Chapter 11: Betting
Two taels of silver is not a small amount, Xu Jiaorong does several jobs at the same time, and she can't earn so much money in a month. Just by letting a seat you can earn two taels of silver, in fact, it is not a loss.
Xu Mu'e also had such thoughts, but when she saw Xu Xian's smile on her face, she looked down on her heart.
Originally, she saw that Xu Xian heard about the identities of several of them, and she didn't retreat at all, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, but she still had some admiration. After all, there are not many people in this world who are not afraid of power, and most of them have the heroic righteousness that a scholar should have in their hearts.
Now it seems that this person has achieved mightiness and unyielding, but he can't be rich and unlewd...... The money went inside.
Xu Mu'e has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she has what she wants, so in her opinion, scholars should be tall and tall, and they will never bend their waists for five buckets of rice.
"Looks like Miss is very rich. Xu Xian asked, looking at the silver on the table.
Xu Mu'e was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Give up your seat!"
Xu Xian nodded and said, "It's okay to give up your seat." If the lady is willing to pay, she should give up a seat. But ......" Xu Xian paused, changed his words, and said, "However, is it a little less than two taels of silver?"
"Too little?" Xu Mu'e's eyes widened and she asked, "How much do you want?"
"There are three of us, and if you give ten taels to each of us, I will give you the seat. How?" said Xu Xian.
"Thirty taels?" Xu Mu'e laughed angrily, "Why don't you say three hundred taels!
With that, she took away the silver from the stone table.
Her father is a scholar in Hangzhou, and he is not bad for money, but he is not so much that he can make her extravagant. All the pocket money she has on her now adds up, and it is only about ten taels.
Xu Xian was also a little surprised.
Unwilling to do so?
Aren't the second generation of officials in my impression all generous, and they must do one thing if they decide it, and treat money like dung?
Originally, Xu Xian thought that if these two people were willing to be wronged and sell seats at a high price, it didn't matter if he gave up his seats. Now that they won't, it's nothing.
Xu Mu'e looked at Xu Xian angrily, suddenly his eyes turned, and he had an idea, there were five stone benches next to the stone table, and after Xu Xian and the three of them took up three, there were still two left, so he hurriedly pulled Lin Fei to sit on a stool.
Just now, he only cared about driving Xu Xian and the three of them away, but ignored the remaining stools.
After sitting down, Xu Mu'e felt very happy, looked at Xu Xian triumphantly, and showed off: "How about it, these two stools don't have to give you money, right?"
Xu Xian smiled and said lightly: "No." ”
The rain had no intention of stopping for a while, it was noon at this time, and after Xu Mu'e and Lin Fei sat down, they also took out food to replenish their strength.
As for Qin Ming and Li Chong, they stared at Xu Xian viciously a few times, wiped off the stool on the edge of the long pavilion, and sat down.
Both of them were disgraced by Xu Xian, and they held a grudge, if they had refused to give up in normal times. But today there are Lin Fei and Xu Mu'e here, they are just accompanied, these two people are not mad, they naturally don't dare, they can only hold their breath.
"Brother Xu, have some wine?" Unlike Xu Mu'e, who was in a bad mood, Lin Fei didn't seem to be angry because of what happened just now, and after sitting down, he took the initiative to ask Xu Xian if he was drinking.
Xu Xian shook his head and refused.
Xu Xian didn't want to deal with it, but Lin Fei seemed to be very interested, and after a while, he found something to ask: "I heard Li Chong say just now, Brother Xu is going to Hangzhou Mansion to participate in the government exam?"
Lin Fei is a person with a relatively out-of-the-box personality, he doesn't like to be too old-fashioned, and as the son of a fellow acquaintance, he usually doesn't develop a temperament. What Xu Xian did just now made him feel very interesting, so he had the intention of making friends.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Xu Xian did not pretend not to answer, and nodded yes.
Xu Mu'e pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "If you want to participate in the government exam like this, I think it's in vain." It's better to give up and stop studying as soon as possible, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the Tongsheng exam for the rest of my life!"
When Li Chong next to him heard this, he immediately echoed and sneered: "Miss Xu, you are really right, Xu Xian is afraid that he will not be able to pass the Tongsheng examination in his life! I used to study at Wansong Academy in Qiantang County, and I was a classmate of Xu Xian, and even the teacher said that he could not carve rotten wood many times, and he was a straw bag! This time he was able to pass the county examination, most of which was due to shit luck!"
Xu Mu'e nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, right? I'll just say that a copper-smelling person who only has money in his eyes will definitely not have the slightest talent, and it is strange that he can get famous!"
The two sang and harmonized, full of gunpowder.
Lin Fei, who originally thought Xu Xian was very interesting, also frowned at this time, thinking to himself that this person was not interesting, but really stupid?
If it were ordinary people who were ridiculed like this, I am afraid that they would have been ashamed long ago.
He Liang and Li Gongfu were a little angry when they heard this, their faces turned red, if it weren't for the fact that the identities of several people were not simple, they would have wanted to beat people.
Xu Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "What if I can pass this government exam?"
"Impossible!" Li Chong blurted out, he knew Xu Xian's level very well, but when he saw Xu Xian's confident eyes, he was full of confidence and suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.
Could it be that this kid has suddenly opened up in the past year?
So after he snorted for a while, he changed his words: "Even if you are lucky enough to pass the government exam, you will not be able to pass the Xiucai exam for the rest of your life!"
Xu Xian continued: "What do you say if I take the entrance examination in the autumn of this year and am admitted to Xiucai?"
At this time, Li Chong was full of confidence, and sneered: "If you can be admitted to Xiucai this year, I will do whatever you want me to do! Even if you cut off your head and give it to you as a night pot!"
Xu Xian said: "There is no need for the night pot, I think the diaphragm should be used." If I can pass the college exam this year, you only need to shout 'I'm a straw bag' in public three times on the day the list is released. ”
Li Chong sneered: "Okay! If you don't pass the exam by then, then you will have to shout three times in public, 'I am a straw bag'!"
Xu Xian nodded and agreed.
Since some people say that he is a straw bag, let him understand who is the real straw bag when the time comes.
Xu Mu'e snorted coldly, although she didn't know Xu Xian before, she also disdained to say at this time: "Do you still want to pass the county exam, the government exam, and the hospital exam at one time?" Who do you think you are?"
It is not easy to be admitted to Xiucai, and it is common for many people to be admitted to the age of 30. It is even more difficult to be admitted to Xiucai if you want to pass the government examination within a year.
This kind of genius, let alone lifting people in the future, even if he is admitted to the Jinshi, there is a lot of hope.
Li Chong is already a little talented, and he was a leader in Wansong Academy, but he also failed to pass the government examination and the college examination at one time. This year is the second year, and he is only seventy or eighty percent sure that he will be able to be admitted to Xiucai.
If Xu Xian had such talent, he would not be so nameless, he would have been famous in Qiantang County for a long time, and he would have been famous in the entire Hangzhou Prefecture.
Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Xian to be admitted to Xiucai this year.
