Chapter 138

It took Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi more than half a month to get to Lin town.

After entering the site of Lin Town, they did not go back to the village directly, but found an inn in the town to stay.

Chen Xiaocai's house in the countryside has been sold for a long time, but Shen Chi's house is still there. However, having not lived for so many years, it should be very messy and can't live for a while.

Shen Chi has been hanging out with Chen Xiaocai all these years. Sometimes, when he is very tired, Shen Chi will think of his days in the village.

For Chen Xiaocai, the days in the village are not so good. In fact, Shen Chi is similar. Shen Chi's parents died early, and his relatives and friends were afraid that he would come to borrow money and things, so they didn't have much to do with each other.

However, Shen Chi is a little better than Chen Xiaocai. Before she was alive, she had a few familiar people in the village, and she was helped by others when life was really difficult.

Sometimes when Shen Chi thought about his childhood, he would think about coming back when he had time. However, when he really came back, Shen Chi felt at a loss.

"Lin Town hasn't changed much in recent years." Shen chidao.

In Shen Chi's impression, Lin town should be more prosperous than Sha county. When Shen Chi followed Chen Xiaolai to Sha county, Shen Chi felt that Sha county was not as prosperous as Lin town. For a while, he was not used to it. However, Sha county has developed rapidly in recent years.

Many villagers are rich, looking at a thriving state, in contrast, Lin town is mediocre.

Chen Xiaocai shouldered the task and said, "it should be because the development of Shaxian County is too fast. Brother Lin still has some skills."

In contrast, the county magistrate of Linzhen is much more incompetent. After so many years, there has been no change at all. However, as long as the general county magistrate does not collect exorbitant taxes, he can already be regarded as a good official.

Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "yes!"

"Mr. Chen er." When Yang Hengzhi saw Chen Xiaocai, he warmly welcomed him. "The servants of my family said they saw Mr. Chen er. I thought he was wrong. I didn't expect it was true."

"It's boss Yang. Long time no see." Chen Xiaocai bows to Yang Hengzhi.

"Long time no see. Chen Shaodong's family is looking more energetic." Yang Hengzhi thought to himself that a few years ago Chen Xiaocai was a big man who could take charge of his own affairs. A few years later, he seems to have matured a lot.

"Boss Yang, I'm flattered."

"I didn't win a prize. I heard that my young master went to Kyoto two years ago to do a job?" Yang Hengzhi asked.

Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "yes, I have. I haven't made much money."

It's just more than 1000 taels. Later, after he came back, Ji yun'an seemed to have revised the story several times and printed it several times. Chen Xiaocai received more than 1000 taels of silver dividends entrusted by Ji yun'an to Ji Chengkang, which Chen Xiaocai didn't publicize.

Yang Dongzhi is too modest

The news from butcher Zhang said that Chen Xiaocai had made several hundred taels of silver in less than two months after he went to Kyoto. Silver was second. Chen Xiaocai also got involved with people from the military headquarters in Kyoto.

"I heard that boss Lu is now working as a county magistrate at the border. He has done a good job and has been praised by the emperor."

Chen Xiaocai smiles and says, "brother Lin, the name of a county magistrate is very nice. Sha county is very poor. There is no money to pay for it."

Lu Lin has just been a magistrate of Shaxian County, and he has paid a lot of money. However, in recent years, Shaxian County has developed very well. Many people are attracted to Shaxian County to experience its delicious food and make a lot of money.

Yang Hengzhi laughed and said, "if you can take the seat of magistrate in Sha county, Lord Lu is really not an ordinary person!" The county magistrate of Shaxian County has always been in a bad way, and several of them died.

At that time, when Lu Lin chose to buy an official, Yang Hengzhi didn't approve of it. In fact, it was a bit sour. It was not easy to be an official in Shaxian County, but he was also an official. When he became an official, he was different from the common people.

Yang Hengzhi did not expect that Lu Lin was doing a good job. It is said that Lu Lin had a very good relationship with the local snake patrolling and defending Kan in Sha county. Some time ago, a prince went to Sha county.

Lord! What a wonderful existence! Yang Hengzhi didn't expect that Lu Lin, a small official, had the chance to meet such a big man.

"Boss Yang's business is getting bigger and bigger. I think several shops in Lin town have changed their surnames!" Chen Xiaocai complimented Yang Hengzhi with a smile and said, "it's also a blessing for Lord Lu."

Lu Lin was cheated by a county magistrate at that time. After that, he transferred his business to him, and the business also made him a lot of money.

Yang Hengzhi just took over the business, it is not very smooth, Lin county magistrate seems to be crazy about money, he took over Lu Lin's shop, the guy wants to pit the object transferred to his head, several times to find his trouble.

At one time, Yang Hengzhi also regretted that he was greedy and took Lu Lin's shop at a low price. However, it wasn't long before the magistrate was jailed. After that, he was much more successful.

The new magistrate is much more low-key than his predecessor.Yang Hengzhi looks at Chen Xiaocai and thinks that Chen Xiaocai seems to have a lot of style. Before Lu Lin bought an official, he was just a merchant. Now he is a county magistrate, and he has made friends with the people above. He is not a helpless person.

"How is Lord Lu?"

Chen wheat nodded and said, "brother Lin, he's fine."

Chen wheat thought to himself: Lu Lin is really good. This guy always has a lot of ideas. However, he spends money to hire others to do it. All he has to do is talk. Compared with his hard work, Lu Lin is really leisurely.

"Actually, Lord Lu is very prescient! In the past two years, the upper authorities have abolished the system of buying officials. Now they can't buy officials. " Yang Hengzhi sighed.

In the year when Lu Lin bought an official, several vacant positions were put forward. However, those positions were not very good. At that time, although many rich people were interested in them, they hesitated because the price was too high. Some people thought they could wait. But this time, nothing happened.

After all, Lu Lin had a lot of courage when he could buy an official position with a quick decision.

Chen Xiaocai shrugged his shoulders and said, "although the name of the county magistrate sounds good, it was really not so good when it just passed."

The roofs of the county government are leaky. Fortunately, they still have money. Otherwise, they will have to build dilapidated houses. Recently, they can make do with it.

"It's said that Sha county has been well managed by Lord Lu recently." The way of Yang Heng.

Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "it's OK."

Chen Xiaocai's popularity in the village is not very good, but in the town is still good. Knowing that Chen Xiaocai has come back, several members of the town joined hands to hold a reception for Chen Xiaocai.

Many people in this town know that Lu Lin went out to be an official.

At that time, Lu Lin was only a businessman, but now he is an official. Chen Xiaocai's identity has gone up with Lu Lin.

Many members of the staff said that they wanted to meet Chen Xiaocai. In fact, they wanted to get close to Chen Xiaocai.

Lu Chengyu and a classmate walk past the door of Hongyun restaurant, just in time to see the banquet in it.

"What's the matter? It seems very lively!" Lu Chengyu road.

Sun Hu took a look at Lu Chengyu and said, "a councillor came back to visit his relatives, so the boss of our town is taking care of him."

Lu Chengyu asked curiously, "which one is it?"

Sun Hu's face was strange and said, "it's the shop that used to sell dolls. Later, it's the one who sold the shop and went to be an official. You know, it has a lot to do with you!"

Lu Chengyu's face was stiff. "Do you say my cousin Lu Lin?"

Lu Chengyu frowns. Lu Lin is already an official. Can he leave without permission?

"It's not Lu Lin, it's like his brother-in-law."

"Not Lu Lin!" Lu Chengyu suddenly felt relieved. Although she didn't want to admit it, she didn't want to see Lu Lin.

In the past two years, Lu Chengyu went to take the Jinshi examination once, and spent a lot of money. Unfortunately, she failed.

In that examination, Lu Chengyu saw the difficulty of the entrance examination. Candidates from all over the country gathered together, and many of them were outstanding. Many of them were people with beautiful articles and gullies. It was very difficult to stand out from these people.

In contrast, it is much easier for Lu Lin to buy an official just by spending money.

Two years ago, after the emperor's commendation order was worn back, the villagers talked about Lu Lin with great admiration. Every time they heard the villagers talk about Lu Lin, Lu Chengyu felt very sad.

In the past two years, the situation at home has not improved. The old man died two years ago.

Although the old lady still likes to make trouble, she is not as confident as before because of her old age and the old man's absence. Recently, she doesn't go to the village to make trouble. She just tells her what to do at home.

Standing at the door, Lu Chengyu sees some big people in Beilin Town, Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi in the middle.

The crowd gathered around Chen Xiaocai to persuade him to drink. Chen Xiaocai was busy dealing with the people who encouraged him to drink, but he didn't notice the people at the door.

Shen Chi vaguely perceives Lu Chengyu's eyes and looks towards the door. Lu Chengyu immediately walks away.

Sun Hu looked at Lu Chengyu's face and said, "I said, your cousin is cold enough. He is an official, and he doesn't know how to lead you."

Lu Chengyu's face was strained and he didn't speak. Even if Lu Lin was different now, Lu Chengyu still couldn't bear to rely on Lu Lin.

"I don't know what Chen Xiaocai came back for?" Lu Chengyu doesn't understand. Chen Xiaocai and Chen Xiaomi are the same thing. They don't make too much money. They should share it with Chen's family.

Lu Yuan thinks that Chen Xiucai can be flattered by other people, but he feels that he is not short of manners.
