Chapter 12 A Chance Encounter in a Bookstore
"Brother, isn't there a class in the school today? How did you get out? Qingyan happily stepped forward and grabbed Liu Lanqing's arm and shook it.
"Today, there is a husband and grandson in the school, and the masters and sons have gone to drink the moon wine, and the school has a half-day holiday." Liu Lanqing paused and said, "Sister, why did you come to town alone, how dangerous is this, didn't my mother come along?" ”
"My mother is buying cloth in the shop opposite, my grandfather, grandmother, third uncle and Qingzhi are here, and my grandfather and third uncle are drinking tea in the teahouse in front." Liu Qingyan said it all in one go, saving Liu Lanqing from asking again.
The brother and sister chatted hotly, but the young man next to him was not happy, treating him as transparent!
"Ahem." The young man coughed violently.
Only then did Liu Lanqing notice his negligence, and hurriedly introduced to Liu Qingyan: "Sister, this is my classmate and friend Li Guang. ”
Li Guang opened the folding fan in his hand and squeezed it a few times in a chic manner.
Li Guang!
Hearing this name, Liu Qingyan's mind quickly floated the allusion of "Li Guang is difficult to seal".
Liu Qingyan glanced at the young man, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Li Guang is a generation of famous generals, known as "General Fei", a weak and polite scholar for Mao You is also called Li Guang!
When he laughed, he forgot the etiquette of this era, and greeted Li Guang casually, "Hello." ”
Hello? Is that a greeting? But what kind of etiquette is this?
Li Guang looked at Liu Qingyan curiously, only to see the girl in front of him smiling lightly, a pair of pure and smart eyes were radiant and radiant between Gu Pan, which was as morbid as Liu Lanqing said, and he lost his mind in an instant.
At this time, the shopkeeper and his buddy Xizi came over, saluted Li Guang together, shouted "Childe", and shouted "Liu Gongzi" to Liu Lanqing.
Li Guang came back to his senses, and the roots of his ears were slightly red.
Son? It turns out that this shop is a cheap brother's classmate! Liu Qingyan was very surprised, so she looked at Li Guanglai carefully.
"Red lips and white teeth, handsome, and a good family background", he quickly commented on Li Guang in his heart.
Li Guang is wearing a dark-patterned milky white wide-sleeved robe today, covered with a peach-colored cross-collar jacket embroidered with oleander patterns, with a hairband of the same color tied on his head, and a folding fan in his hand shaking and shaking.
The material of the robe Liu Qingyan recognized that it was brocade. When I was in college, there was a maverick girl in the same dormitory, who was learning a foreign language but walked on campus in Hanfu all day long, and the people in the whole dormitory were taught a lot of knowledge of ancient fabrics and clothing by her.
Brocade is the highest level in ancient fabrics, and ordinary people can't afford to wear it, but there is no cloth in this village just now, so I can't help but look at it twice, and conclude that this Li Guang's family is either rich or expensive.
However, she didn't have much interest, first, the age of both lives was not suitable, the previous life was too old, and this life was too young; The second is that she doesn't like this kind of weak scholar with the same white complexion as herself, it's too much of a sissy.
She loves mature athletic sunny muscular babies.
Li Guang saw that Liu Qingyan looked at his clothes longer than he looked at his face, and he was lost again, could it be that he was not good-looking enough? Just now, along the way, I obviously picked up a large basket of autumn spinach.
What a sorrow!
Kind stuff!
"Miss Liu, this is your thing."
Xizi took the packaged book and paper and handed it to Liu Qingyan, thinking that his son-in-law's classmate Liu Gongzi was the son of the master of the school, and this little girl was Liu Gongzi's sister, so she was also the daughter of the master, and it was natural that the master's daughter could study.
Liu Lanqing stretched out his hand to take the package and asked, "What books did my sister buy?" ”
Liu Qingyan replied: "It's just a few miscellaneous books of the travelogue type, I have nothing to do at home, I just want to read some miscellaneous books to relieve my boredom, these books are still lost to me by a daredevil, hehe." Then he repeated the bet he had just made.
After hearing this, Liu Lanqing said: "No wonder when I met Du Gongzi just now, his face was full of unhappiness, my sister should not bully people in the future." ”
Liu Qingyan replied, "I know." Then he said, "Let's go to the shop opposite to find my grandmother and mother, and then the cloth should be selected, and then we will go to my grandfather's together." ”
Liu Lanqing and his sister raised their feet and walked out, and immediately thought that they should talk to Li Guang again, so they hurriedly came back.
Li Guang waved his fan and said: "The cloth village opposite is opened by my cousin's house, let's go over together, my cousin said that he would come to the shop in the morning, just by the way." ”
So, the three of them walked together to the cloth village opposite.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xie's mother-in-law in the cloth village had already selected the cloth and were checking out, and when they saw Liu Lanqing, they hurriedly ran over and asked long and short questions, such as whether the food in the school was to the taste, whether the clothes were enough to wear, these questions that had been asked countless times, and pulled Liu Lanqing to see the cloth as new clothes in the past.
Liu Lanqing also introduced Li Guang to Mrs. Liu and Xie.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked Li Guang up and down and praised Li Guang for his good looks.
Li Guang was proud, opened the fan and shook it a few times, stretched out his hand and beckoned a guy over: "Go and call your shopkeeper Du." ”
The guy answered, and after a while, he brought the shopkeeper Du over.
"Cousin, how did you get free?" Shopkeeper Du made a gesture to Li Guang.
Li Guang put away the fan, pulled Mrs. Liu and Xie with one hand and said to Shopkeeper Du: "Shopkeeper Du, this is my master's mother and master's mother, all the cloth bought by the two of them today is in my account, which is considered a gift for me to meet my wife and grandmother." ”
The shopkeeper Du said: "How dare you disrespect your cousin's orders, and you should honor your master." ”
The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family hurriedly excused themselves, but if they celebrate the New Year's holiday, how could they accept heavy gifts from others for no reason.
Liu Lanqing also said anxiously: "Brother Li, how does this make the ceremony too heavy for us to want." ”
Liu Qingyan watched from the wall, taking in Li Guang's actions, secretly thinking that the narcissism of this product was inferior to herself, and she couldn't find the north if she was praised for being handsome.
Qingzhi tugged at Liu Qingyan's sleeve, leaned over and whispered, "Sister, why is this person dressed more fancy than the big girl, just like our big." ”
Big?
Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that the coat color of the rooster is not as bright as that of the hen! This metaphor is so apt that I gave Qing Zhi a big thumbs up in my heart.
Over there, Li Guang insisted on sending it, but the people of the Liu family insisted on refusing to accept it, and there was a stalemate and argument over this.
Shopkeeper Du is a good person, and hurriedly came out of the round field and said: "Even if it is the family of the eldest cousin, why don't you let me be the master, make a 20% discount, and send another piece of cloth?" It is also a little bit of our cloth village's heart. ”
This is half buy and half give, that is, it will not lose Li Guang's face, and the people of the Liu family are more acceptable.
When the Liu family heard this, they naturally said yes.
Li Guang no longer insisted, and asked the shopkeeper Du again: "Has my eldest cousin been here today?" ”
The shopkeeper Du replied: "The eldest prince was still there two quarters of an hour ago, but he is no longer there at this time, saying that he has resigned to Mrs. Li." ”
Li Guang jumped up when he heard this, and hurriedly said to the Liu family: "Senior grandmother, senior mother, I can't accompany each other today, and I will come to the door another day to make amends." ”
After speaking, he bowed to the people of the Liu family and rushed away.
At the checkout, the shopkeeper Du really asked the bookkeeper to give him a 20% discount, and gave another natural summer cloth, which made the folds on Jiang's face pile up again.
A summer cloth is four feet eight, enough for an adult man to make two robes, if you make shorts and shorts, you can make four sets, Buzhuang on the way to the teahouse, Mrs. Liu kept thinking in her heart.
In the teahouse, Old Man Liu and Liu Boyu couldn't sit still, and kept looking around.
Seeing the figures of a few people, Liu Boyu came out of the teahouse to take the cloth in Mrs. Liu's arms, and kept complaining: "Mother, you have been there long enough, my father and I have been to the toilet three times to drink tea, and our stomachs are full of water." As he spoke, he twisted his waist and let Mrs. Liu hear the sound.
Mrs. Liu slapped Liu Boyu's arm and scolded with a smile: "You father and son refuse to go, sit here and drink tea, but we have been there for a long time, so unreasonable." ”
Old Man Liu saw Liu Lanqing who came with him and asked, "Qing Yanzi, why don't you go to class in the school and what are you doing when you run out?" Where's your dad? ”
Liu Lanqing put the things in his hand on the wooden table in the teahouse and replied, "Dad went to the master's house in the school to drink full moon wine, and the school has a holiday in the morning." ”
Xie Shi also said: "Yes, Dad, I met Qing'er's classmate in the cloth village just now, and the cloth village was opened by Qing'er's classmate's relatives, and the shopkeeper not only gave a discount, but also gave our family a piece of cloth, which is a coincidence." ”
"Oh!" Old Man Liu was interested when he heard this, and asked Liu Lanqing: "Where did you come from, your classmate, there are such generous relatives in your family." ”
Liu Lanqing sat down on the stool opposite his grandfather, poured a cup of tea and drank it while replying: "My classmate has been studying at the same table with me for three years, and he is usually the best. I heard that his family was in business, and the business was very large, and there were many shops in the town alone, and there were also industries in the county and the prefecture, but this relative of Kaibuzhuang had not mentioned it before. ”
Old Man Liu listened, and then thoughtfully groaned for a while before he said: "Qing Yanzi, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, you must not look at people's family history when you interact with people, you can only intersect with him if you have a advantage to take advantage of, don't forget the integrity of a scholar." ”
When Liu Lanqing heard his grandfather say this, he knew that he was thinking about it, so he hurriedly put down the teacup and said: "Grandfather, don't worry, I remember our family's ancestral teachings firmly, how can my grandson be that kind of snobbish." Although my classmate is wealthy, he does not have the arrogance of the children of rich and noble families, and he has always been righteous. ”
"Grandfather, I can't blame my brother for this matter today, it's my grandmother and my mother who praise the handsome parents of the family, and they insist on sending the cloth to our family."
Liu Qingyan saw that Liu Lanqing was anxious, and came out to relieve the siege very righteously.
Liu Lanqing gratefully handed over the "Sister you are the best" look.
The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family looked at each other, and then they remembered that this seemed to be the case, so they told the old man the details of buying cloth in the cloth village one by one.
