Mrs. Zhang was feeding chickens in the yard. When she saw Shen Yanqing's happy face when she came in, she quickly came out of the chicken coop and wiped her hands.
"Why are you back so early today?" It's half an hour earlier than usual.
Shen Yan was still out of breath, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. In order to go home early, he jogged all the way back.
"I came out of the academy early today."
He went into the room and took a sip of herbal tea, and then said after his breathing stabilized.
"Mom, here are three taels of silver, please keep it."
Shen Yanqing handed the remaining silver to Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was startled and took it with trembling hands. She subconsciously took a bite and realized that it was real.
"Where did you get so much money?"
Although the third child turns in the money for copying books every month, can those hundreds of copper coins be the same as these silver coins?
The three taels of silver were as much as the Shen family's stall earned in a month. Could it be that he had done something illegal? Mrs. Zhang was thinking too much and her face turned pale.
Autumn is coming, he must not do anything stupid!
"Hurry up and return the money. Your brother and sister-in-law have made a lot of money in the past two months. You have saved enough to go to Beijing to take the exam next year. You don't need to worry."
Mrs. Zhang's face was a little impatient, and Shen Yanqing smiled helplessly.
"Mom, where did you want to go? This is the money I spent doing business with my classmates..."
After hearing her son's explanation, Mrs. Zhang smacked her lips and looked shocked.
"This book copying business is so profitable... Tsk tsk, it's better to study. The money you make in one day is as much as your brother's in a month."
Mrs. Zhang is full of pride, and the third child is filial and capable. Let's see who dares to accuse her of being partial in the future.
"This is Miaoya's idea. Mom saved the money to buy a house in the town. Erlang has reached the age of enlightenment. It is convenient to go to the town to study."
Shen Yanqing did not forget to give Jiang Miao credit.
"Miaoya is so smart. She has all kinds of money-making ideas. I don't know where she got so many ideas."
Ever since Jiang Miao suggested starting a business, the old Shen family's life has become visibly better, and they can now think about things that they didn't dare to think about before.
"Buy this house!" Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and made a unilateral decision to buy a property.
"Ask your elder brother to go to town and see if there is anything suitable."
The second room in the big house can earn three taels of silver every month. In the past few months, Mrs. Zhang has also saved more than ten taels. Adding the previous savings and the money Shen Yanqing paid to her father-in-law, she now has thirty taels in hand.
A big house in a good location in the town costs a hundred taels of silver, but a small house in a slightly more remote location can be bought for fifty taels. And the third child is right, it’s time for Erlang to study. In the past, the family did not have the conditions to let him follow the adults blindly. Damn, now that you have the ability, it’s better to go to the academy.
I can't compare to the third child. It would be better to become a cashier after I learn a few words. It's better than going to the dock to fight against the bag.
Mrs. Zhang has already seen the benefits of studying, so there is nothing she wouldn't like to do.
"Miaoya, what's wrong with you?" Shen Yanqing saw that Jiang Miao was weak and worried that she was sick.
Jiang Miao was still lying on the bed. She loved to sleep in in her previous life, but this was the first time she came to ancient times. She was busy all day like a spinning top. After finally taking a rest, she felt so weak that she just wanted to lie down.
"Ms. sir, you are back."
Jiang Miao straightened up, waved her hands, and lay back down again. She was so disappointed when she learned yesterday that Mr. Wei had accepted a disciple.
She originally thought she could change the plot of the original book, but she couldn't change it no matter how hard she tried, so Da Ru accepted Sun Hao as his disciple.
Autumn was approaching, and if Shen Yanqing still missed the provincial examination like in the book, wouldn't she have to stay in the Shen family for four more years, and the day of redemption was far away, and she felt that this day was getting more and more hopeless.
"are you sick?"
Jiang Miao was stunned when Shen Yanqing's jade-like warm hands were placed on her forehead.
"No, I'm just a little tired."
She ducked away slightly, and Shen Yanqing's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"Here's this hairpin for you." He took out the gold hairpin and stuffed it into Jiang Miao's hand.
As expected of something from Yulinxuan, the gold hairpin was made with fine workmanship, and a peach blossom was wrapped around the head of the hairpin. Jiang Miao fell in love with it at first sight.
In modern times, this is an antique.
"For me?"
"Well, do you like it?"
Shen Yanqing looked at her bright eyes, and the suffocation in his heart completely disappeared.
"I like it, thank you sir."
Jiang Miao smiled softly, and her black hair spread out underneath her body. Shen Yan cleared his throat and couldn't help clenching the fists in his sleeves.
"But where did you get the money?"
This golden hairpin must be worth twenty taels of silver, and I can earn half a year by copying books.
"Brother Xu and I opened a bookstore together to sell my reading notes."
As expected of the male protagonist, he is very capable in execution. He has opened a shop in just a few days and seems to be making a lot of money.
"Ms. sir, you are so awesome!"
Jiang Miao sat up and gave him a thumbs up.
Shen Yanqing's ears felt a little warm. Miao Ya always liked to praise him. Although he was a little embarrassed, his heart was full of joy.
"After a while, I can go to live in the town."
"Ah, mother agreed?"
Jiang Miao didn't expect that Shen Yanqing made money to move to the town. Everything she said was taken to heart, and Jiang Miao's heart swelled.
"accepted."
"oh."
Although her wish came true, she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. She originally went to the town to help him become a disciple, but they had worked hard for so long but failed to achieve their goal.
The more Shen Yanqing did, the heavier the sense of loss in her heart became.
"Aren't you happy?"
Jiang Miao's mood change was so obvious that Shen Yanqing pursed her lips and asked.
"No..." Jiang Miao smiled.
"It's a good thing that you can go to town. You can go home every day and recuperate before the exam."
Speaking of which, Jiang Miao gained some energy. She had hit a dead end before and relied too much on the original plot. Jiang Miao actually had some secret panic in her heart. She was afraid that she would be like the original owner, unable to escape the ending of cannon fodder.
But from the moment she passed through the book, the direction of the story had changed. Father Shen did not die, and the Shen family was getting better and better.
As long as Shen Yanqing wins the exam, they can enter Beijing next year, and Jiang Miao can get rid of her status as a child bride and become a free person.
After thinking about it, Jiang Miao suddenly felt that the sky was blue and the water was clear, and she felt energetic all over.
So what if he didn't become a disciple of Mr. Wei? The original male protagonist didn't become a disciple either. He still grew up to be the first assistant. Now that he doesn't have the burden of his family, he will only grow faster.
Moreover, Sun Hao was just a sinister person. In order to get the top spot in the provincial examination, he even bought test papers and cheated. He was secretly reported, and Sun Hao was also ruined. The reputations of Mr. Wei and Yuelin Academy were also affected.
"Ms. Xian Gong, take the provincial examination well and put down that Sun Hao. A cunning man with poor moral character cannot compare to Xian Gong. He must have used some unscrupulous means to attract Mr. Wei's attention."
Seeing her angry, Shen Yanqing felt a little funny, so he rubbed Jiang Miao's head.
"Be careful what you say."
It's not that he has never thought about these doubts, otherwise Sun Hao would not be able to stand out among a group of students with his talent, but there is no evidence, and he has no obsession with becoming a disciple.
