The road to get rich through salted fish

It was mid-spring, and the spring rain that had been circling for a long time finally started to fall in the evening.

After the afternoon classes were over, the students who didn't live in the academy huddled in groups under the eaves behind the huge gatehouse of Cixi Academy.

In the haze of mist and rain, the light pink petals of the begonias lined up beside the gravel road are scattered on the ground one after another.

"Master, don't stick your head out, you will get wet and catch the cold later." Seeing his master's restless eyes, Little Poker felt lingering fear, deeply feeling that he would rush into the rain willfully in the next second.

Seeing his little book boy with a bitter face, Yun Chen raised his foot and took a step back silently, why did he find such a guy in the first place.

Seeing this, Xie Moran, who was standing in a row with Yunchen waiting for the rain, couldn't help joking, "Baby Yun, your mother is taking care of you again!"

Hearing the word baby, Yun Chen exploded, raised his elbow in anger and hit him, "Xie Xiaosan, you want to fight again, don't you?"

"Hey, what's the matter, I'm not wrong, your father called you baby at home!"

Xie Moran was full of embarrassment, he was not born to keep his own place, he turned around and directly raised his hand to strangle Yun Chen's neck, and the two had a quarrel on the spot.

Xie Moran is 12 years old this year, one year older than Yunchen. He is Xie Heng's nephew. His father is also Xie Heng's eldest brother. He was a famous general who died in battle in the Southwest a few years ago for his country.

Taught by his family, Xie Moran is also very interested in dancing with knives and guns. He thinks about going to the battlefield to avenge his father day and night.

However, his biological elder brother took the lead in taking over his father's career and joining the army last year. Now, how could his biological grandmother, biological mother and others be willing to let the remaining good grandson and youngest son go there? Flesh battlefield adventure.

It's just that a group of women and Taoists really can't stand this brat, so in desperation, they can only send him to his little uncle Xie Heng to discipline him.

It just so happens that Jiangnan is a place where scholars gather, and I hope that this kid can calm down and study quietly under the influence of his ears and eyes.

Xie Heng has made outstanding achievements in Tong'an County in recent years, and with his powerful family background behind him, once the three-year assessment period comes, it is logical that he will be promoted to Shuzhou General Judge, under the magistrate, to take charge of a state capital Matters such as grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy and litigation.

Of course, the most important thing is to supervise the chief executives of the state capital. The Son of Heaven is in charge.

Xie Heng has a bright future, and the next step is that he will be transferred to Beijing or become a high official.

After Xie Moran was driven to Shuzhou, Xie Heng sent him to meet Yun Chen. Both of them had the same arrogant and pretentious temperament. When they met, they felt that the other party was not pleasing to the eye, and they just wanted to fight.

Xie Moran practiced martial arts since he was a child, and Yun Chen also strengthened his body every day under Liang Feng's teaching. The two were evenly matched, fighting each other, but there was still a bit of sympathy for each other. The friendship between young people is so straightforward.

There were so many people under the eaves, afraid of bumping into each other accidentally, the two of them didn't really make a move, it was mostly lip service.

Yun Chen glared at him, "Xie Xiaosan, you are finished, let me tell you, you can do your homework every day in the future!"

Xie Moran immediately changed his face, raised his arms and put his arms around his shoulders, very affectionate, "Baby, baby, I was wrong, which one of us is with whom, always talking about homework, how hurtful is it?"

"You are really doomed, let me tell you." Yun Chen's tone was extremely serious, he shrugged his shoulders, and threw his two paws down.

Xie Moran was very upset, "Why can't I call, what's wrong with calling baby twice?"

Zhao Yan really couldn't stand these two friends, so he grabbed one of them and said viciously, "You two pay attention, I'm ashamed."

Zhao Yan is the grandson of the head of the academy, and the son of the Zhao family, a wealthy local family in Shuzhou. This kid, regardless of his name, always pretends to be a human being, but in fact he can fly.

Zhao Yan's appearance is excellent, just looking at the appearance, he is indeed a snow-like person, he loves to play and play since he was a child, wandering on the street all day long, he has a flexible mind and an extremely sweet mouth.

Almost all the sisters, sisters, sisters-in-law and aunts in the entire Shuzhou Mansion know him and love him. From childhood to adulthood, whenever they go out, they can get a bunch of gifts.

Yun Chen made his own voice, "Okay, okay, you think I want to, look at Xie Xiaosan's thick skin."

Xie Moran was not to be outdone, "Say it again, Baby Yun."

Looking at the expressions of the people hiding from the rain who were obviously optimistic about the show, Yun Chen sighed helplessly, and decided to adopt a policy of relaxation. He really didn't want to entangle these two words anymore, just Xie Xiaosan's unscrupulous character, the more you talk to him, the more he will Jin, I can immediately publicize this baby to the whole academy.

"Call you uncle, you idiot, let me talk about it once you win a card game!"

When it came to playing cards, Xie Moran's attention was successfully diverted, and he was immediately in high spirits, "Tsk, my hands are itchy, but unfortunately there are still a few days left in the ten-day break. When I go back to your house, I have to kill you to death."

Yun Chen glanced at him, and said lightly, "Oh, I'll wait, you fool who doesn't even understand the numbers."

Xie Moran was a little embarrassed, his voice became quieter, and he raised his eyebrows, "Tsk, I'm not used to playing poker yet, how simple poker is, can I not?"

Zhao Yan also missed it a little, rolled his eyes, and raised his eyebrows at them with a mysterious smile, "Turn around, let's take the cards, go and charter a boat, play while listening to music, how about playing on the river all night?"

He stroked his chin, as if looking forward to it, "I heard my elder brother chatting with his friends last time, and the painting boat seems to be very interesting, so let's go and have fun."

Xie Moran also nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, let Yunchen treat guests, he has a lot of money."

The Xie family is a powerful family, and the Zhao family is also a big local family, but when it comes to money, they really don't have as much money as Yunchen.

The big family has a large population, and the children hardly have much monthly money before they reach adulthood, so they can only rely on their mother to pick some out of the dowry.

If the mother came from a good family background and was able to run the business, they would naturally relax. If they came from a small family and didn't care about the business, to a certain extent, their lives were not as good as those of the businessmen's children.

Yun Chen directly shook his head, "I won't go."

Hearing this, Xie Moran slapped the disappointing Yun Chen, "Hey, you boy, why are you so stingy, your family has so much money, how long will it take if you don't spend it now?"

Yun Chen frowned, and looked at the two of them dissatisfied, "Is this a matter of money? My father made it clear that I can't even enter a brothel before I pass the exam, otherwise I will Cut off my monthly money, when the time comes, you two will pay for it?"

Hearing Yun Chen's words, Zhao Yan's little bookboy also hastily opened his mouth and warned, "Young Master Yun is right, Young Master, you can't go either, Eldest Young Master went there for business entertainment, if you sneak away , the eldest young master and his in-laws will definitely get angry later."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan's body trembled. Perhaps it was due to the complementarity of his personalities. His elder brother, Zhao Feng, was extremely upright and serious. s method.

Thinking of the strict teachings of his eldest brother and grandfather on weekdays, Zhao Yan developed a rebellious mind within a few seconds, and shrank back, coughed, and said solemnly, "That's right, we are still young, we can't play with things and lose our minds, we should go to you for playing cards." Let’s go home, your home has more food and drink.”

"Yes, yes, let's go to your house. Did your family make plum wine before? I remember my uncle said that it is fruit wine, and we can drink it too."

After Xie Moran thought about it, he nodded simply. He just wanted to join in the fun and get fresh with his enthusiasm.

Thinking about it now, Xie's family has a very strict family style, and he is only 12 years old. If he really wants to go to that kind of place, after returning home, his uncle will probably have to give him family law.

Hearing that the three young masters changed their minds smoothly, the little bookboys all heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. If the three masters had to go all the way to the dark, they could only go home and complain, although they could Solve the problem, but if there are too many complaints, it is not good. They are really afraid that the little master will not trust them in the future.

The three of them didn't talk for a while, and the carriages of each family came over.

The Zhao family was the closest to the academy and came the fastest. Zhao Yan jumped into the car in a hurry, and didn't even bother to say hello to them. He just stretched out his hand from the window of the carriage and waved it casually a few times.

As soon as the Zhao family's carriage left, they saw Mu Dong driving to pick up Yunchen. Yunqing likes to decorate with small gadgets, and Liang Feng is also willing to pamper him and provide him with various modern ideas.

Therefore, the Liang family's carriage is not only comfortable, but also very distinctive. There are beautiful small wind chimes hanging on the four corners, which jingle in the rain, which is quite wild.

Mu Dong walked over holding a huge oil-paper umbrella, "Master, you didn't get wet. Before you came, the master asked to warm ginger soup on the small stove in the car. Remember to drink a few more bowls later."

"It didn't get wet."

Yun Chen turned around and nodded to Xie Moran, and quickly got into the car. His worrying parents are probably worried about him at home?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when it fell on the ground, it easily splashed huge water splashes.

The corners of trousers and clothes of many people who stayed behind were wet, and everyone under the eaves became more and more anxious.

Someone was complaining in a low voice, "It's a pity that our family doesn't have a big background. Otherwise, if we buy a yard on Tonglu Lane or Nanxian Street, why would we have to wait so long? It's so annoying?"

"Speaking of which, Tonglu Lane is really good. My family also wants to buy it, but unfortunately I can't find a way."

"Yeah, look at those three little things just now, they were very lucky to be reincarnated. They left in a short time. They were still worried about catching a cold at home, and there was still ginger soup in the big carriage. I am so envious!"

"You're just a little bastard without a father. If you take something that doesn't belong to you, you'll have to return it sooner or later!" An extremely indifferent voice rang in the ears of this small group of people.
