talk about wine

The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he saw Meng Chuxi: "The house has been moved?"

Meng Chuxi nodded: "It's already packed, thanks to you asking Laifu to help me, there is nothing at home, so I came here first."

The shopkeeper nodded, with some satisfaction in his eyes, and his expression became gentle: "It just so happened that Lailu went to help clear the goods. You came just in time, so stay with Laifu. The shopkeeper has something to ask me, I'll leave for half a day first If you don’t understand, you can ask Laifu, if he can’t solve it, you can ask Uncle Zhong.”

Uncle Zhong is an old man in Jinyun Pavilion. He has been sitting in the store to help the shopkeeper bring in newcomers. He brought all the blessings and benefits. He went home to visit relatives before. He only came back in the past few days. Meng Chuxi only met him once.

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw an old man with gray hair coming out of the back room wearing a brown coarse cloth shirt. He looked like a country old man. Seeing this, Meng Chuxi lowered his head and said, "Uncle Zhong .”

Bell Tower glanced at her and nodded casually.Meng Chuxi didn't mind standing up and saying hello to the two of them, and went busy.

The shopkeeper looked at the bell tower and said with a smile, "Why do I feel that Uncle Zhong is not satisfied with Chuxi?"

Zhong Lou's beard tugged at the corners of his mouth, his beard trembled slightly, and he leaned on the counter with his left hand and squinted at him, saying, "Too young, still a bratty girl. Jinyun Pavilion needs a good successor, and Yan Qian took so much effort to choose him." I found a young girl with a good skin, but she has a lot of extravagance and lack of vigor, so I'm afraid she won't be really capable."

After speaking, he frowned: "Besides, I always feel that Miaoxiao can't keep her here."

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, but he nodded when he thought of what the housekeeper told him before: "The housekeeper knew about it a long time ago. She came to Zhoujia Village in distress. Her origin is unknown, and her family's conditions should be good. They all knew this and chose to use her Naturally, there are considerations, and the big shopkeeper also appreciates her quite a lot. I have seen her industriously, studiously, exceptionally smart, and she is more enlightened than before Lai Fulailu. She is also literate and hyphenated. The one with ink is indeed a good seed.”

"I've never seen you speak so well of anyone, but it's up to me to decide whether she is worth my teaching. If her character is bad, no matter how smart she is." He wasn't targeting Meng Chuxi, but for the Yan family. After doing something all his life, he has to be responsible. The more important they are, the more cautious he must be.

The shopkeeper nodded when he heard the words, he believed that the clock tower had a sense of proportion.After the shopkeeper left, Bell Tower went over there to see how they were doing.

"Uncle Zhong." Lai Fu called out when he saw him coming, and Zhong Lou nodded and asked, "Is the cleaning done? Someone needs to watch it."

Laifu nodded: "Miss Chuxi has a very good brain. After rearranging this fabric, it will be easier to remember and easier to find."

The bell tower glanced at it, and there were not many changes in the records, but the numbers were rearranged according to the categories, and it was indeed more concise than before.

"Well, you go to the front desk and watch." After speaking, he glanced at Meng Chuxi: "Since you are good at these, let's sort out the old cloth that Jinyun Pavilion accumulated last year."

Laifu was taken aback when he was about to speak, but was glanced at by the bell tower, and then he shut his mouth and looked at Meng Chuxi with a little worry.

Naturally, Meng Chuxi knew that there was an attic behind Jinyun Pavilion, and there were old goods piled up in it. They said that the old goods were actually damaged due to various reasons. I had dealt with a batch before, and there were still some accumulations, which were not very useful. Often they can only be sold at a low price or destroyed.

Meng Chuxi had already seen that Zhonglou was a little displeased with her, and he didn't care to follow the order to count the second-hand goods.

Laifu didn't understand why Zhonglou didn't like Meng Chuxi, but he didn't dare to speak up. He knew Zhonglou's character, and unless he changed his opinion, he would be even more disgusted if others said too much.

It took her a lot of effort to count that batch of things by herself, the inside was heavily covered with dust, and it choked badly after entering it. It took her one afternoon to sort out that there were many kinds of cloth in it, and the number was not mentioned yet.

Bell Tower sat outside for a long time, seeing that it was time to close, and Meng Chuxi hadn’t moved inside. The old man was very stubborn, and looked in from time to time but didn’t say anything, and finally said to Laifu: “It’s time to close, let her go back Bar."

Laifu hurried in after hearing the words, and saw that Meng Chuxi had set up an area there, carefully inspected the cloth, rearranged it by category, and immediately stopped her: "You will exhaust yourself like this, the cloth here is useless, it is normal wear and tear. For the helpers below, they were either donated or sold at a low price to civilians, and they were not recorded on purpose at all, which was the default in the shop."

After speaking, he complained again: "I really don't know what Uncle Zhong is thinking, isn't this embarrassing you?"

Meng Chuxi smiled and shook her head: "How can it be difficult, I think it is necessary to deal with it."

"I'll help you tomorrow, or you'll have to tidy up and go there by yourself. It's getting late and go back quickly. Don't keep your sister waiting for a long time. It's boring for her to be alone at home."

Meng Chuxi's original steps of walking out suddenly stopped, she turned her head to look at Laifu, her eyes didn't blink for a moment.

Laifu felt hairy all over when she saw her, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Chuxi, why are you looking at me like that?"

Meng Chuxi endured it but still couldn't, she frowned and said, "Are you too concerned about Qingwu?"

Lai Fu blushed, and quickly waved his hands: "No, I just mentioned it casually, and I thought she was cute."

"She is my sister." Meng Chuxi felt aggrieved, so she could only seriously emphasize it, and then added: "I can only say she is cute."

Laifu did not expect Meng Chuxi to say such childish words at all, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss Chuxi, I know she is your sister, but you are too exaggerated."

Meng Chuxi touched her forehead and said seriously, "It's okay if you think she's cute, but don't let other thoughts arise."

Laifu blushed and couldn't say a word, but when Meng Chuxi was about to leave, he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, I know Miss Qingwu's situation. , I am willing to take care of her, although I am not worthy now but I will work hard."

She was happy to have someone who didn't listen to the rumors and liked Zhou Qingwu, but she didn't want to have this kind of like at all.She turned her head and said in a low voice: "Laifu, you are a good person, but unfortunately, you are not the only one who doesn't believe in such rumors, so Qingwu is already engaged to someone, and when she has a career, she will marry her, and Qingwu likes her very much. We are friends, so I tell you to stop your losses in time, don't like her, there will be no result."

Lai Fu's face was slightly pale, and the beautiful emotions that had just emerged were suddenly ruthlessly snuffed out by Meng Chuxi, he couldn't believe it: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Those bad reputations attached to her are just the fear and bad taste of incompetent and vulgar people. Naturally, someone will find out Qingwu's kindness. I regard her as my younger sister. How can I make fun of her life's events? It's absolutely true. "Meng Chuxi's words were half-truth and half-false, her face was not flushed and her heart was not beating, Laifu had no reason to doubt it.

He smiled wryly: "Miss Chuxi is really straightforward, she doesn't give me a single thought."

Meng Chuxi didn't have the slightest bit of resentment, and waved his hand at him: "Isn't it cut off earlier, and it also saves a lot of suffering. You will meet someone who really suits you, so I'll go first."

Laifu nodded, and he was moved. Although he was a little depressed, he was not too sad.

It's a little late to go back today, just when she said hello to Uncle Zhong and was about to leave, a figure in front of the shop was carefully looking inside, Meng Chuxi was curious at first, suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up and she walked out quickly with joy .

Her change was so obvious that even the bell tower was a little surprised. When she looked around, she saw a little girl waiting for Meng Chuxi. As soon as she went out, the two held hands. Meng Chuxi smiled and said, "Qingwu, why are you here?"

The little girl also smiled lightly, but she didn't answer, but stretched out her hand and gestured.Bell Tower was taken aback.This little girl can't speak, is this the younger sister?

"You actually came to pick me up, so caring?" Meng Chuxi couldn't help but asked.

Zhou Qingwu looked at her over there, but found an old man in the shop looking at her. Zhou Qingwu's cheeks were slightly red, but he knew that he should be in charge, so he nodded to the bell tower to greet her, and smiled shyly.

Meng Chuxi didn't pay attention to her movement, and the two walked away hand in hand.Zhong Lou thought of the little girl who nodded and smiled at him, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This girl's younger sister is quite annoying."

Older people look at the elderly, and they are actually quite compassionate to young girls of this age. Zhou Qingwu's first impression of Zhonglou was much better than that of Meng Chuxi.

Of course, the two parties were not aware of it. Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu were walking on the street home, and the vendors around them were busy closing their stalls, and the quiet evening ushered in a new round of bustle.

Meng Chuxi glanced at the people around her, and asked softly, "Is it boring being alone at home? What did you do today?"

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, smiled and gestured: I will make clothes for you.

Meng Chuxi's brows and eyes were gentle: "Have you done it for a day?"

Shaking her head again, she told her about her day's activities in detail: making clothes in the yard, drying the medicinal materials she brought, and turning over the field.

Thinking of the vacant land there, Meng Chuxi asked her, "Have you decided to plant anything?"

Zhou Qingwu was a little distressed when he heard this question: Not yet, how about planting herbs?

Meng Chuxi thought for a while, and then her eyes lit up: "In addition to medicinal herbs, there is one more thing you can grow, day lily. I know where it can be found, and I can dig it on the earth dam next to Liu's sister-in-law's field in the south of Zhoujia Village. Well, there are also Chinese roses. Flowers can also be planted, they bloom beautifully all year round, and roses can also be used.”

The more I think about it, the more Meng Chuxi likes it: "Roses can climb frames, and it must be very beautiful to climb that courtyard wall after planting."

Seeing her happy face, Zhou Qingwu nodded and wrote it down secretly, thinking about where to get rose seeds.

Thinking of her coming to look for her, Meng Chuxi couldn't help laughing and said, "Can't you stay at home? Why are you thinking of coming to pick me up?"

Zhou Qingwu couldn't see her little happiness, don't overdo it and pretend nothing happened, and then compared: You came back too late.

Thinking of the reason why she came back late, Meng Chuxi felt a little helpless, and the smile on her face faded immediately.

Zhou Qingwu could see clearly, and was slightly taken aback: What's wrong?

Meng Chuxi didn't want to tell her about work troubles, Zhonglou's dissatisfaction with her had just begun, there was no need to worry Zhou Qingwu prematurely, so she sighed and said another thing that she must know, "Laifu likes you. "

Zhou Qingwu was taken aback by this nonsensical sentence, and waved his hands again and again: I don't like him, no, how could he like me.

This Meng Chuxi didn't want to hear it, she frowned and said, "Why don't you like you, you are virtuous and capable, cute and good-looking, and you smile so sweetly, he must like you."

After she finished speaking, she was a little frustrated, "But as I said, you have someone you like, and you are already engaged. You will only come back to marry you when she makes a name for herself and can give you a good life. mind."

Zhou Qingwu listened blankly, and after a while she tugged on Meng Chuxi's sleeve, blushing and gestured: I can already give me a good life, there is no need to wait.

Meng Chuxi realized the meaning of Zhou Qingwu's words, her ears turned red immediately, and she said in a low voice: "It's not enough, I..." She was afraid that Zhou Qingwu would misunderstand, so she forced herself to be patient and shy while waiting for her answer to the little girl. He lowered his head to sort out his thoughts, then raised his head and said seriously: "When you are older, when we don't have to worry about other things, we will be like ordinary couples, and we will marry each other. Marriage is a big event that cannot be sloppy, but the relationship between you and me , don’t need it to prove it, it’s just a consummation, isn’t it?”

Meng Chuxi thought a lot about it. If she was really with Zhou Qingwu, everything an ordinary girl could get, even if it couldn't be given to her openly under the sun, she would give it all to her in private.
