Chapter 527: Pressure
"If you still have the leisure time to complain here, you might as well hurry up and study, and wait for the test results to come out one day, won't you have to work so hard in the academy, right?"
Su Zhirou, who was also helping in the store on the side, walked over with a stack of red paper in her hand, glanced at it, and expressed her disdain for Sheng Yunting's current performance.
"According to me, this imperial examination is so rigid, as long as you memorize some ancient texts, isn't it much simpler than the goal that we want to practice in the Seeking Divine Society?"
Sheng Yunting was unconvinced, and sneered: "Sure enough, the hair is long and the knowledge is short, if it is really that simple, why are there only so many people who can stand out in the imperial examination every time?" ”
"Anyway, I'm not interested in the imperial examination." Su Zhirou handed the stack of red paper to Du Bai, "Sister said, you need a lot of couplets, think about it, only you are suitable for this task, brother-in-law." ”
Although she didn't know much about calligraphy, she had to admit that Du Bai's writing did look very comfortable. In her mind, it must be a sign of good handwriting......
And now that the official opening is about to begin, it is better to let my brother-in-law do the work on my behalf, rather than spending some more money to ask other calligraphers to write it.
Du Bai was quite willing to take on this job, after all, the characters he wrote could also play a role in warding off evil spirits to some extent, and they were much easier to use than ordinary calligraphy.
However, while he was writing, Sheng Yunting looked down at the little spider for a while, suddenly remembered something, looked up and smiled: "By the way, speaking of which, I also met several of our classmates in the academy, and everyone discussed together to wait until the end of the government examination and have some free time, so they came out together to get together." ”
It's not surprising to meet like-minded people in this kind of academy, after all, people like this kind of god-seeking society are full of energetic and idle young people.
However, young people like this tend to be keen on risky things, and they may encounter some terrible dangers. Du Bai felt that he still needed to pay attention to this, especially the two around him.
"You two wait!"
Thinking about it like this, Du Bai simply wrote two notes and gave them to the two of them, the previous one in Sheng Yunting had been damaged, and although Su Zhirou's didn't know if it was still there, it was safer to have one more.
For this seemingly inconspicuous gift, Sheng Yunting had experienced it before, and knew that this thing was indeed useful, so he hid it as a treasure, but he didn't forget to invite him when he left, hoping to come to the party together then.
However, Du Bai wrote the couplet seriously, and refused without raising his head, and replied: "I am not a member of your society, and it is not interesting to participate, so it is more interesting to watch and write at home." ”
After experiencing the previous events, he has roughly recognized the essence of this society, there is nothing valuable, it is just a child's self-indulgent game, and he, an adult, will not get involved.
Sheng Yunting probably understood what he meant, so he could only shake his head with some regret: "That's really a pity...... Brother Du, you are so capable, and you know many stories that we don't know, and your failure to come is a big loss for us. ”
And because the venue for this meeting is in a private house, which is relatively clean, Su Zhirou can also go openly, and naturally there is no need for Du Bai to cover up.
Du Bai didn't pay attention to these children's things, and his eyes were mainly on the operation of the store.
In the next two days, when the store was about to officially open, I wanted to invite some friends to support the scene, at least to gain some popularity, but as expected, except for the two brothers of the Lu family, all the friends who Xu Zhiyan invited to help before all excused themselves and said that they were sick or had other important things, and they all excused themselves.
This made Xu Zhiyan seem a little embarrassed, but he also knew that he couldn't blame them too much, so he could only smile bitterly in front of Du Bai and said, "I probably got some news too." Some people say that Deputy Envoy Fan already knew that the Su family had come to the mansion, so he secretly warned some people, so that they did not dare to interfere at will and even turn to help deal with you together. ”
"With his family background, it is difficult for anyone to refuse directly. But because I can't get over my face, the best way is not to help each other, and they all pretend to be sick at home, for fear that something will happen. ”
"Do you use this method......" Du Bai nodded slightly, and then glanced at him, "He should have found Xu Gongzi as well, right?" ”
"Nature is found." Xu Zhiyan nodded, after all, he could even be regarded as the first person to bring the Su family into the capital city, and he spared no effort to help the Su family develop behind his back, there was almost no meaning to hide, and the other party only needed to ask a little to know.
However, Du Bai saw that there was no embarrassment in his expression, so he could guess that this matter should not have caused him trouble.
Sure enough, Xu Zhiyan continued: "Although his family background is big, I have the affection of my uncle, so I don't have to be afraid of him." And the elders of the other party will not take the initiative to help him out in this kind of trivial matter of children's private affairs, so the two of us should be regarded as neither of us can help each other......"
"As I said before, at least now the other party doesn't dare to deal with the Su family on the bright side, but the secret hand behind this still needs to be paid attention to."
In fact, there are some things that are not explicitly stated, but Du Bai can probably guess it. In the eyes of outsiders, the overall situation now is the confrontation between Xu Zhiyan and Fan Yilin, whether it is the Su family or the Rong family, they may just be chess pieces in the hands of the two, and no one dares to mix in at will so as not to cause a disaster.
But I'm afraid no one would have expected that Xu Zhiyan would do this because he didn't want to make things too big and even save the other party's life.
In his heart, at this moment, Fan Yilin was dancing on the edge of the cliff, and he was desperately trying to walk towards the cliff, but he still pulled the other party hard, so as not to fall into the endless abyss.
After all, if it really ruined the prospects of the Su family and made this strange man who could communicate with ghosts and gods angry, it was hard to say whether his life would be lost. Even death may not be the final result, but the soul will suffer......
Under this pressure, the Su family's first store in Fucheng was officially opened in a slightly low-key manner.
In the meantime, except for the two brothers of the Lu family, one fat and one thin, who came to celebrate, there was no special wave.
Even business was deserted, and there were no new customers, except for a few ordinary people who came to see the newly opened shops and bought cheap porcelain.
Su Wanmiao and Du Bai were not too impatient at this point. After all, they haven't started to be famous, and everyone except the nearby neighbors may not even know about the new store here.
What really wants to help is the help of the Lu family in the Chamber of Commerce.
