On Changping Street, in the corridor of the backyard of the Meizhou County Ya, there are about six or seven large wooden boxes.

Shen Yun looked at the gloomy sky, then walked into the empty study, and asked, "My lord, the things have been packed up." Is it shipped over now? ”

Shen Ye was sitting in the circle chair reading a book, and nodded when he heard this, "Send it over!" Covered with felt cloth, this weather is afraid that it will rain. ”

"Yes." Shen Yun responded, "Your Excellency is free today, do you want to go over and take a look at the new mansion?" ”

Shen Ye put down the scroll he was holding, pondered for a moment, and responded, "Okay, then let's go over and take a look." ”

The clouds are shining, and the sky is low.

In Pingshun Restaurant, Xu Qinghe and others finished their lunch, settled the account and prepared to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, a carriage drove across the door. The group was about to go around, but saw Li Bozhou jump down from the carriage and follow Lin Cheng.

As soon as Li Bozhou got out of the car, he saw Xu Qinghe and others standing at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Cousin, long time no see." Is this just out of lunch? ”

Lin Cheng also smiled and stepped forward to salute.

Xu Qinghe nodded and said, "That's right!" If your brother-in-law arrives a little early, he can still treat you to a meal. After speaking, he introduced Wang Zhitong: "This is my brother-in-law, Li Bozhou, the young master of the Li Mansion. This is Lin Cheng, the owner of Pingshun Restaurant, and he should have heard of it when he came to Brother Wang. ”

Wang Zhitong hurriedly bowed his hand and said "Lucky meeting".

Li Bozhou and Lin Cheng also smiled and returned the salute and exchanged a few polite words.

Xu Qinghe looked at the grass clippings and wet mud on the wheels of the carriage, and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you and Brother Lin going out of the city?" ”

Li Bozhou nodded, glanced at Lin Cheng, and said with a smile: "I went to the medicinal herb Zhuangzi outside the city, Brother Lin has to take a look at the place where the Li family pharmaceuticals with his own eyes." ”

Lin Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Li, seeing is believing, hearing is false, I can only rest assured when I see it with my own eyes!" ”

Xu Qinghe didn't know about the lawsuit between the two, so he didn't praise it, so he looked at the two with a smile.

Wang Zhitong still had a lot to do, so he said goodbye to everyone and left around the carriage.

Lin Cheng said to Xu Qinghe: "Little sister came today, I happened to be absent, so I have to invite you next time." The chef in charge of the restaurant has recently released a few new dishes, and when the little sister comes again, I will invite you to try it. ”

Xu Qinghe replied with a smile: "Okay! Thank you, Brother Lin. ”

Li Bozhou looked at the gloomy sky and said to the two: "Brother Lin, I sent you back safely, and I will go back after the task is completed." Cousin wants to go home? I'll drop by to you. ”

Xu Qinghe didn't have anything important to do in the afternoon, and he was going to go home after lunch, but when he heard Li Bozhou's question, he replied: "Then I will trouble my brother-in-law to run." It's going to rain heavily, and I don't want to be a soup chicken. ”

So the two said goodbye to Lin Cheng and got into the carriage before and after.

Seeing Xu Yao still standing at the door in a daze, the little guy who was driving the car couldn't help but raise his horsewhip and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, come up and sit!" ”

Xu Yao came back to his senses, hurriedly ran forward, and sat down on the crossboard of the wheel.

In the slightly swaying carriage, the two sat opposite each other.

"Why am I watching my brother-in-law getting thinner and thinner?" Xu Qinghe said.

Li Bozhou touched his face when he heard this, his bones were prominent, and he really lost weight, "I've been so busy lately, my father has handed over a lot of business to me, so I don't have time to read books." ”

Xu Qinghe sighed, "It's just that I pity my family Jingshu newlywed Yan'er, but she keeps the empty boudoir alone......"

Li Bozhou listened to his cousin's faint sigh, and hurriedly washed away his grievances, "Cousin, it's really no wonder that little brother is here!" I'm doing my best every day now, so I'm going home early to stay with Jingshu. ”

"I went to the Li Mansion in the morning, and my cousin's smile was much less than before. It's a matter of desperation for you to get drunk while you're out of the house, I can understand that. But my cousin is still a bride, married into the strange Li Mansion, and stays alone in the deep courtyard every day, how cold and lonely it should be. Xu Qinghe continued to say quietly.

Li Bozhou fell silent.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe hurriedly added a few words, "When you go out on weekdays, if you see few people, take your cousin with you and take a walk around this Meizhou city." The two can also spend more time together. ”

Li Bozhou's eyes lit up, "Cousin's proposal is good." Sometimes I really don't have much entertainment, but I have to run around, so I can take Jingshu with me......"

Xu Qinghe nodded with a smile and asked again, "What business have you been doing with Brother Lin recently?" ”

Li Bozhou replied: "At first, it was grain and cloth, and later Brother Lin said that the Li family's medicinal materials were good, and he planned to buy a batch of ephedra and kudzu. Therefore, I will take him to the medicine village outside the city today. ”

"I see." Xu Qinghe said, thinking that his brother-in-law had just walked into the business, so he had to ask his cousin to mention a few more words, "Brother Lin is a clever man with a good tongue and is very good at calculation, so he can't afford to lose anything." When you trade with him, remember not to reduce the price too much. I was once bluffed by him to make two cents for a piece of cloth. ”

Li Bozhou laughed, "What kind of ** soup did Brother Lin pour into his cousin?" If a piece of cloth earns two pennies, wouldn't it be a loss! ”

Xu Qinghe smiled bitterly, "Stupid at that time!" I thought that with small profits and quick turnover, I could make some profits. He was asking for 9,000 pieces of silk cloth, and I was fooled by him and agreed to sell them at a low price. ”

Li Bozhou said: "I'm not as stupid as my cousin. However, at present, Brother Lin has not lowered the price much. He agreed to the price I quoted. ”

Xu Qinghe snorted strangely, "Isn't it that Brother Lin has changed his temper?" Why do you have to lower the price to death every time you trade with me! ”

"Haha, is it because you are a bully?" Li Bozhou teased unceremoniously.

Xu Qinghe shook his head helplessly, "There must be a reason for abnormality, you better be more careful......"

At this time, the carriage stopped, and the little servant shouted outside: "Young master, the Xu Mansion has arrived." ”

Xu Qing and the two got out of the car one after another.

Li Bozhou saw a familiar figure not far away, and said in surprise: "What a good day is today, I actually met the county magistrate to observe the people's feelings." ”

As soon as Xu Qinghe got out of the car, he saw Shen Ye standing with his hands in his hands, standing at the door of Liu's mansion, and three or two officials were moving boxes in and out. Hearing his brother-in-law's voice, he answered: "Brother-in-law will know if you go over and ask, I went to the house first." ”

Li Bozhou hurriedly said: "Don't! The cousin went with the younger brother to say hello to the county magistrate, otherwise it would be rude. ”

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to say to Xu Yao beside him: "A-Yao, you go to the house first, bring the pastries back to your mother to taste, and I'll be back later." ”

Xu Yao nodded in response and entered the Xu Mansion alone.

Then Xu Qinghe and Li Bozhou walked in the direction where the county commander was standing.
