When Chai Lingwu went out, the jade crown tied his hair, and he was dressed in a fox fur, with a handsome face and bright facial features. Whether it's the front, side, or back, it's a handsome boy.

Now, as if it had been ransacked, the white jade crown on his head had long since disappeared, and his green silk was draped, dancing in the cold wind.

The big fur of the fox fur collar is long gone, and the thin white robe is blowing up, which is very funny.

On a dark night, on the stone steps at the foot of the mountain in the east of the city, Chai Lingwu, who was so downcast, stood there carrying a simple lantern.

Jiang Chengzi looked at his thin clothes, and he felt cold, so he hurriedly tightened the big coat on his body, looked up at Chai Lingwu on the stone steps, and shouted: "Brother Yi." ”

"Hmm. He replied in a low voice, his tone rather lonely.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chengzi paused and asked, "Robbed?"

Chai Lingwu shook his head and said, "No." ”

"What about the coat, or the hair?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Chai Lingwu shook his head, walked down slowly, and asked his face pale, he looked at Jiang Chengzi, and asked thoughtlessly: "Ah Zhi, is the righteous brother very unproductive?"

"What do you mean by breath?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically.

She expected that Chai Lingwu must have encountered something on the mountain, and was greatly stimulated, but he didn't seem to want to say it at the moment.

"Make meritorious contributions and run for the honor of the family. He whispered.

Jiang Chengzi frowned and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, I thought you wouldn't be trapped by this. ”

Chai Lingwu smiled pale and said, "Laughing and scolding, acting absurdly, this is me in your eyes." ”

Jiang Chengzi tightened his squeeze and said, "Brother Yi, it's about to be curfew." We don't have a token, and if we get caught, it won't have a big impact, and we'll have to get in trouble. Don't make your father-in-law unhappy. Let's hurry up and talk as we go. ”

Chai Lingwu nodded, carried the lantern down the steps, and rushed to the Yang Mansion with Jiang Chengzi.

After walking for a while, Jiang Chengzi said: "Brother Yi, you are deeply hidden, laughing and scolding, and acting absurdly, but you are just your coat." ”

"Oh, what do you think?" Chai Lingwu paused, turned his head to examine her seriously.

"No gentleman has clear eyes. Jiang Chengzi shrugged.

"I, my eyes are clear?" Chai Lingwu looked surprised.

Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "Brother Yi, do you think you have amazing acting skills? You are just good at acting, but in front of fellow people, cough, cough, it is still not worth watching." ”

When Chai Lingwu heard this, he suddenly laughed, and then said happily: "Ah Zhi is boasting." ”

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi is not modest.

"You're so upright, you don't know how to be humble at all. Chai Lingwu pouted.

Jiang Chengzi took the lantern in his hand and said, "I'll carry it, you can roll up your sleeves, it will be a little warmer." ”

Chai Lingwu was not polite, he straightened the robe on his body, and said as he walked: "Ah Zhi, I always think about what I should do, what I should do, but I haven't been able to think it through. And, I always felt that I was worthless. Because, growing up, no matter what I do, my father will be angry and there will not be a word of praise. That feeling, special, powerless. ”

Chai Lingwu spit out the word "powerless", Jiang Chengzi's heart tightened, thinking of himself many years ago.

Grandparents are the older generation, and they have always adhered to the principle of educating children not to praise and to keep children humble at all times. So, no matter what kind of achievements she makes, she will not get any praise from her grandparents.

My parents are divorced, my mother designs jewelry abroad, and she is in business, and she doesn't talk on the phone a few times a year, and every time she asks how she is doing, is the money enough? Or in other words, she sends you new jewelry and clothes.

At the time, she thought it was ridiculous. At a young age, the school is not allowed to wear clothes other than school uniforms at all, and also wear jewelry?

As for my father, he loves archaeology and has been in the field all year round, so he can't be contacted at all. When he came back once or twice once or twice, the father and daughter were relatively speechless, and they felt very restrained when they said a word, and where else could they get any praise.

And the cousins only ridicule and blow her, where does the praise come from?

Being praised seems to have always been far away from her.

However, she is luckier than Chai Lingwu, that is, she has always been the best, so she has not been reprimanded.

"Ah Zhi, that feeling of powerlessness really makes people want to do nothing. Every time, I went to my father with great interest, and there was no praise, a burst of scolding. Chai Lingwu's voice was extremely sad and lonely.

Jiang Chengzi pulled back the thoughts that had been flying far away and said, "As long as you know that you are doing a good job." Besides, the other day, I listened to what you meant, and you know the reason why your father-in-law treats you like this. ”

Chai Lingwu said "um" and said, "When I grow up a little, I'll know." The nurse told me that my father loved my mother very much, and my mother died because she gave birth to me, and my father would inevitably be upset when he saw me. They have a deep affection for me, because I am separated from yin and yang, and I understand him, but I don't want my mother to be like that-"

When Chai Lingwu said this, his voice was choked, and he actually cried bitterly.

Jiang Chengzi stood in place, under a row of ancient city walls in the east of the city, in the cold winter wind, looking at the man in thin clothes in front of him and crying. She didn't say anything, just stood quietly.

Chai Lingwu cried for a moment, but he chuckled lightly and said, "Ah Zhimo wants to laugh at me." ”

Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said, "Brother I'm very happy when I'm a true relative. How can you laugh at your brother?"

"I can get Azhi's sister, this trip to Shuzhong is always in vain. Chai Lingwu has returned to normal, and his tone is as playful and ridiculous as Ping Suli.

Jiang Chengzi looked at him like this, put down his heart, and also joked meaningfully: "Look at the appearance of the righteous brother, if you come to Shuzhong, you can't just get my sister." ”

"Haha, but I worshiped Zhao Zilong on the mountain, met an old man who watched the temple and a blind man who looked at the grave, and chatted a few words. Chai Lingwu took the initiative to speak.

"Let's chat, this jade crown, big coat, and outer robe have all been given away?" Jiang Chengzi still said in a joking tone, and he didn't expect Chai Lingwu to answer.

Chai Lingwu really didn't elaborate, just smiled and said: "The comprehension of some things may only take an instant, I think I should change and say goodbye to my past me." ”

Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "Although it is very good to have some understanding, it is still ridiculous for the righteous brother to act like this. Do you have to get sick on this cold day?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway. Chai Lingwu said that it was okay, but his body was shaking honestly.

Jiang Chengzi shook his head, walked a few steps forward quickly, stopped a carriage that had just returned to the city, and asked the driver: "Old man, is it convenient and feasible?"

"The girl wants to use the car?" the old man asked loudly.

"If it's convenient, I want to hire the old man's car. Jiang Chengzi replied with a smile.

The old man looked at the sky and said, "Girl, it's not good, even officials have died so much recently, it's not peaceful." If I go out of the city at night, I can't do it. ”

"It's cold, it's cold, the roads are slippery, who wants to go out of the city. We are homecoming. Jiang Chengzi said, pointed at Chai Lingwu again, and said, "My brother-in-law has just been robbed, and his valuable clothes and hair crown have been robbed. ”

"Okay, girl, which one are you going to?" the old man lifted the curtain directly.

Jiang Chengzi jumped into the carriage lightly, and the old man applauded: "The girl's fist and foot skills are good, and she is not bullied."

"The old man praised, but I am not a lady, I am active, and I just follow the eldest brother to learn a thing or two. Jiang Chengzi replied, and when Chai Lingwu jumped up, he said, "Go to the sixth room of the Yang family." ”

The old man was startled, but he was also a man who traveled from south to north, so he didn't ask anything, but said, "Those two sit down and walk up immediately." ”

Jiang Chengzi was very satisfied with the old man's style of not inquiring, not looking around, and only doing business. She lowered the curtain and said to Chai Lingwu: "Brother Yi, look at this old man is the one who knows how to be a man and do things." ”

"He's a businessman. Chai Lingwu replied.

"Huh, brother-in-law, did you see it too?" Jiang Chengzi asked.

Chai Lingwu glanced at her and said: "Looking at the decoration of the carriage, you can see that it is not owned by a large family, but it is not an ordinary car for goods, and the back of this carriage is spacious and suitable for goods, which belongs to a typical carriage hired by a special runner." Look at the horse again, it is not a tall horse, the foot strength should be average, and the old man should not have practiced martial arts. From this I judged that the carriage did not run long distances, but only near familiar places. ”

Chai Lingwu didn't tremble when he spoke because of the warmth in the car, and when he said that, his tone became more and more proud.

"It's very observant. Jiang Chengzi sincerely praised.

Chai Lingwu laughed, then opened the curtain and asked, "Old man, your car is hired for business, right?"

"Yes. The old man replied with a whip.

"Do you want to run long distances?" Chai Lingwu asked again.

"Childe, only take the official road, not long distances, as far as Guanghan. Like Chang'an, where the son is located, the old man has never been there in his life, so naturally he doesn't want to make this money. The old man replied with a smile.

Chai Lingwu put down the curtain and asked proudly, "Ah Zhi, how is it?"

"Observant and intelligent. The righteous brother really pretends to be crazy and stupid on weekdays. Jiang Chengzi said with a smile.

Chai Lingwu was quite happy when he heard this, and then asked, "Then does Ah Zhi think I can become an excellent businessman?"

"Merchant?" Jiang Chengzi asked suspiciously.

This person just looked so lost that he even lost his big hat and hair crown, and he realized it in an instant, vowing to say goodbye to his old self in the past, and when he returned home, he would go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions and serve the motherland. At this point, he said he was going to be a businessman?

"yes. I figured it out, I want to be a good businessman. Chai Lingwu sat in the carriage and said his ideals seriously.

"What did you just realize?" Jiang Chengzi asked without giving up.

Chai Lingwu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I just saw the lives of those two people on the mountain. It is really terrible to have no clothes and no fixed place to live. I just want to live in this world, what are I pursuing?"

"Then, you think of engaging in business?" Jiang Chengzi was very curious about what Chai Lingwu's brain circuit was.

Chai Lingwu shook his head and said, "That can be so fast." I first thought of life in the world, but it's just food, clothing, shelter and transportation, don't people work for this all their lives?"

"Well, you're quite right. Jiang Chengzi looked at his eager gaze and hurriedly nodded in praise of him for being right.

Chai Lingwu's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he continued: "I just thought, where do you get food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and it must be money? You have to have money to live in a mansion, you have luxury cars in and out, you have meat for a meal, and you can wear warm clothes." Well, I immediately thought, money, what a nice thing. ”

When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he couldn't help but stroke his forehead, and said curtly: "You dare to love you so much, only to realize that money is a thing?"

"yes. Once upon a time, I was in Chang'an, and I was not short of money. Riding a white horse past Pingkangfang, the building is full of fairies waving to me. If you don't bring any money, you will keep the account, and the housekeeper Uncle Lin will go to settle the bill. Chai Lingwu shrugged.

"Then you are only leaving Chang'an temporarily, and you are not short of money. Jiang Chengzi only felt that this Chai Lingwu's imagination was jumping out of shape.

Chai Lingwu shook his head and said, "Ah Zhi, you don't understand. The money I used to use was all the wealth of my ancestors, and I had no way to make money, nor did I have any skills. There are times when the gold and silver mountains are exhausted, and if it really comes to that point, it is really scary to think about. ”

Chai Lingwu said, patted his chest, looked overly frightened, and said again and again, "It's really scary to think about it."

"It's rare that you have an epiphany. Money is a good thing. Jiang Chengzi sighed, how many children of wealthy families can comprehend like Chai Lingwu, there are really not many.

"Not really. I had an epiphany, and I started thinking that I had to make money, and I had to have a skill. Chai Lingwu was very excited and continued, "You know no. Actually, when I came down from the mountain, until I met you, I was always confused, what could I do, what I was going to do in the future, what to kill the enemy or govern the country, I was not interested, and second, I was lazy, and I was not the material for that. ”

"Then when did you think about becoming a businessman?" Jiang Chengzi was curious about the trigger point for Chai Lingwu to be a businessman.

Chai Lingwu smiled and said, "Naturally, after seeing you, I remembered what you said about the ready-to-wear shop, if it is successful, it is a good job to make money." Then, when I saw the old man driving the car, I remembered that I was in the world, eating, wearing, living and traveling. If you have a firm grasp of these four things, why not worry about the money. Isn't it, Azhi?"

Jiang Chengzi gave a thumbs up and praised: "After the righteous brother had an epiphany, he found the course of his life in a short moment, which is really admirable." ”

Chai Lingwu was in a good mood and said: "In the past, I always wanted to win glory for the family like my eldest brother and father. But I don't have that kind of heart and talent, I just don't. Now, I have figured out that in this generation, the wealth of the Chai family will be created by me, and the business of the Chai family will be taken care of by me. ”

Although Chai Lingwu was still wearing a robe at the moment, his expression and posture were already the same as before. Now he is full of pride, and in this dark night, there is an indescribable light.

Jiang Chengzi is also in a very good mood. Because she was still thinking about how to quickly start her own money-collecting business in Chang'an. Now Chai Lingwu has an epiphany and is about to start business. This is truly a gift from God. (To be continued.) )
