After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 131
The village chief happily left Lu Laohan's house, finally there was good news.

Early the next morning, several elders in the clan were invited to the village head's house.

Of course, the old lady of the Lu family and Lu Xiaozhu also went.

As for Lu Wufu, he stayed at home to study, and he was about to take the exam, so he didn't dare to be careless.

In fact, Lu Wufu himself may also know that with his current level, he cannot be a scholar.

It's just that the opportunities are here, if you don't try, you will always feel a little bit unwilling.

Although his husband didn't suggest him to take the exam, he still wanted to.

And the reason he gave was very simple, even if he didn't pass the exam, at least he had accumulated experience, so he wouldn't have stage fright if he took the exam next time.

After listening to this explanation, the husband made sense.

However, what my husband is worried about is that the cost of taking the government examination is not low. If an ordinary farmer is not more than [-]% sure, who would dare to mention taking the examination easily?

Money matters have never been considered by Lu Wufu.

Ever since he was a child, he has never been unable to get what he wanted.

Of course, he also has self-knowledge, and won't ask for something that is too outrageous, otherwise, it is estimated that his father will be able to beat him to death first.

Lu Xiaozhu looked relaxed, obviously he didn't think there was anything wrong with asking his clan relatives to help him with the money.

This is not even the basic sense of shame!

Think about it, too, when an 11-year-old child could serve as a slave for him, what else could he not do?

The old patriarch coughed twice: "Wufu has now won Tongsheng, which is a great joy for our Lu family. It has been so many years, but our Lu family has not produced a scholar! Now we finally see hope, but the child of Wufu What do you guys think should be delayed because of insufficient money to seek fame and fame?"

After that, he coughed a few more times.

The village head looked at the crowd, and his tone was quite dissatisfied: "Uncle, we all understand what you mean. If you are among the five blessings, it will naturally be the scenery of our whole family. It's just that I have been the village head for many years, and I have also been with several people. A scholar master has some contacts, to take part in the government examination, even 50 taels of silver may not be able to be used up, I would like to ask this aunt, why did you come up with 100 taels?"

Old Madam Lu was taken aback, she didn't expect that the question would be thrown to her so soon.

"Is it more than 100 taels? That's going to Fucheng! And Wufu will live in Fucheng for a long time. Let alone the cost of the journey, if you go to Fucheng to take an exam, you must eat and drink well? And no one around you will take care of you." What? If you get sick or tired, someone has to take care of you, right?"

These words are really strong words!
I have never heard of a child from a poor family who went to the government for a test and still brought a servant.

That's the style of a young master from a rich family!

Do you really think of your own Lu Wufu as the eldest master?

Just what old lady Lu said just now is enough to make most people in the room dissatisfied with her.

How do you say it's a matter of course?

The village chief sneered: "Let's not talk about anything else, I just want to ask you, Lu Wufu went to take the government test, including the round-trip fee, the total is 50 taels, is it enough?"

The old lady Lu trembled in her heart, she always felt that the village chief's face was too serious, if she forced herself to ask for 100 taels, she might not succeed.

"Uh, since the village chief said so, then 50 taels is 50 taels."

She said it as if she was aggrieved!

The village chief looked around at the people in the house again and said: "Now it's like this, Xiaozhu Niang said that the family can't afford the money for the exam, and she wants to let our clan pay for it. At most, it was only exchanged for five liang of silver, and the food was from the clan, and it was also paid in by each household, how many of you can agree to exchange the silver for Lu Wufu to use for the exam?"

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Although five taels of silver is not particularly large, there is also a part of their hard work in it!

It was also last year because every family had income, so for the first time, no one borrowed food from the clan, otherwise, it is impossible for the clan to have so much food to sell now.

The old patriarch's chaotic eyes swept around quickly and said: "It seems that everyone has no objection, so it's settled. These clan rations will be exchanged for silver coins, and then used for Wufu's exam."

The village head raised his eyebrows slightly, and said again: "Auntie, Lu Xiaozhu, it is true that Lu Wufu needs money to rush for the exam, and there is a limit to what our clan can do. For so many years, everyone knows what is going on in your family. Don't tell lies that you can't afford a penny! We don't believe it!"

At this time, the third grandfather shouted: "Yes, don't fool us with such words! If you dare to say that you don't have a tael of silver, then we will search your house now to see how much money you have hidden!"

Mrs. Lu was a little panicked.

You must know that all her money is hidden in her house, it's in the cabinet, it's very easy to find!

"No, village head, what are you talking about! I didn't say I would not come out."

The village chief sneered and ignored her.

When I came to look for him yesterday, I was very arrogant, and insisted that I had to ask for 100 taels of silver, and kept saying that my family had spent all the silver.

The old woman changed her mind quickly!
After hesitating for a while, the old lady said reluctantly: "I really don't have much money in my family, and if I spend all my money, I can take out five liang."

In this way, it can be regarded as the possession of ten taels of silver.

"That is to say, there is still a shortfall of 40 taels of silver. Lu Xiaozhu, are you planning to borrow all the 40 taels of silver?"

Lu Xiaozhu stared, why did he borrow it?

Who said borrowed money?
Isn't that fighting for glory for the clan, and not allowing the clan to give money?
He didn't dare to say that, but quietly looked at the old lady.

Sure enough, the old lady did not disappoint him, she immediately stood up, and said angrily, "Nephew, what are you talking about? Why is it a loan? If our Wufu wins the master of the scholar, it will change the family of our old Lu family." What! And this old master Xiu enjoys a lot of preferential treatment, the village chief doesn't know about it, does he?"

This is what is hinting at the tax-free land.

The village head smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, you haven't taken the test yet, so don't speak so harshly! Even if Wufu is selected as a scholar, he can't make the clansmen proud for nothing, and everyone will still have to If you want to pay some money or food to show, that is something for later, let's talk about the present first."

The words of the village chief woke up some elders who wanted to help Lu Wufu just now.

That's not it!

As far as the virtues of Old Madam Lu and Lu Xiaozhu are concerned, are they willing to let them be honored in vain?

That being the case, why should the money be given out for nothing now?
