Chapter 5: Brother has money(1/2)
When the piano found Yuheng again, it was already in the end.
She went to the shop under the big banyan tree in Erjinggou Alley but was empty. Then she followed the mark left by Yuheng and found a porcelain shop in Xishi.
Yuheng followed Zhiyuan to Huaping Lake, and before leaving, he leaned into the shop.
Of course, Li Chenan didn't know that there was a little tail behind him. At this moment, he was explaining the thing drawn on the paper to the shopkeeper...
The difficulty is not very high, but the shape of the instrument is a bit weird.
The two sides quickly agreed, and by the way, he bought a few jars and customized 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 western market.
Xishi is an extremely prosperous market in Guangling City, where you can buy oil, salt, firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Of course, there are also iron, porcelain, wood, etc.
Li Chenan walked around, occasionally going to a shop to pick up a small item and taking a look with interest, and then walked slowly, with a wide range of goods and a constant stream of people. He suddenly felt that this feeling was quite good. This was an experience that he had never had in his previous life, and thought that this was the down-to-earth human fireworks.
After making a fortune in the previous life, I lived a life in the clouds, which is enviable by many people, but they don’t know the ups and downs behind the life.
For the sake of business intrigue and intrigue, I wish I could kill my opponent immediately, and I would like to deal with the officialdom, flatter and humble as a grandson.
The tendon in my mind is always tense, for fear that something will happen somewhere and it will cause me to fall from the clouds.
Insomnia, anxiety, and even depression are tortures that others don’t see, and what they see is the superficial scenery.
This is great now.
Although the small yard was simple, it slept peacefully.
Now there is no anxiety, and everything can be done slowly. Well, there is no need to make a business after the tavern is opened. It is enough to make a small profit.
Only now Li Chenan truly understands that money is really an outsider.
It is indispensable, but there is no need to pursue it too carefully.
It's enough to have a family of normal expenses. Of course, if you can still have a few surpluses throughout the year, it's naturally the best.
This is not difficult for him.
Li Chenan thought so, and passed by a wooden shop, bought two more beds here, and bought several mattresses and quilts at the grocery shop next door.
These things were given to Qian Shop and were responsible for delivery, and the service was very good.
When he came out of the shop and continued to move forward, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Brother, brother!"
Turning around, it was her sister Li Qiaoxi.
Li Qiaoxi was fourteen years old and was born quite small just like her name, but her eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, her hair was slightly yellow, and her childishness seemed a bit heavy.
But her mind was very meticulous. When she was still at that house, her sister never disliked her brother's stupidity, but instead kept encouraging him.
"It's really you. I went to that shop and you're not here."
Li Chen put a small bag twisted in Li Qiaoxi's hand and smiled and said, "Come on this western market, is there anything wrong?"
"My mother is sick. A few days ago, I hired a doctor to get a medicine. After taking three doses, I still haven't improved... I, I wanted to invite Dr. Zhang from Chuntang again..."
Li Qiaoxi pursed her lips, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, her cheeks bulged and said hatefully: "That woman won't give money!"
Of course that woman is the concubine.
If it were said, Li Chenan and his sister should have called her Erniang, but it was obvious that both the brother and sister had no good impression of the Erniang.
Now that my mother is sick and needs to be treated for gold decoction, she doesn't even give her money... This makes Li Chenan frown.
"Let's go, let's invite Dr. Zhang from Chuntang back."
Li Qiaoxi didn't leave.
Because the medical expenses in Huichuntang are very expensive.
She has no money in her pocket.
And her brother's pocket was obviously cleaner than her face.
She took a deep breath and lifted the small bag in her hand, "I took a dose of medicine with that prescription, and then fry it for my mother to take it."
Li Qiaoxi went to Erjinggou Alley to find Li Chenan and never thought that this brother would have money to hire a doctor. The four taels of silver he gave him ten days ago might have been spent on Li Qiaoxi.
She just hopes that her brother can go back to her mother.
But what Li Chenan said to her at this time made her look shocked and raised her head-
"Go to Huichuntang, I have money."
Taking Li Qiaoxi's incredible eyes, Li Chenan took out the remaining three ten taels of silver bills from his arms, and about five taels of silver.
Li Qiaoxi opened her mouth wide and suddenly became nervous. She 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 has been owed a lot of debts because he went to the gambling house.
At first, he did not go there by himself, but was taken by a gangster named Sun Er in Erjinggou Alley.
The first time I won a little one or two silver dollars.
The second big win was five taels of silver.
Then he was out of control and then lost to the sky.
If it weren't for the deed of the shop in his mother's hands, Li Chen'an would have found himself tragically and would not even have a place to stay.
So at this moment, Li Chenan suddenly took out so much money and really scared Li Qiaoxi.
"Brother, you swear to your mother...you...you..."
Her face was very anxious, and she stomped her feet, looking as if she was so angry: "Why are you so unscrupulous! You are going to piss off your mother to death!"
A warm feeling suddenly rose in Li Chen'an's heart.
Not only did he not get angry because his sister didn't ask for any blame, he smiled.
How long has it been since anyone cared about themselves like this?
He rubbed Li Qiaoxi's head, "Brother didn't go to bet."
"Where did you get so much money?"
"My brother earned it seriously, let's go to Huichuntang, don't delay treating my mother."
Li Qiaoxi looked at Li Chenan suspiciously, and she had never had any strange things on his face, but she felt something strange in her heart.
My brother was cowardly, timid, and even more unspeakable.
The cowardice was even engraved on his face. He was always timid and always kept his head curled when walking, as if he was afraid that someone would recognize him, and even more afraid that someone would know that he was the useless eldest son of the Li family who was not as good as martial arts.
But now...
Now his face was filled with a calm smile, and the indifference was the spirit that made her Li Qiaoxi feel at ease.
So she temporarily put down her doubts and felt that it was more important to treat her mother first.
The brother and sister left the West City and headed towards Huichun Hall located in Changle Alley.
...
...
Painting Pingtung, the mist and rain pavilion.
When Yuheng told Ning Chuchu and Zhongli Ruoshui in detail what she saw, the two women looked at each other in disbelief.
"I originally thought that his poem took him a lot of time to write it, after all, it's not easy to write lyrics."
Zhongli Ruoshui sat upright, sighed slowly, and said, "He actually picked up his pen and finished it... In this way, the stack of paper in his hand is about ten poems!"
"No matter what the other poems are, just writing this writing is like a momentum that is evident, it is not comparable to those who claim to be talented men! What kind of erudition is this, what kind of attainment is this!"
"No, I have to go this guy!"
Zhongli Ruoshui stood up and said, "Go now!"
Of course, Ning Chuchu was also shocked by the young man's talent, but she was more rational than Zhongli Ruoshui.
She pressed Zhongli Ruoshui's shoulder, "Don't be so impatient, haven't I let Kaiyang check it?"
"The first test here is about to end. You have to go to Huafang to host the next poem competition. As for him... I will talk about it after Kaiyang has investigated his life experience."
"After all, such a talented man is somewhat unreasonable to hide in the market. I suspect he comes from other places. If there is a problem with his character... from this poem, he is deeply hurt by love. If he already has a family elsewhere, even if he is talented, he is not a good match for you."
Ning Chuchu's words calmed down Zhongli Ruoshui.
Although Guangling City is big, a talented man who amazed the world suddenly appeared so suddenly. It really makes no sense.
Some aspects of literature have similarities with martial arts. You need to study hard in literature and practice hard in martial arts. They are all water-melting skills. Even the most talented genius needs to accumulate and then make a lot of money.
Of course, what really stopped her was Ning Chuchu's last sentence.
Of course, the third lady in Zhongli’s family could not be a young lady for someone, even if he was a first-rank official!
Didn’t Zhiyuan say he wanted to open a tavern in Erjinggou Alley?
There is still time to check all the eighteen generations of his ancestors clearly, so that it will be safer to take action at that time.
