Shen Jiawen's illness has damaged some of his body bones, and he coughs twice from time to time. Combined with his weak body and bones, it looks like he has tuberculosis.
He went to the Chu family's banquet, and Nanzhi went to see Miss Chu to say goodbye. They were going back.
Miss Chu was a little reluctant to leave Nanzhi, "You, it would be great if you lived here!"
Nanzhi said bluntly: "I have been away from home for such a long time, and many people in the village are waiting for me to go back for treatment."
Miss Chu just smiled and said, "Your brother is here to attend the banquet. The Chu family just wants to select those worth cultivating."
Nanzhi exclaimed, "Will you let your sister marry a student who passed the exam?"
Marriage seems to have been the most common and useful method in ancient times.
Miss Chu just said: "Let a few concubines go and choose."
Nanzhi:……
It sounds like picking cabbage.
The Chu family was warm and considerate to Shen Jiawen, and asked about the Shen family's situation with concern. They learned that the Shen family was really poor, but the Chu family didn't take it to heart.
It would be great to be able to win the exam if you are poor and useless.
But Shen Jiawen's body was really weak, so he suppressed a cough. A somewhat sickly blush came over his face.
Investment can be made, but if the people are gone, there will be nothing.
Shen Jiawen looked into the eyes of the Chu family and remained calm. Fortunately, he still had a sickly body to cover him up.
After all, Shen Jiawen has been promoted, and Shen Jiawen has risen. What else does the Chu family need to do at this time, unless the Chu family can pave the way for Shen Jiawen in the officialdom.
Use the Chu family's connections to pave the way for Shen Jiawen's future.
After the banquet was over, Nanzhi said goodbye to Miss Chu. Miss Chu gave Nanzhi a package. Nanzhi took it over and looked at it. It contained some food and a banknote.
Nanzhi returned the banknote to Miss Chu and left something to eat. You can't take something so valuable from others without any reason.
Back at the inn, Nanzhi asked Shen Jiawen: "Are the Chu family going to give you a daughter-in-law? Is she Miss Chu?"
With Miss Chu's temperament, she is so sad for the spring and sad for the autumn, and is unreasonably worried. She has a bad heart, and the days in the backyard are also difficult!
Shen Jiawen shook his head, "You didn't ask me about my marriage."
To be a matchmaker, you first have to know whether the other person is married. Obviously, he looks so sick and his investment will be in vain if he doesn't pay attention to it.
If you really want to invest, you have to beg him not to die. If you have any problems, you should see a doctor immediately, for fear of something going wrong.
The Chu family would not ignore such an obvious risk.
"Oh, that's it!" Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay.
She looked at Shen Jiawen's thin body. How could such a thin body find so many women? Can you handle it?
Shen Jiawen:......
What are you looking at? Your eyes are very contemptuous and contemptuous.
After living in Qingfeng Building for so long without spending any money, it was a huge bargain. The shopkeeper even sent Nanzhi and his party out the door.
Nanzhi carried a lot of things, a small package when he came, and big and small packages when he returned.
Shen Jiawen said: "I won't take some things if I can't take them with me."
Nanzhi: “These are gifts I bought for my family.”
After carrying the trembling package on the boat, Nanzhi made some more seasickness-preventing meatballs this time, and maybe she could sell them.
Due to the delay due to Shen Jiawen's illness, there were many students on the previous boat, but there were very few students on this trip back, and it felt like a mixed bag.
Nanzhi lived in a cabin alone. The cabin had been booked long ago, but when he got on the ship, Nanzhi found that his room had been occupied.
Nanzhi:? ? ?
You live in my room, whose room do I live in?
But the other party threw a lot of money over, saying that the room was requisitioned by their master, and the money was enough to compensate you for your losses.
Nanzhi looked at the shimmering silver and narrowed his eyes, "This is not enough."
The servant's eyes widened immediately, "Such a big ingot of silver is not enough. Don't push yourself too far. You can take the money but not spend it."
It was also an emergency, so I didn't book it right away, so I was ripped off.
The men looked around, and now that so many people saw a little girl getting a piece of silver, the greed in their eyes overflowed.
"You'd better stop when you're done."
When Shen Jiawen saw this situation, he immediately came out to solve the problem. The other party looked at Shen Jiawen and said, "Are you a candidate for the exam?"
Shen Jiawen nodded, "Yes, I will give you the room. The money is enough."
Shen Jiawen picked up the silver ingot on the ground and stuffed it into Nanzhi's hand.
Nanzhi blinked and said to the onlookers: "Which of you has a room, swap with us, three rooms, and you can share this ingot of silver."
Soon someone came forward and offered to give up the room, but there were three of them and two more were needed.
With the first person, there were two or three, and soon all three rooms were found, leaving them to divide the money among themselves.
The money turned around in Nanzhi's hand, and the room was available, as if nothing was lost.
The man standing at the door of the cabin twitched his lips and looked inexplicable, as if something was wrong.
Nanzhi originally wanted to use the large ingot of silver to eat and make peace on the boat, but there was not even a place to sleep.
The journey was not short. Nanzhi felt that he could squeeze into Datongpu with others, but Shen Jiawen could not.
How many people are there on this boat? There is only room for standing and squatting.
When everyone saw that she had money, they wanted to grab it, so they simply changed rooms.
Shen Jiawen looked at Nanzhi, "You think very fast." The money was thrown away and the room was obtained.
What surprised Shen Jiawen was that for such a big ingot of silver, Xiangzhu gave up as soon as she said she wanted to, without even struggling.
Standing next to Boss Shen, he could hear the sound of Boss Shen gasping for air. Obviously, Boss Shen had never seen such a huge sum of money.
I will definitely keep it without hesitation, but with so many people watching, it may end up losing both people and money.
Until now when they arrived in the room, Boss Shen was still breathing in. Shen Jiawen said: "When you go out, your wealth should not be leaked. Everyone knows that money is not a good thing."
"I know, so many people are watching, but it still hurts in my heart!"
"I'm frightened by the sudden windfall. Dad, if you don't feel comfortable holding that money, it's better not to give it up."
Boss Shen:...
You two are so generous, aren't you just a little bit arrogant like me?
You really don’t know what it’s like to be poor!
When you get poor, sometimes you don’t even risk your life.
Shen Jiawen comforted him: "Dad, the most important thing for us now is to get back safely. My, dad's and Xiangzhu's lives are more important than anything else."
After Shen Jiawen finished speaking, he looked at the cabin door guarded over there.
Since we were going to discuss giving up the house with them, we had to do it in public.
