When the paper kite found Yuheng again, it was already the end of the day.

She went to the shop under the big banyan tree in Erjinggou Alley but was empty, and then followed the mark left by Yuheng until she found a porcelain shop in Xishi.

Yuheng followed the paper kite to the painting screen lake, and looked into the shop before leaving.

Of course, Li Chenan didn't know that there was a little tail behind him, and at this moment he was explaining to the shopkeeper about the thing drawn on this piece of paper.

It's not that difficult, but the shape of the device is slightly weird.

The two sides quickly negotiated, and by the way, he also bought a few jars and ordered a batch of small and exquisite jars.

After paying the deposit and agreeing on the time and place of the transaction, Li Chenan left the porcelain shop and continued to look for what he needed in the West Market.

The West Market is an extremely prosperous market in Guangling City, where oil, salt, firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea can be bought.

Of course, there are also ironware, porcelain, woodware, etc.

Li Chen'an walked around and took a look, occasionally went to a certain shop to pick up a small object and took a look at it with great interest, and then walked slowly, looking at the dazzling array of goods, and also looking at the endless flow of people, he suddenly felt that this feeling was very good, this was an unprecedented experience in his previous life, and he thought that this was the down-to-earth fireworks in the world.

After the previous life, he lived a life in the clouds, which is the envy of many people, but they don't know the ups and downs behind that life.

For the sake of business, intrigue and rivalry, I am eager to kill my opponent immediately, and I am flattering and groveling with officialdom, like a grandson.

The tendon in my brain is tense all the time, for fear that something will go wrong somewhere and I will fall from the clouds.

Insomnia, anxiety, and even depression are all tortures that others can't see, and all they see is the superficial scenery.

That's good now.

The little courtyard was shabby, but it slept peacefully.

Now there is no anxiety, everything can come slowly, well, after the tavern opens, there is no need to ask how good the business is, it is enough to be able to make a small profit.

Money is a thing, and now Li Chenan really understands that it is really a thing outside his body.

It's indispensable, but there's no need to be too hard-working.

It is enough for the normal expenses of the family, of course, if there are still a few surpluses throughout the year, it is naturally the best.

It wasn't hard for him.

Thinking so, Li Chen'an passed by a woodware shop, bought two more beds here, and added a few mattresses and quilts to the grocery store next door.

These things were given to the money shop to be responsible for delivery, and the service was very good.

When he came out of the shop and continued to walk forward, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Brother, brother!"

turned his head to see that it was his sister Li Qiaoxi.

Li Qiaoxi is fourteen years old, just like her name, she was born quite small, but her eyebrows and eyes have not yet grown, her hair is slightly yellow, and the childishness on her face looks a little heavy.

But her mind is very meticulous, when she was still in that family in the past, her sister never disliked this brother's stupidity, but has been encouraging him.

"It's really you, I went to that shop, you're not there. ”

Li Chen'an looked at the small bag that Li Qiaoxi was holding in his hand, and said with a smile: "Come to this West Market, something?"

"My mother is sick, and a few days ago, I asked Lang Zhong to grab a pair of medicines, and after drinking three doses, it has not improved...... I—I wanted to go and ask Dr. Zhang from the Rejuvenation Hall again......"

Li Qiaoxi pursed her lips, her cheeks showed two shallow pear vortices, she lowered her head, gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed out, and said hatefully: "That woman doesn't give silver!"

Of course, that woman was the concubine.

If you talk about it, Li Chen'an's brother and sister should call her Erniang, but obviously the brother and sister don't have a good impression of that Erniang.

Now that her mother is sick and needs to be diagnosed, she doesn't give her money...... This made Li Chenan frown.

"Let's go, let's go and invite Dr. Zhang from the Rejuvenation Hall. ”

Li Qiaoxi didn't leave.

Because the consultation fee of the Rejuvenation Hall is very expensive.

She had no money in her pocket.

And her brother's pocket is obviously cleaner than her face.

She took a deep breath and lifted the small bag in her hand, "I grabbed a pair of medicines with that recipe, and went back to fry it for my mother to take and take a look." ”

Li Qiaoxi went to Erjinggou Alley to find Li Chen'an, he never thought that this brother had the silver to ask for a doctor, and the four taels of silver he gave him ten days ago seemed to Li Qiaoxi, and he was afraid that he had already spent it.

She just hoped that her brother would go back to see her mother.

But what Li Chenan said to her at this time made her look up in amazement-

"Go to the Rejuvenation Hall, my brother has silver. ”

Looking at Li Qiaoxi's unbelievable eyes, Li Chenan took out the remaining three silver tickets of ten taels from his arms, and there were about five taels of broken silver.

Li Qiaoxi opened her mouth wide, suddenly looked left and right nervously, pulled Li Chenan's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you gambling again?"

This predecessor has been in business for three years and owes a lot of debt, precisely because he went to the gambling house.

At first, he didn't go by himself, but was taken by a thug named Sun Er in the alley of Erjinggou.

The first time I won a small win of one or two silver.

The second big win was five taels of silver.

Then it was out of control, and then it was a loss.

If it weren't for the title deed of the shop in his mother's hands, Li Chen'an would have tragically found that he didn't even have a place to stay.

So at this moment, Li Chenan suddenly took out so much silver, which really scared Li Qiaoxi.

"Brother, you swore to your mother...... You...... You ......"

Her face was very anxious, she stomped her feet, and looked like she hated iron but not steel: "Why are you so uncompetitive!

A warmth suddenly rose in Li Chen'an's heart.

Instead of being angry at his sister's indiscriminate blame, he smiled.

How long has it been since no one cared about themselves like this?

He rubbed Li Qiaoxi's head, "Brother didn't go to gamble." ”

"Where did you get all that silver?"

"Brother earns it seriously, let's go, let's go to the Rejuvenation Hall, don't delay treating my mother. ”

Li Qiaoxi looked at Li Chenan suspiciously, she didn't see anything strange on his face, but she felt a little strange in her heart.

The former elder brother was cowardly by nature, timid, and even more unspeakable.

The cowardice was even engraved on his face, he was cowering on weekdays, and he walked with his head hooked, as if he was afraid that someone would recognize him, and he seemed to be even more afraid that someone would know that he was the useless eldest son of Li Fu.

Can ...... now

Now his face was indifferent with a smile, and what was indifferently revealed was a look that made her Li Qiaoxi feel at ease.

So she put aside those doubts for a while, and felt that it was more important to treat her mother first.

The brother and sister left the West Market and headed for the Huichun Hall in Changle Alley.

......

......

Painting Pingtung, Yanyu Pavilion.

When Yu Heng told Ning Chuchu and Zhong Li Ruoshui in detail what she had seen, the two girls looked at each other in disbelief.

"I thought it took him a lot of time to write this poem, because it's not easy to write a lyric. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui sat up straight, sighed leisurely, and said, "Such a good word, he actually put pen to paper...... In this way, the stack of paper in his hand is a dozen or so words!"

"Regardless of the rest of the poems, the momentum of this pen alone is not comparable to those who claim to be geniuses! What kind of erudition and attainment is this!"

"No, I have to go see this person!"

Zhongli Ruoshui stood up, "Go now!"

Of course, Ning Chuchu was also shocked by the young man's talent, but she was more rational than Zhongli Ruoshui.

She grabbed Zhongli Ruoshui's shoulder, "Don't be so anxious, didn't I let Kaiyang go and check?"

"The first test here is almost over, you have to go to the painting boat to preside over the next poetry competition, as for him...... Wait until Kaiyang finishes investigating his life experience. ”

"After all, it makes some sense that such a talented man is hidden in the market, and I suspect that he came from somewhere else, in case there is something wrong with his character...... From this poem, it seems that he is deeply hurt by love, in case he already has a family elsewhere, then even if he is only eight years old, he is not a good match for you. ”

Ning Chuchu's words calmed down Zhongli Ruoshui.

Although Guangling City is big, it really doesn't make sense that there is a great talent who can amaze the world so suddenly.

Wen has something in common with martial arts in some aspects, Wen has to study diligently, martial arts has to practice hard, they are all water grinding kung fu, even the most talented genius needs to be accumulated, and then thin.

Of course, what really stopped her was Ning Chuchu's last sentence.

Of course, the third lady of Zhongli's family can't be a little bit of a person, even if he is an official residence!

Didn't Paper Kite say that he was going to open a tavern in Erjinggou Alley?

There is time to find out all the eighteen generations of his ancestors, and it will be safer to start when the time comes.

So Zhongli Ruoshui sat down again, and suddenly showed a bright smile:

"You say...... If his family background is innocent, there is no marriage match...... Shouldn't I be proactive?"

Ning Chuchu's beautiful eyebrows raised and raised the bar: "But he was the one I met first!"

"Hmph, your Royal Highness the princess, the future husband must be from a certain national mansion, and you can also look at this small people in the mountains and wilderness?"

"This is not for sure, after all, I also hope that my future husband will be like the prime minister!"

Zhongli Ruoshui glared at Ning Chuchu, but didn't take her words to heart, because Ning Chuchu was a princess, and her future was even more difficult to control by herself.

Just then, a maid hurriedly walked in.

She said a blessing to the two of them, and said to Zhongli Ruoshui: "Miss, in this couplet, Master Zhou and they have selected a hundred teenagers between the ages of sixteen and twenty. ”

"Among them, there are twenty-six people who climbed the third floor, and the Shen Qiaodie Shen girl you invited is also here, and she is waiting in the back cabin of the third floor. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui nodded and said to Ning Chuchu: "Let's go, let's go and meet those talents." ”

The two stood up, and Zhongli Ruoshui said with some regret: "It's a pity that he didn't come, so I always feel that something is missing." ”

"Let's think of it as a cultural meeting on the third day of March, as for choosing a son-in-law...... If Cheng Guogong arrives, you have to help me stop it!"

Walking out of this smoke and rain pavilion, it is already sunset.

Looking at the Huaping Lake dyed red by the sunset, Zhongli Ruoshui thought to himself, if he was there, could he compose a poem about the sunset when he saw this situation and this scene, and could it be comparable to the famous Shang Buqi?
