355 Chapter 355
Although Zeng Lao Er's temperament is good, but he looks really good, a mouth can also be called eloquent, plus after being an official eunuch, Yu is really a good person in the county, and his wife is married to the daughter of a wealthy merchant Wang family in the county.
This second sister-in-law is a generous person, when she saw Zeng Yi coming, she came over to greet her warmly, After the separation, for her, she was really comfortable, Before the pestle in front of her mother-in-law, a little movement, you can see the corners of the other party's disdainful mouth, and you feel ashamed.
"It's here, I've got the food here, come on, come on, come in and sit!" beckoned the little uncle to come in, and the second sister-in-law Wang told the maid to serve the food.
As a result, when the meal was served, Zeng Yi was stunned, the combination of white porridge and pickles, It's not impossible to say that it's dinner, but the hospitality, even if it's all your own family, seems to be too simple, even if it's multiple fried vegetables?
"Alas, I don't know the price of firewood and rice if I don't have a family, brother, I now understand the difficulty of the boss, I have to think about what to do at this time, I really don't dare to let go, don't dislike it, sit, sit. Zeng Lao Er greeted at the same time.
Zeng Yi sat down at the same time to see the costumes of Zeng Lao Er and his second sister-in-law, a simple farmhouse wind came to his face, and the patches on his clothes were really good to look at, I didn't know what to say, I didn't pay attention to it before, and I thought it was a pattern.
"Go, get some wine, I'll talk to my brother. β
"Okay, okay, I'll be right away, you two said slowly. β
Wine is the cheapest inferior wine, a bowl of coarse yellow, you can smell a little aroma, but it doesn't make people want to drink, Zeng Yi frowned, not because this wine is not good, but because of drinking and making mistakes, in the plot, the other party used this trick to make a lot of things, and it was still tried and tested.
After a perfunctory two sentences, he began to listen to Zeng Lao Er's business scriptures, in this regard, he really has some talent, at least listen to him say this, if you don't know, you will definitely think that the other party is a business expert, and then he pulled the topic to his own shop, and talked about the two shops that Zeng Yi was assigned to.
There are also two shops in Zeng Lao's family, one is a grocery store, which really has all kinds of groceries, and the other is a rice shop, and the income is not very good.
Zeng Yi is much better here, one shop is a rouge shop, a woman's money is always the best to earn regardless of ancient and modern, even if the shop is not very famous, but the quality of things is about the same, there are regular customers who are fixed, and the income is stable, and the other is a cloth shop, all kinds of cloth are still selling well, but if it is corrupted, it is a matter of the blink of an eye, originally relied on the connections of the Zeng family to buy goods from all over the world, but those were not distributed to him, and how to buy goods in the future is also to worry.
Zeng Lao Er is talking about this now, and he is worried about Zeng Yi in all aspects, and there are some places that Zeng Yi really didn't expect, such as the greasy cat that the rouge shop buys, and then Zeng Lao Er gave him an idea, saying that his brother can help him run it, and it is also convenient to live in the county, so he can keep an eye on those shopkeepers, and don't let the shopkeepers see his young age, and deceive him.
The words are very reasonable, the words are very sincere, and it looks like a deep brotherhood, but if you dig deeper, even if you don't look at the plot, Zeng Yi also knows that once this shop is handed over, the amount of income is up to the people, that is, he will pay every day, if he doesn't have the ability to take it back, he can only admit the money.
"My brother is already so difficult, how can I bear to let my brother bother anymore, my brother can rest assured, I have decided to rent out the shop, and I am talking to Master Fu, he has a relative at home who wants to do some business. β
Zeng Yi pulled the banner of the tiger skin, and did not hesitate to tell Master Fu, this matter is not nothing, Master Fu came with the county order, it stands to reason that he is not a snake in the third year, but although this county order has no connections, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is very stable, it has been six years, and there is no meaning to change places, so that Master Fu and an outsider have become the local population, and together with the relatives of the other party, they have become big households in the county.
Being able to have something to do with Master Fu is more or less involved in the county order, as soon as these words came out, Zeng Lao Er choked up, and almost didn't know how to say it.
"Oh, third brother, you are really confused, how can you rent out the shop? That kind of shop, the location is good, don't you make more money by doing it yourself?"
"Didn't the second brother say it just now, I don't know how to operate, it's easy to be deceived by the people below, and I don't know the channels for purchasing, so rent out, isn't it worry-free and effort-saving, it's good to get some rent every month, I'm not greedy, there is still land rent to collect at home, and there will be no food. β
Zeng Yi seemed to be very arrogant, and he didn't take it to heart at all, but what he thought in his heart was, I won't mess with you, and you won't mess with me, if you can know what is good, so you can take your mind so well, everyone is good, if not, he is not without a way.
Speaking of which, how many things in the plot are caused by Zeng Lao Er, it's really a big scourge, but if you want to clean up this scourge, you really have to bother, the other party can be mixed up for so many years, and he hasn't had his own cleverness, stepping on the bottom line of the law, just can't come down, it's impossible to punish openly, if you want to play with selfishness...
"Third uncle, third uncle!" The sound of footsteps came, and two boys, one big and one young, ran out of the backyard, both of whom were the sons of Zeng Lao's second son, and the two of them stopped at the table and greeted Zeng Yi uprightly, "I've seen the third uncle!"
"Good, good. Zeng Yi greeted the two with a smile, these two are the only two boys in the third generation of the Zeng family, when they were not separated, even the housemother would give a smile, and now that they are out, they are the same as the little overlords in the family, but they respect the uncle and two little uncles who read the most.
When they were at home, because Zeng Si was detained by his aunt, Zeng Yi, who had no aunt, was more familiar with them, and he would also take him with him when he read, just like a teacher, and he was more respected by these two people.
The grievances between adults have nothing to do with children, and the calculations between adults do not have to let children know, at this point, Zeng Yi and Zeng Lao Er have the same tacit understanding, in front of the children, neither of them was talking about the previous topic, Zeng Yi asked the two children about their studies, his character is like this, and he will not do things like pulling children to fly kites, but maybe because of mainstream thoughts, or children's hearts are clearer, they can see the love hidden under the stereotyped face, they have no sense of fear and fear of this third uncle, and they are more respectful and fondγ
rushed to answer Zeng Yi's question, won his praise, and happily coaxed the second sister-in-law back with a smile.
After such a small episode, when Zeng Yi didn't persuade Zeng Lao Er again, he said two words like "thank you for hospitality" and left.
Zeng Lao Er may not have any intention of continuing, so he let him go after saying a few words.
Zeng Yi walked out of a distance and looked back, Zeng Er's current house is not very good in the county, but it is still much better than his two younger brothers, if he can cherish it, it is good, if not... Calculated the other party's father and nephew, Zeng Yi still didn't want to do it.
The plot can be seen as something that will happen in the future, but since he has come, those futures will naturally change, so what is the crime of Zeng Er, who did not do anything as evil as in the plot?
It is not wrong for people to be greedy for money, and it may be wrong to calculate brothers for this, but this mistake is not a crime that leads to death.
It was too late, and he refused to stay at Zeng Lao'er's house, and it was obviously too much of a toss to go back to the village at this time, so Zeng Yi simply found an inn in the county to live.
The inn is full of business travelers, some of them go to bed early, and some of them are still drinking at night, muttering about their own things, they may not be familiar with each other, just to pass the time of boredom.
The room was not soundproof, Zeng Yi didn't sleep, he concentrated on cultivating his spiritual power, and he didn't feel sleepy all night.
Since he had already told Zeng Lao Er about Master Fu, he didn't delay, and after breakfast, he found someone and settled the matter, the location of his two shops is really good, otherwise they wouldn't let the other party take a fancy to each other, they just separated, and someone inquired about him here.
It's a shame that the county was more diligent in those two days, so that the family found someone, otherwise this matter would fall into the ears of Zeng Laoer, and it would not be his own decision.
Zeng Yi went to the county school to go around after the lease contract, his current studies are naturally much better than the original owner, and Mr. didn't care about him, he accidentally met the fourth child, and said a few words, and the other party really gave the shop to the aunt to take care of, saying that it was for the aunt to take care of, in fact, it was no different from handing it over to the boss.
"I don't know how to run a business anyway. The fourth smiled freely, not the kind of freedom that he didn't understand at all, but the kind of freedom that he saw but didn't care, "I want to take the test well, and I can also give the family a glorious lintel when the time comes." β
Zeng Yi nodded, everyone has their own ambitions, he encouraged the other party twice, and didn't take it to heart.
When they walked out of the door together, when they were about to part ways, the fourth child hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Third brother, you have been growing in your studies recently, but you are also waiting for the exam after your filial piety?"
"Let's talk about it in three years. β
Zeng Yi said vaguely, it's not good to say that he is not allowed to prepare for the exam, for fear that everyone will persuade him. He has already experienced such a life as a scientific expedition and being an official, and it is not the first time, so what is the point of repeating it again? Now there are no parents who want him to become a Chan, and it is good to relax and live happily for a lifetime.
What's more, the immortals... Will there be some other surprises in this world of immortals?

Explain, the reason for not taking the examination was said before, because there was no forced labor, and there was no need to use the identity of Xiucai to avoid this part of the trouble, as for the land rent, because he is now a rich family, and he is not afraid of the problem of payment, so he does not need to take the test.
After working hard and researching, after becoming an official, he has to make concessions for many people, and he has to bow down to the emperor, and even this is not the highest level, but also bow down to the immortals, this kind of rank gap is obviously not something that can be made up by being an official, and there is no need to let yourself work so hard without heavy forced labor and tax oppression.
