Chapter 51: Gu Xiucai
"Girl, why didn't you call us when you came out?" The three little girls came in from the front door, looked at Lin Qianxun who was busy in the back kitchen, and spoke very guiltily.
"I slept a lot, you slept less, so I'll let you sleep a little longer, and since you're rested, hurry up and help, and there will be diners coming in half an hour." Lin Qianxun said simply, and then beckoned them to help quickly, the three maids had a clear division of labor, cleaning the restaurant, boiling water, and when the first diner entered the door, they cleaned up the Lilisuo.
"What do you want to eat?" Lin Qianxun had time to rest, and when he took the time to breathe, he found that a young man had entered the restaurant with a cramped face.
"Two buns, a bowl of rice porridge." He had a thin nymph sound, if it weren't for Lin Qianxun's good ears, I'm afraid he would have to ask again.
"Okay, wait a minute. Lan Ya brought this son two buns and a bowl of white porridge. Lin Qianxun got up, and then shouted inside with a smile.
Just as Lan Ya's words fell, the young boy spoke.
"The proprietress Xiaosheng has a reluctant request, I wonder if the proprietress can agree?" When he said this, his face turned red.
"Please say, as long as the little girl can help, she will help, Childe, please speak." Lin Qianxun's steps paused, then turned around calmly, turned around and walked forward with a smile.
"Xiaosheng has a little sister in the family, about fourteen years old, because the family for Xiaosheng to study, spent all the family's savings, the little sister has reached the age of kissing, but unfortunately there is no extra silver at home to buy a dowry, Xiaosheng heard yesterday that the boss lady is a good person with a good heart, Xiaosheng does not have too many requirements, I only hope that the boss lady can hire her sister to serve tea in the restaurant, sweep the floor, and earn some dowry." When the young man finished speaking, his ashamed head bowed his head and went under the table.
Lin Qianxun looked at the man carefully when he spoke, and found that there was a patch on her shirt, and there was a calloon on her right hand, it seemed that his family was really poor, although she didn't know the specific reason, she also knew that a man was looking for her, which was not easy.
"But, bring it and see it." Lin Qianxun agreed.
"Thank you, lady." The man got up and thanked Lin Qianxun.
"Don't be so polite, anyway, you rely on your own ability to make money, bring me to see, if your hands and feet are flexible, there is work in your eyes, I give more monthly money, and from time to time you have to give some rewards, if you are stupid, the monthly money is less, Childe is a reader, and you don't have to think that you only read sage books, often go down to the ground, it is also conducive to the accumulation of knowledge of Childe, as the saying goes, reading thousands of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, travel thousands of miles, not as good as a famous teacher to guide the way." Seeing him like this, Lin Qianxun still opened his mouth to persuade.
"Xiaosheng wrote it down." The man shyly raised his head and glanced at Lin Qianxun, and then quickly shifted his gaze to the side to relieve his embarrassment and shyness.
Lan Ya put breakfast on the table, the scholar simply drank white porridge, packed the rest of the buns, paid the copper plate and left.
Looking at his distant back, Lan Ya asked in surprise.
"Girl, isn't this Gu Xiucai?"
"You know?" Lin Qianxun turned his head and looked at Lan Ya who was extremely calm on the side with a surprised gaze.
"I've heard it before, Gu Xiucai is a famous filial son in Guanshan, his father was unfortunately killed when he was four years old, and then only one mother pulled their brothers and sisters, and the life was miserable, but Gu Xiucai is not like other scholars, he is tall and cold, he is gentle and filial, generous and kind, from time to time to write letters for others, subsidize the family, I heard that the gentleman in the private school takes a fancy to his character, and will also give him the opportunity to study diligently, and they have survived like this all these years" Lan Ya slowly recounted.
At this time, one after another diners entered the restaurant, and naturally ordered their favorite food, and when they heard the two talking about Gu Xiucai, someone couldn't help but speak
"This girl is not bad, Gu Xiucai is a dutiful son, often hungry to support his mother and sister, and from time to time he goes to the bookstore to copy manuscripts, or help his classmates write letters. He's a good boy."
"The temperament is really good, and in time it will definitely make a difference, and if you suffer hardship, you will be a superior person." Lin Qianxun smiled and agreed.
"It's still the proprietress who is talented, and the export is a chapter." Someone chimed in.
People always have an inexplicable envy and curiosity about beautiful food, so they are more tolerant of the beautiful Lin Qianxun. Lin Qianxun accepted it with a smile.
A busy morning passed, Lin Qianxun sat behind the cash register, counted the account books, roughly counted down, which added up to another hundred taels, seeing such a good harvest, she smiled happily and put the silver money into the cloth bag, and then continued to use the pen to write down the expenses one by one, as well as the income, probably after subtracting, she found that she earned a lot, she was full of smiles.
"Boss lady, Xiaosheng takes her sister to let the boss lady look at each other." At this moment, a crisp voice sounded overhead, and then Lin Qianxun looked overhead, only to see two people standing at the door, one high and one low, both of them were lightly thin, but their appearance was very outstanding, and when she saw Gu Xiucai in the morning, she hurriedly got up.
"Come in and sit down, Lan Ya pour a glass of water." Lin Qianxun shouted at the back kitchen while laughing.
"Here comes the girl." Lan Ya's smiling voice came from the back kitchen, and it didn't take long to see Lan Ya, who was wearing a light green dress, came to the front hall with a smile, and then put the teapot in front of the two, and then brought the water for them.
"Slow down." She laughs.
"This is your sister?" Lin Qianxun looked at the pink-clothed woman with bright eyes and no stage fright.
Instead, the little girl answered for her brother.
"Back to the boss's wife, the little woman called Gu Mingmei and wanted to find an errand to subsidize the family." The little girl's voice was cheerful and clear, and seeing her appearance, Lin Qianxun knew that she was a master who did not suffer losses, so she smiled and took a sip of the teacup.
"Oh, I don't know what Miss Gu will write?" Lin Qianxun didn't mind the little girl being bold and speaking straightforwardly, she just needed such a person, although it was less money for Leng Yan to buy a maid, but what should be hired still had to be hired, and since there was a shortage of manpower at the moment, she accepted it.
"Laundry, cooking, literacy, as long as the proprietress wants, I will do it." Gu Mingmei replied very confidently, such an aura made Gu Xiucai on the side very embarrassed, and he blushed and said.
"My sister has a quick mouth, but she doesn't have any bad intentions."
"It doesn't matter, I take care of the girl's lively temperament, sharp mouth, and literacy, if she just came, I can't let her be the foreman directly, just start from the grassroots level, I have a one-month probationary period, I will keep it if I do a good job, if I don't do a good job, I will also unceremoniously dismiss Miss Gu, as for the monthly money probationary period, I will first give fifty Wen, if I can pass the adaptation period, I will increase the silver money, and I will also write it clearly in black and white, and I will not let you suffer." Lin Qianxun is also a businessman, and she must be able to help others, so she has to be principled, if she is soft-hearted, she will become a welfare home here.
"Thank you lady, I won't let the lady down." The little girl's eyes were bright, as if she had taken part-time money for the first time, she said with a smile.
"I'll wait and see, Lan Ya will wrap a few buns for Gu Xiucai, and then take some braised pork, just as I have a little heart, in the future, if I write a word and draw a picture, I will bother Gu Xiucai to help." Lin Qianxun also knew that giving things to others directly would embarrass him, so he thought of a reason to keep someone's self-esteem in a reasonable way.
Gu Xiucai nodded gratefully, and Gu Mingmei couldn't help but secretly wipe her tears, there are always ups and downs in a person's life, and suffering, but when someone reaches out to pull a hand when it is difficult, it will make people feel that there is still warmth in this world.
Lan Ya handed over the things with her hands and feet, and the two brothers and sisters thanked them many times before they were willing to leave.
"This person is not simple." Lin Qianxun looked at the thin back and muttered.
Time flew away quickly, and it was night all of a sudden, and when he sat at home again, when Lin Qianxun burned his feet, he sat on the edge of the bed, remembered today's events, and said coldly to the side reading the military book.
"Ah Feng, I met a showman today."
"Huh?" Leng Chopping Wind sent out a trace of curiosity from his nose curiously, but his eyes were fixed on the military book.
"It's a filial son, he lost his father since he was a child, he raised his mother and sister alone, he copied books and wrote letters for others, and today he came to the restaurant to ask me for help, and gave his sister an errand, and I agreed." Lin Qianxun said calmly.
Leng Chopfeng said with a smile.
"Xun'er told me this, did he want me to help him?"
"No, I just think that Daqi needs such a talent who can endure hardships, he endured hardships in his early years, and when he became an official, he knew the suffering of the people, I mean, let people pay attention to him, examine his character, if it is really as true as people say, we will include him in the wings, if it is in vain, Ah Feng will not care about him, anyway, there is no loss." The ancient recommendation system was very prosperous, and many of them were recommended by the nobles, a court used the words of those people, and sooner or later it was over, since the invention of the imperial examination system, it shows that it has its own reason, so in order not to let the real talents be squeezed out, the necessary connections are very important, like those famous poets in the Tang Dynasty, not all of them.
"I made a note, you went to bed early today?" Leng Chufeng glanced at the sky outside, it was almost the same as yesterday, and at this point Lin Qianxun went to bed early.
"I'm going to sleep, just wash my feet, Ah Feng will be here tonight..."Lin Qianxun was in a good mood, looking at the cold wind under the lamp, half of her face was reflected in the candlelight, which looked even better, she couldn't help but be stunned, this heart was a little rippling, and then she spoke.
"How?" The book of war in Leng Shufeng's hand felt that it was a bit of an eyesore at the moment, and he pretended to be calm and turned his head to look at Lin Qianxun who had flushed cheeks.
"Ah Feng, I miss you." Lin Qianxun put a word on his lips, and then quickly changed his words.
Leng Qianxun's eyes were soaked with stars, and there were still a few wisps of Lin Qianxun's familiar heat, his throat moved slightly, and then he put down the military book, got up and came to the bedside, in Lin Qianxun's expectant eyes, he bullied up, reached out and clasped the back of Lin Qianxun's head, and then lowered his head and kissed it.
Leng Chopfeng's character is the same as its kiss Domineering with a bit of possession, he used to take the initiative, but this time it was different, he was gentle and obedient, Lin Qianxun's hands were pulling his clothes indiscriminately, the more anxious people were, the easier it was to have problems, but the brain was crisp and numb, and the consciousness was almost gone, Leng Chopfeng saw that Lin Qianxun was so eager, he freed his hand, removed the clothes of the flip, and then rolled and changed positions.
"Why are you like this tonight?" Leng Shufeng stared at those smiling eyes, with a shy face, very different from her before.
"Moved by love, you and I are both adults, and if we can take responsibility for the future, naturally I will take the initiative." Lin Qianxun is not an ungrateful person, and besides, people who have the ability to support themselves are not controlled by others, so she feels that there is no reason for those distorted remarks.
After all, many of them are incapable, and they have to do things beyond their ability, isn't this just to increase their troubles and harm the children and themselves at the same time, if she doesn't have the ability to do it, she naturally won't be so impulsive, but on the contrary, she has.
"You're crooked." Leng Chofeng helplessly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, and in the end, it was naturally a beautiful scene.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxun was covered in sweat, and then said lazily.
"Ah Feng, what would happen to you if I left one day?" Lin Qianxun didn't know how to suddenly have such a picture in her mind, she was pregnant with Liujia, standing in a strange environment, surrounded by beautiful Gesang flowers, as well as gurgling water, and many fat and strong people galloping in the wilderness, looking up to the sky from time to time to make a pleasant hissing sound.
Lin Qianxun had never asked such a question, and Leng Chufeng was often worried, he was originally very panicked, but then somehow suddenly calmed down a lot.
"If you leave, it means that we have no fate, and I won't go to you, if you meet someone who loves you, then live a good life, if we have the opportunity to see you again, I will definitely look at you from afar, and know that you are doing well." Leng Chopping Wind said calmly, but Lin Qianxun didn't see his trembling pupils, and the lip that he bit tightly, he was in his twenties, and he didn't meet a person who worried him, and finally met it, she cut to the ethereal clouds in the sky, not under his control, but he was sensible, if he left, he would go to Xiangguo Temple to practice, and pray for her to be happy for a long time.
"Ah Feng, will you find another woman to live with for the rest of your life?" Lin Qianxun's voice was a little choked, and he didn't know why he felt inexplicably sad when he talked about this topic.
Although Leng Chopping Wind is cold, but his heart is soft, he has lacked love since he was a child, he is very insecure, holding a person is like an unfortunate straw in the water, and he will not let go, but if the life-saving straw passes away from his hands, he should be like a lonely steppe wolf, walking alone, lonely and old all his life.
"No, it won't." He replied in the affirmative.
Lin Qianxun suddenly turned around, stared at the handsome face covered with sweat, and said with a smile.
"If you are still alone, I will take you away without worrying about me, go to my hometown, whether we will quarrel in the future or not, whether we will be separated or not, we will be in the same world for the rest of our lives, because when I miss you, I can see you, or accompany you forever." In modern society, under the pressure of life and the prevalence of the concept of freedom, those enviable couples abound, everyone is doing well, there is nothing to part ways, so as long as there is enough living security, none of this is a problem, she secretly made up her mind that she must make money well, after all, it is a poor couple who mourn everything, why poverty is put in front, that is, there is not much economic support, look at those who have a slightly better family background, and generally do not make these things, everyone is highly educated, There is still some awareness of this.
"Okay." Leng Shufeng replied with a smile.
"Sleep, I have to go to the shop tomorrow morning." Lin Qianxun said and leaned into the arms of the cold-rolled wind, the temperature in the house was suitable, after all, there was no asphalt road, a house built of reinforced concrete, and there was no small tropical circulation, so you had to cover the quilt when you sleep, and it was estimated that it would be colder in winter.
Listening to Lin Qianxun's even breathing, Leng Shufeng dared to turn around and hold her in his arms completely, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were staring at the weft curtain above his head.
The pale green weft mantle is layered on top of each other, like a lotus pond in summer, and the breeze blows and rolls up ripples.
Get up on time again Looking at the sleeping Leng Chopping Wind on the side, Lin Qianxun lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and went out with a smile.
The birds in the yard were chirping on the branches of the almond trees, pecking a few times from time to time, chattering with her companions, and she smiled and went out.
When she walked down the street with diligent steps, she realized that the morning air and sunshine were so beautiful, she stretched out her arms, and went straight to the shop.
Just when she was about to arrive at the shop, she found a thin and tall girl standing at the door, her hair wet from the mist in the morning light, and the thin clothes on her body hung loosely on her body, but Lin Qianxun saw a beautiful quality in the thin clothes, that is, tenacity.
She is like a pine and cypress growing on the cliff, let the wind blow from east to west, north and south, I stand still, it seems that this girl will not be underestimated in the future.
"So early?" Lin Qianxun said with a smile.
"On the first day of work, my mother said earlier, and yesterday was also our negligence, and we didn't ask the boss for the time." Gu Mingmei turned around, and when she saw a slender and straight body appear in her realization, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she smiled a little embarrassedly and said.
"It's also my negligence, you should have been here for a while, since you came, knock on the door, otherwise when Kunnu opens the door, you will already have a sore leg." Lin Qianxun changes a piece of clothing every day, and the colors are also different, it is estimated that Leng Qifeng feels guilty in his heart, as the future wife of the god of war, he did not give her the dignity she deserves, but he has the reality of husband and wife early.
If this is placed in Kyoto, when the mother concubine is alive, she will happily let him marry the family, but now that he is far away in Guanshan, the enemy army is privately disturbing, and he is also forced by the situation, so he has to love Lin Qianxun, and he regrets it a lot afterwards.
