Wang Can really didn't think about this. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then I won't buy it!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Jun again: "Brother Jun, if my brother-in-law passes the imperial examination and goes to Beijing to take the exam, my sister and two children will definitely go there. If my brother-in-law is talented, he will definitely be able to win the Jinshi. By then, if If you stay in Beijing and become an official, shall we go with them?"
Li Jun frowned, and Wang Can continued: "Brother Jun, my sister-in-law is the only one beside me. She is married and has two children. Although my brother-in-law will not treat her poorly or let her be wronged, the capital city What about the other people inside? What should she do if she suffers a loss and is wronged by outsiders and can't tell her brother-in-law? When the time comes, we can be by her side to look after her, and even if we can't help, we can enlighten her. two."
Wang Can wanted to be with Li Yuan, even if they were not in the same house, as long as they lived nearby.
She always felt that she and Li Yuan were both God's daughters and should be together to take care of each other.
If Li Yuan was not here, it would be okay for one or two days, but as time passed, she always felt that something was wrong.
Wang Maocai didn't want to get involved in the young couple's issue, so he kept silent.
After Li Jun thought about it for a while, he said: "I have never been to the capital, so I don't know what it is like there. Brother Xie, no, it's my brother-in-law. If I go to Beijing to take the exam, my sister and the two children may not follow me right away." Yes. But this will all happen after the second half of next year. Who knows what the situation will be like by then. There is no point in talking about it now. Let’s discuss it later when my sister and the others come back and that day comes.”
When Li Jun said this, he looked at Wang Can with a serious look on his face: "Cancan, my goal is to pass the exam as a scholar. As long as I am a scholar, I won't continue to go up. And when will this scholar be able to take the exam? I don’t even know. After all, there was too long of a gap between them. My memory now is not as good as when I was a child.”
"My brother-in-law is different from me. He has a good memory and has lofty ambitions. The money he earns now is from writing scripts, painting and helping to write his autobiography. But as long as he succeeds, he should be successful. Won’t do this again.”
"You know what's going on in our family. There's nothing we can do to help my sister now, and she doesn't need our help at the moment. But in the future, if I become an official's wife, it will be inconvenient for me to do many things. Just like doing business. I'll make up for it here when I think of it, so that they don't have to worry about money."
"I heard that if you get into the top three and work as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, if you want to be promoted quickly, you have to spend money to manage the people above you. If you are an ordinary Jinshi and want to find a good place outside, you also have to spend money to find connections and manage them. . I estimate that most of what our brother-in-law has earned over the years has been used as bride price for my sister. This means that when they go to the capital, apart from buying a house, they will not have any money with them. Even if they have, they will not last long. "
Wang Can had experienced running away from home in his previous life, so he didn't care so much about his identity.
Outsiders say that merchants are inferior to others, but in her opinion, merchants are quite good. Not only do they live a comfortable life, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing every day because of lack of money.
She wanted to be with Li Yuan, even if it was in the form of a merchant, she didn't care.
Furthermore, if her brother Junzi is famous and puts the business in her name, it will be said to be her dowry and no one will be able to control it.
Therefore, after hearing what Li Jun said, she nodded repeatedly and said: "It is enough to have the reputation of being a scholar. No matter when you pass the exam, it will be no problem. Also, I agree with what you said about doing business. They all say that people depend on you." Wear clothes and sit on the saddle, respect the robe first, and then respect the person. As the wife of an official, my sister must be well dressed when going out, otherwise she will be looked down upon easily. Therefore, we should make more money. With money, my sister and brother-in-law We have no worries, we can live a good life, and we can also give some support to the people in the old house."
When Li Jun heard what Wang Can said, he felt that he had really burned incense in his previous life to be able to marry such a wife.
He glanced at Wang Maocai and said: "Uncle, Cancan and I are both young and have never been taught by our elders. We will need your guidance in the future. If there is anything wrong, just raise it. There is still business. Neither Cancan nor I are as experienced as you, uncle, in this area, so you may have to work harder at that time."
When Wang Can suddenly heard this, he immediately understood what Li Jun meant and turned to look at Wang Maocai.
"Uncle, Brother Junzi is right. No matter where we are, we may have to work hard for you to follow us. Without your guidance, we might be tricked later."
Wang Maocai had been walking around the streets for so many years. Apart from being jumped on by immortals, he also had quite a lot of experience.
At least it was much better than the ordinary people who only knew how to work hard and carry goods. I was very moved when I heard this.
He knew that these two people wanted to support him in his old age, but they were afraid that he would be uncomfortable, so they kept him high.
At this time, he couldn't say anything, he just nodded with an moved expression.
In Xinyang Mansion, Li Yuan still doesn't know what Wang Can and Li Jun think.
She has been in the kitchen every day these days, busy making all kinds of food.
Among them, fried peanuts and soybeans are the most popular for Xie Yanzhi, followed by dried sweet potatoes.
It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. She got up early in the morning and heated up steamed buns and porridge. After eating with Xie Yanzhi, she took Xiao Qingsha to the Su Mansion.
Xie Yanzhi bought a carriage, and the servant originally wanted to buy an old man who could drive the carriage and serve as a gatekeeper.
But when I was buying someone, the old man I was interested in had an eight or nine-year-old grandson with him, so I had to buy both grandson and grandson together.
The old man has the same surname as Li Yuan, Li Dachang, and his grandson is called Li Tai.
The grandfather and grandson were from Linfeng County. Due to the snowstorm, the family collapsed, killing the old woman, several sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren.
It is said that there were originally eleven people in the family, and they had fields and cattle. They lived a comfortable life and saved a few taels of silver every year to send their grandson to school.
But there was a snowstorm and everything was gone.
Five of the eleven people were originally rescued, but they were seriously injured and needed medical treatment.
The family had no choice but to sell their land and cattle and hire a doctor.
However, many people were affected by the disaster, and the price of land was extremely low. Even with oxen and carts, the price is only half of the usual price.
In order to save people, Li Dachang dragged himself and gritted his teeth and sold all these.
Unfortunately, the land and cattle were gone, the money was also used up, and the only people who survived were him and his little grandson.
The situation of his relatives is similar to his. They want to borrow money but have nowhere to go.
In order to bury people, he had no choice but to sell himself with his grandson and use the money from selling himself to bury his family.
Xie Yanzhi thought that Li Tai had good spirituality. Even if his family suffered a big change, he never became devastated. There was even a tenacity in his eyes that was different from his age.
Therefore, after he bought the person, he placed his grandfather and grandson living near the door of the courtyard.
Afraid that they would feel uncomfortable, we bought a pot and asked them to build a stove. We also gave them some rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, and asked them to start the fire alone.
