Chapter 142: Letter from Home
Inside the capital city, inside the Takeyin Pavilion. After Wu Shilu sent off the middleman who was discussing cooperation with her, she picked up a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into her mouth.
Wu Shilu, who had no previous business experience, was a little moved after listening to the man's introduction. But the identity of the behind-the-scenes collaborator is unknown, making it difficult for her to let down her guard.
The actual partner is still on the way to Beijing, and a series of preliminary preparations such as the location of the teahouse are entrusted to others. And this client is busy with other undertakings, so he can't discuss specific matters with her in person, so he can only send other people to explain the content of the cooperation.
If the introducer is not Li Jiangwei, no matter how tempted Wu Shilu is, he will give up this cooperation. After all, no one's money is blown by the wind.
"The site has been decided and is being prepared for decoration. If I'm going to cooperate...... Do you just need to throw money in and hire someone? ”
Sounds like a hoax...... Wu Shilu decided to go to the store they prepared to take a look himself. However, in addition to the identity of the collaborator, there are also obstacles at home.
The status of businessmen in society is not high, and the Wu family is a scholarly family, so they exclude the children of the family from doing business. If he mentioned the idea of opening a store in front of his elders, and his father didn't speak, it is estimated that his grandfather should be reprimanded.
Wu Shilu suddenly felt that the dim sum in his mouth was a little lighter than before.
"Why isn't there a Mountain Fish Pavilion in the capital?"
As I left the box and walked down the stairs, I heard two people with out-of-town accents talking.
"I'm still thinking about writing a letter to my family and sending it back! My family didn't know that I had arrived in the capital! ”
"I heard that the nearest mountain fish pavilion is in Shangyang. Or, do you follow the path of an official? ”
The two of them are simple and clean, not like people who fled from the south, and they look like scholars in plain clothes.
"No, no, no! The way of the official family is too costly! It's not easy for me to study at home, so let's be more frugal and frugal. If you hadn't said that there are often students in this Zhuyin Pavilion who exchange and study here, I would ...... I'm not coming here......"
Wu Shilu suddenly remembered that there was a spring festival at the beginning of spring this year, and these were probably students who went to Beijing to take the exam.
Every three years, students with dreams will enter Beijing to take the entrance examination, either for the glory of their ancestors, or for fame and fortune. Some people got their wish to get the title of the gold list, and some people returned in defeat.
Wu Shilu couldn't help but think of his friend who was about to leave home for mathematics.
In the Xiaoxiang courtyard of An Yuanbo's Mansion, Li Jiangyun counted the books in the box, and in the silent room, even the sound was very soft.
"Five, six, seven...... It's all right! ”
The maids wanted to help, but they were all politely rejected by Li Jiangyun. Huanyue School is far away from the capital, so it will be quite troublesome if you leave out books and notes. It's much more appropriate to pack things alone.
After the counting was completed, Li Jiangyun wiped the thin sweat from her forehead and stood up, exhaling a long breath of turbidity.
"It's almost cleaned up......"
As soon as the box was closed and about to be locked, Li Jiangyun's hand froze, and then turned around and pulled out a book that was not too thick on the bookcase. The book is still very new, and the cover is still neatly printed with the words "Bai Wat Ji".
Li Jiangyun carefully put the book into the box, and then locked it satisfactorily.
The day after tomorrow, it's time to leave An Yuanbo's mansion.
Thinking of this, Li Jiangyun's heart swelled with unknown melancholy. she
Looking around the room, her bright eyes widened as if she wanted to imprint the whole room in her mind......
No matter how much I take care of my family, it is impossible to give up my studies.
"Girl!" Qin Yan opened the curtain and walked in, "Girl, the little guy who came to carry things has arrived!" ”
Unlike when she went, Li Jiangyun brought a lot of books. I can only ask people to send the luggage to Li Fanxi in advance to save time.
"Just this one, you let them carry it out."
"When I go to Huanyue School this time, do I still want to bring the moon chop?"
"Just ask my sister. If that Gao Mao is still entangled, leave the moon there. ”
"Then I'll ask?"
Li Jiangyun shook her head and said, "I'd better go myself." ”
Under Gao Mao's entanglement, Qingxue Courtyard now always has to stay near the gate of the courtyard. Today's guard is Li Yue, who sits on a stone chair in the courtyard and makes needlework and female red. When I heard footsteps, I looked up.
"Five girls!" Li Yue put down the work in her hand, "I'll go and report it." ”
"No, you're busy. By the way, what about the moon? ”
"Let's have a bite to eat in the kitchenette."
As if she knew that Li Jiangyun was coming, she suddenly rushed out of the small kitchen, and ran towards Li Jiangyun while shouting. Li Jiangyun squatted down, hugged the moon with both hands and lifted it, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Are you fat again?"
Chopping Moon broke free from Li Jiangyun's embrace, and then ran around the stone table, as if she wanted to show Li Jiangyun her flexible posture.
"This white goose of the fifth girl is really spiritual."
Li Yue exclaimed: "How can geese in other places be so obedient? It's like being able to understand words. ”
"yes, otherwise I wouldn't have raised it."
Li Qianyun came to the house with a smile, and happened to see her sister sitting on the couch leaning on a low table to read a book.
Li Jiangwei had been busy writing manuscripts before, and when she rarely went to Qingxue Courtyard, she saw her lying in front of her desk and writing hard. It's not easy to see my sister reading leisurely.
"Sister?" Li Jiangwei exclaimed: "Why did you come here suddenly? Stuff packed? Do you have enough clothes? Are the books a good one? Is it the day after tomorrow? What are you going to do tomorrow? ”
Li Jiangwei asked a lot of questions at one time, so that Li Jiangyun didn't know where to start.
"If things are not packed up, do I dare to come?"
Li Jiangwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to stay at Master's hotel and I'll leave early in the morning as soon as dawn the day after tomorrow. If you stay in Bofu, it will be too time-consuming to go there early in the morning. Send your luggage over today, and tomorrow at noon, you will definitely have to get together at home for a meal. I thought I'd come over tonight to see my sister alone. ”
Li Jiangyun smiled and sat down beside Li Jiangwei as she spoke. Li Jiangwei stretched out her hand and held Li Jiangyun.
"Sister's hand, good ice."
"yes, that's why I wanted to keep you warm."
The sisters were silent for a moment, and they looked at each other, surrounded only by the small sound of the wind blowing the pages.
"Sister......
"Hmmm......"
"The second brother has participated in the Autumn Festival."
"Hmm...... Well? ”
"I heard from the master that the second brother is going to participate in this year's Chunwei. I will keep up with my second brother, win the spring exam in one fell swoop, and also participate in the spring exam three years later! I'll send my sister a letter when I get to the school! ”
"Hmmm! Good. ”
At this time, Li Jiangwei didn't know that Wenjin Bookstore had begun to make editions for "Wan Jiayan". What she didn't expect was that "Wan Jiayan" would become an important document for the study of the Xiajiang flood in later generations.
What's more, it was the first letter she sent home.
