Chapter XVII

Shi Jin turned his head and put the big bags and small bags on the table, and then he respectfully blessed Cui Xiucai, "Mr. Adeduo has to take care of him, and Shi Jin has thanked him for this." ”

Although it is claimed to the public that the two are cousins, in the end, it is the friendship of the outer eight suits, and Shi Jin calls him Mr. in private.

Cui Xiucai was willing to accept Shi Jin's gift, and hurriedly staggered, "Miss Shi Jin is polite." In the past, my mother was sick, and I had to take care of the girl, but Xiaosheng should say thank you. ”

After the two finished politely, Shi Jin saw that the handwriting of his brother on the rice paper on the desktop was much more beneficial than before, and he knew that Cui Xiucai had a lot of intentions for his brother.

carefully checked the pulse of Ah Di, and listened to Cui Xiucai read about Ah Di's recent life, and the smile on Shi Jin's face was two more points.

She took out the money left over from her purse for medicine and food and put it on the table, "There are more than 300 yuan here, which is counted as my brother's food expenses, and Mr. Lao bothered about it." ”

Cui Xiucai was willing to accept it, and only pushed the money back, "It's not worth it!" I'm now begging for a teacher's worth, barely making ends meet. There was still a surplus of money left here by the girl, so there was no need to add more. ”

Shi Jin saw that Cui Xiucai's words were sincere, and there was no dissatisfaction in his words, so he no longer insisted, and only took out the new clothes that were made with the two of them, and let the two of them try to see if they could fit.

Because of the great defense of men and women, she went out of the house and stood by the door, waiting for the two to change.

Naturally, he was overjoyed, and was immediately helped by Cui Xiucai to change into new clothes, so happily took the pastries and sat at the table waiting for Xiucai.

Cui Xiucai's clothes are made of stone blue silk fabric, which is not gorgeous when eye-catching, but it is secretly embroidered with patterns, and it is made into a Confucian collar and long placket, which is quite free and easy to wear.

Slowly opening the door, Shi Jin turned his head and saw Xiucai wearing new clothes.

Cui Xiucai's appearance is already elegant, and he has a bookish atmosphere, and when he wears this clothes, he is even more radiant and quite good.

Shi Jin saw that the clothes on his upper body were not big or small, and they fit properly, so he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied. couldn't help but say, repaired the holes in the long shirt that Cui Xiucai had replaced, and washed the clothes of the two, Shi Jin stopped the work at hand under Cui Xiucai's repeated requests, thinking about making some food for one big and one small to replenish the body.

"Rest! It's rare to have a day off, so it's better to spend more time with my brother. Cui Xiucai laughed at her, "A new wonton stall has opened by the Dangyang Bridge on the other side of Wai Seventh Street, which is really delicious, and even some rich and noble mothers and maids like to buy a bowl and bring it to the house." Brother Nian and I were going to go out to try it today, and you can be considered a blessing! ”

After hearing this, Shi Jin also felt that it was appropriate to take care of his clothes, took Shi Nian's hand, and went out with Cui Xiucai.

Shi Nian couldn't help but be overjoyed, holding his sister with one hand and Xiucai with the other, all the way forward. Although he still had some cough, it was warm and deep, and his health was okay.

Walking out of the alley and turning to the avenue, Shi Jin was suddenly a little dazzled.

Although the south of the city is not abundant, it has more rare fireworks for the rich and noble. There are juggling, sugar gourd, mung bean cake, rouge gouache, colored papa, daily necessities, rice, grain, wine and meat...... And so on.

Although it is not a good object of great value, it is a rare moment of relaxation.

Shi Nian was obviously very excited, pointing to the grasshopper made of straw and wanting to buy it, Shi Jin laughed at him, "Aren't the toys I made for you bad in the past?" I just like this. ”

When I looked at my sister and grasshopper, I was in a dilemma.

Cui Xiucai said with a smile, "It's rare to relax for a while, don't be too demanding." ”

After that, he actually handed a penny to the old man who sold straw weaving, and picked a mighty and majestic grasshopper for Shi Nian.

Shi Nian Huanhuan took it over happily, and called Shi Jin helpless. had the heart to return the money to Cui Xiucai, but in the end he felt that it was a bit raw, so he put down his thoughts for the time being.

Along the way, the closer you get to Dangyang Bridge, the more wild and interesting the surroundings are.

In the area of this bridge, there are green willows, and there is a river passing through the bridge, looking from a distance, you can see some tables, chairs and benches under a large willow tree by the bridge, and some diners are eating with bowls.

There are those who don't have seats, sitting on the floor with bowls, but quite contented.

Shi Jin couldn't help but have some excitement about going out. The three of them came slowly, and saw that the one who was making the wonton was a young lady, who was wrapping the wonton with her hands and feet at this time.

The brocade-clothed boy sitting at a table by the river shook his fan and poked his friend next to him, "Huh? Here comes a good little lady Peugeot, Tianyi, you take a look. ”

Qi Tianyi, who was facing away from Shi Jin, turned his head and saw Shi Jin and Cui Xiucai in the coarse cloth thorn skirt, and a half-grown child in their hands.

Qi Tianyi was stunned, he was also well-read, and at a glance, he recognized that the woman was the maid in the second uncle's yard, and also the woman who had a relationship in the lotus terrace flower pond.

As if feeling something, Shi Jin turned his head and saw Qi Tianyi looking here. She said hello to Cui Xiucai, then bypassed a few tables, came to Qi Tianyi, and blessed her body, "Please second son." ”

The brocade-clothed boy couldn't help but wonder, "Do you know him?" With that, he pointed at Qi Tianyi.

Shi Jin only smiled and said, "The slave maid is the maidservant girl in the second master's courtyard of the Marquis of Jing'an, so she naturally knows the second son of Qi." ”

"I said that whose little lady is so peugeot, is actually the maid in your house." The brocade-clothed boy couldn't help but smile and said, "Now that we're out of the Hou Mansion, let's be more comfortable, the little lady wants to share the table?" ”

The wonton stall here is full, and this is the table, which he used to get the money. The words of the boy in brocade are very kind.

Shi Jin bowed slightly, "Thank you for the kindness of the son, the slave and maid are reunited with their families, it doesn't hurt to wait for a while, but there is no need to spare the sons' Yaxing." ”

After that, he resigned from the second son again and walked slowly in the direction of Cui Xiucai.

The brocade-clothed boy touched the tip of his nose, "I was kind at the beginning of my life, but I was politely rejected by the little lady." ”

Qi Tianyi only pinched the wine cup and took the wine, because he smiled, "Hurry up and take back your thoughts!" Carefully, my second uncle knocked on the door. ”

"Qi Er, don't bluff me! It's just a maid, how dare your second uncle? Although the brocade-clothed boy said so, he didn't dare to look at Shi Jin.

Qi Tianyi only looked at him, "You can give it a try." ”

"You don't have to!" The boy in brocade raised his neck, put a glass of wine into his stomach, and all his thoughts were gone.

This stopped at this point, Qi Tianyi glanced at Cui Xiucai, and his heart flashed away.

Seeing that this wonton stall was really popular, Cui Xiucai swept two steps to be a seat by the shade of a tree on the side of Dangyang Bridge, and the three of them asked for wonton, so they sat on the steps and waited.

At this time, the sun was in full bloom, and fine beads of sweat oozed from Shi Jin's forehead, afraid of the heat and damaging her brother, she took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for her brother. The child could not be idle, and after a while, he turned around and twisted his feet.

Shi Jin couldn't, so he had to tell him not to stay away, just play nearby.

When the year was ordered, he cheered and ran to the lawn not far away to play.

Seeing that his younger brother rarely showed his lively side, the corners of Shi Jin's mouth turned slightly, and he turned his head to ask about Cui Xiucai's schoolwork at that time.

"At that time, he was smart, he had already finished learning the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", and was reciting the "Disciple Rules". Cui Xiucai smiled, and his eyes also shone brightly, "It is a good seedling for reading, and Xiaosheng should do his best to teach him." ”

While the two were talking, Shi Jin turned his head and saw Shi Nian squatting on a boulder by the river, leaning out to reach the river.
