The son-in-law of a prosperous family

"Yes, Mute made some steamed dumplings this morning and brought some for you to try."

The mute woman's cooking skills are pretty good. The dumplings are quite big, with round and plump bellies. They are filled with pure pork stuffing, which is fat and lean but not greasy. They are very fragrant and delicious when you take a bite.

Zhao Yunchuan ate two of them with vinegar and found them very delicious.

Fang Huai checked Zhao Yunchuan's schoolbag over and over again, and only handed it to him after making sure that he had not forgotten anything.

Zhao Yunchuan found it funny. It looked a bit like a father sending his son to school.

"Go quickly, don't be late."

Zhao Yunchuan didn't move. He smiled and said, "Did you forget something?"

"what?"

"Think for yourself..."

There seemed to be a hint of ambiguity in the tone, and Fang Huai immediately seemed to remember something and blushed instantly.

He secretly twisted Zhao Yunchuan's waist and whispered, "Someone is watching us."

This guy is really getting bolder and bolder.

"Just watch it, but can't you give me pocket money just for watching it?"

"Pocket money?"

"Well, I don't have any pocket money? What did Huai Ge'er think I said?"

Fang Huai realized that he had been teased and immediately glared at Zhao Yunchuan fiercely, but that look did not seem to have much deterrent power.

"nothing!"

He counted out ten copper coins from his purse in a bad mood, thought for a while, counted five more, and then handed them to Zhao Yunchuan.

"enough?"

Zhao Yunchuan put the copper coin into his purse. His purse was the same style as Huai Ge'er's, both with clouds, locust leaves and hearts on them. It was hard for people not to know that they were a couple.

"That's enough. We may not be able to use it all."

They had an hour's break at noon and could choose to eat at the academy or go home for lunch. The academy was not far away, and Zhao Yunchuan had a bicycle, so they decided to go home for lunch and take a nap.

These fifteen cents are equivalent to pure pocket money.

Duan Wenshu, who was standing by, twitched his mouth as he watched. It was only fifteen cents of pocket money, which was enough for anything. It was not even enough for him to have a meal out.

It shouldn't be like this!

You obviously earn a lot of money, why are you still so stingy?

It only takes about a quarter of an hour to walk to the academy. If you ride a bicycle, it is even faster, and it only takes six or seven minutes. The only downside is that the way there is uphill, so riding a bicycle is a bit tiring, especially when there is a guy sitting on the back seat to review his lessons, which makes it even more tiring.

"I said, do you want to order a bicycle?"

"Don't do it!"

At the beginning, Duan Wenshu also wanted to customize a bicycle, thinking that riding a bicycle was cool, but he delayed it because he had no money at the time. Later, when he had money, his enthusiasm for bicycles had passed.

"If you don't want to ride a bicycle, we can walk. Or if things get worse, we can take a horse-drawn carriage."

"It's just a few steps away, but you still drive a carriage."

The luxury carriages of this dynasty were equivalent to Maseratis, ordinary carriages were equivalent to Audis and Mercedes-Benzes, and ox carts, donkey carts, and mule carts were equivalent to other brands of cars.

"How about walking? That's fine too!"

Just consider it as exercise.

Zhao Yunchuan still decided to ride a bicycle. Although going uphill would be a bit tiring, going downhill was so exciting and he could get down in a flash.

Bicycles were popular in Qingniu Town for a while, and some people rode them in the county town as well, but they were a rare item in the provincial capital. No one had ever seen one, and their eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

Especially the two people in the car were wearing the uniforms of Qinghui Academy.

Everyone's eyes became more eager.

"Look at that thing? It's moving, and pretty fast."

"Don't you need a carriage?"

"You see the person in front is pedaling, so the bike is moving, right?"

"It's really fast. It feels faster than a horse-drawn carriage."

After saying this, Zhao Yunchuan was seen riding a bicycle past a horse carriage.

“It’s definitely faster than a horse-drawn carriage!”

"Dachun, you've been to the capital and have the widest experience. Have you ever seen a car like this before?"

The one called Dachun shook his head and said confidently, "I have never seen it. The nobles in the capital go out on horses or in carriages."

"It's probably a rare item in other places."

The students in Qinghui Academy are judged based on their academic performance rather than their family background. There are poor students who are supported by their own family, sons of wealthy businessmen, and even children from noble families.

Cars are not allowed into the academy.

Zhao Yunchuan parked his car next to a carriage, close to the inside so as not to affect the parking and movement of other carriages.

As soon as the carriage was parked, a man got out. Zhao Yunchuan took a subconscious look and then looked away. He felt that the man looked familiar, as if he had seen him before, but he was not sure who he was.

The man was also wearing the uniform of Qinghui Academy.

Maybe I saw him when I reported in that day, it doesn’t matter.

Jiang Li on the side was not so calm. He recognized Zhao Yunchuan almost at a glance. Wasn't this the man he flirted with last time?

Thinking of the last experience, Jiang Li's face became worse.

When teasing failed, he wanted to find trouble.

But who would have thought that he would be killed in return? !

It was all the fault of the man in front of him. If he hadn't acted like a foxy woman and cried to her husband, his men wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

Such a man is actually a student of Qinghui Academy. Haha, to be honest, it really brings shame to Qinghui Academy.

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Jiang Li really couldn't control his temper.

"stop!"

Zhao Yunchuan turned around and looked around to make sure that he and Duan Wenshu were the only ones here. He asked, "Did they ask you to stop?"

Duan Wenshu glanced at Jiang Li and shook his head: "No way, I don't even know him. Is he calling you?"

"I don't think so. I don't know him!"

Jiang Li jumped down from the carriage: "Don't look, I'm calling you!"

Zhao Yunchuan pointed at himself in confusion: "Calling me? Who are you?"

Because of this sentence, Jiang Li was so angry that he jumped up and down. What? He was the only one who remembered what happened that day?

Is Jiang Li some lowly person? !

Is he not worthy of being remembered by Zhao Yunchuan’s noble brain?

It’s so infuriating, so infuriating, really so infuriating!

"You don't remember me?"

"Why should I remember you? You are too ordinary, there is no memorable point."

In fact, just now, Zhao Yunchuan remembered who Jiang Li was through his asking-for-a-punch tone. Wasn't he that blind and frivolous man?

Zhao Yunchuan had a bad impression of him, so naturally he wouldn't be in a good mood.

"you you you you……"

Jiang Li was so angry that he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time. Zhao Yunchuan was impatient to wait for him and left.

"You stop!"

"You told me to stop, so I stopped? Who are you? If I listened to you, wouldn't it be embarrassing?!"

After saying that, he lifted his feet and left.

Jiang Li was so angry that he wanted to go up and tear the man to pieces. Couldn’t he beat a pretty boy?

Zhao Yunchuan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, looked at Jiang Li, and said calmly: "My husband told me to get along well with my classmates. If I meet someone who is difficult to get along with, I can tell him and he will help me find a solution."

Hearing Zhao Yunchuan talking about his husband, Jiang Li couldn't help but think of that burly young man. He felt frightened and even his body trembled a little.

"He, he, he...what solution will he come up with to help you?"

Zhao Yunchuan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I don't know the details, but my husband said that you should convince others with virtue when you are outside. If the other party is immoral, you should convince them with fists."

Threat, this is Chi Guoguo's threat.

The most distressing thing is that Jiang Li was actually threatened.

That guy is so tough that he can knock the shit out of him with one punch, so he really doesn't dare to mess with him.

"By the way, my husband also said that if he is free, he will pick me up from school. Maybe I can meet you then."

"Who, who wants to meet him?"

"Don't worry, my brother Huai doesn't want to meet you either. He has high standards and can't stand ugly things."

Ahhhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! !

So angry, so angry, so angry!

Jiang Li really wanted to smash Zhao Yunchuan’s head with one punch. As a man, how could he be so good at talking?

I was so angry that my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all ached.

Duan Wenshu who was standing by couldn't help laughing out loud like a goose. It was so funny, really too funny.

Why is this guy so poisonous? Fortunately, he did not go against Zhao Yunchuan in the first place, otherwise he would be one of the people being criticized now.

"What are you laughing at!"

Duan Wenshu laughed a few more times, looking very arrogant, as if you were right: "That's right, you found out. I was just laughing!"

"you you you you you……"

Duan Wenshu sighed twice, looking very regretful: "I didn't expect that you not only look ordinary, but also can't speak clearly. Hey, why did Qinghui Academy accept you? Don't they know that people with stuttering can't be officials?"

"Who stuttered? Don't go too far!"

"That's too much! What can you do to me?"

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows, full of provocation.

After getting so excited, Zhao Yunchuan and Duan Wenshu left contentedly. When they reached a secluded place, they began to chat in low voices.

"What's the grudge between you and him?" Duan Wenshu asked.

"He teased me!"

Duan Wenshu: (⊙_⊙)

"I've never heard of him having a relationship with Long Yang!!!"

Zhao Yunchuan said speechlessly: "He thinks I'm a little brother. Do you know him?"

"I know him! His father and my father are sworn enemies and they often steal our business!"

The Duan family and the Jiang family are both merchants in the county. They have very good and huge businesses, and can be said to be evenly matched. However, the county is a small place with limited purchasing power, so either you suppress me or I suppress you.

Duan Wenshu and Jiang Li naturally had not gotten along since childhood, and were the objects of comparison for everyone.

Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Jiang Li was lustful. At the age of sixteen, he already had two concubines before he had a wife. But he was good at studying, to be more precise, better than Duan Wenshu.

Duan Wenshu, on the other hand, was a man of integrity, but he was not good at studying and he liked to walk his bird and fight crickets.

Both of them are the less-than-dandy dandies in the county.

"Is it okay to offend him?" Zhao Yunchuan asked.

Duan Wenshu waved his hands: "What can happen? Even if there is something wrong, I still have my father. He can help me to deal with it. I can really beat him in a competition of fathers!"

Zhao Yunchuan nodded. It turned out that people competed with their fathers to gain power in ancient times.

This shows that having a good father is really important.

After learning that Jiang Li was not some big shot who could not be provoked, Zhao Yunchuan relaxed a lot.

In the ancient times when classes were clearly defined, it was not possible to live and work with the mindset that everyone was equal. Zhao Yunchuan was just a little student now, and there were many people he could not afford to offend. He had to find a place to hide and develop himself.

Here, only after reaching a certain social status can equality for all be practiced in future generations.

Qinghui Academy enrolled a total of twenty-two people in this year's Tongsheng class. In addition to Duan Wenshu, there was another person who paid a lot of money to get in, named Qin Yi.

After hearing the other person's name, Duan Wenshu said excitedly, "I know him, I know him. His name is one above mine. I am the last one and he is the second to last one."

Jiang Li came up to him and said in a sly tone, "You're proud of being the last one, right?"

"None of your business! Why are you so proud of yourself when you're third from the bottom?"

Jiang Li immediately exploded: "Who said I was the third from the bottom? I'm clearly the twentieth!"

"Yes, there are 20 students in the Tongsheng class, and you are the last one. Now there are two more people who got in through connections to fill the gap for you. Aren't you the third from the bottom?

You, the third from the bottom, are mocking the last one?

You're pretty proud of it, right? "

Jiang Li stopped talking. Although what he said sounded a bit strange, it seemed to make sense. He was indeed the third from the bottom.

I felt a little stuffy for a moment.

You know, he used to be at the top of the class in private school, but now the gap is so big, he feels a little sad.

But if you think about it carefully, why should he be sad? After all, he is the third from the bottom. The last one is not sad at all.

"Third from the bottom is better than you, who are last!"

"So what? I don't care!"

Zhao Yunchuan did not intervene in their quarrel at all, for the simple reason that he, as the number one, could not intervene.

Alas, it’s because he is too outstanding. He has no common topics with his classmates.

Many people secretly discussed and inquired about who Zhao Yunchuan was. Some even quietly asked Zhao Yunchuan: "Brother, do you know who Mr. Zhao Yunchuan is?"

Zhao Yunchuan subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "Why are you looking for him? Does he owe you money?"

"No, no, no, he doesn't owe me money. I just want to pay my respects to him."

"Worship him?"

"Yes, he is the top scorer in this provincial examination!"

In fact, this is nothing. The key is that Liu Dongxu is also taking the exam this time. Liu Dongxu is the son of Master Liu. He is extremely knowledgeable and a talented young man. Many people are very optimistic about him.

Besides this, another reason is that I heard that this top candidate never took formal lessons from the master and relied entirely on self-study.

How can such a person not be worshipped?

"Brother, do you know who Zhao Yunchuan is?"

"I finally asked the right person here. I actually know the answer!"

The man's eyes sparkled: "Who is it?"

"The most handsome one."

"You're lying. I'm the most handsome one, but... my name is Qin Yi, not Zhao Yunchuan."
