She would have understood what he said before when he was not well and had no money to study for him, but now that he is not only in good health, but the fish shop is also profitable, and good days are right in front of him, he says he doesn't want to study anymore.
I felt depressed, a bit like the feeling I had in my previous life when I heard about children who didn't go to school at a young age but wanted to work on the assembly line.
Somewhat sad, pity, even puzzling.
"Why?"
Lin Nan had tears in her eyes, and she tried not to let the tears flow out.
She didn't know why she was so sad.
It seemed that Yan Wenzhi's every move now affected her emotions, and she couldn't control them herself.
Yan Wenzhi found it difficult to explain.
Could it be that he had seen countless men staring at her greedily in the fish house these past few days? Or that he wanted to stay with her and was afraid that she would be in danger.
"I suddenly felt that doing business is quite good." Yan Wenzhi was silent for a long time before he said dryly.
Lin Nan became even more powerless upon hearing this.
She could vaguely guess that Yan Wenzhi didn't want to pursue an official career because of her, but she couldn't figure out why.
I just have to be patient and persuade.
"Since ancient times, literature has been valued over military affairs, workers, peasants, scholars, and merchants. Business people have the lowest status in the court. Whoever does business is not covered with the smell of copper. You are very talented, and you will be able to make a difference in the officialdom in the future.
Maybe, why not, I can take good care of my aunt and earn a lot of money, so you don’t have to worry that your life will become the same as before, it won’t happen again.”
Yan Wenzhi was so moved that he raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, her throat was dry.
"I know it all, but I can't bear to have you work so hard."
As soon as Lin Nan knew there was a breakthrough, he quickly said, "It's not hard work. You study hard and get on the list as soon as possible. This way I can be considered a person with a backing when doing business. Try to earn a job for me as soon as possible."
Seeing her cry and turn into laughter, Yan Wenzhi's heart softened. Why did he meet such a good girl?
The two talked to each other, and it was as if the barrier between them had disappeared, and they suddenly became much closer.
It's almost time for dinner, and the fish restaurant is going to be busy again.
The two of them didn't waste any more time. One was in the kitchen and the other was in the front hall, keeping their busy feet on the floor.
By the time the fish house door was locked, it was already getting late, but today's business was still very good, with a profit of up to 473 taels.
Just relying on the fish restaurant can keep them fed and clothed for the rest of their lives, but Lin Nanyi will not stop there. If he wants to do it, he should do it big.
Her goal is to spread her property across all the state capitals of the Dali Dynasty.
Gu was tired and uncomfortable, so she went back to Qingxi Lane to rest early. Only Lin Nanyi and Yan Wenzhi were walking home at night.
"Let brother Luo Ji come to the fish house tomorrow for a visit. If possible, you can teach him the account books of the fish house in the past few days. In a few days, you will prepare for the college exam."
Lin Nan lowered his head, feeling sour for him.
"Yes!" Yan Wenzhi understood her intention and naturally would not refuse.
When they were about to reach Qingxi Lane, two men with stubble on their faces suddenly rushed out from the alley next to them, staring at Lin Nanyi fiercely.
The two of them stood still, and Lin Nan quickly thought about whether he had offended any big shot recently.
But after thinking about it for a while, there was no one.
Yan Wenzhi quietly pulled her to his side, with the faint intention of pulling her behind him.
But both of them had knives in their hands and they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Who sent you here?"
Lin Nan lowered his voice, even though he was very nervous, he still didn't dare to let the two of them bake.
One of them sneered, "You don't need to know this, just know that we two brothers are here to take your life."
"Since they are going to take my life, then let me die knowingly." Lin Nanyi tried his best to hold them steady and stall for time.
Neither she nor Yan Wenzhi had any fighting skills, and their strength was not as great as the two of them. There was basically no chance of winning in a fight, so they had to think of other ways.
"You'll find out when you get down."
After saying that, he raised his knife and rushed towards Lin Nan.
Lin Nan looked at the shining blade, which was even reflecting in the moonlight.
I forgot my actions for a moment.
At the critical moment, Yan Wenzhi pulled her aside to avoid the falling sword.
Yan Wenzhi was also very nervous. He had never encountered such a thing before, but now he was thinking about how to keep Lin Nanyi safe.
It seemed that Lin Nanyi was getting in other people's way.
Lin Nanyi was not hurt, so the man cursed angrily, turned around and slashed at them again.
Yan Wenzhi had already taken a good look at the terrain just now.
There are shops on both sides, and there are many small alleys. These small alleys were all walked by Lin Nan when he was looking for a shop, and he had an impression of where they basically lead.
It's impossible to be tough. Now the only way to win is to escape.
There was a wooden stick under his feet. Yan Wenzhi turned around and kicked the wooden stick into the air and caught it in his hand.
"Hide behind me."
He whispered to Lin Nanyi. Even at this time, his voice was still terrifyingly steady, and Lin Nanyi felt inexplicably no longer afraid.
The two big men rushed towards them. Seeing the right moment, Yan Wenzhi threw the wooden stick in their direction, then pulled Lin Nan into the alley and disappeared.
The wooden stick hit the big man's nose, which is a very fragile part of the human body. The big man instinctively stopped and covered his nose.
Gave them a chance to escape.
But just a moment later, he was chasing them into the alley where they had entered, holding a big knife and cursing.
Behind her was the curse of the big man, and in front of her was the man pulling her to escape.
As Lin Nan was running fast, he was pulled around one alley after another by Yan Wenzhi.
When everyone was about to faint, Yan Wenzhi stopped and said, "We're home."
The two of them returned home and sat breathing heavily. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu had already fallen asleep, otherwise she would have been frightened again.
The big man followed them around several alleys and successfully lost them.
The two of them searched separately for a long time, but there was no trace at all.
It seems that they still underestimate them.
Lin Nan felt like his heart was beating out of his chest. This was simply more exciting than playing Temple Escape.
"How do you know these roads?"
There was no light in these alleys, so she could barely see through the moonlight, but Yan Wenzhi was able to lead her to escape through the maze-like alleys.
"I had some before when I was buying a shop with you, and then I looked around again when I went to find a carpenter to customize the house sign. Fortunately, I found the right one."
Yan Wenzhi rested for a while, poured tea for Lin Nan, and then spoke slowly.
Lin Nan's eyes widened. She had long forgotten to walk through those places, let alone finding her way in the dark at night.
I have to say that Yan Wenzhi's memory is really great.
After resting, I felt scared again. I was very tired, but now I didn't feel sleepy at all.
"I haven't offended anyone, so who wants my life? They don't hesitate to find someone to kill me?" Lin Nanyi really couldn't figure it out.
Although I have opened a fish restaurant, I have only been in the town for a short time and have not interacted with many people.
She has already excluded the people from the Lin family's old house in the village.
Lin Daqiang and Mrs. Liu hated her and wanted her to die.
But it is absolutely impossible for them to spend money to find someone to kill him, and they will not be willing to part with the money.
Yan Wenzhi said nothing, thinking carefully about the people he had come into contact with since arriving in the town.
But there was no result for a while.
Although I am scared, life must go on.
But what Lin Nanyi didn't know was that Yan Wenzhi was secretly looking at the house again.
Qingxi Lane is still some distance away from the fish restaurant.
Especially after encountering a situation like tonight, he became more determined to move to a place near the fish house.
The next day.
Luo Ji's younger brother came to the fish restaurant.
Luo Wen was very smart. He had also worked as an accountant before. After Yan Wenzhi explained it once, he could write it down and use it flexibly.
After a whole day of inspection, Lin Nanyi decided to hire him as the accountant and asked Yan Wenzhi to start preparing for the exams for the start of school early.
She wanted Yan Wenzhi to enter Qiushui Academy.
Qiushui Academy prepares for exams every year when it recruits students.
New students will have to take an exam to decide whether they can study in the academy, while old students will have to take an exam to decide what class they will study in.
Somewhat similar to the exam placement in previous lives.
There is less than a month left before the start of school, and Yan Wenzhi's studies have been wasted for many years. This time is considered very tight.
Even though Luo Wen became the accountant, Yan Wenzhi still came to the fish restaurant with Gu Shi Lin Nan every day.
While Lin Nan was busy downstairs, he would study in the cubicle on the second floor.
He was afraid that what happened last time would happen again.
He doesn't feel at ease without him by his side.
I bought a carriage two days ago, which saved a lot of energy.
Yan Wenzhi got up early and was sitting in the front driving the car. Lin Nanyi and Gu took the time to rest in the carriage.
After working hard all day, my whole bones feel like they are falling apart.
One month passed in the blink of an eye.
The fish house is slowly getting on the right track, and Luo Ji and Dong Chun have learned most of what Lin Nanyi taught.
The weather was getting colder, and not many people came out to eat, which allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
Today it’s time to go to Banshan Restaurant to teach cooking.
After making arrangements at the fish restaurant in advance, Yan Wenzhi drove the carriage and took Lin Nanyi towards the Banshan Restaurant.
When the fish restaurant first opened, Banshan Restaurant was indeed deserted for a while, but now it is slowly regaining its popularity.
However, the dishes provided by Lin Nanyi still have the highest number of orders.
Shopkeeper Li had been waiting at the door early. When he saw someone coming, he quickly called the groom to come forward and take the horse to the stable to put it there.
He went to meet Lin Nanyi.
"I thought you wouldn't come today."
Shopkeeper Li walked around Yan Wenzhi and greeted Lin Nan.
Yan Wenzhi: "..."
"I promised you three recipes a month. Why don't they come? I'm not one of those people who doesn't keep his word."
Even though they haven't seen each other for a month, the businessman nature in the two of them is still very enthusiastic.
"I heard that the fish restaurant that is very popular recently is opened by Miss Lin. She must have made a lot of money."
As soon as Shopkeeper Li's words came out, Lin Nan knew that he must have checked her out.
But she wasn't afraid. It was clearly written in the contract that as long as she didn't have to provide the dishes to Banshan Restaurant, Banshan Restaurant would have no control over her business. This chapter has been completed!
