Chapter Ninety-Six: Unhappy
It didn't take long for the system's voice to sound again: "Host, you can earn points quickly." I went to the mall and rummaged through it, and I found that there was a spiritual enlightenment pill that increased spirituality and understanding. As long as you can earn enough points to eat it, you will definitely be better than the blue, better than Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Zhang, who are guided by famous teachers. Zhao Ruyu: Even if she has a famous teacher's guidance, she will definitely not be able to compare to you. ”
Xu Xi's expression suddenly became indifferent, and he asked with a wooden face, "Just say it, how many points?" "The Agility Pill costs 20,000, what kind of Spirit Enlightenment Pill is this, it definitely can't be cheap.
Sure enough, the next moment the system came with a voice with a significant qi deficiency: "Five...... Fifty thousand. ”
"Cut." Xu Xi sneered and stopped caring about the system.
She's also very aura when she paints, okay? Is it okay that her perception is not low at all? What Lingwu pills to eat? What should I do if I overdo it?
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. Let's go back and get the things ready for painting, and we'll start painting in the next class. Mrs. Zhang said above.
Xu Xi packed up his things and followed Xu Xue out of the teaching house, and when he was about to leave the academy, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, Xu Xi asked, "Have you gone to find the books you need?" What is missing, my brother has it, right? ”
"Well, I found it, it's all on the table in your room. My brother also has laws and history books, so I can copy a set. Xu Xuedao.
Xu Xi nodded, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and handed it to Xu Xue: "You ask your brother to accompany you to buy things, don't go alone, you don't know if things are good or bad, be careful of being cheated." You can take the money that you can't use up first, and you still have things to buy for other classes, so you can buy them all together when the time comes. I'll pay it back when you have money in the future, don't worry. ”
Xu Xue saw that it was a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and quickly put the silver ticket back with Xu Xi's hand, and looked around like a thief, and found that there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
She said angrily, "Where you need so much, you can borrow me twenty taels of silver." I just buy paints and some necessary pens and paper, and I don't buy much, I don't really need much money. ”
"It's inconvenient for me to enter and exit, you take this silver ticket, go to the money bank with your brother, and change the silver ticket to a small amount. The excess will be returned to me when the time comes. Xu Xi said.
She really didn't have twenty taels of silver or silver tickets. The twenty taels that Zhu gave her for pocket money were spent partly when she handed over the bundle, and the rest was not enough.
"Thank you, sister." said that he would borrow Xu Xi's money, but Xu Xue did not shirk it, and took the silver ticket to put it away.
Xu Xi originally said that he would help her buy all the things together, but Xu Xue still felt that she had bought it well. The main thing is that she wants to save money herself, and the things she buys will not be too good; If Xu Xi used the same thing as her, she felt that Xu Xi had been wronged, and it also made her classmates look down on Xu Xi, so she supported buying it herself.
Xu Xi asked her to observe carefully, and she also discovered in the past two days that Zhang Lu should be a high and low character. Because his clothes and jewelry are completely different grades from Xu Xi's, Zhang Lu's attitude towards the two is very different. And the reason why she is willing to change seats with Mu Qingqiang should be to curry favor with Mu Qingqiang, after all, Mu Qingqiang is a little better than Xu Xilai in terms of food and clothing.
In addition to Zhang Lu, she has also carefully observed others. found that most of the classmates in the class were good, but there were a few who still showed the same temperament as Zhang Lu. It's just that some people cover it up well, and some people behave like Zhang Lu.
With such observations, Xu Xue was naturally reluctant to let Xu Xi accommodate himself to use low-grade things, so as not to be looked down upon.
Xu Xi returned to the Hou Mansion, first went to the old lady's side to say goodbye, and saw that the eldest lady was also present, so he took out a piece of paper of calligraphy, paintings, musical instruments, and books used in the Four Books and Five Classics, laws, and history books she wrote on the paper, and handed it to the eldest lady: "Auntie, in the course held by the academy in the past two days, the master offered to buy these things. You see if there is a treasury in the house; If not, I'll ask Qingfeng to buy it outside. ”
After receiving the silver given to her by the eldest lady that day, Xu Xi would not be materially hypocritical with the Hou Mansion. Books in ancient times were very expensive, and it cost more than ten or twenty taels of silver to buy a set of books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, the Law, and the History Books. The special pens, paints, and paper for calligraphy and painting are not insignificant. Not to mention the amount of money it costs to get a good zither.
These things are fully purchased, and the better ones cost a hundred taels of silver. Even if the Hou Mansion didn't come up with this money, but planned to let her out of the monthly silver and the money given on that day, Xu Xi would have to let the old lady and the eldest lady know about this expense.
I didn't support her for more than ten years in the first ten years, and if I was reluctant to pay for the cost of studying after I took it back, I was counting on her to pull out the Hou Mansion when she came out in the future, how could there be such a cost-effective deal in the world? She had to try the old lady and the big lady in this respect.
The eldest lady took it and looked at it, and thought for a while: "I remember that there are several pianos in the warehouse, you can go and pick one later; There should be other papers, pens, and paints, so you can take a look at them as well. If not, when you take a break, I'll ask Mama Ruan to accompany you outside to buy it. ”
"I'll see." The old lady stretched out her hand, took the paper from the eldest lady's hand, and held it up to the distance and looked at the contents with half-squinted eyes.
After a while, she put down the paper in her hand and said to the eldest lady: "Ruyu probably has to ask for these things, and when she comes in a while, you can take them to pick them up together." ”
The eldest lady frowned slightly, glanced at the old lady, and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
She turned her head and said to Xu Xi, "Are you hungry?" Why don't you go to dinner first, and I'll take you to pick up something after dinner?" ”
Xu Xi wanted to tell the two of them about Mrs. Cui asking her to take the imperial examination, but she didn't bother to say anything at this time, so she nodded and said, "Okay." He stood up and bowed, and walked out.
The old lady waited for Xu Xi to go out, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but the eldest lady stood up and said, "It's time for dinner, I'll let someone pass you food, right?" Master Hou, they are waiting for me, and I will also go back to the big room for dinner. After a while, when Ruyu came, I bothered you to tell her, and said that she would come over after dinner, and I would take them to pick up something. ”
said a low blessing and withdrew.
The old lady's mouth was open and did not close for a long time.
After a long time, she sighed and complained to Mama Jin: "What did I do wrong? Isn't it just for her to wait for Ruyu to come and pick things together? Just give me a face. As he spoke, his face was full of displeasure.
Mama Jin was originally the old lady's dowry maid, and she was her most trusted subordinate in the house. The old lady wanted to send someone to verify Xu Xi's guess, so she naturally had to tell her confidants. And Mama Jin is the one who knows the inside story the most.
