Chapter 426: Ways to Make Money
The parade gradually moved away.
In the private room of Ruyi Teahouse, a woman in a veiled hat lifted the gauze curtain, revealing the beautiful face of the fifth princess Ji Xiangyun.
The maidservant spoke up for her: "That Ying Zhilin is too ungrateful. He rejected you in public at the Qionglin Banquet, but in the blink of an eye, he announced his relationship with that little bitch in front of everyone. Isn't this a slap in your face?
Princess, with just one order from you, I can make their lives worse than death!"
Watching the parade gradually moving away.
Ji Xiangyun stared at Ying Zhilin's back with a determined look, feeling confused.
That Wen Yan was neither as beautiful as herself nor had a noble family background as herself.
She was even a second-rate businessman who could only earn a little bit of money by pleasing others.
Wen Ruyue is inferior to himself in every way. Why does Ying Zhilin only like her and sneer at himself?
Ji Xiangyun asked the question in his mind.
Without a second thought, the maid replied, “Of course, I should know that Lin is of humble origin and usually comes into contact with people of humble origin.
I don’t understand your dignity and merit, Princess.”
"is that so?"
"Of course it is. People like Ying Zhilin, who come from a humble background, are naturally mean.
The better you treat this kind of bastard, the more arrogant he becomes.
You only need to pinch his lifeline, and he will slowly submit to you, obey your orders, and do whatever you ask for."
"Is this method really useful?"
"Don't worry, princess. Men are all mean-spirited. This trick is the most effective."
Ji Xiangyun's face changed, and he suddenly turned around and slapped the maid.
The slap sounded crisp and loud.
The maid covered her face and knelt down: "Princess, please forgive me."
Ji Xiangyun turned his numb palms and said, "He's a cheap bone. So what am I to be interested in him? Am I a dog that won't let go of a cheap bone?"
The maidservant was horrified and said, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Princess."
Ji Xiangyun said impatiently, "Go away, don't be an eyesore here.
Go keep an eye on them, I want to know their every move.
I want to know exactly what they said and what they ate."
"Yes..." The maid did not dare to delay for a moment and retreated using her hands and feet.
Ji Xiangyun was not the only one who was as angry and mad as she was.
On the second floor of a silver shop.
Wen Ruyue looked at Ying Zhilin, who was being admired by the people with great vigor and enthusiasm. She felt a pang of pain in her heart and cold sweat instantly wet her back.
She couldn't believe it, grabbed Jiang Xinkui's arm and shook it desperately: "Impossible! How could Ying Zhilin possibly get the top score!
He should be a sickly sick man!
It was he who stole the prince's top spot!
He is a thief and his virtue is unworthy of his position."
Snap——
A crisp sound.
Jiang Xinkui slapped him in the face.
Wen Ruyue's eyes widened with tears: "Mom, you hit me!"
"That's enough, stop making trouble. If others heard what you just said, the prince would also be affected."
Jiang Xinkui sighed and slowed down his tone, "Ruyue, the prince's failure doesn't mean anything.
It’s better to study hard for three years and then take the exam again.
At worst, he will still be a marquis when he inherits the title in the future.
Even though he has worked hard all his life, he still has to bow to his son-in-law."
Yes, she has memories of two lives, how could she make the wrong choice!
In addition to Wen Ruyue, many women who were not on good terms with Wen Yan were also furious after learning that the top scorer in this year's exam was her husband.
Wen Yan was born into a humble peasant family, but she was lucky enough to be brought into the Wen family, where she enjoyed the life of a rich lady for more than ten years and was even promised to the wife of a marquis as her legal wife.
After much difficulty in rectifying the situation, the husband she married became the top scorer in the imperial examination.
Wen Yan alone accounts for 70% of the good things in the world.
The parade lasted two hours.
Ying Zhilin kept smiling.
When he returned home, his smile was frozen.
He returned to the yard through the back door.
When I opened the door, I saw Wen Yan teaching Fourth Brother Liu how to read the account book.
When Brother Liu Si saw him coming back, he immediately stood up to greet him.
He took out a brocade box and said, "Brother-in-law, congratulations on getting the top spot in the exam."
Wen Yan also stood up and greeted him: "You've been strolling around the streets all afternoon, you must be hungry! Come over for dinner."
Ying Zhilin rubbed the stiff muscles on his cheeks and said, “I’m really hungry.
At the Qionglin Banquet at noon, with the Emperor present, I didn’t dare eat as much as I wanted.”
Ying Zhilin went to wash his hands and sat next to Wen Yan.
Pei Er was serving food to everyone while laughing secretly: "There are several bumps on the uncle's forehead. I wonder what hit him with what?"
Ying Zhilin took out a handful of silver coins and a bag of copper coins from his arms.
He said with a smug look on his face, "How's my harvest this afternoon? Not bad, right?"
Pei'er was stunned and counted: "It must be about 20 or 30 taels, where did you get it, uncle?"
Ying Zhilin looked proud and told the whole story.
When he was paraded through the streets, did someone still throw silver wrapped in a handkerchief at him?
At first he was hurt and a little angry.
Then an idea struck him, and he caught all the silver bags that were thrown at him.
He kept the silver, threw the handkerchief back, and said to the other party: "Thank you for your generosity, young lady. This dime is enough to buy a box of rouge for my wife."
**驚搜小家姿**’s nickname was changed to **驚搜小家氣**.
Taking her money to please his wife is like stabbing a knife into someone's heart!
But it made the girl very angry.
He then did the same thing, accepting every handkerchief thrown to him.
Ying Zhilin had learned kung fu, so his accuracy in catching things was beyond words.
He caught as much as they threw.
Small amounts add up to a lot, and we have these gains.
However, the image of the top scholar as a refined and elegant scholar who despised money was completely shattered.
I got a new nickname, Silver Chain.
This made many girls who had a secret crush on him give up.
No matter how handsome his face is or how elegant his temperament is, he will never be able to enjoy the company of such a stingy and petty man.
After listening to this, everyone laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Wen Yan didn't expect Ying Zhilin to use such a mean trick.
Ying Zhilin said complacently: "Although the trick is harmful, it is useful.
Now when those girls see me, they all gnash their teeth in hatred.”
Everyone avoided him and rejected the idea of getting people around him.
How could Wen Yan not understand his intention?
She found that Ying Zhilin was becoming more and more interesting.
"Everyone, please open the pot quickly. Yanyan and I have to go out for something after dinner." Ying Zhilin carefully skimmed off the oil in Wen Yan's soup.
Because of Ying Zhilin's urging, dinner was eaten quickly.
After dinner, Ying Zhilin took the lantern and went out with Wen Yan.
Soon, they came to the entrance of an alley.
Wen Yan knew this place.
The famous Sophora japonica Alley in Beijing.
This alley is very narrow and the houses inside are not big, but they are very popular and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.
