Chapter 44 Plan
After dinner, Xu Jiaorong was happy, but she couldn't let go of her afternoon work. She made an appointment with her employers every day, and all odd jobs must be completed regularly.
Seeing this, Xu Xian naturally stopped him and said seriously: "Sister, don't do odd jobs for others in the future."
"Where do you get money if you don't work odd jobs? How do you get into the subject?" Xu Jiaorong didn't care and said with a smile: "Okay, I know you feel sorry for your sister, but my sister has long been used to it and it's not hard at all."
How could it not be hard?
Xu Xian forcibly pressed Xu Jiaorong down and sat on a chair, took out the admission documents of Hangzhou Prefecture Literature Academy from the bookcase, and explained: "I don't need to spend money to go to school in the future. This time I was the first child student in the prefecture examination. I will not only not spend a penny of tuition fees, but the government will also give me eight dou of granaries every month. In the past two years, if I can pass the college entrance examination and get a scholar, I will receive more subsidies!"
"So, sister, you really don't have to work hard to make money anymore."
Xu Jiaorong didn't expect to be the head of the government trial, and there was this benefit. After taking Xu Xian's document and taking a closer look, he asked in disbelief: "Really?"
Xu Xian nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Jiaorong sighed again with excitement. He looked at the documents and his younger brother, and his joy was beyond words.
But unexpectedly, after a while, she calmed down and shook her head and said, "No, I still have to make more money. You don't need money to go to school for the exam, but will you get married and have children in the future?"
Xu Xian was speechless.
Unexpectedly, my sister has started to consider getting married and having children for me.
I thought I didn’t have to worry about my marriage. The fate has long been decided. I will definitely get you a fairy-looking sister-in-law back in the future!
But this matter obviously cannot be said, and Xu Jiaorong will not believe it even if he says it.
Xu Jiaorong was a little worried and happy at this time, and said, "You don't know that since the news of your conquering the head of the court came back, our threshold has been almost flattened by the matchmaker these days, and they are all here to match you! I used to worry that you were getting married and having children was a big problem, and I thought I would solve it for you as soon as possible, but now there are too many. I dare not choose it for you casually, for fear that you will not like it if I choose it..."
Taking the imperial examination does not conflict with getting married. You can also take the imperial examination after getting married or even having children.
Xu Xian will be sixteen years old in a few months. In the context of the general early marriage and early childbirth in the Dali Dynasty, he can also get married and have children.
"Sister, you must not agree to the marriage to me."
Xu Xian was sweating coldly. If he was promised a marriage, it would definitely be a troublesome thing.
"I know." Xu Jiaorong snorted and said proudly: "My younger brother is now the head of the court case. In the future, he will be a scholar and a juren. Of course, he is not worthy of an ordinary woman. He must be a lady from a noble family and a wise man. Ordinary rouge powder, I don't even think of it."
Xu Jiaorong treats others kindly and will not look down on others.
However, when it comes to her younger brother's marriage, she will increase her requirements, which is probably similar to her parents' thinking that her children are the best.
Xu Xian hurriedly said, "No matter whether you are a lady or not, you can't agree to others. I'll make my own decision on getting married. If it's not what I like, no matter how good it is, it's useless."
Xu Jiaorong stared at her and taught, "Nonsense. Marriage is a major event in life, and it must be 'the order of parents and the words of matchmakers'. Our parents are gone, and I have to check your marriage for you." At this point, she paused and changed the subject and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. You are not old now and have just passed the exam for a child. Wait for two years, and it's not too late to talk to you about a scholar or a juren. Just work hard."
Xu Xian felt a little relieved when he heard this.
In two years, she will be unable to do so.
In the end, under Xu Xian's persuasion, Xu Jiaorong decided to give up the odd jobs she has now.
It’s not because she doesn’t want to make money anymore, but because she thinks that Xu Xian is now a child and her identity is different from before. As a sister, she also needs to pay attention to her image.
If you help others do odd jobs like before, it would be bad for Xu Xian to tell you.
Over the years, she has accumulated some silver. In addition, the gifts sent by the yamen a few days ago were twenty taels of silver. She thought she could do some small business.
But no matter what, the next work I had to finish was completed, and I had to work for two days.
You cannot be untrustful in life. If you promise someone else, you will have to finish your work. If someone asks her for help in the future, it will be impossible to accept it.
"Okay, you just came back. Let's have a good rest at home today. Tomorrow we will go to worship our ancestors first, then burn incense and worship Buddha, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you with smooth road to the imperial examination." After Xu Jiaorong gave instructing him, he went out.
Xu Xian shook his head and looked at Xu Jiaorong's departure back, his heart was warm and surrounded by family affection.
"The plan I made before is almost ready to be implemented now." Xu Xian said in his heart.
When he first came over, he was considering how to change the situation of his family being barely silenced so that his sister could live a good life without having to work hard every day. But Xu Xian was really powerless before, and even a time traveler, he had no good way to make money.
Now that he has passed the imperial examination for his children, he has barely achieved fame; two excellent poems from the past have been passed down, and one of the "The Five Kingdoms" that caused a huge sensation, whose reputation has gradually spread.
In the future, when someone mentions a talented man in Jiangnan, most of them will think of him Xu Xian.
With fame and fame, it is the most precious thing for scholars in the Dali Dynasty, and it will be much easier to do anything.
For example, open a calligraphy and painting shop.
At the beginning, Xu Xian thought about the ways that the protagonists who read time travel novels in his previous life would take, open restaurants, invent fine wine, food, etc.
Unfortunately, he was not a chef in his previous life and did not understand cooking skills.
Moreover, as his scholar, he was not suitable for taking the imperial examination.
Opening a calligraphy and painting shop is the most suitable for Xu Xian!
In the Dali Dynasty, scholars were still supreme, and calligraphy and painting shops were naturally very popular. Moreover, Xu Xian had never dabbled in painting, but his calligraphy had reached the "level of entering the Tao" and had his own unique style and could be sold.
The most important point is that Xu Xian has a world of cultural accumulation. Just like his two previous poems and a strategy, the poems or story novels that can be crafted out at will will definitely be popular all over the world and be very popular.
Running a bookstore will definitely be the way to get rich.
Just as Xu Xian was thinking about the plan, a cry suddenly came from outside the door.
Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.
"Chinese, Chinese! I heard you are back, come out soon!"
There is no one else except for fat man He Liang.
Chapter completed!
