Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Wang Yuyan looked up and down at the young man who saluted her, and suddenly smiled.

"Zhao Junyi, you are a sour scholar from the countryside, so stop pretending in front of me.

You should tell me how to divide the money we earn, so that we can have a rule in the future."

Her words were not polite at all. In fact, this was her usual speaking attitude.

In her previous life, she was the eldest daughter of the Yun family. Even though Yun Xi was found back later, she was still the daughter recognized by the Yun family.

He was used to being high and mighty and looked down on country people. Even though Zhao Junyi was a scholar now, he still had to depend on him because he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

She completely forgot that she is now just a real country girl.

A hint of anger flashed across Zhao Junyi's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

Now the two of them share the same fate, so it is not the time to turn against each other.

Zhao Junyi forced a smile and said, "Well, since my sister said so, I won't be so polite in the future. As long as my sister doesn't blame me for being rude, that's fine."

Wang Yuyan waved her hand impatiently. "Okay, we don't have so much red tape. Just tell us how to divide the money."

She only had a few taels of silver in her hand, and couldn't buy anything she wanted. She was eager to share the silver.

Zhao Junyi knew that this couple had to rely on her, so he was not stingy when it came to dividing the money. "For the sake of fairness, I think it should be 50-50."

Although Wang Yuyan felt that she had made an invaluable contribution, she also thought that the 50-50 split was fair.

After all, without Zhao Junyi, she wouldn't be able to make this money.

It's impossible for me to go to school by myself, that's not realistic. I'm just a country girl who has never been to school for a day. I can't even recognize my own name, so how can I make couplets?

If you really go there, you will definitely be caught as a monster.

Find someone else?

It was even more impossible. Firstly, I didn't know the scholar, and secondly, he was definitely not as reliable as Zhao Junyi. So Zhao Junyi was indispensable in this matter, and a fifty-fifty split was indeed fair.

Without much hesitation, she agreed.

Zhao Junyi gave her one hundred taels of silver he had received today. Wang Yuyan happily took it and asked, "When are we going to the teahouse again?"

Zhao Junyi knew what she meant. Going to the teahouse was just to make more money by leaving couplets.

He thought for a while and said, "We can't rush this. We need to give myself a few days to think about it. It will be more normal to leave a couplet after a few days."

"Okay, let's go in a few days."

Although Wang Yuyan wanted to earn more money immediately, she also felt that what he said made sense.

If you go too often, you will earn hundreds of taels of silver from the teahouse every day. I guess the teahouse will cancel this rule in a few days.

It would be better to go less often and spend more slowly, so that they don't have to worry about running out of money in the future.

She had a good idea, but she didn't know that someone had become a stumbling block on her way to making money.

After getting the money, she was happily thinking about how to spend it.

First of all, she had to buy herself some good clothes.

After coming to the city, although she didn't have to pay for her own food and accommodation, which were all provided by the Zhao family, the Zhao family didn't care about her other things.

The clothes she was wearing were bought by her at a clothing store after she came to the city. She bought two sets at that time, which was just enough for changing.

She chose the cheapest dress, which still cost her more than one or two taels of silver.

Now that she has over a hundred taels in her hand, she can buy a few better clothes.

Secondly, she also needs to buy herself two sets of jewelry. Now she doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry, no, strictly speaking, she doesn't have any jewelry, let alone any decent jewelry.

also……

Wang Yuyan was in her room thinking about how to spend the money, while Zhao Junyi, Zhao Pingxiu and Zhang were also discussing spending money.

"Mom and Dad, I think we should consider buying a yard now. This rented yard always gives us no sense of belonging." Zhao Junyi said.

He had wanted to buy a yard for a long time. Whenever his classmates wanted to come to his house, he was too embarrassed to bring them to this rented yard.

Not only is this yard not their own, but it is also very small, with only three rooms and a study, plus a kitchen and dining room.

Originally, the house was just big enough for their family: he had one room, his parents had one room, and his sister Zhao Ruyun, who had just turned 13, and her younger brother Zhao Junming had one room. The younger brother was less than seven years old, so he could live in one room with his sister.

But now there is one more person, Wang Yuyan. Ever since she came, she refused to live in the same room with his brothers and sisters. There was no other way, and he was finally satisfied after he vacated the study room for her.

Zhao Junyi felt that it was time to buy a slightly bigger yard.

In a year or so, my younger brother will be seven years old and can no longer share a room with his sister. If there are no extra rooms, he will have to share a room with me. This will definitely affect his studies, and there is no way to stop him.

Hearing him say that he wanted to buy a yard, Zhang's face was filled with worry, "Son, but yards in this city are very expensive. The cheapest one is probably two or three hundred taels. If you buy a slightly larger one, it will be even more expensive."

Zhao Junyi knew, of course, that the courtyard was not cheap. He asked about Zhang's current family belongings and found out that the family only had a hundred or so taels of silver.

“Why is there only this much?”

Zhao Junyi remembered that after he passed the examination, the Xue Mansion alone sent him two hundred taels of silver. Other wealthy families also sent more or less silver, which added up to about three or four hundred taels.

"I paid back more than 210 taels to the Yun family, gave 10 taels to Wang Daya, and gave Jun Yi 20 taels, asking him to treat us to tea or something..."

Zhao Pingxiu calculated that he had spent more than 240 taels. He asked, "There should be about 150 taels left. Why is there only 100 taels left?"

Zhang hesitated for a long time before saying, "Well, Jun Yi's uncle wants to build a house, and he borrowed fifty taels from me."

As she spoke, she shrank her neck guiltily. After all, he had not discussed this matter with his family and had just given the money without consulting them.

Zhao Pingxiu was furious. "Why would he need fifty taels to build a house?"

Zhang explained, "They are planning to build a big blue brick and tile house in the village. After all, they are the scholar's uncle now, so they said they want to build it better, so that Jun Yi can also look good."

Zhao Pingxiu snorted coldly, "We haven't even moved into a big brick and tile house yet, but they arranged one first."

Zhang stammered a few times, but didn't say anything else.

Zhao Junyi said, "Mom, forget it this time, but don't lend money to others casually next time."

Zhang nodded repeatedly in assurance.

Zhao Junyi paused, then took out the silver he had earned today, "Mom, this is one hundred taels, please keep it. Tomorrow you can go to the pawnshop to ask if there are any houses for sale. We can buy a two-story courtyard first. If there is a suitable one, pay the deposit first. Don't worry about the silver, I will bring it back in a few days."

After saying that, he recounted the whole story of how he got the money today.

Zhao Pingxiu and Zhang were overjoyed when they heard this and no longer worried about not having enough money to buy a house.

I want to buy a bigger yard.

But Zhao Junyi rejected it, "We don't need such a big house now, just enough for living. We need to save the money. If we can pass the imperial examination in three years, we will go to Chang'an. Then we can buy a big yard."
