Chapter 194 Becoming a Taoist Friend

"By the way, the procedures for selling storybooks..." He paused for a moment, changed his self-identity in his heart, and then continued, "I have already completed all the procedures."

"But I have changed some contents in the book you gave me. You can see if there are no problems. If there are no problems, I can start selling it after printing it."

Pei Luoshu said as he stood up and brought the notebook he had corrected to Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi was surprised: "So fast."

Except for the time she came with Jiang Sheng, she also found excuses to come. Last time, Pei Luoshu said that the procedures would not be completed in ten and a half days.

Pei Luoshu came over with Qiao Zhi's handwritten book and explained: "It's not my fault, it's my boss who helped me."

He gave the notebook in his hand to Qiao Zhi: "Look at it after correction."

Qiao Zhi took it and turned it over. When she reached a third of the page, she thought for a moment and pointed to a place: "Would it be a little strange to write it like this here?"

Pei Luoshu pondered and then said: "Because this person is a scholar, and he is a scholar whose family is poor and has not been in high school for many years. He should be timid when facing the girl he loves, so I think the original sentence was too straightforward.

"

"Too."

Qiao Zhi thought it made sense and turned another page. The paper made a slight sound when rubbed.

Suddenly, without any warning, she turned her head and asked with a smile: "Would you be timid if it were you?"

The girl in front of him looked at him with an unconcealed gaze, and Pei Luoshu was caught off guard and was startled.

After a moment, he lowered his head slightly: "...I am no longer a scholar, unlike the situation in the storybook."

Not only is it different, it's even worse.

The scholar never gave up on the road to the imperial examination. At the end of the story, in Drama High School, he married the girl who had been waiting for him for five years and went home.

But the storybook is just a storybook after all. How can anything be so easy in the world? It is not uncommon for people to study until the age of fifty or sixty and not even become a scholar. What's more, even if he can guarantee that he will be like the people in the book for three to five years.

How could he have the dignity to ask others to wait for him for so long if he was admitted to the imperial examination?

It's not that he's timid, he just doesn't dare to think about it.

Pei Luoshu changed the subject: "Take another look. If there are no problems, I will find someone to start printing."

Qiao Zhi just asked casually, and after hearing what was said, he continued to look at it seriously, and pointed out anything he felt was inappropriate.

The two stood opposite each other, with only a distance between them that could not accommodate them. There were only a few inaudible sounds of turning pages and low voices of discussion in the bookstore.

When Aunt Pei came over, she saw her son and a girl very close to each other.

The girl wears pearls on her hair and luxurious clothes. She is richer and richer than her other two daughters-in-law. And compared with the other two daughters-in-law, she has more of an aura of a scholarly family. At a glance, it is obvious

Born into a famous family.

Aunt Pei frowned secretly, stepped forward, and coughed twice.

"Mother?" Pei Luoshu looked up, a little surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"I think my own son can't do it?" Aunt Pei said angrily.

"Mom thought that you definitely didn't plan to have lunch today, and you couldn't eat hard buns all the time, so I packed the food for you and put it in a wooden bucket. It should still be warm."

As she said this, she put the barrel on the table and was about to open the lid and take out the food. Pei Luoshu hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, I have something else to do. Please leave it here first. I will remember to eat."

"Is there anything more important than eating?" Aunt Pei seemed to have just discovered Qiao Zhi's existence, her eyes were indifferent, "Who is this girl?"

Just now, Qiao Zhi was facing her sideways, but she hadn't noticed yet. Now when she took a closer look, the girl in front of her was not only covered in luxurious things, but also had an extremely beautiful face. Her little face was as white and tender as a shelled egg.

No flaws at all.

But what's the use of being good-looking? The daughter-in-law Xiao Shu marries must be a virtuous lady, and the most important thing is to be filial to her parents-in-law.

Otherwise, like the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law, who instigate their husband-in-law to ignore their father and mother, their family will not be able to afford it even if a fairy comes to earth.

Qiao Zhi didn't know what Aunt Pei was thinking. During the conversation between Pei Luoshu and Aunt Pei, he understood the identity of the other party. He raised a smile and replied: "Hello, Aunt Pei, I am... a friend of Mr. Pei."

friend?

Aunt Pei hummed in her heart: "Our little book is a man, but he is just a poor and humble person. We cannot bear the word girl."

"Mother!" Pei Luoshu felt something was wrong when he heard this and had no idea where his mother's hostility towards Qiao Zhi came from.

"What's wrong, did I say something wrong?" Aunt Pei frowned when she saw that her son seemed to be protecting outsiders, "A girl should stay at home and embroider to supplement the family income, and then go out and call a man a friend.

What the heck."

"What are you talking about!" Pei Luoshu put down his script and took a step forward, frowning slightly.

"I'm just a book seller. Miss Qiao called me a friend to give your son some face. How come you turned into such an inappropriate word?"

"What's more, there is no law in Daxia that stipulates that girls should stay at home without leaving the house..."

Pei Luoshu paused, pursed his lips and said, "What you said is a bit excessive."

Aunt Pei was in disbelief: "You yelled at me?!"

Pei Luoshu had a headache: "I don't."

How could he be called roaring?

"I am your mother. I have worked so hard to give birth to you and raise you up like this. Now, you are here to yell at your mother because of an outsider?! It's true that the son has grown up and cannot help his mother."

Aunt Pei didn't listen to his explanation and lamented: "You don't know, I was forced to work the day after I gave birth to you, and you couldn't bear to give even an egg to me before I was born.

Keep it and hide it for your short-lived aunt..."

"I had nothing to eat during the confinement period, so I had no milk. I fed you until you were this big with spoonfuls of rice soup."

She cried: "I worked hard to raise your two brothers without any help from others."

"It took so long for my daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law. I thought it was a blessing after all the hardships. But now your brother is being instigated by your sister-in-law and even after the separation, he refuses to see me!"

"Now do you want to learn from those heartless people and don't want to worry about me -"

"Mother——" Pei Luoshu saw that she was talking again and had no tendency to stop, so he had no choice but to interrupt.

"Why are you talking about these things again?"

It's not that he doesn't understand his mother's difficulties, it's just that he gets a little impatient after hearing too much, let alone in front of Qiao Zhi.

"I will definitely not ignore you, but your original words were too unreasonable..."

Pei Luoshu sighed.

Qiao Zhi was also a little embarrassed, not because of Aunt Pei's attitude towards her, but because she felt uncomfortable seeing this situation.

She originally thought that the person who taught Pei Luoshu was not only knowledgeable, but at least sensible... anyway, it was not like the woman in front of her.

She said softly: "Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Thank you for your words, and thank you for you."

Pei Lu Shu should be busy.

Suddenly it feels like they want be
