The son-in-law of a prosperous family

These few books are worth some people's annual expenses.

No wonder it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. In this age of hunger and cold, there are indeed very few people who can afford to go to school. Many students from poor families have to use all their family resources to support one person's education.

Year by year.

After passing the examination for tongsheng, one can take the examination for xiucai, and after passing the examination for xiucai, one can take the examination for juren.

It is still possible to pass the exam. If you fail, all the money will be wasted and you will only hear a sound.

Hey!

It’s really difficult for students from poor families!

The boss's voice interrupted Zhao Yunchuan's thoughts: "Sir, shall I pack it for you?"

Zhao Yunchuan refused: "I can't afford it."

"purchase……"

The boss was silent. He had been running a bookstore for so many years, but he had never met such a straightforward person. He didn't even make excuses. Unlike other readers, he didn't care about face at all.

"We have handwritten copies here, which are cheaper."

"How much cheaper?"

"One tael of silver for a handwritten copy."

Zhao Yunchuan smiled slightly and spread his hands helplessly: "I still can't afford it."

The boss looked at Zhao Yunchuan with suspicion, wondering if this guy was trying to tease him.

"Boss, go ahead and do your work. I'll take a look myself."

"Then you take a look first, sir. Call me if you have any instructions."

The boss went to settle the bill again.

"Hey, you're a cook, but you don't cook properly and you want to take the exam? Studying is not just about flipping the pan."

Chen Xu walked in. He was still wearing a long gown that had been washed bleached. He held a Hanmei folding fan in his hand and fanned himself from time to time. He looked like a gentleman, but his voice was too harsh.

Zhao Yunchuan: What should I do if it’s a bit greasy?

He took one look and turned his head away, afraid of vomiting.

"As a person, you should know yourself. It is ridiculous that a cook can pass the examination to become a student."

Zhao Yunchuan had his back to Chen Xu, and his voice was unremarkable: "What if I can pass the exam?"

"impossible!"

He started to learn at the age of four and studied hard for more than ten years before he passed the examination to become a student. If Zhao Yunchuan could also pass the examination to become a student, he could kick his head like a ball.

Zhao Yunchuan turned around and looked at him with a half-smile: "Why not?"

Seeing the tension between the two, the boss came over with a smile and said, "You two don't need to argue. I have a stupid idea."

Chen Xu's face was gloomy: "What?"

"Why don't you two make a bet?"

The two thought for a moment and came up with a good idea!

They talked back and forth and soon made a bet.

If Zhao Yunchuan fails to pass the next year's Tongsheng exam, he will pay Chen Xu fifty taels of silver; if he passes, Chen Xu will run naked three times in Tianzao Village.

The boss's expression was indescribable.

He had never seen such a pure and elegant bet, and Chen Xu's eyes turned red with anger.

Simply shameless!

"Do you dare to bet?"

Chen Xu held his breath and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Just gamble!"

"Then please sign your names!"

In triplicate, Chen Xu and Zhao Yunchuan signed their names and put their red fingerprints on the documents.

Chen Xu was surprised: "You can actually write?"

Not only can he write, but he can also write very well.

Zhao Yunchuan looked at him as if he was a fool. If he couldn't write, he would definitely not agree to the bet.

He is not taken advantage of!

Why not do anything good with fifty taels of silver? Why do you have to give it away in a roundabout way?

The boss also signed his name and put his red handprint on it. Some readers who came into the store to buy books also joined in the fun, signing and sealing their names to serve as witnesses.

Chen Xu looked at Zhao Yunchuan's calm appearance and had a strong bad feeling in his heart.

Damn!

He really wants to regret it!

He took a deep breath and suppressed this thought. Being good at writing does not mean being knowledgeable. Anyone who can pass the examination to become a student has studied very hard. As a cook, he will definitely not pass!

After leaving the bookstore, Zhao Yunchuan went to the jewelry store again. He had not given Huai Ge'er a gift yet.

He fell in love with a jade hairpin at first sight. The jade was not of the best quality, but the workmanship was very exquisite.

It will definitely look good on Huai Ge'er.

"Sir, you have a good eye. This jade is top-quality Hetian jade. The carving master spent several months making it."

Zhao Yunchuan haha!

"how much is it?"

"Twenty taels!"

“Lowest price!”

“This is the lowest price!”

Zhao Yunchuan turned and left.

"Twelve!"

Zhao Yunchuan ignored him.

"Eight taels!"

Zhao Yunchuan went out.

"Five taels will do, right?"

Zhao Yunchuan's figure has disappeared from sight.

The jewelry store owner stamped his feet in anger and muttered, "One tael of silver is not a bad idea."

Zhao Yunchuan didn't hear this. All the silver he had was less than one tael, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy jewelry today.

He turned around and went to the bun shop to buy four big meat patties. Huai Ge'er likes to eat big meat patties.

"Chef Zhao?"

Just as he got the meat pie, he was blocked by a man. Zhao Yunchuan searched his mind carefully and confirmed that he had never seen him before: "Who are you?"

The servant said in a haughty tone, "Our shopkeeper wants to see you."

"Who is your shopkeeper?"

“You’ll know when you get there!”

Zhao Yunchuan hated this the most. They didn't even tell him who he was going to meet. Why should he go? !

"Don't go!"

The servant was stunned. He had never encountered such a situation before. Was it so straightforward?

"Do you know who our shopkeeper is?"

Zhao Yunchuan felt that this man was sick even more. He didn't tell him when he wanted to know, and now that he didn't want to know, he took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to know.

"I don't care who your boss is, I just don't want to go!"

Zhao Yunchuan started walking. He was tall and had long legs, so the servant had to jog to keep up with him.

"Tongfu Restaurant, the owner of Tongfu Restaurant wants to see you!"

Zhao Yunchuan stopped and the servant was breathing heavily.

"Our shopkeeper invites you to have tea, and I hope Chef Zhao will do you the honor."

"Your boss wants to poach my employees? Go back and tell him that I don't plan to change jobs for the time being."

He signed a six-month contract, and if he changed jobs he would have to pay a lot of money.

The servant was confused: "Our shopkeeper is rich, he will definitely not look down on your house, not to mention that he doesn't even know where your house is."

Zhao Yunchuan: “…”

Well, this boy doesn't know what corner means.

"Chef Zhao, our boss just wants to invite you for a cup of tea."

"Not thirsty!"

After saying this, he walked past the servant and left.

The servant was also angry. Although he was a servant, he was a servant of Tongfu Restaurant. Apart from those noble masters, who wouldn't give him some face? !

But he's just a cook...

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

The servant turned his back to Zhao Yunchuan and clapped his hands. Immediately, several thugs came out from the corner. They turned out to be familiar faces.

"Our boss said that he will take you away even if he has to tie you up!"

Then he ordered the thugs to take action.

A second passed...no movement!

Two seconds...

Still no movement!

Something is wrong...

When the servant turned around, he saw a few hooligans standing there stiffly, with frightened looks in their eyes, as if they had seen some ferocious beast.

The servant was anxious: "What are you guys standing there for? Come on!"

"Go on, go on...go on, hammer!"

what's the situation? !

Zhao Yunchuan opened his thin lips and said, "Six dragons?"

"No no no no no, we are six worms. Big brother, you are a dragon and we are worms!"

Zhao Yunchuan glanced at the sticks in their hands, then curled his lips: "Want to teach me a lesson?"

The six worms felt their scalps tingle after being looked at. They immediately dropped the sticks in their hands, fell to their knees with a thud, and shook their heads like rattles.

"We dare not, we dare not!"

The pain, which was unbearable for ordinary people, made them sweat profusely. The doctor said that the man who beat them was a martial artist, and most of the places they hit were acupuncture points, so it was so painful but at the same time did not hurt the root cause.

Servant: (⊙_⊙)

What's going on?

Who can tell him what is going on?
