"Official, the slave family knows that it is wrong."

As soon as Chen Mo sent Wang Pozi back to the house, Qin Xianglian knelt on the ground with a thud.

The house leak happened to rain overnight!

Not to mention that the money was not borrowed, he had to compensate the other party for the carriage and horse expenses of five taels of silver, and he had to make it up before the county exam, otherwise he could only take the house to pay.

Five taels of silver is almost half a year's cost for ordinary people.

Qin Xianglian blamed herself incomparably, and with a single thought, this family was crumbling.

But she really couldn't think of any way to solve the urgent need to rush for the exam if she didn't sell herself to borrow money.

"What are you doing, get up."

Chen Mo stepped forward to help, and saw Qin Xianglian's crying pear blossoms with rain, so he had to persuade patiently.

"I'm not angry that you borrowed money, but usury and deeds of sale, how can that kind of thing be signed casually, don't you know who they are?"

"The slave family, the slave family just wants to help the officials share their worries."

Qin Xianglian raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes.

"After the county examination, the officials will go to the state academy to continue to prepare for the state examination, and then there will be the provincial examination and the palace examination, and it will take three years to take all the exams."

"The left and right sides have to be separated for a long time, so the slave family privately found Wang Po, planning to lend the silver taels and sell herself to work to repay it, and then reunite with the officials after the three-year period."

Confused!

Chen Mo scolded in his heart, damn Chen Shimei, how much ecstasy soup did she pour into Qin Xianglian?

"It's already happened, it's useless to blame yourself, can you get up and talk first?"

"Officials, it's useless to be a slave, if you have any anger, just spread it all."

The harder Chen Mo supported, the harder Qin Xianglian fell, and the two were at a stalemate for a while.

"If you don't get up yet, you won't be able to study again as a husband."

There is nothing to be done, Chen Mo can only sacrifice the killer weapon.

I have to say that this trick really works.

Qin Xianglian wiped away her tears and hurriedly stood up.

"Official, the slave family will listen to you in everything in the future, and I don't dare to do anything ridiculous, I just ask the officials not to give up their studies anymore."

"Listen to everything?"

Chen Mo's heart softened, and the words of blame came to his mouth and swallowed back.

"As long as the official speaks, the slave family listens." Qin Xianglian hurriedly nodded and reassured.

"Okay, then go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Chen Mo wanted to take the opportunity to have a showdown and completely cut off the road to fame, but seeing Qin Xianglian's obsession and dedication to this matter, he was worried that she would not be able to bear it.

So I can only overwhelm my heart for the time being, and then find an opportunity to explain it later.

"Aren't the officials with the slaves?"

Qin Xianglian blurted out, a little back to her senses, and her pretty face was flushed.

At this time, her tears were not dry, and she was full of shame.

Like a bud waiting to bloom after the rain, Chen Mo couldn't take his eyes off it.

After a moment of battle between heaven and man in his heart, Chen Mo turned around and walked towards the bookcase.

"You go to sleep first, I have a few questions, I have to think about it."

"The slave family goes to bed first and helps the officials warm the bedding."

After Qin Xianglian finished speaking, she opened the curtain and entered the back room, and there was a slight sound of rustling, obviously making the bed and undressing.

Iniquity......

Chen Mo's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he wanted to rush into the back room regardless of it, grabbing Qin Xianglian wantonly, and directly breaking her perfect body.

Thinking of the situation in front of him, he could only force the evil fire to sit in front of the bookcase and sort out the complicated and chaotic thoughts.

This is not the Song Dynasty, but the Great Chu Dynasty, which has never appeared in history.

However, whether it is the territory or the various systems, they are very similar to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even today's saints, like Song Renzong, rule the world with the word benevolence, and are quite admired and loved by the people.

The present dynasty is not a rich Song dynasty, and the previous dynasty naturally did not have a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

This is a good thing for Chen Mo, since the historical trajectory is different, there is no need to worry about rushing for the exam.

But coincidentally, the deputy minister of this dynasty is also named Bao Zheng, and he is also a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.

Because of his iron-faced selflessness and the courage to reclaim grievances for the people, he was honored by the people as Bao Qingtian.

"God, do you have to play to death before you are willing?"

While Chen Mo complained, he also became more and more determined not to rush for the exam.

As for how to appease Qin Xianglian, he also roughly thought about it.

Now that the floating ticket has been destroyed, eighty percent of them will not be able to participate in the county exam.

Taking a step back, even if there are three elders of the town and the academy to intercede, the county government can be accommodating, and Chen Mo can also do something during the examination process.

In a word, I took the test, but I didn't get in!

At that time, she could withdraw calmly, and Qin Xianglian couldn't say anything.

Moreover, the exam is five days later, so you can put it aside for the time being, but the five taels of silver carriage and horse expenses that you promised to pay must be collected as soon as possible.

Mrs. Wang's dog skin plaster must not stick to her body.

Chen Mo roughly estimated that the purchasing power of one or two taels of silver today is equivalent to a thousand yuan in the previous life.

The amount of 5,000 yuan is not large, but the problem is that time is limited, and it is really not easy to solve it within five days without doing illegal activities.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo finally figured out a way.

Logging, charcoal-burning!

First, half of late autumn is over, and the beginning of winter is imminent, which is a good time to sell charcoal.

Second, with the current situation at home, the only thing that can be quickly realized is the three acres of peach orchards in the back mountain.

The most important thing is that the peach orchard is private property and can be completely autonomous.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Chen Shimei's grandfather.

In response to the call of the government, he diligently opened up the wasteland and tuntian, so that he could enter the good register under the policy of arranging households and gathering the people.

As for slaves and lowly statuses, not to mention owning private property, personal freedom is a luxury.

Chen Mo is a man of action, and he is afraid that he will not be able to control it after entering the house, so he simply does what he says, picks up tools and oil lamps and goes to the field to cut wood and dig kilns.

According to his original intention, it is to use modern dry distillation technology to burn charcoal, not to mention that it only takes one day, and the quality of the charcoal burned is also excellent.

However, the family is too poor to make such a large iron furnace, so they can only adopt the earthen kiln method, and it will take three days to sell it at the earliest.

Slow is a little slower, but it's always a way.

In this way, when the rooster reported the dawn, Chen Mo not only dug the earthen kiln, but also cut down most of the peach trees.

The whole person was tired and half dead, and the mud and miscellaneous materials mixed with sweat covered the whole body, and there was no longer any Sven who read the book.

But on his face, there was a smile of relief and satisfaction.

It doesn't seem like a bad day.

Sleepy and tired, Chen Mo lay on the ground on his back, his heavy eyelids closed and he vaguely saw Qin Xianglian rushing over.

The slender waist twisted, and the twin peaks were about to come out, like a goddess riding the wind into a dream.

It was the words that were shouted out that made Chen Mo cry and laugh.

"Official, why did you dig your own grave and die in the world?"

"In the future, how can the slave family live......"
