Drum Tower, an elegant room on the second floor of Shengji Restaurant, the door is slightly open, the two of them sit facing each other, and there are four plates of eight dishes and two soups on the table of eight immortals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Sitting at the top was Jin Fuzhai's shopkeeper Chen, and sitting with his back to the door was Lin Juren, who had taught in Jia Wei's training class.

"Cousin, this Shengji is not badly aged, I'll give you another glass." Lin Juren picked up the sprinkling cup and said to Shopkeeper Chen with a smile.

"Built, put down, put down, don't be in a hurry to drink the wine, talk about things first, between our relatives, there is no need to be polite." Seeing this, Shopkeeper Chen frowned slightly and waved his hand at Lin Juren. Lin Juren was helpless, so he had to put down his wine glass, although he still had a smile on his face, the atmosphere was slightly cold.

Shopkeeper Chen ignored it, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited for the other party to speak while sipping tea.

Speaking of which, the two can barely be counted as relatives, and a close cousin of the shopkeeper Chen married an uncle of Lin Juren. A few years ago, Chen shopkeeper came to the capital from Suzhou, took over the business of Jin Fu Zhai, and when he arrived in the capital, he visited Lin Juren, but through a period of contact, he found that Lin Juren had read a stomach of poetry books, but his knowledge was shallow, and in addition to the rhetoric, there were some fake Qinggao, and he did not look up to him as the Jin Fu Zhai shopkeeper.

Gradually, the relationship between the two faded, except for the New Year's Festival, they hardly moved around on weekdays.

In the past few years, the two sessions of the examination, Lin Juren are all named Sun Shan, disheartened, unwilling to take the exam again, so he waited in the Ministry of Officials, wanted to be a small official, and because he couldn't find a way, he had to sit at home and wait, Chen shopkeeper saw this situation, more and more estranged from it, originally he interacted with Lin Juren, is to recognize a family of official relatives, now Lin Juren is not an official, but also has a high shelf, why should he come.

Today, Lin Juren invited him to dine at this Shengji restaurant near Jinfu Zhai, he couldn't help muttering, courteous to others, there must be something to ask for, Lin Juren almost did not take the initiative to act, why did he do it today?

When he sat down in the elegant room, Lin Juren raised his glass frequently, and after a while, he let him pour seven or eight glasses, a drunken and easy to talk about, Chen Shopkeeper couldn't help but get bored, he didn't have any spare time to entertain the other party, just thinking that the other party would speak as soon as possible, he would accept what he could promise, and if he couldn't promise, he would politely push it away, and there were still some things waiting for him to deal with in the store

Lin Juren usually didn't care much about Chen's shopkeeper, and today he took the initiative to invite him out to drink, thinking that the other party would be a little flattered, but he didn't expect the other party to pick up the shelf, and he didn't drink the wine of the salute, and he couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed, but he had to ask for someone, and he could only press it.

After considering his tone for a while, Lin Juren smiled and said, "What my cousin said is also true, my cousin is in the business, so he must know about the enrollment of the Dao trial training class a while ago, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Chen nodded.

Of course he knows about this matter, there is no businessman in the capital who does not know about it, it is said that it was done by a son named Jia Wei in Rongguo Mansion, everyone mentioned it, and they all praised this Jia Gongzi, thinking that the future is terrifying, this business vision and action, many old businessmen who have been in business for many years can not compare.

But what did Lin Juren mean by saying this to him?

He wondered in his heart, but he didn't ask much.

"To hide from my cousin, I was hired to teach in the training class at that time, naturally, as a lifter, it was not hard, and the remuneration was also generous, and I knew all about the preparation and opening of the training class. Speaking of which, this is really a profitable business, therefore, I discussed a few times with a few colleagues who were teaching in the training class at that time, and also wanted to hold a training class, just August is the government test of Shuntianfu this year, and now I have to prepare in advance Everything else is proper, but the rest of the colleagues in terms of money are almost together, only I put some land a while ago, and my hand is a little tight, and there are four or five hundred taels of silver, and I can't make it up for a while. Lin Juren then went on and told the matter again.

Chen shopkeeper listened, but breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Lin Juren was looking for him, is to introduce what relatives into Jin Fu Zhai to do things, although he is the big shopkeeper of Jin Fu Zhai in the capital, the business here, the owner gave him full authority, but he is not good to hinder the relatives face, everyone is stuffed inside, if it is an apprentice, it is good to say, as long as the duty is down-to-earth, it doesn't hurt to accept it, like a small shopkeeper, account room and the like, it is basically a radish and a pit, and they are all old people of Jin Fu Zhai, skilled in business, and he also uses it easily, It is impossible for them to vacate and leave a place for others, but in this way, it is natural to refuse Lin Juren, no matter what, they will always offend the other party.

Although he doesn't have much affection for Lin Juren, it is good not to offend if he can not offend.

As the big shopkeeper of Jin Fuzhai, his monthly salary is 100 taels of silver, plus some dividends, there are more than 2,000 taels of silver a year, and in a few years, the family has saved thousands of taels of silver.

Lin Juren's shortfall was four or five hundred taels of silver, although it was not a small amount, he could still afford to borrow it.

However, at this time, the shopkeeper Chen frowned, but he heard that there were many people in the capital who wanted to run a government trial training class at the same time, probably because of the red-eyed Jia Gongzi who made a lot of money by running the trial training class, and he rushed up, and Lin Juren did the same.

Shopkeeper Chen did not specifically study the business of the training class, but the businessman's intuition made him vaguely feel that the practice of surging up in the same period could only be cannibalism, and most of the training classes had a lot of risks.

That Jia Gongzi should have already thought about it, otherwise why didn't he hear the movement of him returning to this business?

: Make up later.
