Chapter 1 Gambling
Syllable!
A crisp sound echoed in the small bedroom, and Ning Xiu was stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
A warm liquid rushed through his throat, bringing a sweet smell.
He licked the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
Dazed, confused, shocked, unwilling......
Looking at the man in front of him who was dressed in a narrow-sleeved navy blue cloth robe, with his back bent, and in his thirties, Ning Xiu actually felt so strange.
"Lao Tzu finally told you again, either go to Wang Yuanwai's house to be the bookkeeper, or get out of Lao Tzu. Lao Ning's family doesn't raise idlers! ”
After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away in a bad mood.
Ning Xiu stayed alone in the house, looking at the four treasures of the study on the bookcase, stunned.
Fragments flashed through my mind, my father's voice and smile, my mother's smile, and my uncle and aunt's sarcasm...... Ning Xiu looked back on all this, and his heart was bitter.
......
......
"Xiu'er finally got admitted to Xiucai, but she can't give up halfway. Whether our Lao Ning family can turn over depends on him. ”
"You mother-in-law is unreasonable, and I didn't ask him to drop out of school. It's just that he was asked to go to Wang Yuanwai's house to be a bookkeeper, how can he make up for some household expenses. How much money can this steamed bun shop make a year, and you still want to live a tight life like before? From this kid's enlightenment to social studies, it cost Lao Tzu no less than five taels just to give Chen Fuzi a bundle, and now he is admitted to Xiucai, is it wrong for Lao Tzu to ask him to make money? ”
"However, Ke Xiu'er has to fall behind in his homework. Next year is the township test, what if you delay your career? ”
"Fart's move, we have so many talents in Huguang, and there is no one who can raise people among the dozens of talents, do you really expect this kid to be able to lift the glory of the ancestors? Lao Tzu doesn't expect him to be famous, and it is only right to start a family and marry a mother-in-law earlier. ”
Ning Xiu pushed open the door of the house, fell to his knees with a thud, and pushed the golden mountain and the jade pillar to salute the man.
"Dad, the child knows it's wrong."
"Hmph, don't play a bitter trick for Lao Tzu here, since you can't pass the exam, you will obediently go to Wang Yuanwai's house to be Mr. Bookkeeper, and you still eat white food at home when you are half the oldest, don't you feel ashamed?"
This man is Ning Xiu's cheap father Ning Liang, he trembled angrily, picked up the wooden staff in his hand and hit Ning Xiu's buttocks and legs.
"Daddy, kid, have something to say. Didn't Xiu'er make a compensatory deal with you? ”
Ning Xiu's mother-in-law, Ning Liu, hurriedly stepped forward to hug her husband, but Ning Liang was unwilling to stop there, and still waved his staff towards Ning Xiu.
Ning Liu was dressed in a floral horse-faced skirt, combed a fennel bun, and dressed quite decently, but at this time, she didn't care about her demeanor, hugged her husband and pulled it out.
"Father, what are you doing here? Even if you want to fight, you have to listen to Xiu'er finish speaking. ”
When Ning Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he almost turned his back on his breath. Xindao is not reliable as a cheap mother.
"Hmph, what can this little rabbit cub say, isn't it begging Lao Tzu to continue to support him? Is it great to be a show in the exam? He is also a kind of Lao Tzu who has passed the Jinshi examination, and Lao Tzu can fight if he wants to! ”
Although he was still scolding in his mouth, Ning Liang put down the wooden staff and sat on the low stool.
Ning Xiu felt that the opportunity had come, so he said respectfully: "Daddy, after thinking about it, my son feels that his career cannot be wasted. ”
Hearing this, Ning Liang's anger rushed to his chest for a while, and he was about to pick up the wooden stick and continue to beat this uncompetitive bastard, Ning Xiu hurriedly continued: "But my son promises that he will not eat and drink at home for nothing." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Ning Liang raised his eyebrows, and put on hold his plan to teach Ning Xiu a lesson.
"What my son means is that there is a way to make our family live a good life."
Ning Xiu lowered his head, his hands against the seams of his trousers, and his attitude was very respectful.
"Don't give Lao Tzu a sloppy eye, say it quickly!"
Ning Liangke was an anxious man, and immediately waved his hand to urge.
"How about a father and son make a bet?" Ning Xiu blinked and said.
"You!"
Ning Liang just wanted to scold, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.
"Bet on what?"
So he gambled that his son would make a lot of money in three days. If you can do it, don't let your son go to the Wang family to be a bookkeeper. If his son can't do it, he is naturally willing to go to the Wang family to work, and he doesn't need his father to worry about it. ”
Ning Xiu said it categorically, Ning Liang was stunned when he heard it, and muttered in his mouth: "Stinky boy, make consistent money within three days?" You're not stealing, are you? ”
Ning Xiu's face turned red and said: "What did my father say, no matter what my son said, he is also a scholar." But the son has a request, the father has to listen to the son within three days. ”
Ning Liang's anger rushed up.
"Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is your father!"
It's no wonder that Ning Liang is very angry, and the concept of the father as the son has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Ming Dynasty, and Ning Xiu's words are indeed a bit annoying......
"Dad, the child only needs three days, and everything is for gambling."
Ning Liang hesitated for a moment, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Okay, Lao Tzu will promise you this time." If you kid dare to play tricks......"
Before Ning Liang finished speaking, Ning Xiu hurriedly said, "The child doesn't dare." ”
......
......
Now that the big words are out, the next thing is to think about making money.
Ning Xiu was a doctoral student in chemical engineering from a key university in his previous life, and he stayed up all night and died suddenly while doing his graduation project, so he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, occupied the magpie's nest, and possessed Ning Xiucai, who had the same name and surname.
Now it is the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ning family is Huguangcheng announced the political secretary, Jingzhou Mansion, Jiangling County.
Ning Liang, the dead ghost father, opened a steamed bun shop, and he could barely fill the stomach of a family of three by selling steamed buns, but there was absolutely no surplus, and life was poor. Otherwise, Ning Liang would not have let Ning Xiu, who had just been admitted to the show, go to the Wang family as a bookkeeper to fill the family.
For Ning Xiu, the most important thing at the moment is to win this bet, otherwise he will inevitably go to the Wang family to work.
Making money by inventing seems like a good idea. The male protagonist who climbs the tech tree in the novel also seems to do the same.
But invention isn't just a matter of lip service.
It is true that Ning Xiu was a doctor of chemical engineering in his previous life, but how to apply this knowledge to chemical inventions is a difficult problem.
You must know that this is the Ming Dynasty at the end of the 16th century, and the industrial productivity is very limited, not to mention those purification technologies, even the necessary laboratory equipment such as beaker test tubes may not be easily manufactured.
