Eating big melon is so refreshing

Fat Luo was shocked. When did Lin Shaoxuan buy a house in town?

Xiao Chunya said, "Didn't the Chen and Feng families move away? They quietly asked for the money to build the house back, and I sold the empty house right away, leaving two small houses on purpose."

Lin Shaoxuan's eyes lit up. He followed the fat man here today just to ask how to buy the empty house.

Buy a house and rent a field for free, where can you find such a good thing? With two acres of sandy land, his mother no longer needs to wash clothes for others, and he can make money by drawing talismans on weekdays.

The most important thing is that his destiny has been rewritten in this life. He is confident that he can live beyond the age of 16, and he can finally jump out of this cage!

"I'll take you to see the house. It's right next to the fat boy's house. It will be easier for you to visit him in the future." Xiao Chunya called the fat boy, and Master Mingyue insisted on going over to join in the fun.

Xiao Qiulin curled her lips. Is it that serious? If my sister liked Lin Shaoxuan, would she wait until now?

The small house was very small. Apart from the three side rooms, there was only one ear room. The yard was even smaller, with barely enough space to park a carriage.

Lin Shaoxuan was very satisfied. Such a house only cost 20 taels of silver, which was obviously a preferential price.

There are three houses. His grandmother, mother and himself all have separate rooms. There is an annex room for storing firewood, and a small shed can be used as a kitchen. He currently does not have a carriage, and the open space in the front yard can be used to raise a flock of chickens and grow some vegetables.

"You can choose to pay in installments. If you choose one year, you can pay 1 tael and 7 cents of silver per month. If you choose two years, you can pay 9 cents of silver per month."

"I choose to pay it in installments over two years. The county magistrate and the government will give me a total of 20 taels of silver. I will take most of it to study at the academy in the provincial capital to prepare for the provincial examination next August."

The government gave each scholar 10 taels of silver to build a scholar's archway, and the county magistrate subsidized another 10 taels of silver as funding, so each scholar received 20 taels of silver.

For example, Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin only spent sixteen taels of silver to build the archway, while Luo Xiaopang spent twelve taels of silver to build the archway in his hometown.

Lin Shaoxuan has never returned to his so-called hometown since his grandfather fled here, so he doesn't need to build a memorial archway. The money he saves can be used for studying.

"Go to the provincial capital to study?" Xiao Chunya was panicking. No way. She looked at Master Mingyue and asked dryly, "With your grades, do you need to go to the provincial capital to study?"

Master Mingyue nodded, his eyes firm and clear, and he slowly said: "Learning never ends. Although I ranked first in the college examination, it is hard to say how high I will rank in the provincial examination, not to mention that I will not be able to make the list in the metropolitan examination. Don't you want to go?"

Xiao Chunya bit her lip, feeling very conflicted. "I..." The words "I want to be a salted fish" were lingering on her tongue, but she couldn't say them.

Xiao Qiulin appeared and looked at her sister Xiao Chunya with a face full of resentment, with a little grievance in her voice, "Fat sister, when you were three years old, you swore to me that you would never leave me for the rest of your life. Now you want to accompany me to the academy to study, so you want to be a deserter? In fact, I don't really want to be an official. If you don't accompany me to study, I won't take the imperial examination."

Xiao Chunya was almost about to vomit blood. Who would take the words of a three-year-old seriously? The worst thing was that his younger brother had an excellent memory. Not to mention he was three years old, he probably could even remember what he said when he was one year old.

Xiao Qiulin was extremely talented. If she gave up the imperial examination because of her, the Zhao family would definitely not let her off easily. Not to mention that the elders of the Zhao family had always placed high hopes on Xiao Qiulin, the people in this small town usually cared for the siblings. If they knew that Xiao Qiulin gave up his future because she refused to accompany him to study, they would spit on her to death. How could she live like this?

Xiao Chunya took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She held Xiao Qiulin's hand and said earnestly, "Brother, don't be angry. I promise you that I will accompany you to the academy and will not be a deserter again."

Xiao Qiulin blinked, and the resentment on his face eased a little: "Sister, you can't lie to me." He wanted to reveal the news to his grandfather and the others. He saw through Fat Sister's idea of ​​being a nobody at a glance.

It's the fat sister who wants to be an official, it's the fat sister who wants to do infrastructure, and it's the fat sister who doesn't want to study. Xiao Qiulin is not a hardworking person. Why should he work hard day and night to read those imperial examination articles while the fat sister can just sit there and do nothing?

We share the same difficulties. Even if Fat Sister doesn't need to take the imperial examination, she should at least accompany him to study in the academy. Don't think about being free and easy alone!

Master Mingyue said leisurely, "I'm going to take GunGun to the academy. If you don't go, you won't be able to pet the pandas. GunGun's memory is not very good. I won't recognize you if I haven't seen you for half a year."

"Going to the academy is not as free and easy as going to the county school. You have to wash your own clothes, cook your own meals, and boil your own hot water." The more Xiao Chunya scolded, the uglier her expression became. "I can't wash clothes clean, let alone mend them. I can boil hot water, but I get diarrhea after eating the food I cooked. You are talking without any pain in your back!"

Master Mingyue stroked his forehead and sighed, "Have you forgotten the existence of the servant?"

"My identity is my brother's servant, otherwise why would the academy let in such a strange person?" Xiao Chunya looked at me with a look of "what's wrong with you?" How could I not understand such a simple truth?

Xiao Qiulin looked strange. "Fat sister, you are a scholar. As long as you pass the exam, you are qualified to enter the academy to study. Even if you fail the exam, there are still borrowed students. How could you think of becoming a servant? You can burn a hole in the pot when you boil water, and you can wash clothes into rags. The food you cook is a dark dish..."

The consequence of telling the truth was that Xiao Qiulin was pressed to the ground and rubbed by the fat sister. She screamed and cried, saying that the fat sister had no martial ethics!

"Huh? He can still run away?" Xiao Chunya had a complicated expression on her face when she saw her brother struggling to escape. This was the first time in all these years that her brother had run away!

Young Master Mingyue was adding fuel to the fire with only one purpose in mind: to get Xiao Chunya to eat more, because she was too thin and couldn't win a fight.

Later, Jiang was furious when she found out. Her daughter had finally gotten rid of all the fat, but after being brainwashed by Master Mingyue, she started to become obese again.

What made Jiang sad was that the father and son next to her both thought that it was better for their daughter to be fatter, because being fat would make her feel safer, give her strength in a fight, and make it harder for others to kidnap her.

In the end, it was the sister-in-law who comforted Jiang, saying that the thousand-year catastrophe was coming, and beauty was thrown aside, saving life was the most important thing. And looking at Master Mingyue's posture, who would dare to compete with him?
