Chang Xi was stunned for a moment when she saw this silver hairpin, there have been a lot of things recently, and she forgot about this stubble, so she looked up at the half-grown boy who was standing firmly in front of her, and now she took a closer look, this half-grown boy has grown taller, his eyes are more determined, and his thin shoulders can also bear things, and sure enough, setbacks can make people grow more.

"Looks like you're making a lot of money selling vegetables."

Zhang Yingda's face was red, but he had to go back and forth between the town and the countryside every day, so his tanned red and black skin was not very visible, but the cramped and nervous expression still betrayed his mood.

Chang Xi admits that she is not a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person, but she can see the efforts made by this half-grown teenager, and it is because of this that she is willing to help.

"You're doing a good job, better than I expected." After speaking, she grabbed the thin silver hairpin, and inserted it directly into the sideburns with a single hand, in her eyes, this is no longer what Xu Dalang gave to the original owner, but the mind of a half-grown teenager.

And this heart deserves her respect.

Zhang Yingda has grown so big, it is the first time he has been praised like this, this time his face is as red as the sunset, seeing Chang Xi smiling, he is even more embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said, "What I promised you, I will definitely do it."

Chang Xi smiled, "Tell me about your experience selling vegetables."

She wanted to know how he was growing, and this was the first person she had ever thought of cultivating, so she was looking forward to it.

When Zhang Yingda heard this, he instantly thought of the hardships he had suffered during this time, as well as the joy of making money, all of which he wanted to share with her, after all, without her, he would not be where he is now.

So, he began to tell about his experience of selling vegetables.

Chang Xi listened quietly, there were not too many surprises in front of him, after all, it was he who pointed him out this path in the first place, so it was natural for Zhang Yingda to do a good job, if he didn't do well, he would have no talent, and it would be more suitable for him to carry a big bag at the dock.

Fortunately, Zhang Yingda started this business smoothly.

It wasn't until he said that he went to small restaurants and street food stalls to sell melons and vegetables, her eyes lit up suddenly, and in just a few months, she could actually think of this, which shows that Zhang Yingda is really malleable, and her performance can be said to be better than that of an adult like Xie Ming, who was born in a rich family.

Zhang Yingda saw the approval in Chang Xi's eyes, and then he was encouraged and continued, "At the beginning, those people didn't believe us, thinking that we were still half-grown children, and we had to ask the elders in the family to come forward before we were willing to order food," paused, "What kind of character is my father, you know, it's too late for us to hide from him, how can we get him involved in these things?"

"Oh, and how do you convince people?"

"Sell badly!" Zhou Afa, who was eating pastries on the side, interjected and said two words.

Zhang Yingda glared at him, can't you stop your mouth if you have something to eat?

Zhou Afa glanced at Chang Xi, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and immediately knew that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head to eat like a remedy, and this time he didn't dare to interject indiscriminately.

"As long as it's not a female offender, it's not chilling to make money."

Zhang Yingda got Chang Xi's words, and then he felt that his face was not so hot, "We grind from family to family, there are always kind-hearted people who are willing to help us, try to order our dishes, one has two, we sell more vegetables day by day, and later we have to go to two more villages to supply them with enough goods, and make a lot more money than at the beginning."

Chang Xi saw that Zhang Yingda's young face was full of the word proud, so he said: "Zhang Yingda, how much is your daily turnover, how much profit can you make from it, how can you make the most money, how to increase your market share, and where is your profit growth point?" Have you thought about any of this?"

Every time Chang Xi asked a question, Zhang Yingda, who was originally a little complacent, instantly froze, he didn't think about it, he only knew that the money he earned every day minus the money he bought was the profit he made, in addition, he didn't have the slightest idea of doing accounts, as for the longer-term plan, he didn't have this concept at all.

Looking at the young man opposite, Chang Xi said, "Zhang Yingda, if you are satisfied with such an achievement, then you

The road is destined to not go far." After a nod, she changed her words, "Also, do you know how to read?"

Zhang Yingda suddenly remembered that Chang was also illiterate before, but after she entered the mansion, she learned to read and write, is there really such a big difference between knowing words and not knowing words?

That's what he thought in his heart, and that's what he asked.

Chang Xi looked at him meaningfully, "Reading is wise, if you don't read, you're just illiterate after all."

Zhang Yingda didn't understand the meaning of the word illiteracy, but he knew that it was not a good word. Otherwise, Chang would not have spoken in such a tone.

So, after solving the problem of food and clothing a little, he began to have a new pursuit, he also had to learn to read and write, he didn't want to be looked down upon by Chang.

"Then take three months as an example, I hope you can read through a copy of "Hundred Family Names" in front of me by then." Chang Xi set a small goal for him.

To cultivate talents in this era, it is necessary to eradicate illiteracy, otherwise she will not want it.

Zhou Afa, who bowed his head and ate pastries, saw Fa Xiao's sudden ambition, and suddenly felt that the pastries in his mouth were not fragrant, and he didn't know how to read, but he knew that people who read and read and read would be respected, and although he didn't want to be a talented man, he also wanted to go further.

So, he secretly decided that he must follow in the footsteps of Zhang Yingda and must not let him fall behind.

Only Zhang Lianzi is still eating delicious pastries, she has no interest in reading and literacy, girls don't need to know so much, just find a good family to marry when she grows up, and she will not be a drag from her brother at that time.

However, many years later, after following Chang Xi to see Xintiandi, she thought back on this idea, she felt that she was so naïve at that time, she was struggling in poverty, how could she meet a good other half?

Of course, that's another story.

The conversation between Chang Xi and the three and a half children here fell into the ears of the man in the half-open box on the second floor not far away, only to see the man use the folded fan to push open the dish-planted leaves outside the box that blocked the view, and saw Chang Xi's appearance clearly through the gap, and was immediately slightly startled.

This woman who spoke surprised him, he had really seen it, that time he saw her talking with Xie Lao Ba in the restaurant on the bustling street, and he wrote down her appearance at that time, because Xie Jin's mood that day was too wrong.

Later, after a secret investigation, he learned that this was the woman who came from the fourth lady of the Xie Mansion, Qin, for Xie Jindian, which was really unexpected, and for this reason, he also asked people to investigate her origin and past deeds, which can be said to be lackluster.

A woman from a humble background, except for her good looks, has nothing else to show off, married a husband who is a gambler, and in order to pay off her gambling debts, she was pawned and sold to Xie Mansion for three years.

As for her performance in the Xie Mansion, he didn't investigate it further, after all, if she didn't do it secretly enough, it would inevitably anger Xie Jin and the Xie family, and he couldn't provoke this local snake, so he put the matter aside after knowing that there was such a person.

It's just a pawn wife, and good-looking women are also a lot of things outside, and the poor can't see them, and people in his class have long seen that they want to vomit, and their good looks are no longer enough to attract his attention.

But I just listened to such a persuasion, in fact, it is not very remarkable, but there are very few low-level women who can realize the importance of reading, they have no chance to read, let alone be enlightened, for them, their husbands and children are all the world.

And in his impression, the information showed that Chang was illiterate.

Could it be that the Xie Mansion can really change people so much?

Or maybe I was blind before, and it was a mistake to think that she was a beautiful vase.

After Chang Xi pointed out the goal of Zhang Yingda's life, she didn't plan to care about it anymore, sometimes wild growth also has its benefits, she doesn't have so much time to polish Zhang Yingda, she can only let this society sharpen him.

When the goal is achieved, she doesn't plan to stay too long, so she asks Xiao Tao to settle the bill.

The noodles were also met, the tea was drunk, and the pastries were eaten, Zhang Yingda knew that it was time to separate, and he could only look forward to when he came to her again in three months, he would be able to recognize "The Hundred Family Names"

on the word.

"I'm looking forward to your surprise me again when the time comes." Chang Xi encouraged authenticity.

Zhang Yingda nodded, and when he was about to say something, he saw that an object seemed to fall not far away, and was about to hit Chang Xi, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Be careful-" wanted to push Chang Xi away and block it himself.

Chang Xi has always reacted quickly, when she felt a foreign object falling from the sky, she turned around, reached out to catch it steadily, and then looked carefully at the thing in her hand, this is a folding fan that is closed, and immediately frowned, what kind of road is this?

"This lady, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell off just now, didn't hit you?"

Not far away, someone on the second floor stood on it and shouted at her.

When she looked up, she saw a very striking and handsome man's face, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who was looking at her eagerly, and pointed to the folding fan in her hand.

Chang Xi raised his fan, "Yours?"

"Right down there." After the man laughed, he hurriedly walked down from the second floor, and it didn't take long for him to arrive in front of Chang Xi, and then saluted, "This lady, I really feel very sorry, just because my hand slipped and almost hit you."

The other party is polite, Chang Xi is not easy to attack, after all, he doesn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, and when she got closer, she felt the momentum that the man deliberately reined in, and she suddenly had a judgment in her heart, this is not someone she can provoke temporarily.

In order not to cause trouble, she also smiled in return, and handed him the folding fan, "This son, don't slip your hands next time."

This way of picking up is too old-fashioned.

This was a pun, the man immediately smiled heartily after hearing the words, took the folding fan handed over by Chang Xi, he opened the fan with a "snap", and then introduced himself, "In the next surname Yuan, this lady is polite in the next room."
