Chapter 168 Let it be
The reason why he went out so diligently was for only one thing, and that was to make money.
When Shen Zexi first started his business, he did not start it directly in the Shen family's shop. Instead, he used the money he had saved for many years to start his own business and concealed his identity as the eldest son of the Shen family.
He suffered a lot of losses at the beginning, but it also brought him a lot of experience, and his own business gradually improved.
It was at this time that Shen's father handed over the entire Shen family business to him. After Shen Zexi took over, the Shen family's business expanded several times. In addition to Minglu City, the base camp, it also made a name for itself in several surrounding cities.
Now he has also established a firm foothold in the capital. Although half of the reason is that he has the support of Shen Shiqu, it is undeniable that Shen Zexi himself is capable.
The same is true for Ronghua. In his previous life, Ronghua had suffered enough from having no money. He worked non-stop, but still didn't save any money from working all day long.
So in this life he was eager to make a lot of money, and because he lived in such a colorful world in his previous life, he had many incredible ideas in his mind.
In addition, he had financial support, and the only thing he lacked was strong connections, which was made up after he met Shen Shixu.
Ronghua is now even more powerful, and his whole mental outlook is much better than when Shen Shixu first met him.
Shen Zexi and Ronghua have the same hobbies, the same goals, and the mentality to persevere.
Even if they can't become a couple, they can become good friends.
“What you said makes sense, but we should pretend we don’t know and not interfere, and see how they get along.
If two people have that potential, we can help to bring them together. If not, and we try to bring them together on our own, it will be embarrassing. ”
Xiao Jinyi thought so too, so the couple forgot about the matter and started strolling on the street.
Shen Shixu looked at the man selling candied haws over there, sucked up the last bit of lemon juice in the cup, and stuffed the empty bamboo tube to Xiao Jinyi.
"Wait for me, there's a candied haws stall over there, I'll go buy two."
Xiao Jinyi was surprised to see Shen Shixu buying candied haws from Old Amber. He had been watching Shen Shixu solve cases calmly and forgot that his Ah Xu was only eighteen years old this year and was still a half-grown child!
Thinking that the two of them finally had some free time today to go out and play, Xiao Jinyi decided to take Shen Shixu and indulge himself.
So when Shen Shixu came back with the candied haws and gave one to Xiao Jinyi, he was grabbed by the wrist and dragged away.
"A Xu, I'll take you to a fun place."
Xiao Jinyi pulled Shen Shixu and flew up using Qinggong. The two of them jumped and flew on the roof. After a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a villa in the suburbs.
"Where is this place? Can we just climb over the wall and get in?"
Xiao Jinyi said calmly: "It's okay, this is the property of the third brother, he left a yard here for us brothers, this is my yard.
After leaving the yard, it only takes a cup of tea to reach the place where you can play. Here you can play tossing pots, make couplets with others, play chess... There is even a horse farm where you can race horses. ”
Shen Shixu didn't expect that there was such a good place in Beijing. At this moment, he felt sorry for missing so many fun things before, "Why didn't you bring me here earlier?"
"Well, I haven't been back for so long that I forgot about this place. It was only when I was on the street just now that I thought of taking you there to play that I thought of this place."
Xiao Jinyi touched his nose and said, "But it's not too late now. Come on, I'll take you to play in front."
The two people went to the front yard, and before they got there they heard a lot of lively noise.
"Hey, you can't do this? Go down quickly and get someone more capable to come up."
When Shen Shixu and his friends went in, they saw a lot of people crowded around the pitching pot game. After squeezing in, they listened to the words of the people around them and pieced together the general idea of what had happened.
There was a master of pitching pots who set up a bet that if anyone could beat him, he would give that person fifty taels of gold.
But if you can't beat him, you have to give him ten taels of silver.
Those who can come here to play are not short of money, they come here just for the excitement and to have fun, so there are quite a few people who go there to play.
But they were all lost. The ten-liang silver ingots over there had piled up into a small mountain, and their value was far greater than the fifty-liang gold he won.
Although he had never played the game of touhu shenshixu before, he still knew the rules. Today, he had nothing to do, so he wanted to give it a try, so he took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his purse and handed it over.
“I want to try it too!”
The man who made the gamble looked him up and down, took the silver ingot he handed over, and threw it into the pile of silver with an indifferent expression.
Chen Yizhou didn't think Shen Shixu could beat him, but since someone came to challenge him, he would naturally go all out.
The result was already decided before he could even give it his all.
Chen Shixu had never played pot-throwing before, so the result of his first try was naturally terrible. The three arrows didn't even go in and fell outside.
The last one was the most regrettable. It was clearly thrown in, but it bounced out in the end.
Shen Shixu was not angry when he saw the result. He was just playing for fun and he didn't care about losing now. When he was about to leave, Xiao Jinyi stopped him.
"Don't go, I haven't played yet!"
When Shen Shixu heard that he also wanted to play, his eyes lit up. If he couldn't do it, Xiao Jinyi was sure that he could, so he stood aside and looked at him expectantly.
Xiao Jinyi took out a ten-liang silver ingot and threw it at the pile of silver. The silver ingot hit the silver ingot that Shen Shixu had just sent out.
No one noticed this except Shen Shixu. Shen Shixu shook his head helplessly at Xiao Jinyi's little thoughts, but he felt very sweet in his heart.
In fact, Xiao Jinyi had not played the game of pitching pots many times, but he had good control over the strength and quickly found the trick. Not only did he throw the three arrows steadily into the pot, but two of them even hung on his left and right ears symmetrically.
Chen Yizhou's eyes lit up when he saw this. Finally, an equally powerful opponent had arrived.
It's just that he had consumed too much energy before, and was too excited when he met his opponent, so he unfortunately lost to Xiao Jinyi.
Xiao Jinyi took back the fifty taels of gold he had won and gave it to Shen Shixu.
"Ah Xu, let's go over there and make couplets!"
"Okay!" Shen Shixu put the money away. He made a profit this time.
I don’t know what happened today, but there are competitions for pitching pots and even for making pairs. However, the prizes for pitching pots are different from those for making pairs, where the prizes are tangible things like gold.
The winner of the couplet can get a pair of calligraphy works by a great calligrapher of the previous dynasty.
