Chapter 46 Clues
This familiar voice made Chen Zhi frown.

Xinyue, who got on the car first and helped to lift the curtain, could now see clearly who was behind Chen Zhi.

"Second Young Master?"

Chen Jin was drunk at the moment, and he and another drunk man were arm in arm, staggering towards this side together.

"Old Third, why are you here drinking? Oh, and you brought a woman with you. Have you come to your senses?"

Under the influence of alcohol, Chen Jin no longer spoke with his usual pretentiousness, and his true colors were revealed at this moment.

Chen Zhi frowned unhappily, "Second brother, you've drunk too much. This is my wife."

"What young lady? Is she pretty?" Chen Jin didn't hear clearly, so he just leaned forward and said, "Come, let me take a look for you!"

Zhang Ping on the side immediately stepped forward and stood between them, saying in a deep voice.

"Second Young Master, you are drunk. Let me take you back home."

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin pushed him away and said, "You bastard, do you have the right to speak here? I'm not drunk, why are you saying that? I still have to go to Qimengzhai to have fun later!"

"Hahahaha, Brother Chen is right. The girl with willow eyebrows from Qimengzhai has a very slim figure!"

The man who had his arm around Chen Jin's shoulder smiled with a lustful look in his eyes. As he spoke, his eyes fell on Mei Xiang, who was next to Zhang Ping. He immediately reached out his hand to pull her over.

"This girl is pretty, too. She'll keep me company."

Seeing this, Zhang Ping hurriedly pulled Meixiang behind him to protect her, and glared at the drunk man with a bad look.

Chen Zhi's face also turned gloomy at this moment.

"If Second Brother doesn't come back, I will leave first. When I return, I will tell Second Sister-in-law and ask her to send someone to pick up Second Brother."

Perhaps because he was drunk, Chen Jin widened his eyes when he heard this.

"Third brother, what do you mean by that? Can that woman control me? Let me tell you, second brother, I am going to do big business soon. Do you know who this person is? He is the famous eldest son of the Yan family. The little money we earn from the cloth business is not enough. The Yan family has iron ore, iron... uh uh."

Halfway through his words, the man next to him, whom he called the eldest son of the Yan family, suddenly raised his hand and covered his mouth.

He pretended to be serious and said, "Brother Chen, this, this cannot be told to outsiders!"

It was not known whether Chen Jin had heard it or not, but he nodded repeatedly, and then Master Yan let go of his hand again.

Perhaps the two of them felt that Chen Zhi was boring, so they didn't stay any longer. They linked their arms around each other's shoulders and staggered towards the direction of Qimengzhai.

At that time, looking at the two drunkards walking away, Chen Zhi frowned tightly.

Iron ore. Chen Jin mentioned the word iron ore just now.

This reminded him of what Gao Yuci had asked him during the day.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi decided to find an opportunity tomorrow to talk to Chen Jin and see if he could get any useful information and then pass it on to Gao Yuci.

Returned to the mansion.

Xu Shuhe was still sleeping soundly.

The two of them shared a pot of wine. Chen Zhi drank as much as she did. He was also tired at the moment, so he did not go back to the front yard and stayed at Fuyun Residence.

The next day.

Xu Shuhe woke up when it was just dawn.

I woke up from thirst. This always happens after drinking.

He sat up from the couch and shook his head. He felt neither dizzy nor in pain. He thought that nowadays pure grain wine is better to drink. Even if he is drunk, he won't have a headache.

How do you know you are drunk?

Because after waking up, I couldn't remember what happened last night at all, and my memory only stayed at the time when I was drinking.

Tsk, what a shame, I was so careless.

Xu Shuhe muttered to himself, then turned over, opened the tent and got off the bed.

I was a little surprised to see someone lying on the small couch. I didn't expect Chen Zhi didn't go back to the front yard.

Xu Shuhe tiptoed to the table and gulped down a large glass of water. Only then did he feel much better.

Raising his hand to wipe his mouth and looking at the sleeping Chen Zhi, Xu Shuhe suddenly remembered about the system and quickly called out the system in his mind.

When Xu Shuhe saw the value of 43% clearly marked in the business column on the page, he clapped his hands in joy and couldn't help but exclaimed. "Great!"

It has already reached 43, how far is it from 80~
If we open a few more stores next time, the price will continue to rise.

Feeling happy, Xu Shuhe caught a glimpse of another small change out of the corner of his eye. The value in the scholar column also increased a little.

Perhaps the knowledge gained from reading business books would also be useful for one's career and imperial examinations. After all, it was all reading, Xu Shuhe guessed, but did not think much about it.

Now that she is helping to develop Chen Zhi's business attributes, nothing else matters.

"you're awake."

Just when Xu Shuhe was secretly happy, Chen Zhi's voice rang out.

Turning around, I saw him sitting up from the small couch.

Xu Shuhe responded, "I'm drinking water. Did I disturb you? Sorry."

"No, I just slept lightly." Chen Zhi whispered, and then asked, "I saw you were happy yesterday, so I didn't say anything. This Jinzun Tower is famous for its wine, and the wine is quite strong. You don't feel uncomfortable, do you?"

When he said that, Xu Shuhe smiled embarrassedly.

"I was too confident and thought that drinking this half pot of wine would be fine. But this wine is really good. Although it is intoxicating, I don't feel uncomfortable after being drunk."

Come to think of it, Jinzun Tower, "zun" means wine glass, and its name is Golden Wine Glass, so the wine must be good. She was just careless.

"It's normal for a girl to have a low alcohol tolerance. It's OK as long as she doesn't feel uncomfortable." Chen Zhi also smiled, then glanced at the hazy sky outside the window, "It's still early, let's sleep for a while."

Xu Shuhe nodded, and then politely said, "Would you like some water? I'll pour you a glass."

When she mentioned that, Chen Zhi was actually a little thirsty, so he thanked her.

So Xu Shuhe poured a glass of water and brought it to him.

However, it was just daybreak and the dark corners in the room were still unclear. Xu Shuhe didn't pay attention to his feet and tripped.

With a scream, he rushed towards Chen Zhi with the teacup.

"Beware!"

Chen Zhi also subconsciously stretched out his arms to receive the person.

Soon after, he felt a chill on his chest, and the woman's soft body fell into his arms. They were both shocked.

Xu Shuhe fell and got up from Chen Zhi's arms in a hurry. He felt so embarrassed when he saw Chen Zhi who was splashed with water by him.

At this time, Xinyue's voice was heard outside again.

"Master, Madam, what's going on in there? Do you want me to come in and serve you?"

“No, no.” Xu Shuhe quickly refused. “Well, I got up to drink some water and accidentally fell. It’s not a big deal!”

Hearing this, Xinyue became anxious, "Madam, you are not injured, right? I'd better come in and take a look!"

Xu Shuhe was also anxious and hurried to stop him, "Really, no need, I'm fine."

If Xinyue came in, the fact that they slept in separate beds would be exposed. We couldn't do that.

Seeing that she insisted again and again, Xinyue had no choice but to give up and didn't ask any more questions.

At that time, inside the room, Chen Zhi looked at his wet pajamas and bedding, feeling a little helpless.

But fearing that Xu Shuhe would be too embarrassed, he took the initiative to say, "It's okay, we have to get up in less than an hour, you go to bed, I'll change my clothes and go to the store early today."

"Why don't you ask someone to get some hot water so you can wash yourself. You've been wet with cold water so early in the morning. Don't catch a cold." Xu Shuhe suggested embarrassedly.

It just so happened that Chen Zhi had sweated a little last night when he went to bed, and he felt a little sticky, so he nodded.

So Xinyue, who was guarding outside, was summoned again and asked to prepare water for bathing.

Prepare water for bathing?

Xinyue felt strange. Why did he want to take a bath so early in the morning? He didn't even let her in to serve him just now.

Right, just now.
Thinking of the commotion in the room just now, Xinyue couldn't help but blush and hurried to make arrangements.

I thought this young couple is really different, they are so energetic so early in the morning.
