Chapter 657: Wealth Doesn't Show, If It Shows, You Get

offins in the mountains, only boxes. Men and women will be buried separately.” 。Record the deceased person's appearance, age characteristics, and box markings. 。Keep this, Master. When the day comes t...Without speaking of the lively scene in Li Jia's warm house, let us say that the brothers who were remembered by their families had reached a port three hundred miles away from Quanzhou on this day.

Because this place is bustling, all the ships are willing to come here to replenish their water. The pier is crowded with people, it's extremely lively.

Jia Ren and his brothers went abroad to study with the purpose of seeing more of the world and gaining some experience, good or bad.

So, the fleet anchored, and the officials were busy. Jia Ren then took Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er to find their uncle, intending to disembark and have a look around.

Li Zhensheng would naturally not disagree.

Along the way, he also encouraged his nephews and sons to make more face-to-face negotiations.

The previous few checkpoints required stamping on the documents, which were all completed by the children.

On the job, you need to strike a balance. You can't shortchange yourself, but you also can't leave those low-level officials with nothing. Finding that sweet spot is really tough.

Fortunately, Jia Ren handled it well. Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er stayed by his side, couldn't help much, but didn't hold him back either. They performed quite well!

So this time, he simply gave his nephew some silver and instructed him: "Take good men with you and have a good day out. You can stay at an inn tonight. Come back with your brothers before dawn tomorrow. If you encounter anything good, remember to buy some for Fu Niuer!"

"Okay, Uncle," Jia Ren replied.

Miao Ge'er and Li Ge'er were overjoyed to hear that they could stay outside for a night.

Soon, they changed their clothes and led their own attendants off the boat.

Jia Yi and Liu Yang were already experienced sailors. This time, they didn't come down with the rest because the fleet still needed looking after.

As a result, the three brothers had just disembarked when they encountered Lü Zong and Jia Xu, who were also accompanied by their attendants, intending to go for a stroll.

As soon as the two parties met, Jia Xu and Lu Cong both smiled.

The three Jia Ren brothers were originally fair and elegant, but after working as dockhands, they became tanned and thin from the hard labor and exposure to the sun and wind. They hardly looked like scholars anymore.

Besides, they weren't wearing silk robes at the moment. They were in simple cotton clothes – narrow sleeves, close-fitting trousers, and wide belts – looking rather like agile swordsmen wandering the rivers and lakes.

Similarly, the three Li brothers also frowned upon seeing Jia Xu and Lu Zong's attire.

These two are decked out in brand new, intricately woven silk robes. They each have jade hairpins on their heads and jade belts around their waists. Their purses dangle with jade pendants as well.

One person still had a gilded fan in their hand, shaking it as they walked.

They are simply two walking suckers, long-legged purses.

As if declaring to all the petty thieves and scoundrels on the pier, "We have money, lots of money, come and rob us if you dare!"

Jia Ren is fine, he's just a bit shrewd and doesn't like to speak too much.

But the cat boy was young, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he was pulled hard by the brother Li.

As Lu Zong was chatting cordially with the people of Zhengdong, he caught sight of this scene and changed his mind, asking: "Brother Li, where are you going Would you allow us to accompany you"

Jia Ren didn't want to cause trouble, but he had gotten along well with them during their time at the academy and couldn't just refuse outright. He said, "Aren't your gentlemen companions enjoying tea and composing poetry at Wang Hai Lou Shouldn't you go take a look"

Lu Cong shook his head and said, “It’s the same everywhere we go. It’s really boring. Maybe if we wandered through the streets with you, we might find something interesting.”

Jia Xu also nodded and said, "That's right. This is the last pier before reaching Quanzhou. If we don't play around a little more, we'll never have another chance!"

This is not something that can be refused...

After some thought, Jia Ren agreed but also put forward a requirement, "When we're out and about, safety comes first. Since you're traveling with us, it's best to follow our arrangements for certain matters."

"Okay, we have no objections." Lu Zong readily agreed, and Jia Xu also nodded.

Jiarren pointed at their purses, "You guys should keep your purses in your sleeves. If there are expenses, we'll cover them first and then split the cost evenly afterwards."

Lu Zhonghe and Jia Xu hesitated for a moment. Meow Ge finally couldn't hold back and cried out, "According to the second rule of the Jianghu Handbook, wealth should not be flaunted. If you flaunt it, you'll get slaughtered!"

Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu were taken aback, then burst into laughter.ening, he and Goureng would go to the shop to help out whenever they had free time.Students all like to eat the set meals in the shop, the food tastes good, there are many kinds, and it is clean.Just...
