Chapter 261: Zhou Mo
"I'm fine, I'm not tired in the carriage, are you hungry?"
Jiang Zhi touched his stomach and said with a smile: "I'm really hungry, by the way, let me introduce to you, this is the same period of our academy, called Zhou Mo, the talent is not below me and my second brother, and he is also a rare talent, this time the champion is estimated to be him."
The man named Zhou Mo hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly, "Brother Zhi has promoted me, this time the champion must be among the two of you."
Jiang Mi took a serious look at this person, it turned out to be the man in a green shirt she met in the academy that day, this is too coincidental, right?
"Hello, I've admired the name for a long time."
Zhou Mo also seemed to recognize Jiang Mi, but he didn't say anything, just nodded: "Me too, I have admired the name for a long time."
Jiang Zhi smiled: "The two of us often mention in the academy that we have a very powerful sister, so they all know, by the way, Brother Zhou, you can also go back with us, and come to our house to have a meal together."
Zhou Zhou shook his head: "No, I still have an old mother waiting for me to go back to eat, next time I have a chance."
Jiang Zhi shrugged his shoulders regretfully, and did not force him to stay, Jiang Xuan just said to be careful on the road, and got into the carriage with Jiang Mi.
"Jiang Zhi, you are very enthusiastic about this Zhou Mo." Jiang Xuan said this in the car.
Jiang Zhi looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong? Although Zhou Moren is very talkative and withdrawn, he is indeed very talented, I have discussed a few issues with him before, and his views are very unique, and his thinking is different from ours, but I have also learned a lot."
Jiang Xuan frowned: "It's hard to say, I always feel that something is not right, and it may be because of his personality."
Jiang Zhi thought for a while: "I heard that his family is very poor, and it is really not easy to get to where he is today, he has only one old mother in his family, and it all depends on his mother's day and night needlework to make him where he is today, I think this is also the reason for his character, right?" Z.br>
Jiang Xuan nodded: "There should be a reason for this, but you and I are also from poor families, so it won't be like this?" And he always feels very strange when he speaks and acts, but when he is in front of the emperor, he is different from usual, obviously he is a person who is very good at disguise, we don't deliberately stay away, but don't have a deep friendship with him."
Jiang Zhi has no objections, as long as Jiang Xuan says something, he will listen to it, anyway, he doesn't have much of a good impression of this Zhou Mo.
Jiang Mi was curious, "Really? I see that it is quite normal for him to talk and act, I don't see anything else, but when I went to the academy with you before, I saw him once, and it turned out that he was Zhou Mo, although our family was also very poor before, but our family is very warm and happy, everyone is very good, naturally it is different from Zhou Mo."
Jiang Zhi also felt very reasonable when he heard it: "Honey is right, Zhou Mo estimates that it is because of the absence of his father, aren't people nowadays bullying the weak and afraid of the hard? They who are orphans and widows must have been bullied a lot."
Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, don't always talk about an outsider, it's you, why did you answer the emperor like that today? You know what the emperor wants to answer, but you have to turn a corner."
Jiang Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I don't want our family to be in the limelight, so that people outside don't know how red-eyed, besides, I don't have much idea about the champion, if I can be ranked in the top three, I am already very satisfied."
Jiang Xuan knew what Jiang Zhi meant, as long as he could enter the court as an official, he would be too much of a champion to be the champion, and if the two brothers of their Jiang family came to compete for the champion, people outside would probably list them as opponents.
Jiang Mi doesn't care about this, no matter how the two brothers are, they are the same in her heart.
The three of them went back to have a good meal, and Jiang Mi talked about her plans.
"I'm going to rent a shop nearby to sell soap, maybe the business is not very good at first, take your time, it's time to test the waters."
"Soap?" The Jiang family all knew that Jiang Mi had made soap, and that thing was fragrant, and it was indeed better than soap, but they were all men, so naturally they wouldn't use that kind of thing, otherwise they would be all over
If you make it fragrant up and down, you will inevitably be ridiculed by others.
"Yes, I also went to see the soap shop in the capital, their best soap is not as good as the soap I make, and when my soap comes out, how can I attract some people, even if it can't exceed the largest soap shop, it won't be too bad."
"I thought you'd want to open a restaurant." Jiang Xuan said, he clearly remembered that Jiang Mi was watching the restaurant, why is he going to open a soap shop now?
"I also have this idea, but there are so many restaurants in the capital, and I can't figure out what everyone thinks, if I spend so much money to buy it, and I don't do it well when I turn around, it will be worth the loss."
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi glanced at each other and said, "And you can't do it well? I thought you were very good at what you did, but I didn't expect you to have something to worry about, but you can do it with confidence, and when I and your third brother have a half-official position, I will be able to subsidize you at that time."
Jiang Mi smiled, but she didn't take it to heart, a clean official like the two elder brothers, the money they earn can support their family, how can there be any superfluity, and Jiang Mi is not ready to ask for their money.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, as long as we have the craft, are you afraid that we won't have a chance in the future? You don't have to worry about me, by the way, when will the list come down?"
"Three days later, it's almost over, we won't go to the academy these days, so I'll accompany you to see the shop, since I came here, my second brother and I have been busy studying, and we don't have time to accompany you, so I finally have a few days to have a good time with you, or do something else."
Jiang Mi subconsciously wanted to refuse, she was used to dealing with these things by herself, but since Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi were so positive, it was difficult for him to refuse their kindness.
"Well, tomorrow you can go and see the shop I'm going to rent."
Jiang Xuan was a little worried: "If you only rent and don't buy, will there be problems in the future?"
Jiang Zhi put his arm around his shoulder, patted him, and said, "Are you better aware of this kind of thing than honey? It doesn't matter what the reason, just listen to the honey and do whatever she wants."
Jiang Mi was also worried, but she was more worried that after she bought the shop, if she didn't do well, she would lose more money, after all, this is the capital, so it's better to be cautious.
