Go to ancient times to catch fast

On this day, Chu Xiaoyun went to a rouge workshop in the county to pick up Su Wen, just like the previous two days.Ever since he found out that someone was following him on the road, when he came back from business this time, he couldn't rest assured that Su Wen was alone at home.Remembering that when he was patrolling the streets before, he saw a rouge workshop next to the Drum Tower recruiting apprentices, so he temporarily sent Su Wen to avoid the limelight.

The Drum Tower is the watch tower for the county government guards, and you can clearly see any disturbances around the Drum Tower.Chu Xiaoyun felt that it was a safe place.

When Chu Xiaoyun appeared in the eye cream workshop, the female shopkeeper of the rouge workshop looked at Chu Xiaoyun who had changed into a new outfit, and was briefly surprised, and a warm smile burst out on her face: "Master Chu, ouch, Is this Sheng Butou? Oh, the material of this outfit is really more suitable for our Chu Butou. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Then he turned to Su Wen and said, "Oh, I'll just say it. When we first met, I thought that our Su Wen looks like a blessed person. You see, this kind of blessing is not something ordinary people can have! "

Chu Xiaoyun smiled when he heard the words: "Thank you for your kind words, shopkeeper, Wenwen is here to help you."

"Where is it, Su Wen is born with intelligence, and the craftsmanship of making rouge and gouache is better than that of many clever girls here." The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

Su Wen packed up his tools and said goodbye to the shopkeeper of Rouge Workshop.Chu Xiaoyun helped Su Wen across the threshold.

The Qiao girls in the workshop cast envious eyes when they saw this scene.The shopkeeper saw the person walking away, and said to Qiao Niang in the workshop: "Don't look, you can't see their blessings. If you envy Su Wen, you have to grow up like that. Work hard, the rouge shop is still waiting." delivery."

Qiao Niang turned her head and began to get busy with her hands, but she talked about why Chu Xiaoyun became an arrester of the Hejing County Government, Su Wen, a twin whose parents both died, unexpectedly had such a good life, and found a good husband .By the way, he wentssiped about the whole case, and talked about how Chu Xiaoyun got promoted.

On the way, Su Wen kept sneaking glances at Chu Xiaoyun.Chu Xiaoyun, who had changed into a hair-hunting soap suit, looked more imposing. Su Wen, who originally thought her husband was handsome and extraordinary, now felt that his image was a bit taller.Husband is the best husband in the world, Su Wen's heart bumps like a deer, and his little face unknowingly blush.

When he took another sneak peek, he was caught by Chu Xiaoyun who had been pretending not to know: "Wenwen, is your husband good-looking?"

Su Wen didn't expect that Chu Xiaoyun deliberately teased him on the road. The white jade face that was originally stained with red clouds suddenly turned into a bright red strawberry.

At this time, he had already left the city gate, and the pedestrians on the road gradually became scarce.Chu Xiaoyun pulled Su Wen's hand and held it in his palm, and put it next to Su Wen's ear: "Wenwen, let's get married."

At the beginning, he didn't receive the marriage contract directly because he felt that Su Wen was not old enough. A few days ago, Su Wen turned eighteen, and now it's time to get married.

Su Wen raised his head in shock when he heard this, and bumped into Chu Xiaoyun's chin who was keeping his head down.Su Wen, who was so embarrassed, suddenly forgot his shyness, and stretched out his hand to touch Chu Xiaoyun's chin in a panic: "Husband, does it hurt? Did I hit your chin? Did you hit your tooth?"

However, Chu Xiaoyun hugged Su Wen in his arms and murmured in a low voice: "Husband has been calling you for so long, Wen Wen, shall we get married? You haven't answered me yet."

Su Wen's panic was overwhelmed by shyness again, and the blush that had faded due to panic surged again, his small cherry mouth was shocked by the sudden good news, and he didn't know what to say, but Zhang Hezuo didn't hear it.

Looking at the alluring red lips in front of him, Chu Xiaoyun lowered his head and took a sip. Su Wen was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Only when Chu Xiaoyun's masculine breath left, did he happily and shyly answer: "Okay."

Chu Xiaoyun excitedly picked up Su Wen and twirled around twice, making Su Wen tremble in fright: "People will see it."

Chu Xiaoyun said: "What's wrong with hugging my husband? Go back and hug my daughter-in-law with envy and hatred."

Su Wen lowered his head and smiled when he heard this.

The two discussed the date of marriage while walking, and the county magistrate said that he could start taking a bath from the day after tomorrow, and go back tomorrow to explain his official duties.Although I have prepared some things for the wedding before, there are still a lot of odd things and wedding supplies to buy.Chu Xiaoyun hoped that the wedding would be scheduled for about ten days later, so that he would have time to make full preparations.He wanted to give Su Wen a warm and lively wedding.

The court stipulates that officials have seven days of marriage leave, and government officials have five days.This time he was successful in solving the case, and the county magistrate rewarded him for two more days, and he had the same length of vacation as the officials.The wedding takes one day, and after the wedding, I must be thinking about two days.Calculated in this way, he can only take a bath four days before the wedding.Then continue to work for a few days, first to get familiar with the new headhunting position, and second, to take advantage of the time after the release of the government to prepare wedding supplies.

The two decided on the process, and the rest was to go back to find Wang Sanqiang's old lady, ask her to be a matchmaker, and then ask her to find someone to watch on a good day.

After the wedding was settled, Chu Xiaoyun thought about Su Wen's apprenticeship in Yanzhifang these days: "Wenwen, are you tired in Yanzhifang?"

Su Wen shook his head neatly: "Not tired."

Instead, he sighed: "The work is not tiring, but what they make is rouge with a common color in the market, and they can't learn any new skills. There are some rouges in the workshop to make ancient books, but the owner of the workshop said that the raw materials for those rouges are rare, and the production process is too complicated. It’s fine, and I’m not familiar with the production, so it’s not worth the loss. I want to see it myself, in case I need it in the future. Unfortunately, literacy is limited, and many characters in ancient books cannot be read.”

Chu Xiaoyun grabbed Su Wen's wrist and comforted him, "I'll find a way."

Thinking back to the books he found in the bookstores of this era when he first arrived, Chu Xiaoyun sighed in particular. He was a graduate student majoring in criminal investigation in modern times. people.

Su Wen smiled: "I'll just say it casually, you don't have to take it to heart."

The two walked and chatted, turned around the corner in front of Wang Sanqiang's house, and saw two figures standing outside the gate of the yard from a distance.Chu Xiaoyun, who was already tense because of the stalking incident, suddenly became nervous when he saw this scene.He pressed the saber on his waist, and hid Su Wen behind him: "Wenwen, you go hide behind that haystack first, and don't make a sound. If anything goes wrong, you should quickly dig a hole in the grass." Dong hides himself, must wait until there is no one else, and then find a way to leave here. Then live well."

Su Wen was immediately confused by what Chu Xiaoyun said, and tears came down: "No, I will never leave my husband. We want to be together, no matter what happens. If there is anything wrong with you, I don't want to be alone alive."

Chu Xiaoyun dragged Su Wen to the haystack, and wiped his tears for Su Wen: "Don't think about it, I haven't married you yet, and I haven't become the groom's official yet, so what will happen. I'm just going to see if it is Whoever comes to visit our house, you follow me, and I have to take care of you."

As he said that, he grabbed the haystack and pulled it hard twice, pulled out a hole, and stuffed Su Wen in: "Be obedient, I will come as soon as I go."

After speaking, he put the torn grass out of the hole.

Chu Xiaoyun walked forward holding his saber, only to find that standing at the gate of the courtyard was an older man in a long gown and a young man in a short brown shirt holding a box.The man in the long gown had a bookish look from his back, and the two looked like a master and a servant.This doesn't look like a killer, or even someone with martial arts.Chu Xiaoyun's heart slowly eased back, he stepped forward quickly, and said to the two of them: "You two come to my humble house, what can I do for you?"

Although he has a new judgment on the identities of the two, his inner vigilance has not relaxed, and his defensive posture of holding the saber with his right hand has not changed.

The two people standing at the door turned around, and the man in the long coat turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Hurry up, Duan Chengyang, the shopkeeper of Xiazhihe Bookstore. Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit today."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Xiaoyun with eyes full of joy, only to find that Chu Xiaoyun's clothes had been changed.After being stunned for a moment, he hastily cupped his hands again: "Congratulations to Chu Butou for his promotion."

It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Zhihe Bookstore.It was only when the other party turned around that Chu Xiaoyun saw who was coming.I have to say that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. If it weren't for his face recognition ability, he wouldn't dare to compare the middle-aged man in front of him in a long gown with literati style with the prisoner in court yesterday. Convinced, with a shrunken look to be released together.

"So it's the shopkeeper Duan of Zhihe Bookstore. It's been a long time." Chu Xiaoyun opened the courtyard door as he said, "Please come inside. Please wait a moment, I'll go and get my little husband out."

After speaking, without waiting for Duan Chengyang's response, he ran towards the haystack.

Duan's master and servant who were full of doubts were left behind.

Soon, Duan's master and servant standing in the courtyard saw Chu Tutou pulling his little husband with grass on his head into the courtyard.After the two parties met the ceremony, Su Wen went to the kitchen to cook, Chu Xiaoyun welcomed the guests to the main room, made tea and said, "I don't know what the shopkeeper Duan is talking about coming to the humble house?"

Duan Chengyang got up and said: "Duan came here this time to thank the head catcher Chu for saving his life. You not only saved my life, but also the lives of my family; you also saved the lives of several people in my store. A guy's family. Please be respected by Duan Mou!"

After finishing speaking, the master and servant bowed to Chu Xiaoyun.

Chu Xiaoyun hurriedly got up to stop Duan Chengyang's further salutation after hearing the words: "The shopkeeper Duan is serious. You are innocent in the first place, and it is only right for the law to return your innocence. Chu just did his duty."

Duan Chengyang signaled the servant to bring the gift box to Chu Xiaoyun and open it, and put it on the table next to it. A white plate of silver came out of the box, at least 100 taels.But Duan Chengyang said: "I have nothing to repay, I can only prepare a little gift, and I hope that the Chu arrester will not refuse."

Chu Xiaoyun was dumbfounded when he saw the box of silver, but he didn't expect Duan Chengyang to do this.He hurriedly covered the box and pushed it to Duan Chengyang's side: "The shopkeeper Duan took it with his heart, I can't accept this thing."

Duan Chengyang said anxiously: "Chu Butou, you have saved my family, your kindness is as great as a mountain, but the next businessman will have nothing to repay. I know that these vulgar things defile you, but there is really no other way to repay you. You just Accept it, it will make me feel better."

Chu Xiaoyun shook his head: "Master Duan, do you still remember how you were imprisoned? Isn't it just that the yamen officials accept bribes and enforce the law unfairly? If I take your money today, I will be with the person who wronged you and imprisoned that day." What's the difference? If I accept yours today, will I not accept other people's in the future? Shopkeeper Duan is a well-educated person, so he must be able to understand the truth of this."

When Duan Chengyang heard the words, a look of shame appeared on his face: "It was Duan who took the liberty. But if you don't repay your life-saving grace, how is it different from a beast? It's just that the money I can give is the money, and there is really no way to repay..."

Chu Xiaoyun remembered that when he was investigating the case before, he knew that Duan Chengyang had bought the courtyard facing the street, and there were bookstores in the houses facing the street, but a private school opened in the backyard.The bookstore is usually run by a buddy, and I am mainly responsible for the teaching of the private school.No wonder he looks so bookish.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun asked: "The shopkeeper Duan has mentioned this, and I will not refuse. Can the shopkeeper Duan help me next time?"

"Captain Chu, hurry up and order, as long as Duan is within his ability, he will go through fire and water!" Hearing that Chu Xiaoyun asked for help, Duan Chengyang suddenly regained his spirits.

"My husband wants to be literate. I heard that shopkeeper Duan opened a private school in the backyard. I wonder if he can be admitted?" Chu Xiaoyun said his wish.

Duan Chengyang was silent when he heard this question, and he said after a long while: "Captain Chu, it's not that I don't accept him. The court has an order that women and Shuang'er cannot go to school or be officials. If I accept him, it will violate the court's law. ..."

Chu Xiaoyun knew that women in ancient times could not go to school, otherwise there would be a sad story of Zhu Yingtai disguised as a man and mixed into a private school.But he didn't expect that in this superficial era, not only women can't go to school, but also twins can't.The memory left to him by the original owner was damaged, causing him not to know this situation.

It's no wonder that Su Wen didn't mention the private school before.In this era, women and twins, if they want to know how to read and write, apart from inheriting family traditions, they can only hire private teachers.But obviously, Chu Xiaoyun's current economic situation does not allow him to hire a private husband.

Chu Xiaoyun hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper Duan, it's because I didn't think carefully, and I didn't think of the imperial court's regulations for a while."

Duan Chengyang said anxiously: "Chu Butou, you think about it again, there is another thing. As long as it is permitted by the court's law, I will never shirk it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Xiaoyun eagerly.

Chu Xiaoyun understood this person's psychology, as if he would not feel at ease if he went out without giving something back.He remembered that he had promised to find a stable job for Wang Sanqiang.Wang Sanqiang is now doing odd jobs in that tile workshop. He can only work when others are too busy. The money is less and the work is much harder, and there is no guarantee of regular work.Duan Chengyang is a businessman in the county, so he must have some information about this, so ask him to find a job for Wang Sanqiang, so that he can settle his concerns.

"Okay, then I'll make another promise. I have a brother who wants to find a stable job, but he can't read a few big characters and only has strength. Shopkeeper Duan has a wide network of contacts. I wonder if there is any recommendation in this regard? "Chu Xiaoyun said.

Duan Chengyang had a happy smile on his face when he heard the words: "This is easy to handle, this is easy to handle. I know the owner of a paper workshop. He asked me to keep an eye on the candidate. I will tell him later that I will give you an answer when I get in touch."

After sending Duan Chengyang's master and servant away, Chu Xiaoyun heaved a sigh of relief.Although the matter of Su Wen's literacy has not yet been settled, Wang Sanqiang's livelihood problem can be solved.This can be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes, and it can also help Wang Sanqiang to stand on his own and stabilize himself.
