After class, Master Liu left homework for everyone and let them review the book by themselves.
Outside the door, Tao Xiude just strolled around the private school when Master Liu came out and said to him, "Let's have a light meal together!"
"Uncle Liu, I have eaten with Brother Liu Xian just now, it's alright. , you're busy, I'll just go shopping." Tao Xiude smiled.
Master Liu stared, "He's making a fool of himself! How can there be such a reason to treat guests like this? Besides, even if you eat, will the people behind you eat too? Let's go!"
Tao Xiude said politely, but only Nodding and saying yes, and going out with Master Liu, Tao Xiude thought that Master Liu would take him into the humble little restaurant opposite the private school. It was barely a restaurant! In the countryside, Tao Xiude is not too picky.
But Master Liu didn't plan to go in. Tao Xiude was a little strange, but he didn't ask, but Master Liu explained, "This family is so stinky, even the food is stinky! Humph!"
"Ah, that's it!" Tao Xiude nodded silently, with a smile on his face, followed Master Liu into a small alley and entered the restaurant of Du Qingchen's house.
He doesn't pick, doesn't pick... Tao Xiude smiled and looked at the small restaurant in this small alley. He was mentally prepared long before he came here. Uncle Liu is just an ordinary country master, even if he is entertaining guests There won't be a particularly good place to entertain him, and it's not that he hasn't eaten roadside shops, nothing.
Not only him, but the expressions of the servants behind him also changed slightly. They were still smiling and looked humble. You must know that when they were in the provincial capital, they were servants of the Tao family. Yes, when have you ever entered such a shabby little restaurant? !
"Qingchen, prepare two clean tables for us, and get some of your specialty dishes. You can cook it yourself!" Master Liu stroked his beard and said to a young man who was talking to a guest as soon as he entered the door.
Tao Xiude looked up, only to feel that this man was handsome and clear, with a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze, neither humble nor pretentious, as if everyone he faced came to visit To make friends, people unconsciously feel good.
Du Qingchen glanced at Tao Xiude, glanced at his clothes, his face did not change in the slightest, he still smiled warmly, while other customers in the store saw Tao Xiude and his party, either looked at them curiously, or checked out and left, or even left. There are also some greedy eyes, in short, they are all sleazy. In contrast, Tao Xiude's impression of Du Qingchen is better.
"Master, this son, please take a seat, the other little brothers are here." Du Qingchen glanced at him and knew that the son who was dressed in luxurious clothes and a jade crown was Master Liu's guest, and the others were dressed even more than ordinary people in the town. The person who was much better was the servant of that son.
The servant immediately wiped the chairs for Tao Xiude and Master Liu, but no dust was wiped off. Tao Xiude took a big look and saw that although the restaurant was simple, it was cleaned very cleanly, and there was no smell of oil smoke. The owner of the store seems to be an elegant person, and there are a few potted plants placed in the corner. Although it is not a precious variety, it has a fresh air.
Tao Xiude's impression of this restaurant suddenly improved a lot. No wonder Master Liu brought him here. Tao Xiude said to Master Liu, "Uncle, although this place is simple, it is really a good place. The so-called mountains are not there. Gao, if there are immortals, there are spirits, the water is not deep, if there are dragons, there are spirits. This is a shabby house, but I Dexin. This place has my uncle coming often, so it can be called noble and clean."
Master Liu smiled, "You are I can praise people, but I can't afford such a good name, this place is elegant, and it's because of the boss, it has nothing to do with me, Qingchen, others praise you, why don't you say something?" Master Liu stroked his beard. .
Du Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then stopped the movement of cleaning the tabletop tea set, and smiled at Tao Xiude, "Thank you for your praise, but the shop really doesn't dare to compare itself with the shabby house in poetry, I have neither books nor piano here, just a novice. It's just a stinky place for business."
Seeing that Du Qingchen seemed to understand the meaning of the verse in his words, and could respond to him with the content behind the poem, Tao Xiude was both surprised and applauded, and turned to Master Liu, obviously a little puzzled, why even a restaurant owner in the countryside knew this. .
Master Liu was proud in his heart, but his expression was blaming, "You also know that you are a place of shame! So let you read more books and get more literate, and give me shirk every time."
"Master, I You're wronged!" Du Qingchen put on an aggrieved look, "I'm going to get married in a few days, and I'm usually busy with business, so I don't have time to read and write! When I'm free, I'll definitely ask the Master for advice. "Master, don't think I'm annoying."
"Every time you bring something you made yourself, even if you come to ask for advice three times a day, I don't think you're annoying." Master Liu said with a smile.
"The relationship is good, Master, don't forget what you said in the future, don't go back on it!" Du Qingchen chuckled.
After Du Qingchen asked Master Liu what he wanted to eat, he went to the kitchen to make it himself. Outside, Tao Xiude saw that the boss had an excellent relationship with Master Liu, and asked curiously.
Master Liu told Tao Xiude about the ordering of takeaways from his private school, and added: "Although he doesn't read much, he has a delicate mind, a smart man, and a benevolent heart. You can see his family background by looking at his clothes. He is poor, but even so, he still respects scholars and is willing to reduce or exempt the meals for poor students, not even for fame and fortune."
"That's it!" Tao Xiude felt a little strange, but he couldn't think of it for a while. Don't think about it, but his impression of Du Qingchen is really much better, he is really a good person.
Master Liu said again: "Do you know why I don't like the restaurant opposite the private school?"
"I don't know, little nephew." Tao Xiude made the right curiosity.
Master Liu sighed and said, "The location of the restaurant used to be the location of the Du family's restaurant, but the owner of the restaurant saw that the private school was very well located opposite the door, and it was a place to make money, so he took away the Du family's ancestral restaurant. , Du Qingchen had no choice but to sell his ancestral property, and then moved to this secluded alley."
Tao Xiude frowned slightly, "I can't imagine that there is such a vicious tyrant in the countryside, and the county magistrate doesn't care?"
"Normal business, where is it? Can you manage it? Besides, the troublemaker is also a local ruffian. Even if he hurts the Du family, he can't catch up with the restaurant owner. The businessman is shrewd!" Master Liu shook his head, "That's all. The Du family has a sum of money, he is not vicious, but recently, I have heard..."
"Master, please drink some mountain fruit water to moisten your throat!" Du Qingchen came out with a kettle and poured water for the two of them. , there is no good tea in his shop, so this young man is not used to drinking inferior tea, so he should come with something fresh.
The red and steaming tea was poured into the cup, which really aroused Tao Xiude's curiosity, "What is this, the color is actually red."
"It's a kind of fruit in the mountains, the son is a nobleman, maybe it's not clear. The tea is sweet and sour, you are used to drinking it?"
"Sweet and sour is fine." Tao Xiude took a sip, the mouth was really sweet and sour, even though he was only satisfied, Tao Xiude also sighed, "Good tea!"
"Young master is joking." Du Qingchen pursed his lips and held back a smile, as if he could see Tao Xiude's exaggeration.
Tao Xiude was not embarrassed, he laughed.
Master Liu asked at the same time, "Is it still going well on the way from your store to the private school?"
"It's going well, Master don't have to worry." Du Qingchen chuckled.
"How can I not worry, I heard people say that someone is going to intercept the guy you sent to deliver meals, trying to make trouble and not let you do business in the private school." Master Liu frowned.
Tao Xiude's expression also lightened, and he looked at Du Qingchen.
Du Qingchen said: "Master, don't worry, I'm not a child, if anyone bullies me, I will find a way to protect myself."
"What can you do! If you had a way, how could you be seriously injured by those gangsters? You have to accept your fate, let your younger brother support you, and sell your ancestral property on the street!" Speaking of this, Master Liu sighed.
Seeing this, Tao Xiude had no choice but to say, "What can I do to help?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but in this world, if you can't get rid of the grass and roots, helping me is hurting me. I have my own way to protect myself. ." Du Qingchen lowered his eyes and whispered.
The people in the store have almost gone in this short period of time. After all, not everyone can stand up to Tao Xiude. At first glance, it is the pressure of the nobles. Sitting in the restaurant to eat with peace of mind, Du Qingchen speaks boldly. some.
This person, the more you talk to him, the more interesting he will be able to discover. Tao Xiude's expression darkens, but it is not obvious.
At first, he just thought this store was interesting, the owner is a nice person, and after chatting with Du Qingchen a few words, he knew that he was from a poor family who had read books, but he was not interested, but showed a lot of praise. , just to make Master Liu happy.
Later, until Du Qingchen just said, 'If you can't cut the grass and root, helping him will hurt him,'. Tao Xiude naturally understands this truth, but he also knows that there are not many people in this world who understand this truth, and the shop owner is a very transparent and intelligent person.
Master Liu sighed: "You...why are you so stubborn! Sigh..."
Master Liu deliberately brought Tao Xiude and said this in front of him, which meant that he wanted to help. He had already taken Du Qingchen Just like Du Rulin, his proud disciple is Du Rulin who is talented, and Du Qingchen who is virtuous. In the eyes of Master Liu, the two have different directions of development.
Tao Xiude also probably understood the reason for what happened today, but he was not angry with Master Liu. He just understood more and more. What his father said, your uncle Liu has a straightforward and simple temperament, which is really not suitable for the meaning of officialdom, but this way people, the father is willing to make friends, and he is also willing.
Thinking of this, Tao Xiude thought of Liu Tai, the son of Master Liu, who is also upright and has no heart. If he looks for a friend, he is a knife in both sides. It is also possible. Such a person is too suitable to be Are you friends? Tao Xiude wanted to stay for two more days.
