Yuan Sanbo and Yuan Wushu heard Mrs. Yuan say this, thinking that they shouldn't be able to please anything today, and a group of people left.

"I frightened my mother." Yuan Shaocheng took the tea cup from the maid Ruoyun's hand and bent down to serve it to Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan took a sip and said, "They will definitely not give up, in the next few days, you have to keep an eye on the pharmacy and don't make any trouble." ”

"Yes."

Yuan Shaoyin said: "Brother is really, standing next to him without saying a word, but letting his mother take the lead." ”

Yuan Shaocheng didn't say anything, but Mrs. Yuan said: "Your brother's temperament is like this, and you don't know it." ”

Yuan Shaoyin said: "My brother teaches me a good lesson on weekdays, why don't you show the style of being a family member today?" ”

"Those people, most of them are older than your brother, how can you say that they are your brother's elders, what do you want your brother to say? Do juniors scold their elders? If it gets out, it's time for people to talk about it. ”

Yuan Shaoyin didn't say anything more, and walked out of the hall.

Yuan Shaoyin is young, and she quarrels with those side houses of the Yuan family, outsiders will only say that Yuan Shaoyin is young and ignorant, and she will not care if she forgets it in a few days. But Yuan Shaocheng is different.

Yuan Weisheng died very early, people say that the eldest brother is the father, Yuan Shaocheng, who is the elder brother, is like a father who manages Yuan Shaoyin, and he usually has to be busy with the pharmacy, as a family member, he must speak and do things steadily, and he must be cautious in his words and deeds so as not to fall into the hands of others.

Seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve was coming, the few side houses of the Yuan family heard the wind. The contract of the store was in Yuan Shaocheng's hands, and they had no way to get the store, so they went to the store twice in three days to make trouble, so that the Yuan family could not do business.

Yuan Shaocheng was very busy, in order to make this year more comfortable, Yuan Shaocheng finally divided the two small pharmacies in Zitong Lane to Yuan Sanbo and Yuan Fifth Uncle.

After Yuan Sanbo and Yuan Wushu each got a pharmacy, they finally stopped. The two pharmacies in Zitong Lane don't have doctors, they just sell medicines, but they just sell medicines, and the profits of the two shops in one year are enough for Yuan Sanbo and Yuan Wushu to eat for three or five years. Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Yangzhou City was very lively, Xingdou Lane, Liuli Lane, Yaohua Lane, and Lilac Lane were all brightly lit.

In Guo's mansion, Xiaolan entered the wing room with a smile and handed a letter to Guo Xiaoxiao: "Jiang Feng is here, send this." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took it and opened it to look at it, got up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where's Miss?"

"Star Dou Alley."

"Do you want a carriage?"

"No need, let's walk over."

Xiaolan nodded, and said, "But Madame ordered that the New Year should be observed tonight." ”

"We keep the New Year every year, I'm bored to death, and we can't keep the New Year at home, we can also keep the New Year outside."

Xiaolan Xiaoxiao followed Guo Xiaoxiao out of Guo's mansion, to go to Xingdou Lane, you need to cross Wanhu Lake first, there is a bridge in the middle of Wanhu Lake, called Green Moss Bridge.

Guo Xiaoxiao first walked along the lake, and there were many people by the lake, all watching fireworks.

"Bang! Bang! The fireworks rose to the sky, crisp one by one, Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stop and watch.

"Miss, look, red, yellow, green, so beautiful." Xiaolan shouted.

"yes." Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky, a burst of fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose, Guo Xiaoxiao poked Xiaolan an elbow, "Xiaolan, do you want to eat kebabs?" ”

"Yes." Xiaolan hesitated, "But, let's eat kebabs and watch the fireworks, will it delay time?" ”

"No, let's come out early, there's still plenty of time, let's play for a while before going to Star Dou Lane."

"Okay."

Xiaolan had a money bag on her, thinking that Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't go out without some silver taels, so she handed the money bag to Guo Xiaoxiao and ran to buy kebabs.

Guo Xiaoxiao took the money bag and hung it on his waist. The fireworks in the distance rang out one after another, and Guo Xiaoxiao lingered and applauded. At this time, a pickpocket was approaching Guo Xiaoxiao's side. Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't bring money on weekdays, and she is careless about the money bag, and the good-looking fireworks are attracting her attention, and the pickpocket took away her money bag so unknowingly.

The pickpocket was about to slip away, but was caught by a man.

The man knocked the pickpocket down with three strikes and five divisions, and all the people around him scattered, and several girls screamed in fright when they saw the fight scene.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked back sharply and saw a man being trampled under Yuan Shaoyin's feet. Guo Xiaoxiao looked around and found that Yuan Shaocheng was also here.

"Grandma spare your life! Grandma spares her life! ”

"Take it out." Yuan Shaoyin bent over and said.

"For you, for you."

"It's all here?"

"It's all here."

"Get out!" Yuan Shaoyin raised her foot and scolded.

Then walked up to Guo Xiaoxiao and threw the money bag to Guo Xiaoxiao: "Be careful next time." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao found that the money bag on her waist was missing, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Yuan! ”

Yuan Shaoyin turned around and said lightly: "You don't have to thank me, I just can't get used to this kind of petty theft." ”

"I ...... In any case, thank you again. Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, "I...... I'll treat you to dinner another day. ”

"You said it! I owe it first. ”

Yuan Shaoyin is gone.

Yuan Shaocheng stepped forward and said, "Ah Yin, she has that temperament, don't you mind." ”

"I know that Miss Yuan is open-minded and open-minded, and I like such people."

"Ayin's violent temper, it's really not easy for someone to appreciate her." Yuan Shaocheng quipped.

"Your brother, instead of helping his sister speak, he makes fun of her."

Yuan Shaocheng smiled and did not answer. He knew that Guo Xiaoxiao's words were just funny to each other, so he didn't take it to heart.

Guo Xiaoxiao saw that he was followed by Da Zhe, and she asked, "Are you out to visit the lights today?" ”

Yuan Shaocheng looked at the red lanterns hanging by the lake, and said with a smile: "Yes, Ayin said that she wanted to buy some rouge jewelry, and she insisted that I accompany her, so I came out." ”

"I mean, according to your temperament, you don't like shopping very much."

"What about you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Me." Guo Xiaoxiao was thoughtful.

At this time, Xiaolan came back with seven or eight skewers of kebabs in her hands.

Guo Xiaoxiao said: "Come out and eat kebabs." ”

Yuan Shaocheng pursed his lips and smiled: "On weekdays, I look at you as gentle as water, but I didn't expect to like to eat spicy things." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his head and smiled: "I not only like to eat kebabs, but also like to eat stinky tofu, which is the one in Zitong Lane, but it is delicious." ”

Yuan Shaocheng didn't expect Guo Xiaoxiao to be such a greedy Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Okay, if you highly recommend it, I must try it when I have time."

Xiaolan reminded: "Miss, we still have something to do." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao almost forgot to go to Xingdou Lane, but he bowed and said, "Let's go to another place first, Doctor Yuan, don't leave it at that." ”

Yuan Shaocheng arched his hand, which was regarded as resignation.

Guo Xiaoxiao and Xiaolan walked to the green moss bridge, and the two walked while eating.

"Miss, do you think we don't have the same way we eat like this?"

"Oh, what rules are there in front of the food, are you only in the house and not restrained enough? Anyway, when we leave the Guo Mansion, everyone else knows us. Even if you know us, this black light is blind, and you can't see clearly. ”

"Yes." Xiaolan gulped down the kebabs.

"It's delicious." Guo Xiaoxiao grabbed the skewers with both hands and ate them with relish.

At this moment, a person walked behind him, and the man patted Guo Xiaoxiao's shoulder. Guo Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he put his hands behind his back.

"I stole food from the street again, and I will sue your uncle when I go back."

"Cousin." Guo Xiaoxiao bit his lip, "People die for money, birds die for food, I am confused by food, although I am determined, it is still difficult to resist." ”

"Strong words."

"I ......" Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes dodged around, and finally puffed up his chest and said, "What's wrong with me just eating?" ”

She took out the kebab behind her and ate it in front of him, and took several bites hard, chewing and saying, "How about I eat it?" ”

His eyes widened, and then he regained his composure, grabbed her right hand and pulled him to him, and opened his mouth to eat the kebab in her hand.

"It's delicious." He had a smile in his eyes.

"Hee-hee-hee." Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Come with me one more." He lowered his head and opened his mouth.

"No." Guo Xiaoxiao turned to the side, "I want to eat it and buy it myself." ”

He pretended to be pitiful: "Guo Xiaoxiao, you heartless and heartless." ”

"Who told you to use my father to blackmail me all day long?"

"Come here." He grabbed her wrist.

"Do what?"

"I'll take you to Star Dou Alley for a big dinner." He pulled her under the bridge.

"Hey, hey, slow down, I haven't finished eating yet."

"I didn't eat it, I threw it away."

"What a shame to throw it away." She nibbled on skewers as she walked.

"You're a big lady, you really don't have an image." He dragged her to Star Dou Alley.

Xingdou Lane can be called the most prosperous and luxurious street in Yangzhou, with a large area of shops, good service and great reputation.

Jiang Zhiyuan dragged her to a Hunan restaurant called "Lethe", and the store came to greet her in person.

"How many sons are there?"

"Just two."

When the shopkeeper saw Guo Xiaoxiao behind Jiang Zhiyuan, he immediately smiled and said, "You two upstairs, please." ”

The shopkeeper called Xiao Er and took the two of them to a corner on the third floor. Jiang Zhiyuan looked around and thought to himself, this store is really good at observing words and feelings. Seeing that there were two of them, a man and a woman, they arranged such a hidden and quiet location.

Xiao Er presented tea and menu: "Let's take a look, what dishes do you need?" ”

Jiang Zhiyuan opened the booklet and ordered, Guo Xiaoxiao only cared about looking at the scenery outside the window, beating gongs and drums opposite, babbling and singing.

Guo Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Er: "What are you doing on the other side?" ”

Xiao Er glanced out the window and said with a smile: "That's the Jinling Theater, and now it's singing." ”

"Oh?" Guo Xiaoxiao listened to it and asked, "What are you singing?" ”

Xiao Er listened carefully and replied: "Listening to the lyrics and tunes, it should be "The Legend of the West Chamber". ”

Jiang Zhiyuan said with a smile: "This little brother knows a lot. ”

Xiao Er lowered his head and smiled: "How can the little one know any opera, this "The Story of the West Chamber" has been sung for more than half a year, and it has to be sung every seven or eight days. The small one delivers food in this Hunan restaurant all day long, and I have listened to it no less than thirty times. ”
