Chapter 350: Arrangements have already been made for Huo Yaoxing
Shopkeeper Cui looked at Liu Laosi and looked him up and down.
Liu Laosi quickly bowed deeply to Shopkeeper Cui and said, "I sincerely seek your guidance. Please accept me as your disciple."
Shopkeeper Cui quickly stepped forward and helped him up: "No, no. You are the younger brother of the young master, so you are also half of my master."
Wen Yan quickly said, "Of course. Although you call me Little Master, I, like Chi Fei, treat you as a respectable and amiable elder.
Since my brother has been learning from you, he should be your disciple."
What a joke! Shopkeeper Cui has been through thick and thin with Meng Chifei's grandfather. Who would dare to treat him as a servant?
Moreover, the owner of Tianyi Cloth Shop is just one of his many identities.
In his previous life, after General Meng was poisoned, he almost got the Hexiang Pill from the Lan family.
It is not a mistake for Liu Laosi to take him as his master.
If it weren't for Meng Chifei's help, even if Liu Laosi begged his ancestors for help, Manager Cui wouldn't even look at him.
After seeing the sincere attitude of the Yan siblings, Shopkeeper Cui finally agreed to accept Liu Laosi as his apprentice.
Liu Laosi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
Shopkeeper Cui was puzzled: "What is he doing..."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "He will be back soon."
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside again.
Liu Laosi returned to the box with the six gifts.
Put the things on the table: "Master, this is my apprenticeship gift."
He smiled and nodded at Liu Laosi: "You are also impatient."
Neither side was shy.
Shopkeeper Cui sat down.
Liu Laosi held the teacup and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Master, please have some tea."
Shopkeeper Cui gladly took the tea and took a sip.
He did not let Liu Laosi stand up, but said: "Since you have accepted me as your master, I will teach you your first lesson now. In business, calmness is the most important thing, and impatience is the most taboo."
"Master, I understand, disciple." Liu Laosi couldn't hide his joy and replied in a crisp voice.
Shopkeeper Cui added, "Don't show your joy on your face. When facing customers, you should show them the emotions they want to see."
Liu Laosi knew that he had made a mistake again.
He quickly suppressed his emotions and replied in a serious tone, "Yes, Master."
Shopkeeper Cui seemed to think it was too serious, and softened his tone: "There's no need to be so reserved with people you trust."
Not only did Liu Laosi not relax because of what Shopkeeper Cui said, but he nodded more seriously and cautiously: "Disciple will remember this."
Shopkeeper Cui stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
When Wen Yan saw the reaction of Shopkeeper Cui, he knew that Liu Laosi had passed his primary test and was qualified to learn the real things from him.
After handing Liu Laosi over to Manager Cui, Wen Yan left Tianyi Cloth Shop alone.
Liu Laosi wanted to send her back, but was rejected by Wen Yan.
On the way back.
Wen Yan saw a long line in front of a shop.
Wen Yan was curious, so she went over to take a look, and found that what they were selling was charcoal.
The quality of charcoal varies, and the price is more than ten times higher than in previous years.
Wen Yan glanced at the shop sign.
She clenched her fists and turned into another street.
I visited several shops and found that three or four of them were selling charcoal.
The shops she looked at still belonged to Marquis Jingping.
Three months later, Huo Yaoxing won the first place and the top prize in the imperial examinations, bringing great glory to Marquis Jinping.
Marquis Jinping gave these seven shops to Huo Yaoxing as a reward.
Huo Yaoxing prided himself on being a scholar, a man of high moral character, so how could he get involved in such a lowly business?
He then handed over the seven shops to Wen Yan to manage.
Wen Yan spent several years training those shopkeepers little by little, and at the same time made his shops bigger and stronger, and eventually they became an important source of money for him.
It was precisely because of those talented people that Huo Yaoxing imprisoned her without any regard for her, and later allowed Wen Ruyue to kill him.
Wen Yan chuckled a few times: "As expected! She died so miserably in her previous life, it wasn't unfair at all.
Every knife that stabbed her was delivered by her own hand.”
Huo Yaoxing must have made a lot of money selling charcoal this winter!
It doesn’t matter, let him be proud for a few more days.
Will try again in two months.
She would never let Huo Yaoxing have the chance to win two titles in a row.
She had already arranged it.
This imperial examination will only be the beginning of Huo Yaoxing's gradual decline into the abyss.
In this life, she will never let Huo Yaoxing have another chance to turn things around.
Wen Yan looked at the shop and sneered, then turned around and walked back to Qingfeng Xiaolou.
Before she returned to her place, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. Soon, the snow was so dense that it was impossible to get through.
Huang Ying'er was walking on the path home, completely unaware of the sudden heavy snowfall.
Her mind was full of the words Wen Yan reminded her.
I have to say that Wen Yan is right.
If you don't have the ability, it's easy to get what you want, but you can't keep it at all.
"Oh... Is it because I don't want to hug someone? It's because there is no thigh for me to hug!" Huang Ying'er let out a long sigh.
Five generations ago, the Huang family were all honest farmers.
The most outstanding relative was Ying Zhilin, who passed the imperial examination and became a juren.
Although the Juren was powerful, he was no match for the local prominent families with complicated connections.
Suddenly.
Her eyes lit up.
Isn’t Wen Yan a thick thigh?
I heard that in addition to growing up in the Wen family, she is also a good sister to the eldest daughter of the general who guards the country.
Now is a peaceful and prosperous time, there is no longer any opportunity to be granted a title of nobility.
The Great General who protects the country is already the ceiling among military generals.
If I cling to Wen Yan's thigh and do business with her, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion will definitely protect Wen Yan. Wouldn't that be like protecting myself?
Huang Ying'er clenched her fist. As long as she paid the money, this big guy would not be able to escape!
After Huang Ying'er figured it out, her frown instantly relaxed, and she realized that it was snowing heavily.
"Oh no! It's snowing again. We have to go home quickly."
She ran home quickly, her steps becoming lighter.
Suddenly.
She tripped over something and fell forward.
"Fuck!"
Wen Yan fell flat on his face.
"Ouch, I'm almost dying from the fall." Huang Ying'er rubbed her waist and stood up cursing.
Only then did he realize that what he tripped over was not a stone, but a human-shaped object.
"What the hell is this!"
She swept away the snow, and immediately revealed a handsome face that looked like a human.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a nice face.
Eyes are eyes, nose is nose.
Unfortunately, there was a big hole on his forehead, and blood was oozing out.
It affects the aesthetics, what a pity..."
"Help...help me!" the man suddenly spoke and grabbed Huang Ying'er's arm.
"Ah... he's back to life!" Huang Ying'er was startled and kicked him in the face, then retreated in panic.
"I'm fine, please save me..." The man stretched out his hand towards Huang Ying'er.
It turns out he’s not dead!
Huang Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she grew up under the red flag, and Huang Ying'er couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
