For Cai Xing, it was not difficult to make friends with Confucian scholars, ministers, and even princes of the imperial family.

But how to make friends with a common man was something he had never thought about.

His current official position is to order a mao, so every day, he has a lot of leisure to observe Zhou Quan's actions.

"This little guy is really a little extraordinary!"

After staring at it for a long time, no matter how stupid Cai Xing is, he can also find some abnormalities from Zhou Quan.

For example, Zhou Quan sent a group of teenagers of his age to the group, and these teenagers pushed popsicle carts every day, and the Beijing division went around to sell popsicles one by one.

When Cai Xing was bored, he estimated that when these teenagers sold as many as 3,000 popsicles every day, at the average price of four Wen, it was 12 yuan a day.

The Cai family is rich, so they naturally don't look down on these twelve guan money, but Cai Xing is not his two cousins who don't even know where the rice comes from.

"This kid will make money, but it's a pity that it's only a little money, and he can only earn three or four months a year, otherwise he will have a powerful family to reach out, and if I help at that time, I will just recruit this person." Cai Xing secretly felt a little pity.

The second thing that made Cai Xing feel strange was that this young man liked to make friends with craftsmen.

In these days, in front of Zhou's house, Cai Xing knew carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers, potters, and some of them although they didn't know what industry they were engaged in, but judging by their expressions, they should also be craftsmen.

Zhou Quan is not allowed to make friends with these craftsmen, and he is very kind to everyone, although in terms of identity, the identity of Zhou Quan's son is also considered to be the bottom, but it is higher than these craftsmen.

"To make friends with craftsmen, it must be to rely on their skills, or Zhou Quan still has other ways to make money, and it will fall on the craftsmen in the future?" Cai Xing secretly speculated.

The third thing that made Cai Xing feel strange was that Zhou Quan was teaching those teenagers to read.

With the strength of the Cai family, it is not difficult to find out something in the Jingshi. Therefore, Cai Xing even had a few pieces of paper in his hand, which were the scratch papers thrown out by Zhou Quan after teaching those teenagers to read.

The handwriting on it, Cai Xing went to consult the teachings and doctors in Taixue, but he still didn't know it.

These three differences made Cai Xing interested in it, not because of his father's orders, but because he thought about it.

After all, he is the grandson of Cai Jing, and after he was really interested, he didn't bother to find any excuse, and directly asked Zhou Quan to come to him.

"What does this symbol mean?"

To the south of Yujie, after crossing the state bridge, there is a big restaurant, called Zhangjia Hotel. After Zhou Quan was brought here, Cai Xing asked head-on.

Seeing those few pieces of scratch paper, Zhou Quan's heart sank.

Everything is going well for him these days, and the people he wants to choose have it, and he has more than ten copper coins per day, and the goal of earning one hundred has been achieved. Proud, I couldn't help but get a little carried away, and at this time, Cai Xing took the manuscript paper and drank it, and suddenly sobered up.

This is still the powerful and hierarchical Great Song Dynasty, he is still just the son of a small official and a citizen of the market, and his every move, if he is a little out of line, he may be targeted by the powerful.

He recognized Cai Xing, but he didn't know Cai Xing's identity, and said with a smile: "Childe, this is just a number given by the villain, and it was originally used to facilitate accounting." ”

"Explain it for me." Cai Xingdao.

"Oh, this is one, this is two......"

Zhou Quan explained those numbers, and Cai Xing's eyes were full of surprise, and when he heard Zhou Quan explain the operation symbols such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, he nodded again and again.

"I don't think you have such skills, when today, you are studying arithmetic, do you want to enroll?" Cai Xing asked.

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and muttered secretly in his heart: "This guy is so big!" ”

Zhao Ji set up subjects to teach arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, and medicine in Taixue, although this son of heaven was infamous in later generations, but the importance of these subjects was indeed better than before. There are only more than 200 students enrolled in arithmetic, and the meaning of this person's words can insert Zhou Quanan into these more than 200 people, if it is not boasting, his ability is indeed staggering.

However, Zhou Quan has no interest in going to Taixue, you must know that Taixue now implements the three-way method, and the academic task is very hard, when Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao first got married, they were too students, and they can only go home to meet Li Qingzhao at the end of the month every month, and the strict management of the school is not inferior to the senior high school of later generations.

"How can a kid dare to enter arithmetic, these are not the skills of the kid, he met a Hu merchant from the Western Regions in the old years, these things are all learned from Hu Shang. Nahu Shang said that he had been to Tianzhu and learned this kind of number symbol in Tianzhu. Zhou Quan's mouth is nonsense.

"Don't want to go to arithmetic?" Cai Xing frowned, and heard Zhou Quan's refusal.

He was a little unhappy in his heart, it was not difficult for him to operate a person to enter arithmetic, but it was not easy to say, and the Cai family had to get a lot of favors. He originally thought that if he showed his mouth, this market boy must be a fart coming up, hugging his thighs to thank him, but the other party didn't know how to lift!

"Don't dare to hide it from my son, I can't endure hardship, and I'm too tired to do so." Zhou Quan said with a smile.

This remark made Cai Xing feel the same way, and nodded again and again: "This is also true...... Ahem, don't talk about the affairs of the court! ”

"Isn't that what Childe asked...... By the way, haven't you asked Gongzi for his name? Zhou Quan felt at this time that although the son in front of him was a little arrogant, he was still a good person, after all, his silver coin was easy to deceive.

"Yu's surname is Cai." Cai Xing replied.

"My son-in-law is the grandson of the Duke of Chu and the son of Master Cai of Longtu Pavilion. A companion next to him shouted.

This string of family backgrounds made Zhou Quan turn his head and think for a while, and then suddenly understood that this guy in front of him turned out to be Cai Jing's grandson and Cai You's son!

Zhou Quan doesn't know Cai You's deeds very well, but Cai Jing's name, how can he not know! After confirming that he was in Song Huizong, Zhou Quan specially inquired about a few people, Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian, these guys who once left their names in "Water Margin", how could he not pay attention?

"Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be Cai Gongzi!" Zhou Quan is not stupid, naturally he will not put on a straight face and say, "Your grandfather is an old traitor, your father is a big traitor, you are a little traitor", that looks cool, but it can't be cool afterwards.

And at this time, Zhou Quan was still thinking about whether he could use the power of this little traitor of the Cai family to get some benefits for himself.

"I think you're a talent, and my family just needs a guest who is proficient in arithmetic, would you like to come?" Cai Xing asked again.

The meaning of his solicitation was very clear, and several of the entourages around him were all envious. You must know that the Cai family's doorman, as long as he pleases the master, is released as an official, or even stays in the capital as a minor official, it is a common thing!

Even if you are not an official, you can get credit in the Cai Mansion, the power is not small, and there are many opportunities to make oil and water, just by being entrusted with help, you can also have hundreds of thousands of dollars a year!

In the minds of Cai Xing and his entourage, this time Zhou Quan should always bow down with surprise on his face, and then hurriedly sing and thank you.

It's just that Zhou Quan surprised them again.

Scratching his head, Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Childe said that I laughed, I am lazy, but I can't stand the constraints of the master's family, just be as free as I am now." ”

"Huh?" Cai Xing's face suddenly sank.

"I don't know how to lift, boy, do you know how many people want to enter the Cai Mansion as slaves and maids? Let you be a doorman, you dare to push back! The entourage was originally envious and jealous of Zhou Quan's attention, and at this time, he suddenly seized the opportunity to turn all his envy and jealousy into hatred.

If Cai Xing opened such a mouth by himself, he was about to tear the dough, and Zhou Quan really had to be careful.

It can be seen that the person who said this is just an entourage, and Zhou Quan understands in his heart that his use value in Cai Xing's mind is higher than that of a doorman.

With the power of Caifu, what can you fancy him?

With his mind racing, Zhou Quan didn't believe that the other party was interested in his arithmetic ability, and there must be something he didn't know that fell into the eyes of Cai Fu.

"The villain is in the market, common people use scales to weigh, although the scale is small, it can weigh thousands of catties, but it is not good to change the feathers. The villain is the feather, what the son is looking for is to weigh the tuo, let the feather do the work of the tuo, and the mistake of his life is small, and the matter of the master's family is big. Zhou Quan said with a smile.

His analogy made Cai Xing's brows stretch slightly, even if he knew that this was still Zhou Quan's refusal, it was much better than the wording just now.

However, he didn't want to give up, and was about to make another promise, when he suddenly heard footsteps at the staircase of the restaurant, and it was coming straight to him.

Cai Xing raised his eyes and looked slightly surprised, Zhou Quan looked back and was stunned for a moment.

He Jingfu, whom he had seen, walked up with a person and swayed.

This person Zhou Quan didn't know was dignified, and he could even be said to be extremely handsome, with big sleeves and crowns, and he looked like he had an extraordinary temperament. It's just that when he laughs, his eyes are shining, and he looks a little frivolous.

"Zhou Xiaolang, it turns out that you are here!" When He Jingfu saw Zhou Quan, he didn't have the original shame and anger at all, but was very affectionate.

The people around him bowed to Cai Xing: "It turned out that Cai Yannei was here, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Cai Xing reluctantly got up, looking a little displeased: "Li Xiaoshu!" ”

The so-called school book is the school book, but since the famous prostitute Xue Tao in the Tang Dynasty, the prostitute in the Qinglou is often also called the female school book. Cai Xing called this person in this way, which shows that he actually looks down on this person.

The man's eyes flashed, his expression was calm, and then he bowed his hand to Zhou Quan: "Brother An told me about Zhou Xiaolang a long time ago, when I saw him today, he was really a young talent, fortunately, fortunately!" ”
