Chapter 229: Chinese New Year's Eve Talk
These things are all painstaking, every stitch and thread is all painstaking effort, I am afraid that where the embroidery is not good, others will not look down on it at that time.
This is also Xuan's idea, Liu can't think about it so much, of course she is happy to have this big business, but she hasn't thought about the future.
It was Xuan's who kept reminding her that this business had to be done well, and people would look good in the future, and it was estimated that they would come to them, and Liu felt that it made sense, so he was also extra troubled.
After seeing the things they embroidered, Wu smiled and said, "Okay, it's really good, I can't complain that people are willing to spend so much money to buy it, these embroideries are used as dowries, they are very beautiful." ”
Wanrong and Si Yao also thought it was good-looking, and they thought that their embroidery work was already passable, but such a comparison was really incomparable.
Wu said, "How is it? Is there a time? ”
Liu nodded, "Don't worry, according to the current progress, it is in time, and it can be completed early, that is, my younger siblings and I are busy with this, and we really don't have time to do the work at home. ”
Wu smiled and said, "What's this, there are these girls to help me, anyway, the winter clothes are not made yet, everyone has new clothes to wear during the New Year, you are important in this matter, you can get so much silver if you do it well." ”
"Where can we find so much silver? Facing the loess with his back to the sky, working like a cow and horse, he will collect so much grain all year round, and he has to pay a lot to the imperial court, it is rare to have such an opportunity, but he has to seize it. ”
Liu and Xuan are very grateful, this mother-in-law is reasonable, and the two of them are also very blessed.
If this is the mother-in-law of an ordinary family, you have to do it, and you have to earn the money, and you have to hand it over to the public.
The Wu family never mentioned handing over the money to the public school, and they always said that they should keep it for themselves.
It is important for a woman to marry a good husband, but it is also important to have a good mother-in-law, otherwise it will be enough for you to be sad every day.
After talking in the side room for a while, the men in the upper room were almost drinking and eating, and Liu and Xuan put down their things and went to wash the dishes and chopsticks in the house.
Siqi and a few of them came back from outside, Lin Changyuan took out the cannons he bought, lit a fire in the yard, and threw the cannonballs directly into the fire, the sound was really loud, Zichen was so frightened that he hid behind the Xuan family.
The night was lively, but I was really happy, let go of the artillery battle, the family gathered in the upper room again, lit a brazier, and everyone gathered around to talk.
Zijun said, "Grandpa, grandma, I want to take the exam next year to see if I can pass the exam, I don't have the ability of my brother-in-law, and I will be very happy if I can go to school in the county." ”
Lin Dezheng said, "Okay, you just try your best to take the test, don't push yourself too much, we told you before, as long as you take the test well, no matter what, your family will support you, how much ability you have to stay there, the greatest blessing of people is to know how to be content, do you understand?" ”
Zijun smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, I know, don't worry." ”
Anyway, he tried his best to take the exam, if he could go to Fuxue, of course it would be good, and he would have the fame of Xiucai directly, but if he went to Fuxue, he had to live in Fucheng, and it would be a big expense at that time.
And in terms of tuition fees alone, the government school is also higher than the county school, what he thought in his heart was that it was not bad to stay in the county school, the fifth uncle was also studying in the county school at the beginning, and later he was also promoted.
If the fifth uncle can, then he must be able to, the fifth uncle studies very hard, he can also use his work, anyway, he can't waste the family's money.
Lin Dezheng asked Zikang again, "You and your brother entered school in the same year, but he is two years older than you, you see if you want to try it next year." ”
Zikang shook his head and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I'll go back in two years, let my brother try it first, if both of us go to the county school to study, there will be no one at home to help." ”
In fact, the two brothers are not much different in learning, they both study together, and he just doesn't want the family to spend too much money.
Now there are three students in the family, and the tuition fee for a year is not too old, and it is even higher to go to the county school, if he and his brother both enter the county school, they will have to use a lot of money in a year.
It's still for the sake of the family, take your time, he's not too big now anyway, and he can wait another two years.
Lin Dezheng could naturally hear what he was thinking, but he didn't say it, just nodded, "Okay, anyway, you can take the test when you want to." ”
"There are a lot of people in our Lin family who read, your father's generation is your fifth uncle's reading more, and in your generation, all of them are studious, this is a good thing, grandpa will let you study no matter what, if you all have a chance, our Lin family is really confident in this Wanhe Town."
In this way, the brothers are more ambitious, so they have to study hard, and wait for that day to come, when the family will live in a big mansion in a beautiful manner.
Lin was also happy when he heard this, and said with a smile, "The coming year will be a good year, I think about it and I will be happy in my heart, let's plant cotton and longevity fruits, which will yield a lot, and find a way to make money from this." ”
"Zijun is going to take the exam, and the fifth child is also coming back for the scientific examination, I hope that the fifth child can pass the exam, after studying for so many years, if he fails the exam again, I am afraid that he will feel uncomfortable."
Xuanshi said, "Don't worry, mother, the fifth brother has an idea, he must be studying well outside, this time it's no problem." ”
Thinking on the side, at this time, the scientific examination was really not as simple as she said, she had seen it in Fuxue before, many people with gray hair were still studying, and they had to continue the scientific examination.
Some people have taken the exam all their lives, but in the end they are still a showman, or even a child, which is uncertain.
However, the fifth uncle must be more capable, after all, he was already a man in his teens, which is very rare in a small place like Wanhe Town.
The land in her name can be exempted from taxes, and it would be nice if her two brothers could also be famous, and the family could save some food.
Everyone had a good chat this night, and before we knew it, it was time to come.
Lin Changyuan went out and set off a firecracker, and after the lively sound, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and as usual, the children woke up and put on new clothes next to them, put on their own clothes, went out to wash and clean, and then went to the upper room to find their grandparents to receive red envelopes.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone is happy, even if they want to eat the spicy and choking Wuxin plate in the morning, and drink the strange-tasting Tusu wine, but this can't reduce the joy of the New Year.
