In the alley opposite the main entrance of the Imperial College, a new Four Treasures of the Study shop was opened, and the name of the shop was "Four Treasures Study". In fact, relying on Guozijian, there are many Four Treasures of the Study shops around, which also sell various poetry books and collections. It is not very eye-catching to have another one suddenly.
But the past supervisors soon discovered that the owner of the shop was actually a woman, a very young and beautiful woman. She was dressed in simple pink and green clothes, with a graceful and elegant figure, like a lotus flower out of water. It is unforgettable at first sight.
There are thousands of students in the Imperial College, but there is not even a single woman. It is like a temple for monks. The sudden appearance of such a delicate and beautiful proprietress nearby caused a sensation immediately. The students spread the word to ten and ten, and at noon that day, this study, which had just opened and everything had not been straightened out, became the most prosperous of all the shops on this street.
"Mr. Zhang, do you want to put these books on the shelf?"
Xue Shuiwu looked at the set of books that Zhang Hongyan had just ordered someone to move in, and found that some books and periodicals were not a collection of classics and history at all, but some notes of novels, things for entertainment and boredom: "Ruyilou Yanshi", written by Jin Lingyue Xiaoguan; "Legend of the Lotus Lantern", Jinlingyue Xiaoguan...
Xue Shuiwu only flipped through it briefly, and many blushing descriptions came into view. Zhang Hongyan smiled and said: "Hey, those students have nothing to do, so they also want to watch something for entertainment. Miss Xue, these are not for sale, they are only for rent, and they are very profitable."
After Zhang Hongyan finished speaking, he turned to the two delivery men and said, "Excuse me, put the bookshelves on the shelves. You can go now."
This store was opened by Zhang Hongxuan. Xue Shuiwu left the clubhouse yesterday because he was penniless and wanted to find a job right away. But if this person is born with a hideous appearance, it is difficult to find a job, but it is even more difficult to find a job if he is too beautiful.
Xue Shuiwu went to several tailor shops, clothes shops, teahouses and restaurants in a row. Every time before the shopkeeper negotiated a price, a proprietress must have heard the sound and rushed to Xue Shuiwu, and said firmly to Xue Shuiwu: "The store is well staffed, and there is no need to hire anyone. Girl, please go elsewhere."
At this time, most of the proprietresses were still enthusiastically pointing out: "Here! You see, that store is booming and the shop is huge, so there must be a shortage of people." They looked like they were afraid that Xue Shuiwu would not leave.
If so, Shui Wu has never found a job, wandering the streets, hungry, suddenly a young master comes on horseback, and he can't dodge for a while, being knocked to the ground by him.
The young man jumped off the horse, bluffing his face pale, as if he was afraid of getting into a lawsuit, and immediately greeted her with care, and as soon as he asked her about her situation, the young man immediately patted his chest and said that he was about to open a shop, but he was short of people Take care of it, just hire Miss Xue to help Yunyun.
Xue Shuiwu would never believe that such a good thing would happen from the sky, only that this young man who claimed to be Zhang Hongyan had something wrong with her, but this young man only took her to the inn, booked a room for her and asked the waiter to send her to the inn. Go in, don't even enter the door.
In the morning of the next day, Shui Wu ate the breakfast brought by the staff, and after only a while, Mr. Zhang came and wanted to take her to the study. According to Mr. Zhang, his family's wealth is huge, even if he sits and eats for three lifetimes, the mountain will not be empty. However, his father always wants him to do something serious, so he spent a little money to open a study to deal with it.
But he was really impatient to spend all day in the shop managing money, and now he happened to meet Miss Xue, so he simply asked her to sit in the shop to take care of it. It doesn't matter if he loses or earns, as long as there is such a business sticking around, when will his father want to ask? , Invite him to have a look, just have an explanation.
Shui Wu has nowhere to go, and is penniless, so if there is such a good opportunity, she will naturally wish for it, but she is also afraid that this young man has a beastly face and has bad intentions for her, so she feels very embarrassed.
Fortunately, it was daytime at this time, and the place that Mr. Zhang wanted to take her was full of bustling and bustling places. If he really had malicious intentions, he could call for help at that time, and Xue Shuiwu followed him dubiously. Xue Shuiwu refused to take the car he hired, fearing that she would not be able to call for help, Mr. Zhang was also very good-tempered, so he walked with her as a car, and took her to the Imperial College step by step.
When Shui Wu came here, she saw that the store was newly opened, the signboard was shining brightly, the doors and windows smelled of paint, and there were two hired men in the store, both women in their twenties and thirties. I am placing pen holders, brush washers, pen licks, pen grids, water bowls, ink beds, ink pad boxes, paperweights, etc. on the bookshelves. Only then did Xue Shuiwu believe that the raindrops really hit her head.
Mr. Zhang introduced the two women to her, and said that from now on, Shui Wu would be in charge of managing the shop, and then he left in a hurry, as if he was really busy.
Xue Shuiwu couldn't bear the shelf of the shopkeeper, so she cleaned the inside and outside together with the two women, so she was seen by the supervisors, which caused a sensation.
As the saying goes, gentlemen love to be gentlemen. This Guozijian is full of gentlemen, whether they are real gentlemen or hypocritical gentlemen, in short, since they are gentlemen, of course they are good to fair and fair ladies, so even before the store officially opened, it was already overcrowded, and one after another came to take care of the business.
When it was almost noon, Zhang Hongyan rushed over again. He brought two bookstore clerks, got two big boxes of idle books, and filled the last two bookshelves. He said to Xue Shuiwu with a smile: "Miss Xue, this shop is in front of the store and the back of the house, you and the two elder sisters can live in the backyard together.
Three meals a day can be paid for from this income, provided the accounts are clear. I'm very busy, so I don't come here often on weekdays. The Si Ye of the Imperial College is my senior. When you have any difficulties, you can go to him for help. If he can't solve it, he will find me. "
The two women thanked Zhang Hongyan repeatedly, they were very grateful. They are all widows and have no heirs, so after the death of their husbands, they were abused by their in-laws. Now that someone hires them and the in-laws get a share of the money, they are naturally willing to let them out, and they no longer have to worry about others I don't know how comfortable this mood is, and I am naturally grateful to Zhang Hongyan.
Zhang Hongxuan said carelessly: "Don't be polite, there are customers coming, go and take care of the business. Miss Xue, I'm leaving now. I will come to settle accounts at the end of the month, so I won't bother you at ordinary times." , you just treat this store as your own. Hahaha, I have plenty of money, so I don’t try to make money, as long as I can handle my father, we two will get what we want. "
Xue Shuiwu smiled and said nothing, but politely sent him out the door. Zhang Hongyan turned his head to Xue Shuiwu while turning the saddle on his horse, "Okay, Miss Xue, please go back."
Xue Shuiwu said softly: "Mr. Zhang, please thank Brother Xiaotian for me."
"Ah!" Zhang Hongyan, who had just climbed onto the horse's back, was startled and almost fell off the horse again. He looked at Xue Shuiwu in surprise, and stammered, "You... what did you just say?"
Xue Shuiwu sighed softly, and said: "The young master sent me to the inn yesterday, and then hired the two sisters-in-law, this store also paid a high price yesterday, from the hands of the person who originally planned to open the store here Under the plate, these things, the servants have been inquiring about them all morning. After understanding these things, it is difficult not to understand some things."
Zhang Hongyan laughed dryly, and said, "Ah... that... this... haha! The girl is really smart. Uh, I... I..."
Shui Wu's smile was bright and bright: "Master Zhang, please tell Brother Xiaotian, don't worry about me, I will live a good life, for sure!"
※※※
In the western suburbs of Jinling, the place where Ye Xiaotian bid farewell to Xia Yingying and her father and brother.
At this time, Kuai Peng, Qiao Zhenhua, Tang Xianzu and others were all here, preparing to send Ye Xiaotian away.
In the roadside kiosk, there are a few dishes of side dishes and a jug of fine wine.
Ye Xiaotian and the three friends were talking and laughing, and drinking while laughing, the affection of Yiyi was beyond words.
They counted the incidents since Ye Xiaotian arrived in Jinling, the disaster relief charity sale, the wisdom to solve the silver theft case, the lotus lantern flying into the sky to chase after the girl, pretending to be crazy and foolishly teasing Liubu, a hot pot to flatten Kezhi, and the villainous Guan Xiaokun and the expulsion of Uncle Li Guo. Zhuang laughed for a while, and after a while, he became clear. After talking about these things, he couldn't help but feel a little drunk.
Qiao Zhenhua patted Ye Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said with a big tongue: "Ye...Brother Ye, my father...my father... admires you very much. Do you know, my father said, it's a pity...you are not a Jinshi, nor...not a student supervisor , otherwise he will definitely... recommend you to be the censor, if you are the censor, those corrupt officials will definitely be frightened, hahaha... "
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly: "Does your father think that I can cause trouble?"
Kuai Peng and others laughed, Tang Xianzu raised his glass to Ye Xiaotian and said: "Brother Ye Xian, in a few days, I will continue to travel around the world, I hope you and my brother will meet again in the future."
Ye Xiaotian grabbed the wine glass and said: "Okay! I wish Brother Tang to pass the Jinshi exam as soon as possible, so that he can fulfill his life's wish. Do it!"
The two of them clinked their wine glasses and drank the wine in one gulp. At this time, a horse flew over from a distance, and Kuai Peng put on the awning to look into the distance, and said happily, "Hongyan is here!"
Zhang Hongyan rode his horse to the vicinity, dismounted quickly, and walked quickly into the small pavilion. Ye Xiaotian cast his eyes on him, but did not speak. Zhang Hongyan smiled awkwardly, spread his hands and said, "The performance was a mess, she...knows that you are helping her."
Ye Xiaotian's eyelids drooped slightly, but he still didn't speak. It is often said that saying goodbye to first love is the starting point for a man to mature. No matter whether this decision is right or wrong, it marks that he has begun to have his own judgment, choice and responsibility.
Zhang Hongyan observed his expression, and said: "She said, thank you, and told you not to worry, she will live well!"
Ye Xiaotian slowly raised his glass, and said with a smile: "You and my brother are farewell today, and we don't know when we will see each other again. Come on! Everyone drank this glass of wine."
Tang Xianzu shook his head and sighed: "I don't know the origin of love. It goes deep and deep to the extreme, but it seems ruthless. As the saying goes, the cathode is yang, and the anode is yin. The extremes of things must be reversed. Sincerity is the way!"
Ye Xiaotian pretended not to hear, raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, stood up abruptly, clasped his fists at Zhang Hongyan and the others, strode out of the small pavilion, and chanted loudly: "If you go now, you will go, if you find it, there will be no time." It's time! Master Hua, Master Xu, Master Yin and Yang Wang, I, Ye Xiaotian, are back again! Hahaha... "
