Liu Captou wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled sheepishly: "Ah, I ate all this big plate of spring rolls. Sorry, Painter Xiao Wang!"

"Haha, what's this? This is originally made for you to eat. I also ate quite a bit." Wang Yugui laughed.

Liu Captou stood up with a smile and said, "Hey, it's mainly because Auntie's spring rolls are so delicious!"

"Painter Xiao Wang, there are many things at the end of the year. I have to go back to the Yamen. Thank you aunt for me. Let's talk later when we have time!"

"Hey, okay, Mr. Liu, please go slowly." Wang Yugui stood up and saw him off.

As soon as Liu Captou walked out of the store, he suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, Painter Xiao Wang, I almost forgot to tell you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the opposite side: "The house opposite used to cost a hair, but it was bought by Lao Qi's family two days ago!"

Wang Yugui was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Liu Captou, which Lao Qi family is this?"

"It's the old painter Qi's house. He asked Yuan Lu to help him file a complaint with Haizhi County two days ago."

"Haizhi County happened to be interested in making a move, so they sold it to him for fifteen taels of silver!" Liu Captou said.

When Wang Yugui heard that it was the old painter Qi who bought it, he was surprised again: "Old painter Qi? Why did he buy this house? A house with a hair is a haunted house!"

"He probably wants to open a painting shop. Hey, although this house is a haunted house, he will just find a Taoist priest to chant sutras and practice exorcisms to ward off evil spirits. He will use it to open a shop, so he probably won't live here."

"It's been a long time, who still remembers that this is a haunted house! This kind of storefront house, where people come and go every day, has enough yang energy, it can be suppressed," Liu Captou said

After speaking, he looked at Wang Yugui and said: "Painter Xiao Wang, old painter Qi opens a painting shop opposite you, I'm afraid it will be some hindrance to you!"

"My painting style is different from that of Mr. Qi, so there shouldn't be any big conflict." Wang Yugui smiled.

After hearing this, Captain Liu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good!"

"Hey, fifteen taels of silver is actually not very cheap. The house opposite needs to be rebuilt before we can live in it."

"I don't know why the old painter Qi took a fancy to this piece of land!"

After Liu Captou finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Wang Yugui stood in front of the store and stared at the opposite side in a daze for a while.

I was also puzzled: This old painter Qi already has a Qi's painting shop in the east of the city, why would he open another one here?

open a branch? Or is it to challenge me?

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Wang Yugui was stunned when the eldest sister came out with a plate of freshly fried spring rolls in her hand.

Wang Yugui turned around and entered the store, smiling: "Nothing, ah, another plate of spring rolls?"

"Yes, Mom was afraid that you wouldn't have enough to eat, so she asked me to bring out another plate. It was freshly cooked." The eldest sister smiled.

Wang Yugui took the plate of spring rolls and smiled: "Hey, most of the plate of spring rolls was eaten by Liu Captou just now. I haven't eaten enough yet. Just in time, I ate all the plates!"

"How many spring rolls did Mommy make today? Sister, please look at the store for a while and I'll go in and take a look."

As Wang Yugui said this, he walked into the backyard with a plate of spring rolls and ate them.

Mrs. Wang was still busy in the kitchen, and the second sister was sitting in front of the kitchen, eating and lighting the fire.

"Mom, you're still blowing up," Wang Yugui smiled.

Mrs. Wang also smiled: "This is the last pot, how about it, Gui'er, do you think the spring rolls you made are delicious?"

"Hmm, it's delicious. It's quite delicious. Liu Captou ate more than half of the plate just now. Liu Captou also praised you for making it delicious! He also asked me to thank you on his behalf!" Wang Yugui was eating. Talking while talking

The second sister smiled: "Hey, brother, I chose the spinach!"

"Yes, thank you to the eldest and second sisters for helping me, otherwise, my mother wouldn't be able to do so much." Wang laughed.

Wang Yugui said: "Mom, just cook some porridge for noon today. After eating so many spring rolls, there is no need to eat!"

"Yes, Mom, just make porridge. There are also sesame cakes at home," the second sister also said with a smile.

Wang nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you!"

……

In the evening, Wang Yugui went upstairs to his room. Just as he was about to lie down, his mother, Wang, knocked on the door and came in.

Mrs. Wang came to her son's bed, sat down, and said with a mysterious smile: "My dear, I want to tell you something!"

"Mom, what's going on?" Wang Yugui hurriedly sat up straight and looked at his mother with a smile.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Hey, Mom met Aunt Gu on her way to the market today."

"Aunt Gu told me that the girl from the Jin family in the back street is engaged!"

"Ah? Which girl from the Jin family?" Wang Yugui smiled

Mrs. Wang said: "Hey, it's Miss Jin Baochai!"

"Ah? Miss Jin? Who is she engaged to?" Wang Yugui was surprised

Wang said: "I heard from Aunt Gu that she is engaged to Painter Xiao Qi, the youngest son of Painter Lao Qi's family!"

"Ah, Painter Xiao Qi?" Wang Yugui was surprised

He knew Painter Xiao Qi. He seemed pretty good.

But he never expected that Jin Baochai would marry him!

Mrs. Wang sighed again: "Hey, yes, I heard that painter Xiao Qi's wife just died the year before last, and he wants to renew his relationship this year!"

"Ah, painter Xiao Qi turned out to be married?" Wang Yugui was surprised again. He had never inquired about the private affairs of the Qi family.

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes, I heard that his previous wife died giving birth to a child. Hey, there was also a little boy left behind. His grandparents have been taking care of him. He must be more than two years old this year!"

"Ah, painter Xiao Qi has a son?" Wang Yugui was surprised again

I thought to myself, Miss Jin has found a man who is widowed and married for the second time with a baby!

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes, I don't know what Miss Jin is planning!"

"However, Aunt Gu said that the Qi family is quite rich. They have a big painting shop in the east of the city, and Mr. Qi is also a famous painter in the city!"

"Well, yes, mother, the Qi family is not poor. They are also the dedicated painters of Lu's Embroidery Workshop." Wang Yugui smiled

Then he said: "By the way, mother, I haven't told you yet. Across from our house, it turns out that the Mao family's shop was also bought by the old painter Qi's family!"

Wang was surprised when she heard this: "Ah, the Qi family dares to buy a store from the Mao family?"

"Oh, does this old painter Qi have too much money and no place to spend it? That is a haunted house!"

After speaking, he looked at his son: "Gui'er, Miss Jin must also be interested in painter Xiao Qi's family, which has a lot of money!"

"As long as this man is rich and has a good family background, it doesn't matter if his wife dies. There will still be good girls eager to marry him!"

"Mom, that painter Xiao Qi is actually pretty good-looking, and Miss Jin is quite a match for him," Wang Yugui said truthfully.

Mrs. Wang frowned: "Really? No wonder Miss Jin got engaged so quickly!"

"Hey, no wonder, Miss Jin is fifteen this year and has reached the age of marriage."

"She will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, she must be anxious too!"

After saying that, Mrs. Wang looked at her son again: "Guier, look, even Miss Jin is engaged, you should hurry up!"

"Otherwise, this good girl will be picked up by others!"

"Gui'er, Miss Ruan probably hasn't gotten engaged yet. Do you want to consider Miss Ruan?"

"If you want to marry Miss Ruan, mother should find a matchmaker to go to the Ruan family to propose marriage as soon as possible, and settle the marriage as soon as possible to avoid being robbed again!"
