When he got home from school, Cheng Zi'an tried to hold his joy, looking very light.

But he is really not used to walking at night in brocade, and the pride on his body can't be suppressed, and he puffs straight out.

Cui Suniang was holding the basket, Cheng Zhen was helping to pick osmanthus flowers to make wine, Cheng Zi'an walked over with a high spirit, looking sour, but couldn't help asking: "The exam results are out?" ”

Cheng Zi'an pretended to be calm: "Hmm." ”

Cheng Zhen paused and asked, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

A smile slowly unfolded on his face, Cheng Zi'an raised his head, raised his hand, and said proudly: "Tenth!" ”

Cui Suniang said happily: "Really? ”

Cheng Zi'an: "Hmm! Guaranteed true! ”

Cheng Zhen: "......"

"There are students in their early twenties in the Mengtong class, and your grades are only in the middle of the stream, so you may be complacent when you are at the top?"

Cheng Zi'an said solemnly: "Can't!" It's so hard to drop! ”

Cheng Zhen: "......"

Cheng Zi'an asked, "Daddy, how is Sister Cao'er's family?" ”

When the rice is about to be harvested, the people in the village will prepare in advance, take the sickle and other farm tools to the city to repair, buy some grain, wine and food, and entertain the helpers.

Cheng Zhen didn't come forward in person, and used a clever plan to pass a few words to the ears of Sun Erzhuang, who likes to play right and wrong in the village and is not good.

When Mo Saburo entered the city, Sun Erzhuang seemed to have good intentions, but with the intention of watching a joke, he pulled him to the vicinity of Li Chun's shop, and deliberately asked the shopkeeper to talk to Li Chun.

The result is self-evident, Mo Saburo listened to Li Chun's details, and returned to the village with his heart down.

Yesterday, the matchmaker came again, and Mo Saburo, who was usually cowering, was not hopelessly stupid, and rejected the matchmaker, saying that he was reluctant to marry Mo Cao'er and wanted to keep her for a few years.

The matchmaker was so angry that she said a bunch of sour words and left in a rage. Not long after, the second uncle and grandmother went to find Mo Saburo and Mao, but they also scolded and left.

Cheng Zhen glared at him and said, "When did you question what you were doing?" ”

Cheng Zi'an smiled and said: "Of course I'm relieved that Daddy is doing things, but Daddy, will Sister Cao'er go to be a concubine?" ”

Cheng Zhen had no choice but to say: "Mo Sanlang has already rejected the matchmaker, now you are always relieved, right?" ”

Cheng Zi'an smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and said Daddy, and then the smile on his face quickly receded, became well-behaved and dignified, took out his purse and handed it forward.

"Daddy, this is the money I earned, take it to buy a door-to-door son-in-law for Sister Cao'er, Sister Hua'er to buy a loom, I also want a scholar, I want Mo Zhuzi, he is good, I like him."

Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang were shocked, and the two looked at each other, both seeing the disbelief on each other's faces.

Cheng Zhen, who was the first to come back to his senses, took the purse and opened it to see that there were gold bills of different sizes, which were worth about fifteen taels of silver.

Next, Cheng Zi'an used the Spring and Autumn penmanship to hide his cheating and money, and only said how he made a lot of money from Xin Jinian this time, and confessed that his exam results were obtained by chance.

After the holiday, he will start to study scripture and history, and Cheng Zhen's study is stacked with a thick stack of scripture and history books, which can almost bury him in it. Just looking at it, it's a big head.

Cheng Zi'an must not let Cheng Zhen think that he is the material for reading. Obediently took out the money, so that Cheng Zhen would come forward and help the Mo family change their fate as much as possible.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Mo Cao'er escaped this time, and next time she will still fall into the same fate as Mao.

The same is true of Mo Hua'er, their sisters have worked hard all their lives, and whether future generations can see hope depends on God's will.

Providence is such a thing, mortals like Cheng Zi'an don't think about it.

Mo Zhuzi had just studied in a private school for a year, and he didn't know all the words. He had to study for two more years, do an apprenticeship or something, to be more competitive.

Mo Cao'er and Mo Hua'er can't just bury their heads in the ground and throw food. Cheng Zi'an doesn't know the ability of their sisters, and multiple looms, or learning the craft of weaving, is also a way out.

There were people in the village who lived a comfortable life, and the women of the family were good at weaving, so they added a good loom, took silk thread raw materials from the weaving mill they were familiar with, and weaved valuable cloth, and the weaving mill took it back.

Once you come and go, you can make a lot of craft money. There are fewer looms, and the money earned does not need to pay taxes, which is much more cost-effective than farming.

Mo Zhuzi said enviously several times, but unfortunately the loom is expensive, and not every household can afford it.

If you can afford a loom, you must have craftsmanship and a familiar weaving workshop, so you can rest assured that you can first give you silk thread and take back the woven cloth.

In this way, Cheng Zhen must come forward, Cheng Zi'an has no such relationship.

Of course, Cheng Zi'an has his own little Jiujiu, Mo Zhuzi is obedient, after being a scholar, he has a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so he forces him to practice reading and study, and then teaches him arithmetic, and by the way, he helps him write his homework together.

Mo Zhuzi's reading was perfectly solved.

Cheng Zhen had a complicated feeling in his heart, pinched those gold bills, and said after a long time: "Mo Saburo has a son, how can Mo Caoer buy her husband as a son-in-law." ”

Cheng Zi'an can't tell the knowledge he should have beyond his age, otherwise he will be a ghost.

Small also has small benefits, Cheng Zi'an asked innocently: "Daddy, is there a rule that if there is a son in the family, can't a daughter recruit a son-in-law?" ”

Cheng Zhen was stunned, the world is that a daughter marries and a son marries a wife.

However, there is no rule that the family has both children and daughters, and daughters cannot find a son-in-law.

Cui Suniang frowned and said, "When the people in the village see it, they have to make irresponsible remarks, and Mo Saburo is afraid that they will disagree." ”

Cheng Zi'an tilted his head and asked: "Anyway, it's all rented land to plant, Mo Saburo has one more laborer to farm, and his daughter can still stay by his side, and it's not for nothing to eat and drink, so he will add two more houses." There is a place to build a house in the courtyard of the Mo family, and the money for repairing the house and recruiting a son-in-law is not the money he took out, but the father took it to him, why didn't he agree? ”

Cui Suniang was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but look at Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Zhen twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, Cheng Zi'an's words sounded childish and naïve, but they were actually quite insightful.

For families with daughters, it is more reassuring to recruit a son-in-law than to marry. After all, living under your nose, your own children will always love you, and you don't have to suffer from your in-laws.

If you are afraid of gossip from the people in the village, Mo Cao'er and Mo Saburo live separately, it is better than marrying out and working hard, but also arguing with the concubine and seeing the mother-in-law's face.

As for buying a loom, Mo Huaer followed Mao's and could only weave some coarse cloth, which the weaving workshop could not look down on.

A valuable loom costs dozens of taels of silver, and the little silver that Cheng Zi'an earned with his cleverness is not enough, and he also needs a scholar___

Cheng Zhen had a general plan in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to worry about the affairs of Mo Sanlang's family, now you should focus on studying." This time, you relied on luck to get the tenth place in the exam, and you still want a scholar, what a fool! ”

Cheng Zi'an's face fell, and he stepped forward to twist Cui Suniang, wanting to cry or not: "Auntie, Daddy has Qingchuan, I have nothing." With the money I earn myself, I want a scholar, I want Mo Zhuzi! ”

Cui Suniang was entangled by Cheng Zi'an, and comforted him gently: "Mo Zhuzi is Mo Saburo's eldest son, how can he be willing to sell it to you as a scholar, don't make trouble, be careful that your father beats you." ”

Cheng Zi'an peeked at Cheng Zhen, who had a black face, and shouted: "I don't buy it, I'll hire it, A-Niang, Mo Zhuzi's monthly example, and don't want a few big money, A-Niang ......."

Cheng Zhen sneered and said, "What a big breath!" Why don't you take out your monthly routine and hire a scholar? ”

Cheng Zi'an really wanted to cry, he only had two hundred dollars a month, and he spent it when he got it.

Although he doesn't care about the money, Cheng Zhen's two hundred big money will be deducted, which is really ruthless!

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Cheng Zi'an just pestered Cui Suniang and begged.

Cui Suniang was afraid that the osmanthus in the basket would spill out, and she couldn't withstand Cheng Zi'an's entanglement, so she was about to agree to him, but was stopped by Cheng Zhen's look.

Cheng Zhen unceremoniously stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Zi'an, and scolded: "Stand up!" Your aunt is not in good health, so Hugh has to annoy her. ”

Cheng Zi'an stood under the osmanthus tree with his head bowed, puffing out his face and being quite unconvinced.

Cheng Zhen looked at the head of the bag with his head tilted to the side, the crumpled clothes on his body, and couldn't help glaring: "Look at you, you are so big, and you only know how to be coquettish in front of A-Niang, and you are not ashamed." ”

Cheng Zi'an pushed back: "Daddy will say that I am still young, and will say that I am big, am I small or big?" ”

"You!" Cheng Zhen was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but in the end he restrained himself and said, "You want Mo Zhuzi to be a scholar, it's not impossible." You have to go one step further in your future exams. Also, don't make smart bets anymore, Xin Jinian is easy to deceive, Xin Zhong is not easy to get along with! ”

Cheng Zhen is actually intimidating Cheng Zi'an, and if he can bet on the question again and again, Xin Zhong can't wait to pay money to buy this rare ability.

Cheng Zi'an's brain is still bright, and Cheng Zhen hopes that he can be down-to-earth and learn real skills, rather than relying on luck to get by.

"Okay!" Cheng Zi'an smiled and responded loudly.

Later, more on that later.

Cheng Zhen is different from him, he is a true gentleman. Mo Zhuzi became his scholar, and Cheng Zian didn't believe that Cheng Zhen could be ruthlessly dismissed.

Cheng Zi'an answered too simply, and Cheng Zhen couldn't help but be suspicious.

It was not early, and dinner had already been prepared in the stove, so Cheng Zhen didn't say anything more, and ordered: "Hurry up and go wash and eat." ”

Cheng Zi'an said yes loudly, covered his waist and ran back to the house.

In his waist pocket, there was also a gold coin worth five taels of silver.

After dinner, Cheng Zhen and Cui Suniang went for a walk as usual, while Cheng Zi'an went in the direction of the village Ximo's house.
