The next day, Ah Gua Niang personally went to the yamen with a broom, but was stopped outside by two officials who were guarding the gate.

"My Agua was almost crippled by your willow catcher, get out of the way, I'm going to go in and find her to comment."

Ah Gua Niang rolled on the ground and made a mess, making a lot of people who watched the excitement.

It was really unseemly, Master Wang found the Mu Governor's Mansion and negotiated to compensate the Agua family for one or two silver.

Master Wang stood outside the yamen, "The prefect is determined to compensate your family for one or two pieces of silver." ”

Ah Gua Niang lay on the ground and didn't get up: "No, one tael of silver is too little." ”

She felt that she would get a tael of silver if she made two troubles, and if she made a little more trouble, she might be able to get more.

Master Wang persuaded him with good words: "The prefect asked Lang Zhong to show your child yesterday, and he was not injured, but he was just frightened." ”

"My poor Agua—"

Master Wang stood on the high stone steps and looked at Ah Gua Niang condescendingly: "If you make trouble again, I will punish you for the crime of contempt for the court." ”

Ah Gua Niang heard that if she made trouble again, she would punish the crime, so she immediately got up and grabbed the silver in Master Wang's hand and ran away, it would be a fool not to run.

Half a month later, Hua Xi'er came back, although she was dusty, she looked very energetic.

"Aunt Xi, you have lost weight, and Granny Hua should be distressed when you turn around."

Hua Xi'er has a lot to tell Xiao Qi, "When Qixi Building opened, because of the Qixi flowers, it attracted a lot of strange-looking guests, and it became famous in one fell swoop. ”

"I sold eight of them, and guess how much they sold?" Hua Xi'er said and deliberately raised a finger to remind Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi saw Hua Xi'er put up a finger, thinking that a place as big as the capital would not only sell for one tael, so he guessed: "I guess it sold ten taels of silver?" ”

Hua Xi'er shook her head: "One hundred and one tael, those children of the nobles in the capital are flocking to it, and I didn't sell the remaining two, so I left them in the Qixi Teahouse for everyone to watch." ”

"No, it's so expensive." Xiao Qi felt that this thing actually didn't cost much.

Hua Xi'er smiled: "Although we didn't spend any money, but scarce things are expensive." ”

"The people of the capital are stupid and have a lot of money."

"Xiao Qi, you're right, Qixi Tea House has received more than 100 advance payments for Qixi flowers."

"Wow, isn't that more than 10,000 taels of silver?"

"Exactly, there is one more thing you can't think of, your brother Afu is famous in the capital, didn't he paint a portrait of Mu Zichen before? The eldest princess held a banquet in the mansion, and your brother's painting became popular, and many people rushed to inquire who the blessing family was, and wanted to ask for a painting of the blessing family. ”

Hua Xi'er took Xiao Qi's hand, "Let's go, let's go to your brother and ask him to help us paint a picture and put it in the Qixi Teahouse in the capital to be the treasure of the town store." ”

The two knocked on the door and entered Ah Fu's house, and saw a total of four oil lamps lit on the table, and Ah Fu was immersed in painting.

Xiao Qi was a little distressed when he saw this: "Brother, don't burn your eyes." ”

Ah Fu raised his head, his face was happy, and his face looked seven or eight points like Liu Dahe, "Auntie, sister, you are here!" ”

Hua Xi'er took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and put them on the table: "Ah Fu nephew, this is your reward, do you remember the painting you painted for the little boy of Mufu last time?" It would be nice to help draw an exact picture, or a better one than that. ”

Ah Fu blushed, "Our own family still don't give silver, I will help draw it, it may take a few days to finish the painting." ”

"It's okay, you paint slowly, the more beautiful the painting, the better, but the money still has to be collected, and the brothers still have to settle the accounts, our Qixi Lou is a businessman, and we can't take advantage of Ah Fu's nephew in vain."

After the three of them talked, a little maid came over, and Hua Xi'er attached to Xiao Qi's ear, "Lu Feng is here, I'll go out first." ”

Xiao Qi understood and said with a smile: "Go, go quickly, otherwise you should be in a hurry." ”

"You bad girl, you're going to make fun of me."

After Hua Xi'er left, Ah Fu asked with a look of embarrassment: "Sister, do you want to talk to the prefect in advance?" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, "Don't worry, I will talk to Mu Ziqi, and Mu Ziqi is also one of the owners of Qixi Building, so he shouldn't refuse." ”

Ah Fu glanced at the silver ticket, and saw that it was a large denomination of one thousand taels, and was taken aback, "This is too much, it's just a painting, where can it be worth a thousand taels." ”

"Brother, rest assured, Aunt Xi is a businessman, and the price given is naturally fair, and she will neither let Qixi Lou suffer a loss, nor will she let my brother suffer."

Ah Fu handed the silver ticket to Xiao Qi: "Sister, I can't use this money, leave it for my sister as a dowry in the future." ”

Seeing that her brother was very kind, Xiao Qi had no choice but to accept it, but she didn't plan to keep it for herself, but planned to help her brother save it first, and then take it out and return it to her brother when he got married.

Since Mu Ziqi didn't go to the academy, Feng Yulang didn't go either.

Feng Wanbao: "I knew that you said you were going to study on a whim, look, you haven't read it for a few months." ”

Feng Yulang smiled flatteringly, "Dad, you don't know, I got the bottom three in the college unified examination this time, and I am not a material for reading at all." ”

Feng Wanbao has long known that his son is not good at reading, and it is absolutely impossible to expect him to be a talent and so on, just like expecting the sun to rise in the west.

The angle of his concern is different, although his son almost did nothing in the exam, but he must not be compared to the little bastard of Lu Buqun's family.

So Feng Wanbao asked very seriously: "How did Lu Buqun's Lu Dafa do in the exam?" ”

Feng Yulang smiled, his father would really ask, "Lu Dafa took the second-to-last exam, and I was third-to-last." ”

Feng Wanbao was very pleased, and took out a large piece of silver from the cash cabinet, "Okay, yes, you have won glory for your father, and this piece of silver will be awarded to you to buy something to eat." ”

The third-to-last won the glory, could it be that he heard it wrong, Feng Yulang glanced at his father carefully, and saw that the smile on his father's face was very strong, not like it was pretended, so he happily accepted the silver, and silently planned to invite the master to eat a good meal tomorrow.

Seeing that the youngest son left happily, Feng Wanbao thought, it's better not to go to the academy, so that he won't be surpassed by Lu Buqun's eighth son in the next exam, how faceless!

In the evening, Feng Yulang personally ran to the yamen and stopped Xiao Qi outside the yamen.

He held two strings of sugar gourds in his hands, handed one to Laifu, and another to Xiao Qi.

"Master, senior brother is no longer going to the academy to attend classes, and I don't plan to quit, I have already thought about it, and I will follow the master as a catcher in the future."

Feng Yulang looked at the master with a serious face, "Master, do you say it's okay?" ”

This thing is actually not bad, Feng Yulang is a very good kid, and he also has martial arts, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to be a small catcher, but she can't be the master of this matter.

Xiao Qi coughed dryly twice: "This, I want to ask Master Wang, you wait for my news." ”
