Li Jiaoer walked slowly to the front store, and did not go out immediately, but lightly lifted the curtain between the front and back, and looked out through a slit.

There were a few pickers sitting by the door of the outer room, looking at the only customers in the store - they all walked on this street all year round, only to buy large quantities of large items for customers, so that they could make a hard-earned profit.

And the guest in the man's mouth, looking at the figure of the back should be less than thirty years old, dressed in a moon-white straight jacket, turned to a bogu frame made of sandalwood, and a man introduced him to the mystery of the bogu frame, from the choice of wood to the small mechanism.

"This is the design of our big proprietor back then, and these institutions can also be modified according to the wishes of customers."

The man listened carefully, bowing his head from time to time, and seemed satisfied.

But the man's expression was not good, he knew that this customer must be rich, and he was interested in this thing, not like he would buy it.

It's really strange that this Bogu frame and its corresponding furnishings, because of its clever privacy, can be regarded as the treasure of the Clever Pavilion Town Store, and many peers can't imitate it.

Literati and ink writers should like this kind of thing.

He was followed by two small servants, wearing satin and jade, and at first sight, he could know that his owner must have been born rich and noble.

Qin Le came out with a small Shih Tzu pot, took a sip of tea at the spout, leaned over Li Jiao'er to look out, and asked in a low voice:

"Acquaintance?"

Li Jiaoer could only see her back, and she couldn't recognize it, but there was a moment of side face just now, which really made her feel familiar.

"I guess I know."

She whispered, straightened her skirt, tied her hair, lifted the curtain and walked out, coughed lightly, and said:

"This guest obviously doesn't like publicity, and the set of sandalwood on display now is too rich."

The guy outside was clever and hurriedly said: "I'm confused, if the guests like this, they can be made of iron wood, wenge wood, beech wood." ”

As soon as the two of them spoke, the guest had already turned around and looked at Li Jiao'er.

Li Jiaoer happened to meet him.

The manhood is quiet and elegant, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, and a smile at the corner of his lips, but he looks at people with deep eyes, so that people can't see the depth.

"Cousin?" Li Jiao'er immediately recognized who he was, her heart was surprised, her face was just the right surprise, and she was busy squatting down at him and saluting, "How can it be Uncle Cousin?" It turned out to be a niece who didn't recognize it, cousin Ann. ”

His name is Du Day, and he is the nephew of Xue Zhen's grandmother's mother's family, that is, Xue Zhen's cousin, and he is a person with a lot of background.

The Du family lived in the East China Sea, for the scholarly family, and then in the troubled times after the fall of the previous dynasty, there were those who escaped from the world and lived in seclusion, and there were also those who devoted themselves to the heroes, but they did not achieve great causes, and after many twists and turns, they gradually declined in the chaos.

And this Du of Xue Zhen's grandmother's family, but a side branch of the Du family in the East China Sea, is not prosperous, and there are no famous people, but after he was transferred to the Zhao Dynasty, relying on the name of the Du family, he was still appeased by Gaozong, who had just been called the emperor at that time, and successfully formed a family with the Marquis of Anyang at that time.

It's just that the Du family is not obvious, and the Xue family back then was also very ordinary.

The title of the Xue family is because its ancestors followed the Zhao Taizu to raise troops together, and they sacrificed their lives to save the Taizu several times, but when Gaozong became the emperor and the world was at its peak, the Xue family was not only not prosperous, but the younger generations never had a star.

Especially Xue Zhen's grandfather, the current cultivator Anyang Marquis is not outstanding.

If you lose face to Gaozong, you should remember the old love, and you should just keep an idler.

In the world of great contention, if you don't plan to determine the world, you can take the country by force, it is said that according to the temperament of Anyang Hou, when he is gone, I am afraid that this role will come to an end.

Fortunately, he gave birth to a good son and a good grandson.

But Xue Zhen's grandmother did not wait for her son to show his talents, and when her only son was five years old, she was gone.

However, her maiden family, relying on the Xue family, gradually stabilized and absorbed a lot of people from the Chaoan clan to vote.

Du Day's family is one of the small branches, but it is the most famous one among the Du family members who entered the Zhao Dynasty - when he was nineteen years old, in the first examination of the current Jianlong Emperor's Imperial Examination, he ranked fifth in high school Jinshi, and he was also the youngest person in the top five.

With the name of the Du family, Emperor Jianlong was overjoyed, and decided that this was the context of the Zhao, and immediately called him into Hanlin.

It is said that Du Tian can rise to the top with this, but unexpectedly, the year after he became a jinshi, his wife suddenly fell ill and died.

Du Tian was so sad that he chose to hang up his official position, and wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, no longer marry, and not be an official.

Emperor Jianlong was very dissatisfied with this, but people at the time admired such actions, so he could only give him gold and silver today, and no longer mentioned him.

Du Tian was like a meteor above the temple of Jokhang, shining brightly in an instant, and then falling into the dust, and no longer remembered.

On the contrary, in Shilin, Du Tian is quite famous, and his experience has also attracted many celebrities to the show, which can be regarded as making Emperor Jianlong a little happier.

When Li Jiaoer was in the Hou Mansion, she only saw Du Tian twice, the first time was when she first got married, she wore a hijab and heard Xue Zhen call his cousin, and the second time was the 40th birthday of the county lord last year, Du Sun came to congratulate the county lord on his birthday.

And her impression of him was that after these two meetings, she listened to the lord of Xiaohui.

The lord of filial piety has a clear love and hate, so he admires Du Tian very much, but to Li Jiaoer's surprise, Xue Zhen also likes Du Day's behavior.

At that time, Li Jiaoer, who was depressed because she didn't like Xue Zhen, couldn't figure it out, and Li Jiaoer, who saw through Xue Zhen's indifference today, still couldn't figure it out.

How could Xue Zhen appreciate Du Day's personality? She felt that Xue Zhen was the kind of person who would kick her out of the car if the rebels came.

It is similar to Han Gaozu written in the history books.

But as a woman, Li Jiaoer sincerely admires Du Day, and also envies his deceased wife, who has won her husband's wholehearted love.

*

Li Jiaoer's thoughts were just fleeting.

And Du Tian saw that it was Li Jiao'er, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly smiled and replied: "It seems that I remember correctly, this is really the property of my nephew and daughter-in-law's family." It's just that at this time, how can my nephew and daughter-in-law be here? ”

Qin Le and the guys listened to the names of the two, and immediately understood-it turned out that this was a relative of the Shizi family, even if it was also after Zhong Mingding's meal, the scholarly family.

Qin Le immediately beckoned his men to pour tea for Du Day, and asked people to beckon Du Day's two little servants to rest and eat tea, and said to Li Jiao'er:

"The little proprietor and this guest, let's go to the private room, how tired it is to stand and talk."

When he was an outsider, Qin Le's name for Li Jiaoer changed.

Du Tian hurriedly thanked Qin Le for his enthusiasm and said, "There is no need to do this, I am now moving to the suburbs of Beijing to live, so I want to go around the shops in Beijing and order a few pieces of furniture." Since this is a nephew's business, it won't be wrong to think of something, so let's choose it here. ”

Li Jiaoer was even more surprised, and asked, "Uncle Cousin is moving to the suburbs of Beijing?" Where is it? Can you go to the mansion to meet the county lord? ”

Although she was curious, her tone was very ordinary, with respect, and she had a good grasp of the attitude of talking to elders who were not very familiar.

After all, she is not familiar with Du Day, only familiar with his story.

However, Li Jiaoer is beautiful and festive, and loves to laugh, as long as she is not a person who is prejudiced against her, she will feel close to her after only a few words.

The same is true of reclusive people like Du Day.

Therefore, he looked at Li Jiao'er, and the smile on his young face was kind.

"I just entered Beijing, and I haven't arrived at the Hou Mansion yet." He shook his head and took out a drawing from his sleeve, "I haven't even told my friends about staying in Beijing, and if the county lord knows, I'm afraid that Kyoto will find out, so wait a little longer." This is the interior and exterior layout of my humble room, and there are a lot of additions to be organized. ”

The guy hurriedly took the picture and handed it to Li Jiaoer.

Li Jiaoer opened it and took a cursory look, and she knew it in her heart.

It's really a bad room, looking at this cousin coming to Beijing, in addition to some yellow and white things and a small number of antique furnishings, the most is books.

Li Jiao'er gave the picture to Qin Le again, and said with a smile: "I know, the important thing is the books that my cousin brought, which has to be measured on the spot, so that I can do it carefully, I don't know where my cousin lives in the suburbs of Beijing?" ”

"Two miles east of Qingzhuang," Du Tian explained, "there is a spring and a plane tree that is closest to the mountain, and I like it." ”

Everyone in the store was stunned.

How is Qingzhuang? Not only is it a small place, but the land is not abundant, and it is also the place where the court detains the prisoners, and the people who are not allowed to live in the capital, such as Lehu, Youling, and prostitutes, also choose to live there.

It's not a good place to go.

When Du Tian said it, it was so natural that everyone didn't know how to comment for a while.

After Li Jiaoer was stunned, she admired Du Day's personality even more.

Foreign objects do not invade, do as you like.

She nodded and said, "My cousin is really a hermit's heart, and my nephew and daughter-in-law know it, and this matter is on the shop." ”

"Thank you, niece." Du Tian arched his hand, and his attitude was even more polite.

Qin Le watched from the sidelines, and sighed in his heart: This person is really Xue Zhen's cousin?

looks much more polite than Xue Zhen, and treats Li Jiao'er well.

She has a pure mind, and she has always been protective of her shortcomings, and she is always good to whoever is good to her, so she looks at Du Yante pleasing to the eye, but she can't stand their gentle talk, and hurriedly interjects:

"Okay, okay, the matter of buying and selling, what is this cousin doing so politely? The shop didn't say it didn't charge money. ”

In a word, Du Tian was dumbfounded, and then smiled.

Li Jiao'er couldn't hold back even more, covered her mouth and laughed, and said angrily: "Senior sister." ”

When Du Yan heard this, he hurriedly saluted Qin Le: "It turned out to be my nephew's senior sister, it's polite." ”

"It's a seniority, don't you dare to be, I'm the fourth shopkeeper of this family, all of them are raised by Mrs., and then call me a senior sister," Qin Le hurriedly returned the salute, handed the Shih Tzu pot in his hand to the guy next to him, and sleeved the drawing: "I don't need other masters, just let me take someone to go, I will go today, look at the guest is not an urgent child, since it is to be elegant and comfortable, it will take a month to keep it to the satisfaction of the guest." ”

Du Yan bowed his head, and his attitude was still humble and kind: "In this way, there is Miss Lao Qin, the salary and material money are only the same as usual in your store, and the girl also said that the matter of buying and selling cannot be polite." ”

"The guest is really a reasonable person." Qin Le said.

It's just that they are happy to discuss business and trade, but some people outside are not happy.

"Sister, look at her, she is really a craftsman, sour." A little girl in powder said to another girl.
