34. Business opening(1/2)
At the end of November 23, Zhengding, it was almost winter.
Suzhou, in the south of the Yangtze River, also felt a little cold, and even Chen Qiu had to add an extra thin coat to his coat.
Qingqing also returned to Suzhou City.
She lived in Luoyueqintai for a month. After she was in good health, she urged to return to Suzhou. Yaoqin's persuasion was fruitless. The younger sister just wanted to stay with her senior brother.
Chen Qiu couldn't persuade her, so he had to take her back to the small escort agency.
After Chen Qiu got up that day, he practiced the sword technique in the yard and heard Qingqing girl rushing in from the door.
This girl seemed to have recovered from her energy. She waved a small package in her hand and said to her senior brother with a smile:
"Senior brother, Brother Shangui has sent a letter."
"Yeah?"
Chen Qiu put away his knife, wiped his sweat, and walked into the front hall of the escort agency. He saw Qingqing lying on the chair and having already taken the package apart.
"Brother Shangui's name is so ugly, it's like a dog crawling."
The girl squinted her mouth, waved the letter paper in her hand, and said to Chen Qiu:
"But it's much better than before, and it seems that I'm really practicing hard recently."
"You can't ask too much for him."
Chen Qiu didn't care much.
His handwriting is not much better.
Especially compared with Qingqing's small fliest calligraphy, it is similar to a dog crawling. However, Chen Qiu is better at writing hard-wired characters with a quill pen.
The brother and sister sat on one side, spread the letter from Shan Gui and placed it on the table.
As a result, after reading a few sentences, Chen Qiu couldn't bear to look at the whole typo. The disadvantage of pinyin literacy lies in this. Beginners can easily catch it when they encounter polyphonic characters and near-sound characters.
But the general meaning is understandable.
After they left Taihang, the mountain ghosts lived a leisurely life. The Northern Dynasties lost a team of black-clothed guards, but they did not respond. They did not seem to intend to send more people to Taihang Mountain to seek death.
However, the news of this immortal relic has been spread for some reason. Recently, many people from the Northern Dynasties have frequently entered Taihang.
Of course, they will not be able to say much about their fate.
If you dare to break into the territory of the mountain ghost, you will inevitably have to pay a price.
The mountain ghost also reminded Chen Qiu and Qingqing to take good care of their health. If you have the chance in the future, you might as well visit Taihang Mountain.
"Brother Shangui is lonely."
Qingqing was not in high spirits, so she whispered to her senior brother:
"He actually wants us to see him, right?"
"Maybe."
Chen Qiu reached out and touched Qingqing's head, and he said:
"He is the elves in the mountains and can only live there. If we come to this earth with us, the elves will not be elves."
"Elf, is the dwarf you told me last night? Seven dwarfs and princesses and the like."
Qingqing supported her head with her hands, looked at Chen Qiu, and she asked:
"Did that prince really just kissed him, and the princess woke up?"
"Yes, that's magic."
Chen Qiu picked up the second letter from Shan Gui, and he casually said:
"You can understand it as the best internal strength."
"oh."
Qingqing nodded and she said:
"That prince must have a very strong martial arts skills? After all, the witch queen who can kill the poisonous arts, the queen must have a very high martial arts skills. Maybe she is a master of the martial arts world."
"But how can a master in the martial arts world be a queen? Isn't the king afraid? Or is the king also a master in the martial arts world?"
"Uh, I can't answer you."
Chen Qiu was a little confused by Qingqing's endless strange problems, so he could only fool him.
He glanced at the letter paper, handed the letter to Qingqing, then got up and took out a cardboard from the drawer, which had many chaotic squares on it, which were deliberately carved.
"Senior brother, what's going on with this letter?"
Qingqing grabbed the letter and said to Chen Qiu with a confused face:
"This word can't be read at all, just like Brother Shangui wrote it casually."
"Use this!"
Chen Qiu put the cardboard in his hand on the letter, changed direction, and showed it to Qingqing. He pointed at the handwriting exposed in the square engraved by the cardboard and said to Qingqing:
"You excerpt these words and then again."
"oh."
Qingqing girl responded, then took the letter paper and cardboard to the study in the front hall. Chen Qiu stayed behind the counter in the front hall of the escort agency, and was bored to read a book "popularity" sold by Qingqing.
They are all stories of three heroes and five righteousness, half-written and half-white, Qingqing was very excited to watch, but Chen Qiu felt a little boring and rigid.
It's all a routine.
There is no online articles that kill gods and destroy Buddhas in their previous lives, and they are full of imagination, and they look comfortable.
This era is indeed lacking in entertainment, and Qingqing does not allow Chen Qiu to go to the brothel fireworks to have fun. After practicing martial arts every night, the brother and sister sat in the yard to tell stories, which became Chen Qiu's only nightlife.
In the past two months, he has told all the stories in his mind and even started to tell fairy tales.
Qingqing was very happy and excited when she heard it.
But for Chen Qiu, it was a torture.
Life in Suzhou City is very comfortable, but Chen Qiu began to miss the days in Taihang Mountains. This slow-paced life is really boring.
He felt like he was about to rust.
Chen Qiubai was bored and lying on the counter, thinking about whether to tell Qingqing a story like Douqi Sword Immortal. While waiting for Qingqing to translate the secret letter, a guest came to her door.
"Yeah, isn't this the uncle of the Liu family?"
Chen Qiu raised his head and saw Old Man Liu, who runs a grocery store on the same street, walked into the gate with a ugly expression. He stood up to greet him, poured another cup of coarse tea, and asked Old Man Liu to sit down.
The shops on this street are all merchants from Luoyue Shangfang. They share the same spirit and have a harmonious relationship.
The small escort agency that is unruly does not take on external work on weekdays. It does business with acquaintances, and helps these neighboring merchants deliver goods or letters from home. There are few long-distance escorts.
Seeing that Old Man Liu came to the escort agency today, Chen Qiu knew that after more than two months of idleness, he finally had work to do.
Old Man Liu sat on the chair with a gloomy face, drinking tea, and not talking. Chen Qiu asked on his own initiative:
"Uncle Liu, are you worried about anything? Why not tell me."
The old man glanced at Chen Qiu, shook his head again, and after a while, he hesitated:
"Xiao Qiuer."
"Just call me Chen Qiu, Uncle Liu."
Chen Qiu said, Xiao Qiuer's nickname is probably the saying that others call her close to others, but he really has no blessing to save him.
"Okay, Chen Qiu."
The old man lamented, and he said:
"Do you know this about this shop when I bought goods from outside the city a few days ago and was robbed by a group of thieves?"
"Yeah, I heard about it."
Chen Qiu took a sip of tea, and he probably knew the old man's purpose.
Although the Liu family grocery store is a grocery store, the shop is not small and is considered a large-sized brand in this shop area.
His family specializes in providing various groceries for several restaurants in the city, and the business is booming.
When the business is good, the supply of raw materials must be kept up. Therefore, there is a special partner in Old Man Liu’s shop to buy near Suzhou City, and his eldest son is also in charge of this matter.
Nothing happened in the past, but a few days ago, a batch of goods purchased from outside the city that the eldest son of the Liu family escorted were robbed on his return trip.
The thief robbed the goods and planned to rob people and kidnap the tickets.
But the eldest son of the Liu family was smart and ran away while the chaos was running.
This matter is a big news on this street. Qingqing girl heard about it immediately and ran back to tell her a lot to her senior brother, which was quite like a Hong Kong reporter.
"Liu is nothing wrong, right?"
Chen Qiu asked.
Old Man Liu sighed again and said:
To be continued...
