Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

That day, Zhang Youcai led a group of people to the bookstore to return books with great fanfare. This scene was seen by many guests in the bookstore.

Zhang Ling is quite famous in Qingshui Academy, not only because he was admitted as a scholar at the age of 19, but also because his uncle was the magistrate of Qingshui County.

Although there are nerds in the world who "don't hear what's going on outside the window", more scholars are still good at studying. Otherwise, they will never get ahead in their lives just by studying!

Many scholars at Qingshui Academy knew that their reputation as a scholar would be the end of their lives, so how to get an official position in the county government by virtue of their reputation as a scholar was something more scholars considered.

Many scholars in the academy held Zhang Ling in high esteem, hoping that he could speak kind words to them in front of his uncle, and maybe they would have a good future in the future.

Therefore, when they heard that Zhang Ling had returned books from Qingshui Bookstore and threatened to never buy books from Qingshui Bookstore again, many scholars followed suit and also returned books and said they would never buy books from Qingshui Bookstore again!

In just a few days, Qingshui Bookstore returned a large number of books. When the owner of Qingshui Bookstore came back and heard about the situation, he quickly sent someone to investigate.

Zhang Youcai has been observing the activities of Qingshui Bookstore these days. He is very proud after knowing that he has achieved his goal. He brags to others while drinking. Therefore, the owner of Qingshui Bookshop quickly found out and found out that the problem lies with Guo Yuchang. .

Guo Yuchang also sent people to inquire about it. After learning the news, he thought about it at home for a day, and finally took the initiative to find the owner of Qingshui Bookstore and asked to resign.

He worked at Qingshui Bookstore for most of his life, and his boss always treated him well.

Now that his problem has affected the bookstore's business, he feels really sorry.

.

The owner of Qingshui Book Store was also reluctant to let Guo Yuchang leave, but his small book store couldn't stand up to the county magistrate's nephew. The whole family relied on this book store to make a living, so he had no choice but to let him go. Guo Yuchang left.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, when Chen Xi and Chen Qi came to Qingshui Book Store with money to find Guo Yuchang, they found out after asking that his uncle was no longer the shopkeeper of Qingshui Book Store. They were shocked and hurried to Guo's house. .

"Uncle, concubine, what happened these days!"

Guo Yuchang sighed, and Mrs. Qin cried and said: "The Zhang family is really not a thing. After knowing the relationship between your uncle and your family, they asked people to return all the books and threatened to never buy books from the bookstore again. . Others fawned over the Zhang family and imitated them. Your uncle was worried that he would harm the bookstore, so he resigned."

Chen Qi was so angry that he stood there and stamped his feet, while Chen Xi also looked gloomy.

"Zhang Ling still has a grudge against our family, but due to the relationship with the Xishan Military Camp, he couldn't attack our family. He knew about our relationship with our uncle and deliberately caused harm. I'm sorry, it's our uncle and concubine who are the ones who are in trouble!"

Although Guo Yuchang was depressed, he did not feel any blame for his sister's family.

He knew that it was not his and his sister's family that were wrong in this matter, but the Zhang family!

"It's okay. I've worked hard all my life and I want to take a break this time. I'll take Xiaoqi to see my husband today. Xiaoqi will come with me. Xiaoxi, you can talk to your sister-in-law at home."

After Guo Yuchang left with Chen Qi, Mrs. Qin wiped her tears and cheered up, "It will take a while for your uncle and the others to come back. It's probably noon. You don't come here often, so I'll stay here today."

Next time you have dinner, I will also show you my skills. "

Chen Xi smiled and nodded.

"Last time I ate the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs you cooked at your house, Xiaoyuan kept talking about it for a long time when he came back. I have been practicing according to your instructions for a long time. Today, you can try how it tastes when I cook it!"

Qin had already said this, so Chen Xi didn't interfere and just did some chores on the side.

Last time at Chen's house, Mrs. Qin was very reserved as a guest, but now she doesn't have so many scruples at her own house and cooks very quickly.

When it was almost noon, Guo Yuchang came back with Chen Qi. When Chen Qi saw his sister, he couldn't help but show his big teeth.

Chen Xi knew it was done as soon as he saw it, and couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Sun is also Xiaoyuan's husband. He has been working in the academy since he passed the imperial examination ten years ago. He taught Xiao Qi several articles and Xiao Qi answered well. Mr. Sun became interested in talents and decided to teach him Take Xiaoqi as your disciple!"

"That's great. Xiaoxi and I have been worried all morning! From now on, Xiaoqi will live in our house and go to school with Xiaoyuan. You two, please wash your hands and let's have dinner!"

"Okay, open the bottle of rice wine I collected. I want to have a drink today!"

By the time the meal was over, Guo Yuchang was already drunk to the point of unconsciousness.

After Mrs. Qin settled Guo Yuchang, she went out to see Chen Xi and her brother out. She sighed and said, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Qi, don't worry about it. Your uncle is also upset. He has been holding it back these days in order not to let me and the Xiaoyuan is worried. He is also happy today, so he just drank a few more drinks, so let him also relieve the worries in his heart. "

Chen Xi nodded: "I know, go back quickly, Jizi, and take good care of your uncle. After drinking, he

Don't get cold. "

Qin held Chen Xi's hand and smiled and said, "As expected, my daughter is considerate and thoughtful. Then you and Xiao Qi go back more slowly and wait a few days to pack up and bring Xiao Qi's things."

Afterwards, Chen Xi and Chen Qi returned to Shanghe Village in silence.

When returning home, there were several villagers at home selling eggs. Guo just watched and counted the eggs, and then gave the villagers the money for the eggs. Even if it was only a few dozen coins, everyone was happy. Not from ear to ear.

"Oh, Xiao Xi and Xiao Qi are back. I have long said that this girl Xiao Xi is capable. Whoever marries Xiao Xi in the future will be blessed!"

"Yeah, then I'm afraid the Wang family will regret it to death now!"

"It's not uncommon for Xiao Xi to regret it even if he regrets it. Now Chen Sansao's family knows the military master in the military camp. Maybe Xiao Xi will marry a general in the future!"

Mrs. Guo liked hearing this and nodded with a smile.

Chen Xi was never angry at the villagers' jokes, so he smiled and entered the house.

But Mrs. Guo saw something was wrong with her daughter and grabbed Chen Qi after sending the villagers away.

"What's wrong? Things didn't go well?"

Chen Qi shook his head: "It's done. I will be able to study in Qingshui Academy on the first day of next month. My husband will be Brother Xiaoyuan's husband."

"Then why do you two look so unhappy?"

"Uncle is no longer the shopkeeper of Qingshui Book Store, because the Zhang family knew about the relationship between uncle and our family and deliberately caused trouble for the book store."

"what!"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she was shocked and quickly asked Chen Xi: "Xiao Xi, what Xiao Qi said is true. Your uncle is no longer the shopkeeper?"

Chen Xi spoke in a deep voice: "Zhang Jiazhen

It's so abominable! We only found out about this when we went to the bookstore today. "

Mrs. Guo immediately walked around the room anxiously, muttering: "What can we do! The expenses of your uncle's family depend entirely on your uncle's salary at the bookstore. Xiaoyuan is still studying at Qingshui Academy. What will we do next?”

Chen Xi suddenly raised his head: "Mom, I have an idea, can you listen to it first?"

"What's the idea?"

"Let uncle do business too!"
