Why do you want me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

Ye Tingyuan was also taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, he heard the guy just say: "Sister, how many times have I told you not to call me Xiaohu!"

"You're not allowed to call out your nickname? Then why are you arguing in the store? Haven't you seen so many customers?"

Qiao Shuyu looked at the person beside him, he thought this person was a buddy!

"It's this person who yelled loudly for the most expensive pens, inks, papers and inkstones as soon as he entered the door. This sounds very vulgar, so I told him not to make any noise."

"Hey, are you telling me not to make any noise? You obviously don't want to sell!"

"How do you talk? What are you selling? You are the one who sells it!"

"I'm not talking about selling one's body, just like you, no one wants to sell one's body!"

"You kid won't cry until you teach me a lesson, right? Look at this young master..."

"okay!"

The woman yelled sharply, and the man stopped wanting to move forward, and looked at Qiao Shuyu angrily, Qiao Shuyu really felt baffled!

"Guest officer, there are rules in the shop, no loud noises are allowed, because besides those who buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, there are also some people who will read and practice calligraphy here, I'm afraid it will disturb you, please forgive me."

"Sorry, it was my fault for being too loud just now, I apologize, and then I want to buy..."

"Do not sell!"

The man replied immediately, and Qiao Shuyu said angrily, "Don't be too much, if it weren't for the fact that your house is well-decorated and big, I wouldn't be willing to buy from you."

"That's right, please go back."

Qiao Shuyu was so angry that his teeth were itching, and suddenly he remembered Ye Tingyuan who had been watching the excitement all the time. He asked displeasedly: "By the way, Ye Tingyuan, why are you here? Buying books?"

In fact, what Qiao Shuyu wanted to ask was, how did you and the girl come out from inside? If you want to buy books and paper, you can buy them outside!

But he didn't dare to ask too clearly, there are so many people here, I'm afraid Ye Tingyuan will feel ashamed later.

"Well, it's you. I haven't seen you read and write on weekdays. Why do you suddenly want to buy these?"

"My son is..."

"Cough hum!"

Qiao Shuyu interrupted Qiao Zhu's words, and then said indifferently: "I just want to practice calligraphy all of a sudden."

"Tch, so I can't even write."

The man sneered contemptuously. Qiao Shuyu felt that this man might be mentally ill, so he didn't bother to talk to him.

"I have all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones. You just need to tell me. You don't need to buy them."

Qiao Shuyu wanted to say that it was bought as a gift for you, but it's not yet the third day of May, so he can't say it yet, so he can only nod casually.

"Ting Yuan, do you know each other?"

The woman asked suddenly, and Qiao Shuyu immediately pricked up her ears, huh?Tingyuan?Why is this girl so affectionate?He hasn't even yelled yet!

"Um……"

"It turned out to be your friend, I was rude just now, little girl Pei Yin, he is my younger brother Pei Yao'an."

"My name is Qiao Shuyu."

"Mr. Qiao, expensive pens, inks, papers and inkstones don't mean they are good. You should choose according to your own preferences. Xiaohu, take Mr. Qiao over there to have a look."

"I told you not to call me Xiaohu!"

Pei Yao'an was about to explode, Qiao Shuyu took a step away calmly, fearing that the city gate would catch fire and the fish in the pond would be affected later, besides, he didn't have the heart to buy it now, Ye Tingyuan was standing here, how could he surprise him!

"Suddenly I don't want to buy it anymore, let's watch it another day, Ye Tingyuan, are you going back? Together?"

"I still have something to do, you go back first."

"Oh……"

Qiao Shuyu was a little displeased, and looked up at Ye Tingyuan and Pei Yin. Standing together, the two really matched each other.

"Anyway, it's still early. If Mr. Qiao is not in a hurry to go back, why not go to the second floor to taste the newly arrived paintings?"

"Ah, good!"

Qiao Shuyu naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. If he left, Ye Tingyuan and Pei Yin would probably be orphans and widows, so what might happen then?

"this way please……"

He went upstairs with them, and couldn't help asking Ye Tingyuan on the stairs: "Why have I never heard you mention this Miss Pei?"

"The granddaughter of the former dean of Chongming Academy."

Qiao Shuyu nodded, and couldn't help but look at Pei Yin a few more times. It turns out that he was born in a scholarly family, so it's no wonder he looks so good-looking. Worse, I really can't compare to him!

"Stop hitting my sister!"

Pei Yaoan warned him in a low voice, Qiao Shuyu looked at him with a mentally retarded look, saying that I have no interest in your sister at all!

Qiao Shuyu took a look at it just now. This shop is called Wenshuang Building. When he went up to the second floor, he found that it was bigger than he imagined. It turned out that there were many calligraphy and paintings on the second floor.

"Come on, Mr. Qiao, come and appreciate this painting."

Just as Qiao Shuyu wanted to follow Ye Tingyuan, he was grabbed by the collar and taken to the other side. He pushed Pei Yaoan's hand away angrily.

"Are you really annoying?"

"Why? Don't you want to appreciate the painting? Here, the painting is here, let's have a good taste?"

Qiao Shuyu looked up at the paintings hanging on the wall, and he could only tell that the paintings were landscapes, but who knew how to evaluate them, and he didn't understand them.

"pretty good……"

"Pfft, I'm afraid you didn't even understand it?"

Qiao Shuyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, turned his head to look at Ye Tingyuan and Pei Yin, who were studying the scrolls on the table with their heads down, and couldn't help but murmur: "Damn it's just looking at a painting, it's necessary to get so close What?!"

"Give up, my sister likes educated people."

"Who really likes your sister!"

Pei Yao'an glanced at him, and then asked in confusion: "You don't like my sister, what do you have to do with them? Could it be that you still like Ye Tingyuan?!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed a few times. Seeing that Qiao Shuyu did not refute, he slowly put away his smile, narrowed his eyes and said, "You really like Ye Tingyuan?"

"none of your business!"

Qiao Shuyu wanted to leave, but Pei Yaoan grabbed his shoulder and said in a low voice, "I thought you liked my sister. If I knew you liked Ye Tingyuan, I wouldn't be bothered to stop you. In fact, I don't agree with my sister either." I like Ye Tingyuan, especially Ye Tingyuan is married."

"Well, that's me."

"What?"

"I said he married me, your grandfather!"

"You? I heard something about Ye Tingyuan marrying a male daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect it to be true. That's great, does it mean that my sister is out of action?"

"Don't be too happy. Although he married me, he doesn't like me. Maybe he likes your sister."

"What the fuck is that scumbag?"

"Speaking of which, why don't you agree that your sister likes Ye Tingyuan?"

"Because I think Ye Tingyuan has a bad personality. Look, my sister doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to talk. If they are together, the house will be quiet all day long, and ghosts can jump out. Ye Tingyuan married you, so it's possible that my sister should marry me and be a child."

Qiao Shuyu looked at Ye Tingyuan, thinking that Pei Yin really likes Ye Tingyuan.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly wither?"

"You're the one withered. I just think that your sister is so beautiful, talented, and temperamental. I can't match her at all. Ye Tingyuan must like her and not me."

"Don't, how could you think that way? If he really liked my sister, he would have married a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until now. I just think he doesn't like it very much, so I'm not willing to take care of my sister, ah, I Got it, did you just buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones as gifts for him?"

"how do you know?"

"Every birthday of Ye, my sister has to prepare gifts in advance. Last time he took a fancy to an inkstone and failed to buy it. My sister kept the new one this time. I guess it's probably for him. .”

Qiao Shuyu was startled, it turned out that someone had already given the inkstone to him, so it's a good thing he didn't buy it, otherwise a person like him who doesn't understand anything must have bought it to his liking.

Pei Yao'an was half a head taller than Qiao Shuyu, and his neck felt sore when he lowered his head to speak like this. He straightened up and moved his neck, and said, "You have to get rid of the one surnamed Ye quickly, or else my sister will be heartbroken." Just jump on him, without looking at anyone else, if this goes on like this, you won't be able to get married, and this Yee won't make it clear to my sister, just explaining it clearly can make her give up."

"If you don't understand it, you just like it."

"Like a fart, why don't you marry if you like it? It's been a waste of time. My sister is nineteen years old. Most girls are married long ago. Now the neighbors are talking about it. I don't care when my sister gets married, but these remarks are right. It's too ugly for a girl, I'm afraid she will feel sad when she hears it."

Qiao Shuyu was a little speechless. He was only 19 years old and was thinking about getting married. It was still too late. In ancient times, early marriage and early childbearing were really the norm!

"Since you like Ye Tingyuan and you are married again, then you have the best chance if you are close to the water. Would you like me to give you some advice?"

"What do you think?"

"I know that Ye Tingyuan has been looking for a collection of poems. It's very difficult to find. If you can give him a collection of poems as a gift, he will be happy."

"Where can I find it?"

"I'm here."

"Why did you help me?"

"I said it, I don't want my sister to continue wasting time on him. There are so many people chasing my sister. It's better to just pick one. Of course, I'm not saying he's not good. I just don't think he's suitable for my sister. , My sister has wasted too many years on him, it's not worth it."

"That's fine, you can help me find it. It's best to find it before the third day of May."

"Understood, I found it and sent it to Ye Mansion for you."

"I came out to look for you. If you go to Ye Mansion to look for me, it will be too conspicuous. Ye Tingyuan will not be surprised when he finds out."

"That's right, let's leave it to me."

"Where are you going to find it?"

"I know a few masters of the older generation. There may be news from them. I'll ask tomorrow."

"Then you wait for me tomorrow morning, and I will go with you."

"Why are you going? Those masters are stubborn and don't like uneducated people."

"It's fine if I don't talk. This is a gift I want to give Ye Tingyuan. I want to find it myself."

"Okay, okay, see you at the entrance of the Chongming Restaurant at Chenshi Jiekou tomorrow morning?"

"Ah."

"Now I see you much more pleasing to the eye than before."

"Go away..."

Qiao Shuyu kicked Pei Yao'an, and suddenly felt that he was in a slightly better mood.

"Ting Yuan?"

Pei Yin yelled, Ye Tingyuan came back to look at her, and asked her what's the matter with his eyes, Pei Yin asked: "I said so much just now, you didn't listen to a single word?"

"Feel sorry."

"What are you looking at?"

Pei Yin looked in the direction Ye Tingyuan was looking at just now, and saw her stupid younger brother was talking about something with one hand on Qiao Shuyu's shoulder, the two were talking and laughing, and seemed to be quite harmonious.

"It's strange, Xiaohu just didn't want to see Mr. Qiao's appearance very much, why in a blink of an eye, the two of them are brothers."

Ye Tingyuan didn't answer, but narrowed his eyes slightly, his complexion was obviously not very good.
