Xiao Tao saw that someone came forward to collide with Chang Niangzi without long eyes, and it was still in front of the gate of the Xie family, so she was immediately anxious, and stepped forward to block the half-grown teenager's gaze in the sedan chair, and said in an unkind tone, "What do you want to do?" ”

Dong Li's reaction was a step slower than Xiao Tao's, but she still firmly stood in front of Chang Xi, and supported Xiao Tao with a serious face, "Our lady is traveling, why don't you hurry up and avoid it?" Do you want to go to the yamen to eat prison food? ”

Mama Luo was robbed of the scene by these two people, and she had no chance to perform, so she could only sweep the formation on the side, thinking that Mama Zhong was right, this Chang Niangzi did have a hand under her control, how could such a person be mixed badly?

Originally, she didn't dare to despise Chang Xi, but now she has added a halo to Chang Xi, and she has made up her mind to have a good relationship with Chang Xi.

The half-grown boy was stopped like this, especially the little peach in front of him was only one or two years older than him, he subconsciously took a few steps back, his face instantly turned red, and he excused himself in a snort, "I...... I know her, I used to be a neighbor of her house......"

Chang Xi hurriedly asked Xiao Tao to step aside, and looked at the half-grown boy's flushed face with a smile, "Xiao Tao, Dong Li, don't be nervous, I know this person." ”

"Chang Niangzi, do you really know him?" Xiao Tao still asked uneasily.

Chang Xi nodded, motioned to Mama Luo to let the sedan chair man move on, and then beckoned the half-grown boy to approach, "Zhang Yingda, I remember you." ”

She immediately named the name of the half-grown boy, which made Zhang Yingda secretly relieved, she really remembered herself.

He followed the sedan chair and walked forward, not daring to look at Chang Xi's face, and Xiao Tao next to him kept staring at him with vigilant eyes, which made him feel like a man's back.

"You've been waiting for me at the gate of the Xie Mansion?" Chang Xi saw that he didn't speak, so he asked.

Zhang Yingda nodded quickly, and then shook his head as if he thought of something, and then he was afraid that Chang Xi would misunderstand, so he said, "I just come here occasionally and wait for a while." "Try your luck and see if you can see her out of the house," I know, the pawn wife will not be allowed to leave the house casually. ”

His mother is like this, when she enters Master Lu's backyard, it is more difficult for him and his sister to see each other than to ascend to the sky.

This young man is really uncute to speak, Chang Xi responded unceremoniously, "Then why are you still waiting at the door?" ”

Zhang Yingda turned his head to look at her this time, and said with a serious face, "I came to tell you that I will redeem the silver hairpin and return it to you when I make money in the future, not only that, but I will also repay your ......."

Just to say such a sentence?

Yes.

Chang Xi carefully looked at the figure of this half-grown boy, and saw that his face was a little better than when he saw him last time, it can be seen that after taking the silver hairpin, he should have eaten enough, but his body seems to be a little rickety, it stands to reason that such a young man should not be like this.

She squinted slightly, looked up and down carefully, and soon found a clue in his back.

"So how do you make money?"

"I'm carrying a big bag at the dock now, and I can earn twenty-five copper plates a day."

Zhang Yingda looked at Chang Xi very proudly, he used to be hungry and couldn't do this job at all, but now he can fill his stomach and work hard, so that he and his sister's lives are also guaranteed.

Chang Xi looked at this young man looking like he was begging for praise, and he really couldn't praise it, although this young man had a pure character and had nothing to blame for being a person, but she really couldn't appreciate this way of making money with all her strength.

So, she poured a basin of cold water down, "Carrying a big bag can earn twenty-five copper plates a day, excluding food, how much can you save a day?" At this rate, you will be able to redeem the silver hairpin back to me in the Year of the Monkey? ”

Zhang Yingda was cold in an instant, this was the fastest way he could think of to make money, but she couldn't look down on it.

"I, I can always save enough money......"

Looking at the hard mouth of this young man, Chang Xi continued mercilessly, "It's likely that your body collapsed first before you saved enough money, didn't you find that you couldn't even straighten your waist?" ”

Although such half-grown teenagers can already be regarded as adults in this era, their bodies are developing under high-intensity labor, and the first thing they overdraft is their health.

She is not interested in such a brainless child labor.

I saw her pull the curtain on the sedan window, and said coldly, "Zhang Yingda, you go, I see that your brothers and sisters are pitiful, the silver hairpin is for your brothers and sisters, and you don't need to return it." ”

Chang Xi's sudden cold attitude made Zhang Yingda a little frightened, he didn't know where he said something wrong to make her unhappy?

Xiao Tao saw Chang Xi's cold face and drove people away, so she looked at Zhang Yingda with a small face, "Did you hear what our Chang Niangzi said?" Hurry up, or don't blame us for being polite. ”

Zhang Yingda gritted his teeth, and did not turn away in shame, no matter what, Chang Xi is the benefactor of their brother and sister, and he will always remember this kindness.

"I, did I do something wrong?"

After a long time, Chang Xi heard this apprehensive sentence, she suddenly opened the sedan curtain by one-third, and saw that Xiao Tao was trying to drive people away, so she stopped it, and looked at Zhang Yingda with a red face, "Let me ask you, who is the easiest person in this world to make money?" ”

As soon as this question came out, not only Zhang Yingda was stunned, but even Mama Luo and others, who were eavesdropping with their ears pricked up, were also stunned.

However, everyone soon had an answer in their hearts, but they didn't take the initiative to say it, but looked at Zhang Yingda, and even Xiao Tao forgot to drive people away.

Zhang Yingda quickly replied, "Naturally, he is a businessman. ”

Businessmen make money, and that's really a million profits.

Chang Xi smiled slightly, in fact, the easiest thing in the world to make money is the official, and if you have power, you will have money, and the two complement each other, otherwise why would the official collusion be in front of the official?

However, such an esoteric truth, she can't explain this half-grown teenager clearly, and people who don't have a certain amount of knowledge can't see this level.

When Zhang Yingda saw Chang Xi smiling, he thought that he had answered correctly, so his emotions rose again.

"Forget you, right?" Chang Xi said.

Zhang Yingda was dissatisfied, "What do you mean to count me right?" You go and see how much money those businessmen make every day? ”

Chang Xi didn't argue with him, but guided him to start thinking, "That's right, a businessman makes money every day, isn't it more profitable than you carrying a big bag of twenty-five copper plates a day?" ”

Zhang Yingda said again, "Business is not so easy to do, and I don't have the capital to ......."

Chang Xi was not disappointed with Zhang Yingda's answer, on the contrary, she was quite happy, the first thing that this half-grown teenager thought of was that he had no capital, not that he was afraid to shrink his feet, if it was the latter, she wouldn't even give him half a look.

"How much money did you make for that silver hairpin?"

"Half a penny."

Chang Xi was a little impressed with Zhang Yingda this time, a hanging half of a penny is equivalent to one or two halves of silver, and the silver hairpin is actually worth about two or three taels of silver, and the pawnshop will definitely depress the price to death, but Zhang Yingda can be a good price, and he is still alive, which shows that this half-grown teenager has potential.

Zhang Yingda felt that he was seen through by Chang Xi at a glance, and immediately scratched his head embarrassedly, when he was this silver hairpin, he had exhausted all his methods to take the half of the money from the pawnshop.

Chang Xi didn't ask about the pawn process in detail, but said, "There are big things to do, and there are small things to do, I see that you have also carried a big bag for a short time, and you should have saved some money on hand," In Zhang Yingda's puzzled gaze, she continued, "I'll give you a month, use the money you have on hand to earn money that can redeem the silver hairpin, then I'll give you a start-up capital, of course, if you fail, I will make up for you with the money you spend, well, just five taels of silver." ”

In any case, Zhang Yingda has to earn, and he has no more than two taels of silver on hand.

He understands this account, but he doesn't understand why Chang Xi did this?

Chang Xi thought that her one hundred taels of silver was still lying still, and every day she lay down, she would have a heartache for one more day, and what she thought about most was that money made money, but she was not free now, so she could only find an agent to give her money and money.

Zhang Yingda, a half-grown teenager, has potential worth cultivating, so she will pay a high price to hang his addiction to making money, and then it will be up to him to break the game.

Just looking at the puzzled eyes of this half-grown teenager, Chang Xi didn't give him an answer, after all, there were many people on the street, she didn't want to say anything, and there was a Mama Luo on the side who had been secretly watching.

"How? Do you dare to take on this challenge? ”

"Dare."

was so provoked by Chang Xi, Zhang Yingda's fighting spirit immediately rose high, and he understood the truth of seeking wealth and danger.

Chang Xi smiled with satisfaction, "Don't say that I bullied you as a half-grown child, let me give you a hint, if you want to make money, it's nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, you weigh in your own heart where you can start to make money." ”

"I'm not a kid anymore." Zhang Yingda protested.

Chang Xi said in an under-flat tone, "In my eyes, you are still a child. ”

Zhang Yingda couldn't compete with Chang Xi, so he could only hang his head and protest.

It's just that what he thinks about most in his mind at this time is Chang Xi's prompt, no one has ever taught him this, but Chang Xi's words made him feel empowered, and his mind was instantly cheerful.

Chang Xi didn't urge him, but looked at the shops on the street, only to see that there were people surging inside, and pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, which showed that this era was still quite prosperous.

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhang Yingda unconsciously followed Chang Xi's sedan chair for a long time, he was inconspicuously dressed, and he was not very old, and many people passing by thought he was Chang Xi's little maid.

When Zhang Yingda came back to his senses, he found that Chang Xi's sedan chair was heading towards the street where they used to live, and he frowned in hindsight, "Are you going back to Xu's house?" Why are you going back? That mother and son are not good things," Seeing Chang Xi's smiling face, and then a spirit, he thought of Zhao Po, who had been stabbed to death more than a dozen times, and suddenly burst into a rage, "Are you going to the house of the old pious woman surnamed Zhao?" ”
