pawn wife

Chapter 100 Chapter 100: This way of striking up a conversation is too old-fashioned (second update)
Chang Xi was stunned for a moment when she saw this silver hairpin. Recently, she had forgotten all about it, so she raised her head and looked at the half-grown boy standing firmly in front of her. Now that she took a closer look, the half-grown The young man has grown taller, his eyes have become firmer, and his thin shoulders can carry things. Sure enough, setbacks can make people grow more.

"It seems that you really made money selling vegetables."

Zhang Yingda blushed, but he had to commute between towns and villages every day, so it was hard to see it on his sunburned skin, but the cramped and nervous expression still betrayed his mood.

Chang Xi didn't think she was a very kind and soft-hearted person, but she could see the hard work this half-grown boy put in, and it was because of this that she was willing to help.

"You did a good job, even better than I expected." After she finished speaking, she grabbed the thin silver hairpin and inserted it directly into her hair. In her eyes, it was no longer a gift from Xu Dalang to the original owner. It's not something, but the mind of a half-grown boy.

And this intention deserves her respect.

This is the first time that Zhang Yingda has been praised so much. This time his face was as red as the sunset, and he was even more embarrassed when he saw Chang Xi smiling, but he still said stubbornly, "I promised you, It will definitely be done."

Chang Xi smiled and said, "Tell me about your vegetable selling experience."

She wants to know how he is growing up. This is the first person she thinks of cultivating after time travelling, so she is still looking forward to it.

Hearing this, Zhang Yingda immediately thought of the hardships he had suffered during this period, and the joy of making money. He wanted to share all of these with her. After all, without her, he would not be who he is now.

So, he began to tell his experience of selling vegetables.

Chang Xi listened quietly, and there were not many surprises ahead. After all, it was she who pointed him to the road at the beginning, so it was taken for granted that Zhang Yingda did a good job. Carrying big bags at the pier is more suitable for him.

Fortunately, Zhang Yingda started this business fairly smoothly.

Until he said that he went to small restaurants and food stalls on the street to sell melons and vegetables, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she could think of this in just a few months, which shows that Zhang Yingda is really a plastic material, and his performance can be said Even better than an adult from a rich family like Xie Ming.

Seeing the approval in Chang Xi's eyes, Zhang Yingda was encouraged and continued, "At the beginning, those people didn't believe us, thinking that we were still half-grown children, and they would only order food if the elders in the family came forward." After a pause, "You know who my father is. It's too late for us to hide from him. How can we let him participate in these things?"

"Oh, how did you convince people?"

"It's miserable!" Zhou Afa, who was eating pastry beside him, interrupted.

Zhang Yingda glared at him, can't you keep your mouth shut if you have something to eat?
Zhou Afa glanced at Chang Xi, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and immediately knew that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head to eat as if to make amends, and this time he was sensible and didn't dare to intervene indiscriminately.

"As long as you don't commit crimes and commit crimes, you can make money, and you won't be shabby."

Zhang Yingda got Chang Xi's words, and then he felt that his face was not so hot, "Our family is a mill, there are always kind people who are willing to help us, try to order our dishes, one will have two, we sell The food I went there was getting more and more every day, and then I had to go to two more villages to supply them with enough food, and I made a lot more money than before.”

Chang Xi saw that Zhang Yingda's young face was covered with the word "satisfaction", so he said: "Zhang Yingda, how much is your daily turnover, how much profit can you make from it, how to make the most money, how to increase market share, and Where is your profit growth point? Have you thought about this?"

Every time Chang Xi asked a question, Zhang Yingda, who was already a little complacent, suddenly stopped. He didn't think about it. He only knew that the money he earned every day minus the money he bought was the profit he made. Besides, He doesn't have the slightest idea of ​​making accounts. As for the longer-term planning, he has no idea at all.

Seeing the young man on the opposite side get down, Chang Xi said, "Zhang Yingda, if you are satisfied with such an achievement, then your road is not destined to go far." Yes, do you know how to read?"

Zhang Yingda suddenly remembered that Mrs. Chang was also illiterate before, but after she entered Jiefu, she learned to read. Is there really such a big difference between being able to read and not?
He thought so in his heart, and asked the question out of his mouth.

Chang Xi looked at him meaningfully, "Only by reading can you be wise. If you don't read, you will be illiterate after all."

Zhang Yingda didn't understand the meaning of the word "illiterate", but he knew it was not a good word.Otherwise, Chang would not speak in such a tone.

So, after solving the problem of food and clothing a little bit, he started to have a new pursuit, he also wanted to learn to read, he didn't want to be looked down upon by Chang.

"Let's take three months as an example. I hope you can read a whole book of "Hundred Surnames" in front of me." Chang Xi set a small goal for him.

To cultivate talents in this era, literacy must be eliminated, otherwise she would not want it.

Zhou Afa, who lowered his head and ate the pastry, saw Fa Xiao's suddenly ambitious appearance, and suddenly felt that the pastry in his mouth was not delicious, and he couldn't read, but he knew that people who were knowledgeable in reading and writing would be respected by others, and although he He never thought about being a scholar, but he also wanted to go one step further.

Therefore, he secretly decided that he must follow in Zhang Yingda's footsteps and never let him leave him behind.

Only Zhang Lianzi is still eating delicious cakes. She has no interest in reading and literacy. Girls don’t need to know so much about their families. Brother's burden.

However, many years later, after seeing Xintiandi with Chang Xi, she thought back on this idea, she felt that she was so naive at that time, and she was struggling in poverty, how could she meet a good partner?
Of course this is another story.

Here, Chang Xi's conversation with the three and a half older children fell into the ears of the man in the half-open box on the second floor not far away, and saw the man push away the coiled leaves outside the box that blocked his view with a folded fan. , saw Chang Xi's appearance clearly through the gap, and was slightly startled immediately.

He had actually seen this woman whose words surprised him. He saw her talking with Xie Laoba in the bustling street with Xie Jin in the restaurant, and he remembered her appearance at that time, because Xie Jin's mood that day was too wrong.

Later, after a secret investigation, he finally found out that this is the woman who came from Xiefu's fourth wife, Mrs. Qin, to Xie Jindian. It was really unexpected. For this reason, he even asked people to investigate her origin and past. The deeds can be said to be lackluster.

A girl from a humble family background, except for her good looks, she has nothing outstanding. She married a wretched gambler husband. In order to pay off her gambling debts, she was pawned to Jiefu for three years.

As for her performance in Jiefu, he did not investigate further. After all, if she did not do it secretly enough, it would definitely anger Xie Jin and Xie's family. He couldn't afford to mess with this local snake, so he put the matter aside when he knew there was such a person. up.

She is just a pawn wife, and there are a lot of good-looking women outside, poor people can't see her, and people in his class have already felt nauseated, and good looks are no longer enough to attract his attention.

But just now I heard the words of persuasion to learn, which is actually not that great, but there are very few low-level women who can realize the importance of reading, and they have no chance to learn to read, let alone enlighten their wisdom. , Husband and children are the whole world.

And in his impression, the information showed that Chang's was illiterate.

Could Jiefu really change people so much?
Or I was blinded by a leaf before, and it was a wrong perception to only think of her as a beautiful vase.

After Chang Xi pointed out Zhang Yingda's goal in life, she didn't plan to worry about it anymore. Sometimes barbaric growth has its benefits. She doesn't have so much time to polish Zhang Yingda, so she can only let the society sharpen him.

Once the goal was achieved, she didn't intend to stay too long, so she asked Xiaotao to pay the bill.

We met face to face, drank tea, and ate cakes. Seeing this, Zhang Yingda knew it was time to say goodbye. He could only hope that when he came to see her three months later, he could read all the characters on "Hundred Family Surnames".

"I look forward to the time when you can surprise me again." Chang Xi encouraged.

Zhang Yingda nodded, and when he was about to say something, he saw an object falling not far away, just about to hit Chang Xi, he hurriedly exclaimed, "Be careful—" Wanting to push Chang Xi away, he block.

Chang Xi has always reacted very quickly. When she felt a foreign object falling from the sky, she turned around, reached out to catch it firmly, and then carefully looked at the object in her hand. It was a closed folding fan, and she immediately frowned. What is this number?
"My lady, I'm sorry, I accidentally dropped it just now, didn't it hit you?"

Someone stood on the second floor not far away and shouted at her.

She looked up, and what she saw was a striking and handsome man's face, about 25 or [-] years old. At this time, he was looking at her eagerly, and pointed to the folding fan in her hand.

Chang Xi raised his fan, "Your?"

"It's the next one." After the man smiled, he hurriedly walked down from the second floor. After a while, he arrived in front of Chang Xi and bowed to him, "My lady, I'm really sorry. , just because I slipped my hand for a moment and almost hit you."

The other party is very polite, and Chang Xi is not easy to get angry. After all, she stretched out her hand and didn't hit the smiling face. Besides, she felt the man's deliberately restrained aura when she approached, and she immediately had a judgment in her heart. This is not someone she can provoke for the time being. .

In order not to cause trouble, she returned the greeting with a smile, and handed him the folding fan, "My lord, don't slip your hands next time."

This way of chatting up a conversation is too old-fashioned.

There was a pun in the words, the man immediately smiled brightly after hearing the words, took the folding fan handed over by Chang Xi, he opened the fan with a "snap", and then introduced himself, "My surname is Yuan, this lady, I am polite in this room gone."
