007 There is a problem
It was already out of school, and at the gate of Mingde College, a carriage was parked aside, judging from the marks on the body, it belonged to the Xia family.
Another carriage came out of the school and stopped in front of the carriage at the door, the curtain was lifted, and it was Xia Chenyang, the fourth young master of the Xia family, who was sitting inside, and he said, "Little sister, why don't you go home?"
In the carriage before, it was Xia Xiyue, the fifth little family of the Xia family, she lifted the curtain and said, "Fourth brother, I'm waiting for someone here." ”
"Don't play too late. ”
Xia Chenyang thought that she had asked her little sister to go shopping, but she didn't care, so she told her and left.
Xia Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief slightly, she didn't know what her psychology was, she didn't want the fourth brother to know that she was waiting for Chen Mu.
After another quarter of an hour, she finally saw the person she was waiting for coming out of the school, and was about to say hello when she saw a boy stop in front of Chen Mu.
It was preempted.
"That's the concubine of the Gu family......"
Xia Xiyue was even more surprised when she recognized the identity of the boy. This Chen Mu is really not simple, he has only been in school for a few days, and he has a relationship with Qin Ruosu, and he has also made friends with the Gu family.
Although Gu Zheng is a concubine, it is the Gu family.
She couldn't help but value Chen Mu's cousin a little more.
............
"Chen Mu. ”
Chen Mu walked out of the school gate happily, and heard someone shouting to him, turned his head and saw that it was Gu Zheng, and said, "It's you, what's the matter?"
Gu Zheng said, "I want to invite Brother Chen for a drink." ”
"Another day, I've got something to do. As he spoke, he passed past him.
Gu Zheng stood in front of him and said, "Actually, I have something I want to discuss with Brother Chen. ”
Chen Mu said, "If there is anything, just say it here, and you will be exempted from drinking." ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Gu Zheng had to say the purpose of looking for him, "I see that Brother Chen's Flying Spirit Swordsmanship is so exquisite, and I want to ask Brother Chen to give me some guidance on swordsmanship." ”
"You also think too highly of me, as far as my swordsmanship is concerned, how can I be qualified to teach others. Chen Mu probably guessed his purpose and refused without hesitation.
Just kidding, how precious his time is, he has to study and practice, how can he have extra time to teach him swordsmanship.
Gu Zheng still didn't give up, and said, "The junior brother won't let Brother Chen teach in vain, Brother Chen will teach in one way, and the younger brother will give five silver yuan." ”
Chen Mu stared at him and looked at him seriously.
I can't see it, this is still a local tyrant. The currency of this era was silver and copper. One silver dollar can be exchanged for a hundred copper plates. The cheapest rice on the market is about three to four copper plates a catty.
One silver dollar can buy about 30 catties of rice.
Rounding it up, one silver dollar is about one hundred pieces of the earth, and five hundred pieces of a trick are taught. There are a total of one hundred and eight styles of the Flying Spirit Sword Technique, which is fifty-four thousand pieces.
A middle school student can take out 54,000 yuan casually, not a local tyrant.
Moreover, the purchasing power of 540 silver yuan in this era must be much higher than the 54,000 pieces of the earth. Because labor costs are cheaper.
Chen Mu said, "I want to collect a deposit of 10% first." ”
Time, there will always be a squeeze. He is so poor now that he can't even find a copper plate, and now that he has an opportunity to make money, he naturally won't let it go.
"No problem, I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”
Chen Mudao, "Tomorrow during the lunch break, bring the money and see you in the mountains behind the school." ”
After finalizing the deal, Gu Zheng left.
Chen Mu was in a happier mood, it seemed that he had been running recently, and he had encountered good things one after another.
"Chen Mu. ”
He hadn't taken a few steps before he heard someone call out to him, this time a woman, in a very unfamiliar voice. Turning his head, he saw a young girl sitting in the carriage, and said curiously, "Are you?"
The smile on the girl's face froze, and she said a little stiffly, "My name is Xia Xiyue." ”
Surname Xia?
Chen Mu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, glanced at the carriage again, and was really a little familiar, and suddenly said, "It turned out to be Miss Five, you called me, is there anything wrong?"
Xia Xiyue had already controlled the expression on her face and said, "You want to go home, I'll give you a ride." ”
So kind?
Chen Mu felt that there was something strange in this, and it was not that he had never encountered it before, so he ignored him, why did he suddenly take the initiative to invite him to take the carriage.
"It's not convenient," he said. ”
Xia Xiyue said, "You are my cousin, what's inconvenient." Come on. ”
Since she was so enthusiastic, Chen Mu was disrespectful.
He wanted to see what tricks this cheap cousin wanted to play.
The carriage was quite spacious, more than enough for two people.
"At school, are you used to it?"
"It's ok. ”
"Did Xiao Liuzi deliver the food on time? If he dares to neglect you, tell me. ”
"It was punctual. ”
......
Xia Xiyue was concerned about him every word, but Chen Mu was overly vigilant in his heart. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. is so dignified, suddenly cares so much about him, who knows what she has in mind.
Finally, she asked the most critical question, "How did you know Qin Ruosu?"
Laid a lot of groundwork, just to ask this?
Although he didn't know her purpose, his instinct told him that nothing good would happen.
That woman is really a nuisance.
Chen Mu said decisively, "Who is Qin Ruosu, I don't know?"
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Xia Xiyue said, "Don't hide it from me." At noon in the library, I saw it all. She took the initiative to talk to you. ”
Chen Mu was poked in front of him, but his face still did not change, and said, "You said that girl, she wanted to read the Guanghai Times, and I took the last copy, so she wanted to ask me, but I didn't give it." ”
Is that really just that?
Xia Xiyue was skeptical, and wanted to ask again. I heard him say, "When I arrive, I'll go back first." After speaking, without waiting for the carriage to stop, he had already pushed the door and got out of the car, and entered the Xia Mansion in a blink of an eye.
When the carriage entered the mansion, Xia Xiyue returned to the courtyard where she lived, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. At noon in the library, although it was a little far away, I couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but looking at the expressions of the two, it was definitely not like what Chen Mu said, just for a newspaper.
"This bastard dares to lie to me. ”
She gritted her teeth and scolded, she wanted to go to Chen Mu to settle accounts, but after thinking about it, she dispelled this idea again.
If he insists on it, he can't do anything about him.
"Speaking of which, whose cousin is he?"
Xia Xiyue had this question in her heart and decided to ask.
She went to the housekeeper and said, "Uncle Zhong, I want to ask you something." ”
The housekeeper Zhongbo is in her fifties, and she has been in Xia Mansion for many years, and he has watched her grow up since he was a child. Deeply trusted by her father, she has a high status in the Xia Mansion.
Uncle Zhong said with a smile, "Fifth Miss, what do you want to ask?"
Xia Xiyue said, "That Chen Mu, which family's cousin is it? ”
There are not many relatives in the Xia family, basically she has seen them all.
Zhong Bo said, "It's the son of a cousin who married far away from Miss, and because she died early, she didn't have much contact. ”
Xia Xiyue looked at him with suspicion, "I remember, that cousin seems to be married to the Fang family." ”
"I don't know. ”
"Uncle Zhong, are you hiding something from me?"
"How dare I hide it from Miss, if you don't believe it, you can ask the master. ”
There is a problem.
Xia Xiyue realized from Uncle Zhong's attitude that this matter was not simple.
Why do you want to hide Chen Mu's life experience?
Could it be that his life experience involves any secrets?
