Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Shouldn't I take this title of Jieyuan in one go? The title of Huiyuan is even further away, and there is nothing to brag about. When the child grows up, won't it be embarrassing for the father?
Zhou Banxia covered her face and laughed silently.

"You still think I'm unsure?"

“No.” Zhou Banxia let go and shook his head, trying not to laugh. “Whatever you want to do, you can basically achieve it. You have the perseverance and the ability.”

Just like in the past, when people refused to admit defeat and had to fight for their place, and if they couldn’t be the second generation of rich people, they had to be the first generation of rich people. They held back their energy and became the so-called new rich.

"Then what are you laughing at?"

"I remember this time last year, I was still worried about whether you could pass the imperial examination." Please see my sincere eyes. I am definitely not making fun of you for having a child and then changing your mind.

"You are just worrying about nothing. We can still study. It's just that our family background is not so good and we have no one to help us. Whatever we want to do is much more difficult than the average person.

Now that you are the one who helped me, it is unreasonable for you not to strive for excellence. You must strive for excellence no matter what, and you must not lose out to others even if you don't go out to explore.

There is still a big gap between a prospective juren and a juren. They have to behave like students in front of the county magistrate, unlike juren who can sit on an equal footing with them.

The gap between the Jieyuan and the ordinary Juren is even greater. If I win the Jieyuan, I will secure a teaching position in the county school without the recommendation of a teacher.

It doesn’t matter whether you take part in the spring examination or not. It’s okay to take it again in a few years. If you want to take over the teacher’s network one day, you can go to Jingshan Academy.

If the situation gets bad someday and the children are grown up, we can always go to the south of the Yangtze River to seek refuge with our master. Even if he is gone, we still have our uncle.

This is also one of the reasons why I asked you to keep 100,000 silver dollars in cash, and use the extra funds to purchase land near the shops.

It would be a pity if I don't take advantage of the power that the gentleman still has to purchase land near the dowry shop and farm, otherwise the opportunity will slip away.

Since there are village heads and managers, we can save a lot of management fees. Besides, we are scattered and not conspicuous, so we don’t get jealous and try to take advantage of us.

As for relatives, I cannot suppress them just because I have a reputation. Look at Gu Yangwen, he shamelessly owed us 40 taels of silver without even saying a word and wrote us an IOU when he couldn’t pay it back. "

"There is an IOU for twenty taels."

"I know. What I mean is that if any of our relatives are shameless and act like a rogue, we are civilized people and we cannot lower ourselves to sue them."

"Not really. I won't lend anyone more than fifty taels—"

"What if Uncle Ma wants to borrow money for cash flow?"

"He is not a shameless person."

"What if he suddenly leaves after borrowing the money and hasn't paid us back? Da Huzi won't admit that he's the only one to pay the debt, and your sister-in-law is here, so are you going to fight with them?"

Zhou Banxia laughed and held his forehead, "If someone hears it, I'll be scared to death. If that day really comes, if the amount is small and there is an IOU, it's impossible for the son to deny it.

The amount is large, and I can't lend it out with just one person writing the IOU and putting fingerprints on it. There must be a guarantor. A married woman like my sister-in-law definitely can't be a guarantor.

This possibility will not exist unless I am willing to give and do not want the other party to pay back the money. However, what you said is not unreasonable, it should be avoided as much as possible.

Since there is someone like Gu Yangwen among my relatives, it is inevitable that someone will borrow money in the name of a close relative and not pay it back. It is better not to lend it out in the first place."

"Don't give me that. All I know is that Gu Wenyu's wife borrowed thirty taels of silver from you for a few days. Did she return it to you?" Zhou Banxia thought he was going to say something.

"I paid it back a long time ago. I brought it here as soon as I got back from my parents' home yesterday evening. She even insisted on leaving a basket of eggs. I had no choice but to accept it. You are so polite."

"That's because she knows that if you borrow, you must pay it back. It's not difficult to borrow again. Gu Wenyu still needs our help. Grandfather and uncle will not tolerate her borrowing money for her mother's family and not paying it back."

If it weren't for the above reasons, she would never have lent the other party thirty taels of silver without saying anything, right? Zhou Banxia blinked.

Gu Wenxuan stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, "Besides her, who else would have asked you to borrow money when I'm not at home this month, except for her?"

"No. Ordinary people can't come in here. The old man has been very well behaved these days, and even if the old lady comes, it's impossible for her to ask me to borrow money for her eldest son.

As for the people in the village, I heard that they have enough income this year. It is impossible for them to wait until this month to pay the autumn tax and then come to me to borrow money.

As for relatives, especially those from my mother's side, not to mention that my father is most afraid of anyone asking me to borrow money and he will definitely stop them, my mother usually doesn't dare to bring her mother's family to our house.

As for your relatives, the Tian family can't come in, and your uncle's family is very particular. They can't possibly ask me, their nephew's wife, to borrow money to pay the autumn tax.

As for the remaining relatives, your eldest aunt and your second cousin don't need this little money. If your cousins ​​are short of money and want to borrow, they will first look to your mother's family.

My mother's family didn't have any money, but my great-grandmother, great-aunt, and cousin would take their daughters to borrow money from my second grandmother, and they wouldn't bother me unless it was a matter of life and death.

In general, except for those few weirdos, everyone is a decent person and they wouldn't be so shameless as to ask a junior like me for money.

You can rest assured about this. They are just cousins ​​of the same generation. If I didn't have a good relationship with them, who would I know? Let me borrow some information from them.

Gu Wenyu's wife is different. Her father from her mother's side has a good relationship with our father. The reason she borrowed money this time was really for emergency, and our father knows it.

She didn't come to me to borrow money at the beginning. It was because my eldest uncle only had more than twenty taels of silver and wanted to go to the carriage inn in the city to get some money, so Gu Wenyu's wife came to me.

We have to help you with this, even if we cannot repay you, but for Gu Wenyu's sake, since he, as his brother-in-law, cannot help at Jingshan Academy, we have to lend a hand at home.

It's not a lot, only thirty taels of silver. If it gets to Jingshan Academy, how will Uncle Cheng and the others look at you? I didn't even help Gu Wenyu, who is not even five degrees of mourning. Then my character will be questionable.

After all, Uncle Cheng couldn't have been unaware of how much dowry my uncle gave me. Even Uncle Lin, how could he not know that we all have nice houses and farms in Zhending Prefecture?"

"That's why I said to keep enough cash. While you are powerful now, the extra funds should be dispersed to buy land near various shops."

Zhou Banxia nodded repeatedly, "It's in the plan. Once we have enough 100,000 taels (cash), the next step will be to buy shops and farms in other places.

The goal is that as long as there is a place, shop or farm in the dowry list, I will definitely get it and prepare it for your child as soon as possible. All of them are for your child.

There is no place for brothers-in-law or nephews. Even if I, Gu Wenxuan, only have a daughter, everything belongs to her. Why should I be bound by rules and regulations? "

"...Just like your mother, she keeps telling lies." Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "I don't want to test our relationship with money.

If it's really a daughter, I don't want you to have so many children just to have a son. One is enough. You must make plans for the future for the child in advance!" (End of this chapter)
