School has already ended, and a carriage parked aside at the gate of Mingde College. Judging from the marks on the body of the car, it belongs to the Xia family.

Another carriage came out of the school and stopped in front of the carriage at the door. The curtain was lifted. It was Xia Chenyang, the fourth young master of the Xia family. He said, "Little sister, why don't you go home?"

In the carriage before, it was Xia Xiyue, the fifth small family of the Xia family. She lifted the curtain and said, "Fourth Brother, I'm waiting for someone here."

"Don't play too late."

Xia Chenyang thought she had made an appointment with the little sister to go shopping, but she didn't care, so she left with a reminder.

Xia Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, she didn't want her fourth brother to know that she was waiting for Chen Mu.

Another quarter of an hour later, she finally saw the person she was waiting for came out of the school. Just as she was about to say hello, a boy stopped Chen Mu.

He was robbed first.

"That's the illegitimate son of the Gu family..."

Xia Xiyue was even more surprised to recognize the boy's identity. Chen Mu is really not easy. She has only been in school for a few days and has become friends with Qin Ruosu and has made friends with the Gu family.

Although Gu Zheng is a concubine's son, he is the Gu family.

She couldn't help but take a little more attention to Chen Mu's cousin.

…………

"Chen Mu."

Chen Mu walked out of the school gate happily and heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw that it was Gu Zheng and said, "It's you, is there anything wrong?"

Gu Zheng said, "I want to invite Brother Chen to have a drink."

"One other day, I have something to do." As he said that, he was about to cross by him.

Gu Zheng stood in front of him and said, "Actually, I have something to do to discuss with Brother Chen."

Chen Mu said, "If you have anything, just say it here, just drink it."

Seeing that he was determined, Gu Zheng had to express his purpose of finding him. "I saw that Brother Chen's Feiling Sword Technique is so superb, so I want to ask Brother Chen to give me some advice on his sword technique."

"You are too arrogant to me. Just my sword technique is still far from that, so how can I be qualified to teach others?" Chen Mu probably guessed his purpose and refused without hesitation.

Just kidding, his time is so precious. He has to learn and practice martial arts. How can he have extra time to teach him sword skills?

Gu Zheng didn't give up and said, "I won't let Brother Chen teach you in this way. Brother Chen teaches you in one move, so I will offer you five silver dollars."

Chen Mu's eyes narrowed and he looked at him seriously.

It’s not obvious that this is still a local tycoon. The currency of this era is silver rounds and copper plates. One silver round can be exchanged for one hundred copper plates. The cheapest rice on the market is about three to four copper plates per kilogram.

One silver ball can buy about thirty kilograms of rice.

Rounding and converting it into one silver circle is about 100 yuan on the earth, and one move is taught 500 yuan. There are a total of 108 styles of Feiling Sword Technique, which is 54,000 yuan.

A middle school student can easily take out 54,000 yuan, what if he is not a rich man.

Moreover, the purchasing power of 540 silver dollars in this era is definitely much higher than that of the earth's 54,000 yuan, because labor costs are cheaper.

Chen Mu said, "I want to collect a deposit of 10% first."

As for time, there will always be a squeeze. He is so poor that he can't even find a copper coin. Now he has an opportunity to make money, so he will naturally not let it go.

"No problem, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

Chen Mudao, "Take money on lunch break tomorrow and see you in the back mountain of the school."

After finalizing the deal, Gu Zheng left.

Chen Mu was in a better mood. It seemed that he had been working hard recently and had encountered good things one after another.

"Chen Mu."

Before he could take a few steps, he heard someone calling him again, this time he was a woman, and his voice was very strange. He turned around and saw a girl sitting in the carriage, and said strangely, "Are you?"

The smile on the girl's face froze and she said stiffly, "My name is Xia Xiyue."

The surname is Xia?

Chen Mu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he looked at the carriage again. As expected, he was a little familiar with it. He suddenly said, "So it's Miss Fifth. You call me, is there anything wrong?"

Xia Xiyue had already controlled the expression on her face and said, "You are going home, I'll take you for a ride."

Such kindness?

Chen Mu felt that there was something strange about it. He had encountered it before, and he ignored him. Why did he suddenly ask him to take the carriage?

He said, "This is not very convenient."

Xia Xiyue said, "You are my cousin, what's inconvenience? Come on."

Since she was so enthusiastic, Chen Mu would be disrespectful.

He wanted to see what tricks this cheap cousin wanted to play.

The carriage is quite spacious and more than enough for two people to sit.

"Are you used to it at school?"

"good."

"Did Xiao Liuzi deliver food on time? If he dares to neglect you, tell me."

“It’s very punctual.”

...

Xia Xiyue was caring for him every sentence, but Chen Mu was more vigilant. He showed his diligence for nothing, either a traitor or a thief. He was so good, but suddenly he cared about him so much, who knew what she had in mind.

Finally, she asked the most critical question, "How did you know Qin Ruosu?"

A lot of preparations are laid, just to ask this?

Although she didn't know her purpose, her intuition told him that there would be no good things.

That woman is indeed a trouble.

Chen Mu said decisively, "Who is Qin Ruosu? I don't know him?"

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Xia Xiyue said, "Don't hide it from me. I saw it all in the library at noon. She took the initiative to talk to you."

Chen Mu was exposed in person, but he still remained calm and said, "You said that girl, she wanted to read the Guanghai Times. I took the last copy and wanted to ask me for it, but I didn't give it to me."

Is it really just that?

Xia Xiyue was half-believing and half-doubted, and wanted to ask again. Then he heard him say, "I'll go back first." After that, before the carriage stopped, he pushed the door and got out of the carriage, and entered the Xia Mansion in a blink of an eye.

After the carriage entered the mansion, Xia Xiyue returned to the yard where she lived. The more she thought about it, the more she became, the more she was wrong. At noon, she was in the library. Although she was a little far away and could not hear the conversation between the two, but looking at the expressions of the two, she definitely did not look like Chen Mu said, just for a newspaper.

"This bastard dares to lie to me."

She cursed with gritting teeth, and wanted to settle the score with Chen Mu, but then she thought about it and gave up the idea.

If he insisted, he would have no choice but to do anything to him.

"Speaking of this, which cousin is he from?"

Xia Xiyue felt this question in her heart and decided to ask.

She went to find the butler, "Brother Zhong, ask you something."

The housekeeper Zhong Bo is in his fifties and has been in the Xia Mansion for many years. He has watched her grow up since childhood. He is deeply trusted by her father and has a high status in the Xia Mansion.

Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "Miss Fifth, what do you want to ask?"

Xia Xiyue said, "Which cousin is that Chen Mu? Why haven't you heard of such a person before?"

There are not many relatives in the Xia family, and she has basically seen them all.

Bo Zhong said, "It is the son of a cousin who married a far away. Because he died early, he didn't have much contact."

Xia Xiyue looked at him with suspicious eyes, "I remember that the cousin seemed to be married to the Fang family."

"I don't know much about this."

"Brother Zhong, are you hiding something from me?"

"How dare I hide it from the lady? If I don't believe it, I can ask the master."

There is a problem.

Xia Xiyue realized from Zhong Bo’s attitude that this matter was not simple.

Why should we conceal Chen Mu's life experience?
