Chapter 393

Chongyang is really an idea-worthy child. When he saw Aunt Zijin running a school, he immediately had a way of thinking. He Zijin thought that Chongyang was born at the wrong time. If Chongyang lived in Aunt Zijin's previous life, what else would be Lan Xiang?

He Zijin is actually quite strange. Why did Chongyang think about running a school? Is this matter? Ask A Ye, A Ye didn’t say it yet. Because he had promised Chongyang, he couldn’t say it. A Ye has always valued credibility. He just used his mother to threaten and tempt it without missing a word, so his mother thought that her son could not be born by a martyr, otherwise, why would he be so tight? His mother also complained to his father, “A Ye is a child who is a slander.”

His father laughed, "If you ask A Ye, why don't you ask me, I know."

In this way, his mother asked his father and realized that this child in Chongyang had not had a great success in his previous business. It was the shop he had bought before. As Zijin once said, there were two book shops in front of the school in the palace. This was the third one in Chongyang's book shop. Beichang Prefecture is not a place where culture and education are prosperous, so you can imagine the business of that book shop.

Chongyang saw that the business of the bookstore was cold, and then, seeing that Aunt Zijin's school was very profitable, he became interested in running a school. However, he was a big man, so he naturally could not run a girl school. Even if he was a male school, he couldn't do it. Chongyang was a person with a heart. He first remembered what Aunt Zijin said before that the courses in their studies were unreasonable, and there was no such thing as a gentleman's Six Arts. Therefore, Chongyang thought about opening a class for the Six Arts of the Gentlemen. As a result, this idea was just coming out and he was thinking about asking Aunt Zijin to help him think about it, but he intercepted it for Aunt Zijin. Now, Chongyang has come up with another idea. Let's not teach the Six Arts of the Gentlemen, teach other skills, and it will be a good idea!

I have to say that Chongyang is a living person.

Aunt Zijin was very supportive of the idea of ​​Chongyang. Not only did Aunt Zijin support it, but Aunt A Nian also supported it. Chongyang suddenly became full of confidence. Then, when he went home to discuss with his father, he encountered huge resistance.

His father said, "Your uncle is a school student, and he doesn't know how to do business. Your aunt is also a second knife. You think you are good at it, but I ask you, who will hire people who don't know the basics in the shop now. The bigger the shop, the more it is. What's wrong with the apprentice? It's useless to work for four or five years, right? That's to be patient and look at the character. Even if you teach people, you don't have these people who don't know the basics. Besides, do you have someone in your hands? Your aunt runs a female school and searches for female gentlemen in every place a year in advance. All the first-class female gentlemen in Beichang Mansion have searched her for her. Do you want to build a college, do you have a teacher? You are not a college, you just want to teach someone a skill. Do you have a teacher with this skill? No one, where can you teach?"

Chongyang said, "I can settle accounts, I can teach people how to settle accounts."

"Oh, son, if you use your brain, even the client must be a person who knows the truth, let alone the account." His father wished he could knock his son's head open. Tell me, just do business if you want to do business. If your father doesn't come to consult about business, he will go to consult Tanhua. Tanhua specializes in studying and studying, and you are not right!

Chongyang was said by his father, "That's what his father means, this matter can't be done."

Hu Wen said, "Where are you, it's fresh for three and a half days. I'll ask you if your book shop is planning to close."

"No, I printed some books from the He family's grandmother and uncle Jiang, which were very sold very hard." Because the book shop improved, Chongyang was still a bit satisfied. Hu Wen said, "First arrange the business of the book shop, and then talk about other things. How much money do you have in your hands? You have to try to teach people a skill. Not to mention whether anyone comes to learn, is there enough money in your hands? Don't see your aunt making money by making money. Her girl's school, she sees that she has more than 200 taels of silver per person, so let's not talk about her girl's school to cover it.

How much money is there? The nanny in charge is fifty taels a year. Think about it, how much money is the female teacher in school a year? If I do well, she will still lose now. She teaches either the official daughter or the business lady. They are all rich, so they can collect money. You teach people a skill, just take the apprentices in our shop for example. Those who are apprentices are all from poor families. They still have money to learn a skill? That is, after learning, can there be a place to collect it?"

Hu Wen said, "You think it's interesting, but it won't work now."

"When will it work?"

Hu Wen thought for a while, "This is all you can do when the merchant is willing to hire strangers to do things in the shop."

Double Ninth Festival still didn't give up, "I still want to give it up."

Hu Wenxian said, "I don't have money."

Chongyang said, "Your money is not needed by dad."

"Why, are you going to go to Dabao and the others to raise funds again?" If He Zijin heard the word "financial" and he would definitely feel time traveling, but Hu Wen just said it casually.

Chongyang gave his father a basin of cold water to make his heart calm down a little, and said, "Where, I'll make a sign first. I can settle the score anyway, so I'll start from here. If someone comes to learn, I will teach you. If no one comes to learn, I will continue to manage the business of the bookstore. There is no need for you to pay for it." Chongyang felt that he had not yet withdrawn the money, and his father cried poorly, and he became more and more stingy.

Hu Wen asked his son, "Can you make a profit during the New Year in your bookstore?"

"Where can I make a return during the Chinese New Year? There are fewer people studying in Beichang Prefecture, and even fewer people buying books!" Chongyang calculated that it would be good to be able to send out the shopkeeper's moon silver, which would be enough for the book shop to spend.

Hu Wen sighed, "I see Dabao and the others invest money in you, and they will really lose their money."

Chongyang was so angry that "Dad, don't always underestimate whether someone succeeds!" He was so angry that his father was so angry! He had never seen such a father who did not support his son's career!

Chongyang was very angry and went to talk to Aunt Zijin again.

Somehow, He Zijin claimed to be a good education expert when she was a child. She had a good relationship with the children. If there was anything wrong with the children, they would come to tell her parents. Of course, except Aye, who was so mean.

I told Aunt Zijin about pouring cold water on his father to him. He Zijin didn't think what Hu Wen said was wrong. When Chongyang mentioned the opening of a technical school yesterday, He Zijin took it as my Lan Xiang. But what Hu Wen said was not unreasonable, but He Zijin also had his own opinion on it. He pulled Chongyang to sit down beside him and said warmly, "Does Chongyang know about me and your uncle who opened a book shop together?"

Chongyang said, "I know this."

"Although you are young, I think you still remember what our hometown is like in Bishui County?"

"Remember. Although our Bishui County is a small place, I remember that there are mountains and water, warm in winter and cool in summer. Although it is not as prosperous as Beichang Prefecture, it is also an excellent place."

"When you were born, the county was much more prosperous than before. When I was a child, the imperial court had not long been established for a long time, and the county was poor. When I said I wanted to build a college, I bought a few shops outside the college. There was a shop that was opened with your uncle Aren. Many people also thought that in such a small county, the book shop was probably not profitable, and there was a book shop in our county. Later, our book shop was quite good, and we could make dozens of taels of silver a year. It was just a small book shop. Beichang Prefecture is always much better than our county. The people who study here are no more than Jiangnan, the imperial capital, and the place where culture and education are prosperous, but they are better than the county in our hometown. In my opinion, you have not found the secret to running a shop, otherwise, even if there are two book shops next to you, your business would not be so bleak." He Zijin said.

Chongyang scratched his head, "I have books they have, too. Actually, I also think it seems that something is almost the same, it's just that. I clearly feel that it's a bit bad, but I can't find out what the time difference is."

He Zijin smiled, "You will understand when you go back and think about it."

Chongyang said, "Auntie, do you think I will be able to settle the score?" Chongyang was still thinking about his technical school.

He Zijin said, "Tell you a story." Then, He Zijin told the story of the little horse crossing the river that he had learned in his previous life with Chongyang. He Zijin smiled and said, "What I said, your father said, actually, each of them is part of the truth. The water is deep and shallow, so you have to try it yourself."

In Chongyang, I deeply feel that Aunt Zijin is wise.

Chongyang is the most active one among brothers and sisters. He studied mediocrely, but he was still a very prestigious elder brother among brothers and sisters. Axi and Aye both had a good relationship with Chongyang Brother. This is also the reason why Chongyang raised money to open a bookstore and raised money with one step. Chongyang is now big, and he didn't like studying at first, and now he doesn't devote his attention to studying. Instead, he went to various families to pay tribute to his elders after seeking scriptures. He got to Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren laughed loudly and asked him how his business was. Chongyang said, "It's barely enough to make money, no matter how much."

Jiang Ren smiled and said, "Where is everything going smoothly, it's all done slowly."

Chongyang said, "Uncle Ren, I heard that you were amazing when you opened a book shop. That's a big deal, and the county annals have all recorded a note for you."

"Stop flattering." Even though Jiang Ren was doing some business, he was not as good as entering the county agenda. He slapped Jiang Ren's forehead, picked up the fine porcelain and sprinkled the cup, and drank the wine with all his wine. Chongyang quickly raised his eyes and continued the wine for Jiang Ren, saying, "Uncle Ren, I think there are tricks to do everything, I think it's the same for doing business here. I think Dabao will be the material for studying and becoming an official in the future. Uncle Ren, you have all the skills, don't lose the passing on it. It's better to pass it on to me first."

Jiang Ren smiled again and said, "Boy, there is no trick in this, it's just that you haven't realized it yet."

Chongyang hurriedly said, "Uncle, then you can understand me quickly."

Jiang Ren smiled and touched the mustache left on his lips, pretending to behave, saying, "The law cannot be passed on lightly."

"Don't spread it lightly, uncle Ren, just spread it whatever you say!"

Jiang Ren drank half a cup of wine and gave an idea for Chongyang, "You are like this, go to the shop to help for an hour every day after school. Remember not to be lazy. After half a year, come over and I will pass on the secret to you!"

After hearing what Jiang Ren said on Chongyang, he was immediately overjoyed and served his uncle Aren more and more attentively!

Dabao felt that Brother Chongyang was a flatterer.

After dinner at the Jiang family in Chongyang, he had to go home and chatter, "Every day, you either go to your aunt's house or your uncle's house, why can't you be honest at home?"

Chongyang said, "I have something to do."

"What's the matter?"

Chongyang didn't dare to tell his mother about opening a book shop. Before he opened a book shop, he originally planned to do some achievements to make his mother look at him with admiration. As a result, he had to chant Buddha's name if the book shop didn't fall. Therefore, he kept hiding the book shop from his mother. Now his mother asked, Chongyang stumbled over and went back to his house to wash and rest.

The third girl said to her husband, "Don't you say that his broken book shop is about to fall down? Why hasn't it fallen yet!" Most of the children are smart and think that their parents don't know anything, but they don't know what their parents don't know.

"Don't say this." Hu Wen laughed, "Dongyang owes all his brothers and sisters a lot of debts. When his book shop collapses, we can't pay off the debts for him."

"Stop fooling me, think I don't know how cheap his shop comes." The third girl said with a suffocating, "I think he is young and should study for a few more years, so you just want to do business. If you don't hurry up, you will ask him to suffer a big loss and know that business is not easy to do, so you can ask him to go back and continue studying. If you are so indulging in this way, I think there is no future for Chongyang."

Hu Wen said, "In this world, you can read a lot of books and read thousands of miles away. I really don't like studying in Chongyang. Since this is the case, it's better to learn some business methods and have a bowl of rice in the future. You are just too strong."

The third girl sighed, "I just want my children to live better than us, and to be better than ours."

Hu Wen smiled, "Think about it, I think Chongyang is very good, he is very active and happy every day. People have been going for a long life, and now they are there. If you really want him to be an official, spend some money and donate a real lack of money in the future."

When Hu Wen mentioned the matter of donating officials, the third girl suddenly realized and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it!" and said, "I think you already have an idea."

"Don't worry about this matter. Chongyang is still young and has a tough personality. I will make arrangements in the future." He said, "Don't worry about his schooling. He is not the only thing he can do. He is about to be a bride. In the past two years, you might as well try to find a good wife for Chongyang. When he has a firm temperament, he will think about his future without any haste."

The third girl said, "It's a pity that our families are only A Xi, who is not quite old. I see Zijin's appearance with A Nian's baby A Xi. It's still too early for A Xi to have a marriage with her."

"A Xi is not thinking about it. Although he is a relative, his family is not quite right now. If we have a daughter, it would be okay for the two families to marry each other. A Xi is a girl, and Zijin and A Nian will love her a little more." Hu Wen said, "He is the eldest son of this marriage in Chongyang. You must find a sensible, generous and decent girl. Even if the family is a little poor, it doesn't matter. Our family doesn't expect the daughter-in-law's dowry to survive."

"That's what it means," said the third girl, "We'll be shorter after all, so it's better to ask my aunt and I about it tomorrow. If we are of the same age, we can see each other two or three years in advance, and we'll see it accurately."

Hu Wendao, "very good."

After worrying about the eldest son's future marriage, the couple took Saburo to bed early.

Chongyang has been working hard in business, but just in October, Ji Zhenjiang came to visit. He Zijin was very happy and asked the siblings to stay at her house. Jiang Ying had a lot of words to tell He Zijin. After Ji Zhen saw the ceremony, he said, "Sister Zijin, I haven't been to pay my respects to Mr. Zijin for a long time. I thought about going over and seeing Mr. Ah Xi first, and then picking up sister Ah Xi back."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Go."

Ji Zhen is eleven years old and his behavior looks like an adult. Especially since he was young, he was very handsome. When he was a child, he was carved with jade and now he is already an exquisite young figure. After Ji Zhen left, He Zijin smiled and said, "Azhen is getting better and better."

Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Yes. At Beijing Pass, many little girls looked at him quietly as soon as he went out. Azhen often felt unhappy about this."

He Zijin smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? Because he was born well, he is like this."

"The child's house is good and bad at the moment." Jiang Ying said some interesting things about his younger brother, "This year, the war in Beijingguan has continued, so his adoptive father kept Azhen and worked around him. Now Fang Fang has calmed down. I heard that Alie has won the imperial examination and his sister's school has also been done. I have nothing to do, so I came to my sister's place to stroll. After hearing this, Azhen also wanted to come together, so she came together."

He Zijin said, "Azhen hasn't come this year, and the children are all thinking of him." He asked again, "Is it so peaceful now?"

"It should be nothing big."

He Zijin said, "We are in Beichang Prefecture, but we have never heard of the war in Beijing Pass."

"Why do you make trouble all over the city know? It makes the people uneasy?" Jiang Ying said, "If what you expected is not right, the venue should be restarted before the New Year."

He Zijin smiled and said, "Then this time it's very lively. After the Quotation, Beichang Mansion will be less lively than before. If you know the restart of Quotation, you don't know how many businesses are going to dance happily and go around and tell each other."

Jiang Ying came this time not just to visit He Zijin, but also to take care of the business. In addition, she also wanted to find a house in Beichang Prefecture. He Zijin asked Jiang Ying, "Is this planning to live in Beichang Prefecture for a long time?" Jiang Ying often came to the Jiang family to live in a small family, mainly for Ji Zhen to study in the Jiang family. At that time, Ji Zhen was young, and Jiang Ying came to visit her younger brother. Now, Jiang Ying wants to buy a house in Beichang Prefecture, so she must live for a long time.

Jiang Ying laughed, "I like the tranquility of Beichang."

He Zijin knew that something was wrong when he heard this, but Jiang Ying had no intention of saying it again, so He Zijin couldn't ask again.

However, Ji Zhen said that he was going to pay his respects to Luo Daru and pick up A Xi. He never looked back. He didn't look back until the evening when he came back with A Xi and the twins. A Xi and the twins were very happy, but even Ji Zhen's expression could not be described. Because the twins whispered "beautiful brother" at once, Ji Zhen's face was stinky.

He Zijin said, "Axi, why do Ah Yun and Ayan want Azhen to hug you?" On weekdays, twins are always asked to hug you.

A Xi said, "These two brats drool when they see Azhen's uncle and don't ask me to hug them." He said to the twins, "It's time to get home! Don't be dependent on Uncle Zhen anymore, come down and leave by myself!"

Ah Yun and Ayan were displeased. One person had two small arms strangled the beautiful brother's beautiful neck, but refused to come down. Ah Xi rolled up her sleeves, strode forward, and first lifted A Yan Zizhen's uncle. Ah Yan immediately rushed over to hug the beautiful brother's thigh. Ah Xi pulled him away at the toes and lifted Ah Yun in his hand. The twins were so angry that they stomped their feet and cried. Ah Xi carried them in one hand and went into the house. The two of them immediately shut up and stopped howling, and both said, "We are obedient, we are obedient, we are not spanking!" Sister Ah Xi has always been very violent, and the younger brothers are disobedient, so they just beat him up. Ah Yun and Ah Yan are still young, but they were beaten up by the elder sister.

A Xi pointed at them and taught a lesson, "Don't think I can't see you fake howling! Just hold you all the way! If you get more and more greedy, I won't beat you to death!"

Toward the elder sister, the twins dared not speak out!
