"Don't worry, you will definitely get a reward." Yunxi said. He then pointed to a nearby store at random: "This is the store. I will buy some things from this store for you."
"Okay." Yunzhi said with a smile, looked at the store's plaque, and suddenly said: "I seem to have seen the plaque of this store before."
"Fujin Anxuan." Yunxi looked at the plaque and said with a smile: "It turns out it is this family. What a coincidence."
"Yunzhi, do you still remember that you went to Suzhou with your brother six years ago? Which merchant named Li was very famous in Suzhou? It was theirs."
"Suzhou Li family, my sister remembered it." Yunzhi also remembered it. "At that time, my sister also met a girl from the Li family."
"And he also gave others the jade pendant he wore personally." Yunxi said.
"Brother, you are so honest. Even if you secretly send someone to follow you, don't say it outright." Yun Zhi rolled her eyes at him.
"How can that be called following? It's clearly a guard." Yun Xi said confidently.
"Yes, yes, she is a guard." Yun Zhi said a few words perfunctorily, and then said with some nostalgia: "I wonder what is happening to the girl who I was very fond of at the time? She is in the capital at this time."
Li Yonglin was the only outsider she had ever met who interacted with her on an equal footing. It was the only time in her seventeen-year life that she had understood what the so-called "handkerchief" meant. When she suddenly mentioned it, she felt a little nostalgic.
"She is two years older than you. She should have been married long ago, and she cannot be in the capital." Yunxi said casually. No matter how leisurely he was, he would not care about the current situation of a daughter of a merchant family, and could only make casual judgments based on her age.
"That's right. Girls from families like theirs get married earlier than ours, so they should have already gotten married." Yun Zhi said with some emotion.
"Would you like to go in and take a look at the jewelry? Their jewelry store can be opened in the capital, and they also have some novel and unique jewelry. You also liked it six years ago." Yunxi was afraid that she would think of her upcoming marriage.
Because he missed the life in the palace and was unhappy, he quickly changed the subject.
"That's it, I won't look at it anymore. Choose another one." Yunzhi raised her head and glanced at the plaque again, saying this while thinking in her heart: 'I also told her at that time that if she came to the capital, she could come to me with her jade pendant.
, it seems that she has not come to the capital. But my identity means that even if she comes to the capital, she may not come to me unless she is forced to come for help. I still hope that she will not come to me.'
"Okay, let's take a look at other people's jewelry and take it back." He glanced at Siqi, who had been silent since just now, and said, "I'll give you a copy too."
"Thank you, uncle." Siqi said with a sweet smile.
After that, a few people started wandering around this street. Yunzhi was a princess of the clan, and Siqi was also raised as a princess. They had seen so many good things, and ordinary jewelry certainly couldn't catch their eye; even
Although Yunxi has never studied jewelry, he can always see the jewelry worn by his wife, sister, and daughter. When he sees something in the store, he can immediately judge with intuition whether it is good or not. So the three of them chose it.
I didn’t pick a few things at once.
Yunxi gradually became impatient and excused himself to go out because of the stuffy atmosphere in the store. He took a few breaths of the fresh air on the street, which was full of carbon dioxide exhaled by pedestrians. Suddenly he thought of Wenqi who went out with Zhu Bao and asked the person next to him.
The guard asked: "Where are Zhu Bao and Wen Qi?"
"Sir, Guard Song is guarding the third young master and the young nephew over there," the guard said while pointing to the east street entrance.
"Have a look. If the young lady and cousin come out, tell me right away." Yunxi said these two words and walked towards where Zhu Bao and Wen Qi were.
After a few steps, he walked to the shop pointed by the guard. He looked up and saw that it was a bookstore. He said with some confusion: "Why did Wen Qi change his gender and start reading books? Even if he changed his gender, Zhu Bao couldn't.
It only takes a few days to change your gender."
Originally, Yunxi was just out for a walk out of boredom. Anyway, where did Wen Qi and Zhu Bao go today and what they did in the evening. Someone will report to him. If he wants more details, he will pass it down orally and tell him tomorrow morning.
I could see a 10,000-word reportage; but seeing Wen Qi and Zhu Bao in such a place that did not suit their personalities, I became interested and walked in.
The guard beside him also wanted to advise: "Master, be careful of the danger. What if there is an assassin lurking inside? This is different from a jewelry store after all." Yunxi visited the most high-end jewelry stores, and only those who knew how to choose jewelry there would not.
I know how to be an assassin; bookstores are different, poor people can also like to read books.
"The same goes for bookstores." Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but still walked in. It's easy for a scholar to make a living, even if he can't pass the examination as a scholar, as long as he doesn't feel embarrassed about doing business and opens a shop in his hometown.
It is still possible to work as an accountant in the middle school. Maybe there will be business friends who are willing to donate a supervisor to him, and he will directly participate in the provincial examination and will not be an assassin.
But despite what he said, Yunxi was still much more nervous than he was in the jewelry store. As soon as he walked in, he assumed a posture of guarding the middle door, and the two guards immediately jumped in front of him.
However, Yunxi glanced around the store, relaxed immediately, and asked the two guards to step back. At this time, except for the man who seemed to be the owner, there were only six customers in the store, one of whom was Zhu Bao, one was Wen Qi, and two
One was a guard, and he actually knew the other two.
"Mr. Yu." Yunxi slightly cupped his hands and said.
"I've seen Mr. Sun." The man immediately saluted. The child beside him also saluted like him and said, "I've seen Mr. Sun."
"I have met Uncle Shi/Father." Zhu Bao and Wen Qi also hurriedly saluted.
"I asked, how come they two people who don't like reading come to the bookstore? It turns out they met Mr. Yu." Yunxi said with a smile: "Mr. Yu loves reading, and Xiao Yu also likes it, so he dragged them to the bookstore.
It’s as it should be.”
"Master, what you said is wrong. The student and Quanzi were the young nephew and third young master we met in the store. They were not brought in by the student." The man who spoke was Yu Qian's father, Yu Xu. He had been dragged by Yun Xusheng.
He entered the imperial city and became a teacher in the primary school of the imperial academy, and was very familiar with Wen Qi and others.
"Oh, Qier, will you take the initiative to read a book?" Yunxi couldn't help but pull Wenqi over and asked: "Even if you want to read a book, can't you do it at home? What kind of books don't we have at home?"
"Dad, this, this," Wen Qi hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Dad is asking you something, why don't you speak?" Yunxi was a little dissatisfied, but also mixed with doubts: "Wenqi is usually the most daring to speak among the three brothers, why are you hesitating to me today? What do you need?"
Hidden from me?'
He asked a few more questions, but Wenqi just hesitated and didn't answer. Yunxi became angry and was about to reprimand when he heard Zhu Bao say: "Sanlang, it doesn't matter what you said to Uncle Shi."
He immediately turned to Yunxi and said, "Uncle Shi, Sanlang is here to choose a gift for Erlang."
"Brother Zhu Bao!" Before he could finish his sentence, Wen Qi wanted to interrupt.
"Yesterday when Uncle Shi was having dinner, he mentioned the birthday of the eldest sister of the Lan family and prepared a gift for her. Sanlang became interested and also prepared a gift for the eldest sister of the Lan family. This time he went out and went to a store
I bought a lot of knickknacks and prepared them for her; then I remembered that the Chinese New Year was coming soon. In previous years, people in each house would give things to Uncle Shi. If he gave them something, he would also give things to Uncle Shi, you and your aunt, brothers and sisters.
Give me some gifts."
"Sanlang thought that Erlang liked reading, so he came to the bookstore first and picked out a book he had never seen before to give to him."
"Is this true? Is what he said true?" After hearing this, Yunxi asked Wenqi in disbelief.
"Yes, dad." Wen Qi was a little unhappy and said with a frown: "My son is nine years old this year and will be ten years old after the New Year. Although he is not an adult yet, I heard from the elderly at home that some uncles were twelve years old.
A crowning ceremony will be held at the age of ten, and he will live alone when he grows up. My son will be ten years old next year, and he will not be far away from becoming an adult."
"So the son wants to do things like uncles and uncles. Since they prepare gifts for his father every year, the son also prepares gifts for his father, mother, aunts, brothers and sisters."
At this point, he said angrily: "I originally wanted to buy it secretly and give you a surprise when I get home. I have already made an agreement with my servants not to tell my family in advance, but I was still discovered.
Already."
"Hello," Yunxi picked him up and held him in his arms, not knowing what to say. Since he came to this life, many happy things have happened, and many things can make him laugh, but this time
It was the third happiest moment in his life, second only to the title of the crown prince, and the moment he learned about Min'er's birth.
Yunxi looked at Wenqi's face, as if he had a thousand words to spit out, but he just looked at Wenqi with tender eyes, without saying the last word. After a while, he finally said to Wenqi
Put it down and murmured softly: "My Wenqi is indeed about to grow up." Then he said to him in the softest voice: "Don't worry, your father will definitely not treat your mother, brothers and sisters about the gift you buy.
explain."
"Dad." Wen Qi said a little at a loss. He had only seen Yunxi speak to Siqi and Min'er in this tone, but he had never seen his father speak to him in this tone. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Know what to say and how to respond.
"Just continue to pick books that you think your second brother has never read." Yunxi said again: "Even if you pick the wrong book and pick a book that your second brother has read, he won't be surprised.
your."
"Okay, then my son will continue to choose." Wen Qi agreed and turned around to continue choosing books. He has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he is the son of the queen. His ability to observe words and emotions, and his insight into the world are better than those of his age outside the palace.
The child was still a bit weak and didn't quite understand what Yun Xi's expression meant. The servants around him didn't dare to explain, so they could only continue to pick out books in confusion.
His servant secretly said it was a pity. If Wen Qi had handled it well, it would have deepened his image in Yunxi's mind. But then the servant thought again: 'My brother is the most favored by the officials after the prince.
Prince, this little bit of image improvement is of little use; not to mention that the officials will think that this is completely sincere, which may be better.'
Zhu Bao looked at Wen Qi with some envy. He had also given Zhu Fangyuan a gift, but at that time he was not outside the palace, but inside the palace. There were only three of him, Zhu Fangyuan, and a serving eunuch. Zhu Fangyuan took it.
Although there was warmth in the gift's eyes, it flashed by and he just said a few words. It was not like Yunxi treating his son at all.
Although Uncle Shi was smart and could think what others couldn't think, he was too gentle to his family and was not like a sage monarch. Historically, such emperors often had troubles in the harem when they were old. Fortunately, although Wenqi and the prince were not born from the same mother, they were not born from the same mother.
It's not that far apart, otherwise there will be chaos in the harem in old age.'
'But why do I think this is very good? Even if the harem is in chaos in the future, it will only happen in a few decades. Between the warmth of these decades and the chaos of a few years, which one is more important and which one is less important?'
Yun Xi had no idea what Zhu Xi was thinking. He just looked at Wen Qi's back like this, as if he could never finish it. But at this moment, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the store, carrying the wind.
The room suddenly became much colder. But the man didn't care about it and opened his mouth and said: "Old sir, pick out a copy of the Three Character Classic." (To be continued)
