Xu Jin put the fragrant sachet into his arms and continued to recite "Mencius" loudly: The most important thing for people to know each other is to know each other. The most important thing for people to know each other is to know their hearts...

As a time traveler, Xu Jin's modern social concepts make him hesitant to accept Fei Ruyi's affection. However, as the saying goes, gentlemen are good at chasing after beauties, and it is common for men to pursue beauties, not to mention pursuing beauties like flowers.

Xu Jin admitted that he was attracted by the beautiful girl Fei Ruyi paid homage to. Since he could not avoid the customs, he should follow the local customs. After all, in ancient society where men were superior to women, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Fei Shi was not the same.

Have you taken in a concubine?

Of course, Xu Jin knew that with his current social status, it would be difficult to marry Fei Ruyi as a concubine, even as an equal wife. No matter how much Master Fei valued him, he would not be able to give him his niece as a concubine in order to equalize his wife.

Even if I'm afraid of getting married, I won't agree.

Therefore, if Xu Jin wants to marry Fei Ruyi, he has to put in a lot of effort. At least he has to be named on the gold list and get the title of Jinshi, and it is best to be in the top three. This way there will naturally be much less resistance. Of course, if Xiaonu

It would be best if the son can be given a betrothal marriage after he ascends the throne. Everyone will be happy and no resistance will be a problem.

Fortunately, Fei Ruyi's filial piety period is still two years away, leaving plenty of time for Xu Jin. There will be eight provincial examinations next year and the general examination in March the year after that. If he successfully passes the imperial examination, Xu Jin will shamelessly propose marriage to the Fei family. If he can't do it anymore,

Take the path of gifted marriage.

What Xu Jin is most worried about now is Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao. This guy is a powder keg that can explode at any time. He doesn’t know when it will explode. If it explodes during the provincial examination next year, it will be great fun. This provincial examination in Jiangxi will probably

Being screwed up, many students who have studied hard for more than ten years may cry, and they themselves will have to suffer the same fate.

After Xu Jinchen finished reading, he put away the book and returned to the room. Two pairs of beautiful eyes looked at each other in unison.

Take off Xu Jin's outer cloak.

Xu Jin sat down at the table, and Yue'er quickly brought over a bowl of hot Laba porridge.

"Mr. Xu, is it delicious?" Ru Hua asked with a smile.

Xu Jin glanced at Fei Ruyi, who was looking forward to it, and immediately guessed something, and said with a smile: "Well, it tastes good, sweet but not greasy, delicious!"

As soon as he entered the painting, he said proudly: "My girl cooked this by herself."

Fei Ruyi's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "If you want me to talk too much, sister Xiaowan, Yue'er, you guys should try it too, there's still a lot in the pot!"

Now that Miss Fei San had received Xu Jin's definite promise, she was so happy that the joy was written on her face. She personally served a bowl of Laba porridge to Xie Xiaowan.

"Sister Ruyi, how does this make...Thank you, try it yourself!" Xie Xiaowan also hurriedly filled a bowl for Fei Ruyi.

When they were in Shangrao County, Fei Ruyi had a good time with Xie Xiaowan. Over the past few months, Fei Ruyi had been there almost every day, and the two women naturally became more familiar and intimate.

Fei Ruyi and Xie Xiaowan are both smart women. The former knows that if she wants to marry into the Xu family in the future, she must establish a good relationship with Xie Xiaowan and please the main wife, so she pays attention to staying humble in daily interactions and intimacy, and treats Xie Xiaowan well.

For example, when I personally served Xie Xiaowan porridge just now, I was also polite to the maid Yue'er.

And Xie Xiaowan also knew very well that her husband-in-law would probably marry sister Ruyi sooner or later. Although he was a little disappointed, it was not unacceptable. After all, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Instead of his husband-in-law, he would accept other women as his wife in the future.

Concubine, it’s better to marry sister Ruyi. After all, sister Ruyi is easy to get along with and is knowledgeable about books and etiquette. Her husband’s family has been passed down for several generations. It would be good for sister Ruyi to marry her and help us spread the branches of the Xu family.

Precisely because the two women have a tacit understanding of accepting each other, they get along extremely harmoniously with each other.

"Oh, we came at the wrong time, disturbing the whole family from eating Laba porridge... geez!"

Fei Xiaoyu's little hottie walked in wearing a fiery red cloak. When they saw Xu Jin, Xie Xiaowan, and Fei Ruyi sitting around the round table eating porridge, they immediately started joking and started laughing.

Fei Jixiang, who was following closely behind, also covered his mouth and smiled, and glanced at Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi meaningfully.

Fei Ruyi couldn't help Xia Fei's cheeks and said angrily: "Fifth sister, if you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth off!"

Xie Xiaowan stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyu's mouth should really be screwed off. Now that we're here, let's sit down together and try the Laba porridge made by sister Ruyi herself."

"Hehe, sister Ruyi cooked it by herself, so you're welcome. It's freezing outside. It's probably going to snow." Fei Xiaoyu took off her cloak and handed it to the maid, then sat down at the table.

Fei Jixiang looked at Fei Xiaoyu, who was sitting down to drink porridge unceremoniously, and said sarcastically: "What did fifth sister just say? Oops, there's one more person in this family!"

Fei Xiaoyu curled her lips and said: "Fourth sister, if you can, just stand and refuse to eat."

Fei Jixiang smiled and said: "Hehe, I have eaten it at home, but I really can't eat it anymore. You and your family should eat it slowly."

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, but it was quite enjoyable to watch the two beauties bickering in front of him.

At this moment, Er Niu ran in and said angrily: "Uncle Ten, your classmate Han Chuang is here. He is waiting outside and is mysteriously carrying a big baggage."

"I know, let him wait for a moment, I'll be out right away."

Xu Jin quickly finished the bowl of hot Laba porridge, then stood up and said: "Madam, you... cough, you eat slowly, I will go outside to meet Han Shoucheng."

Xie Xiaowan said quickly: "It might be snowing. My husband, please put on your cloak. Erniu, remember to bring an umbrella."

Yue'er quickly got a cloak and put it on Xu Jin, and then brought an umbrella and handed it to Er Niu.

Xu Jin and Er Niu had just walked out of the house when they heard Fei Xiaoyu spat: "Xiu Xiucai is so old that he dares to take advantage of me. Madam, you take your time... Bah, bah, bah, I'm not the one."

"

Xu Jin almost fell over. He said that he just made a mistake of the tongue, but he immediately changed his words. Unexpectedly, he was complained about by this little pepper, grandma!

Xu Jin came to the front hall of Fei Mansion. Han Chuang was already waiting there. When he saw him, he threw a bag of white money in front of Xu Jin and said with joy: "Hey, Boss Xu, we are rich. At the end of the year in the black tea business,

Dividends, a total of 120 taels of silver."

It is already the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Chinese New Year will soon come, and the tea business has come to an end. So in the past two days, Huang Desheng has sorted out the black tea accounts from September to now. After excluding the cost, he has earned a total of more than 600 taels of silver.

Since Xu Jin held 20% of the shares, he received a dividend of 120 taels of silver. Boss Huang readily handed it all to Han Chuang and asked him to bring it to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin counted twenty-four taels of silver and put it in front of Han Chuang, and said with a smile: "Young man, this is your share. Well, I will give you an extra tael of silver. If I make up the twenty-five taels, it will be given to you."

New Year’s red envelope!”

"Hey, thank you, Boss Xu!" Han Chuang rubbed his palms and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Although it is only twenty-four taels of silver, it is already a huge sum of money for ordinary people. What's more, it is not even three months from September to now, which is equivalent to a monthly income of eighty taels of silver. This is a common monthly income.

In the Ming Dynasty, when the average income was less than two taels of silver, a monthly income of eight taels of silver was equivalent to the current gold-collar level. By the way, Han Chuang's father, Han Xin's monthly salary was only four taels of silver.

Han Chuang put the money into his purse and said proudly: "The old man's eyes will probably fall out when he sees this!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly laugh, patted Han Chuang on the shoulder and said: "Work hard and strive to double the dividend next year."
