20 Chapter 20

Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, Zhang Qi glanced at them with flickering eyes, and quickly slipped sideways.

Grass! Bullying came to me.

Cheng Zi'an secretly scolded Zhang Qi, who was unrighteous, and resolutely replied in the face of Xin Jinian's arrogance: "No! ”

Xin Jinian originally saw that Zhang Qi was so scared that he ran away, and he was still secretly proud in his heart, but as soon as Cheng Zi'an answered, his smugness froze on his face, which made him unable to get off the stage for a while.

What about Cheng Juren!

Xin Jinian's brain is not enough, he is usually arrogant, and he is angry, even if he is the king of heaven, he is not afraid, not to mention Cheng Zi'an, who he thinks has a grudge.

Cheng Zi'an clenched his fist at Xin Jinian, baring his teeth to reveal the two black holes of the missing front teeth, like an angry porcupine, waiting to pounce on him and bite him, and continued: "Our handwriting is different, and I can't write as well as you." ”

Xin Jinian was choked, his anger turned into smugness, and his fat head was even higher: "How can your words compare with me!" ”

Cheng Zi'an's words are not as good as Xin Jinian, and he has no shame about it.

There are more people who can't compare, although Xin Jinian is stupid, Xin's century-old family has been taught by Confucianism since childhood, and famous calligraphy is at his fingertips.

The Cheng family is not even considered a cold door, but they can only touch the edge of the cold door, and there is still a time limit.

If Cheng Zhen can't pass the Chunyu exam, the identity of the person will be invalid.

Cheng Zi'an hurriedly shook his head, bah, bah, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji, Cheng Zhen will definitely be able to go to high school.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the poplin clothes worn by Xin Jinian have become a temple silk with a piece of cloth and gold.

The temple silk is light and exquisite, and it is more valuable than silk. In the previous dynasty, only the temple nuns in the area of Mingzhou Mansion could weave, and their skills were not passed on. Nowadays, there are very few weavers who can weave the temple aya, and the woven cloth has always been a tribute to the imperial palace.

Cheng Zi'an knew about this kind of cloth because Cheng Zhen had a temple silk painting about the size of a palm, and he deliberately framed it as a screen and regarded it as a treasure.

Cheng Zi'an's eyes swept around Xin Jinian's clothes, his mind turned quickly, and he said with a smile: "Xin Jinian, you are smart, rich and powerful, looking for me is to look down on yourself." You see my grades, they're about the same as yours, right? ”

Xin Jinian was so proud that his mouth was about to crack to the back of his head, but he pretended to be reserved and nodded: "That's!" ”

Cheng Zi'an said step by step: "What do you want, take the money to buy, the silver and the goods, and you don't need to talk nonsense with others, it seems that you are very smart and noble, right?" ”

Xin Jinian continued to nod and said, "That's it!" ”

Cheng Zi'an stopped talking and slowly turned around to leave.

Xin Jinian was stunned, his little eyes were dripping, he sighed, and reached out to pull Cheng Zi'an: "Do you sell it?" ”

Cheng Zi'an's tooth acid, what are these words?!

"How much?" Cheng Zi'an asked.

It's not that he isn't tactful enough, it's mainly that he's tactful, I'm afraid that Xin Jinian's big brain with small fingernails won't be enough to turn.

Xin Jinian was asked, what he wanted, he didn't know the people's livelihood and people's feelings, and he didn't know how to buy and sell the answer.

"One tael of silver for one question?" Xin Jinian racked his brains and counted his private money, and asked hesitantly.

Yo ho! Cheng Zi'an wanted to cheer, at this time, looking at Xin Jinian and his eyes, he was really stupid and shameful and cute!

Cheng Zi'an asked the price of the servants in Cui Suniang's house, Lao Zhang and Aunt Qin came with Qingchuan to escape the famine. Qingchuan is still young, and the family is so hungry that they have yellow faces and thin muscles, and they can fall when the wind blows.

They insisted that the family of three be together, and in the famine years, there were people selling children and daughters everywhere, and the buyers were picky, and they did not find a buyer for a long time.

Cheng Zhen had just been promoted in the examination at that time, and his family had a field and needed manpower, so he saw that their family of three was pitiful, so he bought them for ten taels of silver.

The clouds were more expensive, and cost five taels of silver. Her father had read books, and she was also coarse in pen and ink. Later, Daddy fell ill, Auntie was not in good health, and there were two younger brothers at home who were younger than her, so the family was too poor to sustain, so they sold her.

Fifteen questions cost the price of four living people, and Cheng Zi'an felt that he would be thundered by the sky.

He will be burned if he holds this money, Xin Jinian doesn't understand the market, Xin Zhong understands. If he knew about it, he would definitely hate Cheng Zhen and count these things on his head.

Cheng Zhenchun is about to leave, and Cheng Zi'an must not cause trouble for him.

Cheng Zi said generously: "We are classmates, so let's give you a cheaper." Ten big bucks for a question. ”

One tael of silver is officially equal to about the same, that is, a thousand big coins. Silver is worth a little more, and the actual exchange price in the world is about 800 to 900.

Ten big dollars for an arithmetic problem, calculated in a year, at most two or three taels of silver. For Xin Zhong, it's really not worth mentioning.

When Xin Jinian heard that it was so cheap, he was so surprised that his mouth was crooked, and then he patted Cheng Zi'an very excitedly and said, "Deal!" ”

Cheng Zi'an's previous education was that even if it was a penny, he had to earn it safely.

"Be quiet, this matter can't be known to the gentleman. Otherwise, you're in bad luck. Cheng Zi'an squinted at Xin Jinian and warned him.

Xin Jinian was unhappy and said, "Then you will be unlucky." ”

"I'm thick-skinned." Cheng Zi'an doesn't care about the authenticity.

Cheng Zi'an was really not too worried about this matter, if Mr. Zhou and the others found out, he would pretend to be crazy and stupid, and asked what he should do if he was bullied by Xin Jinian, and asked them to help him achieve justice.

If Mr. Zhou and the others could do justice, Fang Yin would not have been bullied by Xin Jinian to this point.

Xin Jinian can find someone else to write his arithmetic homework for him, and the most convenient thing in Mengtong's class is Fang Yin and him.

Looking at Fang Yin's timid and aggrieved appearance, he would not dare to ask for money, and he would write in vain.

Cheng Zi'an is generous and careful, he earned the money, he learned it messily, and returned to Xin Jinian, who paid the money.

As for Xin Jinian's participation in the imperial examination in the future, he can't care about what fame and official position he can buy.

Xin Jinian knew that Cheng Zi'an was beaten by Cheng Zhen a lot, and he felt a sense of sympathy, and chuckled: "Also, you have suffered a lot anyway, and you are not afraid of thick skin." ”

"You wait." Xin Jinian went to get his homework, patted his chest proudly, and said, "I bought them all!" ”

Of the five arithmetic questions, Xin Jinian can make four mistakes, and the right one, Cheng Zi'an suspects that he is purely blind.

Cheng Zi'an asked unhurriedly, "You didn't ask your little girl?" ”

Xin Jinian said depressedly: "The little maids didn't dare to write homework for me, they helped write it a few times, and after Daddy found out, they all hit the board." I didn't bother to talk to them, and as soon as I opened my mouth, they fell down on their knees and cried, annoying to death. ”

Cheng Zi said with peace of mind that only he could earn this money, and pointed to the topic and said, "I'll tell you two things first." ”

Xin Jinian's face fell, he tore off the silk purse embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns on his waist and threw it on the desk, and said loudly in displeasure: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to take out the silver?" ”

Cheng Zi'an hurriedly looked at the recess, and when he was resting after class, the classmates probably saw Xin Jinian pestering him, afraid that blood would splash on his body, but fortunately they all escaped, and only the two of them were left at this time.

"You have to take it step by step and be cautious." Cheng Zi'an was very depressed, he should collect additional money for this kind of additional teaching.

"It's all right at once, Mr. will be suspicious, and your father will also be suspicious." It's not easy to make money, Cheng Zi'an patiently explained.

Xin Jinian was not so satisfied and reluctantly agreed.

Cheng Zi'an continued to tell some details of the transaction, Xin Jinian was stunned when he heard it, and there was more admiration in his eyes.

"Let's get here first, just two today, I'm going to suffocate to death." Cheng Zi'an clamped his legs, told Xin Jinian two answers, accepted twenty big money, and hurriedly went to release the water.

Zhang Qi was playing in the corridor, and when he saw Cheng Zi'an coming back after releasing the water, he ran forward and pulled him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Cheng Zi was stupid and asked rhetorically, "What's the matter with me?" ”

Zhang Qi blinked his eyes and said in disbelief: "Xin Jinian didn't bully you?" ”

Cheng Zi'an said: "No." Let's go, let's go to class! ”

When Zhang Qi saw Mr. Zhou coming over, he quickly let go of Cheng Zi'an and ran into the classroom.

Early the next morning, Cheng Zi'an was picked up by Cheng Zhen again, and followed Lao Zhang Qingchuan to mow the grass: "You cut less yesterday, I thought that you were doing this for the first time, so I didn't care." I can't cut half a basket today, and I don't want to eat breakfast. ”

Cheng Zi'an carried a small basket on his back, stepped on the morning light, and came to the field again. Lao Zhang led the cow to the river as usual, leaving him with Qingchuan.

Mo Zhuzi was mowing pigweed again, he had already cut most of the basket, and when he saw Cheng Zi'an coming, he greeted him warmly.

Cheng Zi'an responded with a smile, looked at the basket, and boasted: "The pillars are amazing, they are almost full." ”

Mo Zhuzi was praised sweetly, and gave the grass to Cheng Zi'an again: "Young Master Cheng, I'm fast, you can take these!" ”

Cheng Zi'an smiled unceremoniously and accepted a third of the basket, took out the purse hidden in his shirt, and counted five big coins to him; "Now, there are comings and goings!"

An egg is only sold for two big bucks, but it's just a few handfuls of grass, how dare Mo Zhuzi take it, his hands shook wildly: "Don't don't, it's a small thing, it's just a small thing!" ”

Cheng Zi'an said embarrassedly: "If you don't take it, I'm embarrassed to ask for your grass." He leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a noise, this is what you earned by your own labor, and you can take it as a private money with peace of mind and save it to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

Two big sums of money are already a lot of private money for Mo Zhuzi. He held it tightly, his palms drenched with sweat.

Cheng Zi'an said: "Don't feel too much, although I took less grass today, maybe there will be other things to bother you next time, and you will come back then." ”

Mo Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief, put the money carefully, and said loudly: "Young Master Cheng wants me to help, just ask!" ”

Cheng Zi'an said yes, waved his hand at him, and said, "If you continue to be busy, I will also mow a little grass." He smiled at Qingchuan: "Qingchuan, let's go, your back basket is still empty." ”

Watching the whole process, Qingchuan's expression was very complicated: "......"

The two of them came to the place where the water and grass were abundant, Qingchuan struggled, and said, "Young master, you are not good ...... like this."

Qingchuan saw the ten big bucks spread out under his nose, and the words were stuck in his throat.

Cheng Zi'an smiled and said, "The rest of the grass, I bother you to help me cut it." Don't be anxious about taking the money, I'll have to bother you in the future. Qingchuan, it's still the same sentence, God knows you know and I know. ”

Qingchuan's monthly case for a month is only half a penny, and Cheng Zi'an has inquired about it.

Of the twenty big bucks he made yesterday, he still has five left. When he earns more, he will increase his money according to the size of the matter.

robbing the rich and helping the poor, Cheng Zi'an felt that he had hidden his merit and fame.

Qingchuan bent down and worked hard to mow the grass, and according to Cheng Zi'an's instructions, he mended his small back basket to half a frame.

Cheng Zi'an held the sweet grass root, lying on the grass with his legs crossed leisurely, swaying and enjoying the changes in the morning light in the sky.

Just kidding, mowing the grass is not going to mow the grass. Labor, you will never work in this life!
