Chapter 362 I'll pay 2
"This couplet is truly exquisite!" Young Master Luodan's admiring gaze never left Jiang Youzhen.
"Is there anyone who dares to come up and challenge?" Young Master Luodan shouted to everyone.
"I think this couplet is already extremely exquisite. There is no way it could be more appropriate than it."
"Yes! Not only does it resolve the bad omen, but it also makes for a very neat parallel."
"As expected of him, he is admitted to the provincial academy. His literary talent and attainments are beyond the reach of all of us!"
"I heard that this boy is the top scorer in this year's county case, no wonder he came up with such a couplet."
Everyone was talking about it, praising Jiang Youzhen, but no one dared to challenge him.
Tong Huaian smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaolang would improve so quickly. This couplet is indeed exquisite."
"Junior brother is making rapid progress." Wen Ruyu was also filled with emotion.
He still remembered that when he first entered the private school, Jiang Youzhen always borrowed notes from him. Now he has grown to the point that he looks up to him.
"If no one challenges, the three hundred taels of silver awarded this time will belong to Master Jiang."
"Wow, there really are three hundred taels."
"That's right! Young Master Luodan is generous and never breaks his promises."
"If I had known there were really three hundred taels, I would have tried it too."
Many people present were very jealous. Three hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. A small family could only use six taels of silver a year at most. How many years would it take to use three hundred taels of silver?
"Go and get the banknotes." Young Master Luodan ordered behind him.
"Master Jiang, we want to hang this couplet in Yanchu Pavilion. These three hundred taels are your reward."
Isn't this just using three hundred taels of silver to buy his own couplet? Jiang Youzhen thought about it and decided that since he had gained three hundred taels of silver, he might as well just hang it up!
The lantern festival tonight was very lively and many students came.
Jiang Youzhen walked back along the cobblestone path. This place was somewhat similar to the park in his previous life. Even the toilets were very tidy and clean, as if someone cleaned them regularly.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom at this time. Jiang Youzhen looked at the peach blossoms along the way and walked back slowly.
"Mr. Jiang, please stay."
Not far away, a corner of a lilac-colored robe was visible through the dim shadows of the trees, and the man walked out from the shadows while speaking.
The copper-yellow mask was enveloped by the bright moonlight, emitting a vague halo that was a bit softer than the coldness just now.
"Master Luodan?" Jiang Youzhen was a little confused. It seemed like this man was waiting here on purpose.
"I have something important to discuss with you, young master, so I am waiting here."
Jiang Youzhen was full of doubts. She was not familiar with Young Master Luodan. What could this man want from her?
"That's right. I believe you also know that Tongzhou Prefecture is going to build a new wharf."
"I have indeed heard of it." Jiang Youzhen nodded.
"In fact, I want to cooperate with you and get some benefits from it. It doesn't matter whether we rent the shop together or rent it out and sell it to others."
"Why would Master Luodan want to cooperate with me? I believe that as long as you bring it up, there will be many people willing to work for you."
Jiang Youzhen thought about it, could it be because of Tong Huaian?
"I believe that with your intelligence, you have understood my intention." Young Master Luodan sighed.
"I did see that you and Tong Huaian are close friends, so I asked you for help. I will pay you so that you don't suffer any loss. As long as you help to intercede, I will get a certain percentage of your share in the end. It all depends on your wishes."
So easy to talk to? Jiang Youzhen was puzzled. Isn't this just rushing to give money?
"Why don't you go directly to Brother Huai'an? I see that you two have some friendship, so why not just talk to him directly?"
Unexpectedly, Master Luodan gave a bitter smile and said, "I believe Master Jiang has also seen that Master Tong doesn't like me very much. He is from an aristocratic family, so it's understandable that he looks down on people like me."
"I am not as wealthy as those merchants, so I can only ask you for help."
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "If Master Luodan wants me to help make connections, I'm willing to help. But if we want to open a shop together, forget it. I'm focusing on studying right now, and I don't want to get involved in these things."
Jiang Youzhen just felt that this person was very shrewd and there was much more to him than he seemed. How could she possibly open a shop with this person? Instead of working with him, it would be better for her to work with Tong Huaian.
"Mr. Jiang, there is no need to rush to refuse. Why not see my sincerity first?"
Young Master Luodan stretched out his hands and waved them in front of Jiang Youzhen, "One hundred thousand taels, just to rent a small shop, should be enough, right?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just wait for the annual dividends."
Jiang Youzhen still shook his head, "Please find someone else, Master Luodan."
Luo Dan sighed deeply, "It's a little hard to say, Mr. Jiang knows who I am. Don't look at my current glory, but in the eyes of those people, I am just a plaything! If one day I am disliked by everyone, it will definitely not be good in the future."
He said he only looked at Jiang Youzhen, and his tone was very sincere.
"I want to save some money now to avoid a miserable situation in the future, and this matter cannot be known by the manager of our Yanchu Pavilion."
"Xiao Lang, we have to go back. Curfew is about to start." At this time, Tong Huaian's voice came from not far away.
Jiang Youzhen responded quickly, said goodbye to Master Luodan, and left quickly.
"What does he want you to do? This man is good at calculating, you have to be careful." Tong Huaian turned his head and looked at Jiang Youzhen.
"Don't worry! Am I that stupid? Don't I know whether he is coming for me?" Jiang Youzhen smiled.
"Let's go. Aren't you in a hurry to go back to the city? Where's Senior Brother Wen? Ask him to come with us."
Young Master Luodan strode into the compartment on the right side of the attic. As soon as he opened the door, a man suddenly jumped out from the side and blocked his way.
"How is it? Is it done?" the cloaked man asked impatiently.
Young Master Luodan shook his head, "How could someone who could propose such a new policy be stupid?"
"You've already offered 100,000 taels, and he's still not tempted?"
"Wait a little longer! I'm not familiar with her now, I'll find another chance next time."
The results of the provincial school's monthly exam will be announced in three days, so Jiang Youzhen went to the small courtyard he rented temporarily as soon as school was over.
"How is she doing? How is her recovery?"
Jiang Youzhen asked the old woman, and the old woman did not dare to neglect him.
"Madam has recovered very quickly and can now walk. However, her wound has not yet completely healed. The doctor said that she should rest for a while and avoid overexerting herself to avoid straining the wound."
"Yes! You have to take good care of her daily life during this period and keep her under guard for me."
Jiang Youzhen was afraid that the eldest young lady of the Chen family would do something out of the ordinary. Where did her injuries come from? It was obvious.
"But Mr. Jiang is here?" A soft voice came from the room.
"It's down."
The main room of the courtyard
At this time, the young lady of the Chen family was sitting at the bottom. She quickly glanced at Jiang Youzhen and was shocked by his appearance.
