Hearing that he wanted to buy books, Tang Jinnian volunteered to go together, but Qi Dali still didn't agree to go with him, but when he thought about it, the January appointment was coming soon, so he didn't care about it like a half-sized child.

Wen Auditorium is a famous bookstore in the town, and it is also the only store that sells books, Qi Shuning stood at the door of the store, looking at the shelves that were much higher than her, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and reiterated that she was reborn, why did she have to be reborn so small.

The shopkeeper didn't pay attention to such a little doll at all, but said to Qi Dali and Tang Jinnian: "Guest officer, take the little boy to buy books or pen and paper?" The small shop is new to the good Xuanzhou paper, the wolf pen, take it to you? ”

Qi vigorously waved his hand, "Let's greet others first, let's see for ourselves." ”

Although he has lived as a farmer for many years, the aristocratic atmosphere on Qi Dali's body is still faintly visible, and even if he doesn't like dancing and writing very much, his education since childhood is more or less still retained in his bones.

Tang Jinnian only observed silently and didn't say much.

Qi Shuning was small and short, and he slipped through the entire bookstore, and then began to carefully select, Tang Jinnian also intended to help Qi Shuning as a staff officer.

It may be a strange news for others that such a young child can read and write, but in the minds of Qi Dali and Tang Jinnian, it seems that this is not a big deal.

It's just that unlike Qi Dali, Tang Jinnian subconsciously thinks that this is a strange person and should be in his pocket.

Qi Shuning adjusted the basic essay records, as well as the basic history books, Tang Jinnian whispered on the side: "Sister Ning'er, this history book is a folk stir-fry, I have the authentic works of Mr. Zhu at home, wait for me to find it out and give it to you when I go home." ”

"Thank you."

Qi Shuning, who was reading the book, didn't have any superfluous expressions, and her answer was just a polite answer.

This made Tang Jinnian embarrassed to disturb her more.

When it was time to settle the bill, the shopkeeper pulled the abacus and said, "A total of forty-six taels, and the guest officer will give forty-five taels." ”

"How much!?" Qi Dali couldn't help but exclaim.

When the shopkeeper saw Qi Dali's reaction, he was suddenly a little unhappy, thinking that he was afraid that he would come to make trouble again, but he still said patiently: "This guest officer, our book here is a precious thing, the five miscellaneous books you took are four taels each, a total of twenty taels, and the five chronicles are rare in the world, each book is five taels, that is, twenty-five taels, and this Gonzo is one or two silver, even if it is given to you, Chenghui has a total of forty-five taels." ”

Qi Dali looked at Qi Shuning, and his expression seemed to say: Is it really necessary to spend so much money to buy so many books?

Qi Shuning looked at Qi Dali with big sparkling eyes, and wanted to say: Buy! I'm going to!

Well, the money is all earned by the girl, buy!

Qi vigorously gritted his teeth, took out the money bag from his arms, counted out forty-five taels and handed it over, the process was very painful.

Since this day, Qi Shuning has rarely gone out, and has stayed quietly in her room to read.

In a blink of an eye, when it was the appointed time, Tang Jinnian should leave, and while Qi Dali was not paying attention, Tang Jinnian came to Qi Shuning's room with a bird cage.

"Sister Ning'er, it's time for me to go home."

"Uh-huh."

"Sister Ning'er, what do you have to bless you?"

"Well, take your medicine on time."

"Anything else?"

"Ah, oh, no, have a nice trip."

Tang Jinnian stood beside Qi Shuning, looking at the little girl without even raising her head, he felt very unhappy in his heart, but because of what, he thought, maybe it was because he had never been so unvalued.

"Sister Ning'er, this is a carrier pigeon cultivated by my family, it flies thousands of miles every day, I will stay to facilitate you and me to communicate, you can take care of it, okay?"

At this time, Qi Shuning pulled his eyes out of the book and said, "This is a carrier pigeon?" Can it find you on its own? Can you get it back? ”

"Of course!" Seeing that Qi Shuning finally had something of interest, Tang Jinnian was very happy, and even more proud.

If his subordinates saw such an arrogant expression of their master, they would probably drop their jaws in shock.

"Then my subordinates, how do you feel after taking the medicine, tell me at any time, or if there is a change in the pulse, let the doctor who diagnosed your pulse tell me."

"Good!"

Qi Shuning continued to look down at the book, she didn't hear a sound for a long time, and when she looked up, Tang Jinnian was still standing there, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else?" ”

"I'm going home."

"Well, I know. Have a safe trip. ”

"Would you like to go to my house?"

"No, I'm still young." Qi Shuning is now completely accustomed to being a child, and her face is not red and her heart is not beating when she says such things.

Similarly, Tang Jinnian, who was scared of this sentence, didn't know what to say, but no, she was still young.

"So, can I still come and see you?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, I'll come to see you!"

"Well, okay, I'll wait for you."

Shu Ning actually just said it casually, but in Tang Jinnian's heart, this was like an agreement, an agreement that he seemed to remember in his heart all his life.

In this way, Tang Jinnian finally left the Qi family, and he can be regarded as witnessing that the Qi family has changed now under the impetus of such a small child.

Even if he was reluctant, Tang Jinnian still left in the carriage.

As soon as he arrived at the Shizi Mansion, the housekeeper Tang Ke hurriedly greeted him, helped Tang Jinnian lift the curtain with his own hands, and said: "Shiziye, you are finally back, the governor of the capital has sent people over several times, saying that he is visiting you, the old slave has always refused on the grounds that you are ill, and if you don't come back, I am afraid that you will be exposed." ”

Tang Jinnian sneered coldly and said, "Visit, hehe, it's to see if I'm dead or not!" It's not that easy to want me to die! ”

Tang Jinnian said as he walked into the main hall, behind the decent atrium screen, Tang Ke gently turned the vase, the middle of the screen suddenly rotated, and a secret passage came out, after Tang Jinnian entered, Tang Ke turned the vase back again, as if nothing had happened.

Tang Jinnian walked down the steps alone, pushed open the door of the dark room, there were several people in the room with their backs to the door at this time, heard the voice, turned around together, and immediately knelt down and said: "No heart, no rut, no intention, no fault, no flower, see the Lord." ”

Tang Jinnian just glanced at a few of them casually, walked straight to the right position, and sat down on the low couch.

Without hearing the master's words, several people turned around and knelt again, their heads always bowed, never raised.

"No, how many years have you been with me?"

"Back to the Lord, the slave has been with you since you were two years old, and it has been almost ten years now."

"Very well, then, you are guilty!"

Tang Jinnian's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest, but the words seemed to be quenched with poison, which made people tremble when they heard it.
