Nongmen Shuxiangzhi returns to ancient writing books

Chapter 352
"Of course there are gifts." Ye Yixiao took out a thin piece of paper and handed it to Chuchu.

"What is this? A love letter?" Chu Chu took it, and wanted to pull back the hand that was interlocked by someone, and open the folded thin paper, but unexpectedly, Ye Yixiao increased his strength, making it impossible for her to break free.

Chu Chu had no choice but to tremble with one hand, and the thin paper that was originally folded in half unfolded. Chu Chu was surprised, and turned to look at him, "House deed?"

"That's right, we'll move in after we get married." Ye Yixiao said softly.

Chu Chu followed the deed with a smile and folded it back, "I like this gift."

Seeing that she seemed to have picked up a treasure, Ye Yixiao couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, but it's just a real estate, and it seems that he can give away more in the future.

*
The little girl Chu Qianyue had a new toy, and Ye Yixiao successfully gained a sense of presence and restored her image a bit. The two of them even played with building blocks while enjoying the shade in the gazebo.

This thing is very new to Chu Qianyue. At first, she didn't even know how to play it, but Ye Yixiao just taught her a few words casually, and she could have a great time playing it.

With Ye Yixiao by their side, the father and daughter wanted to cooperate to complete a courtyard. After this afternoon, the two not only got along harmoniously, but also cooperated very tacitly, and there were laughter from time to time.

This drew the praise of the people in the yard.Almost everyone knew how much Chu Qianyue repelled Ye Yixiao. Their attitude changed so quickly, and everyone couldn't help laughing and sighing, children are just children, and giving them some novelty gifts can make them happy.

Naturally, when everyone saw the so-called building blocks and the achievements of Ye Yixiao and Chu Qianyue, they couldn't help being amazed. Ye Yixiao really dotes on his daughter, and he wanted such a toy.

It seems that the wedding of the two is just around the corner.

The little girl Chu Qianyue naturally didn't know what these people thought. Finally, after Chu Hong and his party came back from school, her garden was finally completed.

Quan Qi, Jiang Yang, Lian Jue, and Ye Yiming finally arrived at Chu Chu's house again, but they were very restrained, not as crazy as before, and their voices were controlled at a certain volume, so as not to disturb Chu Chu's self-cultivation.

Although Chu Hong and Chu Xuan have persuaded them many times about this matter, there is no need to be so cautious, but these few are very cautious and cherish the hard-won opportunity of being in Chu Chu's house, for fear that because of their Coming over caused Chu Chu to be unable to rest well, and was forbidden to visit in the following days.

Chu Hong and Chu Xuan didn't persuade them any more. They went directly to the bookstore specially arranged by Chu Chu to finish their homework. After finishing their homework, they could go to Chu Qianyue and listen to her tell the story of Monkey Sun. Looking forward, the level can be the same as looking forward to eating various snacks.

As soon as Chu Hong pushed open the door, she saw that little girl Chu Qianyue should be in the study, occupying a large part of the long desk, with various small wooden blocks piled up in front of her, and she was holding two pieces and trying to assemble them, while On her right is a beautiful house that has been successfully assembled.

Even though they all come from famous families with rich family heritage, each of them is the favorite of the family, deeply loved, it can be said that they are extremely knowledgeable, and they will not be dazzled by some small things.

However, looking at the house assembled from small wooden blocks of different shapes, seeing Chu Qianyue holding two wooden blocks of different shapes in her hands, assembling them together with a click, and then picking up another block, found the small hole, inserted it directly, and immediately changed into another appearance.

Several people's eyes were straightened, they stood in a daze, and even forgot to make a sound.

"What is this? Why is it so magical?" Jiang Yang, who was still the youngest, reacted the fastest and went directly to the long table.

Only then did Chu Qianyue raise her head, and raised the half-assembled stone table in her hand, "This is called building blocks, although these wooden blocks are inconspicuous, but different wooden blocks can become different shapes when they are connected together. Object, isn't it interesting?"

Jiang Yang was not polite, and sat directly next to her, and asked with a smile, "Did sister Chu come up with this? I've never heard of such a magical thing as building blocks. It must be that sister Chu came up with it, right?" ?”

Chu Qianyue raised her small chin and said proudly, "My father gave it to me! Let me not be so boring, and play when I have nothing to do."

At this time, a few people had already sat down around the long table, and each of them started their hands unceremoniously, "Your father is too kind to you, and even bothered to prepare toys for you, my father will say that I am a loser!"

Quan Qi was thinking about how to assemble the two wooden blocks together, while complaining about his father.

"I said that you are already very good. You can be the only young master of Prince Qi's mansion. You will inherit the throne of King Qi in the future. Isn't it normal for King Qi to be strict with you?"

Ye Yiming rolled his eyes at him, and said aggrievedly, "Brother really has a daughter and forgot about his younger brother. He doesn't know where he is. Why didn't he prepare some small toys for me before?"

Chu Qianyue patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, we can play together, don't be sad."

"It's still a little girl who is considerate and treats uncle well." Ye Yiming finally felt a little comforted in his heart.

However, who knew that Chu Qianyue explained, "Daughters and younger brothers are of course different. My mother said that girls should be raised richly, and boys should be raised cheaply. Who makes you not a girl?"

Ye Yiming: "..."

He knew that there was no such thing as being considerate.

A few people had long forgotten what they were doing in the study, and they directly joined the army of building blocks. Even Chu Hong and Chu Xuan, who had always had the strongest self-control, were fascinated by these various splicing and assembling until Chu Chu and Ye Yixiao came over , How many people remember that there is still homework this time.

"If you come to the house as guests and do not complete your homework as the first criterion, the elders in your family will not condone you coming to play around every day."

Chu Chu's voice was cold and cold, and it was two extremes with her usual gentleness and laughter.

The four bowed their heads in deep thought, but none of them said anything.

"Although some of you don't like reading very much, you are all carefully cultivated juniors in your family, and you will become the pillars of your family in the future. If you come to me to play around and lose your mind on your studies, it will make me very embarrassed."

"Our family already has my eldest brother, so I don't need to support the family, so I should be okay?" Ye Yiming hurried to Ye Yixiao's side and separated from the other three friends.

"If you say that, the eldest brother will inherit Qi Wangfu in the future, and it has nothing to do with me. I should be fine, right?" Jiang Yang immediately abandoned Qiqi and stood beside Ye Yiming.

"So, I also have a big brother. The lintel of the general's mansion is naturally carried by my big brother. I don't care if I'm a plaything or not." Lian Jue also stood over.

Of the four people who were originally parallel, three of them had already stood opposite each other, and only Quan Quan was left alone, looking pitiful.

"Aren't you still my brothers? What's so great about having a big brother? You are the boss!" Quan Qi said aggrievedly.

"Ahem!" Chu Chu clenched her fist halfway between her lips, almost bursting out laughing, she couldn't be blamed for not having enough concentration, it was really Qi Qi's aggrieved appearance, so cute.

"All three of you stand over to me, don't you just have the heart to watch your elder brother work hard, and don't want to be their right-hand man and shoulder the responsibility of the Guangyao family together?"

Chu Chu glanced at several people, but the business was still cold.

"Sister Chu, I know I was wrong, I will do my homework now." Jiang Yang looked at his poor elder brother and immediately apologized.

With Jiang Yang at the beginning, the other people had a very good attitude of admitting their mistakes. They turned out the blank paper one by one and started to do their homework. Chu Chu nodded in satisfaction.

Like a primary school teacher, she walked slowly around the long table with her hands behind her back, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Ye Yixiao, are you sure this is your own brother? Didn't he pick it up from outside?" Chu Chu pointed at Ye Yiming and asked.

Ye Yixiao looked at her suspiciously, not knowing why she asked this question.

Ye Yiming had already stood up and retorted, "Of course I am my elder brother's biological younger brother, with the same father and mother, as if it were fake."

"Then why is your handwriting so unsightly, it doesn't look like your elder brother's handwriting at all." Chu Chu asked.

Ye Yiming's cheeks were slightly red, "I don't like to write big characters, and I don't like to practice calligraphy. Naturally, my writing is not as good as big brother's. Anyway, I am big brother's own younger brother. If you don't believe me, you can ask my big brother?"

Chu Chu turned to look at Ye Yixiao, "Really?"

Ye Yixiao touched his chin with one hand, and thought deeply, "I'm too old to remember. Maybe it's really not."

Ye Yiming: "..."

You must have a fake big brother.

Chu Chu couldn't help laughing, and looked at other people's handwriting, except for Chu Hong and Chu Xuan, the other people's handwriting was really indescribable.

"From now on, after school every day, if you want to visit my house, you have to learn big characters from Ye Yixiao for half an hour." Chu Chu said suddenly.

"Don't! The bachelor is very busy, how can he have time to teach us children?" Lian Jue immediately objected.

"That's right, that's right! Grand Scholars have a lot of business to do, how can we take up the precious time of Grand Scholars?" Quan Qi immediately added.

Jiang Yang is the smartest, "Scholar, you are busy with official duties and work very hard on weekdays. It is not easy to have some free time. It is better to rest more. You can accompany Sister Chu to recite poems and fight against Sister Chu, who plays with building blocks with Xiaoyueyue. OK."

Chu Chu clenched her fists tightly to keep herself from laughing, "Why don't you talk?" She asked Ye Yiming, who was silent on the side.

"Why do you still struggle when you know the result? It's a waste of saliva and energy. Sister Chu, when did your elder brother agree to the matter you proposed?"

Ye Yiming sighed heavily, feeling that his good days were coming to an end, the elder brother was not so strict, his hands started to hurt even before class started.

"Not bad, not bad, you still have self-knowledge." Chu Chu said with a smile.

Lian Jue still wanted to struggle to the death, "What if the bachelor doesn't have time?"

"Isn't there still me?" Chu Chu said with a smile.

"Sister Chu, you want to teach us how to practice calligraphy?" It was Ye Yiming's turn to be shocked. He had seen her calligraphy before, and it was too horrible to describe. "Don't make a mess, shall we?"

"I can't teach?" Chu Chu raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Ye Yiming suddenly felt the cold and stern gaze from his elder brother, like the cold winter wind, which made him tremble all over, "I can teach! I can definitely teach!"

The attitude is sincere and the words are earnest.

Only then did Chuchu smile in satisfaction, "I'll teach you how to count, so you won't be able to understand the account books after saving money, and you won't even know if someone has stolen your money."

"But... But, we still need to draw! We still need to draw the Rubik's Cube and puzzle patterns. If we spend half an hour in class, we won't have time to draw." The witty Jiang Yang said.

"Stop painting if you don't have time, your family is short of money?" Chu Chu couldn't help but gave them a supercilious look.

"You should study hard now, earning money is the business of adults, and you can ignore these things in the future."

"But, the little girl wants to draw picture books by herself to earn money?" Chu Xuan protested.

"Can you be the same as me? I can make money, but you can't." Chu Qianyue's immature voice suddenly sounded.

"Why is it different? They are all children, and we are older than you!" Chu Xuan reasoned seriously.

Chu Qianyue walked over and said seriously, "I'm a girl and you are a boy. I want to save a dowry for myself, otherwise I won't be able to get married when I grow up. It's easier to get married with more dowry. You don't need to marry, and you don't need to save a dowry, so what money do you earn?"

The corner of Chu Xuan's mouth twitched, and he looked at her suspiciously, "Who is talking nonsense? What does your marriage have to do with the amount of dowry?"

Chu Qianyue turned her head and complained, "Mother, uncle said you were talking nonsense."

neat:"……"

Chu Xuan: "..."

The corners of Chu Chu's eyes twitched slightly, how would she explain it, she really just said it casually at the time!

"There is a lot of dowry, so it's easy to get married. Is there a problem?" Ye Yixiao helped Chu Chu out of the siege in time.

"No problem! No problem at all." Ye Yiming answered immediately, he kept winking at Chu Xuan, offending his elder brother, it was no joke.

However, Chu Xuan is very stubborn, he really wants to earn some money to relieve Chu Chu's pressure.

"If you do things half-heartedly, you will not succeed. Don't think too easily about the imperial examination. You should be an adult to make money. It is more important for you to study now. If you really want to help, then study hard and get fame as soon as possible. .”

Ye Yixiao said.

Chu Xuan fell silent.

Several other people have passed the freshness period, whether they can continue to do business and earn money, they don't really care.

Zai Chuchu told them that if their grades in the academy were all first-class, he would give them all a surprise, and if they performed well, he would give them a set of building blocks.

A few children are interested in this building block. When they heard such a promise, they agreed without thinking about it.

Things seemed to settle down like that.

Later, when Chu Chu went to the engraving workshop to click on the printing number of the second volume of "Xiu Xian Zhuan", Ye Yixiao asked in puzzlement, "Why do you care so much about those little kids? You even have to teach them."

Slender fingers caressed stacks of notebooks, "Your brother is also in it, and your best friend's brother, is it appropriate for you to call it that?"

"So, you want to say that you urged them to improve because of my face?" Ye Yixiao asked.

"That's one reason, and another reason, don't you think, the relationship cultivated from childhood will be more sincere and firm?" Chu Chu turned her head and smiled.

"Naturally, I won't be kind and do good deeds for no reason. Chu Hong and Chu Xuan want to take the road of imperial examinations, make friends, and expand their connections. Of course, they have to start from childhood."

Ye Yixiao frowned slightly, then stretched his eyebrows, hiding the worry in his eyes, "You are right, I drink Chu Huanchen and I have a winning streak, and I have known each other since childhood."

"Then what about you and Feng Zian? Didn't you also know each other since childhood? Why is your relationship so bad?" Chu Chu asked suspiciously.

"I can only say that I was too good when I was a child. Wu was better than him, and Wen was better than him, which put him under too much pressure. You know, some people just resent because of jealousy." Ye Yixiao explained.

Chu Chu reached out and pinched his face, "It's really thick, no wonder you can say such things."

Ye Yixiao held her palm with well-defined knuckles, with a firm attitude, "It's the truth. I really overwhelm Feng Zi'an in everything."

Chu Chu suddenly suppressed the smile on her lips, "But, after you become a commoner, Feng Zi'an will overwhelm you everywhere, don't you regret it?"

"Of course not." There was no hesitation, no hesitation.

Chu Chu clenched his generous palm and did not continue this topic.

In this era, for men, making meritorious deeds and increasing their ranks are their inevitable pursuits, but now, Ye Yixiao has given up everything he has worked hard for in exchange for the chance to be with her.

Officials in both the court and the central government said that Ye Yixiao will be the next elder, and Ji Li's future position must belong to him.

When the court elder, he was under one person, above ten thousand people, supreme power, supreme glory, everything was at his fingertips, but he gave it up for her.

Faced with Shu Qian's questioning before, she could say without hesitation that this was his own choice, and it had nothing to do with her whether he regretted it in the future or not.

However, she had always wanted to ask him, and now she finally asked and got the answer, and the faint worry in her heart disappeared without a trace because of his words.

So, she is still very lucky. Although she came to a poor family, she has a family who loves her, a sensible daughter, a friend who loves her wholeheartedly, and a lover who is so affectionate. Even if the poison cannot be cured, she has no regrets that's it.

*
Time flies by, from midsummer to early autumn, the capital is still extremely hot, and the teahouses are overcrowded every day. The news that Ji's Bookstore will launch Shen Lang's "The Romance of the Gods of Martial God" has spread out as early as ten days ago.

People in the capital who have been in a book shortage for a long time are gearing up one by one, waiting for the opening of Jijia Bookstore tomorrow morning, and buying a copy to have a look.

In the teahouse, Chu Chuzheng and Zhang Xuan were sitting on the tea table, eating melon seeds and chatting, very leisurely.

"Chuchu, you don't know, I was almost suffocated during this period of time, my grandmother didn't let me go out at all, not only that, but also asked my mother to teach me etiquette, female red, I'm going crazy, wait for daddy to come back next time , I must follow him back to Hongyan Pass, this place in the capital is really not a place for people to stay."

Zhang Xuan threw a peanut into her mouth, chewing and complaining.

"It's really hard work for you." Chu Chu was very glad that she was not born in such a family, otherwise, she would definitely go crazy.

"That's not it!" Zhang Xuan who got the approval nodded heavily, "By the way, why do I feel that "The Romance of the Martial God" is a bit like "The Legend of Xiuxian"?"

"It's just the same theme, so it's not surprising that you feel this way." Chu Chu looked at the storyteller in the stands and said with a smile.

"I don't think so much. It's not as exciting as "The Legend of Xiuxian". Why are everyone's reactions so intense?" Zhang Xuan asked puzzled.

"You don't understand that after reading the wonderful storybook, you don't feel like a new storybook. It's hard to come out with the same theme. Everyone's expectations are naturally higher."

Chu Chu explained.

Zhang Xuan suddenly leaned forward, put her hands on the tea table, and stared at Chu Chu, "How do you deal with it? Ji's Bookstore is clearly trying to steal your business."

"It's just a small skill, not worth mentioning." Chu Chu picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

The attitude is wanton and arrogant, frivolous and arrogant.

Zhang Xuan gave a thumbs up, "Excellent!"

Xie Yu, who came to check the guests' reactions, heard Chu Chu's words verbatim, and most of the joy that was originally due to the enthusiastic response of the guests disappeared immediately.

He strode forward, "Isn't this Mrs. Chu? I heard that you are unwell, so I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chu Chu raised her eyelids and gave him a sideways glance, "Isn't my body all thanks to the big shopkeeper? If it wasn't for the big shopkeeper, how could I go to jail, and how could I commit such a crime?"

Xie Yu pursed his lips, his lips trembling with anger.

"In order to earn money, the big shopkeeper really does everything he can to print a small bookstore like our Shuxiangju. It is said that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, but the big shopkeeper is a complete hypocrite!"

There was a smile in the gentle voice, as if he was joking, but in that casual gesture, his eyes were extremely serious.

"Chuchu—" the low voice was full of anger, Xie Yu glared at her fiercely, "This matter has already been settled, and the privately engraved and stolen seals have just been written into the penalty. Before that, it was all Allowed!"

Chu Chu just laughed lightly, "The big shopkeeper must pay more attention to his actions in the future, don't be unwilling, and make a voice of privately engraving and stealing seals again."

Xie Yu flicked his sleeves, "Joke! I'm the big shopkeeper of Ji's Bookstore, why can't I be reconciled?"

"You should understand in your heart. Although your Jijia Bookstore is the largest bookstore in the capital, no matter in terms of business or reputation, it is really inferior to our Shuxiangju." Chu Chu said.

Xie Yu snorted coldly, "Arrogance! It's just a storybook. If you have books, our Ji Family Bookstore can also have them. Compared with what you just saw, our "Romance of the Martial God" is very popular."

As he spoke, he couldn't help showing a smug smile, "Tomorrow morning, "The Romance of the Martial God" will be sold at Ji's Bookstore. Madam Chu is welcome to come and watch the fun."

"At that time, Madam will know that you, a small scholarly residence, are as insignificant as an ant in front of our Jijia Bookstore. Our bookstore's books are definitely more popular than yours. In front of our Jijia Bookstore, there is simply not enough to see."

Xie Yu was very insolent.

Chu Chu just shrugged her shoulders, and said very casually, "Then I wish you a great story."

Surrounding audience: "..."

Your eyes are different from what you said, but they are not the same at all!

"I hope that after tomorrow, your attitude will still be so reckless and unrestrained." Xie Yu sneered, gave Chu Chu a contemptuous look, turned and left, but only took a few steps before stopping again.

"If Shuxiangju cannot continue to operate in the capital, Madam Chu can contact you. Our Ji Family Bookstore will definitely offer a fair price to buy Shuxiangju."

After letting go of the harsh words, Xie Yu left the teahouse confidently.

"Damn, it's just old man Ge's brother-in-law who is so arrogant." Zhang Xuan was very angry. If Chu Chu hadn't stopped her just now, she might not be able to resist showing her fists.

"You also said that he is the elder's in-law, so he naturally has the capital to be arrogant." Chu Chu's indifferent attitude stimulated Zhang Xuan.

"Can you bear this?"

"Of course not." Chu Chu put down her teacup, with a slightly stronger smile on her face.

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, "It seems that you have a good idea? Tell me, do you want me to help?"

"You have already helped me a lot. If it wasn't for your small workshop, how could the craftsmen in my Shuxiangju handle so many guests?" Chu Chu said with a smile.

But Zhang Xuan became serious, "It is clear that you have done our General's Mansion a great favor."

"Those soldiers who retreated from the battlefield simply don't have the ability to survive. If you didn't come up with this idea, let them learn the ability of engraving, and engrave scripts for you Shuxiangju to earn wages, they would not be able to survive at all."

Speaking of which, Zhang Xuan stood up, holding a teacup, "I will replace wine with tea, I respect you, thank you."

Chu Chu shook her head helplessly, "We are friends. Anyway, I always look for engraving workshops wherever I go. There are people in your general's mansion, and you are reliable. It saves me trouble. It is obviously a matter of mutual benefit."

Zhang Xuan regained her hippie smile, "Then if there is any mutual benefit in the future, don't forget me."

Chu Chu was silent and deep in thought. After a long time, she suddenly asked, "Does your grandmother dislike you very much?"

"Oh, I can't help it. Who told me that I'm not a talented girl with a reputation in the capital like Zhou Xin?" Zhang Xuan was very helpless.

"Then when you get married in the future, the mansion will definitely not prepare too much dowry for you." Chu Chu lowered her eyes to analyze.

"Probably not, what about my father and mother?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Be prepared! It's best if you can have some money." Chu Chu said.

Zhang Xuan laughed suddenly, and went to her side in a doggy manner, "Chuchu, you are so smart, is there anything you can do?"

"We can cooperate and open a shop." Chu Chu said.

……

The topic was successfully diverted by Chu Chu, and the two went back to Chu Chu's house directly, and then discussed the problems in the shop.When Zhang Xuan left with a thick stack of papers, she had long forgotten how Chu Chu would deal with Ji's Bookshop.

*
Early the next morning, when the shops on both sides of the street had just opened, people had already gathered at the door of Ji's Bookstore.

Xie Yu got up very early today, and when he arrived at the bookstore, the bookstore was already open. Although Ji’s Bookstore is very large, Xie Yu set up two windows directly in order to create a scene where the story book is very popular. A place dedicated to selling "The Romance of the Martial God".

People who want to buy scripts don't need to go to the bookstore, just go there.

With such a setting, there was a long queue outside Ji's Bookstore, which seemed very lively.

Holding a folding fan, Xie Yu stood at the door of the bookstore, watching such a lively scene, Xie Yu was extremely satisfied.

"It's still possible for you to find a way. I know that there is absolutely no problem for you to take care of the bookstore." Xie Yu got off the carriage, saw such a lively scene, and smiled very satisfied.

"Sister, don't worry, Shuxiangju doesn't have a deep foundation, and it's nothing special to rely on two scripts to become famous! Now our bookstore also has scripts, and it seems to be more popular than Shuxiangju. , now that there are more customers here, that Shuxiangju won’t be able to last long.”

Xie Yu was full of confidence.

"That's good! That's good! I'll wait for your good news." Xie Yu said with a smile.

"Good news! Good news! The second volume of "Xiu Xian Zhuan" is now on sale! The Book Fair Shuxiangju rewards old customers with a mysterious gift, first come first served, while stocks last!"

"Good news! Good news! The second volume of "Xiu Xian Zhuan" is now on sale! The Book Fair Shuxiangju rewards old customers with a mysterious gift, first come first served, while stocks last!"

"Good news! Good news! The second volume of "Xiu Xian Zhuan" is now on sale! The Book Fair Shuxiangju rewards old customers with a mysterious gift, first come first served, while stocks last!"

……

At some point, a group of children appeared on the whole street, each holding a piece of paper in their hands, shouting loudly while running.

There are especially many children in front of Ji's Bookstore, shouting and distributing papers, it was very lively for a while.
