An Ziqi's ancient life

The little heartless person on the tenth eloped with Qin Yi just like that, An Ziqi was not only not angry, but heaved a sigh of relief.With No. [-] by Qin Yi's side, his safety was guaranteed. An Ziqi was confident that No. [-] would be more useful than the hidden guards beside Qin Yi, and would be able to protect him more personally.

An's family finally got busy. It's the Chinese New Year, and there are quite a lot of things to do.Those who gave gifts to An's family, those who asked An's to order, came and went.An Ziqi asked An Liji to deal with it, but he himself was planning to run to the river with a big iron picket and drove the ox cart.

An Zimin thought that An Ziqi was going to play on the ice, and clamored to go together.An Ziqi was so entangled that he couldn't help it, so he simply took the numbers with him and let them pull the sled!

The snow on the ground can fully bear the weight of the sled.Of course, this so-called sled was nothing more than an even bigger board nailed together by An Ziqi with large wooden boards and then cut into shapes.After asking An Ziqin to tidy up a cellar in advance, An Ziqi went out with a hula man and a dog.

The ice surface chosen by An Ziqi is the upper reaches of the Qinghe River, the water quality is very clean, and few people come, avoiding the danger of someone falling into the ice hole.An Ziqi asked the numbers to accompany An Zimin to a place farther away to play, and then went to fetch ice by himself.

An Ziqi carried an iron pickaxe, first marked the ice surface, and then looked around to see if anyone was around, then raised his fist and smashed on the ice surface.If others saw this, they would only think that An Ziqi was pounding on the ice, how could he have cracked the ice?

Finally, An Ziqi slapped the ice surface, and the marked piece of ice slowly floated up, and An Ziqi lifted it up at once.This piece of ice is only half a meter thick and about two meters wide.An Ziqi stacked the ice on the sled and went to fetch another piece.The fish under the ice rushed up to breathe. An Ziqi's sleeve appeared a cane, and he flicked it towards the surface of the water. The fish flew out of the water like raindrops and landed on the ice. Passive stiffened.

An Ziqi threw the fish onto the ox cart again.Just like that, while fetching ice and catching fish, An Ziqi quickly picked up a lot.A big dog was left to watch An Zimin, and An Ziqi commanded the rest to pull Bing home.I came and went several times, filling up a cellar.It was estimated that one summer would be enough, so An Ziqi stopped.

Although An Ziqi didn't play with An Zimin, An Zimin also had a good time with the numbers, but in the end An Ziqi forcibly pulled him back and fed him ginger soup.What can I do if I'm sick?

The numbers performed very well today. An Ziqi took watermelon seeds and planted a watermelon for them to eat. Even An Zimin had a share.You can't let Zhao Shi and An Liji know, otherwise you will have to be crushed.

Tian Sheng wanted to spend the New Year in An's house in a shameless manner, and he couldn't even drive him away.Considering himself the prospective son-in-law of An's family, Tian Sheng also wanted to follow An Liji to Zhaojia Village to deliver New Year's goods to An Ziqi's grandparents.He was kicked mercilessly by An Ziqi.

"Why are you going to join in the fun!" An Ziqi couldn't help but want to beat Tian Sheng.

"I, didn't I want to have a relationship with Yue... No, Uncle An cultivated a relationship? Why didn't you let me go!" Tian Sheng was full of grievances.

"You are a thick-skinned, just stay with me!"

An Liji and Zhao shi laughed, but An Ziqin blushed.

In the end, Tian Sheng could only stay in An's house to help light the fire.There's no way, An Ziqi said, there's nothing to eat if you don't work.

An Ziqi didn't go with his father either, because the owner of Meimeizhai finally came to visit.An Ziqi thought he would have to wait for a while, but he didn't expect him to run to their house in person.

"Tonight is the New Year's Eve. If you have something to do with Su Dong's family, let's talk about it directly. After all, we can't delay." An Ziqi poured tea for Su Yingsheng and brought some snacks.

"Little boss, you're being polite." Su Yingsheng signaled the servant to present a gift box.

An Ziqi didn't even look at it, so he put it aside.

On the other hand, Su Yingsheng smiled wryly, "Then I'll just say it directly! Little Boss, I still hope that you can sell me the raw materials and recipes, but the conditions you mentioned at the beginning, as a member of Meimeizhai, I really dare not do anything casually." Yuchu. After all, Weimeizhai is not my private property, but belongs to the Su family."

An Ziqi didn't speak, and took tea to drink, as if he was serving tea to see off guests.I want raw materials and recipes, but I am not willing to pay the price. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

"Little Boss, don't worry, just listen to me." Seeing this, Su Yingsheng could only smile wryly, so he shared his situation with An Ziqi one by one.

It turns out that Su Yingsheng is just a concubine son of the Su family, the third eldest, and there are two elder brothers born on the top.The two elder brothers are both educated, and his father is looking forward to the future success of the two sons!Su Yingsheng had to give up his studies to help his father start a business.

The Su family is just a merchant family. Although the Daxing Dynasty had certain restrictions on merchants, it did not prohibit the children of merchants from participating in the scientific examination.But there is also the fact that merchants are inferior.For the future of the Su family, Su Yingsheng's two elder brothers only need to study hard, but Su Yingsheng also likes to study, and his talent is not bad.The two elder brothers were jealous of him, so they made trouble with his father to bring Su Yingsheng to Qingshan Town to manage a pastry shop.Said that the shop has been taken care of, let him go back.

However, Meimeizhai's business has been good before, bringing a lot of income to the Su family, and he didn't see his father come to pick him up, but let him work hard and make a lot of money for the Su family.

Su Yingsheng only thought that his father was not satisfied with his business, so he could only continue to work hard.Who knew that an An Ji would be killed out of thin air, and he would grab the business of Meimeizhai in no time.Su Yingsheng was in a hurry, but after eating Anji's pastries, Delicious Zhai really couldn't compare.Su Yingsheng knew that Meimeizhai was dead.

Su Yingsheng sent shopkeeper Jin to Anji to raise the issue of buying raw materials, and shopkeeper Jin passed on An Ziqi's conditions to Su Yingsheng.But Su Yingsheng couldn't make up his mind at all, so he had to write a letter to his father in Fucheng.How could his father give up his membership in Meimeizhai?Meimeizhai is a very important industry of their Su family!So he replied to the letter and scolded Su Yingsheng severely.Calling him a waste, he can't even run a pastry shop well.

Su Yingsheng was wronged too!He has worked hard for so long and earned so much money for the Su family, but in the end he only got his father to call him trash!How could he still not understand that his father only used him as a tool to make money, and had no intention of taking him back at all.

"Then what is your purpose of coming here today?" An Ziqi was surprised. Being used as a tool by his father must be a personal discomfort!Does this guy still want to buy prescriptions to make money for the Su family?Could it be that Su Yingsheng is a proper holy father?

"It's not like this, my little boss," Su Yingsheng cupped his hands to An Ziqi, "I want to open a pastry shop of my own, and I want to cooperate with my little boss. If it's my own shop, I don't have to accept the Su's. If you want more members, there is no problem." Su Yingsheng blushed after he finished speaking, and the dark-skinned man was sweating profusely.

An Ziqi almost choked on a sip of tea, and this Su Yingsheng came here to be a white wolf!He is a bastard, if he wants to take care of his own property, he is only qualified to do so unless the family has been separated.Otherwise, based on his status, he must be counted in the Su family if he has property.Since he is a bastard and the family has been separated, he must not have much property in his hands.

Now that he came to An Ziqi, he just asked An Ziqi to come up with prescriptions and materials. It would be best if he even prepared a shop for him, and he just took care of the business.

An Ziqi raised his eyebrows, this Su Yingsheng has a good plan!But, An Ziqi said that he admired this guy.

"Su Dong's family is really smart. This big guy wants me to take care of it, and he just takes the share and the money. If I want to open a shop, wouldn't I ask the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper to do it myself?"

Su Yingsheng was about to smoke now, so he said bravely, "Little boss, I know you are a capable person, but even if you are in business, you have a lot of knowledge in it. It can be seen that the little boss is not People who are good at doing business, and, little boss, you probably don’t want to become a real merchant! You definitely don’t want to join this business status.”

An Ziqi raised his eyebrows, this Su Yingsheng is really perceptive!An Ziqi really didn't want to become a merchant.Although he didn't think there was anything wrong, he still had to think about An Zimin and An Zirui.After all, the name of the merchant's son is not very good-looking, and it is easy to be regarded as a nouveau riche. If he goes to a higher-level academy in the future, he may be looked down upon by those so-called "clear scholars".The pastry shop of An Ziqi's family is still under Tian Sheng's subordinates!Moreover, An Ziqi would rather just let shopkeepers come to buy things at home than go to the county town to open a shop by himself.

An Ziqi didn't deny it either, and just nodded, "That's right, I just don't want to become a merchant."

Su Yingsheng was overjoyed, "My little boss, what do you think of my proposal? From now on, I will only sell An's cakes, and if I want to sell other things, An's have all from you. What do you think?" Su Yingsheng looked at An Ziqi expectantly.

An Ziqi lowered his head in thought, while Su Yingsheng nervously rubbed his hands back and forth.In order to separate him, he has offended everyone in the Su family, and those friends who have been in contact with him are unwilling to see him anymore. Now An Ziqi is his stick to stand up.

"Yes." An Ziqi said slowly, Su Yingsheng immediately showed a relieved smile, "But..." An Ziqi continued.

"What request, tell me." Su Yingsheng became nervous again.

"I can give both money and raw materials. If I become a shareholder, I will get [-]% of your shop in the future. Of course, I still have to pay for the raw materials."

Su Yingsheng didn't expect that An Ziqi only wanted [-]% of the shares, and he was a little unbelievable for a while, after all, he has nothing now, so he can only be regarded as the shopkeeper for An Ziqi.She didn't expect An Ziqi to treat him so favorably.

"No problem!" Su Yingsheng was afraid that An Ziqi would repent, so he wanted to make a contract with him on the spot.He had wanted to make Weiweizhai bigger before, but it took a lot of investment and time.How could it be possible for Su Yingsheng's father to agree to invest a large sum of money in other places?Now he finally had a chance to try it out.

"Little boss, you are so kind." Su Yingsheng wanted to grab An Ziqi's paw to express his gratitude.

An Ziqi stepped aside quickly, he didn't want to be grasped by someone who was an uncle.Moreover, hearing Su Yingsheng thank him as if he was a holy father, An Ziqi just thought hehe.He is not so kind!It's just that I don't want to be so troublesome.Now as long as there are [-]% of the members, Su Yingsheng will devote himself to his [-]% until he dies.It was he who benefited.Moreover, such a man was so grateful to him, An Ziqi was also a little secretly pleased, there is another person who helps him make money, okay?

In other words, An Ziqi thought about it, this Su Yingsheng should be 27, right?His two elder brothers must be older than him. People who are about to turn [-] have to take the exam with a group of young people. Don't they feel ashamed?I also thought that the imperial examination is still quite difficult, and it is very common for sons and fathers to go to the exams for scholars and others. In the previous life, there were repeat students who repeated several years to enter the university!Thus, Su Yingsheng's brothers were labeled as older candidates by An Ziqi.

How did Su Yingsheng know that An Ziqi's thoughts had already flown to the sea of ​​stars, and he was still chattering to express his gratitude.

"By the way, shopkeeper Su has ever been married?" An Ziqi suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Su Yingsheng obviously didn't expect An Ziqi to ask this, "The family has a wife, a son and a daughter, and the wife is just a peasant girl." Although he didn't know why An Ziqi asked this, he answered honestly.

"What about your two older brothers?"

"There are several nephews and nieces in the family, and the older ones are all studying."

"Is that so... is it true that father and son live together?" An Ziqi said to himself.

"Little boss, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing. By the way, why is your father willing to let you separate the family and build a mansion?" An Ziqi asked curiously. After all, Su Yingsheng can be regarded as a money-making machine for the Su family. How could the Su family be willing to let him go?

Su Yingsheng started to have a fever again, "Ever since I found out what Dad meant, I've been very sad. In addition, the business in the shop is not good, and the cakes I made couldn't be sold, and some of them couldn't stay overnight, so I could only give them to the servants. Every day is a big expense. My father saw that instead of getting the money back, he reached out to ask him for a turnover of money, so he annoyed me and told me to go back." Su Yingsheng scratched his head, "Later, I took my wife and children back home. Then I showed that I want to earn family property with my brothers. My mother was on guard against me, but now I won’t do it. My aunt died early, and she didn’t like me a long time ago, so she pushed my father Get me out."

Su Yingsheng smiled again, "At first my father was reluctant, after all, my contribution to the Su family was not small. Later, my son showed a talent for reading, and my mother was afraid that another grandson would be born. Overwhelmed her grandson, crying at home every day. In addition, my brothers are afraid that I will really take away the family property, so they all want me to get out. My father has no choice but to let me get out. Or Jing out of the house."

An Ziqi felt a little sympathetic to Su Yingsheng in an instant, he is really a poor child, and he is also one that neither father nor mother loves.It is estimated that his father did not agree to the separation at the beginning because he would make money.But if he really violated his father's interests, he still had to be abandoned.However, this seemingly honest man is also a profiteer, and he is either bad or bad.How else can they be separated safely?Family property and so on, you can earn it yourself, and don't care about those people's.

An Ziqi went back to the room and took out a box, "Here is the recipe for the pastry in our shop, and 2000 taels of silver, you can take it first, but you have to write the deed first."

The two wrote the deed together, in triplicate, signed and signed, and it was considered finalized.Su Yingsheng was busy leaving, and his wife and children were still staying in the small inn in the town, lest someone would make things difficult for them.An Ziqi asked Aunt Zhang to pack enough materials for him to use for a month, and then sent Su Yingsheng to leave quickly.

After one matter was resolved, An Ziqi's mood improved a lot.It's just that the money sent by Tian Sheng was spent all at once.An Ziqi was a little bit pained, this money was really worthless.

In the evening, the family had a harmonious reunion dinner, and they had to be busy again.

An Liji came back after delivering the New Year's goods, but he was a little sad.

The family was chatting on the kang in the main house to watch the New Year, preparing to set off firecrackers at midnight, and An Zimin couldn't wait.

"Father, why didn't you tell what happened?" An Ziqi was a little angry, his father did this every time, and An Ziqi was most impatient with his father's frowning face, hesitant to speak but refused to tell the truth. up. "Didn't dad treat us like a family?"

An Liji became anxious all of a sudden, "Ziqi, I didn't mean that." An Liji hurriedly declared his innocence.

An Ziqi teased An Zirui and An Zixiu, and didn't want to talk to his father anymore.

"Ziqi...it's my father's fault." An Liji came to curry favor with An Ziqi, "Hey, let me just say, today, at my father-in-law's house..."

"What's wrong with my natal family?" Before An Liji finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao became anxious.

"Xiu Niang, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my father-in-law's house. That's right, that's right," An Liji hesitated.

"Say it quickly!" Mrs. Zhao urged.

"I'm just afraid that you're worried! My father-in-law's house doesn't even have any special food for the New Year this year. It's a good thing we sent New Year's goods there, or it would be really sad. Dalang wants to say kiss, and the woman asks for a higher betrothal gift. The father-in-law and his family are saving money. They even pawned the things we asked our father-in-law and mother-in-law to bring back last time. I saw something wrong, so I coaxed Xiao Lang to tell me."

Da Lang is An Ziqi's eldest cousin, and Xiao Lang is the youngest child of An Ziqi's second uncle. He is only five years old this year, and he can't keep his words under wraps.

It's a good thing for a nephew from her natal family to say goodbye, but if it makes the family suffer for years, Mrs. Zhao will blame Da Lang a little bit.This is too ignorant.

Mrs. Zhao was a little angry, "Does Da Lang like that woman that much?"

"I heard that Da Lang first fell in love with her. The girl is really pretty, but she wants a bride price of 100 taels of silver." An Liji said.

"100 taels? Does she really think she is a fairy?" Zhao was even more surprised.Ordinary households with five or sixty taels of silver are considered wealthy. "It's in the village next door to Zhaojia Village," An Liji hesitated, and said, "It seems that the people over there have heard that the Zhao family has a wealthy family. The sister-in-law who is married, I hope that the sister-in-law will help them! This nephew is getting married, can the sister-in-law not express it?"

After An Liji finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao trembled with anger, "My parents won't talk nonsense, the woman's family must have heard something. And it's probably not a good idea to ask for such a large sum of money as soon as you open your mouth." Yes." Mrs. Zhao rubbed her head, "Master of the family, in a few days, let's go back to my mother's house to have a look. Don't harm my family." Mrs. Zhao didn't finish what she said, but An Ziqi and the others understood.

If An Ziqi's eldest cousin wants to marry, he must marry someone who can support the family. The so-called elder sister-in-law is like a mother.If the eldest cousin must marry someone who is unclear, life will not be too easy for Zhao's second brother and other nephews and nieces in the future.An Ziqi silently added, unless they split up.

The whole family is in no mood to watch the new year.An Zimin didn't last till midnight, and couldn't open his eyes early and fell asleep.An Ziqi carried him back to his kang to sleep.

When midnight arrived, almost all the village was filled with the sound of crackling firecrackers.An Ziqi also stayed away from the firewood pile and lit the firecrackers.It's not uncommon for firecrackers to set firewood piles on fire in previous years, so An Ziqi was very careful.

Looking at the colorful fireworks exploding in the night sky, Qin Yi couldn't help but guess what An Ziqi was doing now.Why did he still feel so lonely even though he had returned to his home?

"Wooooow..." Tenth leaned against Qin Yi, and looked at the sky lonely with him.The colorful fireworks are very beautiful, but after watching them for a while, they are still very boring. On the tenth, I feel homesick.

"Wooooow..." No. [-] howled sadly, and buried his head in Qin Yi's arms.Woo, big fool, Number Ten regrets running out with you.Number ten wants to eat big bones, and number ten wants to eat honey cake, made by mother.

Qin Yi touched No. [-]'s soft fur, and finally felt a little warmth.

"Come and eat." Qin Yi took the delicacies on the table to No. [-] to eat.Number Ten reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls, but refused to eat any more.

Qin Yi didn't force it, he couldn't eat it either.
