Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

As soon as he returned to his dormitory, Li Yunting said bluntly, "Su Zhe's motives are impure."

Xu Huaiyi said carelessly, "What motive could he have? Isn't he just trying to set up a relationship with us? In fact, it's nothing like that. Don't go all out, just treat us as ordinary friends."

While he was talking, he took out a copper charcoal basin, put some charcoal in it with pliers, and lit it with a fire stick. These things were all brought from home. In addition, there were a lot of snacks. , he found an iron grate and put it on the charcoal basin, grabbed a handful of chestnuts and walnuts and put it on it.

Li Yunting just looked at it, his thoughts somewhat distracted, "You want to be friends with him? Do you know who is behind him?"

Xu Huaiyi tossed the chestnuts to prevent them from being burnt, and said without raising his head, "Didn't you tell me before that he has a sister who entered the second prince's backyard?"

Li Yunting was puzzled, "Now that you know it, why don't you hide further away? Aren't you afraid that if you get close to him, you will be included in the Second Prince's faction?"

Xu Huaiyi joked, "I am closer to you. We eat and live together every day. According to your theory, haven't I changed my classification and been classified into the Third Prince's faction?"

Li Yunting said without thinking, "That's different. I'm just a concubine of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and have nothing to do with the third prince. The same thing is true for Su Zhe. He usually has contacts with the second prince."

Xu Huaiyi asked curiously, "So, the second prince still values ​​him?"

Li Yunting nodded, "To be precise, he values ​​the Su family's ability to make money. In fact, Su Zhe doesn't have much contact with the Su family's business. Among his six brothers, half of the family business is in the hands of the eldest son. Now, the rest is divided among several other brothers. His family has arranged him to take the path of martial arts, so how can he have any extra energy to take care of anything else?"

Xu Huaiyi was thoughtful.

Li Yunting added, "But he is good at dancing. If he is doing business, he should be a good hand."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi chuckled and said, "Did you see it?"

Li Yunting said "hmm" and asked, "Are you short of money?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Who thinks there is too much money? It is easier to do things when you have money."

Li Yunting paused and asked, "What business do you want to do?"

Xu Huaiyi already had a plan in mind, but he said, "I haven't thought about it yet. It depends on what happens in the future. Whether Su Zhe can be relied on..."

The chestnuts burst open and released their fragrance.

Xu Huaiyi couldn't care less about chatting anymore and invited him to come over to eat. He also grabbed some red dates and sprinkled them on the grate.

Li Yunting was originally not interested in these things, but seeing him carefully peeling off the shells and chewing them in his mouth with a look of enjoyment on his face, he approached them by accident.

The aroma wafted out and attracted Wang Qiusheng and Zhao Sanyou from next door. The four of them gathered around the charcoal basin, chatting and laughing while eating, and the topic inevitably turned to Su Zhe.

Zhao Sanyou made no secret of his displeasure with him, "Huaiyi, why are you talking to him? He doesn't have a good heart at first sight. Even though he smiles all day long and looks like he's easy to talk to, he's actually treacherous. "

Xu Huaiyi asked curiously, "How do you know he is treacherous?"

Zhao Sanyou said matter-of-factly, "There is no business without treachery."

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Your family also has a business, and my family also runs a tofu shop. According to what you said, we are also treacherous."

Zhao Sanyou glared, "How can it be the same? The little business our two families have is just making ends meet and making small fuss. What about the Su family? Wealthy businessmen, royal merchants! With business all over Dayong, they are considered the richest people in the world. If you do business honestly, how can you achieve this? How is it possible to be so rich and rich without being cunning or using tricks?"

Xu Huaiyi was convinced, there was nothing wrong with this explanation.

Wang Qiusheng said something fair, "Three friends, you are prejudiced against Su Zhe. In fact, despite his glittering appearance, he does not have the smell of copper. On the contrary, he is not bad at reading."

Zhao Sanyou snorted, "Since you're not bad at reading, why don't you go to the Imperial College?"

The first choice for those who are rich and powerful, as long as they have some talent, is to enter the Imperial Academy, take the civil service examination, and become a civil servant. Only those who are really incompetent in literary studies will come to Jingwu Academy and take the path of martial arts examination. More than thirty years ago, the founding emperor Emphasis was placed on martial arts. When the dynasty was first established, military generals were more important than civil servants. Later, under the late emperor, both civil and military affairs were emphasized. Nowadays, civil servants are more noble.

Wang Qiusheng explained, "He has an elder brother above him. Enyin entered the Imperial College. There is only one place in the merchant's house, so he naturally has no chance."

Zhao Sanyou was rough but subtle. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "The Su family is really ambitious. The family is already so rich, and they still want to occupy a place in the court."

Wang Qiu Business said pointedly, "It's normal. There is no one in the court to protect you. How can you keep the gold and silver?"

Zhao Sanyou looked at Xu Huaiyi, "Did you hear that? The Su family is dishonest. Even if Su Zhe wants to be honest, there will be people who will instigate him to act up. We are not from the same group as them."

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Aren't you thinking too much? I didn't plan to go with him originally. Not only him, but also other factions. I won't get involved. We have no power. If we get involved, we can be sacrificed at any time. Little pawn, can I do such a stupid thing?"

Zhao Sanyou was puzzled, "Then why did you have such a lively chat with him just now?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Are you hot? This is how I interact with people normally. Whoever it is, as long as there is no malice, I will have the same attitude."

Zhao Sanyou was stunned.

Wang Qiusheng burst into laughter, "Huaiyi is right. As long as there is no malice, we are all classmates, how can we embarrass others? Isn't that rude?"

Zhao Sanyou understood, but said unconvinced, "What if the other party asks you to do something for him?"

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "Let's see what it is. If it's an easy matter, help if you can. If it's difficult and involves personal interests and lives, then we definitely can't handle it."

Zhao Sanyou was thoughtful and couldn't help but ask again, "What if Master Sun Yu doesn't agree with you being so close to Su Zhe?"

If the Sun family doesn't take sides, everyone in the capital knows it.

Xu Huaiyi said uncertainly, "Master Sun shouldn't care about such trivial matters, right?"

Zhao Sanyou gloated, "That's not necessarily the case. Master Xue has warned me not to let me get too close to those powerful children. If they try to woo me, they have to shirk them away. We are taking the path of serious martial arts. If If you label yourself as a certain sect early on, the path will become narrower."

"Well, Master Xue is right."

"then you……"

"But I can't stop eating because of choking. I have to control my interactions carefully. I believe Master Sun will not interfere."

During the afternoon training session, during the break, Xu Huaiyi spoke to Sun Yu in private based on the principle of respect.

Sun Yu's reaction was better than he thought. He said nonchalantly, "If you can talk to him, then we can treat him as friends and don't think about anything else."

"Aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand you?"

Sun Yu smiled, "Misunderstanding? If people could misunderstand me in this way, I would have been misunderstood as a speculator with only a few boats on his hands."
