Chapter 639 Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate (Third Change)

Qinghe County governs Qinghe County.

The sky is getting brighter.The shopkeepers yawned, got up from the shop, took out the keys and prepared to open the door.

The drum sounded again, and the cooking smoke was lit in the square, and the people began to burn pots and cook.It was the start of another uneventful day.

Sun Chu made an appointment early in the morning, filled a basin with rice washing water, combed his hair well, tied it up in a bun, and wrapped a scarf around it.At this time, the house he had lived in for many years had been dependent on his mother since he was a child. The light in the house was dim, and it was located in a low-lying part of the city, which was prone to flooding in the rainy season.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Sun Chuyue hurriedly put on his shabby Confucian shirt, went outside and opened the door.

It was my uncle who opened the door.When the uncle saw Sun Chuyue, he frowned and said, "Why are you wearing a long gown? Didn't you mean to help me in my shop today? Are you wearing a long gown like a worker?"

Sun Chuyue said to his uncle respectfully: "I heard from my mother that going to help my uncle's shop is a matter of copying and writing, so I didn't wear a jacket."

The uncle was very unhappy when he heard this, and said: "You have been studying for the past few years, and you have lost your mind. What autumn exams did you take, and you didn't make any progress. Although uncle is short of someone who copies the accounts, there are not many people in the shop. Occasionally Even my uncle has to go down to help carry rice and salt, why are you still sitting there motionless and supplying you?"

Sun Chuyue lowered his head and said, "What uncle taught me is that I'll go back and change into a coat."

Sun Chuyue obeyed the orders and walked into the house, but his uncle still refused to let go and said: "My sister is destined to marry your dead and loyal father. Your father stretched his legs and left without giving your family any property. In the past few years, my sister has eaten small meals every day, and I have eaten pork a few times in more than ten years. Helping you, who else can I help?"

At this time Sun Chuyue had already walked outside the house and said: "What uncle said is true."

"Let's go, don't waste your time."

The two just walked to the door, but they met Sun Chu's friend Zhang Wenguan, and Lai Ji happened to run into each other.Lai Ji said: "Brother Sun, where are you going? Today is just the autumn test release. I made an appointment with Brother Zhang and invited you to watch the list."

Sun Chuyue said: "I don't remember that. Uncle, can I go and look at the list before I come to help in the shop."

After hearing this, the uncle rolled his eyes and said: "As long as you still look at the rankings, those who rank first are all stars of Wenqu. Your grandson's family has spent eight lives in the fields. If you want to win the rank, I would have persuaded you if you knew it back then." Your mother, don't let you study anymore, you have spent years of money in the water for nothing. Huh, you can still hear it when you throw it into the water. You are good at learning the truth, but you make me worry all day long. You are going to watch the list today, so don't even think about coming to my shop in the future."

Hearing the other party's stern remarks against Sun Chuyue and coming to help, Zhang Wenguan was very unhappy, but seeing that the other party was a good friend and senior, he did not refute.

Sun Chuyue smiled wryly, and then said to his two friends: "Anyway, I'm easily nervous, and it's inevitable that I will worry about gains and losses when I read the rankings. If you read it and tell me, I won't go."

Lai Ji said dissatisfied, "Why are you so obedient?"

Sun Chuyue smiled and said: "Thunder in the sky, uncle in the ground. I want to listen to uncle's words."

"Okay. We have good news, and we will come to see you immediately." Zhang Wenguan was very considerate of his friend's difficulties, and the three of them bid farewell immediately.

Now Sun Chuyue came to his grain and rice shop with his uncle.This grain and rice shop belonged to Cui's family in Qinghe, and his uncle was there, and he was just a small steward. There were twenty or thirty such grain and rice shops in Qinghe County, and Cui's family had no less than 30 people in charge.But for my uncle, the Cui family's stewardship is very remarkable.

The uncle said to Sun Chuyue: "Work with peace of mind, keep your feet on the ground, and don't think about those things that can reach the sky in one step. Although you are here to manage the accounts, you are much better than those who work hard. After a few years, you can survive Mr. Accountant, you can get half a catty of meat every month. Isn’t it much better than now? If you are able to do things well and get the appreciation of the boss, and promote you to be a steward, just like your uncle, then it will be a risk on the grave of your grandson’s ancestors. It's green smoke. I have worked hard to cultivate you, but you can't know what's good and what's wrong, and have high eyes and low hands."

After hearing this, Sun Chuyue said again and again: "Thank you uncle for cultivating."

Sun Chu sat around for half the morning, seeing Lai Ji, Zhang Wenguan didn't come, thinking that he really might fail the autumn exam this time.Sun Chuyue was secretly a little sad, but he didn't show it.

A carriage rumbled to the front of the store, and the people inside shouted, "Is Mr. Liu there?"

After hearing this, Uncle Sun Chuyue immediately rushed up and said courteously, "Oh, isn't this the fifth young master's carriage? Why are you so free today?"

The servant on the carriage scolded: "What are you talking about? Can the fifth young master not enter the city? He is here to see the list today."

After hearing this, the uncle hurriedly said: "Oh, the Fifth Young Master is a descendant of the stars. Back then, I saw the celestial phenomenon of the bullfighting to the top. Later, the Fifth Young Master was born. My old Liu understands that the Fifth Young Master must not be an ordinary person. This time it must be easy. what."

The curtain of the car was opened, and the fifth young master jumped out of the carriage and took a look: "Daddy Liu, if you can't speak, don't say it. I've never heard of bullfighting. I can't flatter you."

The uncle smiled and said, "I was talking nonsense, a rough person can't speak."

"Why does this person have such a face?"

Liu Dayao hastily pulled Sun Chuyue over and said: "This is my nephew, who came to the shop to copy the accounts. Hurry up, I have seen the fifth young master. The fifth young master has [-]% of the dry shares in this shop. Hurry up and call him the boss."

"Master." Sun Chuyue said seriously.

"Oh, I remember, it's the son of the widow grandson in the south of the city. I heard that you are very studious," the fifth young master said indifferently, "I'm a good talker, so I just call the shop a name. Your uncle is usually there Take care of it for me, you should learn from your uncle and work hard, I will be rewarded for my merits, and I will not treat you badly at the end of the year."

"Our boss is the most generous, why don't you thank me soon." The uncle urged from the side, afraid that Sun Chuyue would not know how to be polite.

"Thank you, Master." Sun Chuyue lowered his head.

"Master, I heard that this fellow grandson has also studied in the county school, and this time he also participated in the county examination." The servant on the side said to the fifth young master.

"Really?" The fifth young master suddenly became interested.

"Yes, Master." Sun Chuyue replied truthfully.

The fifth young master laughed and said: "This autumn test is not a random test, it's okay, but it also has this ambition. Every year, there are two or three children from poor families who leap to the dragon's gate, but it will not be you. People are still honest. It’s good to be down-to-earth.”

Sun Chuyue didn't speak after hearing this, the servant beside him said unhappily: "The young master is talking to you, why don't you answer quickly."
