Chapter 171 Spending money is a kind of skill, and the skill is superb

Bai Muyan tilted his head and looked at Xu Tianxin and said, "I haven't seen your shop yet."

Xu Tianxin thought for a while: "At this time, the house should be completely white. That's just right. Let's go there and draw the drawings."

When Xu Tianxin passed by Wang Yusheng, he said hello: "Uncle Wang."

"Ai."

Bai Muyan saw that Tian Xin'er specially greeted the strong man in front of him, so he nodded accordingly.

When the two people passed by, Wang Yusheng followed them with his eyes, watching their backs as they talked and laughed.

In fact, he had been observing for a while, starting from the time one of them was waiting in front of the house and the other came out of the house.

How to describe that feeling?
Wang Yusheng thought:
Standing in front of the steps, he always whispers.

Even when he was speechless, Bai Xiucai always held back his smile, as if he always wanted to laugh. The two of them stood together without saying anything.

The spade in Wang Yusheng's hand fell to the ground inexplicably.

He stood there and thought for a while, then turned and went to the back of the house to find Xu Youliang.

At this time, Xu Youliang, with a charcoal pen pinned to his ear, was measuring the size of the dried trees.I was thinking about how I could save some money to make cabinets and use the saved wood to add some small stools.

"Second child."

"Why is Brother Wang here?"

Wang Yusheng was afraid that others would hear him, so he pulled Xu Youliang's arm and walked away, then asked: "Do you know that the prodigy from the Bai family is here? He is the scholar."

Xu Youliang said he knew, and he said hello when they first met: "What's wrong?"

Wang Yusheng hesitated.

He didn't want to say that he was afraid that after watching Tian Xin'er for too long, he would become obsessed with Bai Xiucai's beauty and be unable to extricate himself.We are the girls, and when it comes to beauty, the white scholar should be obsessed with our baby's appearance, so he should not belittle his own daughter.

We can only start from the aspect of first meeting and fearing that our heart will pound after a long time.

Wang Yusheng hesitantly reminded Xu Youliang that Tian Xin'er was already a cardamom. According to the village custom, 13 years old turned fourteen years old. Although she was still young, she would be engaged as early as others.

Therefore, no matter how old or young she is, girls are still precocious, so they cannot spend too much time with foreign men, and it is easy for them to overthink things.This overthinking does not mean that people in the village gossip, but that Tian Xin'er is afraid that after spending time with others, she will spend the night thinking about her dreams. This is how many little girls start.

"Second brother, do you understand what I mean? If you really want to think about that, you should let the man be confused first. We shouldn't lose our souls first. I'm a little worried because of this. I see Tian Xin'er today He always laughs and doesn’t go to work.”

Wang Yusheng was afraid that the explanation would not be adequate, so he gave an example, saying that his niece was younger than Tian Xin'er in her childhood. She looked up to the poor boy in Majiagou, and finally rushed to that direction.It's obvious that if you stay steady, you can order more betrothal gifts, but in the end you don't want them. This is the price of being tempted in the first place.Not to mention, the Bai family's family background is already excellent, so it's easy for them not to look down upon me.He is worried about this.

Only then did Xu Youliang understand.

After understanding it, he said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. That is your niece you are talking about. My niece follows my mother."

Xu Youliang now fully understands what kind of person his mother is.

That means no matter how many old men you have contact with, there is no personal relationship.

And any old man who is willing to say a few more words will have interests involved, and will eventually be developed into a subordinate. That's how he is.

"No..." Wang Yusheng thought to himself: Why is this still being carried?
He used his niece as an example out of kindness.

Xu Laoer laughed and said he didn't mean anything else before Wang Yusheng could speak again.

What he meant was: "The one in your family is made of pure cardamom. Maybe you will start to think about useless things when you get older. The one in my family is made of money. And when it comes to finding a wishful husband, it seems as if you are in your forties. It has to be very transparent.”

Not to mention cardamom, I'm afraid my niece will have enough energy after she has passed her prime.

Being able to make Xu Laoer swear to say this means that he has evidence.

One of the evidences is that he was working outside the window one day and accidentally heard Xiao Qin and Tian Xin'er chatting.

While frying fish floss, Xiaoqin told her niece, who was making a fire, that she would settle down after meeting him on a blind date.

His niece immediately said: "I really don't understand. What kind of people would make a lifelong commitment after meeting once or twice? It's so easy to fall in love with each other. It's really inexplicable."

His wife: No wonder, this is not where we are standing, your uncle and I are.

His niece: What I said is that you will settle down for life only because you like it. Did you marry because you like it?The most I can do is ask my uncle to get interested in your aunt.

"Your second uncle has never liked me?"

"Auntie, when you asked this question, you already had the answer in your mind, didn't you? I'm tired of analyzing it."

Then his niece also said: "Even at the beginning, my second uncle didn't even have sex with you, aunt. He may have weighed the pros and cons and decided that it would be better to work in the house for the little money he spent marrying you."

At that time, his heart went cold when he listened outside. If he allowed his niece and his wife to continue chatting, he was really afraid that his niece would say the next thing: "Let's make peace and let my second uncle go out."

So, I haven't figured it out yet, even my uncle is fooled.

And a child who can say such things can be attracted by Bai Xiucai after just joking and chatting for a while?He wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.

To use my niece's exact words, isn't that baffling?

Xu Laoer seriously suspected that his niece wanted Bai Xiucai to help sell saponins.Just let him go, there will be no profit and no compensation.

Wang Yusheng was helpless. What kind of uncle was he? He was unreliable, so he could only go to Liu Laozhu again.

Wang Yusheng didn't want to be so troubled.

Let's put it this way, if he had Aunt Xu here today, not to mention the two children talking together, even if they were really hugging each other, he would help cover their eyes.This shows that Aunt Xu allowed it.

But it was precisely because the Xu family was not around that he would rather take care of things than take care of them.

Perhaps Liu Laozhu had the same idea as Wang Yusheng.

Isn't that right? Liu Laozhu found an excuse to abandon Bai's father and specially came to Xu's shop to listen secretly, planning to cough at any time if the situation went wrong.

……

"Do you have a drawing board?" Bai Muyan was curious about everything in the Xu family's shop. Even the walls of the Xu family's house were whiter than others.

But what surprised him even more was that Xu Tianxin had an exclusive drawing board, which he didn't expect.

Xu Tianxin disagreed and said: "One day I accidentally said that I wanted a drawing board, and the next day my second uncle made it for me. I was surprised." She said casually.

Bai Muyan could feel that this girl without a father or mother in front of her was not lacking in love.

While Xu Tianxin was drawing with charcoal, he introduced her business in three and a half sentences:
"If I sell a drip watch to others, I will use a woven dial and ask the old craftsmen in the village to make it as beautiful as possible, including the hands that will be distinguished and colored. Four candle bodies will be installed next to them, and candles will be inserted. It can be used as a lamp and tell the time."

Xu Tianxin was drawing pictures as she told the story. She was drawing a bird, and she wanted to pull her hair out after finishing the drawing. No wonder her second uncle made a wood carving of a female ghost after reading her drawings. Why was it so ugly?

She wasn't embarrassed at all. She drew the picture to explain the meaning to Bai Muyan. She didn't sell paintings, so her expression didn't change at all after drawing the ugly picture, and she continued to introduce:
"Brother Sihai, when the time comes, here and here, can you understand? There will be a small wooden bird coming out to play the drum at all hours. Of course, you can also play the gong or the bell. I will see what is installed. What does it look good for?"

“Shouldn’t we consider which one is more cost-effective?”

Xu Tianxin was asked: "I still think it's better to make something good to look at. After all, it's expensive, so people must think it's worth it."

Xu Tianxin named the water dropper the passing time.

She knew very well what the selling point of her water clock was.

One is the water drop watches already on the market here, which are usually large and do not have dial hands.How to make the hands rotate on the dial is one of her specialties.

Another selling point is that the time is calibrated. Even if someone imitates it later, it may not be as punctual as hers.Because she adjusted it according to the time in the live broadcast room, you must know that the time changes as the water level rises.

In addition to the above two points, it is difficult for others to imitate for a while. In appearance, she is not comparable to skilled craftsmen. After all, the craftsmanship of the villagers is limited.I can only try my best to make it look better and use my creativity.

When it came to money, Bai Muyan asked, "What price do you plan to sell it for?" He admitted that what Tian Xin just said were all selling points. "50 taels, the small one is 50 taels, and the big one is [-] taels. I just don't know Brother Sihai, the family background of your classmates..."

Bai Muyan did not directly talk about the family background of his classmates, but said that compared with them, he was: shy with little money, but only a penny left to see.

Keep a penny in your empty pocket and guard it to prevent others from laughing at you.

Given the conditions of the Bai family, Xu Tianxin understood that Bai Muyan could use these two lines in a poem, which meant that his classmates in the academy were much better off than the Bai family.

Xu Tianxin smiled.

Bai Muyan suddenly asked: "Do you know how many classmates I have in the same class? Have you ever thought about how you will spend the money you earn? Do you have to use it to buy books?"

Bai Muyan was curious about how Xu Tianxin would spend it after making a lot of money.

Buying clothes, adding field jewelry to your home?Or simply don’t think about this issue clearly.

No, how is that possible? Later generations even have songs about how to spend money after making money.

Xu Tianxin has already arranged his life when he has money, but he still doesn't have the money.

So she answered with a smile on her face without pausing: "After making a lot of money, I will buy something for myself and my family. Then get rid of this part. If there is anything left, I want to open a school in the village."

Liu Laozhu outside the door and Bai Muyan inside the room were stunned at the same time.

When Xu Tianxin mentioned her life after getting rich, she couldn't stop talking about it. She continued to think about it:
"The purpose of hiring teachers at a school is not only to teach them illiteracy, but also to teach them etiquette, music, archeology, and ritual.

You can calculate how many gentlemen I have to hire and how much high price I have to pay if I want people to live in our village.

In this case, in the future, those who practice martial arts in our village, those who take the liberal arts examination, those who practice medicine and open a medical clinic with me, and those who grow medicine fields, all will be outstanding.So I'm not afraid of having more money. "

"Are you asking for nothing in return? Why do you come to open a school with this money?"

Putting aside whether he could do it or not, Bai Muyan never expected that the girl in front of her was just a young girl, but she had a whole world in her heart.

Xu Tianxin thinks this question is a bit redundant.

She asked back: "Many children in the village want to call me sister or aunt. You men are very particular about returning home in fine clothes and giving back to your hometown. After I have arranged my life, it is difficult to understand if I still have extra ability and want to give back to my hometown. ?"

Why can’t women lead everyone to become excellent together?

Moreover, Xu Tianxin envied Bai Muyan for being able to take the imperial examination. She hoped that her three uncles would also take the imperial examination, but they were already over the age and seemed to have mediocre qualifications.

At most, her three uncles were taught how to read by Mr. Wen, and they learned all the words. They will be more open-minded and polite when walking in the world.

Master Wu teaches them how to ride and shoot, so they can improve their combat effectiveness, protect themselves, and form a wild hunting team belonging to their village.

In short, she felt that the three uncles, including the uncles in the village, could only improve to this extent.

But kids are different.

Her grandma often said that the children in the village would call her Grandma Xu. If a grandma had the ability, she would not dare to say anything else. She would just take out some money and treat it as if she had not earned it. I am still willing to do the thing of wearing something warm and long-lasting.

Xu Tianxin thought: Then she will help her with their studies, so that the children of her three uncles and the children in the village will be much better than their parents in ten or eight years.

Along with her little sisters and brothers of the same age, if she could learn, I think she would have a lot of excellent helpers and like-minded people.

He can also kill elders like Grandpa Zhai.Grandpa Zhai never asked for a penny to help her and he did his best.

"Brother Sihai, who said that children in the village can't live a wonderful life? Who said they can only farm and work and know nothing else? I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying. .”

When Xu Tianxin said this, he suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, with the money I earn from selling water drippers, I will also give gifts. Giving gifts should come before giving back to my hometown."

You can’t talk nonsense, and you don’t know if it’s enough.

Because spending money on yourself comes first, buying gifts for family members comes second, and giving gifts comes third.

Before the gifts are given, we can't pay for the village to open a school.

"Gift?"

Xu Tianxin nodded: "Yes."

Xu Tianxin thought: For example, give it to you.

I'm very grateful for buying a lot of cheap flowers and plants. I can't just say my gratitude. When I earn money, I'll give Bai Xiucai a drip clock to you. I hope you will have a great future.

Bai Muyan's eyes flashed with boiling light.

He looked at Xu Tianxin's facial features and flashed in his mind, his eyes were bright and his eyebrows were soft.The wind has an appointment, the flowers are not missed, and the flowers are not lost.

But he suddenly said business: "According to the size you just mentioned, I will pay a deposit for two now. This is the banknote, keep it. As for my share, I will sell a few more later." Do the math together, you have to remember it clearly and don’t give me a penny less.”

"Ah?" Xu Tianxin looked at the banknote and saw it for the first time.

"I'm sure you can sell it if you do it well."

Bai Muyan was subconsciously worried. He was worried that if he didn't buy two first, he had heard Liu Lizheng talk about the Xu family's situation, and how would Tian Xin'er get the money to customize a large number of gears and pay for labor.

I was also afraid that Xu Tianxin wouldn't accept it, so I added that I was sure it would be sold.

However, in fact, it can indeed be sold, and the classmate from Xiangshan who was enlightened together can buy it.

Bai Muyan picked up the rough charcoal pencil and said to Xu Tianxin: "Let me help you draw a new production diagram."

Time to perform real techniques.

After just a few strokes, Xu Tianxin sincerely praised him: "Oh my God, what a wonderful stroke. It turns out you are so good at painting."

She almost thought that Bai Xiucai really relied on hard work to make up for his weakness. He only knew how to study, and he didn't know how to drink tea, play flute, draw or anything like that.As a result, if you look at the little bird painted by others, you will see that it is a good bird.

Bai Muyan laughed when he heard Xu Tianxin's words and continued to draw seriously.

In fact, he has not painted for a long time.

When I was a child, I wanted to make a living by painting, but later I realized that to support a family, you not only need to have the extraordinary talent praised by your husband, but also have a solid family background, fame in the circle, and suitable opportunities.

But in fact, no one would buy a painting by an unknown person at a high price and hang it up. It is more difficult than taking the imperial examination.

After thinking about it clearly, he never touched the brush again.Even if sometimes I want to draw a few strokes to express my feelings, I will curb my inner desire.After all, even reading miscellaneous books may be beneficial to the imperial examination, but painting cannot give immediate substance.

Today, Bai Muyan did not curb her inner desire, and just wanted to draw a beautiful "passage picture" for Xu Tianxin.

He felt that he was drawing more than just production drawings.

But I am willing to use my pen to try my best to draw what you want, and since I promise to cooperate with you, I will be generous with my time to help you make money.

He would find many classmates to buy water drippers. Fortunately, he was always popular.

This is just for what you just described, the world of stars after making money.

Outside.

Wang Yusheng had just been asked to question him, and as soon as he turned around, Uncle Li Zheng started crying. What happened in the room?

After questioning, Liu Laozhu wiped his eyes and said with emotion: "I always made a promise that I didn't get the money for. I couldn't tell the difference between east and west." Can make people cry first.

Another irrelevant comment: "Actually, there are a lot of things at home. How can I do it without Tian Xin'er? If necessary, she can go out for a walk after making soap. She can't sell it to anyone. I don’t have enough money.”

That's awesome, we girls from Erdaohe should go out more often and meet people, so as not to make a lot of money.

Liu Laozhu was crying when he suddenly shouted from a distance: "Uncle Li Zheng, here is the person who is looking for trouble!"
