Chapter 275 Only Reading Can Make You Successful

But the Chen Yunze they met today was clearly a generous and magnanimous person who treated others very kindly.

During dinner today, Chen Yunze learned that it was Yuan Qing who proposed to control the situation, and that many of the things she said were taught by Yuan Qing. She directly called Yuan Qing his savior, and then she wanted to give Yuan Qing silver as a thank you.

After being firmly rejected by Yuan Qing, he asked someone to go to his silver shop to get a lot of silver jewelry and let the girls pick two each, saying that good things come in pairs and it would be a good omen for the New Year.

Before leaving, she saw the servant beside Chen Yunze secretly gave Yuan Shan a gold bracelet.

There were eight girls in their group, and they were given so many silver bracelets and silver earrings without hesitation, and she also accepted the two fifty-tael silver ingots she stuffed into her pocket without blinking an eye.

You don't look like you're short of money. Why would you go out and collect rent during the New Year instead of playing?

More than one person had the same doubts, especially Yuan Shan, Song Tian and others who had no friendship with Lin Wenxuan before.

They were more inclined to Chen Yunze. After receiving such a big gold bracelet from Chen Yunze, Yuan Shan couldn't help but speak up for Chen Yunze: "It's only natural to pay rent when you rent someone's shop to do business. What's wrong with them collecting rent?"

"There's a time to collect rent. How can you block someone's door during the New Year? You're just going to cause trouble for them!" Lin Wenxuan frowned.

"Xiao Shan!"

Yuan Shan was not convinced and wanted to continue defending Chen Yunze. However, after being stopped by Yuan Qing, she reluctantly shut up.

Song Tian said, "She's right. Master Chen is so generous. It must be that these vendors usually delay paying the rent. Master Chen has no choice but to do this."

"You know nothing, what nonsense are you talking about?" Song Ying glared at him. "If one family keeps delaying payment, will everyone else keep delaying payment? Can you please use your brain before you speak?"

"I didn't know you knew this!" Song Tian said rudely.

"I definitely know more than you!"

Song Tian opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. This was the fact and there was no way to refute it.

He turned to Luo Yanxing and the others and said sarcastically, "Look at you ungrateful wolves. You just took someone's bracelet and earrings, and then you turned around and said bad things about them behind their backs."

"Whoever said bad things, we didn't say a word." Luo Yanxing defended.

"Wait, what bracelets and earrings?" Song Ying looked at everyone and asked curiously.

Luo Yanxing touched the tip of his nose and told the story: "After Master Chen knew that it was Yuan Qing's idea to come out and stop the people, he also wanted to give Yuan Qing silver. Yuan Qing refused, so he asked his silver shop to bring silver bracelets and silver earrings for us to choose from."

Song Ying's eyes widened, and he immediately felt something was wrong. Not to mention that Chen Yunze's so-called life-saving grace was very reluctant, Erni and the others just stood there and did nothing, so he also gave them a thank-you gift?

After thinking for a while, Song Ying pointed at Song Tian, Tian Hu, Luo Erzhu and the other two and asked, "Did you give them anything?"

"Of course not. They were among the Japanese at the time. This has nothing to do with them. They were able to go to Tianxiang Tower because of us."

Although Song Tian and the other two were not happy with this statement, it was also the fact, so they kept silent.

Song Ying asked again: "Is there anything for me?"

"No, you were not there, so we didn't have the courage to mention it." When Chen Yunze proposed to give Yuan Qing some silver as a thank you, she said that they could just divide the 100 taels from before, and there was no need to give any more money.

But Master Chen was so enthusiastic that it was useless to refuse him. Yuan Qing was forced to say that if he insisted on giving it to him, he would not be ashamed to stay for dinner, and only then did Master Chen give up.

"Mr. Chen didn't mention me either?" Song Ying asked again.

Song Tian couldn't help but sneer, "Who told you to be so noble and not go? Now you're jealous of Sister Yanxing and the others for getting jewelry."

Song Ying completely ignored him and just looked at Luo Yanxing and the others.

"No, Mr. Chen should have forgotten." Luo Yanxing said.

Song Ying sighed and looked at Yuan Qing, "Is this directed at you?"

Luo Yanxing and others were stunned and didn't understand what she meant.

Yuan Qing nodded slightly, and Song Ying immediately showed an understanding expression and exclaimed: "What a great move."

"No, what does it mean?" Luo Yanxing was completely confused.

Others were also confused.

Song Ying glanced at Yuan Qing, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she explained to them: "At that time, Chen Yunze was just squeezed in the crowd, and he was not necessarily in danger, so his so-called life-saving grace is not tenable at all."

"No, it doesn't count as saving his life?" Luo Yanxing was a little confused, "Then why did he come to us to repay his life-saving grace?"

She had thought that 100 taels was a bit too much before, but she did feel that she had done a good thing today, although not everyone would come to her to thank her afterwards.

But on the way to the county government office, those who recognized her would come forward to thank her.

Chen Yunze came from a wealthy family and was generous, so it was understandable that his thanks were not just verbal thanks like ordinary people.

Song Ying saw what she was thinking and said, "100 taels of silver is a lot of money for a rich family."

"Is that so?" Luo Yanxing suddenly felt that the 100 taels of silver in his purse were a little hot. "Then why did he give me so much?"

Song Ying glanced at Yuan Qing. "He should have known Yuan Qing for a long time, and he is trying to establish a relationship with him by taking advantage of this so-called life-saving favor."

"Impossible!" Song Tian was the first to refute, "He is a young man from a wealthy family, why would he bother to establish friendship with Yuan Qing?"

Not only him, but even Luo Yanxing and others couldn't believe it and reminded Song Ying: "Not only does West Street seem to be full of shops, but famous shops such as Jin Man Lou and Tian Xiang Lou are all owned by him."

Although Yuan Shan also felt that it was a bit absurd, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that this was true, so she said, "How can it be impossible? My brother is in Jiahu Academy, and the people he interacts with are all sons of officials. No matter how rich Mr. Chen's family is, they are still the lowest class of merchants!"

Song Ying looked at Luo Yanxing and the others and sighed secretly in his heart. People from the lowest social class can be bullied by anyone, whether they are businessmen or officials. They cannot afford to offend them and cannot tell the difference, so they are all called rich families.

Therefore, they divide classes according to money.

In their eyes, Yuan Qing, whose family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, was the same low-class person as them, or even worse off; while Chen Yunze, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was someone who was out of their reach.

Little did they know that Yuan Qingzao was not the same person as them. He was a serious scholar, unlike Song Tian and others who went to school to learn a few words.

The county magistrate is a scholar, the prefect is a scholar, the provincial governor is a scholar, and the chief minister of the cabinet is also a scholar.

And with the talent Yuan Qing has shown now, he will be one of them sooner or later.

Therefore, the magistrate treated him favorably and did not let him kneel before the official. They had to call themselves "common people" in front of the magistrate, while Yuan Qing called himself a student.

Daqian is the world of scholars!
