When Chen Ye returned home, this home could no longer be described as miserable, the original three rooms had collapsed two and a half rooms, and there was only one room left. After packing up the things, only a few books are in good condition, which is considered the last fortune. After all, in this era, in fact, books are still more valuable, because books are still controlled in the hands of the family, and they control the spread of knowledge, so the family is easy to raise people, champions, and the officialdom is relatively powerful.

Poor families can't afford to buy books at all, and even if they want to, they can't buy them anywhere, and after a long time, it creates a bad situation, and most of the officials are from big families, and their relationships are complicated. It is already difficult for a poor family to produce champions, after all, most of the time they still have to help the family do farm work, and the remaining educational resources are relatively limited. Even if you become an official, if you don't rely on some big family forces, it will be difficult to develop up. Chen Ye's most valuable estimate now is the few books in his hand and two acres of land. Now in a state of homelessness, it's time to think about your own path.

The neighbor's aunt was still comforting Chen Ye: "Don't worry, you will live in your aunt's house first, there happens to be a house, vacate it for you to live in, everyone can help in the future, you are not in good health, let Uncle Chen plant it for you in the future."

I thought it was a good intention, but it turned out that I had taken a fancy to my family's two acres of land. Thinking about being penniless now, I can't go back to my home, and I'm not the material for farming, so I can only bow to the fence now. But she can't get two acres of land for nothing.

"Thank you aunt for your kindness, then I will live first, I myself am not the material for farming, I see this land and let Uncle Chen help me plant, but even if this land is rented to Chen Shu, after all, this land still has to pay taxes, you can't let me pay taxes alone, since my uncle has the idea of farming, I am also grateful for your care for so many years, you help me plant these two acres first, and only give me 200 yuan a year to live, what do you think?"

"It's not easy for this child, there is no place to live at home, you still want his two acres of land, you can be happy in your heart, Chen Ye will live in his uncle's house in the future, I don't want your money, and I don't want your land."

Aunt Chen hurriedly pounded Chen Shu and signaled not to speak. "After all, it's not easy for us, we've been helping you for so many years, you can't raise someone in the family for nothing, 200 yuan a year is like this."

Chen Ye didn't want to say anything, after all, in this era, one tael of gold is equal to 100 taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to 1,000 yuan, thinking of quickly taking the money in his hand to do some small business, not to let himself become so poor, honest farming will not make a fortune, and it will not be enough to enter Beijing to take the exam when the time comes. Thinking about your own money to do a small business, you can make yourself live better, build a good house at home, it is always uncomfortable to stay in someone else's house, there is a good saying, the gold nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.

Pay close attention, Chen Ye came to Anqing, the county seat, to make money, to see what business opportunities there were and what he could do. You can't stay in the village all the time, and it's good to know about the outside world.

In fact, this world is not like the earth, more like a parallel time and space, and there is also an era similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but after the era of the Chaos Kingdom, many countries were slowly annexed, and the larger ones were Yang, Han, Feng, Xinyue, Zhongshan, and then these countries were replaced by two major countries, Han and Zhongshan. The Han and Zhongshan kingdoms were in a war from year to year, after thirty years of war. Zhongshan won the final victory, and it has been three generations since the founding of the country, and the emperor was called Han Qing that year. The overall country is relatively stable, that is, the northern barbarians are the biggest threat, and the small-scale wars are continuous, after all, the barbarians do not want to see the Central Plains becoming stronger and stronger, and the Yunnan border also occasionally rebels, and the ambition of some small countries to restore the country is not dead. It's more like the Sui Dynasty, except that there are no rebellions like Li Yuan, but the family is also a growing threat to the country.

Anqing is actually a prosperous county, and the organizational structure of the country is counties, prefectures, and prefectures. After all, the water system here is relatively developed, so there are many boats coming and going, and there are many coolies. It's lively both day and night. Chen Ye just looked around like this, and looked. Suddenly, he was hit and almost fell to the ground.

"Nerd, I'm going to participate in the hydrangea snatch too"

"Snatch the hydrangea"

"Nerd, you don't know this, grab the hydrangea and struggle for 20 years" It turned out that this person was Zheng Fan from the same college, and this person usually had nothing to do and loved to make fun of Chen Ye. Usually I see a program throwing hydrangea in the tourist area, but I didn't expect that someone would really do this when I first came to this world, Chen Ye thought that he was idle anyway, so go and see.

Today's hydrangea is Anqing businessman Zhao Jiancai, commonly known as Zhao Caishen, is bitter and mean, sees money and has two daughters under his knees, it is said that the daughter is beautiful, and the daughter is ugly. I don't know which woman is choosing a husband now. Zhao Jiancai in Anqing this place to do business is to do the wind and water, mainly to do ceramic business, the business is not big or small, I heard that Zhao Jiancai saw the money on the eyes of the two eyes, there is a penny on the side of the road to stop to pick up, many people call him Zhao Caishen.

It turned out that there were so many people, a bunch of them, looking at the second floor. "Do you think Zhao Caishen will recruit his eldest daughter as a son-in-law, I heard that the eldest woman is good-looking and watery, think about holding it at night, hey, let me live twenty years less"

"You don't look at your own virtue, are you worthy of the eldest daughter of Zhao Caishen?"

"As long as you deserve it, look at the hollowing out of your body when you go to the Qinglou, can your body work?"

The people next to him let out a burst of laughter, and the discussion continued, some said that the eldest daughter was born with a charming bone, and she couldn't control it when she saw it, some said that she had an affair with the subordinates in the family, and some people thought about how the eldest daughter was going when they went back to be busy at night, and it was full of some unbearable words.

Chen Ye found a handsome little brother in the crowd, with an extraordinary bearing, a face with distinct facial features like a carving, and an angular face that was handsome and abnormal, looking a little bohemian. And show that he is determined to win, and he doesn't put other people in his eyes at all, it seems that this person is not simple. From the crowd, I learned that he was the son of Anqing County Ling, Zhou Shi, no wonder the instrument is extraordinary, Zhou Shi has always wanted to marry Zhao Caishen's eldest daughter, and even asked his father to propose to himself. However, Zhou Shi is determined to win, see who dares to rob you.

As he spoke, Zhao Jiancai came out. "Thank you for your support, everyone knows that I have a big page and two daughters under my knees, but I don't have a son, today I am seeking an in-law for my second daughter, looking for a son-in-law." As soon as he finished saying this, a group of people who were originally black and oppressive immediately scattered and fled, Zhou Shi was displeased, and rode away after thinking about it. Lin walked to Zhao Jiancai and bowed, and left.

The maid saw that everyone was leaving, and she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she threw the hydrangea down, and the people below saw the hydrangea thrown at herself, so she hurriedly pushed it to others, and after pushing, she hurried away, and no one picked it up. No one wants to marry an ugly wife, or a door-to-door son-in-law, after all, door-to-door sons-in-law generally do not have a high status, or a concubine, and the child will still follow the woman's surname in the future. Pushing and pushing the hydrangea came to Chen Ye's hand, and he was stunned, and two family members came. Pull yourself and go inside.

"This is the end of throwing hydrangeas, thank you for your support", and then Chen Ye was "taken" to Zhao Jiancai.

"But if there is a marriage match, who is in the family?" Zhao Jiancai leaked out the golden front teeth as soon as he spoke, and looked at him with a smile. The housekeeper said something in Zhao Jiancai's ear, Zhao Jiancai smiled even more happily, the fat on his face was almost sticking together, and he even said a few good things. Hurry up and take Chen Ye through the marriage process, before Chen Ye can say anything, he hurriedly asked the family to "help" Chen Ye to visit the church to get married, it can only be said that it is not even a simple process, just take the bride to the church and finish it. Before Chen Ye could see what the fresh lady looked like, the bride was sent away, and then the others just congratulated and pulled Chen Ye to pour wine.

Chen Ye felt that this was a conspiracy, how ugly this bride should be, so sad to marry. In fact, many people know that this time it is a concubine, and in this society, there is still a big difference between a concubine and a concubine, and the concubine is basically cut off from the family's money. There is also a big difference between the status of the concubine and the concubine, why is the recruitment of a son-in-law to find someone to give birth to a child, and the Zhao family has cultivated it themselves. The son-in-law has no rights in the future, and the status is only slightly better with the subordinates. So that's why Zhao Jiancai is in such a hurry to visit the church.

Anyway, before Chen Ye saw the bride's appearance, he was dragged by a group of people to drink, and before he said anything, he just drank. Soon drunk, the guests laughed, and the new uncle was sent directly into the room.
