Breeding Mermaid Cubs

"I'll pick you up after school. Didn't I always ask me to take you to Fuxizhai before? I'll take you there today?"

Mian Shu washed his face. He went to bed too early yesterday, and his eyes were a little swollen when he woke up today. He put the book bag on his shoulder, and replied nana: "Yeah."

"Let's go." Wang Qingye stretched out his hand, Mianshu didn't look at him, but still put his hand up.

As soon as the days turned around, it was February, and the weather was getting better and warmer: "In two days, it will be the day when the dragon looks up and enjoys the spring. Do you want to go out for the spring?"

"Come back and talk about it."

As soon as Mianshu arrived at the gate of the academy, he saw Tian Yuchen and Jiang Yu coming, they greeted him, he went up to meet him, and finally turned his head and said to Wang Qingye: "You go back."

Wang Qingye sighed, this brat is really screwy: "Then I'll come pick you up after school?"

Mianshu didn't answer, and went in with her two classmates.

Jiang Yu raised her neck and glanced outside the academy: "Mianshu, did you quarrel with Wang Langjun?"

"Why do you say that?"

"In the past, when Mr. Lang sent you here, you had to talk to him outside for a long time before entering the academy. Today, Mr. Lang was sent away with just a few words."

Mian Shu said: "Yesterday, Master told Tong Tong to memorize the thousand-character prose by heart?"

"Oh, I came here a long time ago to study again, hurry up, go in and take a look." Jiang Yu said with a bitter face, "If only I could remember as well as you do."

"Go ahead, I'm not in a hurry."

"That's it."

Mian Shu watched the two of them enter the teaching room, then ran out of the academy, peeked behind the gate, and saw Wang Qingye was going to the north of the city, presumably to visit the new shop, he hummed softly With a sound, he lazily returned to the classroom.

Wang Qingye went to the snack shop first, and all the guys who have been retained today have come to report. When he passed by, he met Zhang Yaner who was planning to go there at the intersection. He talked with Zhang's father and daughter at the beginning of the year , if you are willing to continue working on his side, you can come over when the shop is almost ready, Zhang Yan'er readily agreed.

After Qin Minglang's incident, she became sober a lot. She thinks that many men are unreliable. Instead of entrusting the good life to others, it is better to learn more skills on her now, so that she can earn money and ease the family. Second, she also likes to be busy doing business.

Zhang Yan'er tidied up neatly, and swept away the haggard years ago, she said to Wang Qingye with a smile: "Daddy's feet are already recovering, after the fishing moratorium, he will be able to go to sea again."

"That's a good thing."

"I made an agreement with his old man. After all, he is getting old now, so it's definitely not as easy as it was in the early years. After the fishing moratorium is over, he will go to sea once every two days, and he doesn't have to worry about how much he has to collect. Now I can also earn money, and my family doesn’t have to live so hard, and I don’t need to save so much dowry money for me.”

Wang Qingye nodded: "It's good that Uncle Wu agrees to open it."

The two chatted a few words and then arrived at the shop. The small shop was located in the middle of the west of the city. At that time, Wang Qingye spent 45 taels of silver to buy the shop, and it took nearly ten taels to repair it. The building is much less.

Although the starting price of Jiangchun Tower was said to be cheap at the beginning, it cost a lot of money to put it together. The so-called "you get what you pay for" means that if you pay less, you will have to make up for it later. Fortunately, It's because Jiang Chunlou is making good money now, and when the fishing moratorium is over, the Tang family's fleet will be able to go to sea, and the business will be able to maintain the business during the Chinese New Year period.

He will be able to go to sea at the end of February, and he has to start the business before then.

"I think you have seen how many people want to come to the shop to do things this time. Since you can be selected from so many people, it means that you are different from ordinary people. However, although the three of you Stay here, but don’t think it’s a one-and-done thing, just do it steadily for a month and see, if I find out that she’s cheating and cheating, then don’t blame me for turning my face and denying others.”

With his back on his back, Zhou Zhu's face was full of old-fashioned looks: "From now on, Aunt He will be mainly responsible for cleaning the dishes in the shop, and Zhang Er will be mainly responsible for greeting the guests. As for Ma Lao, he will cook with me as a helper. This is just The main responsibility, don’t think it’s someone else’s business, just do it without doing it. You do a good job and treat the shop as your own business. Naturally, the boss will not treat you badly. The business of the shop will be good in the future Yes, your wages also have the opportunity to go up.”

"Yes, what Zhou Langjun said is that if we can be selected from the top of the list, we will definitely do our jobs well in the future." Zhang Er and the woman said together: "Young Lord, if you have something to do, just tell me."

Wang Qingye didn't go in outside the shop: "It seems that I don't need to say anything more, Zhou Zhu's affairs are done properly, and I don't need to worry about it."

Zhang Yan'er lowered her head and laughed.

"You go in."

After Zhou Zhu dismissed the people to do things, he saw a familiar figure walking in. He shook his hand holding the tea bowl, and hurriedly greeted him: "Yan'er, why are you here?"

"It was Wang Langjun who asked me to come here, and I will also obey the steward's orders in the future."

"Don't laugh at me." Zhou Zhu scratched his head: "Lang Jun didn't tell me beforehand that you were coming over, look at my disheveled body."

"Nothing."

"By the way, where is Mr. Lang?"

"He went back beforehand and said that I will leave everything to you." Zhang Yan'er said, "If you are free now, you can take me to the shop, I'm so familiar with it."

"It's done, it's done."

Wang Qingye went back to Jiangchun Building, and he hadn't met Xu Ruozhi for most of the day, and he didn't know if he would come today.

"Lang Jun, do you want to send food to the academy for my little brother today?"

"No, I gave him some extra money today, and he ate outside."

"Yes."

At noon, after school at the Meditation Academy, Mian Shu took the money bag and went to the small restaurant next to the academy to eat clam vermicelli. Jiangyu and Tian Yuchen didn't memorize the book, so they had to go to the study hall. I have to bring a copy for the two of them, fearing that there will be too many people later, and he will jump out just now when the bell is rung.

"Xiao Er, here are three sets of clam vermicelli, eat one here, and take two away." After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it, take all three away."

"Okay. The guest officer will come in a moment."

The small shop here provides food boxes for meals. If you pack and take it back to the academy to eat, you will give a few pennies as a deposit. You can bring the food box in at noon and return it to the small shop at night to get the money back.

Mian Shu carried the food box back to the academy, at the moment there was a crowd of people delivering and picking up food at the door, in the past Wang Qingye would bring it to him when he was empty, if he was really too busy to leave, he would ask the waiter to deliver the food, at noon It was the time when the restaurant was busy, and he thought it would be troublesome for Wang Qingye to run three times a day, so sometimes he was not allowed to run away at noon.

"Little brother, little brother."

He heard someone calling all the time, and after several times, he looked back and realized that it was really calling him.

"Who are you? What's the matter?"

"Our lady would like to treat my brother to tea."

Mian Shu glanced at the carriage parked at the side, and immediately recognized that Miss Xu's often sat there. He shook the food box in his hand: "I still have to deliver lunch to my classmates, so I don't have time."

"We can wait for the little brother."

Mian Shu's brows twitched slightly, he wanted to see what the young lady wanted him for: "That's fine, please wait a moment."

The maid looked at him with a smile and went to the carriage after entering the academy: "Miss, the little brother agreed."

After a while Mianshu came out, the maid led him into the carriage, Mianshu waved her hand: "There is a tea house in front, don't bother to go to other places, I have to go to school later."

"Miss?"

"to make."

Xu Ruozhi got out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and they went to the teahouse.

"My little brother likes to eat cakes. This mille-feuille cake and jujube cake are very sweet."

Xu Ruozhi pushed the pastry box towards the delicate and indistinguishable little brother in front of her. In fact, she had noticed the little brother since the first day she went to Jiangchunlou, and was only surprised at how Jiangchunlou could recruit him. Seeing this young man with such a face, the servants did some inquiries yesterday and found out that this young man turned out to be Wang Qingye's cousin.

From yesterday's point of view, Wang Qingye seems to dote on this younger brother very much. If she can start with this young man and gain his trust, it will surely get twice the result with half the effort.

Mian Shu didn't eat the pastries, but took a sip of milk tea, and said straight to the point: "Your sister is the favorite king Qingye?"

Xu Ruozhi was slightly surprised, but thinking that he would say this sooner or later, he simply responded: "I will tell you my brother, I see that Mr. Lang treats people kindly and has a noble character, he is a rare good man...... So... …”

"Actually, I also like my sister very much. She is as beautiful as a flower and has a lot of money. It is his blessing to like Wang Qingye, no, it is also my blessing. From now on, he will bring me into Xu's mansion, so he doesn't have to worry about it." I studied hard to get a good name!" Mian Shu said with a gleam in his eyes: "Like my sister, I don't care about his past, and I think he is a good person, she is really a rare good girl in the world."

Xu Ruozhi was suddenly dazed by these words: "Little brother, why did you say that, did you and Wang Langjun have a good life before?"

"It's not bad, and it's pretty good, but I feel that he's a little burdened. If he didn't take me with him, he wouldn't be single today."

"Lang-jun and his younger brother have a deep brotherly relationship, which just reflects their emphasis on ethics, so there is no such thing as a drag."

Mian Shu opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xu Ruozhi in disbelief: "Did he not tell you?"

"say what?"

"I think the two of you are quite familiar with each other, so I thought he told you everything." Mian Shu sighed, "That's right, when he meets a girl like Miss Xu, I'm afraid that Miss will listen to how he tells the past. After that, he will never talk to him again. He must feel inferior and feel that he is not worthy of Miss."

The more Xu Ruozhi listened, the more uncertain he felt: "Could it be that Mr. Lang and my brother are not brothers?"

"Of course not."

Xu Ruozhi felt a chill in his heart, no wonder Wang Langjun would get along with Fourth Brother Tang, he turned out to be a fellow man, and he was even more outrageous than Fourth Brother Tang, and he liked to raise teenagers in captivity.

"Although he looks quite young, he is not. He is nearly [-] this year. I look tall and old, but I am not. I am young. After all, he is in the same line. He is tall, so I He grew up fast from a young age."

"So...you are father and son?"

Xu Ruozhi's eyes were bright, and he immediately understood what he meant.

"Didn't you hear him call me a brat yesterday? Of course it's a brat! I thought you knew the inside story when he was so talkative in front of the lady. Hey, I've told him many times too. , Don’t casually let people know about our relationship outside, he’s just that impulsive.”

Xu Ruozhi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just father and son, not... wait, father and son!"

She carefully glanced at the harmless young man in front of him: "Father, father and son? But the little brother is not like Wang Langjun."

"Oh, that's right. I'm more like my mother. My mother has a strong temper, so I inherited my mother's appearance, but my body is inherited from my father."

Xu Ruozhi bitterly said, "Then, Na Lingtang should be a great beauty."

"Yes, my mother is a well-known beauty in the local area, and everyone who has seen her praises her."

"Then why are Lang Jun and my little brother here?"

"Our hometown is in the area of ​​Sichuan and Shu. My mother was so beautiful, and my father was very sad, so she took me away from Sichuan and Shu for many years, and then came to Xiacheng. I thought it was a good place to stay and take root, for my father. Forget that there is a new beginning in the past, so everyone calls him elder brother." Mian Shu frowned, and said solemnly: "Please don't tell these things to the outside world, miss, because it is really a very private matter."

"it is good........"

Xu Ruozhi suddenly forgot what the purpose of his trip was. The news was so shocking that he couldn't digest it for a while.

Mian Shu kindly reminded: "I know my sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, so she definitely won't mind his past, right? If you think I'm an eyesore, I'll just live outside when you get married. Give me some money, and I'm sure I won't come to pester you."

"By the way, sister must have come to me this time to find out what my father likes. Actually, sister, don't worry, he just has a cold face and a warm heart, and he is not very expressive. He is very easy-going and lives a simple life. There is nothing wrong with him." Hobbies, that is, I like to roll up the quilt and grind my teeth when I sleep at night, and I usually like to drink alcohol, eat coriander, Houttuynia cordata..."

"Wait, does that gentleman like coriander and Houttuynia cordata?"

"Ah, that's right! Our hometown is Sichuan~"

"Actually, I'm also an open-minded person. I can talk about everything else. It's just that it's very difficult if my living habits don't match. I never like coriander and Houttuynia cordata. The taste really doesn't suit my husband. I have to go back and take care of this matter." Think about it. I will trouble my little brother to make a trip today, and he will go to school soon, I will ask the maid to take the little brother back."

Mian Shu said anxiously: "If my sister really cares about this matter, I can tell him well when I go back, I just don't want to eat, everything is according to my sister's taste."

"If you just let Langjun endure the grievances, I won't bear it. I will definitely think about it. Don't worry, little brother. Autumn color, send little brother back to the academy."

"Brother, this way please."

While going downstairs, Mian Shu twisted her neck and said to the elegant room: "Sister Ruozhi, come to Jiangchun Building to find me if you have anything to do, and you must tell me after you think about it......"

"Little brother, let's go, the bell will ring later."

"Miss, is what this little brother said true or false?"

Xu Ruozhi supported his forehead, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not, but at least one thing is undeniable. The two of them are very close, and their mother sent someone to investigate. This Wang Qingye is indeed not from Xiacheng, and the details cannot be found out, or the little brother What he said was true, or Wang Qingye had some other unbearable past.

Otherwise, why would the good-natured man leave his hometown and deliberately conceal it.She felt a headache, what is it called?

"That's all, that's all, let's go home, I'm so annoyed and flustered."

February [-]st is also known as the "Spring Plowing Festival". Farming and mulberry are highly valued in the dynasty, so this solar term is especially valued by the people. In addition to respecting the dragon and praying for rain, everyone will also pray for a good harvest on this day. Outing in spring.

Meditation Academy also had a day off, so Mian Shu tidied herself up early in the morning and prepared to go out for a spring break.

Today, many people will pick wild vegetables to make special snacks, such as spring pancakes with camphor tea, duck, radish and leeks, soft and sweet fried oil cakes, shepherd’s purse rice, etc.

Wang Qingye also brought a small basket, ready to pick some shepherd's purse as the custom goes, and make a cold double silk or scrambled eggs.

On the way out, I met a lot of women and girls going out of the city, and they were going to burn incense in the temple, and some were going to pick wild vegetables in spring, walking, driving ox carts, and riding in horse-drawn carts~ It was so lively.

Wang Qingye spent some money to hire an ox cart, and hugged Mianshu up by the waist: "It's a good way to go to the countryside to enjoy the spring. Taking an ox cart is the most convenient way to enjoy the scenery along the way, but it runs slower than a horse cart."

"it is good."

Xiacheng is warm early, and there is already a spring scene in the mountains and fields. Weeds and vegetables in the fields are full of greenery, and wild flowers are blooming one after another.

Mian Shu was in a good mood, leaning on the side of the ox cart, said: "I have seen that Miss Xu's family has not come to our restaurant these days, the girl's mind is really changeable."

Although Wang Qingye was indeed waiting for the opportunity to explain clearly to Xu Ruozhi, but it was such a coincidence that no one had appeared since that day. I thought Mianshu hadn't mentioned this matter again in the past few days, and I thought it was a child. His temper came and went quickly, but he didn't expect to secretly hold back his temper and make fun of him.

"What do you want to say again?"

"No." Mian Shu shrugged, "It's just that she doesn't like you that much."

Wang Qingye flicked his forehead, and Xiao Yuzai grabbed the carriage: "Just get off here, there are many people picking wild vegetables here."

Originally, I planned to go to Shitou Village, but I let the ox cart driver Hao earn some money.

Nowadays, shepherd's purse is fresh and tender, and there are many ways to eat it. People who pick it not only want to have fun, but also want to eat it for a while.It's not unusual, people in the city have never farmed, so they will naturally take the opportunity to come out to experience farm music today, while most people in the countryside go to temples to burn incense and pray for good weather this year.

Xiao Yuzi honestly dug a few shepherd's purses and went to pick peaches, plums, and rapeseed flowers. After a while, the basket was filled to the brim, and Wang Qingye simply found a stone pier to sit and watch Yuzi pick flowers.

I don't know if it's a delusion or it's just the way it is. He always feels that the people digging wild vegetables in the fields are always looking at him and Mian Shu, and talking in a low voice. In fact, he has often encountered this situation before, but like today It's really rare that it's so obvious.

"It's him."

"The appearance of the two is really not bad."

"What's the point of having a good appearance? It's most likely to seduce the rich lady's heart. I see that the purpose of concealing it is to find a wealthy family. I advise everyone to pay close attention to the girls at home."

"Mrs. Zhang is serious. According to what you said, people don't look down on our girl. Mr. Ren has opened a restaurant in the city. It's very popular, but he almost has a little spare money."

"Why are you all thinking about whether Mr. Ren will coax your daughter to go? Is it just me who thinks it's not easy for a widower to leave his hometown with a son?"

"It's true to say that, if his family background is better, how many girls will catch up with him?"

.........

"Brother Wang, can you still have fun in spring?"

Wang Qingye stood up and saw a carriage stopped on the official road ahead, and the man in the carriage waved a folding fan to greet him.

"Hey, can Master Tang go out again?"

Tang Suxiao got down from the carriage, and sent a servant to follow with a basket: "I just came back from the temple to pray for blessings, and I happened to meet Brother Wang, so I simply dug some shepherd's purse and asked the cook to make two plates of pickled rice. side dishes."

"The little beauty is here too."

Mian Shu was too lazy to talk to Tang Suxiao, and went to pick flowers on her own.

Tang Suxiao sat down next to Wang Qingye, asked the boy to dig wild vegetables, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Wang, I really have you. I never thought that you would think of anything to get rid of the relationship with Miss Xu. come out."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Suxiao shook his head: "Brother Wang, why bother to pretend to be stupid with me? I ran to Xu's house yesterday. My sister was very sad. Mrs. Xu blamed herself for not knowing people clearly. Brother is much stronger than me."

The more Wang Qingye listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "If you have something to say, just say it, why don't you always make people wait in circles."

"Nowadays, there is an uproar among the big families in the city. They say that the owner of Jiangchunlou on Dongnan Street is a widower with a son, so he has to take good care of his daughter, and he is not allowed to be with this outstanding-looking old man who is actually not young. Come and go privately, so as not to miss a lifetime."

Wang Qingye: "......"

Tang Suxiao applauded and praised: "I never thought of this once-and-for-all solution. If I had made up a story about my hidden illness back then, it would have saved my father from stuffing seven or eight beautiful girls in my room, fighting each other all day long." It's a headache for people who make trouble, after all, I'm not as resolute as Brother Wang, and I can't be cruel to myself."

Wang Qingye had a stiff smile on his face, but he couldn't laugh in his heart. No matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to have a son at the age of twelve or thirteen.

He waved at his eldest son: "Mianshu, let's go back first."

The author has something to say: Wang Qingye: Okay, now the whole city knows that I am an old man.

I reasonably suspect that someone is fattening up, throwing and rolling, so don’t fatten up when it’s six days~ (crying jitter jpg)
