The peasant boy of crossing

Li Xinyi made a gift list for herself, which listed gifts for Grandpa Wu, Wu Can, Mother Li and others.For this gift list, he really spent a long time thinking about it, it was even more brain-intensive than what to draw.

Grandpa Wu is old, experienced, has a wife and son, and is not short of money.It's best to buy some Chuzhou specialties, especially medicinal materials and leather jackets, and prepare a copy for Mother Li.

Li Xinyi has been in Chuzhou for a long time. Although Li's mother is in good health, Grandpa Wu will take care of her in passing the news and taking care of her in a timely manner.This love must be remembered, so the gift must be generous.

Grandpa Wu is getting old, and Eldest Brother Angus is away from home all year round. He has to rely on Wu Shen for many things. Therefore, gifts from Erkor Angkor must be real and practical, such as inkstones or brush washers, and ornaments that are valued by literati and refined scholars. It's not very suitable, it's better to have specialty food, I don't know if there are any snacks that can be brought back to Jingning, go to Zhuangyuan Building and ask.

The gift for Li's mother must be affordable, otherwise it will be expensive, and Li's mother will feel distressed, then the money will be wasted.It's enough to spend money on stupid things that are distressing, and it's enough to do it once. Why don't you buy a cookbook and let your mother try your own craft.

The key is that I can't stay outside for too long. Mother Li looks like a 50-year-old grandma even though she is in her late forties. Thinking of her mother who took good care of her in her previous life, Mother Li feels distressed and has to buy some skin care products ah.

And Wu Su, Li Xinyi wanted to buy a lot of things for him.It's just that those who have no name or distinction can only think about it.

So, what should I choose as a gift for Wu Su?

Speaking of what Wu Su likes, Li Xinyi really doesn't know.When grazing cattle, I was poor and had nothing to buy, so I picked mulberries and wild raspberries, whether they were marinated with sugar or washed and eaten directly, they all had a unique flavor.

Wu Su is a fool, he has been given what he has since he was a child, and he never talks about what he wants.This idiot gave a colorful clay sculpture of "the shepherd boy riding a bull" last time. Should he buy a clay sculpture and wood sculpture?

Since he wanted to buy a gift, he had to prepare a copy for Zhao Yuanwei, the steward and magistrate of Moquan Pavilion.After all, he was going back to Jingning for the New Year, and if they came to visit him during the Spring Festival, it would be too impolite for him to leave Chuzhou without saying a word.

Li Xinyi looked at the gift list she wanted to list out, as if seeing the money she had saved for more than half a year flying away with wings, her mood was really complicated.

The twelfth lunar month is half a month away, and the end of the new year is approaching, and Li Xinyi dare not delay.In addition to painting, the whole day is shopping for gifts.

Chuzhou is already very prosperous, there are often vendors hawking in the market, and there are all kinds of shops in the market.But like many boys, Li Xinyi also feels that shopping is very painful.Especially when you don't like what you sell, you can't buy what you want, and you spend so much time, but you get nothing.

The world is not very friendly to teenagers who are used to online shopping.

Medicinal materials and leather jackets are a very special category of commodities.If you don't know the goods and are not familiar with the pricing, you may not only buy fake products, but also be cheated.Li Xinyi stood at the entrance of the shop, and the shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the goods to him, and asked him in detail what he needed.Couldn't be more thoughtful.

However, Li Xinyi slipped away timidly.

He felt that he really lacked a certain kind of aura, and he looked particularly easy to be bullied, so he almost stamped "If you don't bully, you will lose" on your face.

If you don't know the manager of Moquan Pavilion, you can only admit your losses, or do your homework to prevent losses in advance.But now that I know this "walking sharp eye", it would be a real loss not to ask him for advice.

So why does Li Xinyi have such a big face to invite the steward of Moquan Pavilion to be a "shopping guide"?There is also a reason for this.

The manager of Moquan Pavilion is surnamed Liu Minghui. He is thirty-six this year, has a wife and a son, and has no concubines.This person has been in Moquan Pavilion for more than ten years, and his professional ethics must be very high. It is not within the scope of acquiescence, and he will not develop "extraordinary friendship" with customers.

Guanshi Liu is in charge of the calligraphy and painting business in this state capital for the magistrate, which is equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of the literati in the state capital.The literati are poor, and they have no ancestral property and no production. How can they support their wives, daughters, and elders?This calligraphy and painting is indispensable to sell.It can be seen that Guanshi Liu has this unique face.

Even if someone was eager to stuff Guanshi Liu's sleeve with money, he would still take what should be collected and not take half of what should not be collected.When I see you next time, it will still be a matter of saving face.

So Li Xinyi and Liu Guanshi can develop a "super ordinary friendship", that is a fate that God can't stop.

The thing about "fate" is like this.

In Chuzhou there is a family surnamed Wang who is in the rice business.There is a daughter who is quite stunning in appearance, but unfortunately her emotional intelligence is not enough and she is stubborn.When this lady Wang was a girl, she was severely restrained by her family, but after she got married, she was extremely pungent.Not only did she have nothing to do for two years, but she also desperately suppressed the concubine, making her husband's house a mess.

Her husband's family was only in the cloth business, so there was no room for this god of plague.At home, the mother-in-law cried or the daughter-in-law made noise all day long. Fortunately, the husband's family finally lost some money and promised not to take back the bride price. Mrs. Wang finally returned to her natal family with the dowry.

But the girl's reputation is fragile after all, plus there are always good people who like to inquire about other people's affairs, and everyone knows about Mrs. Wang's little things that are not worth mentioning to outsiders, but if you ask casually, there will still be people Can't wait to say that.

Although Chuzhou is prosperous, not every single man can get a wife.There is such a skinny rascal, seeing the color of Mrs. Wang, not only itches in the heart, but also itches in the middle of the night.Because I dreamed of Mrs. Wang every night, I actually had a dream during the day.When he saw Mrs. Wang, he was eager and eager, talking nonsense, as if begging his wife who didn't come home at night to go home.

Even though Mrs. Wang has a bad reputation, she is still the daughter of a decent family.To get married, three matchmakers and six hires are required, so how can I pay attention to this rascal.Immediately let the attendants kick it out, the tortoise can't eat the meat of the swan, this is the eternal saying.

On this day, a dandy from the capital city begged to hire someone from all over the state to do something, and he saw such a good scene where a scoundrel entangled a girl and was kicked out.He was actually very interested in Mrs. Wang.

When he saw this woman being entangled by hooligans, he thought it was not a decent girl.Because the sky was high and the emperor was far away, someone stopped Mrs. Wang, but she showed a face of "hero saving the beauty" on her face.

The folk customs in Chuzhou are quite simple, and it was the first time that the people saw the "bully robbing the women" outside the play, and they all stopped, feeling very surprised.Because this dandy is full of style, Mrs. Wang is sitting in the sedan chair again, and the onlookers don't know the identity of the dandy, so they dare not rush forward to stop him.

Except Liu Guanshi.

Liu Guanshi had just met this dude a few days ago, and this man came all the way to the prefectures from all over the country to ask to see the prefect Zhao.Zhao Zhifu refused to see him, and this person found Liu Guanshi again, hoping to get his introduction, but he was really dazed.

Zhao Zhifu sent someone to leave a message to Liu Guanshi: "This man has a beastly face and no brains. Take what he gives you, and don't take him to heart."

Therefore, Guanshi Liu couldn't believe it. Something happened to this man's family, not to mention worrying, but he was still interested in robbing civilian women.

Immediately, he stood up and said, "Say hello to Young Master Qi." After saying that, he made a bow and said, "Moquan Pavilion has a new painting, and there are a few people cheering on it. I wonder if Young Master Qi has a sense of elegance?"

When Young Master Qi saw Guanshi Liu, he was even more excited than before, and a look of madness appeared on his face.

Liu Guanshi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.There is still reason to talk to normal people, but if you provoke a lunatic, it is really harder than riding a tiger.

Ever since Young Master Qi entered Moquan Pavilion, he would never go out again unless he saw Zhao Yuanwei.

Guanshi Liu was wary, he was afraid that the calligraphy and paintings in Moquan Pavilion would suffer, and he was also afraid that Zhifu Zhao would feel that he was incapable of doing things, so he was so regretful that he cut this young master into pieces and fed them to the dogs in his heart .

Coincidentally, Li Xinyi came to Moquan Pavilion to deliver paintings on this day.

As long as it's not Young Master Qi, Guanshi Liu looks like a relative to everyone now, when he saw Li Xinyi, he was about to fly up to him, which startled Li Xinyi.

"Liu Guanshi, what's the matter?" Li Xinyi took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Liu Guanshi.

Liu Guanshi then said this and that, and finally said: "And what can I do?"

It can be seen that I am really worried.

Li Xinyi gave him an idea: "You just need to say that Zhifu Zhao has ordered a table of wine and food in the Zhuangyuan Building, and it will be fine if it is overdue."

Liu Guanshi couldn't believe it: "Is this possible?"

Li Xinyi said: "If you can do it, you will know if you try it. You just have to pretend that such a thing really happened."

Young Master Qi didn't believe it at first, but Guanshi Liu made an angry and anxious expression, and said there was a hot pot, so he began to doubt it.

In fact, it was late autumn at this time, and the wind was already blowing outside, and it might rain at night.

Master Qi finally went. There was indeed a table of wine and food in the Zhuangyuan Building, but Zhao Yuanwei was really not there either.

Liu Guanshi asked: "How do you know that he will definitely go?"

Li Xinyi said: "The temperature varies greatly these days, it's hot in the middle of the day and cold in the evening. Young Master Qi is already shivering from the cold, why can't a table of hot food and wine attract him?"

After going back and forth, Liu Hui felt that Li Xinyi was worth making friends with, and only then did he have a "friendship beyond the ordinary".

Guanshi Liu obviously knows more about the world than Li Xinyi.Whatever Li Xinyi wanted, Guanshi Liu could take him to the corresponding place.When those people saw Guanshi Liu, they didn't dare to fool him with such things.In less than a day, everything I wanted to buy was bought.

Li Xinyi finally decided to buy a pair of jade pendants, "Double Fish Playing Beads", which can be disassembled or closed, and the other half will be given to Wu Su as a thought.

When checking out, he also bought a Tiangou Shiyue decoration, because Guan Liu is Xiaogou.The material of this ornament is not good, it is just ordinary Hetian jade, what is rare is that the carving is really exquisite.

In fact, it was already over budget, but Li Xinyi was ruthless and bought it anyway.

In the coming year, I will try to create large-scale paintings, and I don't know if I can succeed. It is necessary to please Liu Guanshi, as well as Zhao Yuanwei.

In this way, the painting for Zhao Yuanwei should be more refined.
