The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Spring has arrived again, and the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival has dissipated in the city. People in Yangzhou have begun to count the days, looking forward to February 2 coming as soon as possible.

At the end of last year, His Majesty changed the long-standing reign name from Wenhe to Jianping. State capitals across the country are preparing to hold some celebration activities on the first anniversary of Jianping to celebrate His Majesty's decision.

From Wuding to Wenhe and then to Jianping, Li Zhi, who had been on the throne for many years, seemed to want the world to know more and more about his ambition to achieve great things.

Chen Qingyue was destined to miss the excitement. He was already twelve years old, already old enough to take the county examination. Previously, because Wang Xianming felt that this son's mind was too lively, he suppressed him for several more years to temper Yue's temperament, and only today did he agree to let him die.

There are children in the family who are going back to Taixing County to take the imperial examination. Even if it is just a county examination, it is a big event. After lunch at noon, the old Chen family went out together to send their children to the city gate.

There are nearly ten people in the family, plus Chen Qing and Hu Xiangheng who specially brought their husband to see him off. A row of people gathered around the carriage, taking advantage of the last moment to remind Chen Qingyue, and from time to time they looked into the city, as if they were still waiting for someone.

Don't worry, Brother Heng has a lot of things to do now, so he must have gotten stuck somewhere.

Hu Xiangheng saw the worry on Chen Qing's face and quickly spoke to comfort him. Mrs. Gu on the side also noticed something was wrong with her daughter. Considering that Chen Qing was pregnant now, she also advised: Qing'er, are you tired? Why don't you go home and rest first?

That's right, that's right. Sister, I have grandpa and dad to accompany me, so you don't have to worry about it. Chen Qingyue is already a young man. In addition, when he was growing up, life at home was getting better day by day, and he was much more courageous than other children of the same age. . I couldn't tell how excited I was to hear that I could travel far this time. I wish I could hit the road quickly and be a swallow that leaves the nest.

How can the adults in the family not know what their children are thinking? But children, they don't bother to care. He only checked the child's belongings on the carriage. Don't mention anything else, just say that Chen Qingyue returned to Taixing to take the exam this time. The old Chen family specially hired a carriage, which shows that the Chen family is becoming increasingly prosperous.

It's okay, mother. Didn't my brother also tell me to let me move around more when it's okay? Chen Qing's current body is just five months old, which is the time to move around more. In this regard, Chen Heng also mentioned again and again that he should not lock himself at home, which would cause the eldest sister's body to be missed.

While several people were talking, a horse suddenly flew out from the city gate, passed through the gap among the crowd, and stopped directly in front of the Chen family. Chen Qingyue also knew the person on the horse. The two of them just met each other, and they were already shouting.

Brother-in-law.

Brother Jue.

Brother came here specifically to see you off today. Just tell me whether you are touched or not.

Come on, it's just like you said you won't go back to Suzhou today.

Lin Jue turned over and jumped off the horse. Picking up the corner of his clothes, stuffing them into his belt, he rushed to the Chen family in three steps and then started to greet the elders.

This is the son of the prefect's family and a classmate of Chen Qingyue. Chen Huaijin and others naturally knew each other and greeted the junior with a smile. Lin Jue walked up to Qing Yue casually, put his hand around the latter's neck and asked, I looked around, why didn't I see my eldest brother?

Lin Jue was half a head shorter than Qingyue. This behavior actually made Chen Qingyue quite uncomfortable. After Chen Qingyue broke free from Lin Jue's restraints, he replied, You should be on the way here. Let's not talk about big brother. Are you sure you are going to take the exam this time? But don't let me pass the exam and you will lose your name. Then I will I’m going to laugh at you.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue raised his eyebrows deliberately, stretched out a hand, clasped it in mid-air, and said with confidence and pride: I regard the name of the head of the case as easy as picking out an object from a bag, as easy as turning the palm of your hand.

Lin Jue was handsome, but having such a strange accent coming out of his mouth would only amuse others.

It’s not surprising that everyone loves beauty.

Chen Qingyue curled his lips and said, Don't look back. If you do a big somersault, you won't have a chance to ride a horse again. After saying that, Chen Qingyue looked at the reins behind Lin Jue with envy.

The Chen family's financial situation is much better, but it is not to the extent that they can just buy a horse for their children to play with. The value and difficulty of this thing is no less than buying a car in later generations.

It would be great if my uncle and my father could ride horses. After they had enough riding, I could also follow them and have some fun. Chen Qingyue thought in his heart, and Lin Jue also saw what he was thinking, and immediately leaned into Qingyue's ear and said: If my brother succeeds in the Taixing case examination, when you come back, I will lend you the horse to ride for a few days.

Chen Qingyue didn't care about being called younger brother by Lin Jue, and said happily: Is this true?

Humph. Lin Jue curled his lips, raised his head, and adopted a strange accent, Man, I mean what I say...

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, a voice came from behind and interrupted him.

Lin Jue, why are you here? Aren't you going to take a boat back to Suzhou to take the county examination today?

As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw a handsome young man wearing a loose coat and long sleeves, walking towards them with his hands behind his back. Chen Heng, who is already fifteen years old, is taller and taller. He is wearing a green scarf and blue clothes. He was dressed as usual, except that his facial features became deeper and his eyebrows became more energetic. Although he is not as good as Liu Xianglian and Xue Biao, coupled with his outstanding temperament, he is really unforgettable as soon as he sees him.

This sense of accomplishment that our family has a grown-up son makes Mrs. Gu extremely happy. Her eyes were big, Chen Qi's eyes were small, and Chen Heng's eyes followed hers. Her eyebrows are not good-looking, but Chen Qi's eyebrows are thick and dense. Chen Heng took his father's eyebrows again.

It really makes people laugh, the child is so smart and clever in his belly. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Mrs. Gu couldn't hold back her smile, which meant that she couldn't explain it clearly because of her mother-in-law's presence.

Why are you so sweaty when you leave? Ms. Zhou had no time to care about her daughter-in-law. As soon as Chen Heng arrived, her thoughts were all on her eldest grandson. Seeing a thin layer of sweat on the other person's forehead, he couldn't help but take out the handkerchief and hand it to the other person, Quickly wipe it, you've come a long way here.

Brother Heng.

Heng'er.

Everyone was watching Chen and Lin playing around before, but now they saw Chen Heng appear and immediately started shouting. Chen Heng smiled and wiped his sweat, and quickly explained to Jiuhou's family how he was detained by Pei Huaizhen.

After finishing talking to his family, Chen Heng stood in front of Chen Qingyue and Lin Jue, deliberately silent. When these two younger brothers were studying, Chen Heng often assigned them homework and checked their studies. After all, Wang Xianming was getting older. Chen Heng couldn't bear the extra work, so he occasionally shouldered the task of teaching.

Therefore, Chen and Lin both respected and feared this elder brother. In front of Chen Heng, they all lowered their heads and winked at each other, hoping that the other party would excuse themselves.

Chen Heng saw their little thoughts and thought that they were about to take part in the county examination in February, so he said slowly: It's good to have a good mentality, but don't be too relaxed. I want you to start early this time. Go over and be prepared. Don't let yourself run wild like a wild horse when you get there.

Wang Xianming and Chen Heng had suppressed them for so long, so they naturally hoped that Chen Qingyue and Lin Jue would become famous. In addition, the county examination was not very difficult, so Chen Heng only gave a few words of advice to prevent his two younger brothers from making mistakes and losing carelessness in Jingzhou.

Brother, don't worry. Chen Qingyue hurriedly patted his chest, like a high-spirited rooster, and said with great momentum, My brother will definitely not fall into the family tradition when he leaves.

The changes in the Chen family back then started when Chen Heng passed the county examination. Chen Qingyue still gets excited when hearing such a story from his grandfather.

That's right, brother, if you don't believe in us, you have to believe in you and the master. Lin Jue's temperament is more lively than Chen Qingyue. I really don't understand how the Lin family, with such a regular family tradition, could raise such a person who is outside the five elements. The scholar came and said, When I go back this time, I will kill him and stand up, and I will definitely take off my fame and show it to my brother.

I asked you to learn martial arts from Brother Liu, but I didn't ask you to imitate his tone of voice. Chen Heng held his forehead with a headache, which was all caused by the flying knife and bird snapping when they first met at the dock.

When Lin Jue got older, he clamored to learn martial arts from Liu Xianglian. Jia Min thought that her son could strengthen his body, so he followed his son's wishes.

Ha... Lin Jue laughed. Seeing Chen Heng raise his eyebrows, he immediately stepped down and softly responded: Oh.

Seeing this, the Chen family next to them couldn't help but burst into laughter. Seeing that the gossip was all over, Chen Gaishan, who had been impatient for a long time, urged Chen Huaijin and his son to quickly get on the carriage. They had to rush to Taixing County today.

Nai, uncle, aunt, mother, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, second sister, eldest brother, brother Xinda, brother Yin. Chen Qingyue gave a long list of names before finally saying, You are waiting for my good news at home. .”

How can a twelve-year-old boy worry about failure? My mind is filled with quatrains from Tang poetry and Song lyrics, such as I am born with talents that will be useful and When the day is not around, youth will come naturally.

Chen Heng saw this and admired his younger brother's vigor. He watched Qingyue frequently leaning forward and waving to them on the carriage. Only when the carriage was no longer visible did the Chen family decide to go back.

Lin Jue said goodbye to Fa Xiao and was about to take the horse and sneak away when Chen Heng called out, Brother Jue.

Brother. Lin Jue quickly apologized and smiled. He was not only afraid of Chen Heng, but also afraid of Daiyu behind Chen Heng. My sister had a bad temper. If she wanted to learn from Chen Heng that she was riding out, she would have to be punished.

Chen Heng shook his head helplessly. He couldn't supervise him all the way back, so he had to warn him: Ride slowly and don't hit anyone. You don't want to hurt your leg and have to be carried to the county government for the exam.

Lin Jue trembled immediately when he heard this. If that's the case, what will happen to his lifelong reputation? The young man was so proud that he immediately said: Brother, don't worry. I will definitely ride slowly...

This boy just said this. When he got on his horse, he had already whipped up his hooves and ran away without a trace. Chen Hengduo took a look and saw that his speed was indeed not fast, so he let Lin Jue do whatever he wanted.

In fact, Lin Jue's horse is just a little mare, and it can't go any faster even if it wants to. It was originally a gift prepared by his family for him after he passed the county examination. Who knew that Jia Min let it slip for a moment and asked him to take him out of the stable in advance so that he could have fun today.

It doesn't take much effort on the way back. The Chen family was close to the city gate, and after chatting with them all the way, Chen Heng sent his family back and then turned back to the restaurant in the city.

Today, Xue Biao and others asked him to meet at a restaurant. It was the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival before. After several festival delays, Chen Heng hadn't seen them for a long time. No, after getting the message, he rushed to Wufu Tower to meet.

Wufulou is a newly opened restaurant in Yangzhou in the past two years. From the owner to the chef, they are all from Jiangxi. Their dishes are heavy on oil and spicy, which is also the only dish in Yangzhou.

Today's Yangzhou is different from before. There are countless people from all counties and provinces looking for opportunities. The taste of these people is not as light as that of Yangzhou people. Restaurants with more local characteristics, such as Wufulou, are also very popular.

As soon as Chen Heng walked into the restaurant, the waiter recognized him and stepped forward with a smile, The God of Wealth is here. Please, please. Uncle Xue has been waiting upstairs for a long time.

Due to the Qiupu Street incident, Chen Heng's reputation has also become widely known in Yangzhou in the past two years. Everyone knows that Qiupu Street, which was originally in a slump, was turned around by his hands.

Yangzhou now is very different from before. At that time, the whole city gathered around the salt merchant. Hoping to squeeze some money from the wealthy men, the whole city is biased toward service.

There are countless places like Fishing Alley in the city. But the salt farms of the salt merchants are not located in Yangzhou. The location of the salt farm is still close to the sea. Yangzhou was only the residence of salt merchants and the distribution center of salt.

Through such a comparison, we can see the benefits of Qiupu Street. Its existence not only revitalized the refugees in the west of the city, but also added many shops and workstations in the city.

I can see that the business on Qiupu Street is getting better and better day by day. The wages of the female workers in the workshop are among the highest in the city, which is very eye-catching. I don’t know who the bad guy was, but he gave Chen Heng the title of ‘God of Wealth’, and he was immediately called out.

Stay here, stay here. How dare Chen Heng accept such words? Things between gods and ghosts must be respected and not violated. He immediately smiled and said, I will go to the Temple of Wealth later to burn incense for Mr. Zhao. If you say this, I will be kicked out by the temple before I even enter.

Hahaha, Mr. Chen is joking. Among the shopkeepers in the city, who wouldn't expect you to come and nod and help take a look at the business. Although the waiter is a foreigner, he has lived in Yangzhou for several years and knows Qiupu better. The street is amazing.

Chatting and laughing all the way, Chen Heng was sent to the door of the private room. The waiter got the order to serve the food and hurriedly went to the kitchen to deliver the message. Chen Heng pushed Xinda in and pushed the door open. When he saw the three people in the room, he smiled and said, Everyone is quite neat today. Why, the provincial examination is coming soon, why don't you study hard?

Jiang Yuanbai looked a little leisurely and replied: I advise God to cheer up and send talents of any kind.

Okay, this sounds like I’m not sure. The examiner didn't hire me, not because I didn't know enough, but because I didn't stick to one pattern.

Xue Biao was more direct. He put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile: Let's talk about it later.

Qian Dayou had a solemn face and said worriedly: After dinner, go back to study.

Chen Heng didn't care, he smiled and took Xinda to sit down. The four of them are all two years older, and the sixteen-year-old Xue Biao is the most handsome and charming. It is a pity that there is Liu Erlang in the city, otherwise he should be the model of Yangzhou.

Jiang Yuanbai has changed the least. In addition to growing taller, he still has a slim face and round eyes. But his height is shorter than Chen Heng. I don’t know if it’s because of late development, or if it’s because I just focus on painting and lacks physical exercise. Fortunately, he didn't care about this little thing and never felt bothered by it.

Jiang Yuanbai wore a blue and white spring dress today, which was just released on Qiupu Street this year. It's not that Chen Heng is boasting about his business on the street. This dress is really beautiful in shape.

The spring clothes are embroidered with three or five winter plum blossoms, and there are freehand distant mountains and rivers. There are two other birds, one is parked on the treetop, and the other is flying with its wings spread. This painting was painted by Jiang Yuanbai himself. Because of its simple and beautiful style, it was chosen by the female workers in the workshop.

Chen Heng remembered that the clothing shop had made 10,000 pieces of this kind of clothing, and the sales were also very good. If everything is sold out, Jiang Yuanbai can get an additional twenty taels of silver, which is regarded as a reward for the painter from Qiupu Street.

Seeing that his friend kept looking at him, Jiang Yuanbai turned over his sleeves and found that there were still ink stains on them. He smiled and explained: I was drawing at home before, so I probably got it accidentally.

Chen Heng didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and shook his head and said, I think the paintings on the clothes are good.

Hehe, hahahaha. Jiang Yuanbai burst into laughter. Xue Biao rolled his eyes, turned away in disgust, and said to Chen Heng who had just sat down: If you continue to praise me, brother Yuan Bai's tail will rise to the sky.

Chen Heng shook his robe and said, He deserves it. As he said that, he also smiled and raised his hand to point Xue Biao, You just put too much emphasis on painting skills and techniques and are not as simple and practical as Brother Yuan Bai thinks. He It's a simple and beautiful picture, made with just a few strokes and splashes of ink. His painting is casual and beautiful, and it's easy for the embroiderers in our workshop to do it.

Ever since he thought of hiring a painter to make the style, Chen Heng suddenly thought of it and decided to do it. Since you can't beat Suhang in terms of technique for the time being, then you should work hard on style. He worked hard to find a skilled painter in the city, select paintings, and raise people. We guarantee that every piece of clothing from Qiupu Street will be pleasing to the eye when worn.

Brother Heng, that's well said. I'll give you a toast. Jiang Yuanbai was overjoyed and said as he picked up the tea cup.

Xue Tao clapped his hands and laughed, teasing: If you have the ability, don't ask me for paintings in the future.

Brother Xue, I just didn't understand. Chen Heng held a half-sip of the tea cup and said with a smile: Don't be as knowledgeable as your brothers. I will use tea instead of wine to make amends with Brother Xue.

Xue Bao hummed twice and picked up the tea cup in a pretentious manner. Before he drank, he was already laughing. The waiter who was rushing to serve food at the door heard the movement inside the door. I can't help but think: What major world affairs are these fairy-like scholars talking about?

After the waiter finished serving the dishes, he closed the door and left. Everyone continued to joke with each other. Qian Dayou, who was worried about the provincial examination, gave Chen Heng a new article and asked him to comment on it.

Chen Heng looked at it carefully, then picked a few questions and said one by one: Now His Majesty has changed the reign name from Wenhe to Jianping. Brother Qian, what do you think is the purpose?

Qian Dayou closed his eyes and thought about it, and asked doubtfully: The world is at peace. Your Majesty wants to make some achievements?

Chen Heng nodded and said: The article you wrote is not bad, but the idea is wrong.

This article by Qian Dayou has no big problem with wording and sentence making. If it is placed on the college examination or the government examination, if you want to pass the exam, it will definitely not be difficult. It's just that the rural examination is different. The mountain chief said that the examiners of the rural examination are personally selected by the imperial court. These people who come from the capital, when setting the questions, the first thing they have to consider is His Majesty's thoughts.

It’s impossible for your Majesty to want a minister who can rule the world, so you chose a traitor in troubled times!

Even so, although the scope of the policy cannot be stated in one word, there is still no problem in guessing the general direction. First of all, His Majesty wants to rejuvenate the country, and this is a direction. Secondly, the border war has not yet been resolved. The two sides only stopped fighting last winter. It is not known whether the fierce fighting will continue this year.

There are two foreign affairs here. The questions in this year's provincial examination must not be between them. But looking at this article by Qian Dayou, it is about the rise and fall of past dynasties.

Isn’t this what it means to be going in completely opposite directions? Obviously, His Majesty's choice of the year name hinted at his thoughts. As a candidate, you have to study according to your own thoughts and ideas. That's not just a wasted effort, get it to the exam room. No matter how well you write, whether you can win or not depends on the thoughts of the examiner and room examiner.

There are tips for taking exams. What matters is not only the popularity of your articles, but also the grasp and understanding of the current situation. If they just follow their own desires, such people will definitely not be good officials. If you concentrate on writing flattery, you will easily become a corrupt official.

How to grasp the differences between people's hearts and explain the big meanings with great sounds is the essence of the article and the standard for being able to govern the world.

This insight made Qian Da feel red in the face, and he realized that he had entered a misunderstanding. Fortunately, it was still early and his knowledge was sufficient. What was lacking was his knowledge. Immediately it means going back and rewriting. Then he said: I'll ask Brother Heng to help me take a look at it then.

Qian Dayou is twenty years old and his behavior is becoming more mature. Occasionally, a word is spoken with the politeness that only adults can have. But the friendship between the two of them will not change. Qian Dayou said again: I've said something ugly before, so you can't find me annoying.

Hahahaha. Chen Heng laughed and shook his head quickly, saying no. He knew that he was lucky. On the way to study, he had to have famous teachers who taught students according to their aptitude.

This was the luck he got after working hard, and Chen Heng felt lucky for himself. But he won't look down on others because of this, he knows better. How many people in the world, after all kinds of hard work, have no way or a teacher, so they can only let the years go by and bury their talents.

This is the most terrifying thought in this world. What I earn is all based on my own efforts. People who think this way can easily fall into an arrogant mood.

Chen Heng doesn't want to be an arrogant person. He has a lot of money, and he helps whenever he can, and teaches whenever he can. The mountain chief's daily advice is also given to his friends.

The world holds an umbrella for me, but I only hope that I will leave it to future generations. Chen Heng thought about it in his mind and said: Brother Dayou can come to me anytime, don't mind.

After saying that, Chen Heng looked at the other two fools again, What about you? Are you really planning not to go for this provincial examination?

Neither Xue Biao nor Jiang Yuanbai thought about this matter carefully. But they all said in unison: Go, I must go.

What a great opportunity. If you don’t give it a try this time, it would be a pity to miss it and have to wait another three years.

As for passing the exam or not, hahahaha.

Seeing that the two of them were already having fun, Chen Heng guessed what they were thinking and shook his head helplessly. What can he do? These two friends are sixteen and seventeen years old.

For such a young scholar, life is full of opportunities and time.

Needless to say, Xue Biao's family background. In the past two years, Jiang Yuanbai had been relying on the income from the painter on Qiupu Street and the newspaper shop to make a living, so he had a lot of money.

I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing to suddenly become rich at this age. Chen Heng was a little worried, but he didn't want to worry about it.

The relationship between man and destiny is too complicated. No one knows the right choice.

Maybe Jiang Yuan should be a famous painter in his life and live a relaxed and freehand life? Maybe Xue Biao is destined to be a rich man in his whole life. Should his family's imperial examination path lie with his son?

Chen Heng had never had such a broad mind before, and it was Pei Huaizhen, who had matured in his youth, who acquitted him. Wang Bo, who was famous all over the world at a young age but died young, tried to persuade him. Maybe your talents are not worth a sneeze from God.

Pei Huaizhen knew that Chen Heng's will would not be weakened by stories like this, so he taught him to do whatever he wanted. The mountain leader hopes that his students can learn the most important thing in life: open-mindedness.

After passing the provincial examination, no matter how bad your luck is. It is enough to go out and become a county magistrate. From this starting point, you can climb up the ranks step by step. In the future, it is not impossible that you will be promoted to the third or fourth rank of officialdom. At this time, how to deal with the ups and downs in officialdom and how to not forget the original intention. These are all things Pei Huaizhen hopes Chen Heng can learn.

Chen Heng understands this and is trying to make some changes.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace. Why can't this king be God?

The person involved was already at peace, and all he could do as a good friend was to keep silent. If it really comes to a critical juncture, you can still help.

But no matter what, there is no need to hate each other because of this kind of thing. Everyone has their own ambitions, just enjoy themselves. Chen Heng smiled and turned the conversation to Qiupu Street. There were five people at the table, and four of them were walking around Qiupu Street, including Xinda, so they naturally talked a lot.

Everyone chatted and talked about the cultural gathering held in Qiupu Street in March. Nowadays, there are many literati and poets in Yangzhou city. People have money and inevitably pursue a better life.

This is the inevitability of economic development, and the logic is actually easy to derive. The business on Qiupu Street is good and the wages are high. Even the shops in the city have to raise their wages. The combination of the two factors will inevitably attract more people from other provinces to come looking for opportunities.

When there are more of these people, the housing prices in the city will inevitably rise. As housing prices rise, the wealth of the people in Yangzhou will increase out of thin air, and they will naturally not worry about spending money. This person wants to buy some beautiful clothes, and the other person wants to buy some paintings and calligraphy to decorate the home.

Such increases and changes are natural phenomena of economic development and will not change according to human will. It's hard to comment on whether it's good or bad.

Some people complained that prices in Yangzhou were also rising, but the old farmers in the countryside felt that it would be better if they increased more. Everyone understands the principle that cheap grain hurts farmers. The difference is just a matter of choice and emphasis.

But no matter what, this is a process that every city that rises due to commerce must go through. As the balance hand in cutting the cake, all the government office can do is to grasp the proportion. We should not only take good care of the interests of old farmers, but also consider the difficulties of people who make a living in the city.

Chen Heng was never a stingy person, so he told his friends bit by bit these truths, but unfortunately only Qian Dayou took a pen to memorize them. Now that I think about it, when Su Zhaoyuan went to the border to serve the country, Qian Dayou was the one who was most inspired.

I heard that the Weaving Bureau seems to be jamming our original cloth. Is it true? Xue Biao suddenly asked.

Chen Heng nodded. There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that Baoqin is also a very important figure in Qiupu Street. It's just that it was getting late now. He had something important to do when he got home today and asked Chen Qi. He said, Sooner or later, you have to be tough. But it's a long story. Let's talk about it later.

That ended today’s leisurely gathering. Take Xinda and walk home together.

…………

…………

After Chen Heng returned home with Xinda, he immediately invited Chen Qi to the lobby. The two father and son had a long-lost chat. Chen Qi also wondered why his son wanted to show off, so he sat down and asked: Heng'er, what do you want to say?

There were suddenly three men missing from the house, which meant there was less excitement. Chen Yin went to bed early today. He was upset that he could not take the exam. But he was only nine years old, so Wang Xianming still wanted to suppress him. Although Chen Yin studied hard, he was still far behind Chen Heng in terms of understanding. He was again targeting his eldest brother. Wang Xianming couldn't change his attitude, so he had to suppress him.

Chen Heng laughed and said, Dad, I want to ask you. Do you want to start a business?

These words were so fresh that Chen Qi joked: Did the God of Wealth think of his own home? He shook his head again, You don't know your father yet. I can still say a few words to you and your mother. After I left the house, I didn’t want to say a word.”

Chen Qi has been a craftsman all his life and has supported his family by relying on it. It is not a joke for him to change careers at this age.

Of course I know. Chen Heng smiled. It was because he knew Chen Qi's character that he had held it in until today. Dad, don't panic. The business I thought of for you is not only to your liking, but also good for your business. Earn a lot of gold.

The more Chen Qi listened, the stranger he became, just as Gu came in to clean up the housework. He took his mother-in-law and sat down with him, and asked his precious son, Is there such a business? Then why didn't you tell me before?

In August this year, I will take the provincial examination. Chen Heng smiled and gave his own explanation. This was something he had agreed upon with Pei Huaizhen, who also intended to let the students show off their talents.

But Chen Qi didn't understand and didn't know how these two things were entangled.

In fact, this matter can be said to be simple or complicated. This time, that time. In the past, the old Chen family did not have a Dinghai Shenzhen. Chen Hengkong was smart and relied on outsiders' connections to achieve peace of mind for a while, but he still owed favor to his boss.

Now he has the success story of Qiupu Street in front of him, and the provincial examination is about to take place. Once you win the title of Juren, it will be no problem to keep some wealth for your family.

Adapt measures to local conditions and act according to the times. Without these, the poor old Chen family would suddenly become rich, but their family would be ruined by others.

Golden eggs are not rare, but how rare the hen that lays them is is a matter of concern for everyone.

Then what do you want to do? Tell me what you want to do. Chen Qi also became interested and wanted to see what his son had come up with.

It’s 8,000 words, done in one go! ! !
