Aim at That Star

Chapter 40: The Boy I Like Is Tall And Bright

Jiang Shi is actually really rich.

And if he wants to make money and works hard for four or five years, maybe he can become one of those big capitalists who are safe and secure in the back.

You can get a lot of credit for just spending money.

But Jiang Shi felt boring.

It is not arrogance, nor is it laziness and burnout.

He really felt bored.

“What are you asking me to do?”

He played with the bullet casings in his hand, nonchalantly, “What is the most profitable thing now? Growing opium?”

Wang Gaomiao, who was chatting, was at a loss for words: “It doesn’t have to be so quick for quick success.”

“Then go into business?”

Jiang Shi smiled, “It’s good to say that it is wrong to save the country by industry, but now you look like a ghost, you have burned down all the shops in a city after a battle, and you are doing business with foreigners snorting in such fear, what is there? What do you mean? Besides, in this world, there are thousands of people who want to start a business and run a factory safely, and there is no shortage of me like this.”

Editor-in-chief Liu interjected: “No matter what, it’s better for us to earn money back than to let foreigners earn it away.”

“meaningless.”

He shook his head lightly, “As long as the foreigners and the Japanese don’t fight, the money we make will never be ours, we worked so hard to scrape the fat of the people from the common people, and then we lost the battle and surrendered our wealth to the foreigners. , you tell me, what’s the point?”

“Isn’t it possible, those compatriots who have worked so hard in the industry, what they do has no meaning?”

“they have.”

Jiang Shi didn’t want to dwell on this issue anymore, and ended this meaningless discussion with a tough stance, “They do this because they can only do it so much, and I do it because I don’t. I can do better. Human life is limited, since I don’t know if there is reincarnation, then at least in this life, I have to do the things that make me feel the happiest and most comfortable.”

……

“It’s too comfortable!”

A girl with wavy curly hair ran down from the second floor after visiting, got into the kitchen and sighed to Yu Kunyu, “If I could marry such a nice family, live in such a big and comfortable blue brick. Tiled house, why do I have to work day and night like now. Kunyu, you are so happy.”

Yu Kunyu was mixing a cold dish without raising his head: “When did you actually say such a thing?”

“What’s the matter, what’s wrong with what I said?”

The girl looked confused, “Isn’t this kind of day happy and uncomfortable?”

He Xiaoli, who was next to her, echoed: “It’s not just the days of the young grandmother, look at the young grandma of the big family in Jinling City, all day long, they either play cards and smoke, or go shopping and watch the theater, just like Kunyu, you go out early and go home late and have no life to work. It’s unusual.”

Yu Kunyu frowned and said depressedly, “Why do you start to arrange me so well? According to you, Yun Ting’s sister is married to the Yang family. What is a brick house like mine? That’s what the Yang family is called. Are the real big families okay?”

“…my sister she’s different.”

The girl with wavy curly hair sighed and retorted, “She’s a concubine, and now even my family doesn’t want to mention her, and this marriage with you is not the same thing at all.”

Yu Kunyu shook her head gently: “You should also think about it, where did you get your tuition for high school and university? Who will help you find a job in a newspaper after graduation? How can the salary of a newspaper be enough for you today? A bottle of perfume and a pair of high heels tomorrow? If you want me to say, even if everyone in the world looks down on your sister, you shouldn’t. And your family, you shouldn’t take someone else’s while saying they’re not. ”

This is a bit harsh.

Saying it in front of Xu Yunting was even more merciless.

But Yu Kunyu did not regret it.

Xu Yunting’s older sister was born beautiful, and she was chosen to act in a movie at the age of fourteen.

At the age of sixteen, she married into the Yang family, a wealthy merchant in Jinling, and became the fifth concubine of Mr. Yang. It is now her seventh year.

Master Yang is already in his fifties, and he loves this young fifth concubine very much, giving him whatever he wants.

Sister Xu’s temperament is not public, but she is very fond of her family, and this family naturally refers to her parents’ family.

Xu Yunting’s family felt that it was useless for a girl to read so many books, so all her tuition and living expenses were funded by her sister, and her work was also arranged by her sister.

Even now that she has become independent from home, her sister still has pocket money for her every month.

That’s why Yu Kunyu said, “If you don’t look down on her, you shouldn’t reach out and take it in the first place. Since you take it and use it with peace of mind, you shouldn’t look down on her.”

Xu Yunting lowered his head and did not speak.

Indeed, the family her sister married was indeed much richer than Yu Kunyu’s husband.

I live in a small house in the concession, with a big garden and lawn. I have a car when I go out, and I can’t fit my clothes in a big cabinet.

But in her heart, she still felt that her sister’s marriage was far inferior to that of her friend Yu Kunyu.

Master Yang is in his fifties, about the same age as her father.

There is also the original wife’s first-in-class son, and there is a fourth-bedroom concubine in front of her, and she will marry into the sixth bedroom when she can’t guarantee it.

What is her sister? It’s just a plaything that I bought back because of its looks.

In the past, maybe not even a good concubine.

But as for Yu Kunyu, her husband is about the same age as her, and he is handsome. He treats her very well, and his tenderness can be seen in his eyes.

Even if the other party didn’t have such a solid family background, Xu Yunting felt that Yu Kunyu’s marriage was worth it.

“Actually, I just envy the harmony between you and your husband and wife. It’s a brick house and a Simmons. It’s all extras. It’s better if you have it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.”

“That’s what I thought.”

Yu Kunyu raised her eyes lightly, her voice soft, “That’s why you have to work honestly, right?”

“Why does this have to do with work again?”

“Because whoever I marry is Yu Kunyu, Yu Kunyu has to go to work, and it has nothing to do with whether the house is old or not.”

The girl threw her a washed winter jujube, “I thought you thought the same, so I thought it was strange that you would say something like that.”

Qin Ci knew her situation best, and when she heard the words, she said, “Yes, if you only want to marry a rich family, the boys who chased Kunyu in school are like crucian carp across the river, and there are many children of big families. She just picks one at random.”

“Then how can you just pick.”

He Xiaoli couldn’t help but interrupt, “I also read it from Rende Girls’ School, but I have never seen a crucian carp more handsome than Mr. Jiang.”

Yu Kunyu smashed a turnip head.

“Okay, I won’t talk about it, you are still a woman at this age, why are you more shy than us… Then what, the dishes are almost ready, right? I’ll call the editor-in-chief and them to come over. Open?”

…..

Qin Ci’s birthday party was generally very peaceful and smooth.

There was a whole large table of people, but they didn’t even finish a cup of wine. A few big men and even a few young women with progressive thoughts were calm and calm. At the end of the banquet, their faces didn’t change, their hearts didn’t beat, their steps were steady, and they were not at all. It could not be seen that it was a gathering of excited young people.

Instead, it was like attending the 80th birthday of my grandfather.

The kind that doesn’t even dare to put too much chili in the hot pot.

In fact, the people in their newspaper office are usually quite noisy.

The last time I went to the editor-in-chief’s house for wedding wine, there was a lot of noise all night.

The reason why he didn’t even dare to say a dirty word today, Yu Kunyu mainly felt that Jiang Shi was too good to be around.

I don’t know why he is so scary.

Obviously he didn’t speak, he wasn’t vicious, and he even had a little smile on his face, but his aura was terrifying, and his eyes swept over lightly, making people dare not say more.

Yu Kunyu kicked him a few times under the table before making him calm down a little.

– However, at this time, the banquet has basically come to an end.

She found that she really hadn’t prepared much of her food.

Because everyone didn’t drink much and didn’t give impassioned instructions, they basically spent the whole night eating vegetables, eating vegetables, and eating vegetables.

Then seize the space between eating and chatting about work.

The work of the chat is basically: the development plan of the newspaper for the next year, the weight of the social page and the literary page, and how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, etc.

Even a super progressive young man like Yu Kunyu who is passionate about his work is exhausted talking.

Very sleepy.

I can’t wait to send these people away quickly.

She even suspected that this was Jiang Shi’s conspiracy at all.

Because in the end, when everyone said goodbye to each other and left, she clearly caught a smile of success in his eyes.

“Jiang Shi, what tricks are you doing?”

It was obviously an interrogative sentence, but Yu Kunyu asked it in a positive tone.

The man stood beside her to see off the guests, his face remained calm and calm: “It’s not your birthday, it’s not your birthday, it’s enough to cook a good meal, my time is so precious, it’s not worth it to eat and chat. ”

“Who asked you to accompany you to eat and chat, you can’t let go of everyone, I wish you hurry up.”

“So what do you mean, you’d rather leave me to accompany these fox friends to waste time than spend the spring evening with your sweetheart?”

“…”

Why does this guy say anything shameless!

Yu Kunyu raised her head and stared at him, if she hadn’t taken into account that there were still friends at the door saying goodbye, she might have jumped up and killed him right away.

Jiang Shi touched his chin and coughed lightly: “You talk for a while, I’ll go help Ma Lin clean up the kitchen.”

Everyone else was fine, but when he finally left, Qin Ci still quietly expressed his inner worries: “Kunyu, it’s okay for you and Jiang Shi to live alone in Jinling now, if you go to see your in-law’s house in the future, but Qian Qian Wan first make an appointment with him for three chapters before going. I heard that the landlord’s family in such a small county town likes to take concubines and aunts, not to mention that your husband is still a single lineage, and the elders will definitely not want to marry a few more wives. You have to be very careful when you open branches and loose leaves.”

Yu Kunyu laughed: “Don’t worry, the rest may be hard to say, but he will never say that.”

Not to mention that Jiang Shiben is an unmarried person.

Even if he really had other thoughts in the future, according to her understanding of Jiang Shi, he would rather divorce her and marry her than accept his concubine.

A person like him looks unruly on the outside, but in fact, he is the most obsessed with cleanliness in his bones. He can’t stand things like three wives and four concubines.

It just feels like an insult to myself.

Qin Ci waved his hand: “Okay, you can do it yourself, then I’ll go first.”

“Well, see you at the newspaper office tomorrow.”

…..

Yu Kunyu said goodbye to her friends one by one, and when she closed the door and turned to go back to the house, she realized that Jiang Shi had not left.

He just stood quietly under the jujube tree, holding a few pieces of letter paper in his hand.

He probably heard her closing the door, raised his head, his eyes met, Yu Kunyu swore that he saw the hesitation and guilty conscience in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

Jiang Shi was silent for a while.

Finally, he opened his hand and gave her a generous hug.

He just lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered most of his eyes, his expression was sad, and there was a low and gloomy aura lingering all over his body.

Yu Kunyu was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned on the letter paper in his hand, thinking that something was wrong, she hurriedly ran over, hugged his arm, and carefully asked again, “What’s the matter?”

“If I said that my mother was in my hometown and married me a wife without telling me, what would you think?”

Yu Kunyu’s hand holding his arm froze.

He looked up at him, his eyes didn’t blink, his face was expressionless.

“I mean,”

Jiang Shi added, “I didn’t know about it myself, and I’m also a victim.”

Yu Kunyu took a deep breath: “When did you marry?”

“what?”

“I’m talking about your so-called unknowing wife.”

“What does it mean, I really don’t know… two years ago.”

“…”

Yu Kunyu closed her eyes seriously.

She clenched her fists tightly: “So you are telling me now that I somehow became your concubine without even knowing it myself?”
