Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 81

"You have made a lot of money in the business of moisturizing cream, but in the final analysis, you are just lowly businessmen, not as good as the official family. Once Cheng Yao becomes an official, not only the family can change the appearance, but even if you If it's distributed, can't you also follow it? Other merchants will also give you points if you say it, and you won't suffer any losses."

The old lady said this very condescendingly, and her tone was taken for granted, as if Yun Chengyao was sure that he would be a scholar before the exam.

However, Luo Jinxiu has always been really not sure whether Yun Chengyao is really good at reading. The rest of the Yun family always think that he is a Wenqu star descending to the earth. The whole family points to his prosperity and wishes to praise him to the sky. After talking too much, Yun Chengyao is really like a genius in the world.

Looking at Yun Chengyao himself, it seems that he can't see that he is uneasy, and it looks like that.

In this situation, it would be inappropriate for her to say something, so she kept silent and handed over the situation to Yun Jinghao, but she also knew in her heart that it would be hard for them to talk about the imperial examinations that the ancients valued. He didn't take any money, and let other people in the village know that the villagers who finally turned to them recently for planting medicinal materials and recruiting workers would inevitably talk about them behind their backs again.

Yun Jinghao silently listened to the old lady and Mrs. Zhang singing together and talking a lot, and when they stopped for a while, he asked, "How much did Cheng Yao spend for the exam?"

The expressions of the two brightened, they agreed to take the money! ?

The old lady immediately said: "At least 20 taels of silver are needed!"

Luo Jinxiu twitched the corners of her lips, her eyes full of sarcasm.

20 taels of silver?Why don't you support me to death?
Although she has never been to Fucheng, she also knows the approximate distance between Fucheng and the county seat. It takes about three days to hire a horse-drawn carriage. Some, two taels of silver for a week's stay is probably enough, plus three meals a day, saving one and five taels of silver is almost the same.

In order for Yun Chengyao to eat, drink and live better, ten taels of silver is enough, so what's the matter with double the price?

Moreover, judging by their reaction, it seems that they still want their family to give all the money?Oh, what a face!
Luo Jinxiu calculated this account clearly, and it was even more impossible for Yun Jinghao to be unclear. He even knew the price of the Fucheng, and the calculated expenses were more accurate than her estimate.

"There should be less than a month before the start of the college examination. Even if Cheng Yao will leave immediately tomorrow, the travel expenses, accommodation expenses, plus three meals a day until the return, should not cost as much as 20 taels. "

The old lady's face choked, she straightened her body and said: "When we arrive in Fucheng, everyone will be there to take care of us. Naturally, we have to take as much money as possible to feel at ease."

"What's more, there are many other students in Fucheng. Talking to them and exchanging knowledge matters, it is inevitable to invite them to eat, and the entertainment also costs money." Zhang's face was 'you don't understand the things about scholars'.

Luo Jinxiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's fine to let the men of his family pay for all the board, lodging and travel expenses, and let Jing Hao take even the money for Yun Chengyao's socializing and making connections outside, so why?To put it bluntly, is he Yun Chengyao's father?
There was also a trace of sarcasm in Yun Jinghao's seemingly indifferent eyes, and he was not in a hurry to give them an answer. Instead, he glanced at Yun Chengyao who was silent, as if it had nothing to do with him, "You also think that I should make this sum?" Money? 20 taels of silver?"

Yun Chengyao's expression was a little unnatural, and he felt guilty for a moment when he was stared at by his pitch-black eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said gently, "Brother Hall, I also know that grandma and my mother's demands are somewhat It’s too much, but the family has a large population, the cost is high, and I have to pay for my studies and exams. The burden is really not small. At present, I am unable to report, so I can only study hard, and I will double the compensation to my relatives after high school.”

The words sounded like that, but they clearly deliberately avoided the important and ignored the trivial, and were unwilling to respond directly.

This is obviously because he doesn't want to take the name of asking his cousin for money. He doesn't even have the responsibility that a man should have. What about high school? This kind of person is afraid that if he really gets some grades, he won't be able to achieve anything good official.

Yun Jinghao looked at her meaningfully for a while, then turned to the old lady and Mrs. Zhang who had been waiting impatiently, and said, "Cheng Yao's participation in the college examination is indeed no small matter, and as his cousin, I should do my part. "

A few days ago, Yun Jinghao and his wife had eaten too many times, and both the old lady and Mrs. Zhang thought that this time it would take a lot of effort, but they didn't expect Yun Jinghao to agree so quickly?The hearts of the two of them finally let go, and satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.

but!Before they could fully laugh, Yun Jinghao's second sentence froze their smiles.

"I can pay half of the money, and you need to pay the other half."

The old lady's complexion changed drastically, and she said sharply, "What do you mean!? Don't you pay the 20 taels of silver?"

Mrs. Zhang also frowned, "Jing Hao, you just heard what we said just now, as long as Cheng Yao is a scholar, you won't lose money from you in the future. The family earns less than you, it's only 20 taels of silver, you buy people I'm afraid I spent more than this amount of money, so why would I not even take this small amount of money for the sake of Cheng Yao? I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Yun Jinghao said solemnly: "It would be really inappropriate for me to give out all the 20 taels of silver. Whether our family makes a lot of money is our own business. It has nothing to do with this matter. I am just Cheng Yao's disciple." Brother, I am not his parents, so I am not obligated to pay for his education. If I give all the money and let other people in the village know, I must not poke the backs of other elders in the family, and say that you have to rely on one The younger generation who are assigned to provide for the family?"

The expressions of the old lady and Mrs. Zhang darkened, and Yun Chengyao's expression sank slightly.

Luo Jinxiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, covering the corners of her upturned mouth with the lid of the cup, and the slightly lowered eyelids also blocked the deep smile in her eyes.

"Scholars are the most taboo to lose their reputation. Not only their personal reputation, but the virtues of other members of the family will also affect their reputation. I think Cheng Yao should not want to wait until he is a scholar in the future, but others will say that he separated the family early because of someone else. Only my cousin can go to the exam, so I think half of the money can be paid out of love, and the other half should be paid by the family, and I must not take more money than the family."

They knew very well in their hearts that the so-called 20 taels of silver was only raised by the lion in order to exploit Yun Jinghao's mouth. Yun Chengyao really didn't need that much money. With a lot of money, Yun Jinghao naturally didn't need to take out ten taels of silver.

Even the old lady was willing to spend ten taels of money in order to get more of his ten taels of silver. The two of them, Yun Jinghao and Yun Jinghao, were really not short of the ten taels of silver. Cheap.

It took a lot of talking in a circle, but they came to such a result, and Yun Jinghao said everything to death, and the excuse they made made them unable to refute. After Yun Chengyao secretly winked, they could only Holding the ten taels of silver, he left the compound with an aggrieved expression on his face.

As soon as they left, Luo Jinxiu called Yun Kou, who usually liked to talk to villagers in her free time, and gave some instructions in a low voice. Yun Kou nodded, and walked out of the compound with a smile.

Yun Jinghao sat very close to her, heard her orders clearly, slightly raised the corners of his lips, looked at her gently and said, "Actually, there is no need for this. When they come to the compound, they must be seen by someone, no matter what It’s not like directly denying the fact that I took the money from me today.”

Luo Jinxiu snorted: "Even if it's like this, we have to guard against their petty tricks in advance. It's not too much to prepare for that family's 'killing little experts'."

Yun Jinghao didn't quite understand what a deadly expert was, but he could roughly guess what it meant. He just said casually that his wife was thinking of him, and he only had to be happy, regardless of whether the Yun family would feel unhappy.

It didn't take long for everyone in the village to hear about the fact that Yun Jinghao had subsidized half of the travel expenses for Yun Chengyao's exam in Fucheng, and they all gave Yun Jinghao their thumbs up for his kind behavior.

This made the Yun family, who wanted to release Feng Hei's words after returning home, exhausted, let alone angry.

Fortunately, the people in the village also remembered that Yun Chengyao was going to take the exam. Li Zheng's family came to greet him and offered some money, and other people in the village also came to take care of him more or less, leaving some money, and the Yun family still got it A small windfall.

Two days later, Yun Chengyao took the money to the town and hired a carriage to go to Fucheng to prepare for the exam.

This little girl Yun Kou is really clever. I don't know where I learned that Yun Chengyao originally planned to leave six or seven days later, but he suddenly changed his attention and moved ahead. The reason is probably only he himself knows. up.

It's not that the people in the Yun family don't feel sorry for Yun Chengyao going to the exam and taking away a sum of money from the family, but they all know that there is no way to do it, they can only hope that Yun Chengyao can become a scholar in one fell swoop, and let them all follow the chickens and dogs to heaven .

Also because they were thinking about Yun Chengyao's exam, the Yun family had no other thoughts for the time being, but Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu had a relatively quiet life.

In addition to the group of people Yun Jinghao hired to help them build the workshop, there are also his brothers from the Anbaotang. The Anbaotang has opened, and these people will live in the county town in the future. Luo Jinxiu also happened to get to know them.

They are all straightforward and cheerful military men. Luo Jinxiu and Aunt Ji brought two maids to cook a few sumptuous meals for them and buy some good wine for them. After a few calls from their sister-in-law, they got along very quickly. Harmonious, compared to getting along with the Yun family and other three aunts and six women in the village, it is much more relaxed and happy.
