In the garment shop, the little guy saw that someone came to the door, and he was still a messenger of the military guard, so he hurriedly greeted him, and shouted with a smile: "Yo, your guest is here!" This poor man, do you want to pick out ready-to-wear clothes or do you want to tailor-made? What kind of introduction do you want, a small one? ”

Hearing the voice of the little guy at the door, at the counter, the shopkeeper who was checking the account book and Bai Qianqian both looked at the door at the same time.

Cheng Jingling's gaze was opposite Bai Qianqian's, and in Bai Qianqian's slightly surprised expression, Cheng Jingling beckoned and smiled: "Aunt Bai, I'm here." ”

Bai Qianqian walked out of the counter, waved her hand to signal the little guy to leave, stood in front of Cheng Jingling and looked up and down, then covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's Xiao Cheng, I almost didn't recognize you." After you put on this bad suit for the guard, you're quite energetic, and it's just two people to keep up with the last time. ”

The last time the two met, Cheng Jingling had just moved from Liu's Mansion to West Eighth Street, and he was wearing coarse linen clothes that only the lowest poor people would wear, plus he was working, and he was dirty, how could he be so handsome and heroic today.

In fact, Cheng Jingling's figure is strong and straight, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and good facial features, he can be regarded as a handsome young man. Although there is always a hint of innocence and honesty on the face, it gives people a sense of down-to-earth simplicity, which is easy to believe and intimate.

Cheng Jingling scratched his head, revealing his signature smirk, and responded: "Aunt Bai hasn't changed much, she is still as beautiful as a few days ago." ”

Today's Bai Qianqian is wearing a pale yellow gauze skirt, her hair is tied up in a high hairpin, her skin is contrasted by the orange light and becomes more and more white and translucent, Yi Yixi's face is painted with drooping eyebrows, painted with light red lip grease, and with a slight smile, a few white teeth are exposed, and the color of the lips is more and more bright and attractive.

In Cheng Jingling's short life experience, Bai Qianqian can be said to be the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, more beautiful than Liu Xiaowen - or the two have their own merits, but Cheng Jingling admires Bai Qianqian more.

In fact, when they first met, although they were amazed by Bai Qianqian's appearance, Cheng Jingling didn't have too many thoughts in his heart. It was only when Bai Qianqian asked him to call himself Aunt Bai that Cheng Jingling's heart felt a trace of inexplicable throbbing.

Later, I learned that Bai Qianqian was thirty years old and had a seven or eight-year-old daughter, and her husband died before the child was born...... These things should have been a minus for women, but they made Bai Qianqian suddenly shine a little in Cheng Jingling's heart.

Cheng Jingling couldn't tell what kind of feeling this was, it was very special, and he had never experienced it in Liu Xiaowen.

Although he and Liu Xiaowen grew up together since childhood and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, Cheng Jingling's positioning for her has always been a friend, and there has never been a relationship between men and women.

But for Bai Qianqian, who has only one side, it is different...... Cheng Jingling doesn't know if it's because he lost his mother since he was a child, so it's easier for him to have a good impression of mature women older than him.

Bai Qianqian looked at the boy with a green and innocent face, the smile on her face became stronger, and she quipped: "The mouth is quite sweet, come, sit here." ”

As she spoke, Bai Qianqian raised her hand and brought Cheng Jingling to the side.

In the corner of the shop, there is a table and a few small stools, which should be used for the guests who are tired of trying on clothes, and at this time a little girl with pink carving is lying on the table, holding a brush and writing seriously.

The girl was very involved in writing, or maybe it was because there were often people coming and going in the shop, so she didn't notice it when the two walked to the side.

The two stood by and watched, it turned out that the little girl was doing arithmetic, and at this time she was writing and calculating a difficult problem, and she frowned.

Suddenly, the little girl sniffed her nose, then turned her head sharply, and said with a smile: "Mother! I smell you! ”

"Yes, our family has the most intelligent nose!" Bai Qianqian smiled and bent down and hugged the girl.

The girl's facial features are delicate and cute, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, her eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points similar to Bai Qianqian, she is very delicate and beautiful, it is Liu Qingyan, the daughter of Bai Qianqian and Liu Sheng.

Resting on Bai Qianqian's shoulder, Liu Qingyan's big smart eyes turned to Cheng Jingling, and asked curiously, "Mother, who is this uncle?" ”

Bai Qianqian got up, took Liu Qingyan's hand, and introduced gently: "You can't call you uncle, you should call me big brother." He is our new neighbor and lives in the next six households. ”

"Hello big brother, I'm Yanyan!" Liu Qingyan stretched out his hand very actively and greeted Cheng Jingling.

Putting away the saber at his waist to the back, Cheng Jingling bent down and said cordially and seriously: "Hello Yanyan, I have just arrived, and I want to ask you to take care of me in the future." ”

"No problem!" Liu Qingyan first patted his chest and accepted the big package, and then turned his head to look at Bai Qianqian, and said suspiciously: "But, mother, didn't you say that the six households are my grandfather's family?" It's just that grandpa has something to do outside, and he hasn't had time to come back, how did it become a big brother's house? ”

Bai Qianqian looked stunned when she heard this, and was thinking about how to explain, when Cheng Jingling next to her answered for her: "That's right, it's your grandfather's home, and it's also the grandfather of the eldest brother, and our grandfathers are the same person." Grandpa will be back in a few days, and you will be able to see him then. ”

"Huh?" Bai Qianqian looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Cheng Jingling nodded and explained: "I have already worshiped my predecessors as my godfather, in two days, I am going to have a banquet at home for grandpa, Brother Wang Snake and Aunt Bai, grandpa said that he will also call a few of his friends to come together, and you all know each other." I just came back from my grandfather's, and when I passed by and saw Aunt Bai in the shop, I specially came to inform you in advance. ”

"What?" Bai Qianqian's reaction was great, first surprised, and then said angrily: "Why do you call the king snake brother and me aunt?" Pingbai is a generation older than him, and you will call me Sister Bai in the future! ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Qianqian cared about this the most, but didn't she have to call her Aunt Bai herself?

Cheng Jingling was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a smile and refused: "Brother Snake is a few years older than me, I can't call him uncle." And I now call my predecessor grandpa, you call him uncle, it's not appropriate for me to change my name to call you sister, it's good to call me Aunt Bai. ”

Bai Qianqian frowned, staring at Cheng Jingling intently, Cheng Jingling's gaze did not dodge, and looked at Bai Qianqian head-on.

After a while, Bai Qianqian smiled "poof", waved her hand and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you." When I first met you before, I knew that Uncle Gu was very optimistic about you, otherwise he wouldn't have given you this yard to live in, but I didn't expect to recognize you directly as a godgrandson. Speaking of which, it's really right to ask Yanyan to call your brother. ”

"I'm right to call your aunt." Cheng Jingling took over and provoked Bai Qianqian's eyes.

The two chatted a few more words, Bai Qianqian agreed to Cheng Jingling's invitation, and would go to the banquet in two days, and then handed Liu Qingyan over to him to take care of, and went to the counter to reconcile the accounts by herself.

Liu Qingyan is more than seven years old, which is the age when he went to private school. The children in this world go to private school basically to be literate, learn "Wenkuojing", and learn arithmetic, and what Liu Qingyan did at this time is the arithmetic homework left by Mr.

Cheng Jingling went home left and right without incident, so he was not in a hurry to leave, and sat down to help Liu Qingyan do his homework.

I have to say that Cheng Jingling has a set of tutoring and learning, after all, he has been tutoring Liu Xiaowen to study since he was a child, and later he has a booster login, and he has taken over a lot of tasks to replace learning and listening to lectures, so he has a lot of experience in this.

With Cheng Jingling's guidance, Liu Qingyan, who was racking his brains to fight against black and white, was much easier, and soon completed all the homework that was left behind.

As night wore on, the streets outside were less crowded and the shops were ready to close.

Bai Qianqian, who had finished the account, came back and saw Cheng Jingling and Liu Qingyan, one older and one younger, laughing and playing, and the homework that had been done was neatly placed on the table.

Bai Qianqian's slightly tired expression showed a little surprise, and she stepped forward to look through it, and found that the homework left by Mr. was indeed finished, and it was completed very well, and there was still the handwriting left by Cheng Jingling during tutoring on the waste paper next to her.

Cheng Jingling's handwriting can be said to be excellent, after all, he helped the eldest lady write homework since he was a child, and later traveled to many worlds to do ghostwriting and copying coolie lists, copying dozens or hundreds of articles and classics at every turn, and no one with talent can practice a good hand.

What's more, Cheng Jingling's talent is excellent.

Combining the characteristics of calligraphy in multiple worlds, Cheng Jingling has created a font of his own, and in calligraphy, he can already be regarded as the grandmaster of the founding school.

So Bai Qianqian was very surprised when she saw Cheng Jingling's handwriting, looked at the paper in her hand, and then looked at Cheng Jingling, who was having fun with Liu Qingyan in a military guard uniform, Bai Qianqian said in disbelief: "Xiao Cheng, this is your word?" It's so good-looking, what kind of font is this? ”

Cheng Jingling stopped fighting with Liu Qingyan, raised his head and replied: "It's just that I wrote it by myself, and I don't know what font it is, Cheng Ti?" Hahaha! If you have to say what font it is, it can only be regarded as Cheng Ti, Cheng Jingling's Cheng. ”

Figured it out yourself?

Body?

I believe you're evil!

Bai Qianqian didn't believe it, but she had to believe it, because she really hadn't seen this font, and Cheng Jingling didn't need to lie to her.

Cheng Jingling didn't care much about this, and when he saw Bai Qianqian standing in place and falling into self-doubt, he got up and stretched his waist, and said slowly: "Is the store closed?" Go home? ”

"Let's go!" Bai Qianqian came back to her senses.

The store was closed, the little guy closed the door and locked it, and waved goodbye to a few people.

Cheng Jingling and Bai Qianqian took Liu Qingyan, two big and one small, and the three walked along West Eighth Street in the direction of home.

Liu Qingyan held Cheng Jingling with his left hand and Bai Qianqian with his right hand, happily raised his legs, and let the two of them carry her away, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

The two teased and took care of Liu Qingyan while chatting.

Bai Qianqian stroked the broken hair scattered in front of her forehead, and chuckled: "I really didn't expect that you, a person who practices martial arts, are still so good-looking." ”

"You know what it means to be both civil and military this time, right?" Cheng Jing said proudly.

Bai Qianqian gave him a roll of the eyes angrily.

Cheng Jingling lowered his head and saw Liu Qingyan jumping happily from side to side, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and his tone changed to seriousness: "Actually, a few days ago, I was still a private slave, the private slave of the Liu family, yes, the Liu family who sold grain in the north of the city......"

Hearing this, Bai Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise, and she turned her head to look at him as if listening to a book from heaven.

Looking at the road under his feet, Cheng Jingling continued to take care of himself: "I fled to Juma City with my father and mother during the famine twelve years ago. My father and mother died outside the city, and I was taken as a private slave by the Liu family. Thanks to our eldest lady, who took care of me a lot, I was able to have the opportunity to read and write, practice martial arts...... In order to get rid of slavery, a few days ago, after I practiced the power of qi and blood, I went to the martial arts test to participate in the martial arts test, and I met Brother Snake and Grandpa ......"

Cheng Jingling narrated his experience, except for Liu Qingyan's jumping sound on the quiet street, it was his soft-spoken narration.

In fact, he felt that his former status as a private slave was very unbearable, but he did not hide his past. Because the ancient and modern times and the king snake know, sooner or later Bai Qianqian will also know, it is better to say it yourself, and it seems frank.

Bai Qianqian patiently listened to Cheng Jingling's narration, and looked at Cheng Jingling with a look of admiration: "You can write this good hand just by secretly studying, and no one can teach yourself to practice qi and blood, you are indeed worthy of the four words of Wenwu Shuangquan." Now that there is no shackle of identity, I believe that the day when you will soar to the sky and achieve your ambitions is not far away. ”

"Then borrow your auspicious words from Aunt Bai."

"Hey, call me Aunt Bai now, when you develop in the future, won't you not know me?"

"No, at most, I won't call you Aunt Bai."

"What's that calling me?"

"Xiaobai."

Bai Qianqian raised her hand and gently slapped Cheng Jingling, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The mother laughed, and Liu Qingyan laughed too.

For a while, only the crisp laughter of the little girl "giggled" was left on the street.

After sending the mother and daughter home, Cheng Jingling returned to his yard.

In the laundry tub in the courtyard, there were still clothes soaked in the morning, Cheng Jingling hurriedly stepped forward to scrub them clean, and took out the gift money given by the king snake yesterday in the clothes.

The red envelope has long been soaked and rotted, revealing the golden color inside, which is a piece of money.

Cheng Jingling took out the money bag that Gu Jin had given him today from his arms, and opened it to see that it was golden, a whole bag of money!

Pour out the money and pass it one by one, there are thirty coins! He never dared to think that he would have such a huge amount of money one day!

Thirty coins, which is converted into three thousand silver coins and three hundred thousand copper coins!

An ordinary civilian family, without eating or drinking all his life, may not be able to save so much money!

Putting the thirty-one gold wallets in his hand and preparing to put them under the bluestone at the bottom of the bed, Cheng Jingling suddenly remembered the money he had turned out by Liu Wei before...... Suddenly, I felt that it was too dangerous to put such a huge amount of money under the bed, and decided that it would be better to deposit the money in the bank tomorrow.

Lying on the bed, Cheng Jingling was stunned for a while with a smile on his face, then turned on the booster login and looked for a task in the billing hall, but now he can only take some coolie orders. But when his cultivation and martial arts level go up, I believe that he will soon be able to take over the cultivation and combat orders.
