Chapter 307 Flattery
Zuoqiu Yue's poison was cured, and the monk Bian Ku, who had lived in Fourteen's home for two months, was about to leave for Da Ci'en Temple.

Mei Xingzhi wanted to send them back in person, and came to pick them up at Fourteen's home.Seeing Zuo Qiuyue, it was still the same as last time, the eyebrows were not eyebrows, and the eyes were not eyes.

But Zuo Qiuyue pretended not to notice, and sent the benefactor into the carriage in a gentle and courteous manner throughout the whole process.

Afterwards, he and Xiao Yan walked home side by side. The two figures, one big and one small, walked together, and the picture had an enviable harmony.

"Zhixue." Mei Xingzhi couldn't help coming to Mei Zhixue's carriage, and asked through the window, "Are the two of them very close?"

"Who is brother talking about?" Mei Zhixue opened the car window, poked her head out and asked, "Who knows whom well?"

"It's windy outside, please close it."

"It's okay, close it after you finish these two sentences." Mei Zhixue poked her head out a little more, turned her head and looked back, just in time to see Xiao Yan turn around and walk into the gate, the headband that tied her hair was blown up by the wind, but It was also quickly blocked by the corner.

"What are you looking at?" Mei Xingzhi noticed his sister's movements.

Mei Zhixue immediately looked at Mei Xingzhi: "It's nothing, brother, tell me."

"Let me ask you, is Ah Yan familiar with that person?"

"Zuo Sanlang?" Mei Zhixue nodded and said, "A Yan likes staying with Zuo Sanlang very much, he likes him very much."

"Brother, what's the matter?" Mei Zhixue asked, "Why don't you like Zuo Sanlang?"

From Mei Zhixue's point of view, no one would dislike Zuo Sanlang.

"This is a matter between adults." Mei Xingzhi didn't intend to explain, but urged, "It's cold outside, please close the windows."

"How is the relationship between Lady Xiao and that person?" Zuo Qiuyue asked again just after Mei Zhixue closed the window.At the same time, he said: "Don't open the window, so I can hear it."

"Oh." Mei Zhixue's voice came through the car window, "My aunt is Zuo Sanlang's savior, of course they have a good relationship."

Hearing this, Mei Xingzhi frowned slightly.

"How do you know they have a good relationship?" he asked.

Mei Zhixue in the carriage was silent for a while, then suddenly opened the window again: "Brother, why do you care about these things?"

"...Just asking casually." Mei Xingzhi paused for a moment, and said, "I'm asking you, you just answer me."

Mei Zhixue didn't believe that he was just asking casually, she had her own ideas.

"Brother, what do you think of Auntie?"

"What?" Mei Xing was taken aback, how could he be asked a question?
The carriage and the horses moved forward at the same speed, and the two brothers and sisters faced each other. After walking for a while, Mei Zhixue couldn't help asking: "Brother, aren't you Aunt Xinyue?"

"?" What is this all about?
"Nonsense." Mei Xingzhi scolded lightly, "You little lady, can you say such things at will?"

"Did I guess wrong?" Mei Zhixue didn't feel depressed because of being reprimanded, on the contrary she had some excitement on her face, "Brother, you don't mean that to Auntie, do you?"

"..." Mei Xingzhi was thinking, why would the obviously quiet and introverted sister ask these questions in a grand manner?Who did she learn from?
At this time, Xiang Mai, who was watching the craftsmen painting the doors and windows of the new site of Mai Pavilion in Huangliang County, suddenly sneezed twice without warning.

"It's fine if you don't have one." Mei Zhixue let out a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

"What do you mean 'it's fine if you don't have it'?" Mei Xingzhi felt something was wrong, and looked at Mei Zhixue with scrutiny, "What do you mean by that?"

"……so cold!"

"Snapped!"

The windows were closed.

From then on, Mei Xingzhi forgot to ask if Shisi and Zuoqiu Yue's relationship was good, and all his thoughts were put on asking Mei Zhixue.

……

Xiao Yan dug two wells for Dawei Village, built a spacious road, and the small bookstore is about to be completed.

At the same time, he began to discuss with Zuo Qiuyue which books to buy for the small bookstore.

Fourteen approached him and said to him, "Your library project can be expanded and turned into a free private school. In this way, you don't have to worry about the children in the village being illiterate and unable to read books. You can directly ask Master went to teach them."

"But this kind of cost will be huge, and it will require long-term expenditure." Xiao Yan said, "I have also imagined doing this before. Considering the cost, I want to postpone it for a few years, and wait until I earn enough money in a few years before doing it."

"There's no need to wait, there's money to do it now." Fourteen said, "I have some ill-gotten wealth here, and I just give it to you to do good deeds."

This ill-gotten wealth refers to those that were taken from Changsun Yan's secret room.

"You can go to your uncle to discuss it, and see where the private school is more suitable." Fourteen said, "He is the village official, and when the time comes, he will notify the children of each household to go to school. He will do it. suitable."

"Of course, running a private school is much more complicated than building a library, and you may encounter various problems during the process. If..."

"I can do it." Xiao Yan said firmly, "Mother, I have the confidence to do it well."

Fourteen wanted to say that if he found it troublesome, he could refuse.But Xiao Yan didn't give her this chance and just accepted it.

When Xiang Mai heard that Xiao Yan wanted to build a free private school in the village with his own money, he gave the mother and son a thumbs up.

"What do you call a great benevolent person, you are!" She admired sincerely, "I think I can't do what you do, even if I make as much money as you in the future, I will never do these things myself."

On the one hand, it costs money, on the other hand, it is too troublesome.It is easy to spend money, but it is impossible for her to spend energy on helping others.

"Fourteen, are you going to teach Ah Yan to be a saint?" she asked.

Fourteen had absolutely no thoughts on this, and said truthfully, "It's not my idea, it's his idea. If he wants to do it, I will support him in doing it."

"That's because Mrs. Xiao taught her well, she taught Ah Yan to be good." After several days of cultivation, Zuoqiu Yue's face was already radiant.It's like a flower that has been hit by frost unexpectedly, and after a period of fragility and withering, it has survived and regained its vitality.

If it is said that he has ten points of color, only seven points are left in the disease.After recovering from the illness, I added three points and came back, and it bloomed like a branch, dazzling and dazzling.

"Zuo Meiren." Xiang Mai heard the words, "It is enough for a person to be beautiful, and she does not need to speak so beautifully. And flattering people at every turn will make people feel flattering."

In fact, Zuo Qiuyue didn't always flatter others, he just flattered Fourteen every now and then.It can be ignored once or twice, but after too many times, Xiang Mai couldn't help complaining.

She has seen flatterers before, but they always flatter, and not only enjoy it, but also behave neither humble nor overbearing, especially sincere, she has never seen before Zuo Qiuyue.

"Even if she is your savior, you don't have to flatter so often, do you?"

"Miss Xiang also said that Mrs. Xiao is my savior. Since I have the grace to save my life, I will recreate it with you. In other words, my life now belongs to Mrs. Xiao. Even if I give my life to her, it is not an exaggeration. What's the point of saying a few words of praise?" Zuoqiu Yue said, "And I'm sincere, not flattering, how can I say flattering?"

"...Okay, I can't say no to you."

Fourteen pretended not to hear the conversation between the two of them.

She remembered the firecrackers and fireworks that Xiao Yan was researching, so she turned the topic to this: "How is your research on firecrackers and fireworks going?"

"These two prescriptions are different from other things. Even if the research is successful, don't sell them." She warned.

Gunpowder was developed from the basis of fireworks. In this era, there are no such things as firecrackers and fireworks, but if the recipes are released, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will come up with ideas in this regard.

"Well, I know mother." Xiao Yan knew what Fourteen was worried about. In fact, he didn't intend to sell the prescriptions for firecrackers and fireworks.

"If you don't sell it, why do you study it?" When Xiang Mai learned that Xiao Yan had exchanged a piece of ice making recipe for more than 30 yuan, his first thought was—all these years of living in vain.

She was also a person who was praised as a genius since she was a child, but compared with Xiao Yan, she instantly felt that the word genius was too cheap to use on her.She can easily earn 30 yuan at the age of eight. What was she doing when she was eight years old?

Oh, I remembered, I was still being punished for not completing the homework assigned by my husband.

"After the successful development of firecrackers and fireworks, I plan to open a workshop to specialize in production." Xiao Yan said his plan, "Then I will open shops in various places for sale, just like my mother opened Huangliang hot pot. Opened in every state and county."

"The name of the branch has already been chosen. I came up with Master Zuo together. It's called Qihuoju."
