Vicissitudes know Jinhua

Mu Zishi could see the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but feel lost, and said lightly: "What can you teach me? How can I eat more and eat faster? Or stretch out your arms and legs and pretend to be a living monkey?"

Qi Shaochong was used to being spoiled by him, he was a little worried about having too many debts, not worrying about having too many lice, not itching, not scolding for a day, so he panicked, touched his ears, and said to himself: "The son of an official who is a bandit is called Ge Shu Yepo?"

Mu Zishi nodded and said, "Do you also feel weird?"

Qi Shaochong said: "His surname is Ge Shu, does he really have alien blood?"

Mu Zishi has read a lot of history, and he can recite it with a glance. He said slowly: "The surname Geshu comes from the Geshu tribe of ancient Turkic. Fleeing away from the Duomani Lake in Mobei, he encountered the barbarian Yexi tribe. More than half of them were slaughtered, and the survivors trekked thousands of miles to return to Daning. Because the Geshu tribe is known for being brave and good at fighting, young and strong men were included in the army Many of them were rewarded for their outstanding military exploits. These people gradually changed their Han surnames after staying in Daning for a long time. Over the past few decades, there were very few people with the surname Geshu, and none of the officials in the court took this surname. .”

Qi Shaochong swung the longbow in his hand and said, "But he is a son of an official family... Maybe he used an alias?"

Mu Zishi hesitated for a moment: "No, probably not. That man looked very proud, and he didn't bother to hide his head and show his tail, and his eyes were different from ordinary people. He might really be a descendant of the Geshu tribe."

Qi Wushang said: "It seems that he was born to a concubine of a foreign race who was accepted by one of these two prefectures, so he took his mother's surname."

Mu Zishi remained silent, remembering the first words that Ge Shu Yepo uttered when he saw him clearly: "So you are also..."

With a sudden movement in his mind, he felt a little kindness and pity for that dangerous man with beast-like eyes.

Qi Shao approached conflictingly, looked at Mu Zishi's eyes, and asked with childish curiosity, "What color are his eyes? Are they similar to yours?"

Mu Zishi shook his head: "You'll know it when you see it, but Ge Shu Yepo is definitely not a kind person. Remember to be careful. It's better not to know his details than to make him suspicious of us."

Qi Shao rushed back, and the two walked back to Mingwa Building. Because it was still early, Qi Shao rushed to wash his hair in the yard. A maid scooped up hot water with a ladle, and watered his black hair giggling with laughter. There was some soap foam on his face, he stretched out his hand to wipe it off, and the little maid hurriedly took a snow-white towel to wipe it dry for him.

Wan Luan's red-sleeved and bright young man, the sound of water and laughter reflecting the warm spring breeze, willows, flowers and flowers, looks like a Taoyuan in Wuling, but he is so energetic that it makes people upset.

Mu Zishi wanted to read a book for a while, but he always felt restless and irritable, so he simply laid out paper to practice calligraphy.

In recent years, he has become more and more fond of calligraphy and painting. Every time when the flames and ice in his chest are mixed and desolate, he spreads a roll of paper, grinds an inkstone ink, holds a pen and hangs his wrist, his hands and eyes are redundant, and his mind is calm and the dust is cleansed. It is the heavy rain and torrents outside the window, but you can also have a wave of tranquility in your heart.It was as if he was still in the Zhaoxu Hall of the East Palace, but no one would hold his hand from behind and teach him how to act together so that he could start and inherit.

Shao Qi finished rinsing his hair, wrung out the water, and ran upstairs.As usual, when Mu Zishi was reading and practicing calligraphy, he never disturbed him lightly, but today he seemed to have made up his mind not to let Mu Zishi be idle, and while lying on the table, he said with a smile: "What are you writing?"

He was dishonest when he asked, and went straight to the paper, a strand of wet hair slipped from the side of the ear, and the ink was blurred when it fell on it, ruining the words of the beautiful and hidden bones under the moon forest .

For a while, even Qi Shaochong felt it was a pity, and looked at Mu Zishi's face at a loss, but Mu Zishi was not angry, and crumpled the paper into a ball, and said calmly, "What do you want to tell me?"

Qi Shaochong said in a low voice: "Brother, are you still wary of uncle?"

Mu Zishi said without hesitation, "No."

As if afraid of Qi Shaochong's unbelief, he raised his eyes and looked straight at him, his eyes were as clear as the morning dew: "I take care of everything in Yuzhuang with my uncle every day. , how could I guard against him?"

If Qi Shaochong had known him for the first time, he would have been fooled. It's a pity that since the two met, they have been together for nearly ten years, so he was unmoved, and asked: "Is there not? But his words are concerned and caring." When it's time to prepare, you often avoid him intentionally or unintentionally, and sometimes you deliberately lower your head and don't look at him."

Mu Zishi was startled suddenly: "Are you the only one who noticed it? Or did uncle mention it to you?"

Qi Shaochong saw his serious expression, and wondered: "What's wrong? Uncle won't blame you..."

Mu Zishi lowered his voice, and the light in his eyes was cold and serious: "Tell me quickly, what did he tell you... Could he see something?"

Qi Shaochong said: "My uncle told me that you are too thoughtful. Although he loves you most in his heart, you always feel a little alienated from others. Behind Qian Dingxiang's back, you often say that you are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, which probably means you Don't kiss them."

Mu Zishi let out a sigh of relief: "Only these?"

Qi Shaochong nodded: "We have suffered a lot along the way, and it is not surprising that you are too defensive... Uncle is very understanding."

Seeing Mu Zishi still looking thoughtful, he intentionally made him happy, and said with a smile, "There is a little devil named Jiang Cai who practices bow and arrow with me every day. Brother, have I mentioned him to you?"

Mu Zishi glanced at him with disdain: "Jiang Cai is as old as you, he is a brat, what are you?"

Qi Shao rushed for a moment, coughed, and said: "Ah Cai lost to me in archery today, so he asked me very unconvinced, you are from Chenjing, do you know what those high officials in the capital eat?"

Mu Zishi said, "What do you say?"

Qi Shaochong laughed and said, "Of course I don't know, guess what Ah Cai said?"

Mu Zishi said indifferently: "Ah Cai's family is not well-off, his father died early and only a widowed mother does needlework for others, and my uncle is kind-hearted, so he pays a little higher for her embroidery. Ah Cai is young and has If you work hard enough to do some odd jobs, you can survive this day, so don't bully others too much."

Young Master Qi laughed straight at him, and said: "How could I bully him... But Ah Cai is really interesting. He said that he has seen those high-ranking officials in the capital with his own eyes. There are two sugar bowls next to those people's beds, one with white sugar and one with white sugar. The brown sugar is filled to the brim, and before going to bed at night, you have to eat a snow-white steamed bun, if you want to dip it in white sugar, dip it in white sugar, if you want to dip it in brown sugar, dip it in brown sugar, you can dip it vigorously!"

Mu Zishi couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you afraid that the sugar jar will be turned over in the middle of the night?"

Qi Shaochong smiled and said: "He also read a play, you must have never heard of it..."

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "I heard that the emperor is going back to the palace, so the East Palace and the West Palace are too busy. The empress of the East Palace bakes big pancakes, and the empress of the West Palace peels green onions!"

Mu Zishi was startled, then laughed uncontrollably, and put down the brushes he was washing: "It's really not easy for the two ladies of Qi and Feng!"

Qi Shaochong saw him smile, his eyes filled with smoke, green and green, his heart was filled with joy, and he said, "If that's the case, it can be regarded as persuading the agricultural class to set an example for the world?"

Mu Zishi laughed hard, remembering that Qi Hefeng had seen the concubine of Prince Gong's mansion back then, she was the most delicate and rich daughter, a grape had to be peeled by the maid and then dipped in fine salt, half of it could be eaten with a frown It's been an hour, but I don't know what it will look like when she rolls up her sleeves and bakes a pancake in hot sweat?

Fascinated for a long time, Fang said: "Tomorrow when you go to practice gun sticks with the martial artist, bring some steamed buns for Ah Cai."

Qi Shaochong said: "I know, I will bring him a few every now and then."

Mu Zishi glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you give more? Or just give money?"

Qi Shaochong said: "Give kindness to others, don't show it in appearances, and don't need to be deliberately remembered by others... Besides, Ah Cai has a backbone, and he will definitely be able to let his mother live a good life by himself in the future."

Mu Zishi praised with a smile: "In the past, the fourth brother told me the way to win people's hearts. He once said that it is better to bond with kindness and righteousness than to be lured by fame and gain... You really know the truth."

Qi Shaochong opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, feeling rather uncomfortable in his heart.

Mu Zishi also thought that he disliked Ah Cai's young age and humble status, so he persuaded him: "Don't underestimate the people in the market, no matter whether it's chickens and dogs or the three caves of the city, there are uses... If it wasn't for the fourth brother who was kind to the mere Vendor, we have not settled here today."

Qi Shaochong couldn't help but retort: ​​"I was just helping Ah Cai casually, to let their mother and son satisfy their cravings from time to time, and I never wanted him to repay me wholeheartedly..."

The dark eyes are warm and serious: "I am not the fourth brother."

Mu Zishi looked at him with a frown, and suddenly felt that his interest was fading. He lowered his head and silently washed the pen, then folded the remaining paper and put it away.

Every single piece of paper here is bought by Qi Yupei's bloody hands. It is the heaviest but incomparably rich gift, and he must cherish it.Qi Shaochong is naturally not him... How can he deserve him?

Seeing that it was not early, the two of them changed their clothes and went to the front hall to meet Wan Jing, Wan Jing hurried over before they left the yard, bumped into Mu Zishi and Young Master Qi, and said: "You two are well dressed, But Ge Shu Yepo has already left."

Qi Shaochong wondered: "Didn't you want to entertain him with a banquet? How did you leave?"

Wan Jing said: "It is said that there is an urgent matter at home, and the goods and silver have been delivered cleanly."

He looked at Mu Zishi worriedly, and said: "This Mr. Ge Shu, I thought he looked like a character, and I planned to let you make friends with him, but when I went to talk to him just now, I found that this person is not a good match. Yes, he has a violent and vicious temperament, how can he look like a rich man? It's really unheard of!"

Mu Zishi's heart trembled: "What did he do?"

Wan Jing shook his head and sighed. Businessmen pay attention to making money with kindness, and they are most afraid of being beaten and killed: "One of his attendants didn't know what he said wrongly. I just walked into the yard of Songfeng Tower and saw that The tower-like strong man was kicked in the chest by him, and flew straight out of the window, smashed a row of flower pots, rolled and vomited blood, got up but didn't dare to say a word, and went back to stand with his head sullen. Behind him, he seems to be used to it, and the other people don't change their faces, look at this kind of temper and such cruel hands, it's not scary!"

Qi Shaochong didn't take it seriously: "The subordinates are disobedient, and it's enough to punish and reward them. Why bother to do it yourself?"

Mu Zishi hummed, and said suspiciously: "Even Wushang is as unassuming as he is, and rarely teaches others personally... In this way, Ge Shu Yepo really doesn't seem to come from a good family who is pampered."

Qi Shaochong blurted out: "You said his eyes look unusual, could it be that his mother is also a female slave of a foreign race and was raised in an outer room?"

Mu Zishi lowered his eyelashes unconsciously, and said lightly, "It's very possible."

Wan Jing thought for a while, and said: "No matter what his status is, we will not do this alkali business in the future, Yuzhuang is not bad for this business... Especially Zishi, be careful, have you offended him? What Ge Shu Yepo said seemed to mean something unkind to you."

Mu Zishi sneered: "It was he who was rude first!"

Qi Shaochong looked at his expression, thought for no reason that he would slowly poke Chai Ba's eyes blind as if nothing had happened, and when he thought of Chai Ba again, he immediately felt a strong hatred for Ge Shu Yepo, whom he had never met before.

When eating in the evening, except for Wan Zhujia, everyone ate rather absent-mindedly.

Qian Dingxiang took a few mouthfuls of rice, but didn't eat any of the food, and suddenly said: "Master, the day after tomorrow I will go to the city to buy some new fabrics, and Zhuxi Zhujia didn't even make new clothes!"

Wan Jing picked up a chopstick of celery and said, "Well, if you don't have enough money, go to the cashier to pay for it."

Qian Dingxiang frowned: "Let Lao Gao drive me there."

"No!" Wan Jing's face darkened: "It was agreed a few days ago that Shi and Shao Chong will go to various parts of the farm to see the spring plowing in the next day."

Qian Dingxiang pouted, and said: "There are only five carriages in Cuiyuan! Mrs. Niu didn't go out with all her feet? She had to add four horses' feet! Our family's money was piled up into mud, but we didn't take it out. It's just for money! You're just picking and picking with your own wife, and you can't beat the eight-way relatives who hold it in your hands..."

Seeing Wan Jing's expression was not good, she kept talking lower and lower, but couldn't help continuing to chatter: "I don't want to think about who will wash your feet every day to warm your bed? I don't even want to think about who will hold your spirit card and throw the pot to sweep your grave when you go back. Planting willows?"

Hearing what she said was unpleasant, Zhuxi hurriedly said softly: "Mother, are you full? Come back to the room with me, I just cut a skirt, go and see if the color is good."

Qian Dingxiang rarely scolded her daughter to calm down, but stood up: "Master, I'll go down first... Anyway, the lady of the Li family will go to the city the day after tomorrow, so I'll take her car and bring Zhuxi and Zhuxi along." Jia go together."

Wan Zhujia raised his head from the bowl and shouted loudly: "I'm not going with you! I'm going to dig out the bird's nest!"
