After dinner, the unlucky Ji Que sat in the room with his legs crossed, enjoying the rare peace.

Afterwards, he rummaged through the cabinet and took out a plain gray package.

The package was carefully opened, and inside was half a moldy sesame seed cake and a letter.

The letter paper was covered with red clay and was a standard engagement letter.

This is the most troublesome part for Ji Que.

Ji Que's late grandfather was a sesame seed seller during his lifetime. There was a famine that year and a man was about to starve to death, so he gave him a sesame seed cake.

The man survived, and later became very successful, so he gave Mr. Ji half a piece of sesame seed cake and made a marriage contract.

That is, when Ji Que was seventeen years old, he was going to the Bai Mansion in Tianren City to fulfill the agreement made back then with Miss Bai Family.

This year, Ji Que is exactly seventeen years old.

In this dynasty, which was similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty and was called the "Sheng Dynasty", marriage contracts were very important.

Inexplicably, Ji Que got an extra fiancée.

You don't need a car or a house, you don't care about your career, you don't even need a bride price, you can get a wife who should be a lady with just half a moldy sesame seed cake and a letter.

Regarding this kind of thing, Ji Que, who has been single for two generations, except for the initial novelty and a little excitement, the rest is full of confusion.

Logically speaking, the girl Bai in the engagement should be a lady, but he didn't know how tall or thin she was, whether her breasts were big or her legs were long, or her temperament. Besides, people like him were destined not to get married so early.

It is said that Tianren City is very prosperous, much more prosperous than Sangshui County, and is the most prosperous city in the North.

The same thing also represents more shit, flying bricks, pickpockets, strongmen, gang members, officials who are darker than gangs, etc.

If he really gets married to Miss Bai, then Miss Bai will face a husband who often steps on dog poop, loses money, gets robbed, beaten to death, hit by horses, and chased by tigers when he goes out.

Miss Bai will probably go crazy, right?

Therefore, for the sake of his own happiness and that of Miss Bai's family, the kind-hearted Ji Que probably wanted to get out of this inappropriate marriage.

They decided to get married without even meeting each other. People in ancient times were really reckless in doing things.

But even if you go to break off the engagement, it is still troublesome.

Sangshui County is at least a thousand miles away from Tianren City. Even if there is not much delay, it will take ten and a half days.

The key is the cost.

If it weren't for the bounties he earned in the next few months, Ji Que would still be worried about the money.

In his last life, Ji Que's biggest dream was to be able to travel around after becoming wealthy.

The kind of travel he likes is not to check in at scenic spots, but to stay in a place he likes for a few years. When he gets tired of staying, he then goes to another place to see another scenery.

The ideal at that time was very full, but the reality was very skinny.

Not to mention financial freedom, he had just emptied his wallet and took on a mortgage, but he encountered a financial crisis, lost his job, got sick again, and almost fell into depression.

Later, unfortunately, I encountered a car accident.

The moment the truck hit him, Ji Que felt the past flowing through his mind like water, and one of them was particularly clear.

That's when he discovered that he had never been close to the life of his dreams.

So after he was sent to this world by truck, he always remembered this dream.

If you have money, you can travel everywhere, go to a place to see the scenery, eat the food of a place, live a life of a place, and then leave to go to the next stop.

And Tianren City happened to be the next stop in his plan.

His plan was to find a place to live in Tianren City after breaking off the engagement, and see what kind of fireworks this prosperous city in the North was like.

But it is said that everything in Tianren City is expensive, and his little savings may not be enough.

So generally speaking, Ji Que is short of money.

Ji Que concluded that during the period when he first started to accumulate understanding, he just often stepped on shit. This stage can be called the "shit stepping stage".

After passing the "stomping stage", he will lose money inexplicably while stepping on excrement. The money he carries will fall out from time to time, and the money hidden at home will also be stolen.

He once buried ten taels of silver more than one meter below the blue bricks of the house, but the silver was still lost because a huge mouse hole appeared next to it.

Others picked up money and went to prostitutes and listened to music for free, but he lost it inexplicably.

This made Ji Que very depressed.

Fortunately, at this stage, there would be pickpockets and thieves falling into his hands from time to time. He would gain a little from them to balance his income and expenses.

Ji Que calls this stage the "dedicated wealth preservation stage" because as long as he works hard to squeeze out thieves and pickpockets, his assets will always tend to balance his income and expenditure.

After this stage, dangerous events will continue to occur, such as robbery, murder, riding a horse to kill someone, encountering a tiger while outing, etc., all in this stage.

At this time, Ji Que's life is in danger, but he is also the most profitable.

Those who robbed him and killed him were mostly bandits. They already had money on them, and with the bounty from the yamen, he also made some money.

This stage is what Ji Que calls the "life-threatening stage to make money."

Ji Que is at this stage now.

He summed it up. Today he stepped on dog poop four times in a row. After paying careful attention to his steps, he was hit by bird poop twice. He narrowly avoided bamboo poles, bricks and other flying objects that fell from above three times. He had just stepped on it in the afternoon.

Shit met someone and beat him up again...

Compared with the past few days, the frequency of this misfortune is obviously much higher.

There is no way, this is the price of accumulating understanding and making money.

Ji Que felt that he could still bear it. After all, the more money he had, the better. Only then would he be able to live comfortably in Tianren City.

After that, he started exercising for the day.

He first lay on the ground and did a hundred push-ups, then a hundred sit-ups, and then a hundred squats...

On the surface, Ji Que is a gentle scholar, but in fact, his body is full of strong muscles.

This is one of the reasons why he has been able to withstand bad luck for so long.

Of course, bad luck is not endless. Judging from Ji Que's experience, if he has had so many bad lucks during the day, he will usually be at peace at night.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew open the carved windows with a clang.

The candlelight on the table swayed left and right, reflecting the shadows of the trees on the ground like ferocious ghosts.

Ji Que hurriedly walked over to close the window, but suddenly froze there.

A soft sound came from the water tank outside the house, like a big fish swimming in it.

But he has never raised fish.

Ji Que, who was in bad luck, would naturally not think that there was a snail girl inside to repay his kindness.

"No way, are you so unlucky?"
