After buying cloth and jewelry, the two of them planned to go to the grocery store to buy some daily necessities.

was strolling, but he didn't notice that he passed by the door of Fang Kee's grocery store.

Gao Jincai stood at the door and looked at the two of them, his impression of Chen Linxiao's brother-in-law was very thin, let alone Chen Xiaoshu.

It's just that some time ago, I heard my wife say that the Chen family was separated, and Chen Linxiao separated it separately, and started a small business, and I heard that the business was quite prosperous.

Seeing that the two of them were about to enter the grocery store opposite the door, Gao Jincai gritted his teeth and shouted tentatively: "Is it Lin Xiao?" ”

Chen Linxiao and Chen Xiaoshu turned their heads to see a tall and thin man looking at them with a smile on his face.

Chen Linxiao quickly remembered who this person was, and arched his hand and smiled: "Brother-in-law." ”

It turns out that this is Gao Jincai.

Gao Jincai saw that he didn't recognize the wrong person, his eyes inadvertently looked at the things in Chen Linxiao's hand, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, it seems that this rumor is really true, this Chen Linxiao really makes a lot of money in business.

Thinking like this, he walked over with a smile and said: "This is to buy things, I heard your eldest sister say, you are doing a small business now, you can't use soy sauce and salt on weekdays, you come to my brother-in-law to get it, I have a little face in the owner's house, and I can't make your money." ”

Chen Linxiao was surprised when he heard this: "Isn't my brother-in-law the big shopkeeper in Wang Ji grocery store?" The eldest sister was clearly saying this that day, huh? During this time, I also went to Wang Kee's grocery store every day to buy things, no wonder I didn't see my brother-in-law a few times,"

Chen Xiaoshu almost laughed when he looked at Chen Linxiao talking nonsense with his eyes open, I don't know, I really want to be deceived by you.

Gao Jincai secretly scolded Chen Linxiao in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "You remember wrong, I am doing things in Fang Ji, not in Wang Ji." ”

Chen Linxiao knocked on his head and said: "Look at my elm head, this can be wrong, Xiao Shu, you have to help me remember it clearly this time, it is Fang Ji not Wang Ji." ”

Chen Xiaoshu also nodded solemnly and said, "I remember, it's Fang Ji, not Wang Ji." ”

Entered the store of Fang Kee grocery store, there is no comparison with Wang Ji here, Wang Ji's shop is large, and the goods are complete, as for Fang Ji, there is only a small shop.

It is said that Fang Ji's proprietor only had a son, but this son was to go to school since he was a child, how could he come to do business, as the old proprietor got older, he had to hire a shopkeeper, that is, Gao Jincai, in addition to the monthly money, he also gave him half of the profit every year.

That's why Gao Jincai is so concerned about the business of the other party's grocery store.

Gao Jincai pointed to the things on the counter and said, "Lin Xiao, look at what you want, my brother-in-law will not make your money." ”

Saying that, Gao Jincai lowered his voice and said, "This is not my brother-in-law's own shop, otherwise I can't ask for you." ”

Chen Xiaoshu and Chen Linxiao smiled secretly.

Chen Linxiao coughed dryly and said, "Brother-in-law is polite, Xiao Shulai and I don't have anything else to buy today, so we will buy some coarse salt and pancreas." ”

Gao Jincai was a little disappointed when he heard this, why did he only buy coarse salt and pancreas, and the dishes and chopsticks needed for business were no longer needed? And soy sauce don't want anymore?

Give them the salt and pancreas, Gao Jincai wants to give them a discount, Chen Linxiao will not let them, and in the end, there is no discount.

Gao Jincai took the copper plate and said, "You must go to the house for dinner in a few days, your eldest sister and nephew are thinking about you." ”

Chen Linxiao agreed with a smile on his face.

Coming out of Fang Ji's grocery store, both of them saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This Chen Linfang is really a couple.

All of them are mercenary.

was blocked by Gao Jincai once, and the two didn't dare to go to Wang Ji's grocery store again, so they deliberately went to another grocery store in the east to buy what they wanted.

The two of them were walking when they heard the sound of reading.

Only then did Chen Xiaoshu remember that the academy in the town was to the east.

Chen Linmu also studied here, which is quieter than the West Market, and it is indeed a good place to study.

Chen Xiaoshu glanced at the high wall of the academy and said, "Do you want to study?" ”

Chen Linxiao glanced at it, shook his head and said: "I haven't read enough books for more than 20 years before, I am bald every day in the high school entrance examination, college entrance examination, graduate school entrance examination, and mid-term final exam, and I want to vomit when I see a book now, not to mention that the books I go to study now are still some four books and five classics or something, boring and boring." ”

Chen Linxiao said with a straight face: "Even if I, Chen Linxiao, am starved to death and exhausted, I will not read another book." ”

Chen Xiaoshu nodded with a smile and said, "If you don't read it, you won't read it." ”

Chen Linxiao smiled and said, "Lady, haven't you found out yet?" Is moat chartering the most promising profession? ”

The two walked on the side of the road, talking and laughing, and didn't notice that Chen Linmu was standing in the restaurant next to them staring at them.

Chen Linmu looked at Chen Linxiao, who was very different from the sick seedling before, and his eyes were unpredictable.

The last time he sold Xiao Shu was exposed, although this matter did not reach the town, but because of the fact that he had twenty-five taels of silver in the middle, his status in the Chen family plummeted.

The past few times he went home, the people in the village pointed at him, and the rest of the Chen family also sneered at him, and the most important thing was that it was not as easy for him to ask for silver as before.

The last time he went home, he was so good at talking about it, he asked for 50 yuan, which was enough for what he did, not enough for him to go to dinner with his classmates.

These short-sighted mud legs, do they think that the imperial examination is just about learning?

It's more than connections, if he only knows how to study every day, even if he has talent, he won't be in it.

But if you get acquainted with the sons of a few rich families, what is the good thing to think about yourself, and then rely on your own talent, how can it be unreasonable?

Thinking about it, I blame Chen Xiaoshu for this stinky girl!

When she wanted to sell her, if she didn't have much to do, she would just obediently follow Mrs. Zhang, if there was so much?

If you ask what is bad, you have to ask how much money it was sold, and he will be pointed at by others.

I really didn't have any gratitude at all, Chen Jiabai has raised her for ten years.

But thinking of Chen Xiaoshu, Chen Linmu remembered one more thing, when Chen Xiaoshu, a stinky girl, was brought back by her father, she was wearing silk and satin, and she seemed to be wearing a lot of jewelry.

He didn't believe that his father didn't leave one or two pieces, and after thinking about it, those things should have fallen into the hands of the boss.

Chen Linmu was frowning and thinking about those ornaments, when he saw two people coming out of the gate of the academy.

One of them looks very fierce and looks like a rough man, but the one next to him is indeed wearing a good Confucian shirt, with a green hosta on his head fixed to his hair, and a jade pendant carved from white jade hanging around his waist.

Chen Linmu had seen this person, he had come to the academy two days ago, and he saw with his own eyes that the dean of the academy had respectfully invited him in.

Looking at this person's age, it is difficult to study in the academy, Chen Linmu made up his mind to pay more attention to this person, and it is best to make friends with him.
