Chapter 38: The sea water cannot be weighed (Medium)

Holding the wooden box in the bottle, he quietly lowered his head and ran to an alley facing the street, and boarded a carriage waiting on the street.

Chen Jing, who had been sitting in the car, took the box in Chen Si's hand. The two of them looked at each other and then laughed.

The silent laughter was still restrained, but Chen Jing laughed directly on the floor, and laughed strangely and exclaimed: "I haven't played like this in my life... They must have thought we were fools."

He said with a depressed expression: "Actually, I usually speak that way."

"When people think you can do it, they are wise and stupid." Chen Jing got up and said, "If you think you can't do it, you will become the 'first person'." The last sentence is Shaoxing dialect, which means a fool. Speaking of this, he suddenly became nervous again and said, "Hey, we won't really become the 'first person in the end, right?"

"I don't know if you are." Chen Si said with certainty: "But I am definitely not the first person."

"Are you a second generation?" Chen Jing laughed and teased: "I wonder if this elder brother, where is his family living in his previous family? Is it also a Shaoxing person?"

Chen Shu shook his head and chuckled, "I don't remember." Then he changed the topic, but he thought of Cui Hao's words, "Where is the village at dusk? The smoke and waves on the river make people sad."

As soon as the carriage was quiet, the curtain was suddenly lifted open. The coachman leaned in and said, "Young master, young master, the gambling house has increased our compensation."

"How many?" Chen Jing immediately felt energetic.

"Shanyin pays seven, and the county pays six." The coachman said astonished: "Since no one dared to challenge Shanyin Qingteng, he has never given such a high penalty."

"I understand, let's go back." Chen Jing nodded and said. The coachman then retracted and rushed to the car.

"Who is Shanyin Qingteng?" Chen Si said strangely: "Is this person very powerful?" He cursed in his heart: "Why don't you even know this?"

"Xu Wenqing?" Chen Jing looked at him as if he was looking at an animal, and said in surprise: "Not to mention Shaoxing City, even Zhejiang is well known."

"Oh, it's him." Silent nodded and smiled, "I've heard it awkwardly." In order not to be regarded as a 'second-generation man', he was going to ask slowly in the future.

Chen Jing felt that this was the right solution, so he expressed his worries and said, "We have incited the compensation, but the higher the number, the less we hope. If we can't win, wouldn't it be useless to lose money?"

Silent eyebrows raised and said, "It's okay, have confidence in me."

Chen Jing's face changed a little, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I go and place a bet!"

"Not for now." Silence held him back and said, "Wait for two more days, the losses should be higher."

His judgment was correct. In the next two days, the glass bottle with a round belly and a slender neck became a hot topic among the people of Shaoxing City. People made suggestions and designed a plan for gilding in the bottle.

Compared with ordinary people who can only enjoy their mouths, those big businessmen can actually do it to see if they can do it... Wang Laohu's bottle is indeed coming across the ocean, but it is not as rare as he said. At least there are many wealthy families in Shaoxing City...

On the Yin Family Courtyard in the east of the city, on an elegantly shaped embroidery building in the back garden, Hua Ping'er held a bottle and stood behind her lady's house, softly saying, "Miss, think of a way, there is nothing in this world that can stump you."

The young lady of the Yin family was wearing a goose yellow gauze shirt and sat upright at the desk, but she still looked slim and graceful. Her long black hair was draped into the vest and gently tied it with a silver ribbon, revealing a slender and jade-like neck.

She was carefully reading an account book, and she didn't look up when she heard this, "I told you yesterday, and I can't do anything." Her voice was neither fast nor slow, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face, without any trace of fireworks.

"Is there no way to do it today?" Huaping asked unwillingly.

"If I think of a solution after sleeping, I don't have to worry about family affairs all day long." Miss Yin laughed and scolded, "You little girl, you should really fight my sister for your lover."

"How could it be..." Huaping blushed and said, "He is a scholar, how could he fall in love with a little maid like a maid?"

"I think he is not worthy of my painting screen." Miss Yin finally looked away from the account book, gently held the painting screen's hand and said, "My painting screen is very kind, clever and beautiful. Who can marry you? How great is that blessing?" She said, "Tell you that brat, if you can't get into a scholar, don't think about my painting screen."

"Miss, you are making fun of me again..." Hua Ping's body twisted into a mess and said, "I'm still young."

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Miss Yin let go of her hand, looked at the flower trees outside the window, and stretched her waist gracefully. Her posture made her look stunned. She thought to herself, "Miss is much better than me." Then she heard Miss Yin whisper: "The mouth of this bottle is too thin, and the iron grate cannot be stretched in at all; it is too thin and too crisp, so she can't resist the knocking of the whole strip, and it is not possible to go horizontally and vertically."

Seeing Huaping's expression getting frustrated, Miss Yin comforted softly: "We don't have a gold and silver shop, so we are really laymen. Maybe we can invite master craftsmen to solve this problem."

"But he, a poor boy, where can he go to hire a master craftsman?" Hua Ping said worriedly.

"Don't worry." Miss Yin smiled confidently: "I heard that County Magistrate Zhang was walking around with a bottle these two days, and the magistrate obviously wanted to help."

"Really?" The screen finally ignited a glimmer of hope and asked excitedly: "They can definitely solve it, right?"

Miss Yin thought about it and nodded, of course, most of the comforting elements were.

County Magistrate Li really wanted to help, it had nothing to do with the warmth of the ancient Taoist, but purely for himself - because the prefect is about to be about to be completed in nine years... The Ming Dynasty implemented the assessment method of officials' political achievements of "three years of initial examination, six years of requisition, and nine years of full". Generally, if you have no mistakes after nine years of responsibilities, you will be promoted to one level. If you can get a high-level evaluation, you will be promoted to two levels in a row. Of course, if you don't know how to be a human being and have bad luck, you will have to be demoted.

Anyway, the prefect is about to move. But as usual, he will recommend the candidates he thinks are suitable at the end of the memorial, although the court will decide who he uses in the end. However, the situation of this dynasty is special. As long as you take a good path, you will definitely be able to get the final appointment.
