Raiders, loyal dog

Aunt Liu's silk and satin shop has a good reputation. On the fifth day, Qiao Zhibai took Ling Zixiu to the silk and satin shop on time, and made a special trip to get back the wedding dress that was ordered a few days ago.

The production of wedding dresses in ancient times was very cumbersome, the tailoring of the clothes was second, and the most important thing was the exquisite embroidery on the wedding dresses.Qiao Zhibai took a closer look at the bright red clothes in his hand, and saw that there was a beautiful flower group delicately drawn with gold thread on it, and the embroidery was so exquisite that it was unbelievable.Take a closer look, beside the golden thread, auspicious clouds are embroidered with dark red thread as an embellishment.

Although the dark red embroidered pattern was completely overwhelmed by the original red color of Yunjin at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was extremely delicate, which made the whole wedding dress look more luxurious and extraordinary.

Qiao Zhibai bent the corners of his lips, expressing his satisfaction.

Aunt Liu was not in the store that day, and the clerk who was in charge of the store watched Qiao Zhibai's expression and knew that he was satisfied, so he immediately smiled and said, "Girls in the city who are a little dexterous are most likely born in childhood I started to prepare my own wedding dress, and it took a lot of effort. This time, we also used a few embroiderers in the embroidery village, and we were in a hurry. It was only late last night. Besides, the fabric you chose this time is the most expensive brocade. If the embroidery sample is slightly inferior, the specification will be lowered. We, Aunt Liu, have spent a whole night for your embroidery sample before finalizing it. Yes. After all, you can’t ruin the store’s reputation, can you?”

Qiao Zhibai listened to the man's words, gave him a half-smile look, and said, "Come on, don't show your merits to me. I can make this clothes out in such a short period of time. Of course I know your hard work." Don’t worry, you won’t be short of a penny of your reward.” Then, he took out the bank note that he had prepared in advance, and handed it directly to the shop assistant, “The clothes are very well made, I think my girl also I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Here's the money, and I'll take the clothes with me."

The clerk took the silver ticket, glanced at the value on it, quickly put it away, and saw off the customer with a smile: "Guests, let's go, we still have customers in our store, so we won't give away the small ones!"

Qiao Zhibai waved his hand, picked up the package containing the clothes, and then pulled Ling Zixiu out of the silk and satin shop.

The three-day rally has passed, and the crowds on the street have dispersed a lot.The sun is just right, and there is a lazy feeling when it shines on people.

Ling Zixiu secretly glanced at the package in Qiao Zhibai's hand, then at Qiao Zhibai who had a slight smile on his face, and then lowered his eyelashes slightly, hiding the trace of irreversible worry in his eyes.

"Do you still want to eat candied haws?" Seeing the old man selling candied haws, Qiao Zhibai subconsciously asked Ling Zixiu, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear a response. When he turned his head, he found the little guy standing beside him He was lowering his head and pursing his lips tightly, looking like he was wandering into space.

Qiao Zhibai pressed Ling Zixiu's little head with one hand helplessly: "I said, why do you go in a daze every time you go shopping? Can you sneak away even if you walk well?"

Ling Zixiu was pulled back from his thoughts by Qiao Zhibai's words, blinked and looked at the candied haws stand not far away, and quickly smiled: "Okay, okay, I ate it last time, and I have been thinking about it for a long time. "

Qiao Zhibai keenly sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with Ling Zixiu's emotions, but after careful consideration, he didn't find anything wrong. He looked carefully at the innocent and cute smiling face of the little guy, and after thinking about it, he still felt that maybe he was thinking wrong up.

Ignoring the subtle delusion in his heart, Qiao Zhibai smiled and said, "Since you want to eat, why didn't you say so earlier?" Then, he took the money and bought a bunch of them back, stuffed them into Ling Zixiu's hand, and then pulled him With the other hand, continue to walk forward, "However, even if you like it, don't eat too much. After all, it is sweet food. If you eat too much, your teeth will be eaten away by worms."

"Bug? What kind of bug?" Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai in surprise, "Are there still bugs growing in the teeth? Why do they grow? Did the bugs in the food get into the mouth?"

Since he couldn't explain to Ling Zixiu what bacteria and plaque were, Qiao Zhibai looked at the sky, nodded forcefully, and said, "Yes, that's it."

Ling Zixiu was frightened, and he was a little confused: "Then I'd better not eat this candied haws."

Qiao Zhibai coughed lightly, and hurriedly remedied: "Well, it doesn't matter if you eat a bunch, there are no bugs in this one."

"How does brother know?" Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai suspiciously.

"Well, this..." Qiao Zhibai looked up at the sky again, and said seriously, "Intuition."

After Ling Zixiu was silent for a while, he asked with difficulty: "So brother lied to me just now, right?"

...was discovered.

"But Xiaoxiu is seven years old, so he should be changing his teeth soon, right?" Qiao Zhibai glanced sideways at Ling Zixiu, and suddenly laughed, "In this way, even if the teeth are eaten by moths, it doesn't matter, and they will be replaced soon anyway. .”

Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai with a smirk with his watery eyes.

It's just a pity that he probably won't be able to see the cute appearance of Xiaoxiu changing his teeth.Qiao Zhibai suddenly felt a little sad.He still remembers that when he changed his teeth back then, he kept his words out of the way, and would be laughed at by the older children around his house who had their teeth changed, so that he didn't dare to say a word in front of outsiders in those days.

Forget the past.

Qiao Zhibai sighed silently in his heart, and then looked at Ling Zixiu even more sadly: This kid doesn't talk much, what if he really turns into a boring gourd when he is about to change his teeth?

Afterwards, he took another look at Ling Zixiu's white and tender face, and said "uh": It doesn't matter, his child is so cute, even if he is a dull gourd, he is also the cutest No. [-] dull gourd.

On the way to the inn with Ling Zixiu, the two passed by a private school by chance.The private school was not over yet, and the intermittent sound of children reading could be faintly heard.

Qiao Zhibai stood curiously and looked outside the private school, and was about to say something to Ling Zixiu, when he lowered his head, he found that Ling Zixiu was also slightly stretching his head, through the open gate, secretly looking into the small courtyard inside. aim.

Qiao Zhibai touched Ling Zixiu's head, smiled lightly, and asked, "Xiaoxiu, do you want to study?"

"Reading?" Ling Zixiu repeated, but he didn't answer directly, he just asked in a ignorant manner, "What's the use of reading?"

Hearing Ling Zixiu's question, Qiao Zhibai instinctively opened his mouth and wanted to say, "You can take the No. [-] examination and become a high official", but he paused for a while, and thought carefully for a while, because he didn't know much about the current dynasties on this continent. Customs and habits, so he had no choice but to swallow the words welling up in his throat.

After all, even in ancient China, the imperial examination was only implemented in the Sui Dynasty.If the current dynasty still adopts the inspection system, or even adopts the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, there will be no necessary connection between studying and being an official.

After thinking and thinking, Qiao Zhibai could only answer sincerely: "Reading can make people understand reason and shame."

Ling Zixiu gave an "oh" half-understanding, and asked, "Can studying make money?"

Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu who suddenly turned into Qian Chuanzi in confusion, and said, "You can apply the principles you have learned from studying to your life, and then gain experience through practical operations, and then you can make money."

Ling Zixiu said: "But, don't you have to practice it yourself? You can't make money just by studying blindly, right? And I see that not everyone in the shop owners has read the book."

Qiao Zhibai felt that what Ling Zixiu said was not quite right, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, so he hesitated for a while, and could only nod his head.

Ling Zixiu pulled Qiao Zhibai forward and continued to walk forward, eating candied haws in his mouth, and his voice sounded vague: "Then I won't study."

Qiao Zhibai, as a good young man in the 21st century who has been rotated over and over again by preschool classes, interest classes, and key universities in primary and middle schools, he said that he understands Ling Zixiu's child's weariness of learning, but no matter how he understands it in his heart, it is for Ling Zixiu's future. Considering the future of the book, I still have to say something: "Xiaoxiu, you can't say that, isn't there a saying that 'the book has its own golden house'? There is no harm in being able to read and write."

Ling Zixiu said indifferently: "But, in that case, not only will it cost money to hire a master, but it will also waste a lot of time."

Qiao Zhibai stroked his forehead helplessly, and was about to say a few more words, but saw Ling Zixiu suddenly turn his head, with an innocent smile on his face, and a pair of eyes sparkling with a dazzling brilliance: "Besides, I Didn't I already make an agreement with my brother, I will work hard to make money to support my brother in the future."

"I don't want my brother to wait too long." Ling Zixiu said with a light smile.

Because I always feel that my brother seems to be leaving me soon.I want my brother to know that I am actually a useful person. I will work hard to make money, earn a lot of money, and I can also buy a lot of beautiful clothes for my brother, and let my brother eat a lot of delicious food.I will work very hard to raise my brother.

So, brother, don't leave me behind, okay?

"Hey, you brat." Qiao Zhibai couldn't figure out what the sour and sweet feeling in his heart was at this moment. Looking at Ling Zixiu's face, it was the first time Qiao Zhibai felt it so clearly. I realized that perhaps my departure after 20 days would be a big blow to this child.

But at this moment, he couldn't tell Ling Zixiu anything.

"Well, then I'll wait for Xiaoxiu to earn a lot of money to support my brother." Qiao Zhibai pinched Ling Zixiu's cheeks and responded with a smile.
