Nightfall Chapter 125: How can the poor become rich?

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Five How Can the Poor Be Rich?

Looking at the Wenqi in his hand, thinking that the man in the blue shirt had quietly left a gambling shop for himself, Ning Que was shocked, and felt a strange warmth in his chest, and asked: "Where is he now? ?"

"When he received his last letter, he said he would go to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise." Qi Siye replied.

The warmth and shock gradually subsided. Ning Que thought about Qi Si's mocking remarks, and thought that he cheated and scammed money into his own gambling shop, and his cheeks felt a little hot. After all, he was a young man, how could he bear it? In order to resolve the embarrassment, he said with shame, "No one in the Yulong Gang has notified me of this."

Qi Siye raised his eyebrows, glared at him and said angrily: "The eldest brother took a few of us to Lin 47 Lane to meet you before he left. He said at the time that if you have anything, you can You can come to me. It's been a few months. When did you find me? You have that identity on your body now. How can I take the initiative to find you?"

At this time, Ning Que remembered his other identity. The commander Xu Chongshan met him and threw him a black wooden sign. He never contacted him again. He had already forgotten that he was an empire. The dark guard.

He was sighing and concealing his shame, but Fourth Master Qi was thinking of a strange part of this incident. His eyebrows that had just calmed down suddenly raised, and looked at the teenager in shock and said: "You... are a practice. Who? I know you have a strong killing ability, but when did you actually practice and enter the real world?"

"What happened just a few days ago, it was just a first-acquaintance level, and it was still a thousand miles away from the real world." Ning Que didn't know the Fujin mezzanine in the black dice cup of Gouxing Casino. Honestly replied: "I wanted to take advantage of the great opportunity no one knew to earn more silver. Although I can't earn it now, please help keep it secret."

Siye Qi's voice became sharp and annoyed: "You won more than ten thousand taels of silver from the hook star. How can this matter be kept secret? Although Chang'an City is large, it is not the one who runs with a small black charcoal maid. Many, as long as you inquire, you can be found out."

Ning Que smiled and said mildly: "You are the boss of Chang'an City now. Isn't you just saying something like this for trivial things? Do you dare to go against your will and continue to check me? ?"

Siye Qi was unable to refuse his unremarkable flattery, frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It is not difficult to hide, but what is it to conceal the identity of a practitioner? What do you mean? Do you still expect this to get bigger, and finally earn some fame for you in the empire? If that means, I advise you not to think like this, after all, Chang'an City is not a rural place, just do whatever you want If you can find a thousand or eight hundred practitioners out, you can’t be too conspicuous. According to my opinion, you might as well explain to the academy, it’s more important to get some real benefits."

Ning Que thought about the second-story building of the academy that might be opened next year, and thought about General Xiahou who was opening up territory for the empire at this time in a remote frontier. After a moment of silence, he smiled and replied: "Just because I know myself It’s too ordinary, so why bother to go out and make troubles, you can walk more steadily and farther on this road someday, and it’s okay to say it again."

"You are not a member of the Yulong Gang. You are up to you to do whatever you want, but since it is rare to meet you today, some things have to be done quickly."

Siye Qi stretched out his slender finger, clicked on the title deed document in front of him, and said: "There is a transfer agreement that requires your signature. From then on, this gambling house will be transferred to you. Spirit takes care of you."

Ning Que thought that this would not work. Opening a gambling shop requires people to ask for money and background. He wants to study in a college. It is impossible for Xiao Sangsang to look at the dozens of gaming tables in a croupier uniform. The son turned slightly and said with a smile on his face: "Good brother, you can just spend a little more effort to manage it. I really don't have this ability, and I don't have this time."

……

……

After a dispute, Si Ye Qi finally failed to beat Ning Que’s continuous flattery and Lai Pi spirit, and reluctantly agreed to his terms. The casino is still Ning Que’s, but it is managed by the Yulong Gang. Next, Ning Que didn't need to do anything, so he would get a monthly dividend according to the ratio negotiated by both parties.

After the discussion, without eating supper or calling the girl over to play, Ning Que left this new gambling shop in Xicheng with Sangsang in the first time. He walked in such a hurry, as if he was on the run. Generally, even when I returned to Lin 47 Lane, I remembered that I didn't even remember the name of that casino.

Sangsang took out the thick stack of silver bills from his belt, put it in the box and spread it out, and looked around the simple bedroom. The eyes of the willow leaves kept wandering in the beams and the mouse hole. Wandering constantly, trying to find the safest place to put it, after all, she lifted the bed board according to the old method and carefully hid the box in it.

Looking back, she saw Ning Que sitting on the armchair in a daze. The expression on his face was very complicated and wonderful, as if he was stunned by a cornucopia in the sky, and as if he was smashed and wanted to cry.

"Master, you are a little weird today." Sangsang looked at him and asked curiously: "Just now, when I left the gambling house, it seemed like I owed 800 taels of silver from someone, so embarrassed."

"Can you not be embarrassed? It's a shame today. I have never done anything like this in my life." Ning Que replied angrily, thinking about the box of cash under the bed, his face The color of shame was immediately replaced by the color of joy: "But if I can earn so much money every time, I am willing to push me down."

After saying this, he put a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to signal Sangsang to sit on the small bench in front of him, and said in a very serious tone: "I think it is necessary to have a family meeting. "

For Ning Que, family meetings were one of the most memorable and most uncomfortable experiences in his previous life. It was probably because of the serious influence subconsciously. Although the small family in this life is always only him and Sangsang Both master and servant, but whether it is in Minshan Caoju or Weicheng Courtyard, he often asks for family meetings.

Sangsang knew that the young master was about to start talking nonsense again, so he got a sewing bag with great experience, and then changed to a pair of comfortable slippers made of cotton, before sitting on the small bench in front of him, respectfully Waiting for instruction.

"In the windows of every bookstore in the college, there are some famous sayings and sayings from former sages. Although I think the words are not well written, the meaning of those sayings is not too wrong."

Sangsang lowered his head and concentrated on the insole. He didn't lift his head after listening to these words, but he hummed with his little nose, indicating that he heard the young master, please continue. Ning Que glanced at her and shook her head. In these years, every time she held a family meeting, she was like this. He said many times that there was no effect. There is really no way to take her, ignore it, and continue with her. Speaking, just begging the only listener not to slip away.

"In fact, there is a sentence like this—environment changes people’s temperament, and support changes people’s physique. What does this mean? It tells us that when you have two thousand taels of silver in your hand, you can do everything. You can't be stingy and stingy like when you only had twenty taels of silver, and you can't always eat leftovers..."

Hearing this, Sangsang raised his head and glanced at him, his face full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

"Well, frugality is indeed a virtue, but if you think about it, we really don’t have a bad money now. We have more than ten thousand taels of silver in our hands, and the gambling house has dividends every month. , We can no longer live with the mentality of being poor, and we can’t rush to see that there is a way to make money like we are desperate and mad."

Ning Que said with emotion: "In other words, the affairs of scholars are the affairs of scholars, and the affairs of practitioners are also the affairs of practitioners. You have to be more considerate, and don't always think about relying on these things. Earning money, it always feels a bit of a decline...So I decided not to go to the casino to cheat and win money in the future. I am worried that the college teachers will get angry when they learn about it. At the same time, I decided to take all my masterpieces from tomorrow. Withdraw from the front shop. As for business, I will collect some cheap books from poor scholars from Xiangfang to sell, and make a difference."

Sangsang passed the needle and thread through the end of the insole, pulled hard, opened his mouth to bite the end of the thread and snapped it off, and then asked with doubtful eyes: "Not for sale? Master, will this happen? Will it appear that some poor people become rich?"

Ning Que was taken aback by what she said, coughed twice, and said: "The adjectives you use are not too prepared. It doesn't make the poor get rich. It should be called the rich. Of course, the poor don't look good at first. , Xiaofu is undesirable, so I still hang a few copies in the front shop, but the price must be raised, and I can’t sell it unless I am a daughter."

Sangsang thought, Master, your most expensive middle hall only sold for twenty taels of silver, and the expensive one was sold out. That day, you also specially ordered me to braise a pot of braised pork to celebrate the final slaughter. You have been taken a fool, and now you say that your books cannot be sold if you are not a daughter. Although Chang'an City is indeed a lot of fools and money, where are there so many fools?

Looking at the intense doubt in the little girl’s black eyes, Ning Que frowned and explained with a smile: "Remember, we are too rich now, not bad, this is considered a daughter to buy horse bones. , Can increase your reputation."

According to what he meant, the next day Sangsang took most of the books he wrote from the old pen, and then went to Xiangfang to buy a lot of new books by calligraphers. When there is no enquiry for the written book, she will honestly tell the other party: The owner's handwritten writing is extremely precious, so the price is not two.

The development of the situation is not the same as Ning Que guessed. Putting his calligraphy works at a thousand gold prices did not make Lao Bi Zhai's reputation soar, but the business in the shop became worse and worse, except There was a lot of cynicism like "Is the owner of this shop crazy?"

But now the master and servant have suddenly changed from being a poor person to being too **** rich. There are really some poor people who have the energy to become rich. Even Sangsang doesn’t care much about Lao Bi Zhai’s income, and Ning Que is always there. The academy was busy reviewing homework, and was busy going up to the old friend to ask the friend for advice and practice many methods in the world, not to mention them.
