48 Glory and riches, the world thinks
Say it silently, ask for recommendations, collections, and rewards, thank you for your visitors!
Two days later, the second master of the Chen family finally returned to Beijing with his wife and daughter's family to take office, and the old and young in Hulutun went out to say goodbye, a happy and peaceful scene.
Mrs. Li held on to the door frame for a long time, and said something in her mouth, "Let's go!" β
"What if people don't leave, people are going back to be officials, don't be delusional, it's only serious to take a good look at our unsuccessful son." Shopkeeper Li muttered angrily. When the son heard that Chen Erye was leaving, he went out happily, saying that he was seeing him off, and he watched in the crowd for a long time, where was the shadow of this kid.
"It's not that you are stopping, otherwise Biyun will become our daughter-in-law, then our Li family will be the official relative! You have been saying that I have no knowledge, and now you are going to find me a daughter-in-law? Mrs. Li patted the knocker and scolded. When the shopkeeper Li saw her standing at the door, he dared to scold himself, and he had the heart to go up and give her some color, but he felt that the old couple couldn't afford to lose anyone by fighting in front of the door, so he could only stomp into the back room. I can't afford to provoke, I can always afford to hide.
"Li Molin, don't you go to see off your sweetheart, hiding outside the door sneaky and still like a Confucius protΓ©gΓ©? I'm not afraid of insulting the face of your readers! Xi En scolded with disdain in his eyes.
Li Molin rubbed out of his head, he was scolded not angry but happy, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and picked up the fan on the table casually, "This dyeing workshop is stuffy, and the smell is not good, I'll fan some wind for you." β
The last time he scolded him away, he thought about it afterwards and was a little unbearable, but now he saw that he came up with a salivating face, and he was born with a chic and handsome posture, and he was somewhat bookish, otherwise he would really have to be a scoundrel and drive away.
"Hehe, thank you sister for helping me and relieving my troubles, you forgive me regardless of the villain."
It turned out that he didn't give people face, and he could be a small servant, Xi En couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I solved your troubles, what do you have to do with me!" β
Li Molin smiled when he saw Xi'en, and he was even more overjoyed, "It's good that my sister is not angry." β
"You don't have to be here to be poor, you have more effort to spend more on books, the autumn is coming, I can see you when I make a name for myself." Xi'en snatched the fan in his hand, fanned the wind himself, and turned his face to look at Li Molin.
"Fame is so important?"
"Nature." Xi En replied.
"You're going to marry me if I pass the exam?" Li Molin's mind turned, followed by another sentence.
Xi'en didn't expect him to be so difficult, he raised the fan and was about to hit it, but suddenly took it back, "I may not be able to look down on you if you pass the exam." β
"I know that you are extremely smart and a rare business wizard, so you naturally look down on me." Li Molin couldn't help but become depressed.
"Being a businessman is nothing more than more silver, nothing wrong."
"Then you want to be an official, and you think that being an official is more impossible for ordinary people?" Li Molin has hope again.
"There is a specialization in the art industry, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and the things in the world cannot be said to be outstanding in any profession or industry, and you should understand this. But then again, for example, you, you were originally a scholar, and the dyeing workshop in your house does not show that you have any talents, so you have to pay attention to your books. How to see the heart, naturally it is ten years of hard study, once the Toad Palace won the laurels, so that you can show your superiority, so it is okay. Xi En talked eloquently, and Li Molin nodded again and again, thoughtfully, as if he had realized the Tao for a long time.
"If you say that, you don't necessarily see the difference between me and my fame in the exam, but if I don't pass the exam, you must see me as the same as everyone else?"
Xi En clapped his hands and said, "You are also a smart person, and today you are enlightened." β
Li Molin continued as if he had fallen into an evil spirit, "And so on, you may not marry me if I pass the exam, but if you don't win, you will definitely not marry me." He said this, and then asked, "But what is the truth?" β
This is to the bottom of the matter, Xi En was speechless for a while, knowing that this kid was quick, and he was trapped by him more than once, and he refused to answer.
"If you don't say it, I will think it is, you see, I will definitely give you a reason to marry."
Xi En looked at him with confidence, and also wanted to inspire him, "Who doesn't want to be prosperous and rich, I can't avoid vulgarity, otherwise what is it for to work like this all day." She wanted to say, but she saw Li Molin free and easy, and left. That posture is like rushing to the battlefield.
"Young Master Li seems to have come a little more these days, isn't there something in the shop to discuss with you?" In the evening, Mrs. Chen took Xi'en's hand and talked to relieve her boredom.
Xi En selfishly guessed, this is the mother is afraid of people chewing her tongue, deliberately giving herself a wake-up. Then he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li wants his son to learn more about the things on the counter, but he is a little dull, and he doesn't understand what he says several times, so he has to come a few more times." If my mother is afraid of gossip, I will ask Brother Yan Rui to send him the same next time. β
Mrs. Chen figured out the facts, and said with a smile, "It's a business matter, so that's it." You are busy inside and out all day long, who doesn't treat you as a man, it's too late for the starter to envy us, no one gossips. Xi'en thought that some gossip was heard by her mother, but she was relieved when she saw that there was nothing to do at this time.
Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and then said, "Molin's little mother watched him grow up, and his little head is smart. When we were children, we played together, and although your brother was two years old, he only had the share of following him to listen to his calls. He thought of Li Molin's monkey spirit again, and he laughed unconsciously.
"You think other people have the same sperm, right? So how can your brother send people away, maybe someone will get around, you still have to deal with this matter yourself, if you don't understand, ask your father more. Although the old man is old-fashioned, he has a lot of things to do, and he can also help a little. Xi En nodded yes again and again, and accompanied her mother to gossip for a while, and then the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.
Lying on the bed, Xi En couldn't help but think of the situation during the day. Thinking of Li Molin's anxious and helpless look, he felt very funny. After thinking about it like this, I slowly fell asleep.
After a night's speech, just after the next day, Xi'en ate breakfast and went to the steward's room of the dyeing workshop.
Ding Laohan, who had come to open the door early, came in to pour water, he was quick with his hands and feet, and he was about to withdraw after making tea, when Xi En's heart suddenly moved and asked, "Old Ding, is there someone coming here today?" "Usually, there are people on the cabinet in the gourd tun who come over early, but they all go back to the shopkeeper Chen, and Xien never asks.
Lao Ding thought for a while, "A few guys came to the old club early in the morning, and they all talked about things in front." But a man with two donkey eyes and a little donkey temper came to you, and I didn't look like a good person, so he said that you were not there, and now I went into the city, and he left. β
