pawn wife

Chapter 17 017: What I want the most is money making money
Xiaotao saw that someone without eyes came forward to bump into Mrs. Chang, and was still in front of the gate of Xie's house. She became very anxious, and she stepped forward to block the gaze of the half-grown boy from looking into the sedan chair, and said in a bad tone, "You What do you want to do?"

Dongli's reaction was a step slower than Xiaotao's, but she still stood firmly in front of Chang Xi, and supported Xiaotao with a serious face, "Our lady is going out, why don't you hurry up and avoid it? Do you want to go to the yamen to eat in prison?"

Nanny Luo was robbed of the role by these two people, and had no chance to perform, so she could only swipe aside, thinking that Nanny Zhong was right, this lady Chang really had a hand in controlling her, how could such a person get along well? not good?

Originally, she didn't dare to underestimate Chang Xi, but now she gave Chang Xi a halo, and she made up her mind that she must have a good relationship with Chang Xi.

The half-grown boy was stopped in this way, especially Xiaotao who stood in front of him was only a year or two older than him, he subconsciously took a few steps back, his face flushed instantly, and he murmured to himself, "I... I know She, I used to be her neighbor..."

Chang Xi hurriedly asked Xiao Tao to step aside, and looked at the blushing face of the half-grown boy with a smile on his face, "Xiao Tao, Dong Li, don't be nervous, I know this person."

"Miss Chang, do you really know him?" Xiao Tao still asked worriedly.

Chang Xi nodded, motioned for Nanny Luo to let the bearer go on, and then beckoned the half-grown boy to come forward, "Zhang Yingda, I remember you."

She immediately named the half-grown boy's name, which made Zhang Yingda secretly relieved, she really remembered herself.

He followed the sedan chair forward, not daring to look at Chang Xi's face, and Xiao Tao who was next to him kept staring at him vigilantly, which made him feel like he was on his back.

"You have been waiting for me at the gate of Jiefu?" Chang Xi asked when he saw that he was silent.

Zhang Yingda nodded quickly, then shook his head as if thinking of something, and then he was afraid that Chang Xi would misunderstand, he said, "I just come here occasionally to wait for a while." Try your luck and see if you can see her out of the house, "I You know, the pawn wife will not be allowed to leave the mansion casually."

His mother was like this. When he entered Master Lu's backyard, it was even more difficult for him and his sister to meet each other.

This boy's words are really not cute, Chang Xi replied bluntly, "Then why are you still waiting at the door?"

Zhang Yingda turned to look at her this time, and said with a serious face, "I came here to tell you that I will redeem the silver hairpin and return it to you when I make money in the future. Not only that, but I will also repay you..."

Just to say such a sentence?

Yes.

Chang Xi took a closer look at the figure of the half-grown boy, and saw that his complexion was a little better than when we saw him last time. It can be seen that after pawning the silver hairpin, he should have had enough to eat, but his figure seemed to be full. Some rickets, logically speaking, such a young man should not be like this.

She narrowed her eyes and looked up and down carefully, and soon found clues on his back.

"Then how do you make money?"

"I am now carrying big bags at the pier, earning 25 copper coins a day."

Zhang Yingda looked at Chang Xi very proudly. In the past, he was so hungry that he couldn't do this job at all, but now that he can fill his stomach, he can work with all his strength. In this way, the life of him and his sister is guaranteed.

Chang Xi saw the young man begging for praise, but she really couldn't praise him. Although the young man had a pure character and nothing to criticize, she really couldn't appreciate the way he worked so hard to make money.

Then, she poured a basin of cold water on it, "You can earn 25 copper coins a day by carrying a big bag. How much money can you save a day after eating? At this rate, you can redeem the silver hairpin for me in a year or two?"

Zhang Yingda became cold in an instant. This was the fastest way he could think of to make money, but she didn't like it.

"I, I can always save enough money..."

Seeing the young man's stiff mouth, Chang Xi continued mercilessly, "It's very likely that your body will collapse before you save enough money, haven't you noticed that you can't even straighten your waist? "

Although such half-grown teenagers can already be treated as adults in this era, but their bodies are developing under high-intensity labor, and the first thing they overdraw is their own health.

She is not interested in such a brainless child laborer.

She pulled the curtain on the sedan window, and said coldly, "Zhang Yingda, you go, I think you brothers and sisters are pitiful, the silver hairpin is for your brothers and sisters, you don't need to return it."

Zhang Yingda couldn't help feeling a little panicked by Chang Xi's suddenly cold attitude. He didn't know what he said wrong to make her unhappy?
Xiaotao saw Chang Xi's cold face and chased people away, so she looked at Zhang Yingda with a stern face, "Did you hear what our lady Chang said? Hurry up, or don't blame us for being rude."

Zhang Yingda gritted his teeth, and did not turn away in embarrassment. No matter what, Chang Xi was their brother and sister's benefactor, and he would always remember this kindness.

"I, did I do something wrong?"

It took a long time for Chang Xi to hear these anxious words. She suddenly opened the curtains of the car by a third, and saw that Xiao Tao was about to drive her away, so she stopped her voice and looked at Zhang Zhang Yingda blushed, "Let me ask you, who in this world is the easiest to make money?"

As soon as this question came out, not only Zhang Yingda was stunned, but even Nanny Luo and others who were eavesdropping were also stunned.

But everyone soon had an answer in their hearts, but they would not take the initiative to say it, but looked at Zhang Yingda, and even Xiaotao forgot to chase him away.

Zhang Yingda quickly replied, "Naturally a businessman."

Businessmen make money, it is really a huge profit.

Chang Xi smiled slightly. In fact, officials are the easiest to make money in this world. If you have power, you will have money.
However, she couldn't explain such a profound truth to the half-grown boy, and people without certain knowledge would not be able to see this level.

Seeing Chang Xi smile, Zhang Yingda thought he got the answer right, so his emotions rose again.

"Let's count you in," Chang Xi said.

Zhang Yingda was dissatisfied, "What do you mean I'm right? Go and see how much money those businessmen make every day?"

Instead of arguing with him, Chang Xi guided him to start thinking, "That's right, a businessman makes a lot of money every day, isn't it better than you earn 25 copper coins a day carrying a big bag?"

Zhang Yingda whispered again, "Business is not that easy, and I have no capital..."

Chang Xi was not disappointed with Zhang Yingda's answer. On the contrary, she was quite happy. The first thing this half-grown boy thought was that he had no capital, not that he was afraid of difficulties. None will be given to him.

"How much did you pawn the silver hairpin?"

"It's half a penny."

Chang Xi looked at Zhang Yingda with admiration this time. A half-money hanging was equivalent to one and a half taels of silver, and the silver hairpin was actually only worth about two or three taels of silver. It's a good price, and it's still a job, which shows that this half-year-old boy has potential.

Zhang Yingda felt that Chang Xi had seen through him at a glance, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment. When he bought the silver hairpin, he had exhausted all means to get the half-money from the pawnshop.

Chang Xi didn't ask about the process of pawning in detail, but said, "The business is big and small, and there are small ones. I think you have carried a lot of big bags for a long time, and you should have saved some money on hand." In the eyes of solution, she continued, "I will give you a month to use the money you have to earn enough money to redeem the silver hairpin. Then I will give you a start-up capital. Of course, if you fail, you I will make up for all the money you spend, um, just five taels of silver."

In any case, Zhang Yingda was able to make money, and he had no more than two taels of silver on hand.

He can understand this account, but he doesn't understand why Chang Xi did this?
Chang Xi thought that her 100 taels of silver was still lying still, every day she lay down, her heart would hurt for one more day, what she wanted most was money to make money, but she is not free now, so she can only find someone The agent went to give her money to make money.

Zhang Yingda, a half-year-old boy, has potential worth cultivating, that's why she paid a high price to hook his addiction to making money, and we'll see how he breaks the game later.

Just looking at the puzzled eyes of the half-grown boy, Chang Xi didn't give him an answer. After all, there were so many people on the street, she didn't want to say anything more, and there was a mother Luo who kept watching secretly.

"How? Do you dare to accept this challenge?"

"dare."

Inspired by Chang Xi, Zhang Yingda's fighting spirit immediately rose, and he understood the truth of seeking wealth in danger.

Only then did Chang Xi smile in satisfaction, "Don't say that I bully you, a half-grown child, let me give you a hint, if you want to make money, you only need four things: basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation, and you should weigh in your heart where you can start to make money .”

"I'm not a child anymore." Zhang Yingda protested.

Chang Xi said in a subdued tone, "In my eyes, you are still a child."

Zhang Yingda couldn't compete with Chang Xi, so he could only lower his head in protest.

It's just that Chang Xi's reminder is what he thinks the most at this time. No one has ever taught him this, but Chang Xi's words enlightened him, and his mind brightened instantly.

Chang Xi didn't urge him, but looked at the shops on the street, and saw the crowds of people inside and the pedestrians hurrying on the road, which shows that this era is still quite prosperous.

I don't know how much time passed, Zhang Yingda unconsciously followed Chang Xi's sedan chair for a long time, he was not very well dressed, and he was young, so many passers-by thought he was Chang Xi's servant.

When Zhang Yingda came back to his senses, he realized that Chang Xi's sedan chair was heading towards the street where they used to live. He frowned belatedly, "Are you going back to Xu's house? Why are you going back? The mother and son It's not a good thing." Seeing Chang Xi's half-smile face, he became agitated. He thought of Mrs. Zhao who had been stabbed more than a dozen times and died, and suddenly became furious. "You are going to the home of that godly woman surnamed Zhao. ?”
