Congrats to the boss and his brother

Chi Jingyao turned his face faster than he turned a book. Just now he was so wronged by crying, but now he was like a normal person, carefully rolled up the two fox skins and put them away, and then looked curiously at the call from Pei Ye prey.

His eyes were still red at the moment, and his long eyelashes were wet with tears, showing the traces of just crying.

Pei Ye stared at him for a long while, his brows almost furrowed, he really couldn't figure out what was in this little thing's head.

"Second brother, what good things did you pack this time?" Chi Jingyao said while picking up the sack that Pei Ye had brought back.

But the mouth of the bag was tied too tightly, and Chi Jingyao's small hands had no strength, so he couldn't open it after trying for a long time.

Seeing this, Pei Ye reached out to untie the sack, and gave Chi Jingyao a meaningful look.

I saw Chi Jingyao opened the mouth of the sack and looked in, with a complicated expression on his face.

This sack contained a half-sized wild boar.

Chi Jingyao: ...

At dusk, after Father Pei returned home, he began to process the prey that Pei Ye had just brought in on the edge of the stone platform in the courtyard.

Chi Jingyao stood by the side eating and watching with two wild fruits in his hand. Father Pei was worried that he was afraid at first, but saw that he only frowned slightly at first, but he was not so afraid after seeing it.

"You girl is quite courageous." Father Pei laughed.

"I will learn to hunt from my second brother in the future, so of course I can't be afraid." Chi Jingyao said seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ye who was not far away said, "I didn't promise to teach you hunting."

"It's fine if you don't hunt." Chi Jingyao walked up to Pei Ye with small steps and said, "Just teach me how to shoot flying knives."

Pei Ye looked at him silently, but Pei Yuan beside him couldn't help but laugh.

In the past few days, because his complexion has improved and he is in a good mood, he has to stay in the courtyard for a while every day.

"Ayao, let me teach you how to read." Pei Yuan said.

Chi Jingyao was startled, just about to say that he could read, but then realized that he was only seven years old.

"Brother is good at reading?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Pei Yuan smiled lightly and said, "It's not very good, but it's still possible to teach you how to read."

As he spoke, he picked up a small wooden stick from the side, and motioned Chi Jingyao to sit next to him.Chi Jingyao hurriedly dragged a small bench and sat beside Pei Yuan, and saw that Pei Yuan wrote "Heaven" and "Earth" on the ground with the stick in his hand.

"Heaven and Earth." Pei Yuan pointed to the two words on the ground.

Chi Jingyao noticed Pei Yuan's movements, and realized that he had been paying attention to Pei Ye from the corner of his eye, so he subconsciously glanced at Pei Ye.

Pei Ye's eyes were originally on those two words, but when he saw Chi Jingyao looking at him, he simply got up and walked away.

Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye's back, then at Pei Yuan, keenly aware of something.

"Second brother is upset." Chi Jingyao whispered.

Pei Yuan smiled wryly, and said to Chi Jingyao: "If I hadn't been sick back then, your second brother would have gone to school already."

"The matter of his going to the school that year was already settled, and the master of the school saw that he was smart, and he liked him very much." Pei Yuan sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I would be ill and completely delay his study. gone."

In this era, although most of the children of the farmers did not know a few big characters.But if the family can afford it a little, they are still willing to let their children try it. If they can learn something famous, it will be a great event for the ancestors.

Chi Jingyao asked in a low voice: "I can't go to school, my eldest brother can teach him how to read at home."

"I thought about it too, but he didn't want to." Pei Yuan said.

That year he himself fell ill, not only could not continue to study, but also became a burden on the family, Pei Yuan was more or less depressed for a while.When he calmed down a little, Pei Ye had already started to learn to go up the mountain to hunt with the hunters in the village.

"At that time, everyone thought he was just angry and wanted to go to the mountain to relax." Pei Yuan said: "Not long after, he really brought back two rabbits from the mountain."

Pei Yuan looked at Chi Jingyao, stretched out his hand and gestured: "He was not much older than you at that time."

Since then, Pei Ye has never mentioned the matter of studying again, and no one else is allowed to mention it.

But everyone in the family knows that Pei Ye has always regretted not being able to study.

It is also because of this that Pei Yuan suddenly said today that he wanted to teach Chi Jingyao to read, so he had this reaction.

"Brother, do you want to take the opportunity of teaching me how to read and let my second brother learn together?" Chi Jingyao asked.

Pei Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "But your second brother is stubborn, I think he still doesn't want to."

Hearing this, Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye thoughtfully, feeling a little complicated.

Before that, he only knew that Pei Ye would be very successful in the future, he would join the army and make meritorious deeds, and become a big boss with unparalleled merits.

But I never thought that Daxie would have so many bitter memories when he was young.

According to Chi Jingyao's guess, Pei Ye must still be eager to read and write.

It is said that there is a house of gold in the book. For those with a little ambition, who doesn't want to read and read?

Especially in this era, reading may be the only opportunity to see beyond this world.

Chi Jingyao looked at Pei Ye who was helping his father with his prey not far away, and secretly had a plan in his mind.

He wanted to attack Pei Ye, so he couldn't just cry every day, right?

As time went by, Pei Ye would get annoyed even if he didn't bother him.

So Chi Jingyao decided to come up with some new tricks, to see if he could advance the progress of the attack.

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyao whispered something in Pei Yuan's ear.

Pei Yuan was taken aback, as if he was a little surprised and a little hesitant.

Chi Jingyao blinked at him, which reassured him.

That night, no one brought up the subject again.

Pei Ye still had that indifferent expression, even looking a little more alienated than usual.

After dinner, Pei Ye returned to the room and saw Pei Yuan leaning against the bed, reading a book by the candlelight.

Ever since Chi Jingyao "occupied" Pei Ye's room, he moved to Pei Yuan's room and set up a low couch in the corner of the room.

Seeing him coming in, Pei Yuan secretly glanced at him, and said, "A Yao said that he wants me to teach him how to read."

Pei Ye paused for making the bed, and then let out a "hmm".

"Ayao is smart, sensible, and eager to learn. I also want to teach 'her' well." Pei Yuan said again.

Pei Ye gave another "hmm" and didn't express any opinion.

Pei Yuan coughed lightly, and said, "I checked, and the ink and paper at home are all used up. Aren't you going to the county town with old uncle Qian tomorrow to sell wild boar meat to a restaurant? Go buy it when you come back." Some paper and ink."

"Got it." Pei Ye said flatly.

After Pei Yuan finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Pei Ye.

In fact, in these years, Pei Yuan had the idea of ​​teaching Pei Ye to read more than once.

However, he has a gentle temper and Pei Ye is stubborn, so he can't say anything about Pei Ye at all.

Now he can see that if it comes to dealing with Pei Ye, it seems that the little girl has a better way.

Early the next morning, Chi Jingyao got up early and asked Rong Niang to tie his hair.

Today he wore a light yellow coat that Rong Niangxin changed for him, and he looked very lively and agile.

When Pei Ye heard Chi Jingyao say that he would go to the county with him, he obviously wanted to refuse.

But seeing Chi Jingyao holding the two fox furs he got from Aunt Qiu's house in his hands, he didn't say anything.

The two of them still went to the county seat in the old money's mule cart.

Pei Ye first took the newly hunted wild pork to a restaurant and sold it.

The little wild boar he brought in was of medium size and had a good taste. Father Pei left some corners and corners of the meat to eat for himself when he processed it. Let Pei Ye bring it and sell it.

However, the wild pork here does not seem to be too valuable, and more than 20 catties of meat are only sold for more than 100 yuan.

After selling out the wild boar meat, the two went to the tailor shop again.

The shopkeeper in the shop greeted Chi Jingyao as soon as he saw him, and he was very enthusiastic about Chi Jingyao.

The last time he took Chi Jingyao's white fox fur, he never thought about how much profit he would get. He never thought that the fox fur was taken by an aunt of the owner's family, and said that it had been a long time since he had seen such a fine fox fur. , the owner rewarded him a lot of benefits for his pleasure.

Therefore, seeing Chi Jingyao again today, he was naturally in a good mood.

"Little baby, how many leathers do you have in your family in the future, no matter good or bad, bring them to me and sell them." The shopkeeper said to Chi Jingyao, "I won't bully you, as long as you bring them, except for the good quality leathers, the price is the only price." Besides, for the rest, I will give you [-]% more than the fur dealer."

Although he said this to Chi Jingyao, he looked at Pei Ye who was on the side, obviously knowing that Pei Ye was the one in charge.

Pei Ye frowned slightly, and asked, "Why?"

"Because of the fox fur you bought back last time, the owner has connected a workshop that specializes in processing fur. Their craftsmanship is better than that of the fur dealers, and the price is fair." The shopkeeper said: "Although the fur we use is not considered A lot, but now the world is not good, if you can save some, you can save some, don’t you think?”

"But we have robbed the fur dealer's business, so don't spread the word about it." The shopkeeper warned again.

Pei Ye didn't ask any more questions when he heard the words, and nodded in response.

Since it is something that benefits both parties, he naturally has no reason to refuse.

Afterwards, the shopkeeper looked at the two fox furs, and offered them a higher price than Chi Jingyao expected. The two fox furs gave them a total of more than 600 Wen.According to the agreement with Aunt Qiu, after deducting the dozens of Wen that they could get from selling to fur dealers, they can each get half of the remaining nearly 600 Wen.

After coming out of the tailor shop, Chi Jingyao had a smug face.

He had made a plan in his heart, and later put Aunt Qiu's leather and Pei Ye's leather together and sold them here. At that time, he would not only help Aunt Qiu earn more money, but also earn some benefits. It really killed two birds with one stone.

Pei Ye glanced at him, walked to a steamed bun stall not far away, and bought two steamed buns.

Chi Jingyao took a bun and took a bite, looked up at Pei Ye and asked, "Second brother, where are we going next?"

Pei Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes wandered around the street.

Finally, he looked towards the end of the street and said, "Go and buy you paper and ink."

"What do you buy me paper and ink for?" Chi Jingyao took another bite of the bun and asked.

"Aren't you going to learn how to read with elder brother?" Pei Ye said.

"I don't really want to learn." Chi Jingyao said: "Brother can't teach you, and he wants to drag me into the water."

Pei Ye frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Why don't you learn?"

"What's so good about reading? I don't like reading." Chi Jingyao said.

While he was talking, he had already finished eating one bun, and took another one without hesitation.

Pei Ye looked at him for a while, then said in a muffled voice, "Reading...of course it's good."

"I don't believe it, so why don't you read it yourself?" Chi Jingyao said.

After he finished speaking, he stared at Pei Ye expectantly, hoping to hear the answer from Pei Ye.

But Pei Ye was only silent for a while, and finally said nothing, turned and walked towards the corner shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study.

Chi Jingyao looked at his back, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

For some reason, although Pei Ye didn't speak, Chi Jingyao felt that the other party was a little sad.

If the direction in the original book is followed, Pei Ye's eldest brother may die soon, and Pei Ye probably won't be in the mood to read anymore.Not long after, Pei Ye joined the army, slowly climbed up from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood at a young age, and finally became the big boss in the book.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Pei Ye has never been really relaxed since he was a child.

Pei Ye came out of the shop after buying the Four Treasures of the Study, and saw Chi Jingyao standing at the door, looking at him with complicated eyes.

Pei Ye: ...

He must have read it wrong!

How could the little thing look at him with affection?
