Chapter 428: Surprised
When Dianjiang came to Xu's house, he also explained to the Xu family and his wife why Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an visited, they wanted to discuss their knowledge with Xu Chongwen.
So in the seating arrangement just now, Xu Yongyi deliberately arranged for Zhao Jingli to sit in the position of the guest of honor, followed by Zhao Jingan, and Xu Chongwen accompanied Zhao Jing'an under the prime minister.
Zhao Jingtai's little fat man followed his sister to sit at the bottom of the Xie family on the other side, and Xu Xuejing accompanied the last seat.
When Zhao Ruxi and Xu Yongyi were chatting about business experience, Xu Chongwen also chatted with Zhao Jing'an, asking him where he was studying and whether he would participate in next year's children's exam.
However, Xu Yongyi became excited, his voice was a little loud, and Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingan heard what he said.
Both of them looked at Zhao Ruxi curiously.
Zhao Jing'an asked Xu Chongwen in a low voice: "Your family's business is the idea of the fifth sister?" ”
"Not really." Speaking of this, Xu Chongwen's face was full of gratitude, "The cold salad was made up by Xiaoxi. Sugar-fried chestnuts are also what she taught us to fry. If it weren't for the two crafts she taught, my family wouldn't be able to afford to rent a house here, and I wouldn't be able to enter your Zhao family to learn. ”
Zhao Ruxi heard this and said with a smile: "I just saw someone mention it in the book, and told my uncle and aunt, and they studied it for a long time before finally deciding on the formula." That's it, I don't do anything, they have to give me a share every month. ”
It's true.
Even though she has money now, Xu Yongyi still insists on giving her a proportional share.
She said this to explain to the Zhao brothers that the Xu family did not take advantage of her at all, and their character did not need to be questioned.
Such an explanation is necessary. The question that had just popped up in Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an's hearts was dispelled at once.
"Isn't that how it should be? There are more people in the world who can make more death, how many ways are there to make money? Xiaoxi, you have come up with a way to make money, and it is natural to divide it. Xu Yongyi said with a smile.
Xie also agreed.
Zhao Ruxi didn't bring the twins over to listen to this, she opened her mouth to ask about Xu Chongwen's homework.
Zhao Ruxi's excellent performance in the academy, Xu Chongwen often heard Xu Xue talk about it.
Although Bac Ninh Women's Academy is a women's academy, because of its nature and the relationship between the bride price, the people who go there to teach are all famous jinshi, and the level of teaching is higher than that of the Zhao family's masters, so Xu Chongwen has the heart to ask Zhao Ruxi for advice.
At this time, when he saw Zhao Ruxi asking him, he took out the questions he usually encountered when he was studying and asked Zhao Ruxi for advice, and Zhao Ruxi did not hide them, and answered them one by one.
Between the two of them, Zhao Jingan and Zhao Jingli found that something was wrong.
How do you feel that Zhao Ruxi's knowledge is still above Xu Chongwen?
"Fifth sister, why are you so familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics? Could it be that in addition to learning to paint and teaching those officials to paint, you are also studying the Four Books and the Five Classics? Zhao Jingli couldn't help but ask.
Xu Xue had been sitting quietly for a long time, but at this moment she couldn't help but say, "Sister is amazing." In less than half a year, I jumped directly from Class D to Class A, and during the annual examination, our college shared a set of questions with the Beijing Women's Academy, and my sister directly took the first place in the exam. ”
Zhao Jing'an and Zhao Jingli were shocked.
Although the students of the women's academy are not keen on taking the imperial examination, they have not been able to get any famous exams for so many years. But there are still smart women. The masters of the Beijing Women's Academy are all great Confucians, and the students in the academy who rank first in the academy are really likely to be evenly matched if they are pulled out to compare their knowledge with the students of Guozijian.
Zhao Ruxi was able to take the first place in the annual examination, which shows that the Four Books and Five Classics are very powerful. No wonder Xu Chongwen asked her for advice just now.
Zhao Jing'an immediately asked Zhao Ruxi about the articles he usually didn't understand, and then found that Zhao Ruxi not only explained the Tao at the top, but also said it very easy to understand, and when he heard it, he was more powerful than many masters.
Now Zhao Jing took it with peace of mind.
"Fifth sister, isn't the master of your academy particularly good? If only Brother Xu and I could go to your girls' academy to study. Zhao Jingan said with emotion.
Zhao Ruxi quipped: "Unless you become a woman, you really can't get in." ”
This made everyone laugh.
Xu Chongwen finished laughing and asked suspiciously: "Brother Jing'an, you said that you want to participate in the imperial examination, why don't you go to the academy to study?" ”
When he was chatting with Zhao Jing'an just now, he knew that Zhao Jing'an had no master to teach, but was self-learning at home, so he was very puzzled.
In his opinion, the Zhao family's master's knowledge is really good. Sure enough, he deserves to be able to be admitted to the Jinshi and the lifter. Zhao Jing's placement of such good resources is not needed, but he is studying by himself at home, which is really a tyrannical thing.
Zhao Jingan smiled awkwardly and did not speak.
Can he say that in the past, it was the eldest uncle who came to teach them, and he didn't look down on the masters and classmates of the clan studies?
Zhao Ruxi glanced at the two of them and did not speak.
Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an are also fourteen or fifteen years old, and they decide how to go their own way, even Zhao Yuanxun is not easy to interfere with.
She turned her head and whispered to Xu Xue about her script.
"I wrote another book and sold it to the bookstore, still according to the old rules. I have received a total of twenty-five taels of silver for the first two scripts. Sister, fortunately, you gave me this method, not only do you get a lot of money, but also have long-term benefits, and the shopkeeper always sells my books first when he sells them. My fame has risen, and I can bring them benefits. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Xue was full of smiles.
The whisper of the sisters was heard by Zhao Jingtai, who was at the tip of his ear next to him.
He immediately shouted: "Sister Xu Xue, do you know how to write a script?" Also made a lot of money? Wow, you're amazing, aren't you? How did you write that? Why don't you teach me too? ”
As a child in his early teens, Zhao Ruxi felt that he would sooner or later become a little old man after reading the Four Books and Five Classics all day.
Therefore, when I see suitable leisure books such as travelogues and scripts in the bookstore, I will also buy them for Zhao Jingtai to read.
These books are naturally much more interesting than those obscure and difficult to understand the Four Books and Five Classics, and Zhao Jingtai is extremely fond of them.
At this time, when he heard that Xu Xue could write a script and make money, his eyes when he looked at Xu Xue were like little stars.
Zhao Ruxi and Xu Xue lowered their voices when they spoke, Zhao Jingtai didn't, he shouted so loudly that everyone in the room heard it.
Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an both looked at Xu Xue in surprise.
Xu Xue's face was flushed with shame.
Xu Yongyi was very proud of his daughter, and boasted: "It's not." Xiaoxue has a talent for writing articles. Later, Xiaoxi led her into the academy and encouraged her to write a script, and now she has sold three scripts and received a salary of more than 20 taels of silver. Although the money is not much, this is only the beginning, Xiaoxue is young, and she may be able to write a better script in the future, so everyone will rush to buy it. ”
"Dad, don't talk about it." Xu Xue said embarrassedly, "I'm just scribbling, and I can't get on the stage." ”
