Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 17 The Liu Family
Liu Ruolan's father, Liu Shen, is just an ordinary scholar. Apart from the tax-free land, he has no other benefits, which is no better than Xie Xiuwen.

Xie Xiuwen is a granary student, and the monthly silver and rice grains distributed by the imperial court are enough for one person.

Liu Shen stopped thinking about the scientific examination more than [-] years ago, mainly because the cost of studying was too high, and although he himself had a reputation as a scholar, he had to support his family. If he continued the scientific examination, he would not have this capable.

So Liu Shen opened a private school early, and built a bamboo house next to his home, mainly to help some young children enlighten.

After a month, Father Liu will probably get a few taels of silver.

If it weren't for such an income, his sons might not be able to be called daughter-in-laws, and they wouldn't be able to build a new house.

Liu Ruolan's family has three older brothers, and she is the youngest. Before she got married, she was the favorite of the family. Every time she went back to her natal home, her parents were the happiest, and the older brothers were happy to keep her for a few more days .

An hour later, when the three of Xie Xiuwen appeared at the door of Liu's house, baby Xie Rongzhao was riding on a wild goat.

Of course, a rope was tied around the wild goat's neck, and the other end was held by Xie Xiuwen's hand.

When Uncle Liu saw this situation, he almost pouted in fright. This is a wild goat, not the docile one raised by himself, and the couple dared to let the child ride it like this!

Several men from the Liu family hurriedly carried the child down and tied up the wild goat, so that they could have time to talk to their sister and husband.

As for Xie Rongzhao, he was dragged away by several cousins.

Liu Shen was naturally happy when he saw the wild goat they brought. He stroked his beard and said, "Ruolan, did your son-in-law catch this goat?"

"Father, you really think highly of him this time!"

Liu Ruolan smiled, and explained the origin of the wild goat clearly.

When she finished speaking, everyone in the room was going to be dumbfounded.

Xie Rongzhao's luck is also better, right?

"Sister Zhao really caught this?"

"Father, why would I lie to you about this kind of thing. Good luck, I even dug up the medicinal materials a few days ago. If it wasn't for this, I'm afraid that the Langjun's going to the academy would have to be delayed."

When it came to business, Liu Shen's face became more serious.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Xie Xiuwen also looked upright, and sat up straighter: "Back to father-in-law, my son-in-law has already figured it out, even if it's for myself, I have to fight again. Besides, I can't let Ruolan and Guaibao follow me to be wronged .”

Now he is just a scholar, which is still too low.

If he can win the Juren, not to mention that he will go to the higher examination, but only in Gao County, even the magistrate of the county will not dare to underestimate him, and such a domineering family like the Fang family will not easily attack the Xie family. up.

Whether it is for oneself or for the family, continuing the scientific research is the best choice.

"It's good if you can figure it out. I'm relieved that Ruolan will marry you. I heard that the baby got sick a few days ago, but now she's in good health?"

"Father-in-law, don't worry, it's all right now."

The Liu family also knew what kind of person the mother-in-law of the Xie family was. They just thought that Liu Ruolan was living with Xie Xiuwen, and they had always had a deep relationship between husband and wife, and they got another baby, so they couldn't make things difficult for Xie Xiuwen.

Seeing that Xie Xiuwen is willing to retake the scientific examination now, the brothers of the Liu family also feel that if they are successful, then the younger sister's good life will come.

Although this scholar and Juren only missed the provincial examination, their status and status are completely different!
Scholars are just generals who have stepped into the threshold of scientific examinations, while Juren can be called masters, and can discuss local county government with the county magistrate.

Xie Xiuwen told his family before going out that he would rest here for one night before going back.

Regarding this, Auntie Xie has nothing to be unhappy about. It would be better if they don't come back. If they don't come back, they can eat well, so as not to be said to be partial again!
Xie Rongzhao was also happy to be at her grandfather's house, because at her grandfather's house, her grandfather and grandmother absolutely protected her, even if a certain aunt did not like her, she could only stare at her.

Liu Jia Dalang is Uncle Liu's eldest son, he is twelve years old this year, and his height has started to rise, and now he is no shorter than Liu Ruolan.

Liu Dalang likes Xie Rongzhao, and he is willing to hug her wherever he goes.

The eldest aunt is also happy to see the success, anyway, now Xie Rongzhao is still young, cousins, it's okay to get closer, just wait for another two years, and you can't be so casual anymore.

"Big cousin, you are good at reading, but I can't. I can't remember many things."

Liu Dalang smiled and touched the top of her hair: "That's because you are still young, you can know so many characters and memorize so many poems, it's already pretty good."

Xie Rongzhao said proudly, "My father and my mother taught me."

Liu Erlang leaned over and kissed her on the cheek: "Baby, you smell so sweet!"

If adults say this, it will inevitably be a little awkward.

But it was only a ten-year-old boy who said this, so naturally it would not be embarrassing.

"Second cousin, let's go out to play, don't interfere with big cousin's study."

Although the Liu family's family background is decent, but if they want to send their children to study, they have to choose talented ones.

Those who are not gifted can read and break characters, and do an accounting.

For example, among the several uncles in the Liu family, only the eldest uncle studied for a few more years and managed to become a scholar. Those who cultivate the land should learn the craft.

Liu Erlang was enlightened at the age of six. After several years of reading, he knew that he was not suitable for studying. Now he reads half a day a day, and the rest of the time is helping the family, either going to the fields, or chopping firewood.

In the evening, Xie Xiuwen took Xie Rongzhao's little hand and strolled in the yard to digest food.

"Father, do you think it would be good if we make money together with a few uncles?"

Xie Xiuwen was startled for a moment before he understood what she meant.

If you work with the Xie family, the final benefit will be assigned to the public, and [-]% out of [-] will go to the big house. This baby is not happy, so I want to find people from the Liu family to work with me. make money.

"What does Guaibao want to do to make money?"

Guaibao pouted: "I met an old man last time, he taught me how to cook a few dishes, can we open a restaurant?"

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows, and laughed after a while: "Baby, it's not so easy to open a restaurant. And with us and the Liu family's family background, if this business is successful, it may not be able to protect it."

The implication is that if the business is so good that it blocks people's way, the shop or the prescription will have to be robbed.

Xie Rongzhao choked, and then remembered that there was another big family in the town, the Fang family.

Xie Rongzhao was a little frustrated, he finally thought of a way to get money, but he didn't expect to be blocked so soon.

Xie Xiuwen couldn't bear to see his daughter disappointed, so he made up his mind and said, "However, we can sell the prescription and make friends with the dignitaries in the county by the way."
