Chapter 5
It was the end of the day when Zhiyuan found Yuheng again.
She went to the shop under the big banyan tree in Erjinggou Alley but found nothing, and then followed the mark left by Yuheng to a porcelain shop in West Market.
Yuheng followed Zhiyuan to Huaping Lake, and before leaving, he looked into the shop with his head.
Of course, Li Chenan didn't know that there was a little tail following him all the time, and at the moment he was explaining the thing drawn on this piece of paper to the shopkeeper.
The difficulty is not great, but the shape of the device is slightly weird.
The two sides quickly negotiated. 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 search for what he needed in the West Market.
West Market is an extremely bustling market in Guangling City, where you can buy oil, salt, chai, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Of course, those ironware, porcelain, woodware, etc. are also available here.
Li Chenan walked around and took a look, and occasionally went to a certain shop to pick up a small item to look at with interest, and then walked slowly, looking at the dazzling array of goods and the endless stream of people, he suddenly felt that this feeling was quite Yes, this is an experience that I have never had in my previous life. I thought this is the down-to-earth fireworks.
After getting rich in the previous life, I lived a life in the clouds, which many people envy, but they don't know the ups and downs behind that life.
For the sake of business intrigues and intrigues, he can't wait to kill his opponent immediately, and he is as humble as a grandson when dealing with officials, flattering and flattering.
The nerve in my mind is tense all the time, for fear that something will go wrong somewhere and I will fall from the cloud.
Insomnia, anxiety, and even depression are tortures that others cannot see, and all they see is the superficial scenery.
It's fine now.
Although the small yard was simple, I slept peacefully.
Now there is no anxiety, everything can be done slowly, um, after the tavern is opened, there is no need to ask for a good business, a small profit is enough.
As for money, now Li Chenan really understands that it is really something outside of him.
Indispensable, but there is no need to pursue it too hard.
It is enough to meet the normal expenses of the family. Of course, it would be best if there is still a few surpluses throughout the year.
This is not difficult for him.
Thinking so, Li Chenan passed by a woodware shop, bought two more beds here, and bought a few more mattresses and quilts at the grocery store next door.
These items were delivered to Qian Shop, and the service was very good.
When he came out of the shop and continued to walk forward, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother, brother!"
Turning around, it was my sister Li Qiaoxi.
Li Qiaoxi is fourteen years old, just like her name, she was born quite petite, but her eyebrows and eyes have not yet opened, her hair is a little withered and yellow, and her face looks a little childish.
But her thoughts are very meticulous. When she was still in that family, her sister never disliked this brother's stupidity, but she still encouraged him all the time.
"It's really you. I went to that shop, but you're not there."
Li Chenan looked at the small bag twisted in Li Qiaoxi's hand, and said with a smile, "Come here for a stroll in the West Market, do you have something to do?"
"Mother is sick. I invited a doctor to take a pair of medicines a few days ago. After drinking three doses, it still hasn't improved... I, I wanted to invite Dr. Zhang from Huichun Hall..."
Li Qiaoxi pursed her lips, two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, she lowered her head, gritted her teeth, her cheeks puffed up, and said bitterly: "That woman won't give you any money!"
That woman is of course the concubine.
If it comes to it, Li Chenan's brothers and sisters should call her Erniang, but obviously the two brothers and sisters don't like that Erniang.
Now that my mother is sick and needs money for medical treatment, she actually doesn't pay... This made Li Chenan frowned.
"Let's go, let's invite Dr. Zhang from Huichun Hall."
Li Qiaoxi didn't leave.
Because Huichuntang's consultation fee is very expensive.
She has no money in her pocket.
And her brother's pocket is obviously cleaner than her face.
She took a deep breath, and picked up the small bag in her hand, "I used that prescription to grab a pair of medicine, and I will fry it for my mother to take after I go back."
Li Qiaoxi went to Erjinggou Alley to look for Li Chen'an, and never thought that this brother had money to hire a doctor. In Li Qiaoxi's opinion, the four taels of money given to him ten days ago might have already been spent.
She just hoped that her brother could go back and see her mother.
But what Li Chenan said to her at this time made her raise her head in astonishment——
"Go to Huichun Hall, brother has money."
Looking at Li Qiaoxi's unbelievable eyes, Li Chen'an took out the remaining three ten taels of silver notes from his bosom, and there were about five taels of silver in addition.
Li Qiaoxi opened her mouth wide, and suddenly looked around nervously, pulled Li Chenan's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you going to gamble again?"
This predecessor has been in business for three years and owes a whole lot of debt, precisely because he went to the gambling house.
At first, he didn't go there by himself, but was taken away by a gangster named Sun Er in the alley of Erjinggou.
For the first time, I won a tael of silver.
The second time I won five taels of silver.
Then it got out of hand, and then lost all the way.
If it weren't for the title deed of the shop in his mother's hands, Li Chen'an would have tragically discovered that there is no place to stay when he crosses over.
So at this moment, Li Chen'an suddenly took out so much money, which really shocked Li Qiaoxi.
"Brother, you swore to your mother...you...you..."
Her face was very anxious, she stomped her feet, with a look of hating iron and steel: "Why are you so unbelievable! You are going to piss your mother off!"
A warm feeling suddenly rose in Li Chenan's heart.
Instead of being angry because of his sister's indiscriminate blame, he even showed a smile.
How long has it been since someone cared about themselves like this?
He rubbed Li Qiaoxi's head, "Brother didn't gamble."
"Then where did you get so much money?"
"Brother earned it seriously, let's go, let's go to Huichuntang, don't delay treating mother."
Li Qiaoxi looked at Li Chen'an suspiciously, she never saw anything strange on his face, but there was something strange in her heart.
The older brother was cowardly and timid by nature, and he was not good at speaking.
That cowardice was even engraved on his face, and he was always cowering and cringing, walking with his head hooked, as if he was afraid that someone would recognize him, and he seemed even more afraid that someone would know that he was the incompetent man from the Li family. the useless eldest son of
But now...
Now he has a calm smile on his face, and that calmness reveals a look that makes her Li Qiaoxi feel at ease.
So she temporarily let go of those doubts, and felt that it was more important to treat her mother first.
The two brothers and sisters left West Market and headed for Huichuntang located in Changle Alley.

When Yuheng told Ning Chuchu and Zhongli Ruoshui what she saw in detail, the two women looked at each other in disbelief.
"I originally thought it took him a lot of time to compose this poem. After all, composing lyrics is not easy."
Zhongli Ruoshui sat up straight, sighed leisurely, and said again: "Such a good word, he actually completed it with a pen... From this point of view, the stack of paper in his hand is a dozen or so words!"
"Leaving aside what the other poems are like, the momentum of this writing is not comparable to those who claim to be talented! What kind of erudition is this, what kind of accomplishment is this!"
"No, I have to go and see this person!"
Zhongli Ruoshui stood up, "Go now!"
Of course Ning Chuchu was also shocked by that young man's talent, but she was more rational than Zhongli Ruoshui.
She grabbed Zhongli Ruoshui's shoulder, "Don't be so hasty, didn't I ask Kaiyang to investigate?"
"The initial test here is coming to an end, you have to go to Huafang to preside over the next poetry competition, as for him... wait until Kaiyang finishes investigating his life experience."
"After all, it doesn't make sense for such a talented person to hide in the market. I suspect that he came from somewhere else. If there is something wrong with his character... From this poem, it seems that he was deeply hurt by love. If he already has a family elsewhere, then even if he is talented, he is not a good match for you."
Ning Chuchu's words made Zhongli Ruoshui calm down.
Although Guangling City is big, it really doesn't make sense for such an amazing talent to appear so suddenly.
Some aspects of Wen have something in common with Wu. Wen needs to study hard, and Wu needs to practice hard. They are all honed in water. Even the most talented genius needs to accumulate and then make a fortune.
Of course, what really stopped her was Ning Chuchu's last sentence.
Of course, it is impossible for the third lady of Zhongli's family to be someone's child, even if he is a first-rank official!
Didn't Zhiyuan say that he was going to open a tavern in Erjinggou Alley?
Then there is plenty of time to investigate the eighteen generations of his ancestors thoroughly, and it will be safer to start after that time.
So Zhongli Ruoshui sat down again, and suddenly showed a bright smile:
"You said...if his family background is clean and unmarried...should I also take the initiative?"
Ning Chuchu raised her beautiful eyebrows and raised her bar: "But I met him first!"
"Hmph, Your Majesty the princess, the future husband-in-law must come from a certain duke's mansion, can you also like this little man from the mountains?"
"That's not certain, after all, I also hope that my future husband-in-law will be like that Prime Minister Shang!"
Zhongli Ruoshui glared at Ning Chuchu, but didn't take her words to heart, because Ning Chuchu is a princess, and her future is more difficult to control by herself.
At this moment, a servant girl hurried in.
She wished the two of them a blessing, and said to Zhongli Ruoshui: "Miss, for the couplet, Master Zhou and the others selected a hundred youngsters between the ages of sixteen and twenty."
"Among them, there are 26 people who climbed to the third floor. The lady Shen Qiaodie you invited is also here, waiting in the back cabin on the third floor."
Zhongli Ruoshui nodded, and said to Ning Chuchu: "Let's go, let's meet those talented scholars."
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 literary meeting on March [-]rd. As for choosing a son-in-law... If Cheng Guogong arrives, you have to stop me!"
After walking out of the Misty Rain Pavilion, it was already sunset.
Looking at Huaping Lake, which was dyed red by the setting sun, Zhongli Ruoshui thought, if he were here, seeing this situation and writing a poem about the setting sun, would it be comparable to the famous Shangbuqi?
