Gu Changle knew that Su Yu's family was poor, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.
The money they got from receiving the marriage certificate was only one hundred yuan.
This little money will probably bottom out soon.
Her husband is a very kind person and thinks of her in everything.
Now that he has met him, Gu Changle thinks that there is no need for such a person to live such a hard life.
And I have to go back to Fucheng next month to take the college exam.
Although she said she wanted to see what the man's character was like, she couldn't tell him her family affairs for the time being.
But now that we are married, we are a family.
As a lady, she has money, so it doesn't matter if she spends it together.
As long as it is controlled within a certain range and does not arouse Su Yu's suspicion, it will be fine.
So, Gu Changle rummaged through the baggage he carried with him.
Soon he found a piece of silver wrapped alone in a purse.
This was packed by her maid before she went out.
Ten taels of silver may be just a casual reward for her.
But in ordinary families, it is already a large amount.
Sure enough, when Su Yu saw her piece of silver, he was stunned for a moment.
There was a lot of surprise in his eyes.
"This is......"
"Your personal money?"
Old Man Gu had said that he did not want Su Yu's betrothal gift. Similarly, his family did not prepare a dowry.
So what Gu Changle took out was all her private money.
But how could an unmarried young girl in ancient times have so much private money?
Su Yu asked in surprise: "Ten taels of silver?"
"Your family doesn't look rich, how come you have so much private money?"
Gu Changle smiled lightly and said: "Although I am a woman, I can also read and write."
"It's very convenient to take over some work of copying books or writing Spring Festival couplets in the city."
"So over the years, I have saved a lot of private money."
"Now that the two of us have received the marriage certificate, we are husband and wife."
"Since we are husband and wife, it doesn't matter if I use my money first."
I see......
Gu Changle can read and write, and Old Man Gu also told him about this.
She just didn't know that she had made so much private money by relying on this.
So no matter where you go, knowledge is wealth.
"and......"
Gu Changle added: "After returning home, you can also help me pick up some book copying jobs in or around the town."
"Then the family will also have stable income."
"It usually only takes two or three days to copy a book, and you can get at least fifty or sixty cents."
Earning fifty or sixty cents in two or three days was really not much for Gu Changle.
But she has been inquired about.
Unless she has excellent embroidery skills, the income that an ordinary woman can earn is extremely high.
Gu Changle said, suddenly a little proud in his words.
Although these ten taels of silver were not earned by her.
But according to the price of the copied books that she found out from someone, she could actually make this money in just one or two months.
Ordinary women from farm families don’t have the earning power she does.
Su Yu also nodded in approval and said, "You can indeed make a lot of money this way."
But in the village, they don’t have much money for the time being.
The little money Su Yu had was enough for the time being.
He will continue to make money later.
If you are tired of waiting, just ask Gu Changle for it.
"But since it's your private money, you'd better keep it first."
"I just wanted to say that in addition to this hundred coins, I actually have five taels of silver on me."
Su Yu took out the broken piece of silver.
"This is the polishing fee I got from writing a poem for my classmate yesterday."
"There is another classmate who passed the government examination and also ordered a thank-you poem from me."
"When I go back and write to him, I can get a similar amount of writing fees."
"So you can keep your private money for the time being. We are not short of money to spend."
When they left yesterday, Su Yu said that he wanted to see if he could exchange Xie En's poems for some money.
Was he really replaced?
And not only did I get it, someone also pre-ordered one.
Gu Changle was a little surprised.
"Is your poetry so good?"
It can really be sold for money!
He earned five taels of silver in one day!
It takes two or three days to copy books to earn fifty cents.
Gu Changle just felt that his ability to make money compared to ordinary women suddenly dissipated.
Su Yu also said proudly: "It's not bad."
"But now I am thanking you for my poems after the college examination, and I can only make a small amount of money."
"If you want to make a lot of money from this, you have to pass the provincial examination or even the palace examination."
The title of scholar is only the lowest level of the imperial examination.
The standard of this banquet is still too low.
If you can sell a thank-you poem in those places, such as the deer-crowing banquet attended by the candidates after the rural examination, or the grace banquet after the palace examination, you can receive any amount of polishing fee.
His Majesty's article is important at that time.
Therefore, scholars basically study articles, and not many can write poems.
There are very few who do it well.
So it's not too unusual for Su Yu to be able to sell some poems to Tong Sheng.
But when it comes to the provincial examination, I will take the test.
There are many talented people in the world, and these people are very different from what Su Yu is coming into contact with now.
Therefore, it would be difficult for Su Yu's poems and essays to be published on the deer-crowing banquet or a higher-level banquet that Su Yu mentioned.
However, he gave his thank-you poem to others, and even ordered one.
After trying it in that hospital, does he still have it?
Grandpa already said yesterday that he would say hello.
Let Su Yu pass both the government examination and the college examination.
He will definitely attend the banquet held by the prefect at that time.
Gu Changle said: "Since we already have five taels of silver, why don't you keep the following poem for yourself?"
"If you pass the college examination, you will inevitably have to attend the banquet."
You can't just watch other people use his poems one by one, and end up losing it yourself, right?
Su Yu said nonchalantly: "If I want to use it, it will be next year."
"And I have a lot of these poems in stock, and I won't be able to use them all."
Gu Changle felt that her husband seemed different from what he knew?
Although he failed many times, he did not show any signs of depression, but he still worked hard to make money.
And he really earned it.
He didn't care at all that these ordinary Confucian scholars spent a lot of time revising and whitewashing their poems.
He also said that he had more stock than he could use up.
Could it be that he has been obsessed with poetry for so many years, which is why he has repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations?
This seems to make sense...
From this point of view, it was foresight for my family to ask him to pass the college examination and become a scholar.
Otherwise, if you take the exam again next year, you probably won’t be able to pass it.
He definitely couldn't tell Su Yu directly about what he had passed in this government examination.
Knowing that Su Yu still had some in stock, Gu Changle stopped worrying about this topic.
"so."
Su Yu added: "Our family is a little poorer now."
"But it will get better soon."
"Keep your private money first."
"You can also take these five taels of silver first."
Su Yu also handed over the five taels of silver in his hand and put it into Gu Changle's hand.
Gu Changle originally thought.
I have already spent all my money, and it’s not a small amount.
Su Yu would definitely be happy to have ready-made silver flowers.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even think about touching her money, and even gave her the money he earned for safekeeping.
I didn't give away ten taels of silver, but I got five more taels back.
Looking at the large and small pieces of silver in his hand, Gu Changle suddenly felt that he had some sense of responsibility as a woman.
She didn't say anything more, just nodded and said: "You are the head of the family, I will just listen to you on matters at home."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the money."
