Li Yuan also had her own persistence and replied: "Caijing, I really can't accept this, and Can Niang means the same thing. In any case, my aunt is a concubine after all. She was sent away under such circumstances. When you arrive in the capital, you are designated to have no dowry. You two have to spend money everywhere in that high-end mansion. Even if there is no shortage, there is no reason to have too much money? You should keep it for yourself. They say that money can be used for everything. No matter how hard it is, life will not be difficult as long as you have plenty of money!"
Li Yuan has never been to the capital. Even though Su Mingshan said that Han Xiuya was doing well in the Hou Mansion, she still felt that everything should not be judged by appearances.
Perhaps what her aunt showed off was to give people the impression that she was living a good life, but she was actually miserable on the inside.
Previously, she could get Su Mingshan to send 600 taels, which was probably her limit.
For Zhou Caijing, who didn't know the inside story, there was no reason to take back the money she gave out.
When she heard Li Yuan's words, she smiled and said: "Sister, if you are worried that I will not have enough money after taking out these, then you can rest assured. My mother has been in poor health all year round, and all the general affairs in the house are... My aunt is taking care of it. She is very smart in business, so although the Houfu has declined in official career in recent years, it has more and more money. "
"If my aunt and mother hadn't both felt that my father was not worthy of his responsibilities, they would have used money to smooth things over a long time ago. It wouldn't be a joke. But my father doesn't know about this matter. There has always been some tension in the accounts of the house. If he wanted to know, he would definitely It will be a waste of money. It will be fine in another year. After my eldest brother's spring comes next year, the house will get better and better."
"As for me, I have been learning from my aunt since I was eight years old. After I was ten years old, I started to manage my first Zhuangzi. Over the past eight years, I have made money with Zhuangzi, and I have made money with money. In fact, I have secretly I have saved a lot. What I am giving you today is my own private room, so you can use it with confidence and boldness."
Li Yuan didn't know anything about the Hou Mansion, so she still shook her head after hearing Zhou Caijing's relaxed words.
"Your money belongs to you. You are not married yet, so there is no reason to give us such a generous gift. You should take this money back!"
When Li Yuan said this, she put the purse containing six hundred taels of silver notes in her hand.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Caijing weighed the money bag extremely willfully, and then tilted her head to look at Li Yuan.
"Sister, since you don't want this money, then throw it away!"
When she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Li Yuan's answer, she threw her purse on the ground, turned around, and walked towards Xie's house without looking back.
Her voice can still be heard in the distance: "I'm still very tired today, so I'll go back and rest first!"
Helpless, Li Yuan had no choice but to bend down and pick up her purse, sighed quietly, and walked back.
When she arrived home, the sound of discussions between Xie Yanzhi, Li Jun and others came from the study, and Wang Can was talking to Zhou Caijing, who said he was coming back to rest.
Seeing her, Zhou Caijing quickly retreated into the room, while Wang Can walked towards Li Yuan.
"Sister, how are you?"
Li Yuan held the money bag in her hand and handed it to Wang Can.
"She didn't want it. She said she was in a hurry and threw the money bag on the ground, and then came back."
This is a full six hundred taels, not six cents. I throw it away just because I am sure she will pick it up!
Wang Can looked at the money bag and was silent for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Then, shall we divide it?"
"This is the only way! Can Niang, before she goes back in a few days, let's think about what to give her."
As she spoke, she said in a breathy voice: "When the time comes, prepare some spiritual spring water and see how diluted it is. In addition, my aunt also needs spiritual spring water. She is not in good health now and is recuperating in the capital."
"Okay! In addition to spiritual spring water, sister, why don't you take a look at what rare things you have in your space and get them out, and then give them to your cousin?"
"I feel like she lacks everything, and the things she can get are all average. I'll look at it later!"
If that didn't work, she would cut out the glass mirror in the bathroom, and then find someone to make two makeup mirrors that could reflect the upper body.
One side was given to Wang Can, and the other side was given to Zhou Caijing.
I just don’t know how long it will take for the glass mirror to be refreshed!
When the time comes, if Zhou Caijing asks where the mirror comes from, she will probably use her brother Xie to make excuses again.

Because tomorrow is the second round of listings, Xie Yanzhi did not put any pressure on Li Jun and Li Zheng. He just asked them what they wrote in the first round and said, "I told you carefully about the Four Books and Five Classics before, and there are no surprises." , you should all be on the list for this round. And the first round is actually considered to be an introductory knowledge test, with the largest number of admissions. As long as the handwriting is neat and the answers are not too outrageous, you can pass. Junzi is ranked so low, and you are The word " also has a certain relationship."
Li Jun also knew that he had not read for so many years, let alone written.
The handwriting of scholars is achieved through years of practice.
To be honest, he was greatly relieved that he could pass the first game.
As for the second scene, everyone valued it and found it a bit difficult. The long explanation of the Four Books and Five Classics was much easier for him.
In addition to the explanations that Xie Yanzhi has given them over the past few months, there are also those books on explanations.
Therefore, he was more relaxed than ever in this test.
When he heard Xie Yanzhi say that, as expected, he would be on the list, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Xie Yanzhi saw the reactions of Li Zheng and Li Jun in his eyes, and continued: "As far as I know, due to the snow disaster last year, there were not many reference people from other counties except our Liuyun County for this scientific expedition. Therefore, in In terms of grading, the academic officials and the teachers in each county school will be relatively relaxed. The reason why I tell you this is that I don’t want to put too much burden on you, but you should not relax because of it. As long as you can pass the county examination, I will I am sure that you will all be admitted as scholars."
Li Jun thought of what Master Bai said before and asked Xie Yanzhi: "Brother-in-law, Brother Yu Yuan said before that our county can admit 66 people this year?"
"Well, today I came back and went to the Yamen. Because Mr. Xu was busy, I went to see Mr. Bai. He said that the county school teachers who were selected to score in our county this year are from Linfeng County."
"Although Mr. Song in Linfeng County is not that good, the county school is well run and is quite famous in our Xinyang Mansion. Correspondingly, the teaching staff will be stricter. If this county examination were held in previous years, I can't guarantee it. , you will definitely be able to pass. But now the situation is special, and there are more places, so I can’t help but sigh, your luck is really good!"
Li Jun couldn't help but laugh and joked: "You must have good luck. After all, the good-luck noodle stall in the county belongs to our family. We eat it every day, can we not get more good luck?"
