Chen Yuan is planning to expand his wine shop and make it more stable, and then renovate the Yue Lai Inn to lay a solid foundation for himself.
Seeing Hua Hua and Hu Jing staring at him, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Diamond Flower's face turned red, and she said in a voice that only Chen Yuan could hear: "Tell me, is it okay to call Hu sister 'sister'?"
"She's older than you, of course she's called sister."
The lotus flower did not speak, but Hu Jing knew that Chen Yuanwan had not understood the meaning behind it, and she reached out to twist Chen Yuan's arm fiercely.
"Ah! What's going on!" Chen Yuan cried out in pain.
Hu Jing said viciously: "We are asking who will be in charge later, and who will be under whom!"
Chen Yuan listened to her straightforward explanation and immediately burst out laughing: "Haha, haha"
Huang Hua's face turned even redder, and Hu Jing was about to reach out and pinch him: "What are you smiling at?"
Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, this problem doesn't need to be considered."
"Brother Chen is right," said Hua Lian, "I think Brother Chen can arrange it well."
Hu Jing, however, had a different understanding: "Hmph, that's right, it seems like we don't need to say these things yet."
Chen Yuan shook his head and sat up with a smile: "You all misunderstood, actually this... there's no arrangement at all. The two young ladies, with beauty that can topple cities and states, taking a liking to me Chen Shimei, a poor scholar, is the luck of three lifetimes! If I don't spend my whole life repaying this kindness, may heaven strike me with five thunderbolts!"
Both of them were delighted by these words, and Hu Jing gently patted Chen Yuan: "Knowing is enough."
Chen Yuan's face was still smiling: "There is just a small problem that I haven't told you all, now I want to confess."
Saying that, he swept his gaze over the two blushing faces in front of him, and finally landed on Hu Jing: "It's agreed beforehand, no hitting people."
Hu Jing didn't think much, and quickly nodded twice. In her opinion, Chen Yuan's arrangement was nothing more than letting her play a minor role and letting Linghua take the lead, which wasn't a big deal at all.
Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment, as if it was hard to say. In the end, he made up his mind, after all, an ugly daughter-in-law would eventually meet her parents-in-law, and it's better to say it now than later! At least these two people haven't been pushed by him yet, and if they don't want to, there is still room for maneuver.
After making up his mind, Chen Yuan raised his head and said: "Actually, in my hometown, we have a sister named Qin Xianglian... Ah! I promised not to hit people! Ah oh!"
In the wine shop, Han Qi busily stuck his head out: "Where's the pig being killed?"
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the two scars on Chen Yuan's body that he got from his adventures in Jianghu have slowly healed. The grocery store next door has been successfully rented out, and the small wine shop has expanded to more than double its original size, becoming a very impressive little tavern.
Business is booming, and Master Pong's people haven't come looking for trouble again.
Bai Yutang obtained an official position higher than that of Zhan Zhao - a third-grade imperial guard with the privilege of wearing a sword in front of the emperor.
Zhan Zhao is of the fourth rank.
The reason is that Bai Yutang made a big show in the Wugong Hall! The other three old mice's stunning stunts only earned Emperor Renzong a good word, but Bai Yutang was different. He did more than 500 consecutive flips! Forward flip, backward flip, sideways flip, with countless variations!
These few moves were nothing in the eyes of those imperial guards, but Renzong was delighted. When there were over a hundred moves, Renzong stood up, cheering and clapping his hands. As soon as he stood up, even those who understood the situation didn't dare to say that Bai Yutang wasn't good.
Everyone accompanied Renzong to applaud Bai Yutang, and the momentum was similar to a group of people on the street surrounding a performer.
After Bai Yutang finished playing, Renzong laughed: "Good! Indeed formidable! More formidable than the imperial cat!"
In this way, Bai Yutang was one official rank higher than Zhan Zhao.
There was also Yan Chasan, who took the imperial examination and topped the list, becoming a zhuangyuan!
This made Chen Yuan somewhat perplexed, as there was only one top scholar, and Yan Cha had already taken the title of top scholar. Then where did Chen Shi Mei's title come from? Was it for the next term?
After becoming the champion, Yan Chasan was taken in by Bao Zheng as his disciple and started his political career. His wedding with Liu Jinchun will also be held as scheduled, and the invitation card was personally delivered by Yan Chasan.
Chen Yuan is very busy now, after the college entrance examination, the renovation of Yuelai Inn also started.
The counter in front of the door was smashed by Chen Yuan, and at a slightly lateral position, that is, where it connects to his own wine shop, the wall was also knocked through by Chen Yuan. Although the wine shop was still a wine shop and the inn was still an inn, but at first glance, it made people feel much more spacious than before.
Yang Zhang finally understood what Chen Yuan meant by "oppressive feeling". Now entering this inn, the first impression is that it's spacious.
This is just a phase of renovation project. If you want to reach the five-star standard required by Chen Yuan, at least 7,000 taels of silver will be needed.
"Seven thousand taels!" This number really startled Innkeeper Yang, who thought to himself, If there were really seven thousand taels of silver, would I still need to run this inn?
Chen Yuan looked at Yang Zhuang's shocked expression and naturally understood what he was thinking. Yang Zhuang was a businessman, but his ideas were not the same as Chen Yuan's.
Yang's idea is: doing business for making money. Chen's principle is: making money is just for doing business.
Those scholars who originally lived in the store have slowly left the inn and returned home one after another. Wu Zhou's luggage is also packed, and he is bidding farewell to Chen Yuan: "Shi Mei, are you really not going back?"
When he came, there was a companion, but when he returned, he was alone, and it was somewhat disappointing. However, the imperial list had eighty names on it, and Wu Zhou ranked seventy-eighth, obtaining the position of Tuntian Lang, a small official, so it wasn't a completely wasted trip.
Chen Yuan took out the letter he had written: "Hehe, I'm troubling Lord Wu to deliver this family letter for me, it's really a bit embarrassing."
Wu Zhou wrinkled his nose, which was originally flat: "Don't laugh at me, okay?"
Chen Yuan knew he was a straightforward person, so he stopped joking and took out ten taels of silver, along with the family letter, and stuffed them into Wu Zhou's bosom: "I'm troubling you, Brother Wu. Please pass on a message to my parents for me. Tell them that I don't have a fixed residence yet, so I won't be able to go pick them up right away. Once I buy a house in Bianjing City, I'll go get them and they can come enjoy the good life too. Also, tell my younger sister to take care of our elderly parents well. Within a year, I will definitely go back."
Wu Zhou nodded: "Don't worry, I'll definitely bring back the message. Take this money back, how can I accept your silver?"
"Cut the act, I know you don't have much silver on you either. This time when we go back, it's considered a glorious return home, let's buy some good clothes!"
Wu Zhou felt a bit embarrassed, but he also stopped declining: "In that case, thank you, Brother Chen."
Wu Zhou took the silver given by Chen Yuan, put away Chen Yuan's family letter, and then left Yue Lai Inn.
