++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the trip to Luoyang (VI) (middle).

The location and design of Yuehuaxuan in Luoyang, Xianyang and Hangzhou, the capital are very chic, and the traffic at the door is busy in the middle of the city. But in the past few months, there are Aoki tea houses near Huaxuan. The main entrance of the Aoki Tea House is often not far from the downtown area, but when you actually get to the door, it is very quiet. It is often separated by a wall with Yuehuaxuan, and there is a flower path in the middle to connect, and familiar guests can come here to drink tea and rest after enjoying the Yuehuaxuan meal, and meet guests. Next door to these Aoki Tea Houses is the bookstore of a friend of Xinjie. The bookstore adjacent to Luoyang City and Aoki Tea House is owned by Jing Muxian, a talented man in Luoyang, and is famous for its collection of ancient book fragments and rubbing ancient book inscriptions. Coupled with Jing Muxian's superb skills in the identification of antiquities, this bookstore named Mushi has the elegant name of the first bookstore in Zhongzhou.

Because of the brotherhood of the two owners, Mushi Bookstore and Aoki Tea House are almost connected, sharing a bamboo forest on both sides, with only a daughter wall in the middle, and a perennial moon cave door in the middle. Wang Shishi stood at the Moon Cave Gate, and looked at the tea house next door, The tea house didn't have many guests in the morning Except for a few guys who cleaned the tables and chairs under the trees and arranged the flowers and trees, there was no one else in the courtyard.

Since the old master had told him a few days ago to start paying attention to the movements of the bookstore, he had taken the opportunity to visit his widowed sister by going to the comprador in the city. His sister-in-law, Wang Chunhua, is now in charge of the kitchen in the bookstore. Although I don't know all about the people who come and go to the bookstore every day, the guys in the bookstore go to the kitchen to eat, get acquainted with them, and know a lot of things in the chat.

Wang Shishi now admires the old master very much, and often came to Mushi Bookstore to buy books and give them away two years ago. I often buy some ancient books at a high price, and I naturally get acquainted with the owner of the bookstore. Later, when I heard that the cook who was in charge of the kitchen was gone, I sent his widowed sister to take care of it. Originally, Wang Shishi couldn't figure out why the old master had such a big family business, why he wanted to tie up with a scholar who bought books in the city, and after the sister came, he understood that Mu Gongzi, who dared to love him, was deeply hidden, In addition to the printing society that printed books and rubbing, there were also jade workshops and goldsmith workshops, all of which were hidden in several courtyards connected by secluded alleys behind this bookstore, accounting for most of the alleys. There is also a kitchen there, but they are all purchased from the comprador of the bookstore, and sent to the bookstore and then sent from the bookstore. Although those jade and goldsmith workshops looked less than three percent of the bookstore, the girl listened to those stewards and sent the goods directly to the gold shops and jade shops in Luoyang City and the surrounding big towns. Although the guys don't know whether the gold shops and jade shops have their own shares, the shipments have been stable in the past few years.

The jade and gold shops in various places are not something that ordinary people can do, and the large amount of money required to hoard goods makes ordinary people daunting. And the valuation and sale of jade, etc., if there is no one to support it, there will be controversy if the guests are slightly dissatisfied, and most of the people who can afford these things are either rich or expensive in the city, and they all have a background. And if the bookstore owner is close to these people, he must have an unusual background.

Wang Chunhua was counting the vegetables that had just been delivered from Zhuangzi in the kitchen, and she saw her brother shaking at the gate of the yard. She hurriedly ticked off the book, and then instructed the other cooks to divide the things into three points as usual, and send them to the two kitchen sets except for her own kitchen.

Then he neatly collected the account books and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived. The cooks here all have families, and they all go home after work in the evening. Only Wang Chunhua was widowed, so Jing Ye asked her to set aside the small courtyard next to the kitchen to live alone, and no one in this area could be regarded as helping to keep vigil at night. Occasionally, the guys at the bookstore would ask for soup or something at night, and someone else would know.

When Wang Chunhua entered the house, she saw Wang Shishi sitting on the kang, and she impatiently threw the account book on the kang table.

"Yo, why are you so grumpy? Is it that the shopkeeper Sun hasn't come to your house in the past few days, and I think the man can't stand it? As long as you finish the old master's business, I will ask the master to reward you to go to Qingshan Courtyard to hang up. ”

"Phew!" Wang Chunhua walked to the courtyard gate to see if there was anyone, closed the door and walked in again: "Do you have a brother like this?" At the beginning, you wanted to climb up and push your sister to Luo Kai, you are good, you don't have to dig the ground on the Zhuangzi to beg for a living, but you are holding Luo Kai to take on some fatal task. As a result, the task was not done, and the people were gone. It's so easy for me to have a quiet life, and you have to let me go to Sun Er. ”

"What's wrong with Sun Er, Ren Swen, and the shopkeeper of this bookstore. Although Jing Ye is the owner, Jing Ye doesn't care about miscellaneous matters, and Sun Er is not meddling in the money in and out of this bookstore. Don't think I don't know, he's not missing your stuff here. With that, he took out a gold bracelet from the drawer under the kang table and weighed it in his hand.

"You just know to look at this," Wang Chunhua walked over and snatched the bracelet, "why don't you want to think about how much I have suffered." ”

"Bah, you suffered, you took down the five big and three rough ones of Luo Kai at the beginning. Don't think that you don't know as an elder brother, you said that I tricked you into letting you follow Luo Kai, why don't you want to follow him? Although I was the brother who matched it that night, but who couldn't walk when I met someone later? Didn't you tell people that when you saw him, he would run water? ”

Wang Chunhua was very surprised, she only said this to Wuya'er, who grew up together in Zhuangzi.

"Don't stare at me with such big eyes, I'm your brother, not the man you want to seduce." Wang Shishi poured tea and took a sip of tea to himself: "It was Wuya'er who told me, by the way, Wuya'er will be your sister-in-law in the future." ”

Wang Chunhua was even more surprised: "What about my sister-in-law Fen'er?" ”

"You don't have Fen'er's sister-in-law anymore, she is already the seventeenth aunt of the old master. Your brother and I are no longer the king of the past, your brother is now the head of the carriage and the study room with the master. ”

"How could the old master find his sister-in-law?" Wang Chunhua knows too well who her old master, Guo Er, is. When she followed Luo Kai, she was seen by him when she went to the outer courtyard to find Luo Kai on duty, and forced Luo Kai to send herself to his room that night. Although he is too old to do anything, it does not prevent him from torturing people. After she came back bruised, Luo Kai vowed to save some money to take her away, but Luo Kai died soon after. Since then, the old master has asked her to wait in the courtyard several times. Later, with the life of the bookstore, she was able to live in peace. At the beginning, her sister-in-law Fen'er also knew about the old master's summoning of her. My brother and sister-in-law live in the alley behind Guo's house, how can my sister-in-law provoke the old master if she is fine?

"Wuya'er is really smart, and she can also look at people, she told me that your sister-in-law Fen'er will definitely be able to enter the eyes of the old master. No, I just met Fen'er a few days ago, and yesterday I sent someone to my house to give a reward, telling me that I had left Fen'er as my aunt's wife. I was also promoted to my brother's position. Today, I will let Wu Ya'er move to our house, and Wu Ya'er is in charge of her Zhuangzi and gives her Zhuangzi father two taels of silver as a dowry. She asked me to bring you a message, This person went to a high place, and now if you do a good job of what the old master explained, maybe there will be greater edification in the future. Now that you have also won the shopkeeper Sun, let the shopkeeper Sun help you, if you can climb to Jingye, it will also be a good future. Jing Ye is young and handsome, talented, well-connected and very rich. My sister looks so coquettish, Jing Ye may be tempted, don't hang on the shopkeeper Sun. ”

"This is all taught to you by Wuya'er? Do you listen to her? ”

"Of course, look at the two of you who were in Zhuangzi at the beginning, you have my brother to take care of, what else can Wuya'er do besides work. If it weren't for Wuya's idea to let my brother think about it thoroughly, how would I find Luo Kai for you? We won't follow all the way from Zhuangzi to Luoyang City. ”

"I really didn't know that girl had so many mental tricks."

"It's your sister-in-law, we will all be a family in the future, with five girls to make suggestions, our family's life will only be better."

"To make a plan is to sell my sister-in-law Fen'er?"

"Fen'er is just too stupid to use her brain, but now she is not at a loss, the aunt and grandmother of the Guo family, how good it is to wear gold and silver, it is our master and grandmother."

"I've sold my sister-in-law, and now I'm thinking about letting you sell your sister-in-law again?"

"Don't say it so ugly, where is it that I sold you, just think about you and make suggestions."

"Thank you. Don't tell me what I think for me from now on, I'm afraid that she will sell me and I don't know what's going on. I'm busy here, too, so if you're done, you can go. ”

"I haven't gotten down to business yet. Today was the old master who asked me to come, and he said that the day before yesterday you confirmed that you saw the man in the portrait meeting Jing Ye in the bookstore, and he may still appear in the next few days, so that you can always pay attention to when he came to the bookstore and who he met. In addition, he said that Jing Ye may go to the tea society next door these days, so that you can find an opportunity to follow along, If you see the man in the portrait, you should also pay special attention to what he said and what he did, and repeat it to the old master word for word. In addition, the old master will let you recognize the woman next to him, and if you have the opportunity to see her alone, put this worm on her. With that, he handed her a small bamboo tube.

"The master said, you are a smart and clever person, if these things are done well, there are more capable men around him, he will match you with a good man like Luo Kai, and you will live a safe and stable life in the future. Sister, if we can climb up to something like Luo Kai or the captain of the guard, we will be more stable by the old master's side. If you can climb up to Jing Ye, we're not bad. So Wuya'er is right, you have to bet on both sides, and it's not in vain that our parents gave birth to you to be so provocative. ”
