Listening to Li Zhi's words, Mrs. Zheng was in despair, but then she saw Li Zhi smiling. Seeing that her son was not disappointed and could even laugh, Mrs. Zheng looked surprised. Li Zhi had not been
She was bullied for being too smart, but she was not stupid. How could she still laugh when she heard that she was going to be a servant? Could it be that she was under the pressure of having no money to pay off her debts and had really become stupid? After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Zheng still asked
Said: "Zhi'er, how can you still laugh in this situation?"
Li Zhi walked to the water tank, raised the ladle and drank a spoonful of water, and then said: "Mom, don't worry, I have my own way of raising money, and I don't need the help of Second Grandpa."
Traveling back to this young man in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi has accepted all kinds of relationships between relatives and friends of this young man. These relationships are the foundation for Li Zhi to settle down in this era, and Li Zhi cannot give up. For example, calling Mrs. Zheng his mother-in-law
, Li Zhi screamed without any mental barriers.
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement and she asked excitedly: "Zhi'er, what can you do?"
Li Zhi looked at Zheng, thinking about how to save this family on the verge of bankruptcy.
Before time travel, Li Zhi was an experienced industrial designer.
The so-called industrial designer designs the appearance and overall structure of industrial products. Because of this job, Li Zhi has been exposed to a variety of industrial products. For every design, Li Zhi needs to understand the production process and technology of the product in detail, so that
Only then can the design be completed based on reality.
After many years of working in the industry, Li Zhi is familiar with the production of many modern products. From transparent erasers for children to fake brand bicycles, Li Zhi has taken on many cases and has a detailed understanding of their structures and production processes. Although large
Most modern products require a complete supporting industrial system and cannot be produced in a vacuum. However, some products have simple manufacturing methods and can be produced using local methods.
Traveling to the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zhi had just enough knowledge to show off his skills. With this kind of knowledge, Li Zhi believed that he could change the fate of the Li family.
"Mom, don't worry, I will certainly have a way. You will know when I do it."
Mrs. Zheng looked at Li Zhi with some disbelief. When had this child, who was called stupid and stupid, ever said such confident words? But out of her confidence in her child, Ms. Zheng seemed to believe it a little more.
"Mom, just wait at home with peace of mind, I will naturally raise the money!"
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Ms. Zheng was a little happy. Not to mention that in this desperate situation, there was some hope because of Li Zhi's words, which was exciting. She said that she had always been stupid and unable to say a word all day long.
My son can now say comforting words, which is also a happy thing.
Li Zhi didn't say anything, and Zheng didn't ask any more questions. He just lowered his head and walked back to the main room and continued to sit in front of the loom.
Seeing Mrs. Zheng return to the main room, Li Zhi put down the water ladle.
In the Ming Dynasty, men were superior to women. Now that his father Li Cheng has passed away and Li Zhi has grown up, Li Zhi is the head of the family. There are still five copper coins left in the family, all of which are under Li Zhi's care. Li Zhi held the copper coins in his sleeves and thought about it.
I was doing something to earn money and pay back the money, while walking towards the road outside the yard.
After walking out of the yard, Li Zhi saw a familiar man and woman walking from the front within a few steps.
"Cui He! Wait for me. Why are you ignoring me?"
Hearing the call, Li Zhi turned around and saw a heart-warming and beautiful figure walking towards him.
The girl was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a peach-pointed bun on her head, a bright red hook-and-loop cotton jacket on her upper body, a green floral skirt of plain white gauze and silk on her lower body, and silk embroidered and carved bow shoes on her feet, which was bright and moving.
Probably one of the most beautiful women in Tianjin Wei City is Cui He, the daughter of Prime Minister Cui's family.
Cui Xianggong was a scholar, that is, a scholar, with a transcendent status. His family was engaged in the spice trade in Nanyang, and he was one of the few wealthy households in Jingbianfang, Dongcheng.
The young man walking behind was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head and a satin straight skirt under his leather jacket. He was quite handsome. But his slender face had a sinister look.
He was so angry that he lost the awe of a man. This man was the eldest son of Xiao from Jingbianfang in Dongcheng, his name was Xiao Guangwei.
The Xiao family was engaged in the pearl business in Nanyang and had considerable wealth. The money owed by Li Zhi's family was borrowed from the Xiao family.
Cui He and Xiao Guangwei grew up in the same neighborhood as Li Zhi. They are similar in age and are childhood playmates who are very familiar with each other. Although Cui He and Xiao Guangwei were walking back and forth at this time, Cui He obviously didn't pay attention to those who were chasing behind them.
Xiao Guangwei walked quickly until he saw Li Zhi coming out.
Seeing Li Zhi coming out, Cui He stopped and said with a smile: "Li Zhi, I heard that you went to borrow money."
Li Zhi nodded and replied: "I didn't borrow it!"
Cui He pursed his lips and asked curiously: "If you can't borrow money, your yard will be taken away to pay off the debt. What will the three members of your family do?"
After looking at the curious Cui He, Li Zhi said calmly: "My second grandfather said that if I can't raise the money, he will be a guarantor for Li Xing and me and become servants."
When Cui He heard this, he chuckled heartlessly and said, "Are you going to be a servant? Then go to my house and be a servant. Seeing that you are so honest, I won't beat or scold you on weekdays!"
"
Although Li Zhi has been stupid since he was a child, Cui He has never disliked Li Zhi. To describe Li Zhi's stupidity as honesty is to take care of Li Zhi's emotions in this context.
During these few words, Xiao Guangwei had already caught up with him. Xiao Guangwei had always liked Cui He, but Cui He didn't like him very much. At this time, when he saw Cui He smiling and talking to Li Zhi, his face turned gloomy, and he
I want to attack Li Zhi.
"Li Zhi, do you still have the nerve to play around here? There are still three months left, and the money you owe my family is about to expire. The principal is sixty taels, and you can borrow it for half a year with five-cent interest. The total principal and interest is seventy-eight taels." He started shaking.
Shaking his sleeves, Xiao Guangwei said: "If the money is not paid, the yard your family mortgaged to my family will belong to my Xiao family. Do you understand?"
Li Zhi replied calmly: "I understand."
Seeing that Li Zhi was still stupid and could only answer according to his own words, Xiao Guangwei sneered and said: "Then you still dare to talk to the eldest lady of the Cui family here? You will be a homeless refugee from now on, and you will go to other people's homes at most.
Be a servant! How dare you joke with the eldest lady of the Cui family?"
When Cui He heard Xiao Guangwei talking about him and not letting Li Zhi talk to him, Cui He glared and was about to scold Xiao Guangwei when he heard Li Zhi say: "Xiao Guangwei, don't be anxious, you still have three months to borrow money."
When it's due, I'll return the money to you, and you won't have to make noise like this."
"you!!"
Hearing Li Zhi choke him, Xiao Guangwei was furious. How dare a low-class person living on the street pretend to be big in front of him? This made Xiao Guangwei very unhappy and cursed: "Don't offend me by trying to be big.
Will I be rude to you when the house is taken over?"
"You're going to take over my house. You've done everything possible, so how can you be so polite to me?"
Being choked by Li Zhi again, Xiao Guangwei couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and his face turned red with anger. When did this silly Li Zhi become so clever? He couldn't beat him!
Cui He saw Li Zhi's words and asked curiously: "Li Zhi, what can you do? How can you raise so much money?"
Seeing that the beauty cared so much about him, Li Zhi patted his chest and said loudly: "Of course I have a way, just wait for my good news."
Seeing Li Zhi's confident look, Cui He also became happy. He tapped his toes and said, "Okay, I'll just wait to see you make a lot of money to pay off your debts."
Li Zhi winked at Cui He and walked towards Dongcheng Heng Street. Cui He chuckled when he saw Li Zhi winking at him, and Xiao Guangwei was so angry that he was half dead.
