After watching the excitement, the surrounding neighbors were still muttering in their hearts that Zhao Dashan was too generous, and he rewarded people with three taels of silver without blinking, and the Liu family purchased that table of banquets, which was not enough for half a tael.

They envied the good luck of the Liu family, and thought in their hearts that when Zhao Dashan went to their house, they would also do everything they could to make people happy, maybe Zhao Dashan would be happy and give them much more reward than the Liu family.

After the neighbors in the yard left, Liu's father closed the courtyard door, and happily lost his teeth: "My good daughter, you are really capable, you can let people waive all our interest and capital with your mouth, and you can get so much silver out of thin air."

You can rest assured, your father will not forget your merits, and these ten taels of silver will buy you a rich dowry. When the time comes, your mother-in-law will give you up. ”

Although Liu's father is greedy for money and afraid of things, he still has a bit of a responsibility to be a father to his daughter.

Then he smiled and said to his thirteen-year-old son: "Qing'er, this silver is kept for you to marry your daughter-in-law, let's build a blue brick house first, and then buy it more than ten acres of land."

Alas, it's better to be like this, give me my daughter's ten taels of silver, let's use all the money to buy land, and then our Liu family can be a landlord comfortably. When the girl gets married, I will accompany you with three acres of land, which is more useful than any money. ”

Liu E's younger brother and mother both nodded with a smile on their faces, and Liu's father's disposal of these money can be said to be very popular with them.

If you have money, what can you do if you don't buy land?

If you don't buy land and do anything else, you don't do your job.

Liu E said: "Dad, there is no hurry to build a house, and there is no hurry to buy land. In my opinion, the money is best for my younger brother to send to the school, he is only thirteen years old, not very old, and the child has the most bright mind in reading.

If I said something casually just now, I could get so much silver, and when my brother became literate, he would be able to earn more money in the future. ”

Liu's mother didn't know the bottom of her heart: "It costs a lot of money to read, in case Qing'er doesn't read a name, these dozens of taels of silver are spent cleanly, isn't this a bamboo basket for water."

It's better to buy the land, and the income from the field can be used for reading every year in the future. There's no need to rush it. ”

Father Liu nodded: "Let's manage carefully, we can buy another ten acres of land in ten years, and we can buy one hundred acres of land in twenty years." When we had grandchildren, our family became landlords. What a good thing. ”

Liu E disagreed: "Dad, think about it deeply, if the younger brother is admitted to Xiucai, he will be able to open a museum in the county to accept apprentices, and the annual collection of Shuxiu silver is also thirty taels." When the museum is opened, you can continue to take the exam, in case of green smoke from our ancestral grave, the younger brother will be able to become an official in the future.

You are the father of the official master, what was Zhao Dashan at that time. When the younger brother becomes an official, Zhao Dashan will come to greet you. At that time, our family will have land, not 100 acres or 200 acres, but 10 acres and 20 acres.

These dozens of taels of silver are for nothing, and the most important thing to do is to change the court. Farmers always want to become a family of cultivators and scholars, and families of cultivators and scholars also want to become scholars. As for Zhao Dashanren, he is just a businessman in the eyes of scholars. ”

Liu's father was attracted by the bright prospects that Liu E said, and his fists were clenched with excitement, as if he saw the scene of his son wearing saffron in the future.

It seems to have seen the scene of Zhao Dashan kneeling at his feet flatteringly asking for peace.

Liu Qing, the younger brother of the Liu family on the side, was under a lot of pressure by Liu E. Even if he doesn't read, he knows that reading is very difficult. Otherwise, there are still people with gray beards and gray hair, and they can't pass the exam.

He felt that the money would be better to buy land than to give him a study.

He said coldly: "What if I don't pass the test, what if I can't even pass the Xiucai test." ”

Mother Liu nodded: "Yes, Qing'er is smart, but this smartness has nothing to do with reading, we can't think of the smartness of readers, people are so smart that they can't be admitted to Xiucai, where is Qing'er's little smart?" ”

Liu E comforted: "Qing'er, don't be pressured, if you really can't pass the exam, you can only say that our family has no life to study, this silver is for nothing, and you won't feel distressed when you study."

Even if our generation doesn't have the life to study, who can know that the next generation will not have it? If Qing'er reads, she will be able to lay a good foundation for her children. In the future, your grandson will be the first to enter school. Daddy, you will one day enjoy the blessings of your children. ”

He also said: "Qing'er is literate, even if she can't pass the Xiucai exam, she can find a job in the county shop, and maybe she can become a shopkeeper in the future." How good is the city, Qing'er, are you willing to farm for the rest of your life, or are you willing to be a shopkeeper, make a pot of tea every day and happily receive the moon? ”

Liu Qing jumped and said: "I am willing to study!" ”

Liu's father was still a little hesitant, so Liu E said: "Dad, don't worry about money, even if Qing'er spends the money on her studies and doesn't leave me a penny of dowry, I won't have the slightest complaint."

I can make this money on my own, can't I make more money? Dad, the opportunity to change the fate of our Liu family, in your words, when our descendants of the Liu family build the champion archway in the future, we will definitely write your name in the first place. ”

In the end, it was this sentence that made Liu's father agree to Liu Qing's study, and his descendants will be talented in the future, and he can also be ranked first when he repairs the family tree.

The prosperity of the Liu family will start with him.

Liu's father's blood was boiling.

As for what Liu E said about making money, he didn't take it to heart. got the money, it can only be said that Liu E is bold and lucky. It is also thanks to Zhao Dashan's generosity and generosity.

Otherwise, Liu E can name a flower, and others may not be able to take out a penny from their pockets.

Besides, how can a woman show her face at this time, is this to make others think that all the men of his Liu family are dead?

Father Liu made a decision, in the spring of this year, handed over a bundle of repairs to send Liu Qing to school, before leaving, Father Liu patted Liu Qing on the shoulder and said: "Son, the hope of our family is on you, study hard." ”

Liu Qing nodded under pressure.

Liu E was only fifteen years old this year, and her biggest daily pleasure was to make rouge, dye her nails, make gouache from purple jasmine seeds, nourish her hair with osmanthus oil, and wipe her face with facial grease made of lard.

The whole person is white and tender, delicate, and very different from the rough appearance of the girls in the neighborhood.

Female red is a necessary skill for women, and she is especially proficient, using the excuse that she can't do anything else with her hands that she learns embroidery, she never does housework.

Mother Liu and Grandma Liu are also by her.

Her embroidery has been able to sell for a price in the past two years, a small picture embroidered with peony or plum blossom peony is 800 Wen, and a large picture embroidered with landscape or landscape is one or two silver.

After deducting the money spent on gold and silver thread and embroidery cloth, the silver in hand for a large picture is at least 600 wen.

These incomes allowed her to gradually have a say in the family, although no one said it, but it was this little difference that raised her heart and made her arrogant.

Holding a jade pendant and not marrying, although part of it is the composition of three obedience and four virtues, but more Liu E feels that she is different in Zhao Jihe's heart, and it is impossible for Zhao Jihe to give up on her.

Holding the jade pendant, she became more and more addicted to the dreams she made up, and when she learned that Zhao Jihe was married and had a harmonious marriage, she would not be able to afford to fall ill.
