    At dusk, She Shu was walking back with a pound of meat and a few packets of shortbread cookies under her arm. When passing through a secluded alley, she noticed someone following her, and she remembered that Pei Jing had been there earlier.  The warning from the Kong Family Yi Guan was secretly alarmed. Why were there still people following her? Could it be that seeing her and Pei Jing going in and out together didn't make them give up?  The footsteps behind him suddenly became rapid. Seeing that there was an alley in front of him and a lively market outside, Yu Shu, who was walking slowly, suddenly ran forward. A piece of raw meat in his hand shook, and a series of footsteps also sounded behind him.  , someone is indeed chasing her!  Kick and kick, her eyes lit up, and she ran out of the alley, ignoring the small muffled sounds behind her, and got into the crowd like a fish, running towards the lively Changmenpu Street, not daring to look back, so  She didn't see it. A moment after she ran out, a tall figure wearing a bamboo hat walked out of the alley and looked quietly at the direction in which she disappeared.  By the side of a rotten ditch in the alley, two people were lying motionless in the puddle, and a rough dagger fell from the wall.  In Mianzhai, Cao Zixin was sorting out the papers on the bookshelf that had been messed up by guests. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure rushing in. He turned around and saw Yu Shu, dressed in a blue shirt and with a hairband on his forehead, leaning over the counter to breathe.  He hurriedly put down the things in his hands, walked over and asked, "What's wrong, running in such a hurry?" Yu Shu swallowed, handed him the raw meat in his hand, and said with uneven breath: "Just now, someone kicked me out just now.  , Fortunately, I, I ran fast, phew!" Cao Zixin's eyebrows tightened, and his voice dropped slightly: "Who is chasing you?" Yu Shu put the shortbread under his arm on the counter, walked around him and sat on the counter.  On the high stool at the back, Zi Gu poured a cup of tea and drank it. He wiped his mouth and waved his hands: "It's okay. I've just had a few nights. Oh, by the way, Brother Cao, let me ask you, have you heard of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce?"  "Reputation?" Cao Zixin was still thinking about who was chasing her. When he heard her asking about the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, he didn't have much reaction. He just said casually: "That is the largest chamber of commerce in Yiyang City. There are several big merchants in the city."  He has a good reputation." Yu Shu turned the cup in his hand and asked, "Have you heard about the deputy manager there named Pei Jing? He is in his forties and is very good at calculating."  Are you talking about Mr. Pei?" Cao Zixin was attracted by her words. He walked around the counter and put the meat in his hand on the nail beside the table, saying: "There are only five great fortune tellers in Yiyang City, and Pei Jing is one of them.  "What is that?" Yu Shu heard another new word.  Cao Zixin said: "In order to select good talents for the Yi science, the imperial court will hold a Dayan examination every three years in the capital. Among the subjects of the Yi science, there is arithmetic. Those who get the top 100 in the exam will be crowned as great mathematicians.  , the top three can be called Operators, and those who pass the Astrology, Feng Shui, and Calculation subjects successively, and those who can pass two of them will be called Great Yi Masters. " "Is that so powerful?" Yu  It was not the first time that Shu heard about the Great Evolution Examination in the imperial court, but it was the first time that he knew that there were many ways to do it.  "There are even more powerful ones," Cao Zixin's eyes shone slightly and he said with admiration: "If someone can get the top three in all three subjects, he will be honored as 'Yi Zi', and the emperor will add his name personally. However, it is too rare to get the top three in three subjects."  , only two people have appeared in the past hundred years, one is Qingyang Yizi sixty years ago, and the other is Yunhua Yizi twenty years ago. These two people are both amazing and beautiful people in Yi Ke.  It is really capable of judging life and death, and predicting misfortunes and blessings, but it is a pity that it is just a flash in the pan, and then passes away." Yu Shu listened intently, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why is it said to be a flash in the pan?" Cao Zixin sighed: "Yun Huayi was like that.  The son and the eldest princess of the late emperor had a good relationship, but less than two years after their marriage, the eldest princess died of illness, and Yunhua Yizi died in love with him. The story of the two is a touching love story for future generations.  Yu Shu tasted the story and said, "This Yunhua Yizi is a very passionate person." Cao Zixin nodded, probably feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he laughed and said, "I've told you so much.  , you haven¡¯t told me why you want to ask about Pei Jing from the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce?¡± Yu Shu scratched his chin, ¡°I met him today, and he asked me to go to the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce to help with the accounts.¡± Cao Zixin said in surprise:  "I'm asking you to do the accounting?" Yu Shu could hear the disbelief in his words, and pretended to be unhappy: "Can't you ask me like this?" Cao Zixin shook his head: "I mean he is so good at recruiting you, do you know him?  ?¡± ¡°We just met today,¡± Yu Shu thought for a moment, and then told her about her gambling in the gambling house that morning and how she met Pei Jing. It wasn¡¯t until she finished telling that she realized that Cao Zixin looked bad.  "Brother Cao?" Cao Zixin endured it, but still couldn't help but lectured: "What are you, a girl, doing in a place like that?"Seeing that the good-tempered Cao Zixin was angry, Yu Shu shrank his neck. He knew in his heart that she was reckless today, so he said softly: "I didn't know that was a gambling shop. Didn't I know it only after I went in? Everyone is there."  I was betting on numbers, and I knew how to do that topic, so I just bet a few times. I was cautious and didn¡¯t dare to win too much. I didn¡¯t think I would get caught.¡± If others get angry with her, she may not pay attention.  , but Cao Zixin was different. This man gave her a hand when she was in the most difficult time and helped her again and again. She didn¡¯t say too much, but she was full of gratitude in her heart. She called him Brother Cao, which was sincere.  .  Cao Zixin frowned, remembering what happened when she hurried back before, "You said someone was chasing you because of this?"  It would make things difficult for me. Who would have thought that they would still try to take advantage of me? It seems that his face is not that great." Seeing that she didn't look remorseful and complained about others, Cao Zixin said angrily: "You are not allowed to go to that kind of place again.  Just call me when you get to Wanxiang Street. " "Oh" Yu Shu agreed on the surface, but I don't know what he was thinking.  "I'll clean up the store and close it. I'll take you to Aunt Hui's place to eat wontons later." Cao Zixin said. Ever since Yu Shu started calling Zhao Hui Aunt Hui, he also changed his name. He just turned twenty this year, and Zhao  Hui is twelve years older than him, so it's not wrong to call him this way.  "I'm here to help you." Yu Shu jumped down from the stool. Unexpectedly, his legs went weak and he fell forward. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Cao Zixin's waist from behind, and bumped his forehead against his waist.  on the back.  "Ah" The weather in April was very warm. Cao Zixin only wore two single clothes, with two slender arms hanging tightly around his waist. The small cry, the hot breath blew through the clothes and blew on his back.  There seemed to be something scratching lightly on his heart, causing his body to stiffen. He lowered his head and reached for his waist. When he was about to touch the two thin white wrists that exposed his sleeves, the person behind him twitched first.  After opening it, he heard Yu Shu's muttering and realized that he had just lost his composure.  "Brother Cao, is your back made of stone? It knocked me to death." Yu Shu stood upright while holding on to the counter, lowered his head and rubbed his forehead and complained softly. Cao Zixin coughed and said, "Sit down and wait for me." "Yes."  Yu Shu responded, and after Cao Zixin went around to erect the door panel, he put down the hand on his forehead, revealing a hot red face, turned his head and took a peek at Cao Zixin's straight back, secretly spat at himself, feeling depressed about the embarrassing behavior just now.  For a moment.  After closing the shop, it was just darkening. Cao Zixin and Yu Shu went to Zhao Hui's wonton stall for dinner. No need to greet them, Zhao Hui brought them a bowl of chicken soup wontons.  Yu Shu opened the paper package of the shortbread, took a piece and handed it to Cao Zixin, and broke off another piece to feed Zhao Hui who was boiling the pot: "Aunt Hui, try it, this is a shortbread sold on Wanxiang Street, it will still be better after being stored for a long time.  "It's crispy." Zhao Hui looked at her with a smile, turned around and took a bite. There was a crunch in her mouth, and her heart was crispy. She had been alone for too long, and since she had this child as her companion, her hard work had become more interesting.  Someone would accompany her when she went out to the stall in the morning and evening, and he would always be there whether it was windy or rainy. He would not mind her nagging and would often make her happy. It seemed like she had an extra daughter following her, who was well-behaved and sensible "Aunt Hui, I'll buy it."  It¡¯s going to rain tomorrow. If you don¡¯t leave the stall, I¡¯ll call Xiao Xiu. Let¡¯s eat at home, okay?¡± Zhao Hui asked curiously, ¡°Where do you get the money to buy meat?¡± Although most of the wontons Zhao Hui bought were filled with meat.  But I don¡¯t eat meat very often. The chickens I raise at home are all used to make soup stock, so I don¡¯t eat them very often.  Yu Shu stammered immediately, not wanting to lie to her, but also afraid of worrying her by telling her about her gambling.  "I gave her a share of my wages," Cao Zixin said. "She often comes to the store to help me. I can't let her do it for nothing." "That's right, Brother Cao gave me a share of my wages," Yu Shu said quickly  Yingying secretly gave Cao Zixin a look of praise.  Cao Zixin glanced at her with a smile, pointed at her bowl of wontons with a spoon, "Come and eat, it's time to cool down." "Okay," Yu Shu was afraid that Zhao Hui would ask again, so he retreated to the table and faced the stove  Zhao Hui, who was standing next to her, said, "Aunt Hui, I'll help you wash the dishes after dinner." Zhao Hui nodded. Although she was a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions.  While eating, Yu Shu asked Cao Zi about the Xin Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, explained Pei Jing¡¯s invitation in detail, and asked him for advice.  Cao Zixin pondered for a while and then said: "If you really want to learn skills, Taiheng Chamber of Commerce is indeed a good place. However, he may have other thoughts when he suddenly asks you to do accounts. So, I will accompany you tomorrow."  Go see Mr. Pei and help you find out the depth of the water. " He is willing to help check the water. Yu Shu can only ask for it. Cao Zixin is a knowledgeable person and knows a lot. With him here, he will not suffer.??It's just that he didn't have a waiter in the store, so he followed her there. How could Mian Zhai open the door?  Yu Shu hesitated and said: "Then you won't be open for business tomorrow?" Cao Zixin pointed to the sky and said jokingly: "Who said just now that it will rain tomorrow? Huh?"
