Good luck every time

Chen Panpan didn't know why she was called here. After living a life that was like confinement for a period of time, she had become well-behaved and no longer tried to seduce Zhao Qi.

He just wanted to wait until Zhao Qi got married so that he could get closer to the young lady and see if there would be more opportunities.

Chen Panpan walked forward and saluted respectfully.

"Son..."

When she wasn't seducing Zhao Qi, she was quite similar to Li Ruyi in her indifferent manner.

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately.

"Get up!"

Chen Panpan stood up and Zhao Qi glanced at her twice. Now he felt that they were not as similar as before.

"I just have something I want to ask you."

Chen Panpan lowered her head and was very well behaved.

"I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know."

Zhao Qi nodded.

"Yes! I just want to know, if you were to choose between me and Han Shian, who would you choose?"

Chen Panpan wanted to seduce Han Shian, so she naturally learned about this man's life before going.

She is the only person around Zhao Qi who can tell the whole story!

How could Chen Panpan dare to tell the truth about such a life-threatening question?

"I am not lucky enough to please you two gentlemen, but if there is such an opportunity, I will choose you, sir!"

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and asked her again.

"If you were Li Ruyi, who would you choose?"

Chen Panpan: …

Didn’t Li Ruyi choose them all?!

you ask me?

She was silent for a moment, then spoke tactfully.

"I have been with Miss Li for a few days and I think she is a chivalrous person, but she is not very kind-hearted. I don't think she is a tolerant person!"

Zhao Qi understood what Chen Panpan meant by "intolerant".

Doesn't it just mean that Li Ruyi doesn't like her man to have affairs with other women?

Zhao Qi thought that it was not impossible for him to live with Li Ruyi.

But after this thought came to his mind, he quickly suppressed it.

As the eldest son of the Zhao family, he has his own responsibilities. Unless he becomes a useless person, the girl from the Qin family will look down on him and take the initiative to cancel the engagement.

Otherwise, as long as he is alive, the other party will definitely marry him.

Even if he died quickly, the Qin family girl might marry him holding his tablet...

However, Zhao Qi could not accept the reason given by Chen Panpan.

"Will Han Shian definitely treat her wholeheartedly? How old are they? How many people have they experienced?"

"She didn't even dare to put you next to Han Shian to let you test Han Shian's sincerity. How can you say that Han Shian will definitely not take a concubine in the future?"

Chen Panpan felt that Zhao Qi was particularly sharp today, and every question he asked was like a knife on her neck.

"This... this slave doesn't know."

After hearing this, Zhao Qi glanced at Chen Panpan, sneered, picked up the teacup from beside him, took a sip and put it down again.

The water is at just the right temperature and the tea leaves are of the best quality.

The brewing technique alone is much more sophisticated than ordinary tea brewing.

He has always had the best food, clothing, housing and transportation at home, without exception.

He didn't understand, what was the difference between these things and the simple meals outside?

Zhao Qi really couldn't think of anything and was too troubled. He intuitively thought that Chen Panpan could give him an answer.

"If this is all you can say, then there is no need for you to exist!"

Chen Panpan's heart tightened.

During this period of time, she has been very quiet and careful not to let others remember her, just to fish in troubled waters and endure this difficult time in the Zhao family first.

But she didn't expect that even though she had tried very hard, she couldn't stop others from looking for her.

Zhao Qi had said so much, and Chen Panpan knew that the other party was really anxious, so she gritted her teeth and thought, since she was going to die anyway, she might as well give it a try!

She made her choice in a split second.

"Sir, it's not that I don't want to say more, I just really don't know. However, if you insist, I will tell you a reason."

"That's probably because Miss Ruyi has never seen a good life!"

"She usually eats simple meals and wears coarse linen clothes. How can she understand what those exquisite delicacies taste like?"

Zhao Qi was silent for a moment before speaking.

"continue!"

Chen Panpan: …

She raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhao Qi's reaction, and then continued.

"You are a priceless treasure. She comes from a humble family and has never seen you before!"

Zhao Qi sneered.

"I am the priceless treasure that is easy to obtain, and Han Shian is the rare lover?"

Chen Panpan panicked and lowered her head again.

However, Zhao Qi was not as angry as before.

At least Chen Panpan didn't treat him like a fool.

Chen Panpan's words made him understand some things.

Zhao Qi's understanding of the environment and himself is not accurate enough, but he is not a fool.

Many of the things Li Ruyi had said to him before only came to his mind at this moment.

His fingertips tapped lightly on the smooth mahogany tabletop, and each tap was like a death knell in Chen Panpan's heart.

After a while, Zhao Qi spoke.

"I have long been unable to be with Li Ruyi. All I want is an answer in my heart."

"I want to see Han Shian and why Li Ruyi chose him instead of me."

"After seeing it, I felt that it was nothing special."

Some of Zhao Qi's innocence slowly faded away, and his mood gradually calmed down.

"Your words made me understand some things. After all, Li Ruyi and I are not the same kind of people!"

"Today, I saw Li Ruyi showing up in public, and I felt that she was at a disadvantage. I also felt that if I were her man, I should protect her from the wind and rain."

"But Han Shian had no reaction when he saw her like that."

"I have seen girls from farming families. They never follow the rule of never leaving the house. They have to work outside like men and take care of the household."

"Li Ruyi said that was all the freedom she had."

“I didn’t understand it before, but now I believe it!”

Chen Panpan knew that Zhao Qi had been holding these words in his heart for a long time and had no one to talk to.

Zhao Qi didn't need her to answer, he just wanted someone to stand in the room while he was talking, so that it wouldn't be empty.

After saying these words, Zhao Qi laughed at himself, thought of the stupid things he had done, and closed his eyes.

When you open your eyes, you become two points sharper.

"Li Ruyi is indeed a smart person. If she really wanted to enter the mansion, she would have been sent away by now with a bowl of medicine!"

Chen Panpan's pupils dilated violently when he heard this.

God!

Is this something she can listen to?

After hearing this, can she still leave the Zhao family?

Zhao Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"My grandmother always thought I was not making progress and that I had too little experience. I used to be unconvinced and thought that I had seen so many beautiful places and should be the most knowledgeable person in the family."

"Now it seems that even the highest mountains are no match for the human heart."

He held the teacup in front of his eyes and casually looked at the patterns on it. He felt that this sip was not as delicious as the previous one.

"But I don't quite understand. Li Ruyi is relying on the fact that he is my savior, so it's normal for him to be a little bit unbridled, but what does Han Shian rely on?"

"Isn't he afraid that I can just move my finger and make him unable to stay in the capital?"

Chen Panpan's breathing changed for a moment. Zhao Qi put down the teacup, raised his head and looked at Chen Panpan.

I found that Chen Panpan was even more respectful at this moment than before.

He was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what his grandmother had told him about the art of ruling people, saying that he indulged his servants...

If you want to integrate truth into life, you must always experience some touching things.

What the old lady of the Zhao family did was right. Li Ruyi was the medicine inducer for Zhao Qi. She made Zhao Qi grow up in a very short time.

Zhao Qi suddenly felt a little lonely.

As soon as he said goodbye to his previous self, he began to miss the carefree Zhao Qi.

"You go down!"

After hearing this, Chen Panpan felt as if she had been pardoned. She stepped back out the door and left.

Zhao Qi watched her actions and didn't say anything.

Since Chen Panpan has lived to this day, she naturally knows what to say and what not to say.

Li Ruyi didn't know about Zhao Qi's change.

She had been busy all day, and only stretched herself after she saw off the last customer and locked the shop.

"This is more tiring than practicing martial arts!"

She had never practiced her posture in her life, and her body was not used to the feeling of carrying it like this all day.

Li Shiliu hurriedly came over and handed her a pot of tea before Sun Jingwen could.

Li Ruyi looked around but couldn't find the teacup. He felt the temperature and poured the cold tea into his mouth.

Someone is already cooking in the backyard.

But Li Ruyi didn't have time to eat, she had to count today's revenue.

There is no rush to eat.

The same as her are Li Shiliu and Sun Deshan.

Sun Deshan sent his sons to eat, while he took the scales and weighed the silver with Li Ruyi.

There are many families in the city who use silver. After all, it is much more convenient to carry ten taels of silver when going out than ten strings of copper coins.

Not everyone cares about the difference in the exchange rate between copper coins and silver.

At least there are still many wealthy people in the city.

However, Li Ruyi also sent people to the silver shop to check the price of silver these days, and roughly estimated a price that would not make him lose money, and gave it to people as change, or gave them a little more when they bought things.

After calculating the day's revenue, Li Shiliu fell eerily silent.

Li Ruyi kept all the money.

She even built a special cabinet to store her money.

The cabinet was placed next to her bed. It could not only store money, but also serve as a bedside table and hold tea, candlesticks and the like.

Li Ruyi collected the money and went to eat.

Everyone had finished eating by now and the dining room was empty.

Li Shiliu had no appetite.

Sun Deshan's face was full of joy.

Han Shian knew that Li Ruyi would come over, so he waited aside and read a book.

Li Ruyi took out the dish reserved for her from the pot and went to sit with Han Shian.

Han Shian saw her coming and put down the book to look at her.

“How was the revenue today?”

Li Ruyi smiled brightly.

"No wonder everyone wants to open a store. It really makes a lot of money. However, after these three days, there won't be so many people here."

"I figured if I could keep 30%, that would be enough to make a lot of money."

Han Shian saw her eyes shining and smiled too.

"That's good!"

He didn't mention that Zhao Qi came to see him today.

Zhao Qi didn’t know why Han Shian was so arrogant, and he didn’t know that Han Shian was actually waiting for him to do something!

Han Shian looks very gentle, but his methods are not gentle at all.

Zhao Qi's bullying will become the reason for Han Shian's counterattack.

How hard he is going to hit the Zhao family depends on Zhao Qi's attitude towards him!

Who among those who can climb up from the bottom has not fought their way through blood and rain?

The reason why Han Shian and Li Ruyi have such a good understanding with each other is not only because they grew up together, but also because they both have similar obsessions.

In her previous life, Li Ruyi figured out a lot of things in the last two years of her life.

Han Shian also gained self-awareness while serving as an official.

Kindness is a card that cannot be played alone. If it is not accompanied by a sharp blade, it is weak and can be bullied.

However, Han Shian misjudged Zhao Qi.

Although Zhao Qi didn't know what he relied on, he really had no plans to target him.

The only person Zhao Qi cares about is Li Ruyi.

He wanted to see, if Han Shian really passed the examination to become a scholar or a juren, what kind of attitude would he have when facing Li Ruyi, who was a person who showed up in public and had no idea what female virtues were, and what kind of result would Li Ruyi get.

Can I still be free from suspicion like I am now?

If this is true, Zhao Qi will admit defeat with all his heart.

If not for this, the down-and-out Li Ruyi would have been his obsession without its halo, and he could treat her as he pleased.

No matter how Zhao Qi grows up, it is difficult for a man to face up to the brilliance of a woman in such a world.

They just wanted to turn this woman into an inkstone to be played with at any time on the table, or a treasure vase to be placed at the door for quiet viewing...

I like it but I just like it!

Li Ruyi continued to talk to him.

"I'm also planning to find a bookkeeper. Do you have any recommendations?"

Li Ruyi wants to choose someone from the Han family.

She has always been very skilled in the art of balance, and Han Shian understood what she meant as soon as she heard it.

Unfortunately, Han Shian's relationship with the Han family is weak. Even if Li Ruyi offers him a favor, he is not going to use it to get closer to the Han clan leader.

He shook his head.

"Many people in the Han family are well-educated, and there are a few who can write, but they are just average to me, and I don't know what kind of character they are."

"If you want an opinion, I think Mr. Xiaoman will definitely understand it better than you and me."

After hearing this, Li Ruyi couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right! She probably knows all the literate children in the village. I'll send a message back later and ask her to help me choose."

Han Shian sighed when he heard the message.

"I don't know when someone will bring my letter."

Li Ruyi was about to eat when he suddenly felt guilty.

She has been too busy recently, let alone replying to Han Shian, she hasn't even read Han Shian's letter.

She pretended not to understand and took two mouthfuls of mixed grain rice.

"By the way, are you going to the academy in the city or to the Zhuangyuan Building these days?"

"I heard that the Zhuangyuan Building has been very lively recently. There are new styles of literary competitions every day, and there are even rewards for participating."

Han Shian nodded.

"Yes! I have to go too, otherwise my reputation won't be loud enough and it will affect the examiner's attitude."

What Han Shian was talking about was related to Da Qi's examination marking system.
