Chapter 2 There is a way to make money
Early in the morning, in front of the gate of the village, the villagers in the whole village are bidding farewell to a young man, this young man is thin and delicate, his eyes look bright, although the clothes are ordinary green shirts, he can wear this young man's body, revealing a sense of elegance, the whole person looks energetic, and he is an aspiring young man at a glance.
The autumn wind was bleak, Cao Xiucai involuntarily clamped his legs, and he was extremely nostalgic for the days when he had autumn pants to wear.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Cao Wei walked out of Caojia Village.
………………
Approaching Qinyang County, the mottled city wall contains the unique charm of this era, and there is a plaque with the word "Qinyang" written on it. Although the plaque is humble and simple, the ink is majestic and extraordinary, revealing a kind of temperament to educate the people.
Standing outside the city wall of the county, you can hear the sound of selling inside, the county seat is not big, but it is very lively.
It was a long process to bargain with Cao Wei, at least the innkeeper felt so, and the house price went from one or two or five dollars a month to one or two and a half dollars of silver, which took half an hour.
In the end, Cao Wei also asked for a reduction of 500 study money on the grounds that there was a mole on the left corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, which affected the accommodation experience, ignoring the shopkeeper's resentful eyes.
After settling down, Cao Wei thought about earning money for a living, after all, it was still too far from realizing his dream of having a house, a car and a maid.
Cao Xiucai thought about it for a long time and didn't think of any specialty, I remember that when I filled in the specialty in my previous life, I filled in the hair specialty, hey! It's so angry.
In the end, Cao Xiucai finally thought of a way to make a fortune.
Fortune teller!
That's right, it's very responsible to say that Cao Xiucai doesn't know anything except a slightly delicate face, except for the ignorance... Phew, to explain others, Cao Wei felt for the first time that his talent was not worthy of his face.
The iron mouth is broken! This is the slogan that Cao Wei thinks of for himself, very down-to-earth, very... Vulgar.
Early the next morning, there was a fortune teller in the most prosperous area of Qinyang County, the banner in front of him was extremely eye-catching, and its words were extremely ugly.
This is written by Cao Xiucai himself, and he is really not used to using a brush...
"Gurgle... What a handsome fortune teller, come into the building and calculate how it is for the sisters, the slave family still has something to say to you."
There is no apricot blossom wine in the apricot blossom building, only a lot of distressing stumbling girls, Cao Xiucai's stall is just opposite the apricot blossom building, the most prosperous area in Qinyang County.
Cao Xiucai squatted opposite Xinghualou, I really wanted to comfort these young girls who had lost their footing, explain their lives for them, and talk about life ideals by the way, as for where to talk, Cao Xiucai didn't mind, as long as he didn't collect money, the process must be very pleasant.
Xinghualou is a famous local gold kiln, located in the area of every inch of land, it can be seen that the boss behind must be a rich and powerful person.
With this bit of silver in his pocket, Cao Wei was afraid that he would not even have underwear when he came out, and it was even very likely that he would not be able to come out because of debts, so he would stay in the building as a turtle man. Thinking of how he would pimp on the street in the future, Cao Wei couldn't help but shudder.
"Girl, do you know what a decent gentleman is? I am. Cao Wei tried his best to behave righteously.
The girl sneered, "If you hadn't peeked at my chest when you said this, I would have believed you were a gentleman, now, hum!" ”
"I'm just afraid that the clothes on your chest are not strong, really, I'm so worried, you believe me." Cao Wei believed this reason, but the girl didn't seem to believe it, turned around and left.
Cao Xiucai felt sorry for the girls, they missed the opportunity to chat with a wise man, what a pity.
"Ahh
When I looked up, Cao Xiucai's anger was completely gone, and I saw a fat head and big ears in foreign clothes, young and rich boys, like a walking gold ingot, so cute, I really want to take a bite...
"Yo, isn't this the son of Pan in the north of the city, I haven't come to our Xinghualou for a long time, how can I come to see our sisters today, aren't you afraid of the tigress at home?"
"It is not easy for Mr. Pan to come by, and this time he must have come to the ...... of time."
Pan Gongzi smiled and scolded and hugged the girl's waist and entered the Xinghua Building.
I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain, it's really a villain's small heart, and it can't be prevented, and there is no moral bottom line. There is also a saying: I'd rather offend the villain than offend Cao Xiucai.
Cao Xiucai took the stall, inquired about the Pan Mansion in the north of the city, and told the servant at the door that he had something to tell his wife about Pan Gongzi.
After a while, Cao Wei was welcomed to the living room, and saw a woman sitting on it, with an extraordinary appearance, and at first glance she was a strong man with strong combat effectiveness.
Cao Wei hurriedly greeted the salute, and Mrs. Pan saw the handsome young man below, who knew books and understood etiquette, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this is a scholar with noble character.
"The concubine Pan Liu, I have seen the son, dare to ask what happened to the officials of my family?"
"Today I saw Pan Gongzi enter Xinghua Building, I don't want Pan Gongzi to go astray, so I came to inform Madame", Cao Wei looked distressed.
As soon as these words came out, Cao Wei felt that the room had become much colder, and Mrs. Pan's face was angry.
Cao Wei thought to himself, Brother Yuanbao, you can ask for more blessings, the dead friends are not poor, and they will burn paper for you next year.
"Haven't asked for the son's name yet?"
"Under Lei Feng".
"Thank you Lei Gongzi for telling me, come to Fu, take Lei Gongzi to the account room to pay ten taels of silver, in order to thank Lei Gongzi."
"I'm really ashamed, I'm ashamed", Cao Wei was overjoyed, and he didn't look ashamed at all.
In less than a pillar of incense, Mrs. Pan took more than a dozen healthy servants and went straight to Xinghualou. And Cao Wei went to the carriage and horse shop, rented a carriage, and parked it at the back door of Xinghua Building.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Pan to arrive at Xinghua Building.
"Pan Fu, you shameless one, get out of here for the old lady."
Xinghualou was silent in an instant, and then a panicked footsteps were heard, and after a while, Brother Yuanbao ran out of the back door of Xinghualou out of breath, not even wearing shoes.
The expression is very flustered, and the heart is desperate, like a girl who is being ruined.
After seeing Cao Wei's carriage, he was overjoyed, and after giving Cao Wei the only ingot of silver, he urged the carriage to go quickly, and after three days of crossing the street, Brother Yuanbao breathed a sigh of relief.
"In Xia Pan Furen, thank you for the rescue, dare to ask Engong's name?"
"In Xia Cao Wei, the effort of raising hands is not enough to worry about."
"Where does Engong live, when he is free, he will definitely come to thank him", obviously Brother Yuanbao feels that the grace of saving his life is great, at least bigger than a silver ingot.
"I'm ashamed, I'm staying at the Fulai Inn for the time being."
"Hey, that's my family's business."
Cao Wei: "......"
