The scholar worked in the shop, and this man was sitting in the back kitchen, and it seemed that he should be the chef here, and he was also the owner.
"Yo, boy Chu, you're here, who are you next to you? Okay? "This man looks to be over middle age, and this face really can't tell that he is a good person who saves people everywhere.
Sure enough, no one should be disgraced.
Chu Yi scratched his head and said, "This is my sister." ”
It was rare that he would even show such a respectful appearance in front of the elders, Chu Yi looked at those elders, and his nostrils were eager to turn to the sky.
"Sister? My sister? Where did you come from, sister? Oh, I see, love sister, isn't it? ”
Qu Xiaoqi's original respect for this middle-aged man all dissipated at this moment, why is this person so unreliable?
Qu Xiaoqi glanced at Chu Yi and found that Chu Yi also had an embarrassed look on his face, and he didn't know what to say at all.
No way, she coughed and said, "Brother, we still have something to do." ”
As he spoke, it was like Jinbao stretched out his hand.
Jin Bao immediately took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Qu Xiaoqi.
Chu Yi seemed to come back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, we're in a hurry today, and I have something to ask you." ”
Briefly told the middle-aged man about the delivery of the letter.
The middle-aged man sat on the chair, moved lazily, and asked, "You mean, you need to be sent to the capital?" In that restaurant? ”
Seeing the two people nodding, the middle-aged man groaned for a moment and said, "Since you are begging me to do something, fifty taels of silver, isn't it too much?" ”
Fifty taels? Is he ready to grab money?
Qu Xiaoqi frowned and looked at Chu Yi.
She only brought the things left behind by her mother, although those silver jewelry are not heavy, but they are exquisite, why don't you go to the pawn house to pawn them first?
Thinking so, Chu Yi took out a small piece of gold from his arms, which looked like there should be one or two.
This tael of gold is enough to exchange for a hundred taels of silver, I didn't expect Chu Yi to be worth this kind of money.
Looking at Qu Xiaoqi's surprised gaze, Chu Yi smiled and said: "When those elders got close to me before, I felt it from them, and I knew that person was so rich, but I didn't expect to carry gold with him. ”
When did you touch it, and why didn't you find it?
Is there really contact between two people? Is martial arts for Chu Yi to do this?
Qu Xiaoqi stretched out his thumb to Chu Yi, this move is really powerful.
Chu Yi just wanted to give the gold to the middle-aged man, but when he saw him wave his hand, he called the scholar who was still working in the store.
Then he unintentionally plucked out his ears and asked, "What month is the palace exam you are talking about?" ”
The scholar was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the life-saving benefactor to ask such a question, and replied honestly: "Spring will start next year." ”
The palace examination needs to be rushed to Beijing, so it will not be stipulated that there will be a specific time every year after the busy farming like the township examination.
"Since you've passed the Xiucai exam, it doesn't matter if you miss it once, right?" Middle-aged people obviously don't know much about this.
The scholar looked lonely, "Next year will be the last year, if I don't ...... That's all there is to it, or to take the exam again, it will be too expensive, and the family will not be able to provide for it, I ...... See them without salt. ”
The middle-aged man yawned, "If you want me to say, you go to the academy here to get an errand, won't the money for the exam come out?" It won't do you any good to waste your time with me. ”
Obviously, the middle-aged man had said this several times, and the scholar stood there silently as if he hadn't heard it.
Qu Xiaoqi and Chu Yi could see the stubbornness in his eyes, probably because the middle-aged man saved his life, so he wanted to repay the favor.
The middle-aged man waved his hand at Chu Yi, "It's just right, this is an errand, go to the capital to deliver a letter." I have a store here that I can't look at, and it's not a difficult errand, a tael of gold, you take it and get out, I'm annoyed when I look at you. ”
It turned out that the silver was asked for this scholar. Qu Xiaoqi was a little surprised, this person is really not greedy at all?
Chu Yi gave the gold and letters to the scholar very well, and it was enough for these two gold to save money and go to the capital to catch the exam, and the scholar in front of him was also diligent, and it was estimated that he would be able to find a livelihood there.
"Alright, don't you guys have something else to do? Hurry up when you're done, you don't have idlers here. ”
Chu Yi and Qu Xiaoqi were kicked out like this.
The two men returned to make trouble, pretending that nothing had happened, and the person who had been following them looked relieved to see them, and then cautiously followed behind them.
Qu Xiaoqi somewhat understood why Chu Yi respected that person so much, and she admired it a lot.
Originally, his lion's big mouth left a bad impression on himself, but now it seems that he has really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Mr. Qiu, he is a virtuous person, don't look at him like that, his knowledge, insight and even conduct impress me. If your future man is not as good as him, I feel that you are not worthy of you at all, but you are the heart of your father, and you can see from the letter how much they are looking forward to your arrival, but it is a pity that ......"
Qu Xiaoqi lowered his eyes, then raised his head and asked, "Do you want me to marry someone who can be my father?" ”
Chu Yi's face froze, "Naturally impossible, what are you thinking, I just praised Mr. Qiu, but I just think that the person who is the dark dragon is a little lacking in moral character." ”
"If only he would have been nice to me."
"I think it's your eyes that are good for him."
Chu Yi naturally didn't know that under the cold pool, Meng Yuqing was suspected of inputting internal force for Qu Xiaoqi just to protect Qu Xiaoqi's life, and the little old man said that Qu Xiaoqi himself was suspected of entering the cold pool because of Meng Yuqing.
Chu Yi is a little afraid when he thinks about Hantan's affairs now, if there is no cross-living grass in it, maybe his sister has already ......
"I'm a profiteer." Qu Xiaoqi pursed his lips, then stared at the snacks on the street, and symbolically bought a few pieces of jewelry, showing great intimacy in front of the person who was following him.
It seemed that he had taken over with someone halfway, as if to reassure them, and the person who followed them naturally couldn't say that he had lost it once in the middle of the way, and told everything he had seen.
When they returned to the Snow Mountain, those people looked at Qu Xiaoqi and Chu Yi with ambiguous eyes, but because Chu Yi was still a nominal saint, they didn't make jokes.
Now I don't know how many people wish that the two of them would be embarrassed, and then Qu Xiaoqi directly lost the qualification to become a saint.
It's a pity that they waited left and right, and in the end, Qu Xiaoqi still passed the test.
The time before the test was the hardest, I don't know who dared to put something dirty in their meal.
Fortunately, Jinbao has some understanding of these things, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chu Yi's face has also been very gloomy these days, originally Qu Xiaoqi wanted to cook by himself, but Chu Yi stopped it in order not to startle the snake.
So in the past few days, Qu Xiaoqi can be said to have had a meal without a meal, and he pitifully integrated the meals without anything to fill his stomach.
Now there are no servants in the courtyard, and the food passes through the hands of too many people, and it is not known who did such a thing.
They were too bold, and seeing that Chu Yi was not ready to make a big noise, Qu Xiaoqi made some unknown noises in the room.
Although Chu Yi said that he had been, he didn't know much about these things, and he didn't know what Qu Xiaoqi was doing at all.
But this doesn't mean that those who came to check on the situation didn't understand, so when it was tested that Qu Xiaoqi was still complete, everyone's expressions were very exciting, and some people looked at Chu Yi with a strange gaze.
They were thinking, is Chu Yi not good, or is it too short-......? No matter how short it is, it can't be like this, right?
Chu Yi looked at them inexplicably, and then withdrew his gaze, although he didn't understand much, he could see that there was something wrong with the expressions of these people.
Unbelievable? Or is it disdain?
Do you do anything that they need to despise as a group?
Chu Yi, who has always been high, is now very uncomfortable in his heart, and his lips pursed, now that the test has been completed, the most important thing is about to begin.
"Now that she has passed the first two tests, is it time to move on to the next step? I think I can teach her myself, and I don't need other elders to intervene, right? I think they have studied for a year, and they must not be as proficient in this martial arts as I have studied for nearly 20 years, right? ”
This reason really can't be refuted, but these elders don't intend to just let Chu Yi go, isn't it? Someone said mockingly: "Giving this matter to you naturally saves us a lot of things, but I just hope that you don't input your internal force into this person's body in the end." If we are lucky enough not to explode and die, we will eventually go mad if the foundation is unstable, which is not something we can afford. ”
Chu Yi knew that this was just a mouthful, and he didn't plan to deal with him, but just set his eyes on the door master.
The final decision is still on the door owner, but I don't know if he has a reason to refuse.
The door owner thought for a while, looking at Qu Xiaoqi and Chu Yi, there were some strange rumors recently, and he had to guard against them.
"You should be clear that the particularity of the martial arts of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter, although it is domineering, there must be no personal relationship between men and women. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be alone for a while. ”
Chu Yi sneered, "The door master's memory is really good, could it be that you have forgotten that Xiao Qi and I have been living together in the mountains for a year before this." What have I done to her? The door owner doesn't believe in Chu's character? I said that I don't have any personal enmity with the master, so I won't insult and question me in public, right? ”
The door master obviously didn't expect Chu Yi to say so much, and he really didn't know whether to refute or explain for a while.
