These days, Jiang Fan has been busy working in the nursery, and he has to change the seedlings for the courtyard of the old patron, and he is so busy that he can't take care of going back to home, and he goes out early and returns late when he returns, Jiang Nian feels that he hasn't eaten with his father for a long time.

Fortunately, today is the day when Yuming should come back, and there is still hope.

Yesterday, after receiving the shop, Jiang Nian went to Ji Xiang Store on Fulai Street to buy fried melon seeds and pine nut candy, and waited to eat while listening to the story today.

As soon as the door opened in the morning, Jiang Nian put the food on the table and sat in the shop waiting for the jade tea.

When the sun was up, no one came.

After lunch, he continued to wait with his head propped up, and Jiang Nian was about to fall asleep.

Finally, Yuming, the son of Pianpian Jia, is back.

Today he was wearing the same white dress as before, and he looked very chic.

As soon as he sat down, he shouted, "Get me some water to drink, I'm not thirsty on the way." ”

Jiang Nian hurriedly poured water for Yu Ming, "Why are you only here now, I've been waiting for you all morning." ”

Yuming drank all the glass of water before saying, "Hey, I want to leave early, too." But Miss Cui's lover is here, and I always have to see what it looks like before leaving. ”

"Ah, Lover, but you are married, did you bring it home like this?" Jiang Nian hurriedly sat down when he heard this, pulled Yu Ming's sleeve and asked him to speak quickly.

"It is said that the surname is Wu, what is the name, Gu Feng. Miss Cui shouted 'Brother Gu Feng, Brother Gu Feng', tsk, I heard my leaves stand up. ”

Yuming shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, looking very disdainful.

Hearing that Miss Cui was so active, Jiang Nian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What does he look like?"

"He looks like a white-faced scholar, thin and tight, and he has only come to me. As she spoke, Yuming gestured over her shoulder.

Jiang Nian compared, and estimated that he was half a head taller than himself at most.

This height is not enough to look at among men.

You must know that Jiang Nian has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and he has always been the petite one among his peers.

"Then, who is taller than Miss Cui?"

"Well, it looks pretty much the same. ”

"I think it's better for men to be taller and stronger. ”

"Yes, I used to think that white-faced scholars were pleasing to girls, but now I look at it, it's not good to be too white. ”

Yu Ming said as she went to get a pine nut candy and stuffed it in her mouth. "Well, it's delicious, it's sweet. ”

Jiang Nian grabbed him another handful of melon seeds,

"Where is this Wu Gongzi from? Can he take the test for fame? Although Miss Cui's brother is only a county prince now, he is also young and promising, he is not yet a weak crown, and he will be promoted in the future. ”

"Speaking of which, Master Cui has never been engaged yet. This Miss Cui can't marry in front of her brother. Yuming knocked the melon seeds with a clatter.

Jiang Nian was taken aback, "Master Cui has never been engaged, so Miss Cui and this Wu Gongzi have no marriage contract." ”

Saying that, Jiang Nian pursed his lips again, "Presumably, this Wu Gongzi must be full of wealth." Just came to the house like this, and Master Cui didn't care?"

"Why didn't you care? I also had lunch with me. But it's not very enthusiastic. Yuming grabbed another handful of melon seeds.

"It's not the one who is in charge of the food, is it not Miss Cui? A young lady from an official family, it's not good to meet a man in such a hurry?"

Jiang Nian tapped his fingers on the table.

Yuming glanced at the table and swallowed the melon seeds disappreciatively, "Then I don't know, I'm in a hurry to come back, and when I see them eating, I set off." ”

Jiang Nian snatched the melon seeds back, "Oh, tell me about you, I can't listen to all the short stories in the house, what's going on? There must be a story here, you've been delayed all morning, why don't you listen to it and come again?"

"Grandma, I'm not afraid that you're in a hurry, and I don't know who it was last time, so I was like a worried grandmother who talked to me. If I'm a day late, you're not going to scrape my bark?"

Seeing that the melon seeds were gone, Yuming hurriedly took a few pine nut candies and grabbed them in her hands.

Jiang Nian hurriedly pushed Yu Ming out, "You, you, you go back quickly, tell me the whole story! If they really have a heart, they will definitely take a walk in the garden tonight, you hurry up, don't miss the important link." ”

Hurriedly ran back again, and brought the melon seeds and sugar to Yuming, "You take it and eat it on the road, hurry up, hurry back and listen to the corner!"

After sending away Yuming, Jiang Nian felt that there were many inquiries about this news, and he couldn't hear much information just by listening to the corner.

finally stayed up until almost evening, Jiang Nian closed the shop in advance, hugged a pot of bonsai of copper money grass and walked to Sibao.

Aunt Wang is the favorite to say that these family routines are short, if there are rumors related to Lord Cui in Linfu City, Aunt Wang must know.

walked to the door of the four treasures, and sure enough, Aunt Wang sat in the four treasures and drank tea, but she didn't see Wang Xiucai.

Jiang Nian stood at the door of Sibao and greeted Aunt Wang with a smile, and Aunt Wang hurriedly came out and pulled Jiang Nian into the house.

"Xiao Nian, a few days ago, did Miss Cui from Chongchang go to your shop?"

Jiang Nian heard it, oops, it seems that this Miss Cui has become famous on Jin'an Street.

Hurriedly nodded at Aunt Wang, "Come on, what did she buy in your house?"

Aunt Wang covered her mouth and smiled, "My family doesn't have the rules of your family, she just bought all the expensive pen, ink, paper and inkstones in my house, but we made a fortune." ”

When Jiang Nian heard this, he also smiled, "Ouch, this Miss Cui loves to read so much?" said and handed the copper coin grass to Aunt Wang, "This bonsai is placed on the counter, it looks good and attracts wealth." ”

Aunt Wang didn't shirk it, thanked her and took the bonsai with a smile, and took it on the edge of the counter to compare how to put it to look good.

At that time, our Xiao'er explained to her for a long time, but she didn't listen, not to say that Xiao'er looked down on her as a woman to study, didn't let her use good pen and ink, and moved the name of Cui Xiancheng out. I was so angry that I asked me to come to the shop these days. ”

The entire Jin'an Street knows that this Wang Xiucai's pricing is quite arbitrary.

Only those cheap goods with a stable supply in his store are the most cost-effective, and if it weren't for the experts, he would never sell them.

Because of those high prices, although there are good goods, more of them are old goods that cannot be sold for years.

Wang Xiucai was reluctant to sell it at a reduced price, saying that he was afraid that the children of poor families would be cheap, but it would not be easy to use when he bought it, and he would delay the time to practice calligraphy in vain.

Jiang Nian thought of Yu Ming's words, but he was afraid that these things and camellias were prepared for that Wu Gongzi.

"The tea and plum in my shop were swept away by her, and they shouldn't have been sold after the flowering period.

I persuaded her to buy Yueji, and gave her a pot of bamboo.

She agreed, but Chamei still had to buy it.

Later, Master Cui came, and I was a little scared, so I had to give it to her. ”

Jiang Nian sat aggrievedly at the tea table, twisting his clothes.

Aunt Wang put the copper coin grass in place, went to get a plate of peanut candy, and said to Jiang Nian with a smile: "If you drink tea, you have to eat some sugar, otherwise it will be bitter." ”

Jiang Nian picked up a piece of peanut candy, remembered the last time he came to Sibao, he pretended to be sick and said that he would not taste tea, and he felt uncomfortable, and he was probably remembered by Wang Xiucai and told Aunt Wang that he would bring himself a plate of sugar to eat.

I feel that my nose is a little sour, how could a careful person like Wang Xiucai make such a mistake.

Fortunately, he has forgotten and can start over.

Now the book is not selling well, which is also a setback for him. If his heart could calm down, maybe he wouldn't have gone the same way.
