Qin Zhiyuan stayed for dinner, and when he left, he arched his hand to Ye Lan and said: "In front of the restaurant that day, Mrs. Liu asked Qin if he still accepted students, did he mean Zixi?" ”

Unexpectedly, he still remembered, Ye Lan nodded: "Yes, Zixi has some skills, but it has been abandoned over the years, I think such a big child should still focus on reading." ”

"I didn't know the identity of Mrs. that day, how presumptuous it was, I don't know if Mrs. Liu is still willing to let Zixi be my student now?"

It was that day, and now Ye Lan was really hesitant.

Qin Zhiyuan's life experience is complicated, does he really care about the wealth of Houmen as a poor scholar? If Liu Zixi follows him, he will inevitably be involved in these things.

Before Ye Lan could speak, Liu Zixi on the side said first: "I don't study, I'm looking for my younger brother." ”

"You say you don't read." Ye Lan looked at him helplessly, "If you want to read books, you have to find your younger brother, can you find your younger brother without reading?" Now that there are no clues at all, you are blindly looking for them on the street? When I'm busy for this time, I'll be free, and when I'll have a lot of time to find my brother, you can give me peace of mind to study. ”

Qin Zhiyuan also heard Liu Zixi talk about his younger brother, and hurriedly said: "Qin will also pay more attention, hoping to find Zixi's younger brother as soon as possible." ”

"Qin Gongzi has a heart, thank you."

"Then I will say that I will teach my son Xi to study in the future."

Ye Lan: "Hmm...... Well? ”

Qin Zhiyuan's back has disappeared for a long time, and Ye Lan didn't figure it out, when did she agree?

Qin Zhiyuan, who left the Liu family, stood at the entrance of the alley for a long time, he knew very well what kind of child Liu Zixi was, Zixi would not lie to him, and no one would deliberately smear his mother.

But is the Mrs. Liu he saw really the same person as the mother in Zixi's mouth?

In just one month, the tea of Zhoujia Tea Shop has been quite prestigious, although it may not be comparable to the famous tea of major teahouses, but the price is affordable, and Zhoujia Tea Shop is now in full swing.

"Ye Lan has worked hard these days." Sister-in-law Zhou doesn't know when she changed her name from Aunt Liu to her name.

Tired must be tired, but Ye Lan doesn't feel bitter, firstly, making tea is something she likes, and secondly, now that her wallet is bulging, with money, she can do more.

"Good girl, sister-in-law has something to discuss with you, you see if it's okay." Sister-in-law Zhou took Ye Lan's hand, "In the past few days, several tea shops have come to ask me where I ordered the tea, and I said that it was my own tea maker, and they all wanted to rob me of people." ”

Hearing this, Ye Lan hurriedly said, "I won't go to another house." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou smiled: "I naturally know that you are good, but I also know that you have good craftsmanship, our temple is too small to keep you for a long time, so I thought about it, why don't you do it yourself, if you don't have the capital, I can borrow you first, but let's say okay first, the price you give us must be the lowest." ”

"Sister-in-law Zhou......" Ye Lan didn't expect Sister-in-law Zhou to think so much about her, and she was grateful, "Now that the spring tea season is just over, I'm not in a hurry, and I have limited manpower, even if I can't sleep until I can fry how much tea, I don't think so much about it for the time being." ”

Now finding the youngest son is the most important thing, Ye Lan naturally wants to expand the scale, the children are not adults yet, and there will be more places to use money in the future, but she herself feels that this is not the best time.

"Manpower is indeed a problem, if you pass on your craft to others, and you are afraid that it will be a white-eyed wolf, and it will be difficult to deceive your craft and make a fortune alone."

"I'm not afraid, I'm not a profound skill that can't be passed on, learn it, and a good tea doesn't rely on the tea maker alone, the source of tea is equally important, the environment in which the tea tree grows, the soil will have an impact, and there is also useful water and utensils, so I'm not worried."

"Then you ......"

"Don't hide it from Sister-in-law Zhou, something happened in my family, and I think the current incident is more important, so Sister-in-law Zhou, don't drive me away, just let me rest assured that I will rely on you."

Ye Lan can say this, Sister-in-law Zhou is indescribably happy in her heart, she is actually afraid that she will not be able to keep such a good craftsman, it is better to take a step back and be a good person to sell her personal favor first, it is better than her being recruited by other families.

"That's good, I'm not pretentious, you can stay in our house for as long as you want."

Liu Zixi saw that his mother didn't go to work in the past few days, and thought that he was driven back by the shopkeeper, he couldn't open his mouth if he had the heart to comfort him, and looked at his mother as if he didn't need comfort.

And Ye Lan looked at what he wanted to say every day but didn't say anything, and he was also puzzled, could it be that Qin Zhiyuan's side of the matter still affected him?

On this day, Ye Lan asked tentatively, "How do you feel about studying with your eldest brother Qin these days?" ”

"It's good, Brother Qin is well-read and knowledgeable, and I am very useful to what he teaches."

"Something else...... What do you do besides reading? ”

Liu Zixi suddenly frowned: "He always asks me about you and asks how you used to be." ”

“……”

"You told him everything?"

"Although I don't really want to talk about the past." Liu Zixi glanced at Ye Lan before continuing: "But Brother Qin is not an outsider, he asked me, and I naturally told him." ”

"Zixi, we still don't talk to others about things in our family, you see, I'm a widow, he asks me what I do, if someone knows about it, it will inevitably give birth to right and wrong."

Liu Zixi was right when he thought about it, and Brother Qin always mentioned his mother inexplicably, he was really not very happy in his heart.

Ye Lan's thoughts are much more complicated, she has always had reservations about Qin Zhiyuan, not only because of Qin Zhiyuan's complicated life experience, but also because he is an upright and humble gentleman on the surface, a poor scholar who only reads sage books, but Ye Lan always feels that it is not so simple.

She doesn't have a delicate mind, so such a person is still far away, but why does he frequently inquire about her?

Ye Lan has only met him a handful of times, if there is no Liu Zixi, the two will not have any friendship, he and Liu Zixi will just intersect, ask her what she does?

"Zixi, I've been idle these days, I'll send you to Qin Gongzi's house tomorrow."

"It's not that I don't know the way, and I still use you to send me?"

Ye Lan said seriously: "Now you are studying with Gongzi Qin, but I don't even know where his family lives, what if my mother has something to find you one day?" ”

"Okay." Liu Zixi responded, although he didn't think she would have anything to do with him.

Qin Zhiyuan lives in Tianshifang, and it is a coincidence that his home is on the street in the backyard of the Zhou family's tea shop.

Ye Lan pointed to Liu Zixi: "Over there, there is a Zhou family tea shop, and I will work there." ”

"So close."

Yes, it turns out that the two of them are so close every day.

Qin Zhiyuan was a little surprised to see Ye Lan, but he just smiled and invited him into the house.
