Chapter 20 Wang is a scholar

Qin Yue curled her lips, looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Forehead?"

"You are not suitable for business, but you can try it. If the business fails, you can gain some knowledge and you will not lose anything."

Zhuang Shi pursed his lips, "Then let me try?"

"Ok!"

So Shi Shi turned around and went to the kitchen and started to prepare.

Qin Yue is now at the fifth level of Qi training, and her hearing is more sensitive. Aunt Sun came to visit and heard everything she said to Mrs. Xiang.

The content was nothing more than about the Yang family, and even if she lowered her voice, it was clearly conveyed to her.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shaohua would work so hard to please his bride.

It would be good for a thin scholar with no fingers to touch the spring water, so that the original owner can give birth to a child. If it goes like this, it won't take long for him to be sucked dry.

Zhuang Dashan saw his son in the kitchen and hurried over to help.

"Are you making tofu?"

"Yes, Dad, my son wants to sell tofu, so we can't let Mr. Qin go into the mountains. It's too dangerous."

"That's okay. This way, the family will have two incomes and she won't be so tired. Dad will help you do it together. It'll be easier this way."

The father and son were working in the kitchen and chatting.

"Shitou, do you know about the Yang family's scandal?"

Speaking of this, Zhuang Shi blushed.

"Then Yang Shaohua is a scholar and is not worthy of such a good woman as Mrs. Qin."

"You don't have that intention towards her?" Zhuang Dashan asked tentatively.

"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm just avenging the Qin family's injustice."

Zhuang Dashan lowered his voice: "Your Aunt Sun said that he always goes to the brothel secretly to have fun. The bride also has many men, and neither of them is a good person."

"Let's live our lives. God has eyes. Bad people will always be punished."

Zhuang Dashan patted his son on the shoulder, "To be honest, Mr. Qin is really good. Dad hopes that you two will be together."

Shitou was immediately flustered, "Dad, don't talk nonsense. There is no way to repay the life of salvation. Whatever you do is what you should do. She and I are just a fake couple."

"It is true now, and it may be true in the future."

"My mother rejects the Qin family so much, I'm afraid! Alas~"

Qin Yue didn't go out these days. She was either feeding chickens or dogs at home. Zhuang Shi took the time to take her to the fields.

"I have cleaned up all the gravel here. If I have cattle, I can add more fertilizer. I will pick some soil and fill it with a layer. I will raise them well and it will soon become a fertile farm."

"Remember to spread a layer of hay and burn it, so that the insect eggs will be burned to death, and there will be no big losses in the crops next year."

She had planted the land in her previous life by herself, so she still had experience in this area.

"got it."

Qin Yue pointed in one direction and asked, "Whose land is over there?"

"It belongs to the villagers, and it is one year older than our land."

"Go to the village chief and ask about it. Try to buy this land. If not, use more money."

"Huh? Their land has been just ordinary fields since they were opened up, but it's not fertile farmland yet. Isn't it worth it?"

Qin Yue's face suddenly sank, "If you ask, just ask. It will be useful if you buy me. The village chief loves to take advantage of others. If you give him a little more money, let him come out to collect the land. Three taels of silver per acre, even if you don't sell it." ”

"Good farmland only costs six taels of silver per acre."

"Why are you talking so nonsense like your mother? Believe me or not?"

As soon as Qin Yue raised her hand, Zhuang Shi ran away.

He covered his head and looked at her aggrievedly.

"I just think it's hard for you to make money, and I don't want you to spend it in vain."

"You know what the heck, people have worked so hard to open up wasteland, how can they be willing to sell it and get the land back without giving more?"

"Okay, I'll ask the village chief when the autumn harvest comes."

"Remember to give money to the village chief and didn't ask for it from me." "Oh!"

In addition to cooking every day, Shi Tou also makes tofu when he has free time. He makes two plates a day and plans to sell it on a trial basis.

As a result, he failed within a few days.

Reason [-]: This incident was known to the villagers. As soon as he went out with his burden, he was surrounded. He was given only three pennies for a pound of tofu, which cost five pennies, and a bowl of soy milk, which cost one cent. A bowl of tofu bread is worth a penny, and there is no money to be made at all.

Reason two: Even if he left the village early, he would not be able to sell elsewhere. The people who came out to buy were all women. Surrounded by a group of such people, not only would he be taken advantage of, but the price of tofu would also be lowered. He, a young man, faced so many Woman, I am really mute and can't tell you the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.

Reason three: He is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. When he encounters a poor person, he wants to help him. Not only does the tofu fail to sell for money, but he also pays for it.

Shitou returned home with an empty load, sat at the table and sighed, while Zhuang Dashan brought him a bowl of boiled water.

"What's the matter?"

"Qin Yue said that I was not a businessman, and as expected, I haven't made a penny these days, and I even borrowed some money."

"Then stop doing it and concentrate on doing what she told you."

"we can only do this."

From then on, Zhuang Shi concentrated on doing housework, and followed Qin Yue to read and write when he was free.

Not to mention, he is really good at reading. Not only does he have a good memory, but he can also draw inferences from one instance to another. Especially when practicing calligraphy, his writing is impressive.

Qin Yue would sometimes watch him write seriously, feeling like she had found a treasure, but...

"Stone?"

"Huh?" Zhuang Shi practiced calligraphy seriously without raising his head.

"My aunt will allow you to take the scientific examination, but you can only take the examination to be a scholar. The most you can do is to be a scholar. Don't even think about going up."

Zhuang Shi's eyes lit up. As long as he did better than Yang Shaohua, it would be fine. But when he thought of money, his eyes dimmed.

"It takes a lot of money to support a scholar. I don't want you to be too tired. I'll be satisfied if you can read."

"I'm not tired, I can teach you. You don't have to go to any school or ask for a teacher. Do you understand?"

Zhuang Shi suddenly raised his head, as if his suspicion had been confirmed.

"Oh, I know."

"You see, this is what I think. When you win the title of Scholar or Successor, we will set up a school in the village. At that time, children from villages all over the country can come to our home to study. Being an official is not as good as being a teacher. There is so much intrigue in the officialdom. , but being a teacher can make people all over the world, and make more children literate, which means more? What do you think?"

Zhuang Shi suddenly realized that Mrs. Qin was right, he would definitely not be able to adapt to the intrigues in the officialdom.

Mrs. Xiang was in the shade of the courtyard, glaring at the two people inside with cold eyes.

How dare you stop your son from becoming an official? This bad woman, a dead woman, she will definitely die a bad death!

She wanted to rush over and drag her son out. This shameless woman not only seduced her son, but also instilled bad thoughts in him. She was almost mad to death.

People, if you don’t know how to be grateful, you will be punished sooner or later.

No, I just worried about that. When I got angry, I exerted all my strength and fell off the stage.

A scream startled everyone.

Zhuang Dashan heard the sound and hurried over to help her. Zhuang Shi and Qin Yue also walked out of the house.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about it!"

Xiang glanced at Qin Yue and said to Qin Yue while suppressing her anger.

"Since you are pretending to be a couple with my son, don't mistake him for him. Don't just stay together in the name of literacy."

Qin Yue was about to speak, but Zhuang Shi was unhappy.

"Mom, please don't say this kind of thing again in the future. My son wants to learn how to read, and he took the initiative. If you continue to do this, your son will be really angry."

"She knows nothing, but she just stayed in the Yang family for a few years, and she acts like she knows everything."

Xiang couldn't help it anymore and blurted out what she was thinking.

Qin Yue was really speechless. Is this Mr. Xiang mentally ill?

She stepped forward and grabbed Xiang's front, dragged her directly to the courtyard door, opened the courtyard door with her hand, and threw her out.

"Old guy, I think you don't know your identity. If you don't get out of my house today, you're a coward. Aren't you the one who can beat me?"
