Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 190
Hearing from the bookstore clerk that those worn-out books are very cheap, Chunqiu was stunned for a while, but after realizing it, he put down the books in his arms and ran back to pick them out again.

Yang Chunming put the book in his hand on the counter, looked back helplessly at his sister who was rummaging through the old books, and waited with the clerk beside him.

"Qiu'er, hurry up, it's getting late." Yang Chunming looked at his younger sister who had no intention of stopping, and said directly.

The clerk at the side was already a little anxious. If he knew that what he said was so ambiguous, he should not open his mouth. Look at the bookstore clerk now, his face is conflicted. Although he made money by selling old books, it is not worth it.

"Second brother, wait a little longer," Chunqiu replied with a sense of indifference, and continued to rummage after speaking.

I don’t know if I don’t read it, I was shocked when I saw it, my little boy, Chunqiu patted her bumpy little chest, and the smile on her face never diminished, although most of these books are missing pages However, judging from the content, there are still many merits. Chunqiu happily rummaged through the treasures in the book, and put the books he selected aside.

Yang Chunming turned around and smiled apologetically at the clerk, then walked directly to Chunqiu, squatted down and looked at the tall books beside him, Yang Chunming felt a little funny, "Qiu'er, these books are available at home, you buy them It’s useless to go back.” Yang Chunming began to flip through the books that Chunqiu picked out, such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States", which are available at home. He didn't know why his sister wasted time on these things. Although it doesn't cost much.

Of course Chunqiu didn't know Yang Chunjun's thoughts, even if she knew, she wouldn't care, after all, these books were the treasures she found.

Chunqiu snorted proudly at Yang Chunming, then raised her head, "Second brother, this is Qiu'er's treasure, maybe there is something good in it." If she finds some ancient books, she will not get rich?You must know that in ancient times there was also a hobby of collecting. Those famous calligraphy and paintings are worth a lot of money.

Yang Chunming rubbed Chunqiu's little head, smiled and said, "Okay, up to you." Yang Chunming got up and went back to the bookstore clerk.

Seeing the guy anxiously, Yang Chunming had no choice but to chat with the guy. He was worried that he would be kicked out by the guy in the end.

After finally waiting for the selection of Chunqiu, Yang Chunming hastily paid for Chunqiu. By the time the brother and sister came out of the bookstore with a stack of books in their hands, it was already dark, and lanterns were lit on both sides of the street. Except for the hawker who was about to close the stall and go back, there was no one else, and the two stood on the street looking at each other, speechless.

"Qiu'er, do you still have to go to the medicine hall?" Yang Chunming wanted to say that it would be better to go home at night, but he had already promised his sister before, so that he could not go back on his word. After thinking about it, Yang Chunming still asked, thinking At worst, it doesn't hurt to go with my sister.

Chunqiu first looked down at the tall stack of books in his arms, then looked up at the darkened sky, and shook his head honestly, "Let's go tomorrow, it's too late today, and there are too many books, I can't carry it." She has no room in her hand, and at this time, the medicine hall should be closed, even if the medicine hall is not closed, she won't be able to carry it when she goes.

Yang Chunming took a look, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go tomorrow." After saying this, the two of them didn't intend to go forward, but turned a corner and went home.

The herbal cottage, which is only an alley away from the bookstore, did not close the door as Chunqiu thought. Instead, the door was open, and the inside and outside of the shop were brightly lit.

Two young men dressed as servants stood at the door of the thatched cottage, and a young fellow with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and good features was talking to the handsome young fellow on the side, "Qingsong, why don't we go and persuade the young master to work so hard every day?" , this iron body can't stand it, not to mention the young master is still weak..." After saying this, the thick-eyed boy secretly glanced into the shop, his eyes were full of worry, no matter how talented the young master is, But after all, you are young and mature, especially... not long after the wife passed away, and the master fell ill in the mansion because of his wife's worries. There are no adults in the family, and only the young master is alone... Alas, the boy is distressed and helpless Sighing, the young master's life...is also suffering.

"Oh, forget it, the young master won't listen. How many times have we persuaded you before, but...there are so many things in the house, and we servants can't help you." Qingsong insisted Shaking his head, since the young master came back from Heishan Town, he has been serving the young master all the time, but after all, the relationship between the two is master and servant, and caring too much will only cause trouble. Now the master stays in the mansion and doesn't care about world affairs. The thatched cottage's business is all on the young master...

Alas, speaking of this, the two looked at each other helplessly and sighed at the same time.

There is no one in the shop of this herbal hall except Zhou Huaiyan. Both the medicine boy and the doctor have left. Zhou Huaiyan is sitting at the table at this time, with the oil lamp lit beside him, holding today's account book in his hand, with no expression on his face Looking at it, although this herbal hall is mainly a medicine hall for curing diseases and saving lives, it is still a business after all. The herbs handled every day will be recorded in the book, what medicinal materials are missing, and what medicinal materials are supplemented... These are all Zhou Huaiyan needs to remember.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Huaiyan put down the account book in his hand, stretched out his hand and rubbed the frown between his brows, he was very tired, and his temples hurt a lot, Zhou Huaiyan had no choice but to smile bitterly, there was no way, because of his mother, his father's It can be said that his mind is not in the shop at all. Whatever happens in the shop, no matter how big or small, requires his consent. In addition, he is too young to understand many things. And lack of strength.

Especially recently, it can be said that Zhou Huaiyan himself is under a lot of pressure, whether it is psychological or physical, but there is no way, his grandfather's family is far away in Qingyang, and now all the large and small medicine halls around Linfang County need it. He has seen it, and he has no right to complain.

With the passage of time, Zhou Huaiyan became more and more handsome, with picturesque eyebrows, exquisite facial features, and the seemingly faint coldness on his body, which attracted many young girls in Linfang County to spring up their hearts, and they would come here every now and then. Going to the medicine hall and pretending to be sick, in order to see Zhou Huaiyan's side.

"Qingsong, Qingbai, when is it?"

Zhou Huaiyan finished handling the account book in his hand, revealing his handsome face, speaking in a cold tone, looking forward with his eyes full of exhaustion.

The two servants standing at the door heard the voice, and hurriedly lowered their heads and replied, "It's Xu time"

It turned out that it was already so late, Zhou Huaiyan sighed in his heart, without changing his voice, and continued, "Okay, the matter here has been dealt with, let's go back now."

It's time to go back to the mansion. After dealing with the affairs here, there are still a lot of things waiting for him at home.

Qingsong glanced at Qingbai, the two paused, Qingbai stood up, and whispered to Zhou Huaiyan, who was a little dazed, "Master, you haven't eaten for a day, why don't you go back after eating something?" Since Zhou Huaiyan came here in the morning, he either went to the doctor for consultation or checked the account books. During this period, he didn't even drink a sip of water, although Qingsong and his wife felt distressed.But he didn't dare to disturb him directly, and now he dared not say this until his young master finished his work.

Zhou Huaiyan was taken aback for a moment, turned sideways, and then laughed softly, "It's nothing, let's eat when we go back." He didn't even have an appetite standing there, so why waste time.

The two were distracted by Zhou Huaiyan's smile that came like a breeze without knowing it, and they stared blankly, like wooden figures.

It was still Qingsong who reacted quickly, and when he came back to his senses, Qingsong was a little embarrassed, and tugged at the sleeve of Qingbai who was still stunned, the two hurriedly lowered their heads, and insisted, "Master, let's go after eating."

It is rare for the two to persist, because they know each other.If they were to return home, with Zhou Huaiyan's disposition, he probably wouldn't be able to eat. Thinking that his wife had just left, the two of them were also worried that the young master's body would not be able to withstand it.

Seeing the unyielding tone of the two people in front of him, Zhou Huaiyan opened his mouth to say something, but he had nothing to say, "Forget it, let's eat here." Zhou Huaiyan finally compromised helplessly.

After hearing this, Qingsong and the two were very happy, and hurriedly bowed their heads to report, and then ran to the kitchen in the backyard one after the other. There are kitchens in all shops, and because the two of them have to take care of Zhou Huaiyan from time to time, they can cook simple meals.

Zhou Huaiyan looked at the two people leaving, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he knew the concern of the two, he stood up directly from the stool, walked to the door, looked up at the round and big moon above his head, gradually lost his mind …
