"Objects? Didn't you see it real, stuck in your underwear? The shopkeeper surnamed Lu wondered.

Chang Jingzhu stretched out three fingers meaningfully: "Three leaves." Then he drank alone.

"Leaves?" The shopkeeper surnamed Lu frowned slightly, and suddenly his body trembled. Chang Jingzhu patted his arm sympathetically and helped him stabilize his mind. The shopkeeper surnamed Lu took a long sip of the wine glass, and calmed the spirit: "Is it the necklace?" Didn't you run for your life in a panic and didn't get it at that time? ”

Chang Jingzhu replied with a full of wine: "I got it, but at that time, Brother Shi was a little selfish and didn't tell us." After many years, my brother felt guilty in his heart, so he told me about it, and said that he would make up some money for me, but I didn't ask for it. When I think of the scene, I am afraid that almost all the items related to that tomb have been lost, and I really don't want to be involved in the slightest bit. At that time, you lived too far away and it was inconvenient to come and go, so this time Brother Shi also asked me to be honest with you. Like the one that helped you pass the test earlier, most of it was our affection, and the small half was also guilty, don't blame the world's brother. ”

When the shopkeeper surnamed Lu heard this, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "I still wondered and suddenly cut off contact, it turns out that Brother Shi still has this ugly thing." We both thought about it, and I really didn't want to mess with those objects anymore, so how could I have a strange heart. Suddenly, he thought of something: "Is it okay for Yun Shi's nephew to wear it on his body?" ”

Chang Jingzhu heard this brother's words, knew that he was not secretly jealous and disgusted, and his heart also relaxed, and he raised his wine and drank another glass: "This is also what you inspected at the time, saying that it was not a yin and evil thing, and the world brother dared to take it." Later, when I found the senior monks of Liankong Temple, I also let them practice to exorcise evil spirits, and as for whether it was useful or not, those monks knew. But they have nothing to do with them all these years, and they simply passed it on to Xiao Qian as an heirloom. ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Lu was worried: "At that time, I only saw that this pendant was not an evil thing, and I didn't know anything else." Just this texture of stone, gold, wood, and tortoiseshell is confusing, and the shape is like a cluster of diamond-shaped leaves, each of which is carved with a vivid pattern. I looked up a lot of classics later, but I didn't get to the bottom of it. ”

Chang Jingzhu said with a smile after hearing this: "It's worthy of being an insider, I can see it really carefully, I can see three purple leaves, what is the hollow pattern?" ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Lu painted in the sky: "Above, a snowflake, the middle one is a bit like a dragon carp, and finally a four-legged square tripod." I can find some records of each pattern alone, but it is clear that it has nothing to do with these three leaves. Suddenly stunned, he waved his hand: "Forget it, it's time to hook out the addiction worms, it's all in the past, don't dare to think about it anymore." Yun Shi's nephew can stay by his side, it is his fate. Let's be lazy and live a decent life. ”

Chang Jingzhu looked up and sighed after hearing this: "Yes, fairy things can't be greedy, even if they are dead..."

As the saying goes, alcohol is crazy, and best friends accompany the spirit. Xu is worldly, longing for muddy, the two talked to each other, and drank until twilight.

After Yun Qian ate the second Chinese meal, he studied in the house and waited for the arrangement of the two uncles. After a long time, when he heard Uncle Chang Shi's drunken crying, Yun Qian scratched his forehead and sighed softly: "It's the third time." Then he put down his notebook and lay down on the bed, rubbing the pendant in his underwear from time to time through his clothes, and his mind was wandering.

As expected, the two uncles were hungover, and the shopkeeper instructed the maid to change the mattress, and fed the two of them some sobering soup, and spent the night busily. Yun Qian had nothing else to do in the house except for the maid who delivered the meal. Such a day is still very difficult for Yun Qian, a young man who has just arrived in a strange place.

……

Finally, after sending away Uncle Chang Shi, Uncle Lu began to introduce the pawnshop situation to this nephew who came from the study tour. After getting acquainted with the courtiers and ticket counters, he introduced a descendant, surnamed Dou Mingping, adults call him Xiaodouzi, two and a half years older than Yun Qian, the elf is smart, and he is quite popular with everyone, and even the shopkeeper also looks at him differently.

Yunqian's child's temperament is full of joy to meet a partner who is the same age as himself and is also an apprentice. Seeing this, the shopkeeper surnamed Lu privately raised Xiaodouzi's monthly fee by one percent, and instructed him to take Yunqian with him carefully. Dou Ping agreed, and he had a good impression of Yun Qian, a noble man from heaven.

After lunch, Xiaodouzi told Yun Qian about the rules of the line, and introduced the division of duties, pawnshop spring ceremony, folding techniques, etc. Seeing where he was ignorant, he dragged Yun Qian to the main hall of the pawnshop and performed in person. If you meet someone who comes to pawn, let Yun Qian stand behind the pledge rack and listen carefully, just like a teacher who preaches and spares no effort to preach, and a good craftsman teaches hard work.

Yun Qian, who officially embarked on the road of practice, is wholeheartedly waiting, and he is not stubborn, and he learns quickly. Uncle Lu Shiping will also take care of it personally, and occasionally take Xiaodouzi to teach business principles together.

……

Suddenly, a month has passed, and Xiaodouzi has changed from an apprentice to a "respectable" master, and he is really addicted. Yun Qian also learned a lot, and began to understand why the word "top businessman" slowly became a "profiteer".

However, he also felt that although the pawnshop was a bit of a trick to cut the value and operate secretly, it was also a kind of reliance for some people to cross the money pass, so he gave up his scholarly spirit and studied wholeheartedly. During this period, the relationship between him and Xiaodouzi became more and more intimate, and he also learned about the beginning of Xiaodouzi's apprenticeship here during small talk.

Xiaodouzi's family has an eldest sister and a younger sister, plus four mothers. His father and Yun Qian's uncle Chang Shi were driving in a car dealership. was killed by mountain bandits when picking up the daughter of a rich family during a pick-up and drop-off, and it was impossible to ask the government to clear it. Because of his relationship with Chang Jingzhu and the pity of the child, the shopkeeper asked him to stay as an apprentice and earn some monthly fees to supplement the family. His sister, who married out of Lushou City, is said to be living in poverty, only his mother and little sister are here.

Yun Qian felt compassion, took out five taels of the original twenty taels of gifts, and gave the silver money folded by claiming the "gift of bondage" to this bean master.

Xiaodouzi couldn't resist his persuasion of the clouds and mountains and fog covers, and finally accepted it. But after all, it's a lot of money, so when I asked my little sister to come to see him, I brought Yun Qian more noodles called "crunch box" at home. Yun Qian liked the crispy texture of this thing, so he accepted it.

On this day, Yun Qian was learning to read the accounts, maybe he had average business talent, but he was a little dizzy. Suddenly, I felt a tap on the shoulder, and when I looked up, I saw a delicate girl retracting her hand with a light smile. The girl's lips are long, her teeth are fresh, and she has a pair of buns on her head, she is the little sister of the Dou family, named Douqiao, and she is a month older than Yun Qian.

Dou Qiao saw that Yun Qian put down the thick account book, and said: "Xiao Qian, today is my birthday, my brother has been transferred to a ten-year holiday, and he wants to go to Taichi Street to buy jade bean cakes, let's go together", and then pulled Yun Qian out of the door. Talking about Yun Qian's mentality when he first came, he would naturally avoid words such as giving and receiving from men and women. But first, he was more familiar with her, and secondly, although Yun Qian was not emotional, he had a good impression of Dou Qiao in his heart, and let her lead her out of the backyard.

In the main hall, Xiaodouzi was smiling at the ticket counter, and when he saw the two of them coming, he answered to the ticket counter and said to Yun Qian: "Xiao Qian, today is my little sister's birthday, Taichi Street, I have a treat." ”

Yun Qian playfully said: "Walking." Dou Qiao chuckled, picked up the two and ran out of the pawnshop. When the ticket counter saw them go out, he smiled and sang: "The head bowl nursery, the quirky little daughter-in-law (one) position, the search (three) feet is not enough, and the foolish boy presses (two), and he is out of the way." "Continued to worship the court, and laughed for a while.

Chang Jingzhu, who came to find the shopkeeper of Lu, happened to walk in the door, and when he heard this, he also looked at it, and sighed: "It's better to be young." ”

……

The wind is lazy and the willows are green, the warm sun shines lightly on the flagpole white, the season is in Mengxia, Yun Qian and the three of them listen to the shouts one after another, enjoy the dazzling selling, eat the sweet and refreshing bean cake, from time to time praise and point, and are in high spirits.

For Yun Qian, this visit is a rare relaxation after a long period of hard work, and he is very happy, but the most jubilant of the three is naturally Douqiao. Although I have visited Taichi Street before, I can't buy it because I am shy in my pocket. This time, my brother patted his chest and said that he had saved a lot of extra money, so that she could enjoy her birthday, and when he saw his brother buy three jade bean cakes, he was relieved. After all, it is the heart to the brother, most of them only look at it and don't buy it, Rao is so, he is still satisfied, and quietly hopes that all this can go on for a long time.

It wasn't until the whole Taichi Street that it was almost noon, and Dou Ping suggested going to the east of the city to go through Taichi, and then find a restaurant to eat, Yun Qian and Dou Qiao readily agreed.

Taichi is not big, but in the past digging and construction also took some thought, the pavilion and pavilion corridor are exquisitely built, and there are steps coherently. Although it has not yet reached the height of summer, it is already full of grass and trees, reflecting with the green water, and the wind is pleasant. There is also a music workshop on the north side, called 'Huiya Garden', which is one of the most prestigious music workshops in the towns within a radius of 700 miles in the Baipan Mountain Belt, and the musicians from all over the world come to study in an endless stream all year round. Taichi is also because of the reputation of the cliff pavilion, and is praised as a famous scene by this city.

Because of the fatigue of legs and feet after turning around Taichi Street for a long time, on the stone road back to Yayuan Courtyard, Yun Qian and Dou Ping stopped running and walked leisurely, while Dou Qiao still jumped left and right like swallows. Yun Qian and Dou Ping looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they had to bow to the strength of this delicate girl. Just when the two were discussing whether to find a pavilion to rest their legs, they suddenly heard Dou Qiao sighing: "Oh, it's so pitiful."
