Rouge wrong

In spring, the warbler flies and the grass grows, and the day grows longer. Before Mao's hour, the eastern sky is already bright.

Rouge never slept much, and she just left her familiar hometown, so she woke up earlier this time.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Cuo's sleeping face close at hand. After sharing the same bed for more than a month, Rouge finally got used to it.

At first, every time she woke up, she didn't dare to move around, for fear of waking Shen Cuo.Soon she found that no matter how careful she was, Shen Cuo would know.

After further studying martial arts, she realized that the breath of sleep and waking is different, and Shen Cuo is very sensitive to this.

In other words, Shen Cuo had already noticed the moment she woke up.

"Shopkeeper Shen..."

"Lie down a little longer."

Shen Cuo closed his eyes as if he was not fully awake, but his words were very clear, with only a little bit of milk, as if he was acting like a baby.

Rouge was not surprised, lying quietly in Shen Cuo's arms, slowly meditating on the homework taught by Shen Cuo yesterday.

She is not very talented in martial arts, but she has made rapid progress in learning characters. Not only has she learned most of the commonly used characters, but the interpretation is not a problem.

Usually, scholars who have to take the imperial examination have to start reading the Four Books and Five Classics after they are literate, but Rouge does not need a scientific examination, and the goal is very clear. As a grocery store boy, his calculations are much more realistic than those.

It's a pity that Shen Cuo is very strong in mental arithmetic, but he doesn't like math. He only taught Yanzhi some basics and let Yanzhi read books by herself, and asked her when she didn't understand.

There are a lot of books in Shen Cuo's study. Although most of them are poems, calligraphy and paintings, classics such as "Ten Books of Suanjing" are also included. as a pastime.

As for those gossip about unofficial history, obscene words, pornographic songs, they are all shopkeeper Shen's hobbies.

The two lay down for a while, and gradually there was noise outside, and Shen Cuo couldn't sleep anymore.

After the four of them came to Yanzhou, they lived in a two-entry and two-compartment house. The house was located in the most prosperous area of ​​Yanzhou Prefecture, with a shop in the front and a house in the back, facing the street and facing the water.

The only bad thing for Shen Cuo is that there are merchants and hawkers opening their stalls early in the morning on Linxi Street, which is very lively, and naturally she cannot sleep peacefully with her extraordinary hearing.

Shen Cuo heard the sound of people outside, annoyed: "Forget it, get up."

This kind of scene happens almost every day, Yanzhi couldn't help laughing, but she was afraid of being discovered by Shen Cuo, so she quickly got up and covered up: "Shopkeeper Shen, I will help you change your clothes."

Shen Cuo got up lazily, stood by the bed and stretched out his hands. Because of his short stature, Yan Zhi had to stand on the bed to help Shen Cuo change his clothes.

She was already proficient at this job, and soon helped Shen Cuo put on his coat.

"Shopkeeper Shen, wait a minute, I'll go and fuck Sister Tao."

As the house got bigger, the number of people in the family also increased.When Yan Zhi arrived here, she found that there were already four servants waiting for them in the house. Apart from the porter, the cook and the waiter, there was also a maid serving Shen Cuo.

Yan Zhi thought she was useless at the time, and was sad all day long. Fortunately, Shen Cuo still asked her to warm the bed at night, and asked her to go to the store to help after the groceries were opened.

Although Chuntao is a maid who serves Shen Cuo, Shen Cuo doesn't let her get close to her very much, and only asks her to do some work of serving tea, pouring water and cleaning.

This made Rouge very happy.

She and her younger brother left their hometown with Shen Cuo. Although they escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, they were also very confused about the future.She didn't want to eat or wear heavy clothes, but she couldn't help her with anything.

It would be too late to repay shopkeeper Shen after she finished her studies. She wanted to do something for shopkeeper Shen from now on.

Yan Zhi opened the door and shouted outside, and immediately a maid came in with a basin.

Chuntao is not very old, only twenty-eight years old, with a small round face, crescent eyes, and she loves to smile very much. With her white and pink skin, she smiles like a peach blossom in spring.

Although Shen Cuo is not very interested in naming outsiders, he also thinks that the person who named Chuntao before was very elegant.

It's a pity that these four people were not selected from the original congregation, so they cannot be trusted for the time being.

This is the result of bargaining between Shen Cuo and Liu Rongzhi. Both sides took a step back. Shen Cuo did not choose from those former congregants, and Liu Rongzhi did not send his own people. He recruited four simple and capable people from the local area. It is time to improve Shen Cuo's "hard" life.

Chuntao came in with the washing utensils but did not wait for Shen Cuo to wash up, turned around and went outside to report to the cook.

Rouge was handing a towel and water, and after Shen Cuo finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, she helped her dress and comb her hair.

Shen Cuo's clothes are mainly moon white and green, and most of them are so-called imitation men's clothing.

In fact, this kind of clothes has long been not limited to imitation men, but has been classified as women's casual clothes.

The Yan Dynasty was turbulent for decades, and many heroines emerged. In order to facilitate daily activities or fight on horseback, they usually wear men's clothing.

Since the current emperor established the position for the eldest princess, women have also been allowed to enter the court as officials. Their official uniforms are similar to those of men, and the difference between men and women has gradually become smaller.

The culture of literati in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively strong, and there are not many such phenomena, but if you go to Yanjing or Beidi, there are many women who go out in casual clothes on the street.

As for the children of the Jianghu, for the sake of convenience, there is not much difference in the style of clothing for men and women, and most of them are bunts.

On the contrary, Shen Cuo, who likes elegant clothes and jade belts, also needs to hang gauze clothes outside, is really a different kind.

"Shopkeeper Shen, are you going out today?"

"If you don't go out, you can help me put a bun on it."

Shen Cuo loves to wear crowns when she goes out, and most of them wear round-neck gowns, but at home, she is very old-fashioned. She likes to wear loose clothes, wide sleeves, and bare feet, just like her aunt Shen Yunpo.

It's a pity that she is not in the Tianming Sect, nor is she in her mother's palace. If the conditions do not allow her to be elegant, she can only retreat and wear casual clothes every day, with a jade hairpin in a bun.

Yan Zhi is ingenious, and after learning from Chun Tao for a few days, she has already done well.Shen Cuo finally didn't have to tie his own hair anymore, and was quite satisfied with it.

The two were dressed neatly, breakfast was ready, Shen Cuo sat down to eat by himself, and Yanzhi went to wake up his younger brother.

Shen Cuo grew up as the young master of the Tianming Sect, needless to mention the etiquette of eating, he strictly abides by the rules of eating slowly and not talking.

As for her need to use two pairs of chopsticks, it's not out of good taste, but a rule passed down from the Shen family.

Before the founding of Tianmingjiao, the Shen family was originally a powerful family. Many elders in the family were officials in the court. Because they were dissatisfied with the emperor's incompetence, corruption in the court, and collusion with the upper and lower levels, they wrote a letter and retaliated against them. There are as many as a dozen people.

Later, the Shen family was wiped out, and only Shen Cuo's great-grandfather was left to flee, and he has disappeared without a name since then.

Later, Shen Cuo's grandfather founded the Tianming Sect. In his letters, he mentioned that his father met an immortal in the East China Sea, got a book for a day, and then enlightened Taoism. He said all kinds of mysterious and mysterious words.

Even Shen Cuo thinks so, and only treats those as gossip.

However, she has always followed the rules of eating with these two pairs of chopsticks. On the one hand, silver chopsticks can indeed detect a lot of poisons, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to preventing the spread of diseases.

By the time Shen Cuo had finished his breakfast, Yan Zhi had already gone to open the store with another clerk.The sky was completely bright, and the street market was already very lively.

The signboard of Shen Ji's grocery store was brought by Shen Cuo from Maoshanqian Village. Apart from this signboard, the only thing in the grocery store that Rouge felt familiar with was the Warden Shenjun.

Huali has grown up a lot, and still shoulders the responsibility of eradicating rats for Shopkeeper Shen.

But during the day, it prefers to lie lazily in front of the shop, and unexpectedly attracts a lot of business.

The residents of Fucheng are different from the villagers. Except for a few landlords, most of them cannot be self-sufficient in food.

And most of them have some spare money in their hands, and the business of the grocery store is much better than before.

Among them, whoever is the happiest is undoubtedly Rouge.

Shen Cuo is still a hands-off shopkeeper, and it is impossible to count on her in the store. Rouge is doing almost all the work of the shopkeeper now, and another assistant is responsible for other manual work.

Rouge is calculating the revenue for this month.Just at this moment, a man dressed as a literati walked into the grocery store.

The visitor seemed to have just passed his thirties, his appearance was ordinary and there was nothing outstanding, the clerk wanted to greet him when he saw the visitor, but when Yan Zhi raised his head, he was startled.

"Ah, same-"

"Ahem..." The man interrupted Rouge with a light cough, and asked with a pleasant face, "Is Shopkeeper Shen here?"

"This..." Rouge glanced around, and asked the staff to go to the warehouse to check the inventory, and then said cautiously, "Master Tongzhi, why are you here again? Shopkeeper Shen is still angry and doesn't want to see anyone."

The person who came here was a fellow acquaintance from Yanzhou Mansion, and he had visited more than once.It's just that people handed greetings from the side door of the house before, but I didn't expect to come to the shop directly today.

Fortunately, he was not wearing an official uniform, otherwise he would have caused much commotion.

"Little Rouge, please help me beg shopkeeper Shen, the magistrate really has an urgent matter to find her, which is related to the community, if you help me persuade the shopkeeper, it will be a great achievement!"

Rouge's face was troubled: How could she have anything to do with a society like a little fellow?Besides, shopkeeper Shen didn't want to see anyone, so why would he listen to her advice?

When she heard shopkeeper Shen lose his temper, she said that the magistrate of Maoshan County and others died strangely on the way to Yanjing, and the follow-up of the case was over.

Now the magistrate of Yanzhou hopes that shopkeeper Shen can help him again, so it doesn't make her unhappy?

Seeing her hesitation, Tong Zhi lowered his voice and said, "Isn't shopkeeper Shen helping you find your sister? The magistrate is also helping. It's just that some urgent matters are delayed now. If you intercede for us, the matter can be resolved as soon as possible." , Lord Zhifu can concentrate on helping you find your sister."

Yan Zhi is not stupid, knowing that the government can help her find her sister must be for Shen Cuo's sake.This colleague thought she was young and wanted to fool her, it was really annoying.

Yan Zhi's awe of Master Tongzhi has diminished a lot, and she puffed her face and said: "Then I will go and inform you, Sir, please wait."

"Okay, okay, go, go, I will look after the shop for you."

Tongzhi vaguely knew that Shen Cuo had an extraordinary background, and in addition to being the former county magistrate of Maoshan County——

Today's county magistrate Li Deyuan speaks miraculously, so naturally he has 12 points of awe for her.

Although it's a bit out of style to be submissive to the little girl and even coax and lie.

But the big man can bend and stretch, and for the great cause of the emperor and the eldest princess, they can endure humiliation in the south of the Yangtze River. Are they still afraid of this?
