet just now." Fang Shiwen said and looked at Qi Jiuli behind the counter, "If you can think of such a way to settle accounts, you are worthy of Qizhu, your own brother, who is smarter than ordinary people." ”

"But why doesn't your brother study, if he does, maybe in a few years he will be a child like us." Fang Shiwen spoke with such a deluded confidence, and his eyes were pure, telling the truth in his heart.

Qi Jiuli's first impression of Fang Shiwen, who looked like a creamy student, was not bad, and it was no wonder that his brother and eighth cousin were quite genuine in their smiles.

"Brother Fang is good." Qi Jiuli shouted with a smile, "Brother Fang doesn't know, this person's talent is always in different places, although I think I am more talented than others, but this study is not possible." ”

Qi Jiuli said seriously, she actually thinks so, although she has experienced the baptism of nine years of compulsory education, the hard work of high school, and various practices in college, but these have nothing to do with the ancient imperial examination.

Let her read classical Chinese from the beginning, study the Four Books and Five Classics, etc., and get dizzy when she looks at it, of course, the most important thing is that she is a woman, and she is destined to miss the imperial examination.

"What's more, there are already elder brothers at home who are studying, I do something that I am good at, and it is good to contribute to the family, and I have a specialization in the art industry." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"There is a specialization in the art industry, Qizhu, your younger brother is terrible, he has such a cognition at such a young age." Fang Shiwen was very happy, and patted Qi Qizhu's shoulder again and again.

Qi Qizhu smiled helplessly, "Brother Shi Wen, you guys go and eat, let's go home and eat later, there are still younger brothers and sisters waiting for us to go back." ”

Fang Shiwen knew the situation at Qi Qizhu's house, and he didn't force it, so he let the person go and went to the second floor by himself, but turned his head and said, "I want the little brother Jiuli to settle the account for me, we have ordered the meal now, let's help calculate it first." ”

Qi Jiuli smiled and followed upstairs to settle the account.

Reckoning is true, but the most important thing is to chat, Fang Shiwen looked at Wen Jing and delicate, but a mouth really won't stop, Qi Jiuli looked at the mouth that kept opening and closing on the other side, a little weak, this person is a talker.

"Jiuli, I've always thought your name was very good."

"Your brother is no more boring person, but you look different, you are better."

"Jiuli, although your brother is boring, he reads really well, his brain is alive, and he will definitely be terrible in the future, I didn't say this, my grandfather said it."

……

"Cousin, you eat, come and try this." A young man who looked at Fang Shiwen was about the same age, sitting next to Fang Shiwen, and he tried his best to pick up vegetables, but he still couldn't stop his cousin's mouth.

"Cousin, Renjiuli is about to go back, if you don't give people a chance to speak, I don't know when this account will be settled today." The young man reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes, Jiuli, you do the math." Fang Shiwen came back to his senses, a little embarrassed.

Qi Jiuli glanced at the sign on the table, and sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being the eldest grandson of the Fang family, this pocket is relatively heavy, a table of six peers, ordered twelve dishes, including five hard dishes, "one two and thirty wen." ”

Fang Shiwen directly reached out and took the purse, took out a silver horn from it, and counted thirty wen, but it was not over, Fang Shiwen looked at his whole body, and finally could only take out the purse, take a closer look at it, take out some silver money, and then handed the purse to Qi Jiuli, "Jiuli, give, this is the food money, this is for you." ”

Fang Shiwen squeezed his eyebrows at Qi Jiuli.

Tip, Qi Jiuli didn't expect that she would also be able to collect tips, "Thank you, Brother Fang, but isn't it too much." ”

Qi Jiuli didn't feel very heavy when he got the purse, but the shape was very clear, it was not a copper coin, it was a silver coin.

There are also people who tip in restaurants, of course, in ancient times, it was not called a tip, it was called a tip.

This kind of reward Qi Jiuli accepted very quickly, just kidding, who would have trouble with money, plus she is now short of money, someone sends money, such a good thing, a fool will push, but in front of him is his brother's classmate, and he feels a little empty when he takes too much.

"Not much." Fang Shiwen smiled and squinted his eyes and said, "This is a meeting gift for you, no matter how I say it, it is also your big brother Fang." ”

Qi Jiuli was a little surprised, "Meet the gift? ”

"Yes, the greeting ceremony cannot be shirked, otherwise it is impolite." Fang Shiwen nodded and said.

Qi Jiuli was a little hesitant, if it was a reward, then accept it, but the meeting gift, that is the gift, the gift is about the exchange of gifts, she has accepted it now, and her brother will also have to return it in the future, Qi Jiuli suddenly felt that the purse was a little hot.

"I didn't expect to see Qizhu's younger brother, and I didn't bring anything with me, so I could only use this emergency, and the elders in the family also gave it this way." Fang Shiwen explained.

"Thank you, Brother Fang." It is impossible for Qi Jiuli to refuse the greeting in person, just like Fang Shiwen said, it is rude, and it is sincere to look at him, so next time I really want to exchange gifts, and then it is not bad to give something that I can give as a reward.
