Chapter 36: Buying a Pen
When Xiao Qi returned to Daddy's room, he had already fallen asleep.
She waved off the stand-in and went to bed and sat next to Daddy looking at him.
At this time, Daddy's face was clean and without any scars, and he had never been injured, except for his dark complexion, his appearance was good, giving people a sense of righteousness, unlike when he first arrived in Yuanxi Town, a hideous wound on his face from the left eyebrow bone to the side of his mouth, at that time, he was just this wound, and anyone who saw it felt panicked, and naturally classified him as a bad person.
When the two of us didn't know the villagers very well, everyone thought he was a wicked person and often avoided him, and many people pointed fingers at him behind his back.
Xiao Qi didn't know exactly how the wound on Daddy's face came about, and she didn't have any impression of what happened before Yuanxi Town.
All the things that happened on the way from Cloud City to Yuanxi Town, I don't know what the reason is, I can't remember anything about it.
I only remember that the wound on Daddy's face was already there when he got there.
When I was six years old and came to Yuanxi Town, I had no hair on my head and no eyelashes on my eyes.
Xiao Qi still remembers that the lady who sells wontons later said after her hair grows out, when she first saw Xiao Qi, she thought that the little girl had some strange disease and didn't grow her hair.
When he first entered Yuanxi Town, in addition to Xiaoqi being different from other children, the scars on Daddy's face were also something that others paid special attention to and criticized, and because of the scars, Yuanxi Town recruited Mr. Teaching.
After the father and daughter stayed in Yuanxi Town for a long time, because Daddy's teaching was very meticulous and strict, he was famous in the town, and everyone respected and friendly him, and even Xiao Qi could often get some special care. For example, I often eat all kinds of food sent by the villagers, such as walking on the street, everyone will greet each other happily, such as helping to do some housework at any time.
At that time, all the things used in the family were not bought.
The umbrella is sent by the aunt, the hoe is sent by the blacksmith, the grain is sent by the grocery store owner, and even the meat is eaten, and the fat man of the butcher shop is personally delivered, and most of the daily needs do not need to spend money.
Xiao Qi's relationship with the people of Yuanxi Town is also getting deeper and deeper because of this little thing, if Yuanxi Town has always existed, she will be willing to be a mortal, not to practice, according to Daddy's wishes, to find a loyal family, and live a peaceful and joyful life.
Yuanxi Town is the place where Xiao Qi is most willing to live an ordinary life, because all the memories of Daddy in Xiao Qi's heart are here, and all the love from relatives is only here. Yuanxi Town is the hometown of her heart, and it is also the eternal destination of her heart.
Xiao Qi thought in his heart that if he didn't have previous memories, he might still obey Daddy's wishes this time and accompany him to spend his life in Yuanxi Town.
But now, she is here for the resurrection of everyone, how can she only care about this little personal affection.
For the sake of everyone's happy little life, Daddy, I have to send you away first, and I have to make you forget me for a while.
Xiao Qi raised his hand to touch Daddy's face, touched the wound in his memory, and said lightly: "From this moment on, if anyone dares to leave a wound on you, I will do whatever it takes to get it back."
Xiao Qi sat next to Daddy all night, and when the dawn of the morning lit up the sky, Qi Yan woke up from his sleep, saw Xiao Qi dressed and sitting beside him, and asked her with a smile: "You have been very sleepy in recent days, how can you be willing to get up early today."
Xiao Qi propped his chin with both hands and said with a smile: "Dad, you have said many times that you want to buy me a brush to teach me how to write, shall we buy it today?"
Qi Yan sat up, looked at Xiao Qi's eyes and said seriously: "It's no problem if you want to learn to write, but Dad is very serious to tell you, practicing words is a chore, you need to practice day after day, year after year, you need to practice seriously, it can be said that you must practice in summer and winter, and in the process of practice, you must also standardize the font, the whole process is not good."
And then there is, the best wolf pen is particularly precious, if you can make up your mind not afraid of hard work to insist on practicing words, Dad will buy you, if you just want to play, then let's find a branch to learn simple words first, and so on, buy a general brush to make do with, know a few words on the line.
You see how you choose? Do you choose to concentrate on practicing hard, or choose a branch and learn a little."
Xiao Qi: "Which one does Dad think I should choose?"
Seven Dead: "My daughter of Seven Dead has to be worthy of a wolf's pen." However, practicing writing is all about personal willpower, and if you can't control yourself and only play and don't learn, it will be a waste to give you a wolf's pen.
Do you think you can keep doing what your father asks? Can you persevere, no matter how hot it is, or whether it's cold or snowy?"
Xiao Qi nodded his little head seriously, and replied in a firm voice: "Yes!"
Qi Yan touched Xiao Qi's head and said: "Since you have such determination and ambition, Dad will buy you a pen today, the market will open in a while, Dad will take you to the shop that sells the four treasures of the study, you can choose one of them you like, and Dad will buy it for you."
Xiao Qi deliberately jumped out of bed happily after hearing this, waved his arms and said, "Then Daddy hurry up and get dressed, and we'll set off in a while."
Qi Yan replied: "Okay, wait for me, I'll wash my face first."
Xiao Qi slowly took down the copper basin next to the door, took it out and went to Xiao Er to add hot water, and then brought it back, brought it to Qi Yan, and said with a smile: "Daddy washes his face!"
Qi Yan first pulled Xiao Qi to his side, picked up the water to wash and dry her little face, and then cleaned his face.
The father and daughter cleaned up neatly, and each of them took a steamed bun at the inn's junior second, and then they held hands and walked towards Yuncheng East City.
Seven Yan put Xiao Qi on his shoulder and entered the store, because he came very early, there were only two customers in the store, and the shopkeeper greeted them very warmly and asked what they wanted to buy.
Qi Yan replied to his words: "Take out all the best wolf pens you have here for me to see, and if there is one that fits your eyes, buy one."
The shopkeeper responded: "Okay, please wait", turned around and removed more than a dozen pens from the inner wall of the counter and put them on the counter to line up, "Guest officer, please choose, there is a fancy one, we have sample pens here, you can try."
Qi Yan took a look at the pen, all kinds of wooden pen barrels, the size of the pen is not the same, he put the pen that is suitable for practicing Xiaokai from the inside pick the pen barrel is black, took out three, the shopkeeper quickly collected the other pens, took the three sample pens, spread out the rice paper, dipped the pen in the ink, handed to Qi Yan let him try one by one.
Seven Deaths rotated the brush and wrote a few words, and there was one in his heart.
The shopkeeper boasted on the side: "If you want to buy a good brush, you must try, only after trying, you will know which writing is more suitable."
My shop is a time-honored brand, the master's craftsmanship is a must in Yuncheng, the quality of the pen is definitely the best in Yuncheng, how many princes and nobles will come to me to buy brushes, even that Fu Shangshu, he must buy pens in my store, never go to other houses.
If you like it, you should start it as soon as possible, so you can use it as soon as possible."
Xiao Qi heard that Fu Shangshu bought the pen here, it must be of good quality and low price, this shopkeeper can mention Fu Ye, but he is just saying that he is the only prince and nobleman who came here.
But it's good to buy here, Fu Ye can take a fancy to it, and it will not be bad.
Qiyan was silent at first, and then played Tai Chi with the shopkeeper on the price, and finally bought one for five taels of silver.
Five taels, this number sounds like nothing to Xiao Qi now, but at the beginning of the meeting in Yuanxi Town, my father saved up enough three taels of silver to buy a pen, which shows that three taels of silver in ordinary people's homes, at least three years need to be saved, which is precious.
After Qi Yan bought a pen, he solemnly handed the pen to Xiao Qi and said: "In the future, you must cherish it, a good brush, if you cherish it, it can accompany you for a lifetime."
Xiao Qi replied crisply: "Okay, I must cherish it."
This item will be carefully put away in the future. I used to always think that Daddy would buy me a pen back, but now that I bought it, how could I not cherish it, even if I lost my life in the future, I had to make the pen complete.
Xiao Qi took the pen, led by Daddy, and strolled through the streets of Yuncheng, looking everywhere, and at this glance, he saw the golden carriage of the Yun family appear on the street.
Who will be in the car?
