"Brother Zhang."

In the side yard of Zhang's family, a man put on Zhang Jin's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'm upset today. Brother Zhang will accompany me to have a drink."

It was already past the time for the Zhang family to have lunch. If it were on weekdays, Zhang Jin would not have followed the people out, so as not to be seen by his elder brother and wait for an opportunity to humiliate him.

But he was so angry at lunch today that he was feeling suffocated, "You wait a moment, I'll go back to the house to get the silver."

The man grabbed him and said, "Forget it, you still have to keep the little money for the time being. I've got some money recently, I'll treat you."

Zhang Jin followed him out of the Zhang family and got into the carriage. When the carriage stopped, the man lifted the curtain. When he saw that it was Yueke coming to the restaurant, he immediately shouted, "You are crazy, where is this where we can come?"

Both of them are illegitimate sons, and Zhou Geng is not in any better condition than him, otherwise they would not have become good friends. Their monthly payment is not enough to have a meal at the restaurant in Yueke."

Zhou Geng took out a silver note from his arms and shook it in front of him, "This is twenty taels, enough for us to have a meal."

Zhang Jin widened his eyes, "Where did you get the money?"

Zhou Geng put away the silver notes, "Don't worry about this, go in with me with a steadfast meal."

Although he is a concubine of the Zhang family, he has lived a worse life than ordinary children. Zhang Jin has never been to the happy guest before, smelling the aroma of the food that ran out of it.

Then he gritted his teeth, got off the carriage, and followed Zhou Geng to the second floor.

It is worthy of being the best restaurant in the county, and even the decoration and interior decoration are different from other restaurants.

The guy came in with the recipe. Zhou Geng ordered four dishes in one breath. Zhang Jin felt relieved when he saw that he still had the tendency to order, so he hurriedly stopped him, "Enough, enough!"

No matter how much they have, they will have no money to pay.

Zhou Geng ordered another pot of wine.

The guy stepped down and quickly brought the wine and food. Zhou Geng raised his glass, "Come on, Brother Zhang, drink."

Zhang Jin drank it all in one go, put down the wine glass, picked up the wine pot, and gave it to Zhou Gengman, "Brother Zhou tell me where you got the money from. If there is any good thing, I will also give you a handful of it."

"I have nothing good to do, it's just a coincidence."

"What coincidence?"

Zhou Geng smiled mysteriously and did not respond.

After living under Zhang Huai's oppression for a long time, Zhang Jin has long been able to learn the ability to look at people's expressions. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he didn't ask too much, and poured himself a glass, "Come on, drink."

"Actually, you can get more money than me."

Zhou Geng drank the wine, leaned forward, and whispered.

Zhang Jin paused, put down his wine glass, and lowered his voice, "Speak up."

Zhou Geng did not continue to say it, but asked, "Do you know that something big happened to Renhe Academy today."

His tone turned abruptly, and Zhang Jin didn't react at once, "What?"

"Your good brother, who was born in the legitimate family, yesterday invited a student from the academy to copy books. This morning, he falsely accused someone of stealing the family heirloom jade pendant from your Zhang family. The student was kicked out of the academy because of this. That student is the most promising high school in Renhe Academy."

Zhang Jin narrowed his eyes, moved his body back, leaning against the back of the chair, thinking about Zhang Huai's arrogant attitude during lunch today. What did he say at that time?

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely win the championship this year and become the top spot in Renhe Academy."

Mr. Zhang laughed happily and gave him one thousand taels of silver immediately.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Geng raised his wine glass and took a sip. Zhang Jin looked at him, with a fierce and fierce look, "What benefits can I do?"

The guy hurriedly got down from the upstairs and whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear. The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and went to the backyard, "Young Master, Miss Song, Zhang Jin is moved."

"You go and talk to him."

The shopkeeper should have gone to the private room on the second floor.

Zhou Geng quickly stood up, "Shopkeeper."

Zhang Jin also stood up. He just came in and glanced at the shopkeeper standing behind the counter.

"Please sit down, two young men."

The three of them sat down.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Jin, "To be honest, Mr. Zhang and I are relatives. I know the character of the child. I will never do anything to steal. What's more, how can the heirloom jade pendant be so important? It's obvious that someone is framed and bullying my relative is an honest countryman. I couldn't help but ask Mr. Zhou for help."

"What are my benefits?"

This is what Zhang Jin cares most about.

"It is a great thing for Mr. Zhang to find out the truth of the matter and put what Zhang Huai did to everyone. Of course, we will not let you help in vain."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper stretched out five fingers, "After things are done, I will give you these rewards."

"Fifty taels?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "Five hundred taels."

"Hiss!"

Zhang Jin gasped, and even Zhou Geng widened his eyes. Five hundred taels?

"Brother Zhang, why are you hesitating? You agree."

Zhang Jin did not hesitate at all, "I agree, I will give you news within two days."

...

The Song family was dead, and Old Master Song sat in the room and sighed.

Grandma Song glanced at him several times, "The child is so uncomfortable, don't add any burden to him."

Mr. Song sighed again, "Didn't I dare to show it in front of him?"

"It's not OK in front of me, it makes me upset."

"That Zhang Huai is simply not a human being. How can he frame Si'er?"

"Since you know it's a false accusation, you will definitely investigate that day. Will you just sit here and sigh and make it work?"

"I, I..."

"Okay, let's do whatever we should do. Don't stay at home, it will make Si'er uncomfortable."

Mr. Song stood up listlessly and left the house.

Song Shu and Liu Cuilan and Song Shen were back long ago, and they all came out of the house when they heard the movement.

"Let's go, go to the field and let Si'er take a break at home."

Liu Cuilan sucked her nose and went to carry the hoe. Song Si also came out of the house and prepared to follow her.

Grandma Song waved her hand, "You stay at home to read books, don't delay the scientific examination."

"I'm fine..."

Grandma Song glared at him, "Who said you have something to do or not? I asked you to go to Wenshu, why? I didn't even listen to grandma's words?"

"The Master often said that we should combine work and rest..."

"Stop telling me about your master and go back to the house to review the book."

"Si'er, listen to grandma."

Liu Cuilan persuaded her with a nasal voice.

Song Si turned around silently and returned to the house.

The Song family was carrying a hoe and carrying a basket on their backs. When a sound of horse hooves approached the door from afar. Everyone's expressions changed. Song Shu hurriedly threw away the hoe and ran to the door to look.
