Quick travel to save a miserable life
Chapter 137 The concubine 7
When Lin Hui made up her mind to take care of the Wang family's mother and son, she didn't know that Wang Xiuyuan was also thinking about things related to her.
Since Wang Xiuyuan obtained the title of scholar more than half a month ago, he has received many posts one after another. Some are from the original scholars in the county, and some are from wealthy households in the city.
These days, he goes out every day, either to that cultural gathering or to that family's banquet. He has almost no free time.
Reading time could only be reserved for the morning and evening every day. He did not dare to put down his books. Scholarship was only a temporary title. What he longed for in his heart was to be promoted to a scholar or even a Jinshi!
However, let alone becoming a Jinshi, even wanting to pass the Juren examination is a goal that he can only look up to at the moment.
The first difficulty facing us is money!
Scholars can still be acquired through hard study, but if you want to pass the examination, you must have the guidance of a famous scholar or famous teacher.
Otherwise, if no one can clarify some of the hurdles in the provincial examination, writing skills, and precautions in the examination, you will not be able to pass the examination even if you study hard for fifty years.
However, if you want to enter those famous academies and get guidance from famous teachers, in addition to the necessary talents, you must also have enough money and influential recommenders.
Wang Xiuyuan is confident in his talent and learning. After all, he almost passed the junior college entrance examination with his own hard work. If he hadn't been without the guidance of a famous teacher, he might have been able to get the position of head of the case.
But the situation before me right now is that I have no money!
Although Wang Xiuyuan had put on the best clothes when attending various gatherings these days, his cotton robe still looked a bit shabby among the silk shirts.
Not to mention that the cost of these gatherings is shared equally by everyone, at least half a tael of silver each time, and more than one tael.
Even if he goes to a banquet hosted by a wealthy businessman, he can't leave empty-handed. No matter how simple the gift he prepares, it still costs several hundred dollars. These days, the ten taels of silver he took from his mother are already stretched thin.
Even if my mother still has some money in her hand, she probably won’t have much left. What will happen in the future?
When Wang Xiuyuan returned home this evening, he was even more upset when he received the news that his wife's vision was blurred and she would not be able to do embroidery work in the near future.
The money that was not much in the first place could not withstand such spending, and the source of the family's money was temporarily cut off, which really made matters worse!
Wang Xiuyuan cheered up, calmed the anxious lady with a few words, and then returned to the study.
It was said to be a study room, but in fact it had long been his own bedroom. His bedding and clothes were all here. There was almost nothing left of the bedroom he shared with his wife.
Wang Xiuyuan held a book in his hand, but he couldn't read it in his heart. Instead, he was thinking about how to solve the problem of raising money at home.
While falling asleep, suddenly a corner of tassel appeared under the pillow.
Wang Xiuyuan pulled out the brocade sachet that he had hidden under his pillow.
He put the sachet in front of his eyes, looked at the complicated embroidery patterns on it, smelled the elegant fragrance, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Thanks to his wife being an embroiderer, he also knew a little bit about the embroidery market. A sachet like this would probably cost one tael of silver just for the fabric and embroidery.
In addition, the spices are stuffed inside, and the spices are not too cheap. Just smelling the fragrance, you know that the stuff inside is worth a lot, at least a few hundred yuan. In other words, this small fragrance Bag, worth at least one tael and a half silver!
But just such a sachet worth one and a half silver was thrown away carelessly. Thinking of the gorgeously dressed woman he saw when he went to Dong's house for a banquet a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel disturbed.
To be fair, if you just look at the appearance of that woman, she is just average-looking at most. But because of her gorgeous clothes, outstanding appearance, and the charming manner in her every move, she feels that she is particularly attractive.
He saw her drop the sachet in the corridor and stopped her to return it. Unexpectedly, she gave the sachet to him instead and turned back to him with a smile. Wang Xiuyuan felt that under that smile, there was so much flattery that it was impossible to look away. .
Everyone had gone away, but Wang Xiuyuan hadn't recovered yet. Zhang Xiucai, who was traveling with him, couldn't help but joke when he saw Wang Xiuyuan's dazed look.
"Why, Xiuyuan has also fallen in love with this young lady from the Dong family. I heard that she has returned home after the divorce. We have been seeing each other recently. She said that she is looking for a scholar with good looks and is willing to marry. It's a pity that I have a mediocre appearance and can't get married. Miss Dong's eyes, otherwise even if the family is poor, I still want to pocket this beauty and her large dowry!" Zhang Xiucai said with regret.
At that time, Zhang Xiucai was just making casual remarks, but Wang Xiuyuan looked incomprehensible, and there was no smile on his face. Instead, he quietly hid the sachet in his sleeve and put it under his pillow after returning home.
At that time, Wang Xiuyuan was just amazed by the woman's charm, and he couldn't help but take the sachet home with his excitement. Now, he couldn't help but start thinking about what Zhang Xiucai said that day.
The Dong family is one of the largest families in the county. They have been in business for many years, have numerous industries, rich family assets, and extensive connections.
Although the master of the Dong family also has several concubines in his family, the sons and daughters under his knees are all the children of his legitimate wife.
The eldest son of the Dong family, who failed to go to school, took care of the family property. At the banquet that day, it was the eldest son of the Dong family who came out to entertain the guests, and everyone had greeted each other and greeted each other.
The daughter is Miss Dong whom I met that day. She is the sibling of the eldest young master of the Dong family. I heard that she married into a wealthy family in Linxian County a few years ago. For some reason, she returned home this spring and has not remarried yet.
Wang Xiuyuan had heard before that Miss Dong was favored at home and had a generous dowry. However, at that time, he was just a white man and his family was poor. He was in no way qualified to think of someone like Miss Dong!
But things are different now. I am not old now and I have already gained the reputation of being a scholar. Miss Dong is also a divorced person. She is not as good as before when I stayed in a boudoir. If I work hard, I might not be able to embrace the beauty.
However, his wife is a problem. She has been quite obedient over the years, and she has children by her side. After a while, he really can't find a suitable reason to send her away.
Wang Xiuyuan began to think about how to kick away Lin Huiniang, a yellow-faced woman, so that he could marry another beautiful woman!
Lin Hui was secretly turning on the stove for Yao Niang.
The Wang family eats normally. There was a meat dish on the dinner table in the evening, which Mrs. Wang Liu looked at with great interest. Most of it went into the mouths of the Wang family and his son.
From time to time, Lin Huineng found opportunities to enter the space to have a tooth ceremony, but she was worried that Yao Niang's little child was too thin, so she would give Yao Niang extra food after closing the door at night.
It's not a good thing, it's just a boiled egg. Lin Hui took it from the space.
There are plenty of rice, noodles, and eggs at home, and Mrs. Wang Liu will count them every day, so Lin Hui cannot use them easily.
Yao Niang nibbled on the eggs in small bites and narrowed her eyes happily. She also knew that eggs were good things.
Lin Hui waited for her to finish eating and then gave her water to rinse her mouth to avoid any smell.
Lin Hui had put the egg shells away long ago to avoid exposing her whereabouts.
