Republic of China small businessman

Xie Jing stretched out her hand and looked down at her fingers.

Different from Liu Ruyi's, it is a boy's hand, a circle bigger than Liu Ruyi's hand, and the fingers look more knuckle, but the fingers are long enough and well-shaped, but in turn, they touch the pulp of the finger and At the tiger's mouth, you can feel a layer of thin calluses, not the weak and boneless hands of a woman.

He didn't know anything before, Master Jiu taught him a lot, and someone once recognized him as Xie Wanzhou who was singing opera, and wanted him to sing another song, but Master Jiu stopped them all.

Master Jiu doesn't like to hear him sing.

In other words, I don't like listening to him sing in front of people.

When he occasionally sang a verse or two to Master Jiu in private, he didn't see what Master Jiu said, and the next day he would send some loquat cream to keep his voice in good condition.

Master Jiu seems to prefer to read books quietly. He can play chess in his spare time, and occasionally draw some ink and line drawings. He has a general attitude towards Western paintings. When he was in the study, he was taught to write most by hand.

Some held his hand and taught it seriously, and some were less serious.

At that time, he had just arrived in the White Mansion, he was still a bit awkward, and he didn't want many things. Master Jiu asked him many times before he said he wanted a bowl of sweet glutinous rice balls.At that time, he didn't dare to eat anything, Master Jiu stared at him eating glutinous rice balls, and then slowly finished a small bowl, even the person looked very soft, it should be the obedient appearance that Master Jiu likes.

He had made Master Jiu angry before, so he would do the same. He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, trying to fool him first.

The more Xie Jing thought about it, the more she felt that Master likes this.

That Liu Ruyi can make such eye-pleasing movements better than him, with a soft voice, not irritating at all.

The young man in the mirror pursed his lips, and his small face was wrinkled together. He stretched out his hand to paint the facial features in the mirror, thinking seriously.

Xie Jing thought to himself, it must be that he is not good enough now, and if it takes another year or two, the Lord will definitely not be able to do without him.

After Master Jiu came back, Xie Jing still went to watch the night, but this time Master Jiu coughed, and he quickly climbed to the corner of the bed, wrapped in a thin blanket and slept there without moving his nest.

Jiu Ye thought about it for a long time but couldn't say it, he pressed his fist to his lips, smiled lightly and shook his head.

On the third day of September, Bai Mingyu bid farewell to Master Jiu, and brought a caravan of seven or eight people back to Qinghe to visit relatives.

Master Jiu agrees, and writes another book according to what he said, and allows him to take it to the Northland Chamber of Commerce, which is also convenient for traveling and lodging along the way.

Master Jiu's letter was just an introduction to Bai Mingyu, and gave him the status of a treasurer of the provincial government. It would be convenient for him to do things after he said it. Bai Mingyu happily accepted it, put it close to his chest, and patted his hand on his chest: " Lord, don't worry, I will definitely put it away, with your letter, it will be more useful than anything else!"

Xie Jing stood behind Master Jiu and gave him winks, for fear that Bai Mingyu would talk too much.

Bai Mingyu understood, and only said a few nice words, and left quickly.

Master Jiu didn't finish the tea in his hand, but he didn't intend to drink any more. He turned to look at Xie Jing and asked, "You've been looking for Bai Er for the past two days, are you..."

Xie Jing's heart was beating like a drum, but she didn't show it on her face, she just looked at Master Jiu and waited for him to finish speaking.

Master Jiu pondered for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Xie Jing's wrist, brought him to him, and asked softly, "Do you want to go out too?"

Xie Jing was held by his wrist, and his pulse was held in the palm of his hand. For a moment, he didn't know whether the grip was too tight or what. He just felt the blood rushing to his face. He looked away a little, shook his head and said: "Master, I I do not want to go out."

"You really don't want to?"

"I don't want to, I just want to stay at home and ride a horse on the mountain for two laps at most..."

Master Jiu knocked him on the head, and said with a smile: "If you still say you don't want to, I know it. After a few days, you will be full of desires to run out and play. In the afternoon, the tailor will send you clothes. You can pick out some convenient ones and bring them with you. Take Bai Shishi again, and I will accompany you."

Xie Jing was at a loss: "Where are you going?"

Master Jiu said: "Where else could it be? Didn't I promise you two days ago that I would take you to live in the mountains for a few days."

The clothes from the tailor's shop arrived quickly, probably because they knew that the East Courtyard's affairs were important, so they brought all the clothes here at once, and hung twenty or thirty sets there for Xie Jing to choose.

Xie Jing flipped through it a few times, "It's not that you only made a few pieces, why are there so many?"

The tailor said with a smile: "There are other people in the house. We have an order. We know that the young master's side is important. We will send them to you for your review first, and then we will share the rest."

Xie Jing fingered a piece of clothing, stopped for a moment, turned back and picked up a piece of clothing and frowned: "Is this a female student's clothing?"

The tailor nodded: "Yes, the steward of the mansion told me to send it to Jingshui Lane."

Xie Jing pursed her lips.

There is also a female student who can draw in Jingshui Lane. Speaking of which, she lives in the same room as Liu Ruyi. She has short hair and likes to wear such new clothes. It is really different.

Xie Jing looked at it impatiently, and asked the tailor to keep all her clothes, picked a few together with the male student uniform, packed them into a box, and carried them to the carriage.

It's rare for Master Jiu to have two days of free time, and it's just autumn, and it's not too cold here in the provincial capital, so it's just right to go to the mountains to enjoy the scenery.

The carriage swayed for half a day and slowly reached the foot of the mountain.

It was raining lightly outside, and the green mountain was still covered with a layer of tulle, and even the air smelled of rain and mud.The coachman in coir raincoat led the horse and whined softly, startling a little squirrel on a big tree not far away. The little squirrel was clever. Hearing the sound of people, he quickly climbed up the tree pole and hid himself in the thick leaves.

Xie Jing was holding a long grass in her mouth, shaking it by her mouth, and resting her chin to look at the scenery outside the carriage window.

Master Jiu called him twice before turning his head and answering: "Master?"

"I tell you to come in, don't be greedy for the cold." Seeing that he was still hesitating, Master Jiu said, "If you get sick this time, I'll give you an injection."

Xie Jing froze for a moment.

Jiu Ye said again: "This time there is no small needle, the needle is much thicker than before, you think about it." The last time Xie Jing had a high fever in Heihe, Jiu Ye gave him an injection himself, and the child was still obedient when he was asleep As soon as I woke up and saw the needle, my forehead was sweating. When the needle was stuck, the sweat would flow down the back.

Master Jiu looked up at him, and sure enough, he saw Xie Jing quickly opened the curtain and sat in.

He had never seen such a person.

I am not afraid of hurting tendons and breaking bones, but I am afraid of a small needle.

Master Jiu glanced at Xie Jing, then looked out of the car window, with a smile on his lips, and coughed again.

This house on the mountain originally belonged to Cao Yunzhao. Mr. Cao is not in the provincial government now, so he asked the housekeeper to send it to Bai Jiu to take care of it——Cao Yunzhao still wanted to come back, he was reluctant to sell it, and he was afraid that others would not take good care of it. It's most reassuring to put it here with Master Jiu.

Xie Jing didn't recognize it at first, but after taking two steps, seeing the hot spring water coming up from the yard here, he suddenly remembered that Master Jiu had brought him here several times before.He quite likes it here. The house on the mountain is quite big, and there is a natural hot spring nearby. The water can be diverted to the pool in the backyard where you can soak up your fatigue. There is no one and it is quiet. It is indeed a good place.

Not long after, the surname of this house was no longer Cao. Just like him, Lord Jiu took it and never returned it.

On rainy days, the weather is slightly cool, which is just right.

The hot spring pool is divided into two rooms, and Master Jiu occupied the big one alone. After soaking for a while, he heard someone knock on the door outside, and asked through the paper door: "Master, the small kitchen has prepared some snacks and warmed a pot Yellow rice wine, do you want some?"

Master Jiu soaked in the pool, lazily said: "No, send it to Jing'er."

The man outside the door promised, and passed by with the tray in his hand.

There is a wall between Xie Jing and Master Jiu, and the voice of that person delivering food is very clear, there is no secret at all, Master Jiu can clearly hear Xie Jing's answer from here, followed by the sound of cups clinking, If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of little things cracking nuts.

Master Jiu listened to it for a while and found it interesting.

Xie Jing wore a loose robe and sat next door, eating fried pine nuts cross-legged.

While knocking on the pine nuts, he stretched out his other hand and fiddled with the plate that was delivered. It was dry and wet, and there were eight plates of dried fruit and pastries, all of which were more delicate than the other. Thoughts.

Xie Jing crushed it with her fingers, dipped a little into her mouth, and once she tasted it, she knew it had been added.

When he was in the theatrical troupe, he almost suffered from dark losses. He accidentally ate this kind of food once, soaked in cold water for half the night, and the taste was really unpleasant.

After Xie Jing tasted the pea yellow, he tasted the others one by one, more or less added drugs to add to the fun, some even added wine, although it can't sing spicy, but eating it is better than drinking a few glasses of white wine Where to go.He also poured some warm rice wine, took a sip and tasted it, but the wine was normal, soft in the mouth and nothing mixed with it.

Xie Jing thought for a while, crushed some pastry crumbs, put them into the wine and shook them well.

As long as you eat a lot of pastries, it will be effective, and it will be the fastest if you put it in wine.
