I'm just a dude

The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in the capital are similar to those in Yangzhou. From the beginning of May, every household starts sweeping the house, planting mugwort, and hanging calamus.Men, women and children of all ages put on colorful clothes, and tied long-lived strands woven with five-color silk ribbons around their wrists.

Longevity Thread is also called Pi Bing Shao, which means that Pi Bing and ghosts will prevent people from getting sick.Qi Yuan also wore this when he was in Yangzhou, but his family regarded him as a child, so every time he made a long string and hung it around his neck, with gold-embellished little tigers and gourds underneath to coax him to play.

This time in Zhongyuan Bo's mansion, Mrs. Peng naturally sent someone to send a colorful thread.Qi Yuan was slipping a long string and was thinking about how to wrap it around his neck when he heard someone joking outside, but it was Yun Lan who approached with a smile on his face.

Not seeing her for the past few days, Yun Lan has become taller and taller, and her cheeks are thinner than before.The bridge of her nose was originally taller than that of ordinary women, but now her brows and eyes are gradually opening, her eyes are clear and sharp, and the tails of her eyes are raised, which adds to her beauty.

Qi Yuan was so surprised that he looked her up and down several times.

Yun Lan raised her eyebrows and looked back, and couldn't help laughing, "Why, I haven't seen you in half a month, don't you know me?"

"It's true that I don't dare to admit it." Qi Yuan stood up and compared with her, seeing that they were about the same height, he immediately stared and said "Hey", "What did you eat? How did you grow so fast!"

The ghost knows how much he wants to grow up quickly, every time he talks to Fang Chenghe and Xu Yu, he has to raise his head, it's too imposing!

Yun Lan laughed: "I begged for the fairy talisman, wouldn't it grow fast? Well, there's yours too!"

After speaking, he smiled and took out a colored rope made of multicolored threads, but it was much more delicate than Peng's, with a pair of small and lovely cherries on it, which was very festive.

"Taoist temples and temples haven't started to disperse the talismans yet. After two days, I will tie them up when I have the talismans." Yun Lan tied him around his wrist, thought for a while and smiled, "It's easy to ask for talismans this time. Just buy the sachets you made yourself, no need to buy them from outside."

"That's a good idea." Qi Yuan raised his hand to look at the colorful rope, and laughed, "Take all the sachets with you, and sell them at the door for a while. Which side sells well shows which side is effective, and when the time comes If you ask for a talisman, you will recognize that one."

The brothers and sisters were very happy when they talked about silver.This time they made a lot of fragrant pills, and they will go to the market early tomorrow morning.It's just that they are not merchants, so I'm afraid they still need to ask other stall owners for help this time, and sell them along the way.

Naturally, a girl like Yun Lan doesn't like to show her face in public, so this time, Qi Yuan and Hu Fu went there.Naturally, Qi Yuan wouldn't just go for a sale this time, he wanted to see if he could find a stall owner who would help him sell the goods for a long time in the future, and then he could share some of the profits with the other party.

It's just that you have to find someone who is honest and honest.Qi Yuan has confidence in his own incense recipes and craftsmanship, and now he sells high-grade incense at mid-grade prices, so he will soon gather some regular customers.

But their current fragrances are all handmade by themselves. There is neither an exclusive logo nor a special packaging box. It's not good if it lures away customers.

The three maids around Qi Yuan, Hu Fu's age is considered relatively smart, but they are only twelve or thirteen years old, and the girl's family, let her go outside all day to watch the business, Qi Yuan is not at ease.

Yun Lan didn't expect that he would have to do it for a long time, so she couldn't help asking: "The township examination will be in August, and the general examination will be in February next year. Where did you find the time to do this, big brother?"

Qi Yuan said: "It's not troublesome to do these things. I come back twice a month, and I just need to do more. Anyway, I don't need to go to sell goods, so what can be wasted?"

Yun Lan hesitated and said: "That's the case... But you still have to take the imperial examination, our family hasn't reached that point yet, has it?"

"That's because you don't understand. There are too many places to spend money, and they are all big heads." Qi Yuan was thinking about going out to buy a house earlier, frowned, and waved, "You don't have to worry about this, and you can't. "

"I can't control this. I have to remind my brother about other things." Yun Lan suddenly coughed lightly.

Qi Yuan looked at her without knowing why, and saw a little maid hurriedly brought over a bamboo holding box, the holding box was patterned with pumpkins, although it was made of bamboo, it was very delicate.

Qi Yuan lifted the lid suspiciously, but inside were eight neatly arranged zongzi.

"Sister Fu sent them specially selected chestnut rice dumplings." Yun Lan looked at him with a smile, "I don't know who has such a unique taste, but loves chestnut rice dumplings, and it's lucky that someone remembers it every year. There are not many chestnut rice dumplings in Yuxianlou, she snatched them all and gave them away."

Qi Yuan was confused when he heard it, but when he waited later, he understood.

Originally loves to eat zongzi with chestnuts?

But what happened to this sister Fu!

When Yun Lan mentioned Sister Fu before, Qi Yuan only thought of her as her little sister, but now this person even gave herself rice dumplings, and specially gave them this kind every year...

Yun Lan looked at him meaningfully.

Qi Yuan was startled, and stared dumbfounded at the little zongzi.

This... This original body... Could it be that she has made a private appointment with another girl for life?

Yun Lan only thought that he was moved, and waved the little girl and Hu Fu down to play, and when everyone had left, she sighed and said to Qi Yuan: "Brother, you used to be so fierce, even though I was a substitute for Fu My sister has given things to me a few times, but I didn't dare to ask anything. But this time it's different. Sister Fu made a ceremony the day before yesterday, and she was Princess Xian's official guest. Now, within two days, someone came to propose marriage, including Xu Hanlin family, Shi Shilang’s family, and He’s family.”

Xu Hanlin's family belonged to the noble literati school. Although the family background was not rich enough, the family style was very upright.The He family is the He family in the capital city, half an imperial merchant, rich enough to rival a country.Both of these two families are talking about marriage for their own sons.

Shi Shilang refers to Shi Yuchong, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and his family refers to his grandson Shi Qinglun.This Shi Qinglun Qi Yuan has an impression, he has a fat head and big ears, and he follows Ruan Hong all day long.But no matter what, he is also the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. If the Minister of the Ministry of Officials can enter the cabinet, then his grandfather will definitely be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

It's common for a family to have a hundred girls, but this is the first time I've seen such an exaggerated Qi Yuan.

If this matter has nothing to do with him, he really wants to sigh, this sister Fu is not a fairy!

But now...

"You, what do you mean?" Qi Yuan looked terrified.

Yun Lan is straightforward, and she was stunned when she heard the words: "Aren't you planning to propose marriage?"

"Am I going to propose??" Qi Yuan jumped up in shock, and asked with staring eyes, "When did I plan?"

Yun Lan didn't expect him to say this, she opened her mouth, but didn't react for a long time.

Qi Yuan didn't know what was going on, he didn't even know who Sister Fu was, so he went to propose?Even if you kill him, you won't go!

"Brother, are you worried that you won't be able to make up the dowry?" Yun Lan hurriedly said, "The Fu family likes you very much. In the past two years, our family has had a hard time, and Mrs. Fu has been helping secretly. Isn't it just because she likes you as her grandson-in-law? Is it? What’s more, I’m just going to ask for a marriage right now, and I’m not going to marry right away. Our family can collect a dowry after all. Waiting for you to go to high school next year, and then give Sister Fu an imperial wife to come back, isn’t it better than anything else?”

Qi Yuan stared at her dumbfounded, then waved his hands back again and again, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Yun Lan comforted her for a while, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Brother..." Yun Lan was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "You won't... regret the marriage?"

She was short-tempered, seeing that Qi Yuan was silent, she stood up abruptly, "Sister Fu is the one who won't marry you!"

"I don't know her!" Qi Yuan panicked, and simply called out, "I, I don't even know who you, Sister Fu are!"

"what?!"

"I don't have any impression of her at all." Qi Yuan doesn't want to be forced to marry a daughter-in-law, it's fine to raise a younger sister for the original owner's old mother, what's the matter with raising a daughter-in-law?He simply said, "Since I fell into the water, I don't recognize many people. Whose family is this sister Fu you are talking about?"

Yun Lan stared wide-eyed: "Have you forgotten?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuan said awkwardly, "When I just woke up, didn't I even recognize you and mother?"

When Qi Yuan just woke up, he really didn't recognize anyone.At that time Yun Lan and his mother went to see him, Qi Yuan took them as servants and asked where they were from.For this reason, Peng cried for many days.

Yun Lan was also frightened now.

"I really forgot, I don't even know who she is." Qi Yuan hurriedly said, "If you have time, you should advise her to choose a good family quickly, and don't count on me. There are so many people asking for kisses, she You can choose carefully. Of course, let’s forget about that Fatty Shi, he is ugly and frustrated, not a good thing.”

"But you two are childhood sweethearts, Sister Fu has been..." Yun Lan paused for a while, unable to continue.After all, she is the daughter of the boudoir, and she could not have said this matter originally, but she was afraid that the maids would be sloppy, so she did this outrageous thing.But there are some words that are difficult for her to say.

Qi Yuan made up his mind and refused to admit it, but now his mind was spinning, and he suddenly wondered: "Didn't I study in the mansion all the time before? How did I know someone else's girl?"

Thinking of that beautiful woman, Yun Lan couldn't help but her eyes turned red: "In the past few years, you have only met twice, both of which were on my birthday. Sister Fu came to play, and you happened to pass by and catch a glimpse. The other things are every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. , Sister Fu sent chestnut rice dumplings."

But Qi Yuan seldom talks and hardly goes forward, these two "coincidences" are too coincidental.It's just that she has always been afraid of this brother, so she didn't dare to inquire about anything.

Yun Lan probably wanted Qi Yuan to remember a thing or two, and it was too early to see her, so she explained the ins and outs of Qi Yuan's acquaintance with Miss Fu.

Qi Yuan kept shaking his head and sighing while listening, this story is much more beautiful than the one in the storybook, but it's a pity that he failed others because of his short life.He is determined not to marry that girl, it's so boring to be a lady!If you want to find it yourself, you must find someone who can juggle and have fun with you!

When Yun Lan told these past events, she did not forget to carefully observe Qi Yuan's expression.However, there was no trace of friendship on Qi Yuan's face, and his face was full of excitement from listening to the excitement.This made her very sad.

When they got back to their yard, Yun Lan couldn't help thinking secretly, it's normal for the elder brother to only hear sister Fu's name now, but he can't remember it, if Duan Wu finds a way to get them to meet, maybe they can have an impression?Even if I still can't remember, for a beauty like Sister Fu, it's not necessarily true that my elder brother will fall in love again after seeing her.

She secretly planned over there, but Qi Yuan didn't know it.In the early morning of the next day, he packed some of the fragrant pills and fragrant cakes he had made into jars, brought fragrant noodles and sachets, and went to the market early with Hufu and the others.

During the few days of the Dragon Boat Festival, the market is relatively loose, because temples and Taoist temples will give away magic charms to everyone, so in addition to the fixed market streets, there are also hawkers in front of the temples.Money peddlers in temples and Taoist temples are looser. Qi Yuan made up his mind to go there on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, so he went straight to Xingbu Street first.

Hufu still went to find the stall owner who helped last time.The stall owner still remembered her, and greeted her warmly when they met: "Miss, you are here, you don't know how many people have come to me to look for you in the past two months!"

Hu Fu was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

The stall owner smiled and said: "It's not that your fragrant balls taste so good, I want to buy some more! My mother-in-law burned a small piece of the fragrant pancake you gave me, and she couldn't bear it any more. During the holidays, I will use it when someone at home visits. Hey girl, do you still have your fragrant pancakes? My brother will buy you some, and it will be fine if you give me more money..."

Although Hufu sold well that day, he never expected the effect to be so good. Surprised and delighted, he hurriedly glanced into the distance and said to the stall owner: "To be honest, Brother Sun, this time I am looking for you , I wonder if I can sell some more with you."

"Yes! Yes!" The stall owner agreed repeatedly, and said overjoyed, "I can't even look forward to it all day long!"

Hu Fu smiled, thanked the people, and then went out with the stall owner, and brought Qi Yuan's car in.

This time Qi Yuan didn't bring many, but he brought two small jars of each fragrance, two jars of fragrant noodles, and a big bunch of sachets.

The stall owner didn't expect the little girl to have an owner. Seeing that although Qi Yuan had a young figure, but he was handsome, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, he was indeed a pampered young man. There was a sense of alienation on his face.

Qi Yuan pretended he hadn't seen it, and after he had put everything in order, he took a sachet in the shape of a little tiger, first smiled and bowed to the stall owner, and then said gently, "Brother Sun, I brought a little tiger here for the kid." , the inside is clam powder, which can absorb sweat, do you think he likes it?"

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, they deal with people all day long in business, and there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing, so young masters like this probably disdain to talk to their lowly merchants, and even those young servants under him will look at them people.This young man is so handsome and cute, and even bowed to him...

The stall owner was flattered, bowed hurriedly, rubbed his hands on his body, thanked him, and took the little tiger's sachet.

The child in his family is only four or five years old. When he saw this delicately embroidered sachet, his eyes straightened, but he didn't dare to move. Now that his father took the things over, he knew it was for himself, so he hurriedly cheered , grabbed it in my hand, and watched it fondly.

Qi Yuan looked at the child and laughed, until the face of other children turned red, he turned around, took a small folding fan to fan the wind, and was about to sell his things.

As the sun rose gradually, there were more and more pedestrians in the market.

Hu Fu just pretended to be her young master and came to have a look, and when she saw that the market was starting to serve customers, she borrowed a stool from the stall owner and asked Qi Yuan to sit and rest behind.

Who knew that Qi Yuan not only didn't sit down, but rolled up his sleeves, flicked the small folding fan, and yelled loudly.

"Everyone, young and old, girls and boys! Real gold is not afraid of fire, and good products are not afraid of people's eyes! You go this way..." He took the incense spoon while yelling, and picked out a little incense powder from the jar, Blowing on the street, "This incense can deodorize and regulate qi, and can avoid miasma. Duanyang needs its help..."

The young man's voice is clear and sweet, he doesn't know where he learned the jingle, and he sings in a clear and clear way.Hufu and the stall owners were stunned, and people in the distance stretched their necks and watched, trying to see what was going on.

Qi Yuan's face was also a little hot.People in business talk about people and talk about people, how can anyone wait for customers in the market with airs?It is their Qi Mansion, if they are selling things outside in the market, they must shout.These librettos are all familiar to Xiangpu Xiaoer, sometimes they are for selling goods, sometimes they are about the rules of the road, they are all sold like this, and it is also lively to listen to.

He was a little embarrassed when he first opened his mouth, but thinking of the white money, he went all out.

The market had just opened, and a group of people had gathered at the stalls here. Those with sharp eyes had bought their things again, and they squeezed to the front without saying a word, calling for some fragrant pills or fragrant cakes.

Hu Fu and the two little maids were busy ordering goods and collecting money, Qi Yuan saw that the yelling was good, so he simply moved the stool and continued.

Xu Yu went to Dali Temple to do some business that day.Dali Temple was supposed to be on vacation that day, and several colleagues who were helping him had to buy some sachets for his family when they came out. Xu Yu followed him on a whim.

However, after walking not far inside, I saw a certain stall in front of it was crowded with people.

And Qi Yuan, who lives with him all day and has a temper like a young master, is wiping his sweat and bending over to talk to someone: "What are you asking? This? This is a golden retriever. Golden retrievers specialize in To avoid the five poisons, dried papaya can remove sweat stains... Your eyes are the gemstones, and your mouth is the touchstone, here to give you some exquisiteness..."

The young boy picked some incense with the spoon, and blew it with a "poof", the incense powder scattered and splashed on the man's face.The man laughed cheerfully.

The young man in the fragrance mist smiled, his eyes turned, and unexpectedly turned to him, and the fancy little face covered in fragrance powder was taken aback for a moment.

The author has something to say:

Xu Ting: My daughter-in-law is working so hard...

Ps:

Sister Fu is not Lei~ don’t worry (⊙v⊙)
