"Ah Zhen, you're here, come in, come in." Aunt Liu, the daughter-in-law of Chen's tent, suddenly showed a chrysanthemum-like smile when she saw Chi Fei and the large bag of soap and soap he was carrying.

"Hello auntie, is Mr. at home?"

"Yes, dad, he's in the house.

Today, my son-in-law took my daughter back to her parents' house to see us, and my father was chatting with my son-in-law in the house. ”

"Then excuse me, this is a little gift I brought from the store for my husband, please help my aunt accept it."

"Oh, you can come, what kind of gift do you give, Ah Zhen, you are so polite, come in and sit." Although she said so, Aunt Liu still quickly put away the gift.

She didn't know the price of soap at first, and she usually used it as ordinary soap when she washed her face and bathed.

As a result, I chatted with a nearby neighbor and found out that this soap was sold for ten taels of silver.

When she heard the price, she was immediately frightened. Hurry up and ask a few big grocery stores that sell soap outside, and it's really this price.

Oh my God, her family actually uses ten taels of silver a piece of soap to wash their faces and bathe every day, which is simply a loser.

She immediately ran home and put away all the soaps in the house, not daring to use them again.

Of course, she didn't dare to put away the soap used by her father-in-law's tent, but only other people's.

After putting it away, looking at the pieces of soap, she seemed to see ingots of silver.

So, she came up with the idea of this soap and secretly sold the unused soap to others at a lower price.

The shop outside sold ten taels a piece, and she thought about selling eight taels or nine taels a piece.

But she knew ordinary people like her, how could an ordinary family spend so much money to buy things for washing their faces and baths, and as a result, they couldn't sell a piece.

In the end, after several twists and turns, she was introduced to a second-way dealer, and only then did she give all the soap at the price of two taels of silver.

Although compared with the original price of ten taels of yuan, she only earned one-fifth, but looking at the white silver in her hand, she was satisfied.

After all, it was something given by someone else, and she didn't have to spend a penny, it was all silver earned for nothing, could she be unhappy.

Now she looks forward to Chi Fei coming to visit her father-in-law's tent every day.

Because when he comes, he often brings some soap and soap as gifts.

Every time she received these, she would put away all the soaps except for the soap that was enough for him to use alone.

After receiving a certain amount, it will be sold to the second-tier dealer.

The money she sells will be used as her own private money, and no one will say anything, and she will make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Of course, Chi Fei didn't know about it, he was a seller and not a buyer, and he knew that although each piece of soap was sold for ten taels of silver, the cost price was only a dozen cents.

And he is a modern person in his bones, and he has always regarded soap as an ordinary daily necessities, and he does not feel that it is a very valuable thing.

Sometimes, when I bring soap and soap to the Chen tent, I feel a little embarrassed to take the goods in my store as gifts.

So he usually buys some snacks or fruits to put together, which looks less shabby.

He just wondered why this Aunt Liu was becoming more and more enthusiastic about him, and every time he saw him coming, he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

How did he know that people were treating him as a free delivery man, and he couldn't wait for him to come every day.

After following Aunt Liu into the house, Chi Fei saw that not only Chen's tent was there, but Chen's son Chen Yuanlin and grandson Chen Xiaozhi were also there.

Of course, the granddaughter and grandson-in-law of today's two protagonists, Chen Tent, are naturally here.

Chen Yuanlin, the son of Chen's tent, was only transferred back to the capital from the out-of-province branch of Dongsheng Rice Shop in the first half of this year to be the bookkeeper of the Chengxi branch.

If it weren't for the retirement of the account room of the Chengxi branch, Chen Yuanlin would not know when he would have the opportunity to return to the capital.

As for Chen Xiaozhi, the grandson of Chen's tent, he has been learning to make accounts with his father as an apprentice in the tent, because his father was transferred back to the capital, and he also came back.

Being able to return to the capital, Chen Yuanlin's family is very happy.

Although Chen Tent didn't say anything, he was definitely very happy in his heart. After all, the elderly want their sons and grandsons to be by their side.

Because Chi Fei was his father's student and often came to visit his father, Chen Yuanlin had a good impression of Chi Fei and welcomed him in very warmly.

As for Chen Xiaozhi, he is even happier, he is fourteen years old this year, only two years younger than Chi Fei, and similar to Chi Fei's age.

After seeing Chi Fei's mental arithmetic ability with his own eyes, he immediately regarded him as an idol. In addition, after learning that he had opened his own store as the owner at such a young age, he admired him even more.

"Brother Zhen, come and sit here, sit here." Chen Xiaozhi pulled him to sit down beside him very affectionately.

"You don't have to go to work today?" Chi Fei asked Chen Xiaozhi, who had a round head and a round brain.

"Because my sister and brother-in-law are coming over today, my father deliberately chose to rest today, and I will rest with me."

Chen Yuanlin opened his mouth and introduced, "Ah Zhen, this is my son-in-law Fang Youcai, my daughter Chen Xiaolin.

Youcai, this is my father's student, Su Zhen. ”

Chi Fei looked at Uncle Chen's son-in-law, and was surprised to find that the other party was still an acquaintance he knew before, that is, Fang Xiucai, who had been neighbors with him and Jian Shuqi.

I haven't seen each other for two years, and the other party has hardly changed, his face is still gray, his expression is serious, and he has the arrogance of a scholar.

Chi Fei recognized him, but he didn't recognize Chi Feilai.

After all, there was not much contact between the two sides before, and in the past two years, Chi Fei has grown a lot taller, which is obviously different from before.

Chi Fei bowed and said, "It turned out to be Fang Xiucai, I haven't seen him for a long time." I didn't expect you to become my teacher's grandson-in-law, the world is really small. ”

"You know me?" Fang Youcai asked suspiciously.

"You may have forgotten that I once lived in the courtyard on Hulu Street in the south of the city, and I have been a neighbor with you for a while."

Fang Youcai looked him up and down for a while, and finally remembered who he was, and then his eyes unconsciously showed a trace of disdain, "It turned out to be you, I remembered." ”

Fang Youcai's only impression of Chi Fei was that he had rented the tenant of the room at the back of the courtyard.

According to the distribution of the orthodox courtyard pattern, the two places of the inverted seat room and the back cover room are for the people to live in, and they are inherently inferior.

Therefore, unless you are nervous about money, most people will not rent this kind of room and feel unlucky. It is completely unacceptable for Qinggao scholars, and they would rather sleep on the street than live.

And Chi Fei is the one who is greedy and chooses to live there, Fang Youcai, as a showman, looks down on such a person.

As soon as Chi Fei looked at his expression, he knew that this person was still the same as before, his eyes were above the top, and he didn't take others in his eyes.

Others don't know about the lawsuit between the two, and after hearing that they used to be neighbors, they think it's a coincidence.

The only place where Fang Youcai can get his hands on it is his status as a showman, Aunt Liu, who likes to show off to others, bragged to Su Zhen with great interest about how her son-in-law learned to be rich and five cars, and he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and he will definitely be able to be admitted to the next township examination and so on.

Of course, Chi Fei politely attached a few good words, after all, today, the whole family of Chen's tent room was specially gathered together to welcome this grandson-in-law. Anyway, you don't need money to say good things, so it's good to say a few more words to make everyone happy.

Sure enough, Chi Fei's words made Aunt Liu very happy, and in order to vote for Li, after praising her son-in-law, she began to praise Chi Fei again.

When talking about Chi Fei opening a store as an owner at a young age, and selling the hottest soaps and soaps now, Aunt Liu couldn't help but show a strong envy.

She herself resold soap, and each piece was only sold for two taels of silver. However, Chi Fei, who is the owner of Suiyuan soap shop, really sells each piece of soap for ten taels of silver.

Just imagining how much money he can make every day, Aunt Liu is really running out of saliva.

Perhaps because Aunt Liu's envy of Chi Fei was too obvious, Fang Youcai, who originally appeared as the protagonist today, couldn't help but be a little displeased.

In addition, he looked down on Chi Fei in the first place, so he deliberately exhorted in a tone of teaching others, "I haven't seen you for two years, it turns out that you are in business."

You must know that the status of merchants is the lowest.

You're young, so you should study hard. Even if you can't study, you can work as a farmer at home, so why bother to be degenerate. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the audience suddenly cooled down.

Chi Fei himself is nothing, because he has long known that this party is talented and pretentious, otherwise he would not have quarreled with Jian Shuqi over such a trivial matter as whether he should read the book or not.

In addition, for the sake of Chen's tent, he didn't bother to deal with this kind of rotten Confucianism with a brain in water.

However, just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't. When the three of Chen's father, son, and grandson heard this, their faces suddenly became ugly.

Because these words scolded not only Chi Fei alone, but also their family.

According to him, if the merchants are the lowest, then what are the people who have worked for the merchants all their lives?!

Chen Yuanlin, who was already a little dissatisfied with the other party's talent, was suddenly full of disgust for this son-in-law.

He now regrets very much that he married his daughter to someone like Fang Youcai.

In fact, when the matchmaker came to Fang Youcai to be a matchmaker two years ago, Chen Yuanlin also deliberately asked for leave from a branch outside the province to come back to see what kind of person the other party was.

He has seen many examples of how matchmakers describe a person with a broken leg as slightly lame and a blind man as a person with poor eyes, so he knows that the matchmaker's words cannot be fully trusted, and he must see the man himself before he can do it.

After a careful visit, he quickly found out the details of Fang Youcai.

This Fang Youcai is indeed a showman, he is not very old, and he has no physical disabilities.

Unfortunately, both parents died, and his parents died separately when he was in his twenties, leaving only one house.

Fang Youcai, who was admitted to Xiucai as a teenager, sold his only house in order to continue the imperial examination, and then rented a room in a courtyard house in the south of the city.

On weekdays, he makes a living by helping people write letters and copy books, not to mention the steep walls of his home, he doesn't even have a home at all, and he is a veritable poor talent.

Chen Yuanlin would not consider such a person at all, but his wife and daughter had different opinions.

His wife felt that this party was talented and was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and it would definitely be no problem to be admitted to the Juren in the future. It is because he has nothing now that people are willing to agree to this marriage.

If someone is a rich talent, where will they consider their family? Don't even think about it. So this opportunity must be seized, and it will be gone.

His daughter, like his wife, felt that although he was poor, he was a showman after all, much better than those who were nothing.

In the future, once he is in high school, he will be a lifter at worst. If she is lucky, she may become an official directly as a jinshi, and then she will be an official wife.

Seeing that his wife and daughter strongly hoped that he should take care of this family business, Chen Yuanlin suddenly fell into a dilemma.

He can ignore his wife's side, but since his daughter is determined to marry that Xiucai, if he, as a father, insists on refusing, his daughter is likely to complain about him for the rest of his life in the future.

That's it, girls are extroverted. Since she wants to marry, let her marry, at most give her a little more dowry.

After thinking about it for a whole night, Chen Yuanlin finally agreed to the marriage.

Daughter Zhang Xiaolin and Chen Youcai only got married at the beginning of this year, after contacting this son-in-law, Chen Yuanlin, who has read countless people, soon found that this son-in-law has some habits of looking above the top, which makes Chen Yuanlin quite unhappy.

But the daughter is already married, what else can she do. As long as it's not too much, he'll forget it, maybe everyone who reads is like that.

However, today this party Youcai said this kind of thing in front of so many people, which really made Chen Yuanlin angry.

Seeing that her father-in-law, husband and even son were all angry, Aunt Liu hurriedly talked about other topics to deal with the past and avoid being cold.

Zhang Xiaolin, who was already married to Zhang Youcai and was a woman, also immediately echoed and helped her mother and mud.

With the efforts of the two, the atmosphere gradually became less ugly, but the expressions of Chen Yuanlin and his son always looked a little stiff.

As the head of the family, Chen Tent was too lazy to act, so he simply took Su Zhen to his study, not wanting to see this Fang Youcai again.

Sitting on the chair in the study, Chen Tent couldn't help but glance at Chi Fei more, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

It would be great if Su Zhen's child could be his grandson-in-law, it's a pity.

How did Chi Fei know that Chen Tent had such an idea, thinking that he was still angry with Fang Youcai, so he comforted, "Sir, everyone has their own chances, maybe this Fang Xiucai really has the day when the Toad Palace will win the crown." ”

Chen Tent sneered, "I don't know if this person will have one day, I only know that this person is mean and unkind, stubborn and self-serving, not a good person." Forget it, don't talk about him, if you continue to talk about it, you will only be angry with yourself, and it's not worth it.

By the way, have you finished writing any side stories? Can it be out next month? ”

Chi Fei was shocked by his words, and asked blankly, "Sir, don't tell you, you are also chasing?" ”

Seeing his surprised expression, Chen Tent couldn't help but smile a little proudly, "I didn't look at it originally, it was Xiao Zhi who was watching."

That kid loves you so much, and spends all day in my ear how wonderful and beautiful this book is.

One day when I had nothing to do, I picked it up and looked at it, but I didn't expect to be fascinated by it.

If I hadn't known that you were the author, I wouldn't have believed that you wrote this book. Be careful not to let that kid know about it, or he'll be bothering you every day. ”

At this moment, Chi Fei didn't feel happy, only Mo Ming's shame.

You must know that when he used to be an online writer, he never dared to tell his pen name and book titles to friends or acquaintances.

It's okay to not know, but it is really a strong sense of shame to let a friend or acquaintance who knows know read what I have written, and it is no different from a public execution.
