I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

"Who is that?" Ye Ze pointed at Wai Liu'er who was standing there in a daze. He felt that this person looked familiar. He searched carefully in the original owner's memory. Haha, he didn't expect that he was actually an acquaintance!

Wai Liu'er's surprised expression had not yet disappeared. When he saw Brother Hu looking at him unkindly, he panicked and knelt down directly: "Big, big brother..."

"Boss, he is not one of ours. How can a small fry like him be worthy of following you, boss?" Brother Hu explained quickly.

Ye Ze looked at Wai Liu'er and smiled, ignoring him. He turned to Brother Hu and said, "Get in the car. I have something to discuss with you."

"Hey, hurry up and bring all the things onto the ox cart," Brother Hu waved to his younger brothers.

The three of them moved the gifts that Brother Hu had prepared in advance from the carriage onto the ox cart, and then moved the carriage to the side to allow Ye Ze's ox cart to pass first.

"These are all for your honor, Boss. I don't know if you like them or not." Brother Tiger turned around and jumped onto the ox cart, and asked, "Boss, what did you want to tell me just now?"

Ye Ze took a look at the things Brother Hu sent, and drove the ox cart forward: "Is this so? Do people in your business often recruit others to join the game?"

"Ah?" Brother Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly cleared himself: "Well, I've never done such a thing..."

Ye Ze: "If you haven't done it, then someone has done it?"

"Uh... Hehe, yes, right." Tiger replied vaguely. He was still wondering why the boss asked this?

"That's enough, just listen to me..." Ye Ze didn't wait for him to think more, he lowered his voice and told Brother Hu about his plan.

Brother Hu was stunned at first, then he nodded seriously and took note of Ye Ze's words.

The ox cart was not moving fast, so Brother Hu's three younger brothers drove the horse-drawn carriage and followed behind Ye Ze's ox cart uncomfortably.

As for Wai Liu'er, he was thrown into the wind by Brother Hu's men. He couldn't understand why Ye Ze always looked down on them. How did he end up hanging out with Brother Hu?

Wait, did Brother Hu just call Ye San'er the boss? In other words...Oh my god, Brother Hu has recognized him as the boss, so if he wants to take revenge on me, wouldn't it be easy? Wai Liu'er's legs went weak, and he swallowed hard as he watched the ox cart going away.

Wai Liu'er had no idea that Ye Ze didn't take him seriously at all. He had offended the original owner, but the original owner didn't let him get away with it, so they were even.

When they arrived at Qingshui Town, Brother Hu asked the people following behind to go back to the gambling house first, while he followed behind Ye Ze and was on standby at any time.

Ye Ze came to the town mainly to learn about the characteristics and quality of items of this era. Most of the things he used came from the mall, but it was better to be cautious when giving gifts to people.

"Do you know which is the largest bookstore in town?" Ye Ze asked.

There is no place in Qingshui Town that Brother Hu doesn't know. "The largest bookstore is Qingfeng Bookstore, which is near Qingfeng Academy."

Qingfeng Academy?

Ye Ze knew this place. Isn’t Shen Wenren studying in Qingfeng Academy now?

Qingfeng Bookstore was on West Street. Ye Ze parked the ox cart outside the door, handed it to Brother Hu to look after, and walked inside.

As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Shen Wenren standing in front of the counter and talking to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Young master, please don't embarrass me. You copied this book very neatly, but the boss has ordered that this bookstore will no longer accept your books."

Shen Wenren was a little annoyed and helpless. He clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, but his face remained elegant and calm. "If that's the case, then forget it."

Shen Wenren wrapped up a few books on the counter, turned around and was about to leave. When he looked up, he saw Ye Ze standing at the door and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Brother Shen?" Ye Ze pretended not to notice his embarrassment, bowed and greeted him, then walked in.

"Brother Ye..." Shen Wenren returned the greeting and left in a hurry.

Shen Wenren is a good person, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong family. It is said that the four classes of people are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and farmers are the second. In fact, farmers have the hardest life. They have no money and no power. If a wise ruler is in power, it is possible for a truly talented farmer to pass the imperial examination and even become the top scholar. However, the world is in decline, officials and businessmen are colluding, and it is not easy for poor people to get ahead through the imperial examination.

Ye Ze shook his head. These were not things he could control just because he wanted to.

"What do you want to buy, sir?"

The shopkeeper's voice brought Ye Ze back to his senses. Ye Ze bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have any good study supplies here?"

The shopkeeper did not neglect Ye Ze because of his coarse clothes. He smiled and said, "Qingfeng Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Qingshui Town. If I don't have good books here, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anything good even if you search the whole town."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out a set of four treasures of the study and placed them on the counter, inviting Ye Ze to examine them. "Young Master, are you satisfied with them?"

Is this good? Ye Ze looked at it and compared it with the things in his own mall. In the future, all the pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones needed for the clan school will be purchased in the mall. Naturally, it is better to buy items that are closer to this era.

"Is there anything better?" The set that the shopkeeper took out was just average, Ye Ze asked.

The shopkeeper said calmly, "Of course we have them." He then took out a few wooden boxes from the back and placed them on the counter, opening them one by one. "Young Master, please have a look."

......

Coming out of the bookstore, Ye Ze had a set of study tools and a few books in his hands.

After getting on the ox cart, he went straight to the gambling house with Brother Hu.

There were not many people in the gambling house. There were only a few tables where people were shouting loudly for big or small bets, as if they could win as long as their voices were loud enough. When the dice cups were opened, people would sigh or laugh.

It's really speechless. I don't know what these people are trying to do by coming here to gamble? Nine out of ten people lose money. Isn't this just giving money to the casino in disguise? Once these gamblers get addicted to gambling, it's hard to quit!

Brother Hu saw that Ye Ze was not interested, so he asked, "Boss, do you want to play a game?"

Ye Ze shook his head: "Not interested."

"Yes, yes, there's really nothing interesting to see. Just take a look." Brother Hu agreed.

After taking Ye Ze for a walk inside and seeing that he really had no interest, Brother Hu led him to the backyard to have tea and rest.

There were tea and snacks on the round table. Brother Hu poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Ye Ze. "Boss, have some tea. I wonder if the snacks prepared by the brothers will suit your taste. Would you like to try them?"

Ye Ze slowly picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite, then nodded and said, "Well, not bad, you can sit down too."

"Okay," Brother Hu sat next to Ye Ze stiffly. The two of them were not familiar with each other at all. Brother Hu had no idea what kind of personality Ye Ze had. If Ye Ze didn't speak, he could only awkwardly find topics to talk about:

"Well, Boss, I heard that there are a lot of refugees outside the county town recently. The city gates are closed. Boss, you'd better not go to the county town if you have nothing to do. It's a mess there."
