The bandit's face was less than a foot away from the nozzle, and Zhao Rui could even smell the stench of wine coming from his body.

Now is the time!

Zhao Rui directly pressed the nozzle!

"Hiss......"

The mist that ejected in an instant directly covered the entire face of the bandit.

"Ahh Hurt! It hurts me to death......"

The thief covered his face and fell to the ground, tears gushing out along with snot, rolling and shouting constantly.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Rui pulled Lin Shizhao and hurriedly ran down the mountain.

But just after running a short distance, Lin Shizhao was unstable, and the garlic under his feet fell directly.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that he hadn't run far, Zhao Rui couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and hurriedly pulled Lin Shizhao up.

"Oops! My foot is twisted! ”

Lin Shizhao took Zhao Rui's hand, and slammed one foot a few times in pain, and cold sweat broke out in pain.

Really, Pig Mate!

Zhao Rui anxiously looked in the direction of the bandit, and saw that he had changed from lying down to squatting, but his hands were still covering his eyes.

"Let's go! I'll help you! ”

Zhao Rui didn't care about blaming, he directly put up Lin Shizhao's arm and quickly ran out of the bandit's sight with him.

The two ran all the way to the vicinity of the house, and Zhao Rui couldn't see the shadow of the bandit when he turned around, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, I really can't walk, you can carry me!"

Lin Shizhao gritted his teeth and gasped for breath between his noses, obviously in extreme pain.

"You...... All right! Come on, I'll send you home! ”

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old Lin Shizhao still had some childish childishness, Zhao Rui's heart softened, leaned down, and let Lin Shizhao go up to his back.

Don't look at Lin Shizhao as a minor, because he is strong, it is estimated that his weight is about the same as that of the emaciated Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui had a hard time carrying him, but fortunately, he returned to the county, and he didn't have to worry about the thieves catching up.

"We still have bandits here?"

Returning to the street of the county seat, watching the flow of people coming and going, Zhao Rui relaxed and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, big brother, it seems that you have really forgotten that these bandits are the wanderers of the Northland, and they all have set up camp on the Spirit Mountain, and they live by plundering the caravans. And they also like to drink, most of the thieves just now went down the mountain to buy wine, we have to hurry up, let him see us and be in trouble!" ”

Zhao Rui felt the weight on his back and felt helpless for a while, now it is already the fastest speed, okay!

Following the direction pointed by Lin Shizhao, Zhao Rui had already seen the Lin family's big tiled house from afar.

"Don't you care about the officials? Let them harm the people? ”

"Now in this world, those who are soldiers rely on their relationships to eat silver, who has nothing to do with the bandits, the county order has organized a team to go up the mountain to encircle and suppress before, but they have all been beaten down the mountain by fart!" Lin Shizhao shook his head and sighed.

When Zhao Rui heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, the current government is so cowardly, and it is also a good time to develop its own power.

When he arrived at the door of Lin's house, Lin Shizhao didn't get off his back and knocked on the knocker directly.

Not long after, a servant opened the door and welcomed Zhao Rui and Lin Shizhao in.

The two house slaves supported Lin Shizhao on the left and on the right, and took Zhao Rui into the living room of the outer courtyard together.

Both of them sat down, one servant went to inform the lady, and the other went to make tea and pour water.

A set of blue and white porcelain bowls was brought to Zhao Rui, and Zhao Rui was first attracted by the exquisite patterns of the bowls, and he kept looking at it in his hand.

"Does Big Brother like it? This is 'Huiqing', which is specially sold to the Hu people of the Western Regions, and my father has it in his store, and I will give you a few sets when the time comes. ”

"Oh, it turns out that your house is a porcelain shop...... That's a good dare, in the future, I will trade with the Hu people, and naturally I will inevitably buy more porcelain from your family. ”

Zhao Rui smiled, it turned out that his father-in-law's family was dealing in porcelain, which was much more convenient.

At this time, the wife of the Lin family, that is, Lin Shizhao's mother, walked into the outer hall.

Just now, the servant came to report that the young master had broken his foot, and said that it was sent by the young master of the Zhao family, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but be a little surprised, after hearing that the Zhao family had an accident, Zhao Rui was grieving at home, why did he come to the door today.

"Auntie!"

Seeing the future mother-in-law, Zhao Rui quickly stood up to salute.

"Well, Changshun is here, sit down......"

Mrs. Lin's attitude was cold, and when she saw Zhao Rui, she thought of her daughter, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Auntie, I have changed my name now, I am called Zhao Rui, and the cursive characters are correct."

After Zhao Rui sat down, he looked at Mrs. Lin, only to see that she was wearing a short shirt and a long skirt and a silk scarf, and she did look much richer than the ordinary women on the street.

"Well, it's not bad to change it, and it can also turn the momentum."

Mrs. Lin nodded and sat down next to Lin Shizhao. After all, Zhao Rui is here to send her injured son, and even if Mrs. Lin is not satisfied, it is inconvenient to attack immediately.

Mrs. Lin bent down to look at her son's ankle, which had swollen into a bruised bag, and she couldn't help but be angry at the same time.

"Shizhao, isn't this time the private school just got out of school? Where did you hurt your foot? How did you come back so early? ”

Lin Shizhao was frightened by the bandits before, but he really didn't pay attention to this, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"But you're skipping school again?"

What is the son like, being a mother naturally knows in her heart, he has had a bad record of skipping school before, Mrs. Lin hated iron and steel, and taught Lin Shizhao a hard lesson.

"Look at the way you are now, the eldest husband has made a living, either by fame or wealth, what do you have now? Your father has worked hard to create a family business, but he didn't keep it for you! If you don't want to read it, you might as well buy it with your dad as soon as possible! ”

When Lin Shizhao heard this, his face turned green, and he didn't go with him.

Whether it is going to the magnetic kiln or going to the South China Sea, it is a journey of nearly 1,000 miles, and Lin Shizhao doesn't want to think about the sins he suffered along the way, he even thinks that it is not good to sell anything at home, but he wants to sell porcelain. The county can only buy how much in a year, and if you want to make money, you still have to go to the South China Sea to trade with the Hu people.

Anyway, it's good to do anything, Lin Shizhao is only reluctant to sell porcelain.

"Mother, I didn't skip school on purpose, it was Brother Zhao who said that he was looking for me for something, and then accidentally broke his foot, so he came back early......"

Lin Shizhao winked desperately at Zhao Rui in private, with a pitiful look on his face, wanting Zhao Rui to help him out of the siege.

"Nonsense! What can he do, Shizhao, if you lie, your father will definitely serve the family law when he comes back! ”

Mrs. Lin glanced at Zhao Rui with disdain, and then angrily at her son.

The situation of the Zhao family, as the Lin family, as a prospective family, is naturally very clear, everything that their family can sell has been sold, and it would be good to be able to eat now.

This bastard! Even kicking the ball?

Zhao Rui felt helpless for a while, but after all, Lin Shizhao's feelings for him were a sincere brother, so Zhao Rui decided to help him.

"Auntie, Shizhao is right, I do have something to ask him to help with!"

"Huh?"

Mrs. Lin looked at Zhao Rui with doubts.

In addition to often coming to his house when he was a child, Zhao Rui was busy studying after becoming an adult, and because he was a quasi-in-law, there was a saying that men and women had one defense, so Zhao Rui had not come to the door again for many years.

Zhao Rui looked more delicate when he was a child, and he was honest, and he was more in line with Mrs. Lin's heart.

I haven't seen him in the past few years, and Zhao Rui is even more heroic and upright.

Although there is no problem in appearance, but economically it is not worthy of the Lin family at all.

Therefore, no matter how good-looking Zhao Rui is, he is inferior in Mrs. Lin's heart.

"Well, I have some ways to get some unusual overseas gadgets and prepare to open a shop on the street. Usually, I am busy with the purchase, the store lacks a shopkeeper, think about it, or Shizhao is the most suitable, he has the shrewdness of an uncle and aunt, and he will definitely help me take care of the store. ”

Zhao Rui's words made Lin Shizhao stunned, he couldn't imagine that this future brother-in-law would be angry when he changed his previous honest bookishness, and he would lie without blinking!

And Zhao Rui temporarily decided to find Lin Shizhao as the shopkeeper, which can be regarded as a more reasonable arrangement.

"Hmph~ Why did you hire our family Shizhao, our own shop is still short of people to take care of it!"

Mrs. Lin's disdainful attitude towards Zhao Rui was undoubtedly revealed, and she clearly did not believe that Zhao Rui had such ability, and if it weren't for Lin Shizhao's excuse of studying, she might have gone to the porcelain shop at home to help by now.

"Young people, naturally have to be down-to-earth, you can't think of a play, your family has suffered a disaster, and you can't learn from others to do business and waste money, or to win a fame is the right way!"

Most of the literati in the Song Dynasty were high-spirited, and many people had the idea of not marrying a wife without fame, and Mrs. Lin was also thinking about delaying some time, because Lin Mengyao was 16 years old and Zhao Rui was 20 years old, and they had already reached the age when they could get married.

"Hehe, auntie, don't you want to know how much money I pay!"

Zhao Rui took out a stack of Jiaozi from his arms, found a hundred taels of silver, and handed it to Lin Shizhao.

"This is one hundred taels, which is considered the commission I advanced to Shizhao for half a year, of course, not including dividends."

"Uh...... Brother Zhao, is this true? ”

Lin Shizhao was excited, and the Jiaozi in his hand couldn't stop trembling.

Lin Shizhao is playful on weekdays, although he has regretted it, but he feels that he is really not the material for reading, so he simply breaks the jar and breaks it, I really can't imagine that someone will spend so much money to hire him as a shopkeeper now.

Lin Shizhao's family education is very strict, he usually spends some copper plates, and he has never seen such a large amount of Jiaozi, and now this hundred taels of Jiaozi is like a dream in his hand.

Mrs. Lin looked at Zhao Rui's stack of silver tickets, and she was also dumbfounded, with a surprise on her face that she couldn't hide.

Could it be that he Zhao Rui really has the talent to do business?

I had obviously inquired before, but the Zhao family was left with a house and a few acres of paddy fields, and they definitely couldn't come up with so many friends.

And the commission of 200 taels a year is indeed a lot, which is equivalent to the profit of the porcelain shop for half a year.

But Zhao Rui's sudden wealth still made Mrs. Lin worried.

It seems that it is necessary to make the matter of the marriage contract clear.
