Village Flowers and Female Scholars

Under Zhuang Wan's introduction, Xie Yan and others knew that Lan Xi was from the Changfeng Escort.

As soon as Cao E heard about Changfeng Escort, she felt familiar. Zong Jing went to restaurants to eat noodles every three days. Her clothes were the uniform of Changfeng Escort. A little more close.

Xie Yan recalled that Zhuang Wan and Zong Jing had pretended not to know each other before, and now they were related to the people in the bodyguard bureau. She didn't know if she was careless or too lazy to hide it anymore, so she couldn't help but glanced at her.

Zhuang Wan had a rare guilty expression.

After parting from Lan Xi, the few of them walked around for a long time, and the baskets behind each of them were also full.

Walking around, Xie Yan suddenly felt that there were less chattering voices in her ears, and when she turned her head, she found that her younger brother who had been bouncing around was much quieter now, but he was limping when he walked, but he still insisted on following Walking around behind a few people, she hurriedly stopped and asked, "Gu'er, why didn't you tell Sister when your foot hurts?"

Only then did Xie Yuangu lower his head with some grievances, his eyes were slightly red.

"What's the matter, did you sprain your foot?"

Xie Yan asked herself, whether it was the original body or the one who has taken over this body now, they have always loved this younger brother very much, but for some reason he didn't tell himself when his feet hurt.

Knowing the son is not like the mother, Cao E has been immersed in her own world just now, and ignored her son for a while, and at this time she blamed herself too much. Seeing him like this, she guessed his thoughts and said: "I'm afraid it hurts, Next time you come to town, don't take him with you."

Xie Yan's heart trembled when she heard this, but this little child was so sensitive, other children would act like a spoiled child, but her younger brother looked at him in pain but still kept silent.

Only then did Xie Yuangu hesitantly say: "I accidentally twisted it just now and it hurt a little bit. It's just a little bit painful. You can still go shopping, sister."

Xie Yan carried him to the stone bench by the side of the road, removed his shoes and socks, only to find that his ankle was swollen to a great height, feeling guilty and sad, touched Xie Yuangu's small face and said: "It's all swollen up If this is the case, why don't you make a sound, why would my sister not take you to the street because of your foot pain, in the future, whenever our Gu'er wants to go to the city, sister will bring you here, okay?"

Xie Yuangu was hugged by his mother, and was comforted by his sister's soft voice. His mood improved a lot, but he still said sadly: "Sister, my feet hurt and I can't walk, so I just sit here Just wait, you just go shopping and come back to find me."

Cao E hurriedly said: "Silly boy, why did you stay here alone, mother will wait here with you."

Zhuang Wan, who hadn't said a word for a long time, said: "There is a medical clinic nearby, let the doctor apply some traumatic medicine first, or you will suffer some pain when you go back at night."

Cao E heard the words and wanted to hug Xie Yuangu, Xie Yan hurriedly said: "Mother, your basket is so heavy, I can just hug him."

Before she finished speaking, Zhuang Wan had already taken off the small pannier on Xie Yuangu's back and let Xie Yan carry it, and with all her strength, she picked up the little boy and walked towards the medical clinic.

When Xie Yan saw it, her heart warmed, and she beckoned her mother to follow.

Xie Yuangu's foot was just accidentally sprained, and it's not a big problem after applying some medicine. As long as you don't use your strength, it will be fine for a few days.

I haven't bought the paper for printing yet, and originally wanted to go to the bookstore in the county to check the market of the story books here, but seeing Xie Yuangu's state, I'm afraid I can't bring the mother and son with me.

Cao E also knew that they needed to look at other things, so she urged, "Go and do your work. Gu'er and I just wait here."

Zhuang Wan looked at Cao E's gentle and beautiful appearance, and at this time there was a group of reckless men who had clashed in the medical center and came to heal their injuries. Then, thinking of what the aunt said earlier, there are often traffickers in the county recently, she frowned and said: "The Escort is not far from here, go there and rest."

Xie Yan listened to the noisy voices in the hospital, and also felt that it was inappropriate to keep her mother and brother here, so she agreed to Zhuang Wan's proposal.

But when Cao E heard that she was going to the Escort, she immediately thought of the woman's bold outfit just now, and couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, but she didn't want to be a burden to her daughter, so she complied.

Zhuang Wan held Xie Yuangu in her arms, and led the crowd down two alleys to the escort agency.

It is similar to what you see on TV in ancient costumes. There is a big plaque at the entrance of the compound, with the words Changfeng Escort Bureau written on it. After entering the door, it is the hall where the escorts are usually received on weekdays. Enter the small door on the right and you will see the large courtyard. There are more than a dozen rooms in the yard, and a large open space in the middle, where all kinds of weapons are placed, but the knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks are scattered all over the ground in a mess.

When the people in the security agency saw Zhuang Wan coming in, they looked at each other and hesitated to speak. They didn't know how to address her and dared not look up at her until a burst of laughter broke the situation.

Aunt Lan came in through the side door, saw Zhuang Wan and the others, and after sweeping her eyes over Cao E's face, said with a smile, "Yo, we just separated and met again."

Looking at Xie Yuangu's feet that were swollen like a steamed bun, he hugged him from Zhuang Wan's arms and said, "This little guy's feet must be sprained. Auntie will take you to rest."

Cao E hurriedly followed up.

Seeing that her mother and younger brother had been settled, Xie Yan dragged Zhuang Wan to buy printing paper.

Although she didn't know the relationship between Zhuang Wan and the people in the security bureau, she could still trust Zhuang Wan's character, which was much better than leaving her mother and brother on the street.

The two walked out of the escort agency and went straight to the street in the city that exclusively sold the Four Treasures of the Study. Sure enough, there were four or five shops selling paper there, and there were a wide variety of paper.

Xie Yan made a careful comparison, and found the most suitable paper for mimeograph paper, and the price is needless to say, very expensive.

Then choose medium-quality white paper as the printing paper. This kind of paper is slightly better than the one Zhuang Wanyu used in his copybooks, but it is enough.

In this way, the box behind Zhuang Wan's back was also filled to the brim.

"Is it heavy or not, let me carry half of it." Xie Yan said, wanting to take out half in distress.

Zhuang Wan didn't think it was too heavy, and she didn't want to give it to her. When the two were arguing, a voice came from behind.

"Zhuang Xiucai, why are you here?"

Hearing the sound, Xie Yan stood up and looked back, only to see a thin man wearing a washed white gown, staring at Zhuang Wan.

"..." Zhuang Wan was at a loss.

"You can't be a nobleman who forgets too much and forgets me. We copied books together at Boss Liang's place earlier. My name is Xu Qiuyang."

It was only at this time that Zhuang Wan matched up the person in front of her with the person in her memory. Although the two didn't have a deep connection before, they probably still remembered this person.

"Remember, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It's been a long time since you went to pick up the script and copy it. I haven't met you every time I go."

"Oh, I'm busy with some things at home recently, so I don't have time to copy books."

Hearing this, Xu Qiuyang stared at the stack of papers in her sack again, his eyes full of doubts, since he didn't copy books, how could he buy so much paper, and some papers were of the highest quality, like theirs? Such a poor scholar can't afford it.

But he knew that Zhuang Wan had always disliked others prying into her privacy, so he wisely stopped asking.

He took out a book from his arms with excitement and said: "You haven't been to the bookstore recently, and you haven't paid much attention to the things in these circles, let me tell you, Boss Liang has collected several books from somewhere. These story books are all excellent works, and now these story books have become popular in our entire county, especially the sons and daughters of rich families, who want to have a copy. You can’t even copy it.”

Hearing what she said, Xie Yan looked at the book in his hand, on which was written "Three Ladies of the Lotus Flower" and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Naturally, Zhuang Wan also saw the title of the book, and her originally indifferent face became more expressive at this time.

"Just this one, I've already copied five or six copies, and I haven't taken it to the bookstore for business. If you want to read it, I can lend it to you for two days."

Zhuang Wan usually has no friends. She met Xu Qiuyang in Boss Liang's bookstore more than a year ago. It's not because of the matter between men and women, but I feel that this person has a straight face all day long, and he just wants to talk to her to see if there are other expressions on this face.

Unfortunately, apart from alienation and coldness, other expressions are rarely seen.

But when I met her this time, I felt that this woman seemed to have changed slightly, as if she was not as cold as before?

Oh my god, I seem to have seen her smile!

The more Xu Qiuyang discovered these changes, the more curious he was about what happened to Zhuang Wan during this period of time, which made her change so much.

"I've read this story before." Although Zhuang Wan's expression was still calm, her brows and eyes were stretched, making her look approachable.

"Have you read it? How is it possible? Boss Liang told me that this book is the original, and asked me to make a few copies as soon as possible and distribute it to several others."

Xie Yan, who was at the side, looked at the stupid scholar in front of him, and suddenly thought of teasing him, and took out the first volume of "Feng Sanniang" that she and Zhuang Wan printed with a mimeograph last night from the box and handed it to him.

"How do you look at this book?"

Xu Qiuyang had just noticed the beautiful little lady beside Zhuang Wan. Although he had always been shameless, he didn't have the habit of striking up a conversation with others at will.

The new story book was still bound by Cao E, and it was neat and tidy. When I opened it again, the handwriting on it was neat and clean, and it was very comfortable to look at. It’s just that such thin strokes don’t seem like they could be written with old pens. .

"What kind of pen did you use to write the handwriting, my little lady? The tip of this pen is really as thin as a cow's hair. This version of the characters looks very smooth and easy."

Xie Yan and Zhuang Wan looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

Zhuang Wan said: "Look at the content again."

Hearing this, Xu Qiuyang quickly focused on the content. He has always been a fast reader, and he finished reading the first page in no time. After finishing the first page, he was not in a hurry to turn the page, raised his head and said to Zhuang Wan: " Zhuang Xiucai, if I am not mistaken, the narrative style and wording and sentence making of this storybook and the "Three Ladies of the Lotus Flower" in my hand should be written by the same person."

Xie Yan didn't expect this person's eyes to be so sharp, Zhuang Wan didn't seem to reject him very much, she rolled her eyes, and an idea soon came to her mind.
