Luo Xin was silent, Luo Ping said in a low voice: "Xin'er, is Master Lu in time?"

Concern appeared on Luo Xin's face and he said, "I hope it will be in time!"

"Then Master Lu?"

"Teacher, don't even think about being an official again in this life. He offended Xu Jie this time, and Yan Song before. It's lucky to be able to die."

"Will that affect you, Xin'er?"

"It should have some influence."

Luo Ping's expression changed: "Will it affect your scientific research?"

Luo Xin pondered for a while and said, "That's not necessarily the case. One is that they may not take me seriously, and they may not think that I will pass the scientific examination at the age of 12, and they want to cheat in the scientific examination to make me fail. That is Taking a big risk. Any emperor does not allow cheating in scientific examinations. I'm afraid it will be difficult to go, they won't let me, a teacher's disciple, go to a high position, maybe the highest position in my life is the Qipin magistrate, or they will find a reason to dismiss me."

Luo Ping was horrified, remembering what Luo Xin had just said about Lu Tingfang, he couldn't help but worry and said:
"Xin'er, we won't take the science test, so how about farming at home?"

Sensing his father's worry, Luo Xin smiled and said, "Father, you don't have to worry too much. As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. It is impossible for Yan Song and Xu Jie to be prosperous for a lifetime, and I may not have no chance for a lifetime. Besides If you haven’t tried it, how do you know you have no chance?”

Luo Ping fell silent, but there was no way to get rid of worry between the eyebrows.Said for a while:

"Xin'er, have you decided?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded.

Luo Ping looked at Luo Xin, his eyes became firm and he said: "Xin'er, father is a rough man, and he can't make any big sense. He just knows that the brave wins when we meet in a narrow road. Now that you have made up your mind, go ahead and do it."

"Thank you dad!" Luo Xin's heart was filled with emotion.

Luo Ping nodded, and then said with a broken face: "Xin'er, since Master Lu is already like this, we can no longer say that we are borrowing food from Master Lu's family, right?"

"Of course it can't!" Luo Xin laughed and said, "After we got back, we said we borrowed it from our adoptive father."

"Our family's money is gone!" Luo Ping shook his head and sighed.

"If it's gone, it's gone! There's always a way to live on." Luo Xin also frowned slightly. If it's just relying on the three acres of land in his family, the future life will be hard.

"Then what about buying the fields?"

"Father, how much money does our family have?"

"Because you said that you would take money from the Lu family together after you became a scholar, so our family has never taken money from the Lu family. You receive 100 taels of silver from the Lu family every month, but now The expenses at home are indeed a bit higher. So now there are probably more than 600 taels of silver."

Hearing what his father said, Luo Xin showed shame on his face, and he never thought that such a thing would happen to the Lu family.Let your own money go to waste.Seeing the shame on Luo Xin's face, Luo Ping comforted Luo Dao in turn:
"Xin'er, you're not to blame for this matter. You were right at the beginning. And even if we received the money, Master Lu is your teacher now. If the teacher's family encounters such a thing, we have to use the money to help Your teacher tides over the difficulties. So it doesn’t make any difference whether you get the money or not.”

Luo Xin gave his father a thumbs up, and Luo Ping laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, I am playing with your father."

"Hey..." Luo Xin laughed dryly.

"Xin'er, do you want to use your family's money to buy a field?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin nodded: "This is a good opportunity. Don't say that there will be no such cheap land after this year. Who will sell land when the days slow down? At that time, even if you want to buy land, you won't be able to buy it."

"Then how much are you going to buy?" Luo Ping's eyes lit up. As a farmer of his ancestors, he has an unusual obsession with buying land.

"One hundred acres!" Luo Xin thought about it and said, "With this one hundred acres of land, as long as there is no famine, our family's life will not have any problems."

"There must be no problem!" Luo Ping said with a grin, but then he hesitated and said, "But in this way, our family will not have much money. You still need to study, if you are selected as a scholar, you still have to travel... ..."

"Think of ways to make money again!" Luo Xin laughed.

Luo Ping rolled his eyes and said, "Where is it so easy?"

"Father, let's buy another piece of land in the village, a piece of land that is not farmland, and build a small village. The land is cheap at this time."

Luo Ping frowned and said: "The land is cheap at this time, but it costs so much... Forget it, anyway, you earned the money, so you can buy it if you want. But if you want to build a village, I'm afraid the rest The money is also used up. The family will have no money, and there will be no bottom to live in that day!"

"We can repair the fence first, and build a few houses inside, and build it slowly when we have money."

"That's right!" Luo Ping nodded.

While talking, the father and father had already returned to Shanglin Village by driving the ox cart.

Yanglin County.

Inside the inn.

Xu Luqing pushed open the door, and was stunned: "Mr. Xiao, why are you back?"

Xiao Wumou smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid Lu Tingfang has seen through our scheme."

"what?"

Xu Luqing's expression changed. Although he was very resistant to treating Lu Tingfang like this, he didn't want Lu Tingfang to see through Xiao Wumou's plan.In this way, Lu Tingfang will definitely hate her father's ruthlessness deeply and become her father's enemy.He can sympathize with a fool, but he cannot tolerate a wise man.

"I went to visit Lu Tingfang, and the housekeeper of Lu Mansion told me that Lu Tingfang had gone out. But you and I both know that he didn't go out. I think he had already left for Jinyang Mansion through the back door when he learned that I was going to visit. Let's go It’s a bad move! If I don’t visit him, maybe he’s still hesitating, but my visit will make him understand everything. It’s me who underestimated everyone in the world!”

Xu Luqing sat silently on the chair, Xiao Wumou looked at Xu Luqing and said, "Lu Qing, this time I recruited an enemy for Master Xu."

Xu Luqing waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry about it. Even if Lu Tingfang figured it out, she couldn't say it, because no one would believe it. On the contrary, it would give the Yan Party a chance to attack my father. Lu Tingfang's resentment towards Yan Song, even if he endured it, he would not give Yan Song this chance. Moreover, after this incident, Lu Tingfang will no longer have the possibility of becoming an official, so he is not our enemy at all, and is insignificant."
