Chapter 2 No way, so unlucky?
After dinner, the unlucky Ji Que sat in the room with his legs crossed, enjoying the rare peace.
After that, he rummaged through the cabinet and took out an unpretentious gray package.
The package was opened carefully, and inside was half a moldy sesame seed cake and two letters.
One letter was pasted with red clay, and it was a standard engagement letter; the other was sent from the White Mansion in Tianren City three years ago, and it was the woman's grandfather reminding him of the engagement.
This is the most troublesome place for Ji Que.
Ji Que’s late grandfather was a sesame seed cake seller. There was a famine that year, and one person was about to starve to death, so he gave him a sesame seed cake.
The man survived by doing this, and later became prosperous, so he gave old man Ji half a piece of sesame seed cake and made a marriage contract.
That is when Ji Que was seventeen years old, he would go to the Bai Mansion in Tianren City to fulfill the agreement with Miss Bai's family.
And this year, Ji Que is just seventeen years old.
In this dynasty called "Sheng Dynasty", which is similar to the ancient Tang Dynasty, marriage contracts are quite important.
If Ji Que doesn't care about the engagement, then if he marries another girl, it will be rude.
Similarly, unless he is dead, or the marriage contract is dissolved, the woman can choose someone else to marry, otherwise it is also impolite.
Inexplicably, Ji Que has an extra fiancée.
Don’t have a car or a house, don’t care about your career, you don’t even need a bride price, just half a moldy sesame seed cake and a letter, you can get a wife who should be a lady.
Regarding this kind of thing, apart from the initial freshness and a little excitement, Ji Que, the single dog of the two lives, was at a loss for the rest.
It is reasonable to say that the white girl in the marriage contract should be a lady of every family, but he doesn't know whether the other party is tall, short, fat, thin, big breasts, long legs, temperament, and a person like him is destined not to get married so early.
It is said that Tianren City is very prosperous, and Bisangshui County is so prosperous that it is the most prosperous city in the Northland.
That, too, represents more shit, flying bricks, pickpockets, strongmen, gang people, officials who are darker than gangs, etc.
If he really married Miss Bai, then Miss Bai would face a husband who often stepped on dog shit, lost money, was robbed, killed, hit by horses, and chased by tigers when he went out.
Miss Bai might go crazy, right?
So for the happiness of himself and Miss Bai's family, the kind-hearted Ji Que probably wanted to cancel this improper marriage.
Marriage was set up without even meeting each other. The ancients were really reckless.
But even if you go to divorce, it will be troublesome.
Sangshui County is less than a thousand miles away from Tianren City, even if there is not much delay, it will take ten and a half months.
The key is to wrap around.
If it weren't for the rewards he earned in the next few months, Ji Que would still be worrying about money.
In the last life, Ji Que's biggest dream was to be able to travel and live around after becoming rich and free.
He likes to travel not to go to scenic spots, but to stay in a place he likes for a few years, and when he gets bored, he goes to another place to see another scenery.
At that time, the ideal was very full, but the reality was very skinny.
Not to mention the freedom of wealth, he had just emptied his wallet to take out the mortgage, but he encountered a financial crisis plus unemployment, got sick again, and almost fell into depression.
Later, unfortunately encountered a car accident.
The moment the truck hit him, Ji Que only felt the past flow through his mind like water, and one of them was particularly clear.
That's when he discovered that he was never close to living the life of his dreams.
So when he was trucked into this world, he kept remembering the dream.
If you have money, you can travel everywhere, go to a place to see the scenery of a place, eat the food of a place, live a life in a place, and then leave to go to the next stop.
And Tianren City happened to be the next stop in his plan.
His plan is to find a place to live in Tianren City after retiring his marriage, and see what the bustling city of the Northland is like.
But it is said that everything in Tianren City is expensive, and his savings may not be enough.
So in general, Ji Que is short of money.
Ji Que has summed up that during the period when his comprehension just started to accumulate, he just stepped on **** frequently. This stage can be called the "shit stepping stage".
After the "stepping on the **** stage", he would step on the **** and throw money inexplicably.
He once buried ten taels of silver more than one meter below the blue bricks of the house, but the silver was still lost, because at some point there was a huge mouse hole next to it.
Others are picking up money to go whoring and listening to music for free, but he is inexplicably throwing away money.
This made Ji Que very depressed.
Fortunately, at this stage, pickpockets and thieves will fall into his hands from time to time, and he can harvest a little from them in order to make ends meet.
Ji Que called this stage "the stage of keeping money with all his heart", because as long as he works hard to squeeze out thieves and pickpockets, his assets will always tend to be in a state of balance.
After this stage, dangerous incidents will continue to appear, such as robbery, murder, killing people with horses, encountering tigers on outings, etc., are all in this stage.
At this time, Ji Que is in danger of life, but he is also the most profitable.
Those who robbed him and killed him were probably bandits. They already had money on them, and with the bounty from the yamen, he also made some money.
At this stage, Ji Que called it "the stage of taking life to make money".
Ji Que is now at this stage.
He summed it up. Today, he first stepped on dog **** four times in a row. After paying attention to his feet, he was hit by bird **** twice, and he narrowly avoided flying objects such as bamboo poles and bricks falling from above three times. **** met someone beat him sap again
Compared with the previous few days, the frequency of this bad luck is significantly higher.
No way, this is the price of accumulating savvy and earning money.
Ji Que felt that he could still bear it. After all, the more troubles he had, the better. Only then would he be able to live comfortably in Tianren City.
After that, he started his day of exercise.
He first did a hundred push-ups on the ground, then a hundred push-ups, and a hundred squats
On the surface, Ji Que is a scholar who looks gentle, but in fact, his body is full of strong muscles.
This is also one of the reasons why he can survive the bad luck for so long.
Of course, bad luck is not endless. Judging from Ji Que's experience, he has had so many bad luck during the day, and he will usually be at peace at night.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the carved window blew open with a bang.
The candlelight on the table swayed left and right, reflecting the shadows of the trees on the ground like hideous ghosts.
Ji Que hurried over to close the window, but suddenly froze there.
A small sound came from the water tank outside the house, as if a big fish was swimming in it.
But he has never raised fish.
Ji Que, who is in the midst of bad luck, naturally doesn't think it's the snail girl who repays her kindness.
"No way, so unlucky?"
Ji Que put scissors, hammers, bricks, red strings and other tools on the table back to their places in a calm manner, and quietly leaned over with the hammer in hand.
