Xiao Qi was satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face: "Good son." Okay, I'll have the deed and gold delivered to you in a moment. ”

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Lingyan saluted and happily withdrew.

He studied industrial design in modern times, and wanted to use his major to design and improve some of the things that would work in this era for the war two years later, such as vehicles, such as trebuchets and crossbows, and even lighters.

Although weapons such as trebuchets and crossbows were under the control of the Ministry of War, the place was too sensitive. Instead of alerting people and startling snakes, it is better to run in the Ministry of Industry and secretly develop it.

There were blacksmiths, carpenters, and all sorts of craftsmen, and he went from place to place to make one or two parts, and others thought he was young and was having fun. When the time comes, find a hidden place and assemble it, and it will be a powerful weapon.

So what he wanted to enter at the beginning was the Ministry of Industry, not the Ministry of War, let alone the Ministry of Households.

deliberately dangling a shot, just to ask for some benefits. Today, he broke the fortune and sent a shop to Xu Xi, and he came back in less than two hours, so he was not in a good mood.

Xu Xi didn't know that her fellow villagers had already begun to lay out, and she and Xiao Lingyan got off the carriage in front of the Xu family's house shortly after they broke up with Bao Zhai.

In the courtyard, in order to attend the banquet today, Xu Yongyi specially canceled the supply of stalls everywhere, got up early in the morning to mix the cold stall dishes needed by the major restaurants, and took a bath and changed into a new silk gown that Xu Xue had ordered for him in the embroidery village.

"This garment is good, this garment is good." Seeing that her husband, son, and daughter had all changed into new clothes, and the whole person was completely new, she couldn't help but nod her head again and again.

"It's still Xiaoxue who has vision." Xu Yongyi's eyes were full of relief and happiness when he looked at his daughter.

Fortunately, he listened to Xiaoxi's persuasion and asked Xiaoxue to go with her to take the entrance examination for the girls' academy.

The daughter studied in the girls' academy, and the masters and classmates she came into contact with were all wealthier than his family, and their status was higher than his.

There, Xu Xue didn't look at a lot of things, and wrote a book that could be sold for money, and the temperament of the whole person changed, and she was no longer the little village girl she used to be, and she was afraid of inferiority. Her self-confidence and vision have risen a lot.

For example, this time, when she accompanied them to the embroidery village, she no longer only shrank behind her mother as before, for fear of being eaten, but put forward her own requirements with a calm demeanor, and then selected and considered, and finally took the idea to choose the fabric, color and style that she thought was most suitable for them.

Later, she accompanied her mother to buy jewelry in Bao Zhai, and listened to her wife say that she seemed to see Xiaoxi's shadow from her daughter, who was generous and confident, and could talk to the shopkeeper there.

"Isn't it? The jewelry Xiaoxue picked out for me is beautiful and not expensive. Xie Shi smiled.

The shopkeeper Wang of Bao Zhai is generous, Xu Xue went to the silver building with Zhao Ruxi, so the jewelry sold to them was greatly discounted, almost at cost price.

Although Xie has to work hard every day to supervise those people picking and washing vegetables, he does not have to work in the field, he is exposed to the sun and rain, and his skin is much fairer. After using the paste that Zhao Ruxi gave her, her skin was a little more delicate than before, and it was no longer so rough.

Now that she is wearing new clothes, Xiaoxue combs her hair in a bun and puts on jewelry, and the whole person seems to be ten years younger.

Xu Yongyi's gaze stayed on his wife's face, and his eyes were gentle.

He said: "Now we have so much input every day, don't be so economical, lady, you should go with Xiaoxue to buy more clothes and jewelry." What others can have, you can have too. You have suffered with me for so many years, and now that life is better, you should eat, wear, and wear, don't save it. ”

Xie Shi said angrily: "What you said is light, the money is hard, and it is not too easy to spend." I work in the workshop all day, why do I wear so good? There is such a new set of clothes, just wear it when you go out. It's Chongwen and Xiaoxue, who are studying in the academy, need to make a few more new clothes, so as not to be looked down upon. ”

Xu Yongyi turned his eyes to look at a pair of children and nodded: "That's right." But I can still afford to buy you a few new clothes. ”

"Mother, don't save it. I also make money. The booklet I wrote, the shopkeeper came out with six taels of silver, but my sister signed a long-term deed for my good, and I will be able to share the money after a while. In the future, I can make more money by writing scripts. I can take care of myself, you don't have to save me money. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yongyi and Xie were full of pride.

When they saw Xiao Xi scurrying around Xiao Xue and tinkering with some script, they thought it was a little girl's game. Anyway, it's a good thing to write and draw, so they don't care. I don't expect Xiaoxue to write words that can be sold for money.

What so many people can't do. For example, Xu Chongwen's husband in his private school can't write a book that sells money. Otherwise, isn't it better to spend half a month writing a book and earn a few taels of silver than to teach these hairy children to read?

As a result, I didn't expect that Xiaoxue not only wrote a script, but also sold it for money.

When they heard about it, they couldn't believe their ears.

Hearing Xu Xue's words, Xu Chongwen's mood was the most complicated.

In the whole family, he is the one who can't make money and spends the most money. He is almost sixteen years old this year, and according to his mother, he is at the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, but he can't earn a penny, and he spends so much money in his family to study, he is ashamed and depressed.

Xu Xue has been following the methods taught to her by her sister and carefully observing everyone.

She was a smart child, and after doing so for a while, she found that if the person didn't mean to hide his emotions, she could guess what was going on in someone else's mind by looking at his expression.

At this time, although Xu Chongwen tried his best to control his emotions, Xu Xue still saw his thoughts at a glance.

"Brother, my sister said, your task now is to study, study hard, and strive for fame. Although our family is rich now, didn't you listen to your father? Some time ago, there were people who wanted to fight our idea of buying and selling, and wanted to buy our recipe at a low price. If it weren't for my father revealing that I was studying at the Women's Academy and had something to do with the Suiping Bofu, that person wouldn't know what tricks he was going to do. ”

"If you are admitted to Xiucai, raise people, or even become an official in the future, will those people dare to fight our family's idea? So our family's greatest hope is on you. This time, my sister tried her best to send you to the Zhao family to study, which is also what it means. It's better to rely on people than to rely on it, let's pull the banner of Suiping Bofu, how many times can we pull it? Our family can only rely on ourselves. ”
