After being kicked out of the house, I was married back

Qi Zhinian squeezed Suiyin tightly, turned around and handed it to Widow Lin: "Auntie, here you are."

Before Widow Lin could fully recover, Qi Zhinian stuffed it into her hands: "These days, thanks to my aunt's care, this money is not enough to express my gratitude, and it is not much. Don't be disgusted with it, Auntie. I will earn more in the future." ,I--"

Widow Lin quickly pushed his hand back: "Silly boy! You earned it yourself! We just steamed a few more buns and gave you a few pieces of tofu! It's all a matter of convenience!"

"Do not."

To them, it may be just a matter of convenience, but the kindness given by the widow Lin and her daughter made him realize that they have not been completely abandoned by this world, and there is always a road between heaven and earth, so he has more opportunities to go on. courage.

Qi Zhinian insisted on stuffing it into her hand.

Widow Lin laughed, her voice was full of emotion: "It is true that you are a stupid child. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the business of writing Spring Festival couplets will only last for two days. Since you have this ability, why don't you take this opportunity to write more for sale?" How much money did you make to buy medicine for your mother?" He patted his arm again, "Even if you really want to thank Auntie and me, you have to spend the past two days before talking about it!"

Qi Zhinian smiled embarrassedly: "Auntie is right, I am ignorant."

Widow Lin laughed, and taught him again: "Now that you have ten taels of silver, hurry up and buy some red paper sprinkled with gold, and some ink sticks with incense. Although I can't read, I know it's written like this." I'm afraid the price will double again!" Teach again, "You write so well, you shouldn't write here, it's deserted here after all, you should go to a more lively street market, so that more people will see what you write The word! During the Chinese New Year, the most indispensable thing on the street is people, and everyone’s hands are loose at this time!”

Regarding the last point, Qi Zhinian also has his own ideas.

It is precisely because this place is quiet and remote that no one knows their details. If they go to the downtown area, they will probably be recognized long ago, and there will inevitably be another disturbance. Well, they left Kyoto quietly.

He thanked Widow Lin, and then went to buy the red paper that sprinkled gold. Although he couldn't go to the downtown area, he could go to a slightly more lively neighborhood. He happened to find a good place along the way.

After he left, Lin Xiuxiu was still staring at the direction Qi Zhinian left.

Widow Lin had just finished a deal, and when she saw her daughter like this, she sighed and said directly, "Don't look, that's not something people like us can think of."

Widow Lin had heard Nanny Fan call Qi Zhinian "Xiao Langjun", and she had doubted their identities at that time. It can be seen that they were really down and there was no one to help them, so she thought she had heard it wrong.Seeing that Qi Zhinian was born so well, he knows how to be polite, and is willing to endure hardships, knowing that his daughter has never been able to leave her eyes since she met him once, and thinking that her own daughter is not bad at birth, it would be great if she can get married .

Seeing Qi Zhinian's handwriting at this time, he knew that the three master and servant were by no means ordinary people.

Which ordinary person can write such words?She often delivers tofu to the academy, and was fortunate enough to meet the young master of the academy. When Qi Zhinian was writing, his elegant demeanor was far behind even that innocent young master. She didn't have the ability to guess. In terms of their identities, if you think about it carefully, they actually don't even know the names of these three people.

Lin Xiuxiu bowed her head and remained silent when her mother said something central to her.

I can't blame this girl, even the empress and empress of the palace have praised a young gentleman like Qi Zhinian. There is a low-ranking concubine in the palace with a daughter under her knees, but she left early, so the little princess She has always been raised under the empress' knees and treated her like her own daughter. The empress and the eldest princess have said many times that they will ask Qi Zhinian to favor the fifth princess in the future.

On the contrary, the eldest princess looked down on the fifth princess, thinking that the fifth princess was too cowardly.

At that time, she didn't like Qi Zhinian any more, and she watched Qi Zhinian grow up, so she never agreed to this matter.

Before the "Xiaoyezhong" incident was exposed, everyone knew that Qi Zhinian's embarrassing status was Qi Huai's son. Even so, the empress wanted to marry the princess to him, which shows Qi Zhinian's appearance Outstanding temperament and knowledge.

Qi Zhinian didn't know this, he just found a way to make money when he was in high spirits.

I spent half of the ten taels of silver I earned on gold-streaked red paper and good pens and inks, and found a gathering place of small merchants a few blocks away. He is not particularly rich, and a pair of spring couplets of ten taels or twenty taels is just right for them, and no one will recognize him.

After Qi Zhinian assessed it, he thought it was okay, so he hurried back to move the table.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw the person who had bought his first pair of Spring Festival couplets for ten taels of silver. It's time to return it.

But I didn't expect that person to turn around and see Qi Zhinian, his eyes lit up suddenly, he rushed over and grabbed Qi Zhinian and said: "Brother! I'm waiting for you! You don't know! Your Spring Festival couplets, my master It’s full of praise! I’ve been specially ordered to ask you to write a few more copies! Any price is easy to negotiate! Just ask for it! Can you write it now? Our master is in a hurry to get it!”

"..." Qi Zhinian was a little confused.

"Brother! Brother?!" The man shook Qi Zhinian vigorously, Qi Zhinian suddenly came back to his senses, smiled and nodded vigorously: "I can write now! I can write as much as I want!"

Immediately, he spread out the newly bought gold-sprinkling paper, cut it, and wrote a total of ten copies. Ji Qing paired it with ease, and wrote it quickly and well. The man gave a total of 200 taels.If in the past, 200 taels would not be able to afford Qi Zhinian's favorite ink, but now, it is enough for my mother to take medicine for half a year!

The man rolled up the Spring Festival couplets and left happily. Qi Zhinian gave 50 taels of silver to Widow Lin this time.

Widow Lin still wanted to decline, Qi Zhinian earnestly said: "Auntie, I want to give it all to you, but I also know that you will definitely not want it, so you can accept these, even if I can't write Spring Festival couplets after the New Year , I can still write other things, and I can always make more."

Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Widow Lin didn't refuse any more, and generously accepted his money, but turned around and bought them a lot of New Year's goods with the money and sent them home.

Knowing that Qi Zhinian has made so much money all at once, Mother Fan is both sad and proud.

Sad about which master needs to show his face to earn this little money?Thinking about how even now, their little lords are able to earn money and support their families, how can they not be proud.

Because of this incident, even Mother Fan, who was crying all day long, changed her temper and became more active.

In the past three days before the year, Qi Zhinian has been writing Spring Festival couplets to make money.

Later, he never met such a big customer again. He also wrote some Spring Festival couplets on ordinary paper, and because he saw poor people who were poorer than himself gave Spring Festival couplets for free, he could earn more than 100 taels of silver in one day.

Qi Zhinian was happy, he just felt full of energy, and handed over all the money he earned to Nanny Fan. He himself was reluctant to spend it, and he was still wearing the tattered cotton robe, because every day When writing Spring Festival couplets, there are a lot of ink spots on them.

Aunt Lin knew that the eldest princess had a sharp mouth and a bean-curd heart. Although she didn't give orders, she sent two guards to check on her from time to time these days, for fear that Qi Zhinian would not be able to survive. Unexpectedly, he really gradually recovered. stand up.

The day before New Year's Eve, the eldest princess called Aunt Lin, glanced at her, and asked calmly, "How is life over there?"

Aunt Lin pretended to be stupid: "What did your Highness say?"

"Hmph." The eldest princess snorted, "You still pretend to be in front of me! How dare you say that you haven't let people stare at that place these days? After all, even if you really donated money in private, I don't blame you."

Seeing that the Eldest Princess was in a good mood, Aunt Lin smiled and said, "So Your Highness is talking about that." Seeing that the Eldest Princess was acting angry, she said seriously, "Your Highness, except for the matter of renting the house, we have never stretched Let me tell you, I'm afraid you won't believe me, he..."

Aunt Lin told the story.

The eldest princess was very shocked: "He can still earn money?!"

"Yes, if it wasn't for the slaves who also went to take a peek, the slaves wouldn't believe it. In just these two days, I'm afraid I've earned two or three hundred taels of silver. A normal family can live a good life with 300 taels of silver a year. That's it! This can be regarded as a fool's blessing!"

The eldest princess was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I really didn't expect it. Those who know him say that he has a good temper, and he is good. Usually, I always think he is too well-behaved. I was afraid that he would grow up pampered and weak-willed. I didn't expect that." When encountering such a thing, he can survive and live like this. It's not that stupid people have stupid blessings. Innocence doesn't mean stupidity. Sure enough, adversity can only know a person's character. This, he is a good boy..."

"Your Highness, servant girl, to be honest, no matter who he is, Mr. Xiao Lang was actually watched by you. He grew up in our duke's mansion. How can his education and ability be bad?"

The eldest princess nodded: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and his birthday, I always remember it. Forget it, since he can live on, we don't care about it anymore, let them go, don't send anyone."

"Yes, the servant knows."

The eldest princess looked out of the window again, and said in a low voice: "It's snowing so hard, I don't know if Huai'er can come back to celebrate the New Year."

Qi Zhinian was born on New Year's Eve, but he has long forgotten about it. Now his mind is full of earning more money, so that he will be more confident when he leaves the capital.

Even on New Year's Eve, he woke up early and went out to write Spring Festival couplets as usual.

There are always some people who haven't got all the things at home, and they must still be able to do a few business deals, and the extra business is more than ten taels of silver.

After getting up, he usually went to see Jiang Qiniang first. Jiang Qiniang was lying on the bed, knowing it was him, but unable to speak, she stretched out her hand to him from under the quilt.

"Mother." Qi Zhinian sat down by the bed, held her hand, looked down at her and smiled, "Is it better today?"

Jiang Qiniang is indeed better. Although she can't speak, her head is much clearer. She looks at her son who is dressed in rags, her little face is reddish from the cold, and the skin on the back of her hand is somewhat rough. Writing Spring Festival couplets in the wind and snow to make money, tears fell instantly, and I faltered "I'm sorry".

Qi Zhinian also felt uncomfortable, no matter how unbearable his mother was back then, she was the mother who gave birth to him, and now there are only their mother and son, even if everyone in the world pointed at her and scolded her, he would not despise her.

Mother Fan always talked about her mother's innocence, and he didn't care about being framed back then.

All he knew was that this was his mother, and he wanted to make her recover from her illness and let her live a comfortable life.

Qi Zhinian tucked in the quilt and was about to get up, Jiang Qiniang grabbed his hand, worked hard for a long time, and said: "You, you...you, birthday..."

"...Ah." Qi Zhinian suddenly realized that today is indeed his birthday?

Mother Fan came in with a bowl, and said with a smile, "Little Lang, come and eat birthday noodles soon!"

Qi Zhinian looked back, the noodle bowl was steaming, and there was a golden poached egg lying on it, which was very fragrant. Mother Fan walked up to her and said: "My lady was thinking about this last night, so I wrote it in my hand. Several times, I have been told to get up early today to make birthday noodles for you!"

"Mother..." Qi Zhinian looked at Jiang Qiniang again.

A smile appeared on Jiang Qiniang's pale face, like the epiphyllum slowly blooming at night, and Qi Zhinian's eyes gradually became moist. In fact, the number of times he met Jiang Qiniang over the years was limited. When Jiang Qiniang met, even Jiang Qiniang always avoided him.

This is the longest time they have been together.

Qi Zhinian held Jiang Qiniang's hand tightly, and promised: "Mom, I will definitely let you live a good life!"

With tears in her eyes, Jiang Qiniang wrote on the palm of his hand: Mother only asks for your well-being.

Qi Zhinian tried hard to hold back his tears, and Nanny Fan was almost on the verge of crying. If it wasn't for the joyful voice of a salesman outside the door, the three of them might have cried again.

After finishing the bowl of birthday noodles that never stopped, Qi Zhinian packed up his tattered clothes, carried the book basket on his back, and went out to continue making money.

On the way, he also thought that in the afternoon, there might be no one on the road. At that time, he would close the stall earlier and go to the tailor shop to buy new clothes for his mother and Madam Fan for the New Year. They love him dearly, and so does he.

Although Jiang Qiniang is only a concubine, she is also a girl from the Hou's mansion, and later lived in the British Duke's mansion. How has she lived such a life for so many years?As for himself, the tattered padded robe on his body should really be changed, so let's buy another half-new one!I have to buy more cotton and thicker ones. He is a man, so he doesn't care about these, as long as he can cover his body!

He planned well, because there were few people on the street today, so he moved to the lively place again, guessing that no one would recognize him.

In the morning, he sold six couplets of Spring Festival couplets and earned 100 taels of silver. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, he was planning to pack up and go back. It was New Year's Eve, and it should be the last year they spent in Kyoto, so he went back earlier. It can also help Madam Fan.

While tidying up, a little lady hurriedly ran up to her face.

This place is also a gathering place for wealthy merchants. The ladies of merchants are not like the ladies of official families who don't go out of the door and don't go out. There are not many restrictions on the rules.

The little lady's face was full of excitement, she rushed into the alley without even looking at Qi Zhinian, presumably there was some big happy event.

Qi Zhinian thought it was a bit funny, he smiled alone, the things were already half packed, more footsteps came from behind, and there was a burst of fragrant wind, he turned his head and looked, ho, it was actually five or six little ladies , combing the hair style of unmarried girls, all dressed up richly, the leader is the little lady just now.

A few people were chattering, without any shyness——

"real?!"

"Can I lie to you?!"

"You won't admit it wrong."

"No! My cloth shop has just done business in their family, and the material for his servants to make clothes this winter is mine! My mother and I have received his mother, and the logo on the carriage I will never admit my mistake again!"

"Ah, what are you waiting for, let's go!!"

"Is he really that handsome? But he is already in his 30s, is he really more handsome than Young Master Lan?"

Qi Zhinian didn't understand what they were talking about when he heard it.

Qi Zhinian has been disciplined strictly since he was a child, and he doesn't know anything about the affection of these young children.

On the contrary, those young ladies had already passed by him quickly. When Qi Zhinian put the inkstone into the book basket, he happened to hear a lady say: "What do you know! A real beauty doesn't care how big she is. Age! My mother met Ying Gong once back then, and said he was so handsome! He looked like a fairy! Where is Mr. Lan! My mother said that Mr. Lan can’t compare with Ying Gong at all!"

Qi Zhinian's hand stopped.

When the young ladies heard this, they were even more handsome than Mr. Lan, so that's fine. They were afraid that they would miss the fairy-like Mr. Ying, so they hurriedly shouted: "Then what are you waiting for! Hurry up! It's too late and there is no place to go!" Already!"

They rushed out immediately.

British public?

Qi Zhinian turned his head slowly, towards the direction where the little ladies left, and suddenly thought of what Aunt Ji had said before, that the British Guild would go back to the capital for the New Year, he, did he really come back? !

Qi Zhinian's hands even trembled slightly.

It has been 16 years, until he has confirmed that he is really not the son of the British Duke, and he has never seen the side of this fantasy "father".

Maybe they will leave the capital soon after some years, and maybe the British princesses that those little ladies are talking about are simply the ones they have misidentified. Even though he even has other fantasies, he also knows that this should be the last time he may see in his life. Opportunity to go to Gongqihuai in the UK.

Yes, with his identity and position, how could he have the face to meet Qi Huai again?

But this is the person he has longed for and admired since he was a child.

He couldn't just leave here without seeing Qi Huai.

The footsteps of those little ladies were getting farther and farther away, the scent of rouge was blown away by the wind, Qi Zhinian was undecided, his feet moved first, he didn't even bother to take the book basket, he raised his feet and ran after them.

The author has something to say:

I have met the Daoist elder brother, and I want to meet the British prince~
