    "Isn't it, brother?" He Lin rushed back from the outside, and saw Jiang Baiye pulling the carriage, his face was still a little tense, "Where are you going?"

    Jiang Baiye was not in a very good mood this time, and he didn't want to talk to him when he saw him.

    "I know even if you don't tell me, you don't want to go to the government school, do you?" He Lin exclaimed again, "Brother, you two just separated yesterday!"

    "It's only been a day!" He said in a hellish tone.

    Jiang Baiye stopped and corrected, "To be exact, it's been a day and a half."

    He hadn't seen Li Zhi for a day and a half, no wonder he felt that these two days were like years, every minute and every second was very long.

    He Lin still couldn't understand, when his parents were the stickiest, the whole family said they had had enough of them, but it wasn't like that?

    "Do you have something important to tell him? It's not convenient to meet him now, why don't you wait two days for those big cloaks and down jackets to be ready and send them to him together?"

    Jiang Baiye paused as he was about to get into the carriage, "Did the tailor say it will be ready in two days?"

    He Lin rubbed his nose, "It's about the same. You can't afford to wait for one or two more days, right?"

    Really unable to wait, Jiang Baiye continued to get in the car.

    "Hey, wait, let me tell you the truth. According to my many years of experience, only a proper distance can produce beauty. If you catch up so quickly, with Li Zhi's cold temper, you may not like it, and it will delay his studies."

    Jiang Baiye had already straddled the car with one foot.

    He Lin sighed with emotion at his mighty posture, "It's good to be tall and have long legs."

    Jiang Baiye looked him up and down, very suspicious, "Where did you get your experience?"

    "After so many years of observation, don't you think that my parents, uncles and aunts are all loving and sweet, and there is not even a single concubine in the family."

    "Expand and talk about it." Jiang Baiye was stabbed in the heart, he has always acted on instinct, and has never used his brains.

    This touched He Lin's blind spot, "Anyway, it's not like you, we still have to give each other some space. If Li Zhi knows that you are not doing anything serious and misses him all day, there will definitely be pressure."

    Jiang Baiye felt that what he said made sense. Although He Lin himself was not clear about it, it was an eternal truth that was clear to the bystanders.

    He gripped his horsewhip sadly, "Then I'll go find him tomorrow."

    He Lin was almost in a mess in the wind, dare you say that you realized this after a long time?

    Jiang Baiye continued to live like a year for the next day. Lu Lizhi was in the academy, and the incident about the suitcase last night spread to the class. Even students from other classes came to him curiously. After asking, they immediately started to move.

    When there were too many people, there was confusion. Mr. Yi came over, and while driving the others away, he immediately punished each of them to write poems silently a hundred times.

    Lu Lizhi, the person involved, was restricted in his freedom, and even his request to change dormitories was rejected. Originally, he wanted to bribe the concierge to help him pass a message to Jiang Baiye outside, about the suitcase.

    The concierge laughed bitterly, "Student Lu, hurry up and go back to your studies. If Yi Jiaoyu finds out, I'll be out of luck!"

    Professor Huang didn't care about things and handed over the power to Mr. Yi. Mr. Yi was extremely strict, and all the students were afraid of him.

    However, Lu Lizhi felt a little troublesome. He thought of Mr. Yi. It is said that Master Yi is a filial son, but there is still more than a month before his vacation, and it will be the end of the new year.

    On the second day, he began to feel uneasy.

    That night, Song Haocheng discovered that Yu Zhijie had tampered with Lu Lizhi's quilt again. Although Lu Lizhi had been reading last night and didn't even touch the edge of the bed, this is not a long-term solution.

    "Brother Yu, where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them." Song Haocheng tapped on the corner of Yu Zhijie's desk.

    Yu Zhijie's face darkened, did he do what happened last night?Song Haocheng?He still has this side?He is not related to Lu Lizhi, so why did he help him when he came!

    However, on the second night, Lu Lizhi didn't go back to the dormitory directly, and Song Haocheng couldn't help feeling worried.

    It was windy and snowy outside, and it was bone-chillingly cold. He waited for a long time, and seeing Yu Zhijie, he also wondered if it was his hands and feet.

    At the third watch, before Lu Lizhi came back, Song Haocheng got up from the warm quilt, put on his clothes in a hurry, and went out.

    In the end, I found Lu Lizhi who was looking up books in the library, and was surprised to see that he was all right, "Can I come here to read books in the middle of the night?"

    Naturally not, Lu Lizhi spent a lot of money to bribe the people here, but why did Song Haocheng come here?

    "I'm afraid you have something to do..." Song Haocheng told him about Yu Zhijie pouring ice water and snake skin on his quilt.

    Lu Lizhi didn't expect him to help secretly, and happened to see a page, and pointed to the word "thank you".

    Song Haocheng suddenly became excited, Mr. Qingyuan talked to me!

    He was about to say "It's easy to do with little effort", but when the words reached his mouth, he sank back, but chose to pick up a book from the bookshelf, and also pointed out a line of words.

    - no thanks

    I turned a few more pages.

    ——Not worth mentioning

    Obviously, he was familiar with this book, so he quickly found the place. Lu Lizhi's eyes lit up slightly, because he was about to read this book.

    And he has read a lot of books, not only the serious Four Books and Five Classics, but also many books that are superfluous in the eyes of the teacher, but they are very useful to him.

    Otherwise, as a scholar who stays at home, it is difficult for him to know the scenery and humanities of the outside world, so how can he write several unforgettable characters who grew up in different backgrounds?

    This is why many literati and scholars want to study abroad.

    Appreciating the mountains and rivers, expanding your horizons, gaining fame, especially making friends and contacts, will also be very beneficial for you to enter an official career in the future.

    Next, the two used the books they had read to communicate, and it became smoother and more comfortable, as if they were having a normal conversation with people. There were corresponding words in the books, which could vividly express what they wanted to say.

    What's even more amazing is that the two discovered that the other party had read many books that they had read!

    Their tastes are so similar, and the exchange of ideas is even more selfless.

    At first, Song Haocheng was a little nervous, but in the book, he seemed to see another Lu Lizhi, another Lord Qingyuan.

    different from what others see.

    Lively and cute.

    Full of desire to express and unique insights, not aloof at all.

    It's just that it was very late, and Song Haocheng was a little worried about Lu Lizhi. He didn't sleep last night, and if he continued like this, his body might not be able to hold on.

    "Aren't you going back to rest?"

    Lu Lizhi shook his head. He originally wanted to read books here and lie down until dawn. When Professor Huang came back, he could apply for a single dormitory.

    Song Haocheng is inconvenient here.

    There was a heater in Zangshu Pavilion, so it wasn't too cold, but Lu Lizhi was really sleepy. Thinking of Jiang Baiye's hot body, he suddenly realized that he was not around, no matter how comfortable a place was, he couldn't sleep peacefully.

    "Then let me accompany you. The master said that we have received so much education, but we still failed you in the exam. There must be some problems with him. That's why he is so fierce, but he is very good."

    Lu Lizhi has nothing to say, is he shooting himself in the foot with a stone? He did well in the exam and failed to be punished by Yi Jiaoyu to clean the toilet, so he was especially harsh on him?

    The two of them read the book quietly, the snowflakes drifted silently, falling silently, and the night was getting darker and darker.

    At the back, Lu Lizhi fell down on the desk unbearably.

    Song Haocheng, who was taking a nap, was startled immediately. Seeing him like this, he wanted to cover him with a quilt. Naturally, there is no such thing here. He thought of the plot in "Ask the Merry" he had seen, so he hurriedly took off his coat and put it on him.superior.

    But it was also "Ask the Merry Man" that reminded him suddenly of Qi Jiu and what he saw at the inn that day.

    Lu Lizhi likes men, and there is another person he likes, and that person is like Qi Jiu!

    Song Haocheng's fingers froze for a moment, not knowing what he was doing, such behavior would likely lead to misunderstanding...

    Finally, he found the person guarding the library and asked him to help build something, but he couldn't stand it any longer, so he hurried back to the dormitory to rest.

    Yu Zhijie has been paying attention to his and Lu Lizhi's movements, seeing that he didn't come back until this time, his eyes flickered in the darkness.

    He remembered that there seemed to be a very powerful man beside Lu Lizhi, the guy who kicked him last time...

    On the second day, some trivial remarks were secretly growing in the academy.

    Lu Lizhi likes men, and last night, he disappeared with Song Haocheng in the middle of the night. Combined with what Fei Hongyu said before, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he accepts this matter well, and he is inseparable from Song Haocheng...

    A complicated truth seems to be about to surface.

    Lu Lizhi didn't know anything about these things. Today, when he woke up, he felt extremely depressed, with a faint trace of grievance in his throat, which made his whole body cold.

    It was only the third day, without Jiang Baiye's voice, without his smile, his hug, his breath, the delicious meals he cooked, and everything he had by his side.

    Lu Lizhi never knew that he, who had suffered so much and endured so much loneliness, would become so hypocritical and squeamish.

    But he seems to be a little bit spoiled.

    Before dawn the next day, Jiang Baiye got up. Unluckily, the nightmare became even more terrifying, making him full of hostility, wishing he could just pack Li Zhi back and hide it from anyone to see!

    When he was ready to go out, he happened to bump into He Yun who was walking this way, and remembered something, "How is your inquiry about the Chong Prefecture land?"

    If there is no matter of looking for herbs, Jiang Baiye must have already done it.

    It was precisely for this that He Yun came to him, "I'm afraid there is something wrong, and it will be difficult to get it at a low price."

    "How to say?" Jiang Baiye valued this land very much, it was related to his next plan, so he stopped.

    "Someone has also taken a fancy to that land."

    Jiang Baiye was not surprised, the ancients were not stupid at all, and those who had foresight and foresight were not ordinary. In many cases, he just had the advantage of being a prophet.

    "And that person, because he often does this kind of buying and selling of houses and land, has doubled the price of everything he likes, which directly leads to Chong Prefecture's reluctance to sell easily, and wants to raise the price."

    "In addition, as foreigners, it is difficult for us to buy, unless we settle in Chong Prefecture, which is the rule there."

    Jiang Baiye knew that he said so, there must be other ways, otherwise He Yun would not have come to him.

    "Maybe we need to take care of the officials over there..." He Yun was not interested in these things at first, but after hearing Jiang Baiye's idea of "Nongjiale", he felt that it was very profitable, so he wanted to partner with Jiang Baiye to see if he could do itMake this business bigger.

    Because of this, He Yun is going to do some business over there. If Jiang Baiye just acts as the shopkeeper, it doesn't matter if he looks extremely irresponsible. If he knows that he rejected him because he was separated from Li Zhicai for two days, I'm afraidHe also questioned himself as a partner.

    In particular, this matter was initiated by Ben himself, and he didn't care about it. The He family is not his father, so they can always run errands for him without complaint or regret.

    Jiang Baiye is used to doing whatever he wants, but for the first time, he wants to suppress his instincts and desires.

    It's a little uncomfortable.

    But this is what an adult should do and take responsibility, and Li Zhi would not want to see his worthless side.

    Jiang Baiye took a deep breath, "Just right, I'm ready, let's go."

    He Yun was surprised, "There's no need to be in such a hurry."

    "Let's hurry up." He couldn't wait, he just wanted to make a quick decision.

    It's just that he didn't expect this quick battle to be fought in the brothel.

    Both Jiang Baiye and He Yun felt physically uncomfortable, but Xu Biao, who was sitting across from him, was even more uncomfortable. He wondered why he was this brat again!

    There is also this He family who runs a medical hall, wouldn't it be good to treat diseases and save people honestly, and do whatever you want to compete with them for business.

    People on both sides knew that the people from Chongzhou Mansion called them together, fearing that they wanted them to bid against each other. Although they didn't like each other, neither side wanted to win it at a high price.

    Xu Biao didn't think it was worth it, he just wanted to make the most money at the lowest price, otherwise it would be a loss-making business.

    But because he just had a grudge with Jiang Baiye, even if he had already thought about giving up when he came here, he must fight for it now!

    Without arguing, it would be good to raise the price and let this brat trade at a loss.

    Xu Biao clapped his hands with a smile, and immediately came out from behind the curtain several men and women wearing seductive light gauze and fragrant faces... men and women.

    He Yun's body stiffened, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, everyone could see his tension and discomfort.

    On the other hand, Jiang Baiye, who was next to him, still had a smile on his face, and occasionally looked at these people with great interest.

    Seeing this, Xu Biao definitely didn't want to take advantage of these high-priced girls, this brat, but picked one instead, "Go and accompany Young Master He, he seems to need your help very much."

    He Yun, "..." He clearly expressed his resistance!

    The county magistrate and the county magistrate who were present couldn't wait to reach out and pull one person to sit on his lap and feed him with his mouth.

    It is easiest to succeed in talking about things at this time, if you ignore those high and low voices.

    He Yun endured the discomfort, pushed the woman who was sticking to him away, and sneezed due to the strong fragrance wind, this reaction amused several people at the table, before he could make a joke of him, Jiang Baiye sneezedAfter getting up from the wine, he said a funny joke.

    It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

    Now not only those few officials were captured, but even the prostitutes who were trying to show off unconsciously stopped and listened to him.

    After Jiang Baiye finished speaking, everyone at the table laughed, what's more, they laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.

    "Oh, that's interesting, the coke is killing me!" The magistrate of Nanyuan County couldn't stop laughing, he slapped the table, making the bowls, plates and wine glasses rattle.

    Xu Biao couldn't laugh, but he still kept smiling, so as not to upset the adults.

    Jiang Baiye didn't smile either, but leaned slightly on the back of the chair and looked at the others indifferently.

    As a joker, it's normal for him not to laugh, and no one will blame him, just ask him to say a few more.

    "Let's talk about this piece of land first." Invisibly, he took hold of the words on the field, and many people didn't realize that something was wrong, and they still thought about his jokes in their hearts, hoping that he would say it laterA fun one like this.

    Telling others about it in the future will definitely make everyone laugh out loud!

    An hour later, Jiang Baiye successfully escaped with He Yun, and several officials were still hanging around in the brothel, their spirits were happy, how could their bodies not enjoy it.

    Fortunately, the two of them didn't take down that piece of land, but they got the qualification to buy the land, and they didn't need to move their household registration here to buy it.

    "Eating, drinking, and having fun will not affect their business affairs!" He Yun cursed, and swallowed a hangover pill. There was still some fun in the wine, which made him feel hot all over, but fortunately, he was prepared.

    "Here's one for you."

    "I didn't drink." Don't look at Jiang Baiye who drank a lot with others, but in fact he didn't drink a drop. They still thought he was not drunk after a thousand glasses, but in fact they were all distracted by his interruption.Just blindfolded.

    How dare Jiang Baiye drink the wine here, his wife will be gone if he is not careful.

    He Yun was very impressed, "It seems that you are very suitable for negotiating business with people. I am not as good as Ah Lin in this regard. If it weren't for you just now, I would have been embarrassed!"

    Naturally, He Yun also has things that He Yun is good at, but Jiang Baiye knew that he had to come this time, for example, next time.

    "I want to come up with a plan to use that land and increase my leverage."

    He Yun doesn't quite understand, but this is the same as modern project bidding, writing a bidding letter to let those people see the benefits.

    "But in that case, wouldn't these people be more willing to sit on the ground and raise prices when they see that it is profitable?"

    "So, this thing is not for them to see." Jiang Baiye will definitely not disclose the core content, leaking commercial secrets, just want to have an excuse and interesting points to get close to certain people, such as the county magistrateon the peak.

    And Wailang, an old member of the Dushui Department who should still be compiling books in Chongzhou Prefecture.

    Otherwise, even if this land can be won at a low price this time, it would be a shame to have to deal with those people in the future.

    "Well, you go back to the inn first, I'll walk back and think about it." Jiang Baiye said to He Yun.

    "The road is not far away, let me go with you." He Yun was not in a hurry to go back, just in time to let off the smell of alcohol.

    Unexpectedly, Jiang Baiye said abnormally: "You are next to me, I can't figure it out."

    He Yun took another look at him, knowing that he didn't want him to follow, so he nodded and left, but he was a little curious in his heart, wondering why Jiang Baiye was going.

    Jiang Baiye returned the same way and entered the brothel again.

    A group of pretty girls who were greeted at the ground floor immediately came up to meet them.

    Jiang Baiye learned from his wife not to be close to strangers, he only learned 20-30% of it, but the effect is very significant.

    He was taught to look fierce.

    The women were trembling immediately, not daring to get close, but a bustard came forward with a smile on her face, "Mr. Jiang, why are you back again?"

    With this appearance, it doesn't look like they are here to play, but they are here to demolish their brothel!

    "You guys also have men here?" Jiang Baiye thought about it.

    The bustard immediately understood what he meant, and smiled softly, "Master Jiang is interested in those young ladies, we have quite a few here, especially the Huakui Meng'er, who is so ecstatic around the waist..."

    Jiang Baiye interrupted her chattering recommendation, "I just want to know..." He coughed lightly, "How do the two men do things?"

    A lot of people came here for this job, commonly known as curiosity hunting. The bustard seemed to have seen a lot, and smiled even more attentively, "How about I ask Qingmei, who is most familiar with this job, to take you to experience the joy of it?"

    Jiang Baiye's face darkened, and he cut straight to the point, "You should have books and tools here to teach young children how to develop, right?"

    The old bustard was taken aback, "Young Master Jiang is referring to... we all observe directly and teach ourselves..."

    Jiang Baiye suddenly felt that he really had a brain twitch, that's why he wanted to come here to learn techniques.

    He hadn't thought about what to do next before, and now he felt that Li Zhi should be mentally prepared.

    He wondered if it was possible to understand some procedures in advance, so as not to be in a hurry and leave a bad impression on Li Zhi.

    Fortunately, the bustard finally understood what he meant, sold him some gadgets, and took out some exquisite picture albums, "This is the detailed process, Mr. Bao Jiang, you will know it immediately after reading it!"

    Jiang Baiye turned around and left with his things in hand, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.

    Some men and women who were secretly observing behind him looked at his tall and straight back with some regret, wondering who he was going to develop for.

    When Jiang Baiye casually flipped through a booklet on the street, his ears turned red.

    In comparison, the book that Li Zhi withheld and didn't return to him that he bought from Shopkeeper Ning before was simply a child's play!

    These few books are not only painted hardcover, but also every detail and expression are lifelike, as if they were performed by real people.

    Jiang Baiye closed it with a slap, feeling a surge of impatience in his heart.

    As long as he and Li Zhi are substituting for a little bit, it is already unbearable...

    The following things went smoothly. The "Nongjiale" project successfully attracted the attention of the above. When it was shown to the old man Wai Lang, the old man Wai Lang immediately knew whose handwriting it was.

    So Jiang Baiye bought the 300-acre piece of land with ease, and because he was successful in digging canals, it was much cheaper.

    Originally, Xu Biao wanted to win it with more than one thousand taels, but he felt that he had made a lot of money.

    Jiang Baiye bought it for only 500 taels, which was many times cheaper than the 5,000 taels charged by those Nanyuan county officials.

    Most importantly, knowing that there was someone behind him, he didn't dare to make fun of him anymore, and just wanted to hide and leave.

    It had been seven or eight days since Jiang Baiye returned to Fucheng, he just felt like returning home, and even felt that the carriage was a burden, so he rode away directly.

    He Yun, who had also become a burden, came to Jiang Baiye, planning to discuss with him what to do with Zhuangzi next.

    Five hundred taels of money to buy the land is nothing, it was paid by Jiang Baiye himself, and it is also his private property, mainly for the farmhouse in the back.

    However, only Jiang Baiye's carriage was waiting for him, which was left in place naked, but the horse was gone.

    He Yun was at a loss for a while, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
