"This meteorite came too suddenly, this is probably not an auspicious omen!"

"Yes! Now our great chief and the monarch of the country, the god is infected with a strange disease in the prime of life, if there is an accident, I am afraid that it will be a situation of suspicion of the lord and the country! ”

Li Xing and Chen Chao booked a private seat in the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and chatted slowly with a few exquisite dim sums.

The two are considered successful people, they don't have to be busy with farm work, and it is rare to rest at home during this time, of course, they have to come to the teahouse to talk, taste tea, chat about national affairs, exchange information with each other, and wait for the pair of baby children to get out of school at noon.

The business of the tea horse plank road is not what everyone wants to do, one is to spend a lot of money to start, and the other is so remote that the silver road has never been peaceful, you don't have a diamond diamond can not do the porcelain work.

Li Chen and the others have accumulated a certain amount of contacts in the military circles, and after retiring, they partnered with several comrades-in-arms to sell tea and horse plank roads. Luckily, now they have their own careers and live a high-quality life.

"Listening to the old dean's heartfelt words today, it is very profitable, and it really speaks to the hearts of my generation. Brother Chao, what percentage of your donation is now to the Mongol Academy? ”

"According to the rules of our township, the rich should donate one percent of their net income as the fee for the Mongolian Academy. Well, the proportion of my donation now accounts for 3% of my net profit, and it is as much as 100 taels of silver in a year. Now that the people in the township are good, I think it's really worth the money. What about you, Brother Xing? ”

Chen Chao said quite complacently.

"I'm about seven percent, but I'm only half as much as yours." Li Xing reported his number.

The two are old friends who have been friends for life, and there are not many secrets between them. If someone listens to their conversation, they can calculate their annual income with just a little calculation.

"Admire! Admire! Brother Xing, your family only hires one family member to do chores, but you are willing to donate such a high percentage to the Mongolian Academy. That's enough extra for you to hire four more people to take care of the housework! ”

When it comes to hiring a family, Li Xing is very excited, he said: "The two female heads of my family are reluctant to hire more domestic helpers, and they both think that the life of stretching out their hands with clothes and opening their mouths for food always makes people feel unreliable. Today, for a family of four, it is more than enough for three people to share the housework. ”

"If you want to know that more idlers will have more idleness, if you hire a bad domestic helper, I am afraid that you will only be more angry, but it will not be beneficial."

"Brother Chao, I didn't say you, your family is only a family of six including your mother, but you employ as many as seventeen or eighteen family members, I really don't dare to agree!"

Without waiting for Chen Chao to explain, Li Xing continued to talk to himself:

"Money is something outside the body, my family is not burdened, and I should donate more to the Mongol Academy. As the old dean said, we are immersed in this pure folk customs, isn't this a unique enjoyment? ”

"You also often go out, those towns with poor morale, rich families please have a nursing home, and you have to bring three or five bodyguards with you when you go out, is that majestic? That's too tiring! I admire Li Tian's attitude towards the world, isn't this exactly the sentence we learned in the Mongolian Academy when we were young, 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are rich, you will help the world'? Although I am not a huge rich, I can't talk about helping the world at the same time, but I am willing to do my part for a peaceful Qingwan Township! ”

Chen Chao heard Li Xing's whispers and agreed with his attitude towards life. He scratched his head in embarrassment, sighed, and elaborated on why.

It turned out that although Chen's wife Wang Jiazhi was a young lady, she was a concubine in a side room, and she was treated unfairly when she was young. When Chen Chao married her, he was not the richest man in the party today, and his family was only slightly wealthy. At that time, the Wang family was interested in Chen Chao's ability and relationship to go north and south, east and west, but for Wang Jiazhi, it meant forcing her to marry in the countryside.

Fortunately, Chen Chao has the ability, and he has to borrow some help from the Wang family, and he has been sitting on the seat of the richest man in Qingwan Township for ten or eight years, and his financial resources have slightly exceeded that of the Wang family. In this way, Wang Jiazhi's pride was activated, and there was a subconscious idea of comparing himself with his mother's family, so it was logical to pay attention to some big pomp and circumstance.

"I love her, these things that are harmless, non-destructive, and within my ability, I will try my best to satisfy her!"

Chen Chao ended his explanation with a slightly sensual sentence, in exchange for Li Xing's recognition and understanding.

"Brother Xing, I have to be on par with you, I will donate five percent from this year. The extra part I discussed with the dean to improve the lives of the teachers and the board and lodging of those students who took the township and government examinations, and the rest can be used as a fixed stipend to reward those who are motivated and some students who are not from poor families and are willing to further their studies! ”

Chen Chao threw out this idea, which aroused Li Xing's great interest, and the two excitedly deliberated on the details of the matter.

Time is always unsatisfactory, when you are bored, it becomes slow and empty, and when you are busy, it becomes hurried but fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and after saying hello to the Mongolian Academy, Li Xing's father and son returned to the north, and the two fathers and daughters of the Chen family returned to the south.

On the way, Chen Fenglan chattered about her feelings in class for the first time, as well as some people and things she encountered, and of course she also focused on the visit of the crazy woman with a toad.

"You don't know, at that time, the fool slapped the table and stopped the audience, but I saw that he was holding that pair of horns, and he looked ridiculous. If he dared to be angry at this girl, he would have to beat him out of two more pairs of corners. Feng Lan said.

When this understatement came into his ears, Chen Chao reacted greatly. He stopped abruptly, pulled his daughter in his hand, and looked deeply into her eyes with a serious look.

When Chen Fenglan was surprised by her father's actions, Chen Chao's tone sank and he said solemnly: "Daughter! There are some things that you should say later, but now that you are more and more influenced by your mother, I will tell you about it as a father, and how much you can listen to it is your fate. ”

"What's the matter?" Feng Lan was even more confused.

"Do you know why fatherhood is successful?" Facing his daughter's puzzled gaze, Chen Chao said earnestly:

"Over the years, your Uncle Li has devoted himself to reading, while I have devoted myself to 'reading people'. The so-called 'reading people' is the art of observing people. You can judge whether a person is pure or treacherous, whether he is sincere or false, whether he is sincere or false, and whether he is true or false. ”

"Most of my business success has been based on these skills. This art of contemplating people is something that I slowly perceive and perceive with my heart. In addition to a pair of clear eyes, this kind of ability must also have a feeling in the heart, which requires talent, and it happens that the father's talent is good. ”

"I have seen countless people, and at a young age, Li Wen is a person who makes me more and more surprised. If you think about it, he often knocked a bag on your forehead, but every time he asked him to compete with you, he never saw the slightest hesitation or panic in his eyes. ”

This kind of character of not shrinking in the face of difficulties and having the courage to take responsibility in the face of problems, he has already appeared at such a young age, which is rare! Rare! Although he often seems to ask silly questions, most of them are ignored by us, but they are full of truth and precious! Valuable! ”

"Doesn't the fact that he can get up today show that he has a pure heart and is a trustworthy and upright person? Your Uncle Li said that he often practiced moves and never got discouraged, and always firmly believed that one day his hands and feet would be as usual, and his martial arts would surpass you. Isn't that called perseverance? ”

"A person with such a bearing and connotation is disgusted by your mother as a stinky. Your mother will only see the temporary shortcomings of others, but she can't see through their long-term advantages, which is the opinion of a woman with long hair and short knowledge. Although Li Wen has been inconvenient since he was a child, he can always make little progress through training. Isn't that another great way to work on the quality of perseverance? Suffering this setback at a young age, I'm afraid it's a blessing or a curse! ”

"Bole is a good horse, and Li Wen must be a great good man for his father."

"There are some people you miss and lose forever, you know, daughter?"

"What do I lose forever?" A long remark from his father made Chen Fenglan even more chaotic at a young age.

"Well, it's nothing." Chen Chao didn't go into detail for a while, but just made a suggestion to his daughter:

"When the Father only asks you to hate someone, use eight out of ten to find his faults, and two points to observe his strengths, remember! Remember! Li Wen is the one who wears the same heart lock as you, and you have to use at least three points to find his merits, which you must keep in mind. ”

"Okay, my daughter remembers! Father, please don't stare into people's eyes like that, think it's weird, let's go home quickly, I'm hungry. Chen Fenglan felt that it seemed not difficult to take three points to observe, so she readily agreed to her father. And she felt that her father was a little strange and strange at this moment, and she was reluctant to talk about it any more.

"Well, let's go, don't starve my baby girl!"

Chen Chao led his daughter home, thinking in his heart:

It turned out that Brother Xing was hindering the brotherhood and never mentioned to me the intention of retiring from the marriage. My lady always deliberately puts some cold noodles on display to others, I'm afraid that when we mention it, his family will be busy and agree, so I don't have to suffer from these birds.

However, Brother Xing, I won't do what you want. Because I value the brotherly relationship between you and me, of course it is better to kiss and kiss, and I really like Li Wen's son-in-law.

Li Wen has such a quality at a young age, and he doesn't know what kind of material he will become in the future, which is really curious. Boy, I won't miss you so easily, you can rest assured, you can be my son-in-law with peace of mind!

Lu Buwei has strange goods to live in, Brother Xing, do you know, brother, I also have it, it's your precious son, hahaha!

About 300 years later, the head of the Chen family at that time looked at the autobiography of his aunt and grandmother's ancestor, and after knowing that there was such a secret, his heart admired the ancestor's torch-like gaze and wonderful reading skills. It is even more fortunate that the Chen family has the opportunity to climb the big ship of the Li family, and only then will there be the opportunity for Chen Dai Li to become the overlord of one party.
