The cost of reading is money, that's nature.

But readers, how can you pay attention to these copper smells every day?

"Mother, I will earn it back in the future, believe me, I promise!"

Earn it back?

With his son's study and stupidity, can he earn it back?

Mrs. Yu smiled bitterly: "Ah, I'm stupid to read!" If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, all the output of our family is only a thousand taels of silver, but the annual expenditure is nearly a thousand taels. This time, when the results come out to find a good position, there is no money. ”

Finding a good position in Beijing is what everyone who reads wants.

However, Yu Xuyan was not convinced: "In the situation of the Chu family, how much silver can you come up with?"

"Alas!" Mrs. Yu sighed: "The Lan family brought more than 20,000 taels of grafting into the Chu family, and Chu Xiangwan has her own mother's dowry, plus the eldest princess, the palace concubine, and the Xu family, no matter how poor the Chu family is, her dowry is not less than 10,000 taels!" ”

Xu Xuyan was suddenly surprised: "There are so many?"

Mrs. Yu nodded: "This is a small head, last year Sister Wan took over her mother's two shops, and the gouache business of those two shops can be said to be a boom." It's impossible not to earn a few thousand taels a year! I also heard that all the fruit wine she made was sold into the palace, one jar of twenty taels, and hundreds of jars! ”

In my mother's heart, it is full of these mundane things!

Yu Xuyan didn't believe it at all when he heard it: "Mother, this is just heard, and it can't be trusted without evidence!" ”

Whether the son believes it or not, Mrs. Yu doesn't say it, because it's impossible!

Mrs. Yu glanced at her son and said earnestly: "Yan'er, I have been studying and don't know the world, but my mother has to tell me: I don't look down on silver, and a penny is difficult to beat a hero!" In the world, it's hard to move an inch without money. Niang is worried that if there is no silver activity this time, even if she stays in Beijing, it will be difficult to get a good position. ”

Yu Xuyan disagreed: "Whether the position is good or not, it has to be done by people." If you don't believe me, I can't help it, don't worry, one day I will make you comfortable. ”

"That's good."

Chu Xu was closing the account, and the account book sent by the Sang family, Sang Qu asked him to close the account every time.

This time, they really made a lot of money.

When I was happy, I saw Xuyan coming.

"Why is Brother Zhen here?"

Yu Xuyan smiled bitterly: "Brother Chu, what are you busy with?" Seeing that the list is about to be released, aren't you worried?"

Chu Xu had more contact with his cousin, but he saw a lot: "What are you worried about?" Are you worried about falling off the list?"

"No, I'm worried about getting admitted, how to get a good position."

Chu Xu sighed deeply: "Brother Zhen, what are your plans?"

"Me? I don't want to leave Beijing, I want to find a place in Beijing. But my mother is always chattering, if you don't have money, it's hard to find a good position. ”

Hearing this, Chu Xu thought deeply: "It's still my aunt who understands, it's true." Good seat, who wouldn't want to go? If you want to go, you have to do something, and no one is an exception. ”

Yu Xuyan looked at Chu Xu: "Then how are you prepared?"

"What else? Follow the world, follow the flow! This time, I don't think the test is too ideal, I don't expect the top three, and I will be satisfied if I can enter the second class. But this year's Jinshi is enough to take 177 people, and there are many people who want to stay in Beijing, so what can you do if you don't do it?"

In fact, Yu Xuyan also knew the reality, but he asked unwillingly: "How much silver do you prepare?"

"Instead of telling lies, our classmates for more than ten years, I prepared 10,000 taels this time."
