My ancient leisure life

Xu Nuo watched Zhou Yuyi become more and more addicted to playing, his eyes were burning and excited, his forehead was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, and he still had no plans to rest.

But he didn't want to play anymore. After the two brothers of the Zhou family recognized and even praised billiards, he understood that he had always been so ambitious.

Before a thing is done, I want to eat a fat man in one bite, just like a child who has not yet learned to walk, but wants to run on his toes, and will not be able to stand even if he does not fall.

He decided to start with billiards first, and then slowly start other entertainment projects when he sees the opportunity, and grow steadily and gradually.

"We still have something to do, so we have to go first." Xu Nuo said, "Practice slowly by yourself. You have mastered the rules and rules, and you can teach others when the time comes."

"Ah?" Zhou Yuyi was confused for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Don't go, I haven't entertained you yet."

"I still want to keep you to play for a few days." Zhou Yuyi hurriedly put down his clubs and said, "It's your first time to come to the mansion, why don't you stay for a meal, and I'll show you around the mansion again."

Xu Nuo took a look at the Zhou Mansion. When he came, he was curious all the way. He was full of interest in this mansion with ancient charm, and he also wanted to look around to see if it was the same as the ancient mansion left over from modern times.

But now he only wants to make money early, so he can only bear the pain to give up his love. There will be many opportunities in the future. He lives here, and sooner or later he will be able to see everything he is curious about.

"No, I still have to go to work." Xu Nuo shook his head and refused, his attitude was very firm.

"What's the matter, so urgent?" Zhou Yuyi was pure, kind and innocent, and treated Xu Nuo as a friend, so he didn't have so many taboos.

"I want to rent a shop to do business." Xu Nuo said directly.

He didn't hide anything, Zhou Yuyi and Zhou Yuyi were attracted to each other, and his character would not be too secretive, so he told his plan in detail.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuyi's eyes lit up, and he promised, "If you want a partner, we will do it together."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to." He said embarrassedly.

"You want to come with me?" Xu Nuo asked suspiciously.

"Yeah." Zhou Yuyi said: "I happen to have a shop. I originally wanted to open a study room, but now it's suitable for this."

He told Xu Nuo that the shop has three floors, the place is spacious and located in the bustling area of ​​the main street, it is the best place to do business.

And why can he decide these by himself? Because of his physical condition, he can't be too tired, so the family doesn't require him to study and improve, and he can arrange it freely.

When Xu Nuo heard this, he was immediately excited, which was something he could only wish for.The contacts, the shop, and this partner are like a timely help, which is exactly what he needs right now.

He raised his hand to take a look at the case, and opened his mouth to say yes, but hurriedly stopped what was about to blurt out, and turned to look at Cheng Ge, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Cheng Ge met his soliciting eyes, smiled unconsciously, nodded slightly and said, "Just do it if you like."

"Okay, let's work together." Xu Nuo happily turned to Zhou Yuyi and said, "We have to make preparations in advance when we go to see the shop."

"It's afternoon." Zhou Yuyi said, "It's almost noon, let's go after dinner."

"Okay." Xu Nuo readily agreed.

"Ah!" Xu Nuo looked at the pavilions, pavilions, paths and corridors of the Zhou Mansion all the way, "It really is antique, full of ancient charm."

"Huh?" Zhou Yuyi took him around the Zhou Mansion, heard him muttering to himself, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Oh." Xu Nuo came back to his senses, "It's okay, it's okay, the scenery in your mansion is elegant and unique, and there is luxury in the atmosphere, it's not something we ordinary people can easily see, it's just a moment of emotion."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuyi laughed dumbly, "Come here often if you like, and stay with me for a few days at any time."

"There must be quite a few brothers and sisters in your family, so I don't need my company." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

"Alas!" Zhou Yuyi looked at the fish swimming freely in the lake in front of him, and said, "I am useless, and who will accompany me except my eldest brother."

Xu Nuo blinked: Oops!This is a house fight, I'm not good at this, so I can't help much.But why are you so excited?The real house fighting in ancient times is hard to come by!

"Hmm." His mouth was suddenly pinched by a big hand, he raised his head in confusion, and saw Cheng Ge looking at him helplessly.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Cheng Ge knew that this heartless person didn't understand what was going on, so he lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Is it appropriate for you to grin your teeth and smile happily here when others are sad?"

"Yeah." Xu Nuo's eyes widened, and all the excitement in his heart was unintentionally revealed, which is too sorry for his friend.

He tore off Cheng Ge's hand, saw that Zhou Yuyi was still staring at the water in a daze, reached out and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him and said, "It's okay, I'm here, I can accompany you anytime."

He smiled and said, "We are not only friends now, but we will also be partners in the future. The relationship is unbreakable. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. I will help my friend in every possible way."

"Pfft." Zhou Yuyi was amused by him. He was attracted by Xu Nuo's enthusiasm, vivaciousness, heartiness and sincerity, so he wanted to be friends with him.

Of course, they also hit it off very well, they could talk to each other, play together, and make friends like this, Zhou Yuyi would never dislike Xu Nuo's background.

On Zhou Yuxuan's side, as soon as he went in to salute the elders, his father glared at him and shouted: "You can't stop every day, but you are just a junior passing by on a study tour, and you spend a lot of time entertaining him, it's really not learning." No skill."

"Hehe." Zhou Yuxuan was not afraid of his scolding at all, and retorted: "I am entertaining my uncle's relatives, so why am I so ignorant? My father really has a reputation for nothing, so I can't express what I mean!"

"You." Zhou Baichuan was so angry that veins popped out of his head.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Baida persuaded: "Let's talk about serious business."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mrs. Zhou finally suppressed her complicated emotions and said, "Yuxuan entertains relatives of my uncle's family, and does not participate in the affairs of the mansion. Baichuan is responsible for the reception of visitors from the state capital, and Baida will assist one or two."

"Father!" Zhou Baichuan couldn't believe it.

"If I commit crimes myself, should I continue to help the evildoers?" Mrs. Zhou was already disappointed, but there were many things he could do nothing about.

Zhou Yuxuan looked at Zhou Baida, and sneered in his heart: He is no longer the brat who was manipulated by others, he will protect his mother and siblings well.

"Okay, step back." Mr. Zhou said.

He said a lot of things that didn't count, if it wasn't for being an elder and the head of the family, and having the eldest son and second son as officials in Beijing to support him, he wouldn't be able to restrain the third son and third daughter-in-law at all.

Landlords of the Zhou family for generations, it was only after he became a Juren that he changed his family to a higher level.But he didn't have the fate of being an official, and he failed the Jinshi examination many times.

He would not be willing to donate to a low-level official, so he went home to raise future generations.There is a classmate and friend who has been selected as a Jinshi and a small county magistrate in a local area, intending to make him the in-law of his son and daughter.

Unexpectedly, his third son, Pan Gaozhi, would decide to marry the prefect's concubine in the prefectural capital after Zhongjuren. At that time, his two eldest sons were only low-level officials in Beijing, unable to refuse the marriage.

Whether it's the Zhou family or the county magistrate's family, whoever can offend the magistrate can only discuss the divorce.But the magistrate's wife designated her as a noble concubine in one sentence, saying that she should not spoil the marriage, but she actually intended to make things difficult for the concubine.

The two families can only recognize each other, and they are demoted from wives to concubines. Although there is a noble character, they are still concubines.With a heart full of guilt, Mrs. Zhou tried her best to protect Zhou Yuxuan's mother and son, but she still suffered a lot of grievances, and Zhou Yuyi was even involved.

In the afternoon, I had a big meal at Zhou's house, promised to happily go to the shop with Zhou Yuyi, the two had the same goal, they both wanted to start business as soon as possible and make money.

"Ah!" Xu Nuo looked at the three-story building in front of him, the facade of the tall and magnificent six rooms. "This situation is absolutely enough."

"As long as you like it." Zhou Yuyi signaled the boy to open the door.

They went in and took a look around. There are three floors inside. It is spacious and bright.

Xu Nuo had an idea in mind, and said to Zhou Yuyi: "The first floor is separated from the stairs. This is used as the reception area in the front hall, and the other side is used as the general hall. The price is cheaper, and anyone can come to play."

"The second floor is the VIP room, and the third floor is the box." Xu promised: "Three grades, six grades, different grades, anyone can choose, we just need to arrange the layout and set the price."

Xu promised to talk to Zhou Yuyi about his ideas, how to divide the three-story building, and how to carry out simple decorations.

"Okay." Zhou Yuyi didn't understand these things, but he still understood the meaning of the promise, "Brother Nuo, just leave this matter to me, and you go back to recruit people for training. In addition, you can just leave it to me to buy people and recruit shopkeepers. "

They got closer by doing business in partnership.Zhou Yuyi was fifteen, one year older than Xu Nuo, and now he was called Brother Yi and Brother Nuo.

"Okay." Xu Nuo nodded readily, "Then leave it all to Brother Yi."

During lunch, they had some exchanges.The set points are divided into five and five points, and some things that are not suitable for the promise are all handed over to Zhou Yuyi, and the two work together.

As for the promise to go back to the village to recruit people for training, one is that he wants to help Erdan and bring him out.Secondly, there are not so many suitable buyers for a while, and he doesn't want to delay for a day.

Another selfish intention is that he can pick some people in the village and give them a job to gain some popularity.Now that he is still there, he always needs to make friends with some people, and someone will speak out if something happens.

"The expert is here, go and see it, and start to practice."

Xu Nuo and Zhou Yuyi were still discussing some small details when they heard loud voices coming from outside. "What?" Xu Nuo was interrupted, and said displeasedly: "Cheng Ge, look what's going on outside, it's so noisy."

"Don't meddle in your own business." Cheng Ge didn't move his buttocks, sat firmly on the chair, and taught him: "One day is a good thing, there is nothing that is not enough for you."

Xu Nuo knew what was wrong with him, so he wasn't annoyed by his words, and he couldn't help but wink at Zhou Yuyi, saying, "Brother Yi, we've reached the end of our discussion, it's time to go back."
