It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

After eating and drinking, Weng Xiaoxiao got up and said goodbye.

As a girl, she needs to establish herself on the basis of her professional strength. She only needs to demonstrate her professional value. She does not need to be too attentive to her boss. Too much is as bad as too little and can easily lead to misunderstandings.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Feng Gu, who was sitting at a small stall not far away waiting for her, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

This meeting was not a hostile battle of wits and courage, but how to answer also required careful consideration. Now, Weng Xiaoxiao just wanted to empty her mind and stroll around with Feng Gu.

After joining the company, Weng Xiaoxiao became busier, but she still insisted on running ten miles out of town in the morning. She ran with weights, with sandbags tied to each leg.

The girl had grown up and was not comfortable wearing men's clothes, so Fenggu insisted on running with her.

Accompanying and running with each other, regardless of wind or rain, this year has passed.

......

Last year, Tian Runze and Ouyang Hua both failed the imperial examination, but there were very few people who passed the imperial examination before they were 20 years old. The two of them continued to study in the academy, and their free time to spend together became less and less.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the two of them went to Weng Xiaoxiao's residence together.

"Weng Xiao, you are getting more and more handsome. You are even more handsome than Brother Tian."

Weng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in her heart. It was not her choice. As she grew older, she did become more handsome, but this was her trouble and not worth showing off.

"It's just a bunch of rotten skin. How is your academic progress, Brother Ouyang?"

Ouyang Hua touched his nose, his eyes twinkling, "I've worked harder than before. Dad has issued a death order. If I fail next time, I will not only be beaten, but my monthly salary will be reduced, and I will not be allowed to go out for fun during holidays. I can't bear the thought, so I have to work harder."

There was no need to encourage Tian Runze, they just hoped that he could relax a little. Seeing that he failed in the provincial examination, he became much quieter.

"How are you doing at the bank? I heard from my father that your bank is developing very quickly."

Speaking of the money shop, Weng Xiaoxiao's expression brightened. Hard work always pays off. Boss Nie is very generous to capable people. At the end of the year, he gave Weng Xiaoxiao a bonus of 1,000 taels, and her monthly salary also increased to 100 taels. The salary directly shows a person's value.

"If you have money, you can deposit it. No matter how much you deposit, you can get interest. It is better and safer than leaving it in your hands."

"This is true. People didn't believe it at first. I don't know what method you used. Weng Xiao, please tell me about it. I'm very curious."

It was nothing to say. He just found a few people to help him, and with the help of Nie Feng's connections, he brought in some big businessmen, and the money house was revitalized.

"People have a herd mentality. At first, they forced the relatives of the money house owner to deposit money, and then they hired some people. When there were people coming in and out of the money house, curious people came in to ask questions. When they came in to ask, some people would try it. When they really got the interest, they would believe it. One person pushed ten, ten pushed a hundred, and the business started to pick up."

"Is it tiring to be an accountant?" Ouyang Hua kept asking questions like a curious baby. Passing the imperial examination was so difficult that he didn't even dare to think about becoming a Jinshi. As for what he would do in the future, he was a little confused. Most likely, after passing the imperial examination, his father would arrange a minor official position for him, starting from the bottom.

"When it's the busiest, I have to stay up past midnight. But it will be fine after the work is done."

It was definitely tiring. Although she was looking at the general ledger, she also had to look at a lot of data, as well as the statistical tables she designed. Any major decision needed detailed data support. When she was busy, staying up late to work overtime was common. In her previous life, the rewards for overtime were too low, so she had no motivation. However, Nie Dongjia was generous and Weng Xiaoxiao was full of energy.

"Nothing is easy, you have to take care of yourself."

Tian Runze is always so warm.

"With your appearance, you should have an attendant with you," Ouyang Hua reminded kindly.

"Are you afraid of being robbed?" Although Weng Xiaoxiao thought this made sense, she couldn't help but retort.

"Don't take it lightly. Nowadays, many nobles like beautiful boys."

She knew that Ouyang Hua was reminding her to have less contact with the powerful, but Nie Feng respected her and never asked her to socialize. She really had no contact with the powerful and wealthy, and she just dealt with account books and data all day long.

She appreciated her friend's concern and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Ouyang. I will pay attention to it."

"My mother wants to become a nun, and I want her to practice Buddhism on her behalf." Tian Runze, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"Why? Can't bear to part with you?"

"My mother was a peasant girl who saved my father's life. After they met, they fell in love and my mother followed him to Yangzhou as a concubine. Unfortunately, their love was too short and faded away. After the national mourning, my father fell in love with an opera singer and took her back home."

Ouyang Hua and Weng Xiaoxiao looked at each other and said nothing.

"When my mother was meditating outside, my father never visited her once, nor did he send anyone to ask after her. When he found out that my father had taken a new wife, he gave up and refused to return home to live, not even coming back for the New Year."

I thought Tian Runze was silent because he failed the exam, but it turns out there are these reasons.

"Brother Tian, ​​what do you think?"

"I was the one who persuaded my mother to leave because I wanted her to live a quiet life. It's good this way now. But I can't help but feel disappointed with my father."

"Compared to me, your father is pretty good. Be more open-minded. Everyone has his own destiny. Don't force it." Weng Xiaoxiao comforted.

"That's right. Weng Xiao, you're fifteen now, do you have any plans to get engaged? With your looks, you'd better choose carefully, ordinary ladies are not worthy of you. My cousin from my uncle's family is thirteen, do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Weng Xiaoxiao was so upset, "Brother Ouyang, thank you. I'm just fifteen and my two brothers haven't settled down yet, why should I be in such a hurry?"

"Hey, I want to become your relative."

"It's good to be brothers. Brother Ouyang, do you have someone you like?" Weng Xiaoxiao glanced at him.

"No, how dare I! My father said that if I don't pass the imperial examination, he won't let me get married."

Ha ha......

The two were amused by Ouyang Hua's pouting and aggrieved expression.

"Sir, the food is ready." The maid came in and announced.

"Please come in, my two brothers."

The adjacent yard just happened to be for sale, so Weng Xiaoxiao bought it. She knocked down the middle wall and turned it into a large open courtyard.

As the family grew, more people were needed, so Feng Gu brought two servants and two maids back from the farm. But with so many people, food became a problem, so she had to hire a cook.

Now the family has slaves and servants.

"Brother Weng, you've gotten better and better, which makes us ashamed." When they first lived in Wen Ju, Ouyang Hua ordered a few dishes from a restaurant outside. Now looking at this table full of delicious food and wine, he felt a lot of emotion.

This house was bought by a 15-year-old boy, which is something few people can do. They didn't know that Weng Xiaoxiao also had a farm!
