Xu Xi looked at the piece of paper.

This is an admission notice, and the admission time stated on it is two days later; At the same time, it is also stated that the college can apply to live on campus or live at home. If you live in the school, you need to pay ten taels of silver, and the bedding will be uniformly allocated by the college. The college adopts a ten-month holiday system, with one day off every ten days. Students who live in the dormitory are only allowed to return home during the mid-term break.

Xu Xi thanked her mother-in-law, and after leaving with Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi, she showed Xu Yongyi the admission instructions.

Xu Yongyi read the above content, beckoned the two to get on the mule cart, and then asked, "Sister Xi, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Xi shook his head: "Let's go back and discuss it." ”

She wants to live in the school, not only to avoid the entanglement of the Hou Mansion, but also to have a good relationship with her classmates.

These classmates are carefully selected by the academy, and their conduct, IQ, and EQ are all excellent. In the future, no matter what you do, you will definitely be productive. It is undoubtedly a great asset to be able to make friends with them.

But in the case of the Xu family, sending three children to study is already emptying the family's funds, where can she pay another twenty taels of silver for her and Xu Xue to live in school? Let her live alone, her conscience is troubled. She is not a child of the Xu family now, and she is ashamed to use the money left by Xu Yongzeng and his wife, where can she use it alone and leave Xu Xue behind?

So it's a bit of a trick to do.

If the Hou Mansion has recognized her now and given her money, then she is not hypocritical. But don't you recognize it yet? This incident is completely different from the original plot, and there may be changes in the future. The Bi Academy will have to pay the money the day after tomorrow, whether it is the Hou Mansion or her own money, far water will not be able to save the thirst.

Therefore, if you can't live or not, it depends on how the follow-up Hou Mansion will be arranged. She now hopes that Xu Yongyi's family will move to the county, and she can find a way for them to make money.

After clarifying her thoughts, she said to Xu Yongyi: "Uncle, I don't live in the academy anymore, so I live at home." It's just not a small banyan village, but a house in the county. ”

She looked out the car window: "Let's not rush home now, let Uncle Qian find a place to stop, let's take a look around the county and see if we can find a way to make money." ”

Xu Yongyi only felt that she was talking childishly.

He has been working in the county for many years, and he can't think of a way to make money every day. Xu Xi, a little girl who has not experienced anything in the world, can think of a way to make money just by turning around?

But he is not good at pouring cold water on Xu Xi. Anyway, the two of them were admitted to the women's academy, which was a big joy, and it was a celebration to go shopping and buy something.

The three got out of the car and walked around the street.

Although Xu Xi has the memory of the original owner, he is no stranger to the ancient street market. But it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes, and everything she saw was new.

However, I don't know if the county is not lively enough, or the commerce in ancient times was not prosperous enough, and there are not many people on the street.

"Uncle, are there usually so many people on the street?" She asked.

"Not really." Xu Yongyi said with a smile, "Every fifth and tenth days are gatherings, and there are many people at that time, and walking is crowded." ”

"Oh." Xu Xi nodded.

She walked through the shops on the street one by one, stopped to buy some snacks, and beckoned Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi to eat together. Xu Yongyi didn't eat it, and she didn't force it, but she and Xu Xue wanted to taste it.

She didn't want Xu Yongyi to pay, she spent the pocket money that Xie usually gave her.

The rent of the house in the city is one tael a month, and the Xie family will give her five hundred wen. But the original owner doesn't go out of the village, and there is nowhere to spend money, the new clothes and everything are given to her by the Xie family, and she will definitely have Xu Xue, so the original owner saved all the money. After two years, there were twelve taels of silver.

The 200 yuan for the exam was originally covered by Xu Xi, but Xu Yongyi and Xie refused to do so. Xu Xi only got his share.

Xu Xue rarely comes to the county, but this time she and Xu Xi have walked the streets thoroughly, and they have tasted so many snacks, they are so excited that they are addicted.

Xu Yongyi quietly glared at her: "Your cousin has a few dollars in her hand, and you spent a lot of money on this visit." Don't eat it, you won't be able to eat when you go back for a while. ”

Xu Xue stuck out her tongue, and when Xu Xi asked her to eat, she waved her hand and said she wouldn't eat.

Xu Xi couldn't eat it either.

Although these snacks are not expensive, a roasted cake costs one penny, half a catty of mung bean cake costs eight cents, and a bowl of meat wontons costs five cents. Xu Xi wanted to taste the taste, so he would buy everything, some only tasted one bite, and the rest was wrapped in oiled paper and put in the baggage. After walking around like this, the three of them spent a total of fifty or sixty yuan.

Xu Yongyi carried the burden and walked the streets and alleys, selling in the countryside for a day, and only made such a profit. In the eyes of the villagers, their behavior today can be described as a loser.

What's more, the registration fee for her and Xu Xue to apply for the girls' academy cost 400 yuan. The tuition fee for the next half year will add up to four taels of silver. Once the two are promoted to Class C, the tuition fee is higher.

Now she can't get in and out, and even if she thinks that this money is a necessary expense, she still feels painful to spend it.

didn't eat snacks, but Xu Xi didn't stop, and still went into every shop to look around and understand the progress of various industries in this era.

Finally, Xu Xi's footsteps stopped in front of a silver building: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

Xu Xue hurriedly pulled Xu Xi's sleeve, winked at her, and whispered, "We don't have money to buy jewelry." ”

Xu Yongyi also showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

Although he did not hesitate to spend money on Xu Xi, now the family has to provide for the three of them to study, which is a large expense. In addition to tuition, there are also pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Even if there is a rent of twelve taels of silver a year in the county, it is still stretched, where is the spare money to buy jewelry?

Reasoning, Xu Xi and Xu Xue are going to study in the girls' academy, so they should make them a few satin dresses and buy a few pieces of jewelry that they can handle, so as not to be looked down upon by their female classmates. But the family really doesn't have this ability. The few money in Xu Xi's hand, she has to care about the restraint and other expenses she will have to enter the academy in the future, but she can't spend it all.

Xu Xi waved his hand: "I'll just go in and have a look." As he spoke, he didn't care about the reaction of the father and daughter, and stepped directly into the store.

Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi had to follow.

"Girl, what do you want to see?" A guy had already greeted him and asked Xu Xi.

Xu Xi looked around the store and saw the shiny glass inlaid on the counter, and sighed in his heart, and his eyes were on the jewelry on the counter.

The jewelry placed in this place on the first floor is naturally not of high value, it is all light silver jewelry, and the style is also very ordinary.

Xu Xi glanced at it twice and said to the guy: "My mother's birthday has arrived, and I want to give my mother a piece of jewelry with a more chic style." Do you have a sample book? Pick it up for me. ”
