Chapter 476: The Aroma of Wine

After chatting for a while, Guan Wen and Wei Xingzhi also came back. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Wei Xingzhi carried a bamboo basket on his back, a long cage specially used for calligraphy and paintings, and Guan Wen helped him carry the wooden boards and table legs used for setting up stalls.

Li Xin carefully observed the expressions of the two, but he didn't see Guan Wen's anger, nor did he see Wei Xingzhi's annoyance and shame on his face. It's just that Guan Wen still doesn't seem to be very happy.

Wei Xingzhi said hello to Li Xin, and went to clean up the stall first. Guan Wen unloaded the wooden planks and table legs, took the water handed by Li Xin and drank it, breathing a sigh of relief.

Li Xin asked him in a low voice, "Did you really find Wei Shusheng in Xifang?" ”

Guan Wen paused, then nodded slightly.

Li Xin looked at him with a smile.

After a while, Guan Wen said helplessly: "Xin'er, what do you want to ask?" ”

Li Xin pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her voice and said, "The face before you left, it looked like you were going to catch a traitor...... "Didn't Aunt Wei say that Brother Wei was selling calligraphy and paintings in Xifang?" I don't know what the West Fang is. ”

Guan Wen slapped his forehead in annoyance.

"How?" Since he saw that Guan Wen was not annoyed, Li Xin also knew that Wei Shusheng did not do anything out of the ordinary, so he asked Guan Wen about it with some interest.

Guan Wen reluctantly pretended to wash his hands to avoid Ah Mei and Aunt Wei, Li Xin followed in a kind manner, and provoked Aunt Wei to joke with Ah Mei: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship, look at your eldest brother and sister-in-law, as soon as your eldest brother comes back, your sister-in-law will not leave him......"

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen with a smile and washed his hands, Guan Wen rubbed his palms and washed his hands, and then reached out and shook his hands, and then said: "He set up a stall selling calligraphy and paintings at the entrance of Xifang, and he saw it as soon as he went, and there was nothing offensive in broad daylight, but most of the people who came to him to buy calligraphy and paintings were people from Xifang......"

Guan Wen paused, and Li Xin understood that he was referring to the woman in the leather and meat business in Xifang.

Li Xin didn't know what to say immediately.

Guan Wen groaned and said, "Later, on the way back, I asked Brother Wei, and he said that he was in a hurry. He had to save some money quickly. He didn't want to come here, but he sold calligraphy and paintings here, and he got more money, and those women were willing to bid. So ......"

Li Xin hummed softly. Guan Wendao: "He said that he also went during the day, and when it was late, he collected the stall and came back when there were more people." It's really tiring to set up a stall to write letters to people at night, sell calligraphy and paintings at night, read and review books at night, or write and paint......"

.

Wei Xingzhi is a powerless scholar. There is no permanent property in the family, although it is said to be a showman, but the poor showman is poor and talented, and it costs to buy books and the four treasures of the study. Aunt Wei is old and can't work, and the burden of the family is on his young shoulders.

Guan Wen said: "I offered to give him money for the journey, but he refused. I said it was lent to him, but he still wouldn't ......."

Li Xin said: "He is a literati, and literati have some sour so-called dignity and arrogance...... Li Xin sighed: "Forget it." Leave it to him. Do you know how he is saving the money now? ”

"I asked, and all he said was about it."

Wei Shusheng didn't want to owe them too much, which was also a matter of self-esteem. Li Xin couldn't say anything either.

Wei Shusheng packed up and came out, and Aunt Wei pulled him to talk to him, which was the purpose of Guan Wen and Li Xin's visit today. Ah Mei stood on Wei Shusheng's side and lowered her head slightly to look at Wei Shusheng's toes, her face flushed with a shallow flush.

Guan Wen also told him the purpose of coming today on the way back with Wei Shusheng, Wei Shusheng was very calm, and helped Aunt Wei to thank Guan Wen and Li Xin with a smile.

Aunt Wei smiled happily, holding Ah Mei with one hand and Shusheng Wei with the other, looking left and right, only to feel that her hard days were over.

Although they gave birth to so many of them, in the end, they had to stand still. But seeing that his son is out of the picture, and his daughter-in-law is such a virtuous and gentle person, in the future, the son will be filial to his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law will raise a few more ...... She can be regarded as having an explanation for the ancestors and ancestors of the Wei family, and the Wei family can be regarded as a successor!

Li Xin and Ah Mei helped Aunt Wei clean up her things, and Guan Wen and Wei Xingzhi stood outside the courtyard talking.

"When are you going to go to the state capital?" Guan Wen asked.

Wei Xingzhi did the math. He said, "It should be four or five days later." Wei Xingzhi smiled: "My mother said that you should still look at the auspicious day of the zodiac when you travel, and you should find a suitable day to travel before leaving." ”

Guan Wen laughed and asked, "Then what did you originally plan?" ”

"I was going to leave the day after tomorrow."

"Since you will leave the day after tomorrow, why didn't you bring your aunt to our village?" Guan Wen looked at Wei Xing and knew: "Didn't you say it last time?" Something happened in my family during this time, and you almost didn't care about it. If we hadn't found it today, wouldn't you have left your mother and let your mother stay here, and you would have gone to the state capital by yourself? ”

Wei Xingzhi's face was slightly uncomfortable: "Brother Guan, I didn't mean this......"

Before leaving last time, it was clear that Wei Xingzhi was calling "big brother".

Guan Wen sighed: "We will be in-laws in the future, you are my sister-in-law, you don't have to see each other so much." ”

Wei Xingzhi bowed his head and remained silent.

Suddenly, Wei Xingzhi asked: "Brother Guan, I heard that Guan Liu is also going to the state capital to take the exam, has his itinerary also been arranged?" ”

Guan Wen was stunned.

Wei Xingzhi said: "My mother told me that if you have to go to the state capital, it is better to go together." Having said that, Wei Xingzhi did not have such an emotion in his tone.

Guan Wen tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "That's not necessary, he'...... I don't know where he is now. ”

Wei Xingzhi was taken aback: "Where do you start with this?" ”

“…… He and my father are no longer in the village. Guan Wen replied briefly, changed the topic and said, "It's you, Aunt Wei is going with us today, why don't you go with us." ”

Wei Xingzhi hurriedly shook his head: "I'll forget it......"

"If the entanglement is not enough, how much is missing, you say, I will add it to your sister-in-law and her sister-in-law." Guan Wendao: "The autumn day is approaching, and it is not a matter for you to go out early and return late every day to earn money." At that time, the entanglement was earned, but the autumn was delayed, and it should have been written but it couldn't be written, so it was called more than worth the loss. ”

Guan Wen looked at Wei Xing seriously and knew: "Take advantage of these few days, you should study and study, the countryside is so quiet, and the air is good." You smell the smell of alcohol in your neighborhood......"

Wei Xingzhi lowered his head.

"You scholars, you all say that you have backbone. I didn't say that the money was given to you for free, and when you have money in the future, it's not too late for me to pay it back. ”

Guan Wen tilted his head and asked him, "What do you think?" ”

Aunt Wei pushed open the door and shouted at Wei Xingzhi: "Xingzhi, my mother has cleaned up." ”

Wei Xingzhi hurriedly turned around, looked at Aunt Wei with a smile and said, "Mother, okay?" ”

"Alright." Aunt Wei smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Didn't say anything." Wei Xingzhi hugged Aunt Wei and said with a smile: "Mother has packed up, let's go to Lotus Village with Brother Guan and them." ”

Ah Mei followed out of the house, with a burden on her hand, and when she heard this, she immediately looked up at Wei Xingzhi, and just met Wei Xingzhi's gaze, and immediately lowered her head, plucked up her courage and said: "Auntie said that you will leave in four or five days, so you will be at home alone during this time......"

Li Xin answered: "Brother Wei, go back to Lotus Village with us, you can't earn much money in four or five days, all the time is used to earn money, you don't even look at the subset of scriptures and history, how can you take the test in Qiuyu?" ”

The corners of Wei Xingzhi's mouth stiffened slightly, and he heard Li Xin say in his ear: "You also said before that you are not very good at strategy, what you are good at is poetry, which must be read and memorized by heart." There are not many days left in the autumn, so you should still carry it for a while. ”

Li Xin treats Wei Xingzhi as a high school student facing the college entrance examination, and she should reduce pressure at this time, she also wants Wei Xingzhi to relax a little.

In fact, selfishly, Li Xin didn't want Wei Xingzhi to have much success. If Ah Mei becomes an official wife, she will face more pressure from all parties in the future. If your own man is on the rise, I am afraid that he will be even more remembered. His colleagues in the court and some of the petty merchants and officials who wanted to curry favor with him...... All kinds of people who want to have a relationship with him will definitely find ways to give gifts and money to women.

Ah Mei should have a hard time coping with this.

Li Xin looked at Ah Mei, her face had a healthy and shy luster that a girl should have, especially when facing Wei Xingzhi, she was even more naturally shy.

Guan Wen persuaded again, and Aunt Wei took Wei Xingzhi's hand and said, "Xingzhi, just listen to Ah Mei and her eldest brother and sister-in-law." Don't get too tired......"

Wei Xingzhi smiled reluctantly, and finally agreed: "Then listen to Brother Guan and Sister-in-law Guan." ”

Li Xin faintly felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about it, he didn't feel anything wrong.

Wei Xingzhi also simply packed up his baggage, brought two changes of clothes and a set of four treasures of the study, as well as some books, and planned to go over there to flip through them.

came out of Wei's house, and Wei Xingzhi locked the door of Wei's house.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Xin suddenly saw someone coming out of the corner next door.

Second Sister Qiao looked like a withered body, and her eyes were wide as she looked at Aunt Wei and the others, looking a little scary. Immediately, the fierce man Li Xin had seen appeared behind her, pulled Second Sister Qiao back, and scolded: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and buy wine for my brother! ”

Wei Shusheng frowned suddenly, and Aunt Wei sighed: "I don't know what kind of man this Second Sister Qiao is marrying, and she has already called friends for her friends when she drinks at this time......

"Auntie, let's go." Li Xin lifted the corners of her mouth shallowly, and asked Ah Mei to help Aunt Wei out of Jiuzi Alley, standing at the entrance of the alley and waiting for Guan Wen to call a carriage.

And Wei Xingzhi looked back frequently, and said in a low voice: "Will Second Sister Qiao be tortured by her man and can't live......

"No, it won't." Li Xin said.

As he was talking, Guan Wen had already pulled the carriage and asked everyone to get into the carriage.

Before getting into the carriage, Wei Xingzhi glanced at Jiuzi Lane again.

That very strong wine aroma, Q
