After breakfast on the [-]th, Ji Chunshan harnessed the carriage, opened the shed and fixed it, and first loaded the birthday presents for Zhou Jing into the carriage, as well as the manuscripts for the book shop and the wooden box containing twenty paintings. Finally, two thick bamboo mats were placed on the car for Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu to sit on.

When the preparations were almost done, Ye Qinglan also came out of the house, holding Ji Ningxu who was wearing thick and warm clothes. She was also wearing a plain cloak with fringed edges that Ji Chunshan bought from the town a few days ago.

After locking the door of the main room, Ji Chunshan led the carriage outside the courtyard, first carried Ji Ningxu into the carriage, and then helped Ye Qinglan into the carriage, and waited for the father and son to sit firmly, then led the carriage to the town .

Today was the first day of the white horse's official work, and there were people sitting in the car. To be on the safe side, Ji Chunshan himself did not get in the car, but led the horse along the way.He has big strides and walks fast, and the horse follows his speed, which is not much slower than his driving in a carriage.

On the way, Ji Chunshan also came across several ox carts pulling people or goods, and he was the only one in the cart, but without exception, all the people on the carts were attracted by the strangely shaped carriages.

With an almost 100% attention rate all the way, they arrived in the town soon. Ji Chunshan led the carriage to the painting shop first, and was going to get back the picture of Guanyin that was sent to him.

When he arrived at the painting shop, Ji Chunshan didn't go in, he just gave the receipt to Ye Qinglan, asking him to go in to pick up the painting, while he led the horse outside.No, he waited for a long time, but no one came out. He thought it was some accident. When he was about to go in to have a look, he saw Ye Qinglan holding a long wooden box, but it was personally delivered by the shopkeeper of the painting shop. out.

Ji Chunshan hurriedly stepped forward to take the wooden box from Ye Qinglan's hand, and asked again: "Why is it so long?"

Ye Qinglan smiled at him and said, "I said something, so I was delayed for a while."

Although Ji Chunshan didn't know what was going on, but seeing Ye Qinglan's appearance, he knew it was not a bad thing, so he was relieved and didn't ask any further questions. After nodding to the shopkeeper of the painting shop, he turned around and put the wooden box in his hands. Back to the carriage.

Seeing that Ji Chunshan was well-groomed, and he seemed very close and familiar with Ye Qinglan, the shopkeeper of the painting shop asked, "Mr. Ye, is this the head of Ji?" Just now in the shop, Ye Qinglan said that his husband His family name is Ji.

Ye Qinglan nodded and said with a smile, "Exactly."

The shopkeeper praised: "I see that Master Ji has a dignified body and a dignified appearance. You can tell at a glance that he is a clear and upright man. Mr. Ye is gentle and elegant, and has a wonderful brush painting. He is really a match made in heaven."

Ye Qinglan didn't want the shopkeeper to praise him and Ji Chunshan, not to mention his own, but he also agreed with the shopkeeper's words about Ji Chunshan, as for Bi Ren...

Because he was afraid that the carriage would block the door of the store, Ji Chunshan parked the carriage a little further. Ye Qinglan and the shopkeeper didn't speak very loudly, so he didn't know what they said.

After Ye Qinglan bid farewell to the shopkeeper and walked to the carriage, she smiled and said to him: "Just now the shopkeeper said that you have a dignified body and a dignified appearance. You can tell that you are a good man who is clear and upright."

Ji Chunshan was happy when he heard the words, and said without humility: "Oh? Then this shopkeeper has a good eye for people."

Ye Qinglan shook her head and laughed.

"Get in the car." Ji Chunshan said and stretched out his hand to support Ye Qinglan's arm.

Ye Qinglan didn't move, she put one hand on Ji Chunshan's hand holding his arm, and asked beseechingly: "I'm tired from sitting all the way, I want to walk, is that okay?"

"Of course." Ji Chunshan smiled, then let go of his hand, and said: "It's fine to walk, there are books shops not far in front of the left and right, and there are not many roads."

Ye Qinglan wanted to walk if he didn't want to take the car, and Ji Ningxu himself didn't want to take the car, so Ji Chunshan took him down and let him walk with Ye Qinglan.

On the way to the book shop, Ye Qinglan told Ji Chunshan what happened in the painting shop, and it turned out that it was also because of the Guanyin picture.

The last time Ji Chunshan sent the Avalokitesvara painting to the painting shop, the guy in the shop received him. He accepted the painting according to the normal process, left a request, and after issuing the receipt, Ji Chunshan left, not wanting to come back to the painting shop The shopkeeper inadvertently saw the Guanyin map, and immediately asked the clerk about the history.When I knew that someone would come to pick up the painting today, I waited in the store ahead of time.

Hearing this, Ji Chunshan couldn't help but said: "So it's because of your paintings? Wouldn't the shopkeeper of this painting shop also invite you to paint?"

"Yeah." Ye Qinglan immediately smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Ye Qinglan was so happy, Ji Chunshan also laughed. He didn't ask any more about the compensation. After all, for Ye Qinglan whose future was ruined, being able to make a difference is the most important thing.

Soon they arrived at the bookstore, because there was a horse-holding post in front of the store, Ji Chunshan tied up the carriage, and then took out the wooden box containing manuscripts and paintings from the carriage, and the three of them entered the store together.

There was only one guy named Xiao Liu'er in the store, but he still recognized Ji Chunshan. Seeing him coming, although he brought someone else with him, he didn't ask much, and invited him directly to the inner room. After offering tea and pastries, I just went upstairs and called Shopkeeper Song to come down.

Shopkeeper Song quickly came down from the second floor, and before the stairs reached the end, he hurriedly said to Ji Chunshan: "Brother Ji, I didn't expect you to come so fast, you're welcome, you're welcome."

"Shopkeeper Song, you're being polite." Ji Chunshan put down his teacup, got up and smiled, "Knowing that Shopkeeper Song is in a hurry to print a book, so I'll send it to you as soon as the painting is finished." Saying this, he handed over the wooden box to Mr. To the nearest shopkeeper Song.

"It's true, that's really great." Shopkeeper Song took the wooden box but didn't open it to look at it. Instead, he looked at Ye Qinglan, who was very unfamiliar to him, and asked, "I don't know who this is?"

Shopkeeper Song saw that Ji Chunshan had brought someone else besides himself, at first he thought it was his younger brother, but when he saw the red lines on Ye Qinglan's eyebrows and Ji Ningxu, he probably thought it should be Ji Chunshan's wife.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chunshan said: "This is Ye Qinglan, the author of those paintings in your hand." After speaking, he said to Ye Qinglan: "Qinglan, this is the shopkeeper Song of the book store."

"Hello Shopkeeper Song." Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded at Shopkeeper Song.

"Mr. Ye is polite, please sit down." Shopkeeper Song hurriedly nodded back, but he was very puzzled. Earlier, Ji Chunshan said that the artist who painted was his younger brother, but now he said that it was this person named Ye Qinglan, but they had different surnames. How are brothers?

"Shopkeeper Song, why don't you take a look at the painting first?" If there is no problem with the painting, then quickly check out. They still have something to do, Ji Chunshan said the second half of the sentence in his heart.

"That should be the case, but I don't need to look at it," Shopkeeper Song came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jinyu is on the second floor right now, I'll go up and bring it to him, sit down for a while, I'll come down soon .”

"It's okay, shopkeeper Song is here." Ji Chunshan said with a gesture of invitation.

Shopkeeper Song nodded, and went back upstairs with the wooden box, but after a short meeting, he came down again. Ji Chunshan thought he could pay the bill and leave, but Shopkeeper Song said to Ye Qinglan, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Jin Yu Please go upstairs and see me, is it convenient?"

Ye Qinglan subconsciously looked at Ji Chunshan. Ji Chunshan didn't ignore the expectation in his eyes, so he nodded to him, and then hugged Ji Ningxu who was holding Ye Qinglan's hand.

Ye Qinglan coaxed Ji Ningxu softly: "Xu Er, be good, sit with daddy for a while, daddy will be back soon, okay?"

Ji Ningxu obediently said hello.

With the guidance of Shopkeeper Song, Ye Qinglan went upstairs alone.

Shopkeeper Song stayed on the first floor and chatted with Ji Chunshan over tea. Seeing Ji Chunshan looking at the stairs leading to the second floor from time to time, he said, "Brother Ji misses your younger brother?" Have deep meaning.

Ji Chunshan smiled, but he didn't see anything strange, maybe he didn't hear it, and said: "I'm really thinking about it, after all, it's just such a younger brother."

Shaking his head, seeing that Ji Chunshan didn't seem to be going to tell the truth, Shopkeeper Song didn't force him anymore, and said, "Mr. Jin Yu was originally the son of my boss, and I watched him grow up. It’s okay to talk about it.”

"Shopkeeper Song is worrying too much. Mr. Jin Yu is a person who is as handsome as the wind and the moon. I have nothing to worry about." Ji Chunshan said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Song didn't say any more, and then settled the payment to Ji Chunshan.

Picking up paintings and sending them away has already delayed a lot of time. When Ye Qinglan came down from upstairs alone, the conversation must have been over.

After the matter was over, Ji Chunshan immediately got up and said goodbye.

Shopkeeper Song personally sent them out again.

After leaving the bookshop, the three of them went straight to Zuixianju.

Zhou Jing only had two daughters, both of whom were married, and did not recruit any son-in-law. The daughters each had their own families, so he and Wang have been living in a separate small courtyard in the backyard of Zuixianju.

From the book shop to Zuixianju, it was closer than from the painting shop to the book shop. Ye Qinglan didn't take the carriage anymore. Ji Chunshan wanted to ask that Mr. Jin Yu, but found out that after leaving the book shop, Ye Qinglan didn't say a word , some unusual silence.

"What's the matter? But what's wrong with Mr. Jinyu?" Ji Chunshan couldn't help asking.

Ye Qinglan looked into Ji Chunshan's eyes, but after a while, she just shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with Mr. Jin Yu." Then she stopped talking.

Ji Chunshan didn't know why, but he also saw that Ye Qinglan didn't seem to want to talk at the moment, so he didn't ask any more questions.

When they arrived at Zuixianju, Ji Chunshan led the carriage directly to the back door, and the gatekeeper was still the boy named Xiao San'er.

Seeing Ji Chunshan, Xiao San'er immediately said: "Brother Shan, I knew you had to come today, is this?" Ye Qinglan had never been to Zuixianju, so Xiao San'er didn't know him.

Ji Chunshan said, "Just call me Brother Ye."

Seeing the red lines on Ye Qinglan's brows, and seeing that he was holding a child who blended his and Ji Chunshan's five points of appearance in his hand, Xiao San'er guessed his identity to some extent, so he honestly called "Brother Ye."

Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded to him.

The backyard of Zuixianju is not small, and there is room for a few carriages. Ji Chunshan asked Xiaosan'er and learned that there was still space inside, so he directly led the carriage in, and then brought Ye Qinglan and Ji Ning with him. Xu went to the small courtyard where Zhou Jing and Wang lived.
