Chang Xi was stunned for a moment when she saw this silver hairpin. There had been so many things going on recently that she had forgotten about this incident. Then she looked up at the half-grown boy standing firmly in front of her. Now when she looked carefully, this half

The young man has grown taller, his eyes have become firmer, and his thin shoulders can still carry things. Sure enough, setbacks can make people grow more.

"It seems you really made money selling vegetables."

Zhang Yingda blushed, but he traveled between towns and villages every day, so it was not obvious on his tanned skin, but his cramped and nervous expression still betrayed his mood.

Chang Xi considers herself not a very kind-hearted and soft-hearted person, but she can see the efforts this half-year-old boy has put in. Because of this, she is willing to help.

"You did a good job, even better than I expected." After saying that, she grabbed the thin silver hairpin, turned her hand and inserted it directly into her hair. In her eyes, this was no longer a gift from Xu Dalang to the original owner.

It's something that is the thought of a half-grown boy.

And this intention deserves her respect.

This is the first time that Zhang Yingda has been praised like this. This time, his face is as red as the sunset. When he sees Chang Xi smiling, he is even more embarrassed, but he still stubbornly says, "I promised you something.

I will definitely do it.”

Chang Xi smiled and said, "Tell me about your experience in selling vegetables."

She wanted to know how he was growing up. This was the first person she thought of cultivating when she traveled back in time, so she still had expectations for this.

When Zhang Yingda heard this, he immediately thought of the hardships he had suffered during this period and the joy of making money. He wanted to share all of these with her. After all, without her, he would not be where he is now.

So, he started to talk about his experience of selling vegetables.

Chang Xi listened quietly. There were not many surprises in front of him. After all, he was the one who pointed out this path to him in the first place. Therefore, it is natural for Zhang Yingda to do well. If he does not do well, he has no talent and is still in the field.

Carrying big bags at the dock is more suitable for him.

Fortunately, Zhang Yingda started this business smoothly.

Until he said that he would go to small restaurants and street food stalls to sell vegetables, her eyes suddenly lit up. In just a few months, she could think of this. It can be seen that Zhang Yingda is really a malleable person, and his performance can be said to be

Even better than Xie Ming, an adult from a wealthy family.

Zhang Yingda saw the approval in Chang Xi's eyes, and was encouraged to continue, "At the beginning, those people didn't believe us. They thought we were still half-grown children and would only order food if the elders in the family came forward."

After a pause, "You know who my father is. It's too late for us to hide from him. How can we get him involved in these things?"

"Oh, then how do you convince people?"

"It's a miserable sale!" Zhou Afa, who was eating cakes on the side, interrupted and said two words.

Zhang Yingda glared at him, "Why can't you stop your mouth even if you have something to eat?"

Zhou Afa glanced at Chang Xi, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and immediately knew that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head and ate as if to make up for it. This time he was too sensible to interrupt.

"As long as you don't do illegal things as a girl, you can make money and it's not shabby."

Zhang Yingda felt that his face was not so hot after hearing Chang Xi's words, "We work hard one by one, but there are always kind-hearted people who are willing to help us and try to order our dishes. If there are one, there will be two, and we sell them

The food we went to was getting more and more day by day, and later we had to visit two more villages to have enough food to supply them, and we made much more money than before."

Chang Xi saw the word pride written all over Zhang Yingda's young face, so she said: "Zhang Yingda, how much is your daily turnover, how much profit can you make from it, how can you make the most money, how can you increase your market share, and

Where is your profit growth point? Have you thought about this?"

Every time Chang Xi asked a question, Zhang Yingda, who was originally a little complacent, was instantly stunned. He had never thought about it. He only knew that the money he earned every day minus the money he purchased was the profit he made. In addition,

He has no idea of ​​accounting, and as for longer-term planning, he has no concept at all.

Seeing the young man opposite him pause, Chang Xi said, "Zhang Yingda, if you are satisfied with such an achievement, then you

The road is destined to be short." After a few words, she changed the subject, "Also, do you know how to read?"

Zhang Yingda suddenly remembered that Mrs. Chang was illiterate before, but she learned to read after entering Jiefu. Is there really such a big difference between literacy and illiteracy?

That's what he was thinking in his heart, and he just asked the question.

Chang Xi looked at him meaningfully, "Only by reading can you be wise. If you don't read, you will only be illiterate after all."

Zhang Yingda didn't understand the meaning of the word "illiterate," but he knew that it was not a good word. Otherwise, Mr. Chang would not have spoken in such a tone.

So, after solving the problem of food and clothing, he began to have new pursuits. He also wanted to learn to read. He didn't want to be looked down upon by Chang.

"Let's take three months as an example. I hope that by then you can read through a book called "One Hundred Family Surnames" in front of me." Chang Xi set a small goal for him.

To cultivate talents in this era, you must be literate, otherwise she will not want them.

Zhou Afa, who was eating cakes with his head down, saw Fa Xiao's suddenly ambitious look, and suddenly felt that the cakes in his mouth were no longer fragrant. He didn't know how to read, but he knew that anyone who could read, write, and be knowledgeable would be respected, and although he

He never thought about becoming a scholar, but he also wanted to take it a step further...

Therefore, he secretly decided to follow Zhang Yingda closely and never let him fall behind him.

Only Zhang Lianzi is still eating delicious cakes. She has no interest in reading and literacy. Girls don't need to know so much. When they grow up, they just need to find a good family and marry. By then, she won't be

My brother's drag.

However, many years later, after following Chang Xi to see Xintiandi, she thought about this idea again. She felt that she was very naive at the time. How could she meet a good partner when she was struggling in poverty?

Of course, this is a story for later.

The conversation between Chang Xi and the three and a half-year-old children fell into the ears of a man in a half-open box on the second floor not far away. The man was seen using a closed folding fan to push away the leaves outside the box that blocked the view.

, I saw Chang Xi’s appearance clearly through the gap, and was immediately slightly startled.

He had actually seen this woman whose words surprised him. He and Xie Jin saw her talking to Xie Laoba on the bustling street that time at a restaurant. At that time, he remembered her appearance because

Xie Jin's mood that day was so wrong.

Later, after a secret investigation, he found out that this was the woman Qin, the fourth wife of Jie Mansion, who came to Jie Jin Dian. It was really unexpected. For this reason, he also asked people to investigate her origins and past.

The deeds can be said to be lackluster.

A woman from a humble background, with nothing outstanding except for her good looks, married a husband who was a loser and a gambler. In order to pay off his gambling debts, she was sold to the Jiefu for three years.

As for her performance in Jie Mansion, he did not investigate further. After all, if she did not do it secretly enough, it would definitely anger Xie Jin and his family. He could not afford to mess with this local snake, so he put the matter aside after knowing that there was such a person.

Already.

She is just a surrogate wife. There are a lot of good-looking women out there, and they are rarely seen in poor families. People in his class have already felt sick at the sight of her, and her good looks are no longer enough to attract his attention.

But I just listened to some words of encouragement to study. In fact, it is not that great, but there are very few women at the bottom who can realize the importance of reading. They have no chance to read, let alone develop their minds. For them,

, husband and children are the whole world.

And in his impression, the information showed that Chang was illiterate.

Could Jie Fu really change people so much?

Or maybe I was blind before, and it was a wrong perception to only think of her as a beautiful vase.

After Chang Xi pointed out Zhang Yingda's goal in life, she didn't plan to care anymore. Sometimes growing wildly has its benefits. She didn't have so much time to polish Zhang Yingda, so she could only let the society polish him.

After achieving her goal, she didn't plan to stay too long, so she asked Xiao Tao to check out.

We met, drank tea, and ate cakes. When Zhang Yingda saw this, he knew it was time to say goodbye. He could only hope that when he came to see her again in three months, he would be able to finish "Hundred Family Surnames"

the words on.

"I look forward to you being able to surprise me again." Chang Xi said encouragingly.

Zhang Yingda nodded, and when he was about to say something, he saw an object falling not far away, and it was about to hit Chang Xi. He exclaimed, "Be careful-" He wanted to push Chang Xi away, but he

Block.

Chang Xi always reacted very quickly. When she felt a foreign object falling from the sky, she turned around, stretched out her hand to catch it steadily, and then looked carefully at the object in her hand. It was a folding fan that was closed, and she frowned immediately.

What number is this?

"Madam, I'm sorry, I accidentally dropped this just now, didn't it hit you?"

Someone stood on the second floor not far away and shouted to her.

She looked up and what caught her eye was the face of a very striking and handsome man, about twenty-five or six years old. At this time, he was looking at her eagerly and pointed at the folding fan in her hand.

Chang Xi raised the fan, "Yours?"

"That's right." The man responded with a smile and hurriedly walked down from the second floor. Soon he was in front of Chang Xi, and then he greeted him and said, "My lady, I'm really sorry.

, just because my hand slipped for a moment, I almost hit you."

The other person was polite and polite, and it was not easy for Chang Xi to get angry. After all, she didn't reach out to hit the smiling person. Furthermore, when she got closer, she felt the man's deliberately restrained aura, and she immediately made a judgment in her heart. This was not someone she could offend for the time being.

.

In order not to cause trouble, she returned the favor with a smile and handed him the folding fan, "Master, please don't let your hands slip next time."

This way of picking up a conversation is too old-fashioned.

This was a pun. After hearing this, the man smiled heartily and took the folding fan handed over by Chang Xi. He opened the fan with a "pop" and introduced himself, "My surname is Yuan. This lady, I am polite."
