Chapter 11 Bet

Two taels of silver are not a small amount. Xu Jiaorong did several jobs at the same time, and he couldn't make so much money in a month. Just letting a seat make two taels of silver is actually not a loss.

Xu Mu'e also had this idea, but when she saw Xu Xian's smile appearing on her face, she looked down on her heart a little.

She had never regressed when she saw Xu Xian and heard about their identities. Although she was a little unhappy, she still admired her a little bit. After all, there were not many people in this world who were not afraid of power, and most of such people had the righteous spirit that scholars should have in their hearts.

Now it seems that this person has achieved great power and cannot be betrayal, but he cannot be rich and cannot be miserable... he has lost his money and is indifferent to it.

Xu Mu'e has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she has whatever she wants. So in her opinion, scholars should be noble and never bow their backs for five dou of rice.

"It seems that the lady is very rich." Xu Xian asked, looking at the Yinzi on the table.

Xu Mu'e was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly: "Give up your seat!"

Xu Xian nodded and said, "It's okay to give up your seat. If the lady is willing to pay, it's OK to give up a seat. But..." Xu Xian paused for a moment, changed the subject and said, "But, is it a little less than two taels of silver?"

"I still think it's too little?" Xu Mu'e widened her eyes and asked, "How much do you want?"

"If you give us three, you will give us ten taels to you. How about it?" Xu Xian said.

"Thirty taels?" Xu Mu'e laughed in anger, "Why don't you say three hundred taels! Don't want these two taels of silver!"

After saying that, she took away the silver from the stone table.

Her father is a Hangzhou Prefecture School Master, and he is not short of money, but he is not that much that can make her spend too much. All the pocket money she has now added up to about ten taels.

Xu Xian was also a little surprised.

Not willing to do it?

Isn’t the second generation of officials in my impression all generously and must do something if you decide that you have to treat money as dirt?

Originally, Xu Xian thought that if these two people were willing to be suckers and offer high prices to sell seats, it wouldn't matter if he asked for a seat. Now that they refused, it was nothing.

Xu Mu'e looked at Xu Xian with anger, and suddenly her eyes turned around and her inspiration was heard. There were five stone stools next to the stone table. After Xu Xian and the other two occupied three, there were still two left. So she quickly pulled Lin Fei to sit on a stool.

Just now, I was only concerned about driving Xu Xian and the other two away, but ignored the remaining stools.

After sitting down, Xu Mu'e felt very happy, looked at Xu Xian proudly, and showed off: "How about it, don't you have to pay for these two stools?"

Xu Xian smiled and said lightly: "No."

Yu didn't mean to stop for a while. It was lunch time. After Xu Mu'e and Lin Fei sat down, they also took out food to replenish their energy.

As for Qin Ming and Li Chong, they stared at Xu Xian with vicious eyes, dried the stool on the edge of the long pavilion, and sat down with just a few steps.

Both of them were jealous of Xu Xian and they held grudges. If they were usually unwilling to give up. However, with Lin Fei and Xu Mu'e here today, they were just accompanying each other. They did not get angry, so they naturally didn't dare to hold their anger.

"Brother Xu, have some wine?" Unlike Xu Mu'e, who was in a bad mood, Lin Fei did not seem to be angry about what happened just now. After sitting down, he took the initiative to ask Xu Xian if he could drink.

Xu Xian shook his head and refused.

Xu Xian didn't want to pay attention, but Lin Fei seemed to be very interested. After a while, he asked again: "I heard Li Chong say just now that Brother Xu is going to Hangzhou Prefecture City to participate in the prefecture examination?"

Lin Fei is a person with a relatively casual personality and does not like being too old-fashioned. As a young master of Tongzhi, he has not developed a playboy spirit. What Xu Xian did just now made him feel very interesting, so he has the meaning of making friends.

He didn't hit the smiling person, and Xu Xian did not pretend to be noble and did not answer, nodding to say yes.

Xu Mu'e curled her lips when she heard this and said, "I think it's a waste of effort to take the mansion exam in this way. It's better to give up as soon as possible and stop studying. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam for the whole life!"

Li Chong next to him immediately echoed and laughed: "Miss Xu, you are right. Xu Xian may not be able to pass the exam for the Tongsheng in his life! I once studied at Wansong Academy in Qiantang County and was classmates with Xu Xian. Even the teacher said that he had been rotten wood many times and could not be carved. He was a fool! This time he could pass the county examination, which was probably because he was lucky!"

Xu Mu'e nodded deeply: "Yes, right? I just said that a stinky man with only money in his eyes will definitely not have any talent, it would be strange if he can get a good fortune!"

The two sang together and were full of gunpowder.

Lin Fei, who originally thought Xu Xian was very interesting, frowned at this time, thinking that this person was not interesting, but really stupid?

If an ordinary person was ridiculed like this, he would probably be ashamed.

He Liang and Li Gongfu were a little angry when they heard this, and their faces turned red. If they hadn't been worried about the fact that the identities of the few people were not simple, they would have wanted to hit people.

Xu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What if I can pass this house examination?"

"Impossible!" Li Chong blurted out. He knew Xu Xian's level very well, but when he saw Xu Xian's confident eyes, he, who was already full of confidence, suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.

Did this kid suddenly get enlightened in the past year?

So he whispered for a while and changed his words: "Even if you pass the mansion exam by chance, you will never be able to pass the scholarship in your life!"

Xu Xian continued: "If I take the exam this year, what would you say if I pass the scholar exam?"

Now Li Chong was full of confidence and sneered: "If you can pass the scholar this year, I will do whatever you want me to do! Even if you cut off your head and serve as a chamber pot for you!"

Xu Xian said: "There is no need to be a chamber pot, I feel uncomfortable. If I can pass the hospital examination this year, you only need to shout "I am a candle" in public on the day of the announcement."

Li Chong mocked: "Okay! If you don't pass the exam then, you have to shout "I'm a fool" in public!"

Xu Xian nodded and agreed.

Since some people say he is a fool, then he will understand who is the real fool.

Xu Mu'e snorted coldly. Although she didn't know Xu Xian before, she didn't bother to say at this time: "I want to pass the county test, the government test, and the hospital test three tests? Who do you think you are?"

It is not easy to get into a scholar, and it is common for many people to get into the age of 30. It is even more difficult to get into a scholar just after passing the mansion exam within one year.

Such a genius will have great hope even if he passes the Jinshi exam.

Li Chong is already a little talented. He was the best at Wansong Academy at the time, but he failed to pass the provincial examination and the college examination at one time. This year is the second year, and he is only 70% sure that he can get into the scholar.

If Xu Xian had such talent, he would not have been so famous. He had long been famous in Qiantang County and was also famous throughout Hangzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Xian to be admitted to the scholar this year.
