Chapter 318: Students

In the early morning, the roosters were not crowing, and the sound of running water came from the Ginkgo Garden.

Xiaoman sat on the small chair beside the bed, opening his eyes in a daze.

She stood up in her arms, followed the sound of water and pushed the door out. She was just seeing Chen Ji rolling up her sleeves, picking up a wooden barrel and pouring the water into the large tank in the ear room.

She rubbed her eyes and said in surprise: "Young Master, are you really going to fetch water? Whose noble master can fetch water by himself? Wouldn't it be a joke if it is spread?"

Chen Ji smiled and said, "I am not a noble man. I am just a mud-legged man from a clinic apprentice. I don't care what others think of me."

Xiaoman muttered: "You are no longer in the clinic, so don't mention the identity of an apprentice in the clinic. Many people in the capital don't know about it."

Chen Ji put down his rolled up sleeves and said seriously: "Xiaoman, the apprentice in the clinic is my favorite identity, nothing shameful."

Xiaoman raised his head and carefully tentatively said, "Is it because the princess he met there?"

Chen Ji paused with his sleeve pulling his hands and said calmly: "Not all, there are my master, two senior brothers, princess, brother Gou'er, brother Mao'er. By the way, there is also a young monk who can see through other people's thoughts. He should be practicing in Pratyekabuddha Temple now. We can go and see him when we have time."

Xiaoman whispered: "Young Master, I say something unpleasant, princess... "

Chen Ji interrupted: "Xiaoman, even if you are trapped in Jingyang Palace, I will try my best to save you."

Xiaoman's eyes lit up: "Really? The young master didn't lie to me?"

"Really," Chen Ji changed the topic: "By the way, how much money do I have left?"

Xiaoman calculated carefully: "Young Master, you still had 237 taels of silver on you when you left Guyuan. When you became sworn brothers, your second sister gave you 600 taels of gifts. After returning to Chen's house, the Dragon Boat Festival gave you 100 taels of news. I will give you 30 taels of money... I will give you 20 taels, and you will give you 80 taels of silver. A total of 917 taels of silver."

Chen Ji thought that when he grew a mark, he needed to ignite seven hundred and twenty fires, and then he needed three hundred and sixty old ginseng and tens of thousands of taels of silver...

Now he has three marks on his body, five hundred and fifty fires...

It takes less than 40,000 taels of silver!

Shanjun's path is too expensive, so how can I get so much money by myself? Even if I take back all my aunt's property and sell it, I may not be able to exchange for so much money.

Moreover, he has one thing to do, which requires a lot of money.

Chen Ji thought for a moment and asked, "Xiaoman, did you teach you business information in the past? Have she ever said that what kind of business is the most profitable in Beijing?"

Xiaoman thought for a while: "My aunt said that being a businessman does not make money, being a cabinet master is the most profitable."

Chen Ji was shocked: "It makes sense."

Xiaoman calculated by his fingers: "Salt, iron, tea, and silver are the most profitable, but they are all in the hands of the court. The business that ordinary people can do is just to open small inns or taels, or do handicrafts or as a tailor. You can earn dozens of dollars every year, and hundreds of taels of silver is very satisfying. Not owing debts is a good thing... By the way, my aunt said that a very profitable business."

Chen Ji's eyes lit up: "What kind of business?"

Xiaoman smiled and said, "The house is raided, and my aunt said that the house is raided and profitable, but she has no capital."

Chen Ji thought something.

At this time, Xiaoman said again: "But my aunt also said that although it is very important to make money, what is the most important thing to make money."

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "Xiaoman, we are going to save money recently, saving a lot of money."

Xiaoman was puzzled: "What do you want so much money to do? Will you give a betrothal gift?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "No, you will know in the future. You can sleep for a while. I'm going to Yingmao to the Yulin Army Governor's Office."

Xiaoman followed him to the gate of the yard: "Then I'll go to deliver food to you at noon? The Chen family's food is not expensive. Now the master and the master have explained to the kitchen, and they dare not make things difficult for me anymore. We should save money and flowery things, but let your colleagues see it, and they may laugh at you for being shabby and not even willing to go to the restaurant."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "It's okay, let them think."

Xiaoman suddenly said, "By the way, this little black cat has not been named yet. Please give it one...you haven't hugged it yet."

She held the little black cat in front of her, and the little black cat turned its round eyes and looked around.

Chen Ji did not reach out to pick it up, but just smiled and said, "Just give it a name."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the side door of Qinzheng Garden along the blue brick road.

...

...

The Chen family is the second one on Fuyou Street. There is a clean blue brick road in front of the door, and there are also plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums carved on the bricks.

As soon as he left the door, he saw Li Xuan waiting at the door, leaning against the side door, kicking the stone lion in front of the Chen family without a single kick.

When he saw Chen Ji come out, he quickly wiped the footprints on the stone lion with his sleeve: "Master, you have calculated it."

Chen Ji said in confusion: "Why did you go to Yingmao early in the morning? I thought you would sleep at home."

They thought carefully and said, "It's been a long time since my family took me out of the imperial prison. I must be honest. If I get caught by the poisonous person again, my father will probably have to sell my legs."

Chen Ji looked at Li Xuan: "Why are you waiting for me here?"

Qi Zhenju quickly explained: "The Qi family is the first in Fuyou Street, and your Chen family is the second. Isn't it just right? In addition, Zhao Zhuofan, who was under Chen Wenren, was cut down, and maybe he was thinking about how to take revenge. This person is serious and capable, and he has a lot of bad skills. What if he finds someone to intercept you and miss your time in Yingmao? So go with him and walk together."

Chen Ji nodded.

I thought about it and asked for a more supplement: "I don't underestimate you, Master. We all know your abilities, but the second house of the Chen family has raised several big officials. If that kid instructs big officials to do something bad to you, it's hard to be on guard."

Chen Ji smiled and said, "No need to explain, thank you."

The three of them crossed the Taiping Bridge made of white marble together. On the other side of the bridge was no longer the high-gate courtyard of the aristocratic family, but small alleys with smoke from cooking.

When I passed through the alley, the sky was still green.

The steamer on the coal stove at the entrance of the alley was stacked higher than that of a man. The old man in a short jacket hit the edge of the pot with a latte spoon and shouted crisply: "Corroded circle! Sugar and oil cake!"

There were a few small tables and small stools in front of the stall. The short-term worker who gathered together to have breakfast muttered: "I fell on the overpass yesterday. Which side did I win? I was in a hurry to deliver vegetables to the Hu family, but I didn't dare to stop and see more."

The stall owner laughed happily and said, "It must be Huoji. Huoji has won for seven years, and he is so overwhelming that Rui Fuxiang can't raise his head."

At the small table, a man said mysteriously: "I watched it on the overpass yesterday and almost missed the church of Mr. Li's house... Hehe, this time I really won the Weji!"

"Hurry, tell me, what's going on?"

"Rui Fuxiang didn't know where he found the new stick. He was nicknamed Brother Pao. He was very skilled and fell so hard that Wang Kui couldn't find Bei!"

"Wow! So awesome?"

Chen Ji stopped and Li Xuan turned around in confusion: "What's wrong? They are all gangs who are not allowed to play in the East City. They are fighting fiercely all day long and fighting for territory. The government is in a headache. I don't know who is behind the scenes, but no one has touched them for so many years."

Chen Ji thought for a moment: "It's okay, let's go."

The three of them followed West Chang'an Street to the front of Deyuan Gate, and more than 200 Yulin soldiers were present on the school ground.

Chen Wenren, who was speaking, saw them coming in, turned his head and glanced at him, and then said, "From today, we will be on the turn of the Yulin Army. If there are no more people in the hour of Mao, don't blame me for turning against me..."

Qi Zhenzhe walked forward with a smile and interrupted Chen Wenren: "I'll introduce to you my colleagues that this is the coach of our Yulin Army, "Chen Ji", and he will teach us the skills of weapons in the future. The brothers who came back from Guyuan together know what he is capable of. It doesn't matter if the brothers who have never been to Guyuan don't know. You will know sooner or later..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Wenren sneered, and interrupted his consideration in turn: "I read the Ministry of War documents. In the documents, he was only promoted to the small flag official, and he was not said to be the coach. Do we brothers in the Yulin Army have any lower positions than the small flag official?"

After saying that, the Yulin Jun beside him burst into laughter, and the white pheasant tail on his head trembled.

This Yulin Army is a place where the children of officials are gilded.

Shenji Camp, Long Live Army, and the Five Army Camps are divided into generals, deputy generals, soldiers, thousands of households, hundreds of households, general flags, small flags, and soldiers from top to bottom.

The Yulin Army is the commander, the hundred households, the general flag, the small flag, and the soldiers. The strange thing is that 90% of the Yulin Army are small flag officials, with more officials than soldiers.

Qi Jingzhao pointed at someone beside Chen Wenren and said, "Li Bing, don't think I don't know how your little flag was raised. Didn't your family buy a few bandits to capture you and make a contribution, and you would be embarrassed to lick your face and smile?"

Li Bing's face changed: "Think about it, your ass is clean? Do you think I don't know how you are promoted to the deputy commander?"

Thinking and talking in one's way.

He hesitated for a long time: "Men are reforming now!"

Yu Linjun opposite burst into laughter: "Speaking like farting, have you reformed?"

Chen Wenren said coldly: "The brothers in our Yulin Army know the truth, and no one should pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. Besides, 70% of our Yulin Army's brothers have official positions on them, so how can he teach?"

Duobao, who came back from Guyuan together, narrowed his eyes: "The way of being an official is amazing? Who is not an official? When you go to the battlefield, you will understand that when Jing Chao Iron Cavalry rushed towards you, the official is just a target."

Chen Wenren smiled and pointed at Chen Ji and said, "Okay, since he wants to be this coach, I have found someone to fight him. If he wins, I will let him be this coach. If he loses, he will be his little flag official. Wang Fang, come and try him. If he wins, you will be the coach of our ward."

The Yulin Army moved aside and showed a burly man inside.

Qi Zhenzhuo whispered to Chen Ji: "Master, don't worry. Although Wang Fang of the Hundred Houses always said that he had stepped into the realm of seeking Taoism with one foot, he thought he was a scheming and had never fought with anyone. With your ability..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ji said, "I can't beat it, there is no need to try it."

They were shocked to think together.

Chen Ji walked to the Governor's Office, and while walking, he said casually: "There are all officials in the Yulin Army. Everyone has unique skills and can't learn anything from me. Don't listen to each other and talk nonsense. I'm just lucky in Guyuan and have no real skills."

Chen Wenren was stunned. He had prepared a lot of tricks, but he didn't expect that Chen Ji had no intention of seizing power at all, which made him not know what to do for a moment.

Qi Zhenzhao followed Chen Ji's butt and whispered: "Master, why are you saying that? Can you be lucky to kill hundreds of people in a formation?"

Chen Ji turned to look at him and said in confusion: "Is there any benefit for teaching these people?"

All of them thought for granted: "Teacher of Yulin Army, how powerful is it to speak out?"

Chen Ji said in confusion again: "Is the Yulin Army a very powerful and famous army?"

They thought about it and opened their mouths, but they stopped talking.

Chen Ji entered the Governor's Office, took out the armor from the cabinet and put it on. Li Xuan said from the side: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to fight for this coach, but the brothers who have returned from Guyuan want to learn some weapons from you."

Chen Ji lowered his head and tied his armor, silent.

I thought about it for a while, but I didn't know if he was willing to teach or not. I was so anxious that I scratched my head: "Master, you're saying something."

Chen Ji was still silent.

At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something, and whispered and said, "Longmen Inn."

They were all wondering: "What Longmen Inn? Brother-in-law, what are you doing at Longmen Inn at this time? Don't mention that place, I'm always having nightmares in Longmen Inn."

Li Xuan whispered: "What did you forget about him going to Longmen Inn alone earlier? Let's trade news about His Highness."

Qi Jingju woke up and immediately turned to Chen Ji and said, "Master, teach me weapons, I will give you fifty taels of silver a month!"

Chen Ji put on his armor and stroked the shiny heart-protecting mirror with his hands, and looked up and said, "Document."

He turned to look at Li Xuan again: "Does Lord Li want to learn?"

Li Xuan: "...study, but my family is in charge of money, and I can't afford that much."
