Ji Xiaosi wanted to learn from Mr. Zheng, and he wanted to experience the joy of being a teacher, so the two hit it off.
To Zheng Wanjun's astonishment, and without anyone else (especially the Ji family) knowing, Ji Xiaosi became Mr. Zheng's direct disciple.
Ji Xiaosi still went to work, but after returning from the bookstore, he no longer sought advice from Zhao Qingyun, but went to the Zheng family to receive Mr. Zheng's strict education.
There are twelve hours in a day. Ji Xiaosi works (and eats) for six hours, reads (and gets scolded and slapped) for four hours, and only sleeps for two hours a day.

But Ji Xiaosi still persisted.
Three months passed quickly. Ji Xiaosi learned the Three, Hundred, and Thousand chapters with Mr. Zheng and began to read the Four Books.
He was smart enough and worked even harder, like a drowning man grabbing a straw, and worked hard with all his might.
Mr. Zheng feels more and more accomplished.
He began to think that Ji Xiaosi should spend all his time reading.
Instead of wasting your life in the bookstore.
But the people in the Ji family are all scoundrels and vampires.
If they knew that Mr. Zheng valued Ji Xiaosi, they would desperately rely on the Zheng family.
Although Mr. Zheng is not afraid, he still finds it troublesome.
Furthermore, the Ji family is Ji Xiaosi's family after all. If Ji Xiaosi ignores it or is too decisive, it will not be good for his future.
"Be careful not to use the wrong weapon!"
Mr. Zheng sighed silently.
Just when Mr. Zheng was thinking about how to change this situation, something happened to the Ji family!
"Ji Dalang seemed to have offended someone. When he was going to another place to purchase goods, he passed by Shuangtou Mountain and was kidnapped by the bandits there."
Shuangtoushan is the most famous bandit in the vicinity.
They commit robbery, kidnapping and extortion, and almost all kinds of evil.
However, the boss of Shuangtou Mountain was quite smart. He used the banner of "robbing the rich to help the poor" and did not harm the poor people, nor did he dare to target the wealthy and powerful.
They only robbed the middle class - passing merchants, or unscrupulous businessmen who were "rich but unkind".
Besides, they only want money, not life.
As long as the kidnapped person pays the ransom, they will release the hostage safely.
It is precisely because of the boss's "rules" that Shuanglong Mountain, despite its notoriety, has not aroused public anger. Even the government has only carried out symbolic sieges a few times.
There was no large-scale mobilization of officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits.
As long as the government doesn't take it seriously, the bandits in Shuangtou Mountain will never be completely wiped out.
More than ten years have passed, and the bandits in Shuangtou Mountain still exist.
"Shuangtoushan isn't a group of people who rob the rich and give to the poor. They only kidnap the truly wealthy."
Ji Dalang was just a small businessman who opened a small shop, and he did not meet the "person ticket" standard of Shuangtou Mountain at all.
"Or maybe he offended someone. Tsk tsk, the people from Shuangtou Mountain have said that the Ji family should pay 100 taels of silver to redeem him."
"One hundred taels? My God, can the Ji family have so much money?"
"...The ransom isn't the most important thing. The key is who brings the money to redeem the victim."
Ji Dalang seems to have offended someone.
If Shuangtou Mountain does not follow the rules and takes the ransom but still kills the hostage, not only will Ji Dalang be in danger, but even the person who delivers the ransom will be doomed.
The Ji family has more than just Ji Dalang. There are many sons, and each of them has married and had children, and each has their own selfish desires.
The old neighbors who were familiar with the Ji family thought that the Ji family could still raise the ransom of one hundred taels of silver if they found a way.
The key is whether the Ji family is willing to join in.
Once the money is collected, who will go to Shuangtou Mountain to redeem the people?
The old neighbors were not wrong in their guess; the Ji family could indeed collect one hundred taels.
Old Man Ji also expressed his willingness to pay money to redeem the person.
First of all, Ji Dalang is the eldest son, and old man Ji values him the most.
Secondly, Ji Dalang's son had some talent for studying, and the teachers in the academy all praised him.
Old man Ji himself is a street thug, and he seems to have no shame.
In fact, deep down he also wanted his children and grandchildren to be successful and for someone in his family to become a high-ranking official.
The eldest daughter of the Ji family is the sweetheart of old man Ji.
Therefore, people from other families were reluctant to pay because they felt bad about the money. However, Old Man Ji glared at them with his triangular eyes, shocking all his sons and daughters-in-law.
This old rascal has been doing this for decades.
If you really make him angry, he will do anything immoral.
The other sons and daughters-in-law were all scared and expressed their willingness to chip in.
The money is enough!
But who will deliver it?
Old Man Ji would definitely not go. He did value his eldest son, but he valued his life more.
Ji Dalang's sons couldn't go either because they were still young.
Ji Erlang, Ji Silang and Ji Wulang also found different excuses and refused to go to Shuangtou Mountain.
In the end, it was the honest and filial Ji Sanlang who went to Shuangtou Mountain to redeem the person, carrying one hundred taels of silver and shaking his legs.
Three days later, Ji Dalang and Ji Sanlang returned.
Although Ji Dalang had a bruised face and nose, he was intact.
But Ji Sanlang had both legs broken.
Ahem, after asking carefully, it turns out it’s Ji Dalang’s fault again!
The people from Shuangtou Mountain Stronghold did not take any action.
The two brothers got down the mountain safely. When they were resting in a tea stall beside the official road, Ji Dalang, who was frightened, hungry and beaten in the mountain stronghold, was filled with anger.
He actually got into an argument with a group of passersby over a trivial matter.
