Imperial Exam Daily

Dazzling, October is here.

Xing Huai sent game meat to Fengxianglou twice. The restaurant relied on Yang Ye's offal fish and new game dishes. The business of the restaurant has always been affected by the division of customers.

Yang Ye received the new month's silver, and the weather was getting colder. He asked Axi to come to the county early in the morning and told him to look for him in the restaurant, and was going to buy two bolts of cloth to make him some thicker clothes.

Later in the afternoon, Yang Ye saw the patter of rain outside, and now he couldn't help worrying whether Ah Xi would go out too early without an umbrella and get caught in the rain.

It was him who was so worried. After lunch, Ah Xi found out that the weather had changed, and he had prepared two umbrellas early in the morning.

Ah Xi specially took a shower before going out, and tidied himself up. In fact, he tidied up very neatly on weekdays, but Yang Ye asked him to go to the restaurant to find him. save face.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, he finally found a decent set of reddish-brown clothes. He had only worn them twice, and the color was darker, unobtrusive and neat. He was very satisfied, but it was a pity that the clothes were a bit short when he changed them. up.

The trousers are all above the ankles, and the sleeves are a little too short. Overall, they still look passable.

The clothes were made the year before last, and I have been growing in the past two years, especially after marrying into the Yang family. In just two months, I can see that I have grown in size. After getting the errand, the food in the family is good, and now it has spread in the village, and occasionally makes fun of him, if he doesn't grow up, he will waste the food.

After tossing himself, he locked the door of the house with two umbrellas in his arms, and caught up with Master Zhou's ox cart at the entrance of the village.

"Is Axi going to the county to pick up Yang Tongsheng?"

It would be nice for young people to tidy up casually. Master Zhou rarely saw Ah Xi dressed so neatly, and greeted him with a smile.

Ah Xi lowered his head and smiled with eyes hanging down, Master Zhou's words made him feel sweet.

"The young couple just have a good time. Sit down and let's go." Master Zhou swung his whip on the cow's buttocks, and the cow mooed, and the cart rolled slowly.

"Master Zhou, wait, I'm going to the county seat too."

The bullock cart kicked, Master Zhou pulled the reins, Axi turned around, and it was Mei Xiaozhi who called Master Zhou.

"Xiaozhi is going to the county too, hurry up."

Few people go to the county town at this point, Master Zhou mainly earns money for the trip back to the village, and there are only two people in the bullock cart, Axi and Mei Xiaozhi.

Mei Xiaozhi dressed up brightly, and her pink clothes were even more delicate. Sitting opposite to A Xi who was dressed in dark colors, Mei Xiaozhi looked at A Xi from head to toe clearly. Hair tucked behind ears: "Go to the county at this hour? Go to Yang Ye?"

Axi's brows tightened.

Mei Xiaozhi covered her mouth and smiled: "Look at you nervous, I'm just asking casually, I'm not looking for Yang Ye, I'm looking for Brother Zhang Yao, I heard that Brother Zhang Yao said that he found a good job An errand, I want to send me two boxes of rouge, which makes me go to the county to choose."

Ah Xi frowned, he could hear Mei Xiaozhi's brisk and flaunting tone, Zhang Zige was longer than Zhang Zige, and he gave rouge, no matter how dull he was, he knew that the relationship between the two was not simple, he guessed in his heart Are they already together? If so, does Yang Ye know?

He suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and said politely: "I, I heard from Yang Ye that he and Zhang Tongsheng worked as accountants on the same street, and we can, can go there together."

Mei Xiaozhi smiled and said: "That's really a coincidence. I heard from the villagers that Yang Ye also found a job, so he is also an accountant."

Although she put on a smile on her face, Mei Xiaozhi felt in her heart that Yang Ye was a good learner, and Zhang Jie would do whatever he did, and it was really annoying to work in the same street.But it's also a good time to go and see what kind of restaurant manager Yang Ye can find with his little skills: "It's my first time going, I don't know the way very well, Axi, you can show me the way."

Axi responded, but didn't speak again.

Mei Xiaozhi was bored of sitting for a long time, so she just moved her ass to the side of Axi: "You take an umbrella, it's so troublesome."

"It's getting dark, I'm afraid it will, it will rain."

"Then just buy one in the county town. There are many oil-paper umbrellas in the city that are very beautiful. The painted plum blossoms and green bamboos are just like the real ones, and some of them have poems written on them!"

Axi's expression was the same, he just said: "You, do you know poetry?"

Mei Xiaozhi's smile froze for a moment: "Ah, I don't know. My mother said that it is useless for women to read and write. As long as you clean up well, others will follow you and read to you."

These words had a lot of meaning, Axi smiled and only nodded slightly.

Mei Xiaozhi leaned into Axi's ear and whispered: "Why do you wear such dark clothes when you go to the county town? Yang Ye is a scholar, and he has better face outside than ordinary men. If the people at home are brighter, they will have a good face." Light. You are born white, you will look better in brighter clothes."

"No, it's fine."

"How can it be okay? You think these are trivial things and don't take them to heart. The estrangement between husband and wife is because of these small things."

"Xiao Zhi, you are not married, but you understand the relationship between husband and wife very well." A Xi's voice was cold: "If Yang Ye is really, really unhappy, I'll just stand far away and wait for him later."

Mei Xiaozhi pursed her lips, and raised her voice a little: "Axi, you are not angry, are you? I speak straight, and my mother always scolds me for not being able to speak. Don't take it to heart, I just want to help you."

"Yo, what's the matter?" Master Zhou heard Mei Xiaozhi's voice and looked back at the two of them. Axi was about to speak, but Mei Xiaozhi jumped ahead and said, "It's nothing. I'll just chat with Axi. It didn't work." I want to make Axi angry with my stupid mouth."

Master Zhou laughed: "Young people are straightforward when they speak."

Axi's face was not very good, and he didn't respond to what Mei Xiaozhi said after that. After more than half an hour, he arrived in the county town, and it started to rain lightly. He paid the money and opened a paper umbrella He left in a hurry like hiding from a debt.

Before taking two steps, Mei Xiaozhi chased after her: "Axi, wait for me, I don't know the way, if you are from the village, don't you mind hitting me with an umbrella?"

"Hit, hit."

Ah Xi's long eyebrows were slightly frowned, secretly wondering how bad luck happened to go to the county town with her, his sharp teeth made people disgusted, he took out an umbrella and handed it over, and walked quickly to Changyu Street , there were not as many pedestrians on the street as usual when it rained, but the business of the teahouse and restaurant was good, and pedestrians gathered in to hide from the rain.

Obviously Mei Xiaozhi came to Changyu Street for the first time. This long street is spacious and bright, mostly high-floor and large-scale inns and restaurants. She was dazzled by the sight, and her pace was very slow.

Axi paid attention to the restaurant where Zhang Ying was mentioned by Yang Ye casually before, and finally stopped under the restaurant with a big gilded signboard: "Here, you, you go to Zhang Tongsheng."

Mei Xiaozhi paused, looked up at the big signboard of the restaurant, only saw the three words flying and flying on it, but couldn't recognize it: "Is this here?"

"It says Zuixiaolou, which is newly opened. Didn't Zhang Tongsheng tell you the name of his construction site?"

Mei Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Axi to know how to read: "I said it, I said it, it seems to be called Zuixiaolou."

She hid under the eaves of the restaurant and put away her umbrella, looked at the restaurant with carved beams and paintings with joy, and praised her ability to know people, Zhang Zi was promising to be able to manage accounts in such a large restaurant.

Axi took back the umbrella, greeted him and continued walking into the long street. Mei Xiaozhi did not enter the restaurant in a hurry, but stretched her neck to watch Axi go. followed.

She was very curious about where Yang Ye was working, and she chased after her all the way. She saw that Axi had entered a dead end, and there was only one narrow door inside, which was obviously the back door of some kind of shop. She looked towards the main street and found that the door could only enter. A three-storey restaurant, that restaurant is actually much more grand than the restaurant where Zhang Ying is.

For a moment, it was as cold as rain pouring into the back of the head.

How could Yang Ye be stronger than Zhang Jie?

Ah Xi put away his umbrella under the eaves of the back door of Fengxiang Tower, shook the rain, stood outside and waited for Yang Ye to start work, the sky was getting dark, he couldn't guess what time it was, he was happy before, and he went out early , he thought he should have to wait an hour.

It turned out that he hadn't thought about entering Fengxiang Building to wait for the first person, but he didn't expect to stay outside for a quarter of an hour, a man suddenly came out from inside and saw him at a glance.

He also said: "Little brother is here to wait for Mr. Yang?"

A Xi was surprised, and nodded in response, wanting to ask Yang Ye if he was going to leave work, but realized that opening his mouth would make people know that he was stuttering, thus embarrassing Yang Ye, so he simply didn't speak.

"Come in quickly. It's cold outside. Mr. Yang has gone out to settle his debts. He may come back in a while. He told you that you should go inside and wait when you come." Huang Jin rubbed his hands. It was really an autumn rain. It's cold, it's really cold when it cools down.

The young man hesitated after hearing his words, and he said again: "I'm the manager here, my name is Huang Jin, Mr. Yang really confessed, I didn't coax you."

When Yang Ye went out, he said that a good-looking little brother would come to him later, and he thought he was joking, but now he saw that there was really a little brother waiting that people couldn't take his eyes off of, it was too She was a little shy, half-hanging her head so that no one would look at her more, not like a little brother in the county town, if he had such a good-looking face, he would wish to hang his face when he walked.

"Come in, I'm afraid Mr. Yang will blame me for not inviting you in when he comes back later."

Ah Xi then entered Fengxiang Tower.

Huang Jin called a cook to take Axi to sit in the small room where he was resting, and then asked the waiter to make a cup of hot tea in. The waiter saw Axi, and when he heard the steward calling for tea, he happily ran in. back kitchen.

"At this time, it is very swift, but I have never seen such swiftness in working on weekdays."

Huang Jin scolded without hesitation, and the cook smiled and said, "Ren Xiaoliu is not married yet, how can he not be courteous when he sees a good-looking little brother!"

"No matter how attentive you are, it's the little brother who came to wait for Mr. Yang."

The cook immediately became interested: "Mr. Yang's husband?"

Huang Jin didn't know that Yang Ye was married, so he couldn't figure it out and said, "How do you know that?"

The cook called Yang Ye's attention before, and wanted to tell him about her niece, but Yang Ye refused, so she insisted: "It must be, Mr. Yang said earlier that he was married."

Huang Jin rubbed his chin. In this way, Yang Ye's charm is not shallow.He looked at the small room and clicked his tongue. He thought it belonged to him. He could read books and settle accounts, and now he was pleased with his bad temper. If he didn't have a lovely wife, it would be unreasonable.
