When Chu Jiang woke up, he didn't know how long it took.

After rubbing his eyes, the sky was completely dark outside the carriage.

Seeing Jia Xu who had already opened his eyes at some point, Chu Jiang called out obediently: "Sir."

Nodded, Jia Xu looked gentle: "Awake up? Drink some water to wake up and wake up sleepy. We will be there later."

Nodding, Chu Jiang picked up the water bag and took a sip of water, then looked out. In the distance, the outline of a dark city had appeared in his sight.

When the old coachman drove the carriage to the city, the city gate was closed.

However, the old coachman didn't mind at all.

After parked the carriage at the gate of the city, the old coachman shouted at the city tower at the top of his throat: "Wang Er, open the door!"

A sound full of energy sounded in Chu Jiang's ears, which made Chu Jiang look at the old coachman in surprise. Unexpectedly, the old coachman seemed to be very old, but he was quite strong.

The old coachman's voice was full of energy spread in the darkness. Soon, a ray of fire lighted up on the city tower. At the same time, a cursing voice also came from above: "What is it called? It's mourning! I want to enter the city, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"

Listening to the sound, he should be the night watchman at the city gate.

Hearing the sound, the old coachman cursed: "Wang Er, you little bastard, who are you crying? Hurry up and open the door to the county magistrate, otherwise you will feel better when you look back."

The old coachman seemed to be very familiar with the night watchman on the city tower, and he was not polite in his words.

At this moment, in the city gate tower, a middle-aged man was scolded by the old coachman. He was about to fall back and sleep again and suddenly woke up a little, and then he felt that his voice was a little familiar.

He is the night watchman at the city gate here, Wang Er.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Er suddenly remembered that the voice of Lao Wu, the county magistrate's coachman, was just now. He immediately cried and got up, walked to the city wall with a lantern, and shouted tentatively: "Old Wu?"

Hearing the sound, Old Wu laughed and scolded: "Who else can I have if it's not me? Open the door quickly, the county magistrate is waiting."

At this time, with the light of the lanterns, Wang Er finally saw the carriage at the gate of the city wall and the old coachman sitting on the carriage.

After confirming the identity of the outsider from the city gate, Wang Er's tone was immediately much more polite: "Hehe, it turns out that the county magistrate is back. Old Wu, wait, I'll ask those little guys to open the door for the county magistrate."

"Move quickly!"

The coachman Lao Wu replied angrily.

"That's sure." Wang Er replied with a smile. He walked down the city tower and looked at the guards leaning against the wall in the city gate, who were sleeping like dead pigs. He kicked the butt with anger: "Sleep and sleep, you will know how to sleep. The county magistrate is back. Get up and open the door for the adults."

After being kicked by Wang Er like this, several guards woke up.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Wang Er's kicks, Wang Er was the leader here. At most, they could only curse in their hearts and work together to open the city gate.

Following the half-open city gate, the carriage finally entered the small city.

When the carriage entered the city, Wang Er ordered the guards to close the city gate, while greeting the old coachman with a familiar look: "Old Wu, why are you back so late today?"

"Some things have been delayed for a while." As he said, Lao Wu skillfully took out a hanging of money from his arms and threw it at Wang Er: "It's very hard to keep the gate in the middle of the night, so I'll take a little money to buy wine."

Jia Xu would not come forward to such trivial matters. As a coachman, he naturally had to deal with the worldly affairs.

After taking the money thrown by Lao Wu, Wang Er smiled and said, "I'm so embarrassed."

However, as he said sorry, Wang Er quickly stuffed the money into his arms.

Seeing this, Old Wu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "I know I'm sorry, so I'll open the door quickly next time."

As he said that, Lao Wu drove into the city in a carriage.

"That's sure, Old Wu will walk slowly!" As he said, Wang Er turned around and saw the eyes of several guards looking over. He waved his hand angrily: "What are you looking at? Go to sleep? When did I buy wine, I have less than you guys."

Hearing the sound, several guards burst into laughter and then went to bed.

Seeing this, Wang Er also smiled and muttered something to go back to the city gate tower to sleep.

It was late at night and everyone in the city had already fallen asleep. Except for the occasional sound of clamoring people, the small town was silent, making the sound of horse hooves stepping on the road look particularly crisp.

In the carriage, Jia Xu, who was freely leaning on the carriage, guessed that it was still a long way to reach his residence. When he was bored, he looked at Chu Jiang who was sitting in the carriage and felt a little moved in his heart. He immediately said, "Jiang'er-Xu can call you like this, right?"

Seeing Chu Jiang nodding, Jia Xu continued, "Jiang'er, you saw it at the city gate just now. Do you know why Wang Er didn't want to open the door at first, but then opened it again?"

Chu Jiang thought about it in thought for a while, and then said, "Thank you, I just heard them call you Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.

He smiled and nodded, Jia Xu said, "It's not bad for you to say this. Xu is the county magistrate of this county, and he is the first person under the county magistrate. It's not wrong to say that he is a high-ranking official here."

After pausing, Jia Xu continued, "Then Jiang'er, Xu is the county magistrate here, and Wang Er is just a guard, so it is duty to open the door for Xu. Do you know why Lao Wu had to pay Wang Er's money in the end?"

Looking at Jia Xu's smiling look, Chu Jiang scratched his head innocence: "Mr. Hui, Jiang doesn't know."

Seeing this, Jia Xu was not angry either. After all, it is normal for an ordinary child of six or seven to not understand the world.

He just smiled slightly and explained, "Jiang'er, you have to remember what Xu said below. Since you have become Xu's book boy, Xu will naturally teach you something. This is the first lesson Xu taught you."

"Everyone in the world seeks profit. Most people only seek profit in their lives. If they want to use others for their own use and use power to suppress others is the worst strategy, and the best strategy is to use profit and temptation. Xu is the county magistrate, so that Wang Er can open the door, and even if he doesn't reward him at all, he can't say anything. But once or twice can do this. If Wang Er doesn't say it for a long time, even if Wang Er doesn't say it, he will definitely feel resentful in his heart. If Xu has something to do, he will inevitably be passive and neglect. On the contrary, he opens the door for Xu and rewards him with some money. Although it is not much, he will let him know that it is profitable to do things for Xu. In this way, if Xu sends him in the future, he will definitely do his best. Do you understand what Xu said?"

Hearing Jia Xu say this, Chu Jiang curled his lips in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he suddenly realized: "Oh, sir, I understand!"

Jia Xu originally thought that he was still a long way away from home, and he said a few words when he was free, but in fact he didn't really expect Chu Jiang, a six or seven-year-old boy, to understand anything. When he heard Chu Jiang say this, he was stunned. Then he looked at Chu Jiang with interest and said with a smile: "Oh? Then Jiang'er, you're talking."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang immediately spoke, "Grandpa Wu said just now, let Wang Er open the door quickly next time. Does the sir mean that if he doesn't reward Wang Er, then although he still wants to open the door for the sir next time, it will be delayed. If the sir rewards him, then he will open the door quickly next time for the sir - does that mean?"

Hearing Chu Jiang say this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Jia Xu's eyes. He laughed at himself without thinking about it - he almost forgot that he was just a six or seven-year-old boy.

A child of six or seven years old is already extremely smart to be able to judge things based on his words.

It seems that even though it was really just my own illusion before, I would not lose if I picked up such an extremely intelligent book boy.

Nodding, Jia Xu smiled and said, "That's what it means. However, not only is this the case when opening the door, but many other things are the same. You will understand this when you grow up."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang nodded obediently: "Yes, sir. Jiang remembers it."

Looking at Chu Jiang's obedient appearance, Jia Xu smiled softly.

In front of him, he arrived at his mansion in the city.
