Xie Yanzhi saw her accepting the money and said, "Mother Yuan, the expenses in the Imperial College are very high. I don't have much money now, so I can only give you these for household use. I will give them all to you after I get the dividends next month."
Li Yuan's hand, which was originally about to put the banknote into the space, silently stuffed the banknote into his hand.
"Brother Xie, you should know that I have money on hand, and I am not short of it at all. If you don't have money, just don't give it to me. Besides, didn't we agree before that if you need it, just ask me for it?"
Xie Yanzhi confiscated the twenty taels and pushed them back.
"No, this money is a reward for my husband. It has special meaning. Just keep it. I have my own way of making money in the Imperial College, but I can only make enough to spend on myself."
Xie Yanzhi was very smart. Although he had just arrived in the capital, he didn't know much about many things.
But from what Chen Wu said before, he guessed that the Imperial Academy's wine offering could come to him in person, probably because of the relationship with the General Protector's Mansion.
In addition, there should be something else.
For example, the Li family’s high-yielding sweet potatoes.
For another example, the book he wrote before reduced the casualties of the people in Xinyang Mansion.
Now the superiors have not rewarded him or the Li family, probably because they are worried about something.
He thought that the person who really allowed him to enter the Imperial Academy might be the current Holy Emperor!
In this case, there is no reason that he has to pay for pens, inks, paper, inkstones, food, drinks and chews himself.
Because of these speculations, after Xie Yanzhi reached an agreement with the Imperial Academy about the wine ceremony, he didn't have much money at all when he went there.
Anyway, he doesn't have to spend money on food, drink, chewing, so he can save whatever he can.
The reason why he spends so much now is because he bought a lot of books there.
These are things he wanted to buy in the past but couldn't.
Some are even unique copies!
Li Yuan didn't know this at all. When she heard that he had a way to make money, she was afraid that he would wrong her by going to the Imperial College, so she directly exchanged the twenty taels of silver notes for silver ingots.
"Brother Xie, you said that the bank note has special meaning, so I will accept it. This money is the money I gave you to spend. Although our family is not rich, it is not bad at all. After you go to the Imperial College, don't feel wronged. You should eat and drink when you should, and don’t skimp on them. If it weren’t for the Imperial College not being able to deliver meals, I would really like to make them at home every day and have Artai deliver them to you.”
Xie Yanzhi lowered his head and looked at the four ingots and more than five taels of silver, and then looked at Li Yuan.
Seeing the determination in her eyes, he accepted the money and said, "Okay, with this money I will find someone to buy coats for you and your two children."
Although he knew that she was an immortal and there were many heavenly clothes to keep out the cold in the immortal mansion.
But the Chinese New Year is still more than a month away. During this time, she is busy with the greenhouse at home, and there are many things that have not been purchased at home.
He wanted to buy new clothes for her and the child.
Twenty taels, go to the embroiderer, use fine cotton cloth and new cotton, each to make a thick coat, it should be enough!
When Li Yuan heard that he planned to use twenty taels to make coats for her and the child, she felt heartbroken.
There is cotton in her space, and even cloth.
She can do embroidery work herself, and there is also a small sewing machine in the space.
She wants to make clothes, doesn’t she know how to make them herself?
Twenty taels is enough for her to do many things!
After thinking about it, she said so. In the end, she said: "Brother Xie, I know you are doing it for me and the children, but making money is not easy. Let's save some money if we can. There is no need to spend unnecessary money." ."
It's not that she's picking on it, but there's really no need for it.
This year's new cotton is not cheap now. Her space is producing it every day, and there is a lot of it now. There is no need to spend that money.
She also has space if she adds the cloth, which was given to her by her aunt when she and Caijing came over before.
So, do you need to spend money to buy the things you have at home and then find someone to make them?
After hearing what she said, Xie Yanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Mother Yuan, how about we add some servants to our family? The dividends from this book in the second half of the year should be more than the previous sum total. I want to buy a cook. She can cook sometimes, and you can turn around. In addition, let's buy a girl and put it in front of Caiwei and Qingsha. As for the greenhouse, I'm thinking of buying someone who can do farm work. It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he is honest and honest. You just have to be strict with your mouth, what do you think?"
Li Yuan is currently too busy with the greenhouse business.
In addition, it was the end of the year, so she had to prepare the New Year's gifts quickly.
At least for Su Mansion in Xinyang Mansion, she had to give two copies.
One is a new year's gift, and the other is a congratulatory gift for Su Mingshan's marriage.
In addition, Lijia'ao in Lanxia City also needs to be given away.
People were gritting their teeth and squeezing out money to provide a home for her and Brother Xie, but they couldn't do anything without showing any signs of it.
But she had to think carefully about what to give.
Besides, her grandparents and the others were all over there, so she couldn't just ignore everything.
Apart from these, she had to give away both her uncle's family and Yan Jiao.
On the other side of the capital, there are the Marquis' Mansion, the Protector General's Mansion, Meng Peng's Mansion, and Ji Ming's Ji Mansion.
Now that we are cooperating with Mr. Liu’s family, the Liu family will also give it away.
There are quite a lot of people here and there. She has been doing nothing during this period. She is busy enough just buying these new year gifts.
Oh, and the Miao family where Chen Miaomiao lives.
She had always wanted to find time with Brother Xie to visit Miao's house, but it had been delayed. Until now, she has not gone.
Chen Miaomiao, on the other hand, had people send greeting notes one after another, saying that she wanted to come over, but she was busy with the greenhouse, so she declined, and she didn't know if they would think too much about it.
As for Ying Lei, she didn't know the specific situation yet. She had to ask her brother Xie to find out.
Thinking about this, Li Yuan also quite agreed with the matter of buying people.
"Brother Xie, why don't you let Aunt Ou be the housekeeper of our house? Let her take care of the purchase of people, and we can just do it at the end? In addition, after Young Master Ying returns to Beijing, you will have contact Well, it’s almost the twelfth lunar month, and I’m thinking that I should also prepare for the New Year’s gifts. Should his family prepare them? What should I prepare for his family’s New Year’s gifts? There are also the Chen family, the Meng family, and the Ji family. Where is home?"
Xie Yanzhi had a request for the housekeeper. Hearing the words, he listened to him: "Mother Yuan, I will choose the housekeeper myself. Aunt Ou only needs to teach Caiwei and Shasha well. As for Yun Jing, he is also in the Imperial College now. He once hinted that Pass me, his father has already taken sides and asked me not to have any contact with him for the time being, so as not to get dirty."
Li Yuan was also afraid that her brother Xie would be involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the rightful son, so upon hearing this, he quickly eliminated Ying Lei.
"Brother Xie, where are the other people?"
"Except for Brother Ji Ming, no one else will be given away for the time being. This is what we agreed! The reason why we will send Brother Ji Ming away is because he is the examiner of our provincial examination. If he were not my brother, he would have been in the Lu Ming held before After the banquet, he took me under his door. In fact, to the outside world, all of us can be regarded as his disciples. Therefore, after arriving in the capital, we should give New Year's gifts both emotionally and rationally. The only question is whether the gift is thin or thick. , it depends on the individual!”
