Chapter 206: Ready to go
The Jiangxi family began to buy timber and bricks on a large scale to build a yard. The piece of land next to it was bought by her before, and because it has always been used for air, it didn't cost too much silver when she bought it from Lizheng. Two or three acres of vacant land only cost less than fifteen taels of silver, which is simply not worth mentioning for the Jiang family today.
At the same time, Jiangxi's whole family is also preparing to go to the county seat. Prior to this, Jiangxi first asked people to salvage fish, shrimp and crabs, and planned to take this opportunity to bring them to people who knew each other.
The Song family naturally wants to send it, and it still has to send the most. There is also the current Hongxian Order, and the previous adult, although he is no longer in this county, if he goes to the provincial capital, he still has to pass through Xuanxian.
In addition, Jiangxi also prepared a copy, planning to bring it to the gentleman of the academy in the county.
Now that Qin Hao has passed the Xiucai examination, after the August Festival, he will start to study in the academy in the county seat, and wait for the big exam in the future. Only those who have studied in academies above the county seat can get a place to take the big exam.
Many families just stop here, because the tuition and expenses of the county academy are a lot, although only after passing the examination can you get the money issued by some countries, but it is only enough for yourself to eat and drink, not to mention other expenses.
Therefore, some children of poor families will choose to go to a big family to be a gentleman for a few years after passing the examination, and then go to the academy to study and take the examination after earning enough money.
As far as Jiang Xi knew, the Xiucai who was admitted to the exam with Qin Hao was the idea.
On the way back from buying building materials in the town, Jiangxi met the Xiucai, who was walking with his mother, and was followed by the Li matchmaker, who seemed to be going on a blind date.
Jiang Xi smiled, thinking of what Mrs. Li said before, the daughters of many merchants in the town wanted to discuss marriage after this talent was successfully examined. Come to think of it, now those merchants must have seized the opportunity one by one.
In fact, these families wanted to marry their family before, but the Li family let go early, Qin Hao was too young, and he would not say goodbye until at least a few years later.
Of course, after the words were released, it was not that no one ran over to talk to the Li family. said that the words of getting married first and not getting married were unfortunately perfunctory and fooled by the Li family.
Everyone saw that the Jiang family's road was no longer feasible, so they ran to this poor Xiucai's house. What the merchant family lacks is not money, what they want is status, and an uncle with the status of a talented person is enough to raise the status of the entire family.
When Xiu saw Jiang Xi, he was still polite, and nodded towards Jiang Xi. No matter what, he and Qin Hao can be regarded as classmates, and it is nothing to be polite when he sees his classmate's sister.
It was the talented mother, whose face changed as soon as she saw Jiang Xi, and glared at her son, as if to say that he shouldn't be so polite to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi laughed, not taking it to heart.
After she came back from buying building materials, while sitting at home drinking tea, she listened to Lianzi and her talk about things outside.
"Girl, you don't know, that Sun Xiucai's family really made a big joke today, and Mrs. Li was so angry that she swore not to tell his family about matchmaking."
"Oh? What's going on? Jiang Xi looked over with great interest, when she saw Mrs. Li in the morning, wasn't she still full of joy, could it be that Sun Xiucai's mother did something?
To be honest, Jiang Xi has never liked Sun Xiucai's mother very much, and she looks like she is not easy to get along with. It may be that the woman's family has brought her son alone, and she has become a showman, and she thinks she is amazing, looking at everyone with a high-spirited appearance, as if her son has become a champion.
Lianzi sat down with a smile and talked about what had happened in Bichun Garden in the morning.
Bichun Garden is a famous teahouse in the town, and it is also the most frequented place for blind dates from the ancient town, where the consumption is not cheap, but also attracts the likes of some merchants in the town.
"I've heard that there are six families looking at them today, and three of them are merchants in the town. Originally, one of the girls had a good talk with Sun Xiucai, but Sun Xiucai's mother suddenly became difficult, saying that after marrying into their family, she had to learn from the rules of a big family.
Moreover, he also said that the girl's family was a merchant, and he was not worthy of his son's identity, and if he married, he would need to match a lot of dowries to be called her son. ”
If the merchant wants to make such a son-in-law, he should spend more money, as for the rules, Jiangxi also knows that in this era, there are too few people who are not rules.
"It's nothing, isn't it the case with most people?"
"Girl, you have to keep listening, and then it's terrible. She also said that when a girl marries into their family, she must break with her own family, otherwise it will be difficult for outsiders to know that their family is married to a merchant family.
He also said that if the girl marries and does not give birth to a child for a year, then she must give his son a concubine, and the girl has to pay for the concubine herself. Anyway, it just said a lot of conditions, which directly scared the girl.
That girl's father is the owner of the grocery store in our town, and he is also bloody, so he immediately stood up, if it weren't for Sun Xiucai's mother's daughter, I would probably have punched him.
After they left, as soon as the people behind heard this condition, who was willing to be with his son, and the other five families left directly. Mrs. Li also made a fuss, didn't even want money, and left directly from Bichun Garden.
I heard that the mother and son are still in Bichun Garden, it seems that they haven't paid for the tea they eat, and the shopkeeper has stopped them from leaving. The woman is still scolding, saying that those merchants have no conscience, and that Mrs. Li also has no conscience, and she took them to that place and didn't help them pay for tea.
I guess they're going to be trapped until tonight, and no one will come over to ransom them. Girl, you really had a good eye at the time, but fortunately you didn't choose this family for Sister Xing'er. ”
After Lianzi finished speaking, Lianzi still had a bright smile, and Jiang Xi knew that she was taking revenge for being coldly regarded by the mother-in-law in the morning. She didn't think much else Lianzi said, but the last sentence was undeniable, fortunately, she didn't choose this family for Xing'er at the beginning.
Speaking of which, Xing'er has been married for almost ten days now, and when she returned to the door once, she could see that her husband was very good to her, and her parents-in-law treated her well.
"Lianzi, what you just said is true?" I don't know when, Qin Hao walked in, frowning.
Lianzi nodded innocently: "Of course, I won't lie." ”
Qin Hao's brows seemed to be furrowed even tighter, and Jiang Xi knew what he wanted to do when he looked at him like this. And when she went up, Sun Xiucai also showed kindness to her, and she still agreed with Qin Hao's approach.
"Brother Qin Hao, since you want to do it, go ahead, no matter how you say it, you can be regarded as your classmate. If you help him today, it can be regarded as a good fate. Besides, it is difficult for us to have a talent in town, if someone reports it because of this kind of thing, and loses the qualification for the big exam, it is also a loss for our town. ”
With Jiang Xi's words, Qin Hao's heart suddenly relaxed, he looked up at Jiang Xi, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Xi'er, it's good to have a sister like you."
Turning around, Qin Hao walked out with Jiang Qian's younger brother.
Before Lianzi could react, she asked Jiang Xi puzzledly: "Girl, were you just playing a dumb riddle?" Why can't I understand a word, what are you asking Childe to do? ”
Jiang Xi gently knocked on her head, Lianzi quickly covered her head and told Jiang Xi not to fight, she was not smart in the first place, if she was broken, she would be even more incomprehensible in the future.
"Brother Qin Hao went over to help Sun Xiucai's mother and son break the siege."
"What! Girl, you two have no problem with your brains, that mother-in-law treated you like that today, and you still have to let the son help them like that, I really don't understand, why did you do this! ”
"Alas!" Jiang Xi let out a long sigh, she was not the Holy Mother, and that mother-in-law treated her like that, and she was not happy in her heart. But the mother-in-law is old, and it is bound to be the showman who will call the shots in the future. Sun Xiucai is Qin Hao's classmate, and it is impossible to say that the two will study together in the academy in the future, which can be regarded as a response.
Besides, there are only two talents in the town, if he is reported by someone with a heart because he can't afford to pay for tea, it will ruin his life, and it will be a loss to the town. The most important thing is that Jiang Xi hopes that Qin Hao will make some friends, but it is just a few dollars of silver for tea, which is nothing.
"You don't understand it now, but you will understand it later. By the way, have you already packed up all the things I asked you to pack? ”
Hearing this, Lianzi suddenly came to the spirit again.
This time Jiangxi went to the county seat, in addition to a few of them going with him, even Huzi also had to go, and he was responsible for escorting fish and shrimp. Thinking that on the day of the August Festival, I could walk around the county with Huzi and Huzi, and Lianzi was indescribably happy.
"It's all packed, now wait for your order, girl, we can leave for the county seat at any time."
Jiang Xi bowed, "Okay, the time is set for tomorrow." You go talk to your father later, let him watch the building of the yard next door, and let someone come and report if there is anything." ”
"Hmmm! I will! Lianzi was even more happy, this time Jiangxi handed over such an important matter to her father alone, as long as it was done, then the position of the housekeeper in the family should not be able to run away.
They are a family of five, her father is about to become a housekeeper, she is the person next to the girl, her mother is the kitchen steward, and her younger brother travels with Yuan Xiu, with these relationships, her sister's future will be very good in the future.
Lianzi only felt that the future life was full of hope.
