Li Jiangwei came to the private room on the second floor of the Zhuyin Pavilion by appointment, and Wu Shilu rarely did not enjoy tea and snacks in the box in advance, but stared blankly at the several white porcelain cups buckled upside down in the center of the ark.

"What's wrong? Soulless? ”

Li Jiangwei closed the door smoothly, sat directly opposite Wu Shilu, and gently tapped the table with her knuckles to attract Wu Shilu's attention. Wu Shilu raised his head blankly, and his sloppy eyes finally focused on Li Jiangwei.

"I want you to give me some ideas."

"It's about the teahouse? Are you hesitating to open it? ”

Wu Shilu nodded and said yes, and the box fell into a brief silence. Wu Shilu didn't speak for a long time, and Li Jiangwei, who was not familiar with business, couldn't make suggestions.

It wasn't until the guy showed up to serve the food that he broke the silent embarrassment.

Wu Shilu didn't have many kinds of dishes today, only ordered a roast duck and a plate of seasonal vegetables, and two pastries.

"On the way here today, I went to the bookstore to take a look. The location of the store is acceptable, and it is also next to the downtown area. If it weren't for the fact that there was a Wenjin bookstore on this street, this bookstore wouldn't be bad. The Bamboo Sound Museum is usually mainly elegant, and there is usually no resident storyteller. I think there's a drama in opening a teahouse there......"

"I don't know anything about business, so I don't think I can help much."

Wu Shilu shook his head and sighed: "I really want to try, I want to try what I can do." In the future, if you get married and become the housewife of another family, you can't do what you want to do now. Alas......"

Wu Shilu let out another long sigh.

"I just brought this up at home, but my grandfather shouted to stop, and my father and mother didn't say anything at that time. Is there any way to persuade my grandfather? ”

"Teacher, he doesn't want you to go into business?"

"It's not just unwillingness! I hate it very much! What else do you say about a girl from a scholarly family, don't touch that yellow and white thing, and provoke a copper smell for nothing! ”

The more Wu Shilu spoke, the more anxious he became, and he was irritable, so he picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The crispy skin of the roasted duck is wrapped in oily gravy, and the tender meat collides between the lips and tongue, leaving the delicacy between the teeth and cheeks.

After the food was eaten, Wu Shilu also calmed down.

"What should I do?"

"This ......"

"Help me with some words? How about I go back and convince my grandfather? ”

Facing Wu Shilu's expectant gaze, Li Jiangwei had a headache.

"Business can also accumulate family heritage......" Li Jiangwei stubbornly said: "People always have to eat enough to pursue more things." With more money in the house, it will be much easier for future generations to study, and there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat. ”

The Wu family itself is not short of money, and it seems useless to say this.

Li Jiangwei was entangled, and suddenly remembered Linsu's dream.

"Now Gongguo is quite rich, but there are still many families who do not have the money to sponsor their children's education. Why don't you tell the teacher that the money you earn starts a school? ”

"Reading...... Wu Shilu's eyes lit up, "Grandpa should like to listen to this!" ”

"I heard that there is a wealthy businessman in Linsu, Xiajiang, who has opened a school to teach children to read and write, and will also teach children some handicrafts. If you want to do these things, you need money. Teacher, he shouldn't want you to be a profit-chasing woman, so he will be stricter. Might as well follow him in for some kind words. ”

Wu Shilu nodded thoughtfully, and began to look at the white porcelain tea cup in a daze again. She didn't even touch her favorite snacks.

"Sister Shi Lu, can I ask you for help with something?"

"Huh?" Wu Shilu came back to his senses, "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to continue learning with my teachers, but I don't know if there is a chance!"

"That's it...... Grandpa mentioned it in front of me and asked me if I wanted to go to class with you. We don't expect us to have the talent of the world and learn the law of governing the country. I only hope that the two of us will be together and accept the influence of the beautiful literature left by our ancestors. ”

"I'm always on my side!"

Li Jiangwei, who suddenly became high-spirited, really startled Wu Shilu.

"Don't you want to be so excited."

"Gotta get it!"

"Then I'll tell grandpa for you, but ......" Wu Shilu suddenly grinned, "I suddenly have an idea!" If my grandfather doesn't allow me to open a teahouse, can you lend me some money? I save part of the monthly silver, and I can sell a few pieces of some old jewelry. If it's still not enough, you can only find you and Ran Ran for help. ”

"It seems that today's meal is still a Hongmen banquet?" Li Jiangwei shook her head with a smile and picked up the chopsticks, "I knew that this meal was not so easy." ”

"Do you say yes!"

"The delicious food is all in front of you, how can you not agree!"

After the food on the table was eaten by the two of them, they went to Li's bookstore together. Crowds of people passing by Lee's bookstore, but there were more people than customers in the bookstore. It can be said that people who buy books in the capital have basically flocked to Wenjin Bookstore, and it is difficult for small bookstores to survive.

At least on this street, there is no possibility of victory in a head-on confrontation with Wenjin Bookstore.

"I always feel like there are more people on the street." Li Jiangwei looked at the crowd and sighed, "It's almost time to catch up with the day of Shangyuan." ”

"Maybe it's because the quadrennial cooking competition is about to start, and restaurants from all over the world are flocking to the capital. In the future, we can be considered to be in good luck. ”

Wu Shilu's eyes rolled, and he had a new idea.

"If you open a teahouse! We can also let the storyteller tell the story about the grand occasion of the game! ”

"Chef Battle? Who's in contention? ”

"Eh, eh! Yeah! Wu Shilu said excitedly: "That's how it feels!" Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil! ”

"I don't think you're fit to be the boss." Li Jiangwei said with a serious face: "You are suitable for the front line reporter. ”

"Frontline correspondents?"

"No, you didn't say anything to me......"

Under the banner of investigation, Wu Shilu took Li Jiangwei to take a walk around East Street. Wu Shilu bought a few cat toys, and Li Jiangwei bought some snacks. By the time she walked all the way back to Qingxue Courtyard, Li Jiangwei's legs were already sore, swollen and painful. She sat on a stone chair in the Qingxue Temple, beating the muscles of her legs. I looked up bored and found a few buds growing on the branches of the pear tree. The small buds are hidden among the bright green leaves, making it difficult to spot at once.

"Pear...... Off ......"

The cold gave birth to a sense of sadness.

Zhai Lianzhen's condition is the same as yesterday, neither improving nor deteriorating. After drinking the decoction and eating some meat porridge, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep to rest.

After falling asleep, Zhai Lianzhen was still frowning tightly, and cold sweat was still breaking out on her forehead. Li Jiangwei, who was originally in a good mood, couldn't help but worry when she looked at Zhai Lianzhen, who was tortured by pain like this.

Li Jiangwei's mind flashed through many things at that moment, about amnesia, about memory confusion, about mysterious people......

The undercurrent, hidden under the peaceful life, began to surge.
