As soon as the cold wind blew in the early morning, Chun Gui shrank a little, there were Qi You and Zhixing at home, Cai's family went back to live yesterday, and today he got on Li Zhicun's donkey cart early. Cai Shi shook Chungui's hand, and it was really cold again, seeing that Qi You put a dry object up and got into the donkey cart by herself, she smiled and said, "I knew that Qi You would definitely get up early to join you." ”

Chungui glanced at the young man, rubbed his hands and said helplessly: "Sister Cai knows again." ”

Cai Shi looked at Qi You, and the corners of his mouth were nu: "Our Qi You is famous for being cold and hot-hearted, but this warm-hearted heart is still for you, who can't see it." "Now that the people of the Cheng family are coming, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get Qi You's eyes.

Qi You let her joke, and quietly leaned on the donkey cart, blocking the wind on one side.

Today is about Li Zhicun is in a hurry, the donkey cart is a little faster, and it is only brighter when he arrives in the town. In fact, whether it is the current goat milk taro, double skin milk or the sweet potato syrup next month, there is no time constraint here, but those with a thick family background get up a little later, it stands to reason that she can come back after dawn, but Cai's here sells early, and it needs to be earlier.

Qi You looked at Chun Gui's sleepy and cold appearance, his brows furrowed slightly, if he really opened a shop in the town, it would be much better.

Although the sky is only slightly bright, but there are already people walking around in the town, as usual, the two of them paid the rent of the stall and put it on, with Qi You's help, Chungui just sits, Cai's saw that he was busy here, Chungui was so idle that he panicked, and then looked at Qi You, who placed the dishes with his own regulations, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Look, as soon as Qi You comes, you will become the shopkeeper." ”

Chungui took a bun and ate it, his eyebrows were a little proud: "Sister Cai, why envy me, you have your own envy of others." ”

These words mean something, and Cai's face turned red, and after glancing at Qi You, whose complexion had not changed, he relaxed a little, and scolded her with a smile that there was no door on her mouth.

Qi You only looked at the stall intently, and pretended not to listen after listening.

How could Chun Gui not see Cai's vigilant appearance, and sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that he had to guard against it at this time, but no one in this town who knew her knew her considerate and generous "Xianggong", and he just hoped that it would go well.

After the sun rises, it is the business field of Chungui here, Rao is Qi You is prepared, and he was also shocked by the long queue in front of him, these people's clothes and costumes look a little precious, but they all chatted with Chungui casually. He was surprised, but because it was the spring return, he felt that it should be like this, as if there was nothing difficult here in the spring return.

When others saw a handsome young man standing next to her, they blurted out: "This is Yue Niangzi's younger brother, right?" ”

Chungui hurriedly smiled: "It's my brother." ”

"Ouch, it's terrible, I don't know if it's the first or second place?"

Chun Gui glanced at Qi You, who had a calm expression, and said happily in his heart: "Qi You is fortunate to be the first in the middle of it." ”

This sentence was like a stone falling into the water, and there was an immediate uproar in the one-foot-long procession.

"It's amazing, you have to be handsome, and you are such a good talent, Yue Niangzi is a blessing!"

Everyone praised one after another, Qi You looked pampered and not surprised, and those people were all amazed in their eyes.

Chungui was praised happily, one was soft, and one person directly added an extra spoonful of goat's milk, which made everyone happy.

"I think the younger brother of Yue Niangzi still has to come often, let's just spend some words and praise, Yue Niangzi's goat milk bucket is about to bottom!"

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd, making Chungui shake his head.

After calming down a little, a voice came from behind.

"I won't tell you, if no one asks the identity of this young man, I will also say that he is the husband of Yue Niangzi, one is handsome and one is beautiful, and he really came out of a family, and Yue Niangzi's father and mother will give birth and raise it!"

Others joked: "Isn't it, I think so." Hey, after all, your child is still with you like a monkey, and next time you don't have to carry a stick to beat you all over the street! ”

This joke was made funny by some people, and no one noticed it, but Qi You, who had a calm face from beginning to end, seemed to have cracked his mouth at this moment, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and coughed lightly.

Cai's laughed out loud on the side, and his body slightly bumped into Chungui, who was also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I just made a joke about me, this doesn't happen to you." ”

"It's strange that the two of you are good-looking, how long has it been since this Qi You has grown tall and grown into an adult."

"Isn't it an adult, it's fifteen or sixteen years old, but it's the age of marriage!"

The more Cai Shi talked, the funnier it became, until he saw Qi You's slightly red face and said angrily: "Sister Cai, it's just that others are joking, what are you making a fuss about!" ”

She slapped herself in the mouth, looked at Qi You and said, "Blame me, blame me, our Qi You is thin-skinned, Sister Cai won't say it!" ”

That's how it got over.

When half of it was sold, Chungui suddenly remembered that he had answered the two bowls of double-skin milk from the Buzhuang guy yesterday, and he was busy leaving two bowls, and explained the reason to Qi You Cai's family, and wanted to send it by himself, but he didn't expect Qi You to take the initiative to mention it.

"The stall can't be separated from Sister Chun, I'll send it over, it just so happens that I have a few books to buy."

Chungui thought about it and agreed, saying that he was going to give him money, but Qi You directly refused, did not accept a penny, took two bowls of double-skin milk and left.

Cai sighed on the side: "I was not wrong just now, Qi You is already an adult." ”

Chun Gui took back the money, and then looked at the back of Qi You leaving, somehow, his heart was a little empty.

-

Buzhuang was not far away, and when Qi You sent it to the guy, the guy laughed and thanked him repeatedly: "Yue Niangzi is really a good person, I only thought about it yesterday, but I didn't think that the little brother would send it over in person." ”

Qi You said lightly: "It's okay, Sister Chun relies on your care to set up a stall here." ”

"Oh, Yue Niangzi is a good person, and she can do business, she broke out of us by herself, and she is a capable person."

Qi You hooked the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, and he was always happy when he heard others praise her.

Since it was delivered, Qi You said goodbye, but he didn't expect the guy to seem to remember something, and hurriedly stopped him, looking a little embarrassed.

"Little brother, I have something here, I want to talk to you about it."

Qi You turned around and frowned.

.......

Coming out of Buzhuang, Qi You's expression was slightly gloomy, as if he was very angry but endured. He walked straight forward, but not in the direction of the stall in the spring, all the way to the house where he lived.

It wasn't until the plaque of Guo's Mansion came into view that Qi You took out a picture album from his arms.

In this half month, he and Zhixing Zhou Han and the three of them hurried to compile the three-character scripture and a few poems of children's enlightenment into an easy-to-understand and interesting picture album, and many of them were not fully compiled, and they had to be compiled until two months later according to the schedule.

Seeing that it was a well-behaved scholar, several porters of the Guo family did not dare to underestimate it, and immediately went in to report.

After a while, Guo Ruyi came to greet him in person, and when she opened the door and saw that he was alone, she was inevitably surprised: "I also said that Sister Daoyue came with you, why did you come alone?" ”

Qi You pushed half a zhang away, kept a distance from Guo Ruyi, and then arched his hand.

"Miss Guo, can Brother Ling be at home?"

Guo Ruyi was even more surprised: "What are you looking for him to do?" He's practicing calligraphy in it. ”

Guo Zhanpeng can practice calligraphy obediently and smoothly, that is, the sun is coming out in the west, and Guo Ruyi is forced to do so.

"The words are almost recognized, and I am not interested in only memorizing knowledge, and I don't bother to read the three-character scripture." Guo Ruyi was full of complaints, and after confirming that Qi You was really looking for her brother, she called Xiaoyou.

"My father and mother went into the mountains to play, you can come in."

The two entered the main hall.

"A month ago, I left a teacher from Kyoto, and I'm going to have a fight with me every few days, not just a few days after I ran away from home, and I'm now forced to practice calligraphy."

Guo Ruyi also thinks that Qi You is a familiar person, this family is not ugly, and the co-author family knows it, and she does not avoid him.

Qi You sat down in the hall and asked, "Is the teacher's surname Shi?" ”

Guo Ruyi raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?" It's Shi Fuzi. ”

Qi You smiled faintly: "Now Shi Fuzi is the master of the county school. ”

Guo Ruyi suddenly realized, both frustrated and relieved: "That's how it should be, Master Shi is a talented elder, and teaching Guo Zhanpeng that bastard thing is wronged." ”

Qi You didn't say anything anymore, until Guo Zhanpeng ran in upside down, panting and shouting excitedly: "Sister, don't I need to endorse today!" ”

Guo Ruyi's eyebrows furrowed, and he took a sip of tea to suppress the breath in his chest.

"Huh? Why are you here? ”

Guo Ruyi put the tea bowl down and glared at Guo Zhanpeng: "Qi You, you talk to him, I won't disturb the two of you." ”

She said that she was about to go in, but Qi You said loudly: "Miss Guo, wait a moment." ”

Guo Zhanpeng tilted his head to look at his sister and then at Qi You: "What's the matter with you!" Hurry up and say, I still have to read a book, and I'll be scolded again later. ”

Qi You also stopped selling Guanzi, and handed the album at the cuff to Guo Zhanpeng: "Take a look, are you interested?" ”

Guo Zhanpeng sneered and took it casually: "It's another book that you want me to memorize like a stream, I have everything in my study, and there is no shortage of ......... from you."

As he spoke, he flipped through a few pages, but he suddenly got stuck in the middle of his words, and suddenly hesitated a little on his face.

Guo Ruyi's eyelids jumped, he looked at Qi You's unmoved expression, and then looked at the slight excitement on his stupid brother's face, turned around and sat down again.

Guo Zhanpeng turned faster and faster, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, and then he ran to Qi You's side excitedly: "Where did you get this book!" Anything else! I want to draw too! ”

Although Qi You's face was silent, only he knew that the slightest uneasiness when he came was truly dissipated at this moment.

"This is the only one, and the rest have to be painted again, if Young Master Guo is interested, he can wait for two more months."

When Guo Zhanpeng heard this, his face was even more excited: "This is what you painted?" ”

Qi You nodded: "Zhixing and I are also involved." ”

"Oops! This is fun! Are you here to give me this book? Guo Zhanpeng changed his temperament in front of him and said earnestly: "It must be given to me!" Do you think I don't like to endorse the text, draw this for me! Oh, you really have a heart, my sister is just a good friend of your sister, and your family even takes care of me! ”

"Wait a while to help me apologize to Sister Yue, I shouldn't have deliberately said that her goat's milk taro was bad a month ago."

Qi You let him talk until he heard this, and his face turned cold: "Are you in trouble with Sister Chun?" ”

Guo Zhanpeng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's just me ........"

Guo Ruyi looked at this moment for a long time, and figured out something, seeing that his stupid brother touched his head without saying a few words, he couldn't help sighing, and took over the conversation: "He didn't have a door to speak, and I had already taught him a lesson that day." ”

As he spoke, he took the book and flipped it over from the beginning. Each column of the Three Character Sutra is taken out separately and made into a painting, not because it is very well drawn, but it is quite interesting. For example, the sentence "cherish Meng's mother and choose a neighbor" draws a picture of a mother and son moving three times, and the expression on the villain's face can also be seen. If the unenlightened child gets this book, this interest in reading and literacy will not be worried.

After seeing Rao is business that she has been in contact with Guo Mansion since she was ten years old, she was also a little excited in her heart at this moment, look at her stupid brother, and look at Qi You, what kind of person's brother is smart and sensible, but this one of her own family wants to make her worry about the sky.

Qi You waited quietly, Guo Zhanpeng was just making a small profit here, if he sold it to Guo Mansion just to pick up the interest of this little young master, then this set of books would break the sky and be dozens of taels of silver, but if Guo Ruyi also peeked into the business opportunity, this business could be discussed.

Guo Ruyi held his breath, closed it and handed it to Guo Zhanpeng, who was jumping up and down on the side.

"You go back to the room to practice calligraphy first, and I have something to discuss with Qi You."

Guo Zhanpeng immediately pouted, but he also knew that this was an important matter, so he had to reluctantly put down the album and went out in three steps.

She looked at this stupid brother holding the book and flipping through it without being urged, she felt all kinds of feelings in her heart, relieved and helpless, and turned her head to Qi You and said, "I know that you are here to make profits with me, but I still want to thank you." ”

It was easy to talk to a woman like Guo Ruyi, who had been immersed in the business field since childhood, Qi You arched his hand and said: "Miss Guo doesn't need to say thank you, I also have my own plan." ”

Guo Ruyi pondered for a moment before raising his eyes and said, "Qi You, we are familiar with each other, so I'll say it directly." At the beginning, Sister Yue's fan I first got it from the shopkeeper in the town and then went to Kyoto to test it, and it really opened a fan road, and then I personally visited Sister Yue, and I made friends with her. ”

"But today this album is only seen by my stupid brother, who is a fan of calligraphy and painting, but I can't know that the unenlightened little doll in Kyoto also has a preference for this album. Even in my opinion, there is indeed a profit in this, but without testing, I can't get into danger, not to mention the background of the official eunuch's family, I don't dare to predict it at will. Qi You, have you been concerned about this layer? ”

In the final analysis, the Guo family is the home of the merchants, the Shinong industry and commerce, and the house of the official eunuch is separated by two horizontal ditches. She can peek into the temperament of one or two scholars, and work hard from the daily fan. But the fan is no better than the enlightenment book, the first pass of the compilation of the enlightenment book has to pass the official review, their family has been a businessman for generations, and the money is followed by the direction of the government, and what is forbidden on the top, they have to avoid something. If this album can't be approved by the above, no matter how useful Rao is, it's just a pile of waste paper.

How could Qi You not understand what she meant, nodded and said, "I understand your concerns. ”

"My classmate who participated in the album with me, his home is in Kyoto, although I can't tell you his family's official title, but it is still convenient to walk around in Kyoto, he will send this album to Kyoto in January, Miss Guo will only print the book into a book and put it in the literati store to sell."

"Is that serious?"

Qi You nodded lightly: "When the time comes, after compiling a group of enlightenment books, we will also hand them over to Master Shi, who studied for a bachelor's degree from Wupin Hanlin before he retired, and compiled a lot of literature and history, and then sign his name on the column that will be repaired." ”

This is to clear the front and back roads, and there is no need for Guo Ruyi to worry about half a point.

When Guo Ruyi heard this, the little hesitation in her heart was cleared, and after being happy, she seemed to think of something.

"This book has your classmates to help explore the way, and you can rely on the name of Shi Fuzi, why do you still come to do this business with me?"

is really a businessman's shrewdness, even if she has been friends with Chungui for a while, she will not let go of the slightest doubt when it comes to making money.

She stared at Qi You's face.

Qi You was silent for a moment and then spoke: "First, the three of us are scholars, and we can't be contaminated. ”

The students of the imperial examination ran to do business, which was not in accordance with the rules.

"Two to ......."

Qi You took a sip of tea, his eyebrows and eyes were a little soft: "Second, in a few days, Sister Chun will come to this town to open a shop, and I and Zhixing will go to Kyoto for the imperial examination in less than half a year, so I will sell you a good one, and I hope that your Guo family will take care of Sister Chun a little more." ”

"Sister Yue is coming to the town to open a shop?" Guo Ruyi's face was full of surprise: "I invited her over before, why didn't she agree, why is she coming?" ”

Qi You put down the tea bowl, and the words of the shop guy sounded in his mind, and his face returned to coldness, and he only said: "The situation is forced." He said nothing more.

"Qi You thanked Miss Guo here first."

As he spoke, he got up: "I'll take this album with me first, and when Master Shi sees it, I'll send all the books to Guo's mansion." ”

Miss Guo sat back and enjoyed it as a business, not to mention how happy she was, and sent Qi You to the door before going back.

And after Qi You walked out of the alley of Guo Mansion, his face suddenly gloomy.

The streets are already very lively, with people coming and going, and people gathering in front of the stalls to gossip and talk about new things.

After sweeping around, he walked straight to the tea stall with a large number of people in front of him, ordered a bowl of tea and drank it to himself, and the reminder of the man from Nabuzhuang in his mind was in his mind.

.......

"Yesterday, two sisters-in-law came to us to buy fabrics, and there was not much money, but they were very angry with Yue Niangzi, thinking that they had some trouble with Yue Niangzi, and even Cai's sister-in-law was also told by them. The two of them were like crazy demons, with a strong mouth, thinking of talking to you and telling Yue Niangzi to be more vigilant. ”

Qi You swallowed a sip of tea, his eyebrows were cold, he had pink eye, and he didn't deal with Sister Chun, and he couldn't speak human words, who else was there besides his good sister-in-law.

I can go to the cloth village to buy good cloth, and compare with Sister Chun, I am afraid that I have figured out Sister Chun's stall.

He didn't want to think about it, but he just listened to the guy and said: "I didn't think there was anything, Mrs. Yue earned a little money, and it is normal for ordinary women to be red-eyed, but a friend of mine ate a bowl of wontons at the wonton stall yesterday, but I heard two women inquire about Cai's sister-in-law's father-in-law." ”

"I see, that woman is thinking about prying the corner of Cai's sister-in-law, isn't it?"

These words fell suddenly, Qi You's eyes flashed, and he only asked: "How do they know Sister-in-law Cai's father-in-law?" ”

The man was patient: "Who of us here doesn't know that this Li Xianggong is considerate and sincere, I heard that the woman married a husband who has no interest, I'm afraid I don't fall in love with Li Xianggong." ”

........

When there were more and more people in this tea stall, and there were people sitting beside him, he hid the gloom on his face, replaced it with a faint smile, and poured a bowl of tea for the person sitting next to him, with a polite and polite scholar.

The words behind the guy repeatedly sounded in his mind, and everyone in this town is afraid that everyone knows Sister Cai's father-in-law.

Without such a concealment, the chance of his good sister-in-law hitting her head is even better, so what is this in her eyes?

This is fornication.

Where did she fall in love with Li Xianggong. According to her temperament, within a few days, Xiaoliangshan will definitely have some movement.

On the way to Guo's mansion, he thought about it for a long time, whether to make this matter clear to Tongchun and prepare early.

And after arriving at Guo's mansion, he thought of the slap on the back of the head of Chao Chun Gui this morning, and the throbbing in his heart after the beating, and then thought of the relationship between him and Chun Gui Ming now in Xiaoliangshan.

He didn't hesitate to put down this thought and prepared to ........ Let things take their own course.

Jumping out of that place, maybe there will be a different world, whether it is for Cai and Li Zhicun, or for him........ With the return of spring.
