Chapter 231: I Want to Win Whenever I Meet a Competition

Liang Ruoxu smiled and said, "I told you, don't tell anyone else."

Brother Tang smiled and nodded, Liang Ruoxu then whispered in his ear: "You look very much like the Grand Commander, really very much..."

He stretched out his hand and covered half of his face. "Let me put it this way. Just looking at his features, he looks at least 90% like him, if not 100%. But the Grand Commander has a square face and a beard, and looks very powerful. In comparison, you are much more handsome."

Brother Tang laughed and said, "Even if they look alike, so what? Aren't there many people who look similar?"

Liang Ruoxu said: "The Grand Commander has great power in the court. Once he enters the court, others will have to show some mercy to you just because you two look so similar."

Brother Tang smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

I wondered if this guy was unreasonable? Otherwise, why would others be so afraid of him?

The two chatted along the way and then went back to their rooms.

Over there, the second brother went out to ask and found Huo Yuntao. After hearing this and that, Huo Yuntao readily agreed. After a while, he asked someone to send over a few sets of coarse cloth clothes.

Then the second brother went to find Shen Zhuoli with clothes in his arms.

When we arrived, the lights were still on in the house.

In fact, there are quite a few servants in Liujin Garden, but the biggest difference between the people of Jianghu and ordinary people is that they rarely have servants to serve them "personally". Little kids like Xinbao are not included. Young people who can take care of themselves, regardless of gender, no matter how rich they are, generally will not have someone to help them wash their faces and take a bath. They do not have this habit.

So Shen Zhuoli was the only one in the room at this moment.

The second brother knocked on the door, and Shen Zhuoli asked, "Who?"

The second brother replied, "Tang Shirong."

Shen Zhuoli was obviously a little surprised. He walked over quickly and opened the door: "Uncle Tang? It's so late. Is there something wrong?"

"Yes," said the second brother, "something happened."

He walked straight in, and Shen Zhuoli subconsciously made way to let him in.

The second brother sat down and said with a smile: "Brother Huo said that they need to set up another shed tomorrow, but they don't have enough manpower. I brought you a set of clothes. Why don't you, me and little Juexinbao go and help tomorrow?"

Shen Zhuoli was stunned and opened his eyes wide.

He had never encountered such a thing as being "casually" invited by his peers, without begging him or coaxing him, not based on friendship or etiquette, but purely "taking him to play".

It was like pie in the sky. Before Shen Zhuoli had figured out the whole thing, he subconsciously agreed: "Okay, okay."

The second brother gave him the clothes and said, "Then dress up. Let's dress more low-key tomorrow."

Shen Zhuoli took the clothes.

Then he finally came to his senses: "But Uncle Tang, why did you go to sell flowers?"

The second elder brother said, "It is said that I am a genius. I am a little worried. I am afraid that something will be difficult to handle. So I thought, why not take this opportunity to show my face and let everyone know that I am just a poor boy who is lucky enough to have a photographic memory."

I'm lucky to have a photographic memory... If someone else said this, they would probably beat him up, but Shen Zhuoli didn't think much about it.

He sincerely advised him: "Although this dynasty does not prohibit merchants from taking the imperial examinations, and even grants official positions to imperial merchants, in the eyes of most people, merchants are still the lowest class. Since Second Uncle Tang has already worshipped Master Bo as his teacher, he has a bright future. Why should he leave behind such a little thing and let people talk behind his back?"

"It's okay," said the second brother, "having an obvious weakness is not a bad thing. Besides, my master's own son is being sold, so what should I be afraid of?"

Shen Zhuoli was a little surprised, then he remembered that it was Yuan Yaochu.

Maybe it’s because the Yuan brothers are too gangsters and don’t have this kind of temperament at all, so he always forgets that they are actually the sons of the Earl’s Mansion.

Shen Zhuoli didn't try to persuade her any further, "Okay then."

"Then it's settled," the second brother said with a smile, "Then we'll go tomorrow when Xinbao wakes up. Also, you look too conspicuous, so you'll need to cover up a little when the time comes."

Shen Zhuoli nodded: "Okay, Uncle, don't worry."

The second brother's original intention was to ask him to cover up a little bit, such as applying a layer of ink or something, but he didn't expect that when he saw him the next day... This child really doesn't take his beauty seriously. He covers up his face like a professional, even his hair is messed up. At first glance, he looks like a beggar.

The second brother couldn't stop laughing. After a while, Yan Shenjue came out holding Xinbao, and he had changed into coarse cloth clothes.

But Tuanzi was still as delicate as ever, only wearing a coarse cloth robe, while Yan Shenjue had a layer of light ink on his face.

The second brother smiled and said, "Xinbao, eat quickly, we will go after you finish eating."

Xinbao nodded and asked, "Will you sell it?"

"I don't know how to do it, but you do?" The second brother said, "I wrote all those jingles."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xinbao disagreed: "Being able to recite and being able to sell are two different things!"

"Hey?" The second brother deliberately said angrily: "You look down on me? How about we compete?"

Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Then you two," she pointed at them, then at Yan Shenjue, "Compare with the two of us to see who sells the most."

The second brother continued to tease his sister: "That's not unfair, there's one person who is holding back."

"It's okay," Xinbao said, "Brother Xiaoxian doesn't know how to do it, I will teach him, and you can ask Xiaoyu to teach you. We each have a person who is holding back, isn't this fair?"

Several people: "..."

The three of them couldn't help laughing, and Tuanzi obviously didn't think that he was the one holding back.

The second brother said speechlessly: "No, how come I am the one holding back?"

Xinbao raised his fat chin and looked at him with eyes that said everything.

This expression on her cute little face was really funny. Her second brother was actually amused by her: "Okay, then let's compete. Xiaoyu, let's compete for face instead of buns. We can't lose!!"

He looked serious, and Shen Zhuoli couldn't help but smile: "Okay."

When Tuanzi heard that he had accepted the challenge, he immediately became eager to fight.

After all, all top students have one common problem, which is "wanting to win every time they encounter a competition."

She finished her meal quickly, and then several people got on the carriage and went to the second shed.

This side is Yuan Yaochu and Big Brother Tang, as well as a few people from the sect. They have already started selling a long time ago. They are originally selling to ordinary people, so there is no need to do so on Huamu Street. Therefore, this shed is set up at the entrance of a busy street, with more people coming and going. But everyone is busy buying and selling, so business is not very good.

Xinbao stood on a stool and looked around with a serious expression. His second brother and Shen Zhuoli had already started to imitate the others and hawk their wares.

Both of them were from poor backgrounds, so they didn't feel ashamed to do so. It was just that they had never done it before, so it felt a little awkward and unfamiliar... But the second brother was determined to risk his life to accompany the gentleman today, so no matter how awkward he felt in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

He was so frank that Shen Zhuoli soon relaxed as well, and their voices gradually became louder.

The second brother never expected that Tuanzi was serious about the competition and she started to make moves very quickly.
