Hearing Su Jinyao say this, the noble lady was silent for a while. The curtain of the car in his hand was also slowly lowered, as if he was hesitating.

When Uncle Qi, the middle-aged housekeeper, saw his master's situation, he sent the silver in his hand to Su Jinyao and said, "Little girl, the silver is better than some false names, take it." We still have to hurry. ”

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and didn't accept the silver, but looked at the carriage where the noble lady was sitting again, then shook her head and said, "Thank you, my few glasses of water are not worth anything, I can't take so much silver for nothing, please take it back." If the guests pass by when they come back, don't forget to come to this small water shop to drink a glass of spring water. ”

Seeing that Su Jinyao was determined not to want this piece of silver, Uncle Qi shook his head and took it back. But he looked at a few house slaves and maids behind him, and made a look.

Those house slaves and maids must all be from big families, and they are very clever. As soon as they saw that the housekeeper had signaled, they took out a few pennies of copper plates from their coat pockets or purses, and prepared to put them on the stone bench of the small water shop.

When Su Jinyao saw it, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I really don't need it, the small water shop has just opened, and it's just for personal popularity." ”

"Wait." The lady in the carriage finally spoke: "Little girl, I don't know if it's really related to you, or if your delicate heart sees something. Since your poor family doesn't care about the money, I can't be stingy with those words, so I'll just give you a name for this water shop. It's called ...... The spring is clear and bamboo-scented. ”

With that, the curtain was lifted again, and the lady took out a handkerchief from within. said: "I was in a hurry on the road, and there was no pen and ink, so I wrote on my handkerchief with an eyebrow pencil." Go on, little girl. ”

Su Jinyao was overjoyed, hurriedly walked over, and took the white silk handkerchief with both hands.

I saw a red lotus embroidered on the corner, and there was a faint fragrance on the silk handkerchief. And the four juanxiu handwriting of "Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance" is written in the center of the handkerchief, and the red lotus is more elegant.

Su Jinyao took the handkerchief and thanked her again. I was about to fold it and put it away.

But I heard Uncle Qi behind him say: "The little girl is really blessed, this handkerchief is going to be put away." You might as well ask a master to make a plaque and hang it up. ”

Although the sentence was vague, Su Jinyao already understood that her move was the right one.

Immediately, Uncle Qi shouted and set off, and the carriage started to drive again, this time at a faster speed than before.

And the two girls in blue and purple in the second carriage also poked their heads out of the window and waved their hands to Su Jinyao.

Xiao Cheng'er didn't speak just now, and when he saw the carriage leaving, he reached out and pulled Su Jinyao's shirt and asked, "Second sister, why don't you want such a big piece of silver?" ”

Su Jinyao came back to her senses, looked at the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "This is really a treasure that is hard to find?" ”

"A handkerchief, even if it is a little fragrant, the rust is quite good-looking, but it is really worth more than a piece of silver?" Xiao Cheng'er didn't understand why a handkerchief, or a handkerchief with written words, could be better than silver. If it's the eldest sister, it's definitely going to be silver.

Su Jinyao carefully folded the handkerchief, put it in her arms, and then said, "This carriage came from afar, and I felt that the momentum was unusual." If you look at the boxes pulled in the back, the material is definitely not something that ordinary people can use. Coupled with the woman's nobility, it is enough to prove that her status is not low. The hardest thing to get is her attitude towards her two daughters. ”

"Attitude? Those two young ladies are really well-dressed, but I think that if the second sister wears a dress like that, it will look much better than the two of them. Xiao Cheng'er didn't feel the meaning of Su Jinyao's words at all, but was more concerned that the second sister's clothes were not as good as others'.

Su Jinyao said with a smile: "If it is a Shangjia family, it is inevitable that there will be a little more copper coins and cheesy, and how harsh it will be to her daughter, and it is inevitable that some young daughters will be squeamish; If it is an official family, the education of the daughter is generous and decent, and it does not lose etiquette, but it should be restrained; And if it is a scholarly family, it will value the daughter's reputation and reputation, and the shyness of the daughter's family is always inevitable. No matter which one it is, they won't let the two cardamom girls show up at will. Only the kind of noble family will not care about the eyes of the world, and let their daughter develop without restraint. ”

Su Jinyao is actually hard to say, she thinks that the two girls in blue and purple are arrogant but not proud, a little playful and noble. Every word and deed, every gesture is a unique demeanor, such a girl, if not a princess, should be a county lord.

And the identity of the lady in the carriage is not difficult to guess.

That's why Su Jinyao felt that a handkerchief was actually an opportunity, which was really hard to find.

Xiao Cheng'er listened to it ignorantly, but he didn't have the heart to figure it out, anyway, it was an outsider's business. The carriages carried people far away, and they became passers-by. It's hard to have any connections in the future, so why do you want to do it?

Su Jinyao smiled lightly and didn't need too much explanation. She felt that in the future, when Xiaocheng'er grew up and broadened her horizons, she would naturally understand.

"Second sister, do you say that our little bamboo shed is really going to be called 'Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance'? Why does it sound so sour? Xiao Cheng'er remembered that the second sister didn't want silver, so she changed such a sour name, and she was a little unwilling.

Su Jinyao patted Xiaocheng'er's brain, pulled him to squat on the ground, and used the branch he wrote just now to write the words "Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance" on the ground. Then he said to Xiao Cheng'er: "It's these four words, you can understand the second sister clearly." In the future, if anyone asks the name of our small water shop, you will tell him that his name is Quanqing Zhuxiang. This is one of our family's signatures. ”

"Signboard? Well, the signboard of five taels of silver is really expensive. "Xiaocheng'er's tone is more sour than the name. is simply secretly ridiculing Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao smiled and said proudly: "Xiaocheng'er, you remember what the second sister told you today, and the four words 'Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance' will resound all over the world in the future." It is the largest teahouse, the largest restaurant, and all the roads, small roads, business roads, and official roads will have these four words of post stations. ”

"Poof, second sister, you're stupid again." Xiao Cheng'er also laughed, but it seemed to be laughing at Su Jinyao's stupid thoughts.

Su Jinyao glared at him and ignored it, just found a stone bench to sit down, and looked at the words on the ground with her cheeks up, but her mind was full of imagination.

Although she rejected the "huge sum" of five taels of silver today, Su Jinyao still felt that hope was getting closer a little bit.

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, the purple-clothed girl blinked her eyes, showed a happy smile, nodded and said, "Then thank you." Thank you, little brother, too. ”

Xiao Cheng'er heard the girl in purple call herself "little brother", and took the flower basket she gave to her second sister, pouting a little unhappy.

Su Jinyao pinched him behind him, and then said with a smile: "My younger brother is not young, he will be ten years old soon, and he is a man in our family." ”

"Oh, that's the same age as me, I guess I was wrong." The girl in purple is generous, and she is not so arrogant when she speaks.

The girl in blue had been watching and laughing.

Su Jinyao turned her head and took the little grasshopper and dragonfly that she had made, and sent them to the girl in blue, and said with a smile: "Miss, this is a rough handmade by the little girl, and it is a fate to give it to you." ”

"Ah, what about the ones you gave me? It's so beautiful. Thank you. The girl in blue also looked quite surprised, and took it and couldn't stop looking at it.

"Haha, what an interesting little girl, quick mind, generous style, not bad." At that moment, the woman's laughter was heard from the first carriage. It sounded a little more approving than the faint tone just now.

Su Jinyao turned around and blessed the covered curtain, and returned: "Thank you, Madame, for the compliment." ”

"Then let me ask you, how much silver do you need for this man who delivers things and water? This mountain wasteland, don't be precious, right? The lady said in the carriage, and with a flick of her hand, she lifted the curtain of the carriage window halfway.

Although only half of the woman's face can be revealed, it is not extremely beautiful, but graceful and noble. And from the red and bright coral earrings and the glittering bead chain around the neck, it can be seen that it is really a good identity.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said: "What did Madam say, the more mountainous and wild the land, the more simple the people's customs, but they don't ask for much money, and they don't ask for a price, the family just asks for food and clothing." This spring water, this bamboo cup, this flower basket, and small bamboo weaving are all fiddling with my brother and me, and the bamboo and stone benches are also from the mountains. Just ask the guests passing by to be comfortable, and give a reward according to the mood. ”

"Tipping in the mood? What a young girl with a delicate heart, did you come up with this idea yourself? The lady was stunned, and then her eyes were full of doubt.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

After listening to Su Jinyao's answer this time, the lady stopped being silent.

The purple-clothed girl thought it was funny, walked up to Su Jinyao and asked, "Then what if we don't give money after drinking water?" What if you don't tip? Guarding here all day long, if no one comes to reward for ten days and half a month, won't you two sisters and brothers drink the northwest wind? ”

"That's a good question." Su Jinyao smiled and replied, "Just now a guest asked the same question, and then he ate two buns that our sister and brother brought for lunch, drank a few glasses of water and left." ”

"Gone? Really left, didn't give money? The girl in purple asked even more in surprise.

Su Jinyao shook her head and smiled, and said very indifferently: "The buns are just the vegetable buns made the night before, and this morning it was just to take the hungry, and it was cold, it was not a delicacy, that big brother didn't dislike it, it was just the rest, how could I ask people for money." What's more, it was originally said that it was a reward, maybe the guest didn't have a copper plate on hand, so forget it. If I asked if the shop was going to be opened, I told the lady that it would continue to be open. Even if I had other jobs, my brother would be there. ”

"Won't this be a loss?" The girl in blue also walked over and asked curiously.

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't hide it from the two young ladies, but I think it's a good livelihood." It doesn't take too long, and the guests passing by here are just more than an hour of noon. My brother can meet more people here, including officials, businessmen, and nobles, and it is much better than letting him stay in the ravine all the time to chop wood. The so-called 'it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles' refers to the need to broaden a person's horizons. Our family is poor, and we don't have the ability to send my younger brother to the school, and we can't let him travel around, so we can only let him get in touch with some people and things outside the mountains as much as possible here, and I hope he can see more for a long time. ”

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles', little girl, it's a pity that you have such a beautiful mind, nested in this mountain col." The middle-aged housekeeper couldn't help but exclaim, and looked at Su Jinyao fixedly.

"I don't think so." The noble lady looked out again in the carriage, and then said, "If it is a colorful phoenix, how can it live in the mountain col?" If it is a lark, it must sing to the air. ”

"Yes, Madame said so." The middle-aged butler hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.

Then the noble lady said, "All right, the rest time is not short, it is time to go." ”

"Yes." The housekeeper immediately replied and ordered the rest of the house slaves and maids to get up and go on the road.

Then the housekeeper walked up to Su Jinyao, took out a piece of silver from his purse, and sent it to Su Jinyao and said, "Little girl, since you said that it was a reward, with your exquisite heart, this piece of silver can be regarded as a reward for you." ”

Su Jinyao looked at the piece of silver, the white snowflake silver, it should be as much as five taels. This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the Su family, who is poor and does not even have a hundred yuan in a month. But is this money just like that?

"I don't want this money." Su Jinyao shook her head slightly, and pushed the silver back. Then he walked to the carriage, blessed the noble lady, and said, "Little girl Su Jinyao, that's my brother Su Cheng." There is no learning in the poor ravine, so I want to ask my wife for something. ”

"Oh? You don't want a single piece of silver, do you still have something to ask for? Let's hear it. The lady had already lowered the curtain, but when she heard Su Jinyao say this, she lifted the curtain again. But when I looked at Su Jinyao again, there was a bit of suspicion in my inquiring eyes. seems to think that Su Jinyao may have some greedy behavior.

Su Jinyao stood up straight without being humble or arrogant, and said crisply: "The little girl just begs Mrs. to give me a name for this little water shop." The guests who come and go in the future also have a chatter. Maybe word of mouth will become popular, and our whole family can rely on this small water shop to make a living. ”

"Ha, that's amazing. Do you still think that if I give you a name for this water, it will be worth a penny? There are also people who don't want ready-made silver, which is really stupid. Although the lady was smiling, her eyes were full of praise and smile.

Su Jinyao nodded and replied, "Yes." A name, a blessing, is hard to find. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, the noble lady was silent for a while. The curtain of the car in his hand was also slowly lowered, as if he was hesitating.

When Uncle Qi, the middle-aged housekeeper, saw his master's situation, he sent the silver in his hand to Su Jinyao and said, "Little girl, the silver is better than some false names, take it." We still have to hurry. ”
