Chapter 4 The Wind Rises

During the Qingming Festival, a light rain fell on the boundary of Suzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An old man in a blue shirt with a yellow face walked briskly down the street with few pedestrians. I saw him turn a corner, and when he came to a second house, his pace slowed down. Looking at the mottled courtyard wall and the brand-new plaque, the old man let out a long breath and wiped the water stains on his face that couldn't tell whether it was raindrops or sweat stains, and then lifted his feet and walked inward.

Entering the gate and turning the shadow wall, the old man came to the study.

"Young master, there is something to do!" There was a hint of urgency in the steady voice, and after a while, there was a sound in the study.

I only heard a "squeak", the door of the study opened, and out of it came a young man of twelve or thirteen.

It's actually Xiao Jin!

In the forty-first year of Jiajing, after Xiao Jin and his entourage came to Suzhou, they found a way to make the silver settle in Suzhou. Then he bought the old mansion and hung a new plaque in the Xiao Mansion.

After that, Xiao Jin did not open the plug-in to make a fortune, but bought a fish pond and started his old business, raising fish!

Xiao Jin is too young after all, and he doesn't have time to say it. So he walked around, thanks to the housekeeper. However, Xiao Jin is not idle, eating and waiting for death.

Practicing literature in the morning and practicing martial arts in the afternoon had already started not long after he arrived in Suzhou.

Two years have passed, yes, it has been two years since Xiao Jin came to Suzhou!

It was raining lightly today, and Xiao Jin came to the study at this time, and did not take a horse step and stand on a stake as usual.

Fauber also asked the inside to speak. Xiao Jin smiled at the housekeeper, and then said.

"Hey," the housekeeper hurriedly replied when he heard this, the young master is just different, he is always gentle and gentle to his subordinates, and he has no temper. It's just that the family background is not very good, and I live with a distant cousin, and there is no elder to help me with the idea, which is not good after all.

Entering the study, the housekeeper didn't dare to look around, except for the young lady and the young lady's personal maid, no one else could enter. It's yourself, and you have the permission of the young master, so you can.

Picking up the tea and dipping his lips, the housekeeper put it down, he knew that his young master's temperament had always been vigorous and resolute, and he couldn't afford to procrastinate, so he got straight to the point and said: "The proprietors of Mantangchun and Fengxiangzhai have passed the word, and they want to meet the young master, and the rest of the jewelry stores also have this meaning, in addition, the old slave also arranged according to what the young master said." A few salt merchants and Jin merchants also came through the words, wanting to see each other. ”

Xiao Jin was silent when she heard this, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

"Then arrange a time, don't meet one by one, just invite them all, just say that I invite everyone to make a fortune together!"

The old butler's hand shook when he heard this, and the tea in his hand wet his sleeve.

"Young master, are you going to take out the recipe that holds the beads? It is a family heirloom that can be passed down to the family and be rich for generations!"

"All generations are rich, and they must have a life to enjoy. That recipe can't be kept by me, and since it's taken out and used, it's a matter of time before it's remembered. If you let it out early, you can also cut off the root of this bane. ”

In his previous life, Xiao Jin's family was a fish farmer, and after he graduated, he also raised fish scientifically, plus he relied on a little professional knowledge to purify tetrodotoxin. However, his neighbors relied on artificially cultivated pearls to make a prosperous living. In his previous life, Xiao Jin's father also wanted to try, but in the end he found that because of the popularity of breeding technology, if the scale is not large, the gains of artificial breeding outweigh the losses.

At this time, in the Ming Dynasty, artificial breeding was still a gold mine, and Xiao Jin's first pot of gold relied on it.

However, Xiao Jin also knew that he couldn't protect this piece of fat on his own. As long as you take it out and use it yourself, it will be coveted. I simply took it out and sold it.

Yes, Xiao Jin has never eaten alone, relying on monopoly to grab huge wealth.

In his previous life, what did he do with all his might and worry about it? Didn't he just want to earn more and live better?

In the face of a steady stream of money and huge profits, why do you stop doing it and pick up the textbooks for teacher recruitment? Isn't it just that you want to live a stable life?

I came to the Ming Dynasty unintentionally, and I didn't want to make much of a career. Even if this is a hot-blooded, magical, passionate martial arts world, for Xiao Jin, there is no temptation at all.

His goal has never changed, that is, to make a fortune and live in peace. You can practice in your spare time, but it's not for the sake of fighting swords, it's just for self-preservation. Xiao Jin has always been a small person, he was, he is, and he hopes to be in the future.

When the old housekeeper saw Xiao Jin's appearance, he knew that his young master had made up his mind, so he sighed and bowed down.

Xiao Jin didn't care about this when he saw this, got up and flicked the folds on his body, and walked slowly to the backyard.

In the second house, the front yard is the east chamber is the guest room, and the west chamber is inhabited by two maids and a housekeeper's family. Outside to the inside, there is Xiao Jin's study and inner room, and there are two guest rooms, which are suitable for greeting close relatives and friends or family members, but now they are empty. And then there's the backyard.

The backyard was originally a small garden, but later Chu Yu's master and servant asked for it, and an embroidery building was erected, and they lived in it. Since then, I have lived a boudoir life without leaving the door, and at most I have been relaxing in the small garden. Xiao Jin persuaded him several times, but it didn't work. Later, looking at Chu Yu's more and more outstanding appearance, he gradually lost his mind.

Walking into the embroidery building, listening to the bursts of laughter coming from the embroidery building, Xiao Jin's emotions couldn't help but be infected, and there was a smile on his face.

"Sister Chu Yu, why are you so happy. The person was still outside the door, and Xiao Jin's voice came in.

"Why did the young master come over at this time, didn't he take a step with Master Han?" As she spoke, a round-faced girl opened the curtain and walked out.

At this time, Bi'er is no longer the little girl who held Xiao Jin's hand and asked timidly, "Why did you come, people are so scared". Bi'er, who is dressed in a green dress, is extremely pure, like a lily in the water. There are two small dimples on the face, but they look innocent and cute.

"Master Han said that I have laid the foundation in the past two years, and I will always be diligent in the future, and he will not come after that. ”

"It was raining lightly today, and I was thinking about getting lazy, so I slipped here. What are you talking about, I listened to Sister Chu Yu's laughter from afar. ”

"Today is Qingming, Miss is not very happy after giving incense to the old lady, I will tell Miss some jokes, no, it was better just now. Speaking of this, Bi'er kept silent.

When Xiao Jin heard this, his face changed, and he didn't ask again, but said softly: "Sister Chu Yu is really blessed to have you by her side." Then he opened the curtain and walked in.

"What is Sister Chu Yu laughing at, I heard it from afar. Saying that, Xiao Jin sat opposite Chu Yu, picked up the teapot and made himself a cup of tea.

"Why do you have time to come here today? If you have time, you might as well read more books and brush up on your homework. You're a smart guy, and it's always good if you put more effort into your books. "After all, the Chu Yu family was born as a military general, and they won't be used to Xiao Jin's zamabu, but I still hope that Xiao Jin can put more thought into literary affairs.

"I'll just be lazy, the way of civil and martial arts is relaxed. Xiao Jin said perfunctorily, and then changed the topic to divert Chu Yu's attention.

"Sister Chu Yu's complexion has been much better these days, it seems that those pearls are good, bring more next time." ”

"No, it's too expensive, I see a lot of good color, full particles, enough to make jewelry, don't use it to grind it to make powder, it's too extravagant and wasteful." When Chu Yu heard that he was really deceived, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Since he raised pearls, Xiao Jin took some small ones and sent them for Chu Yu to grind. First, it is too small to be worth much, and secondly, it also allows Chu Yu to have something to do so that he will not be bored.

"It's all home-raised, and it's not worth much. Sister Chu Yu is as white as jade, naturally she has to take good care of it, the eighteenth change of the female university, wouldn't it be a pity if there are any flaws?" After saying that, Xiao Jin laughed, then got up and walked out quickly. After teasing Chu Yu, Xiao Jin only felt like a mischief.

And Chu Yu on the side did not have the expected annoyance, only his face was full of shyness, and the flush spread from his cheeks to his ears at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his red ears were bright and transparent!
