An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"If the Marquis and the Prince don't show some attitude, I can't stay in this house any longer! Anyway, the Prince won't stay in my room, so I can just go back to my parents' house and hide away!"

After saying this, Mrs. Peng stood up, patted her butt and wanted to leave.

Before leaving, she coldly said, "At Wenhua Academy, Brother Fu hasn't paid his tuition yet. Don't blame me for not reminding him."

As she walked out the door, she heard the sound of teacups and teacups shattering behind her, followed by the old marquis's scolding. Nanny and Liuli trembled with fear and hurried to catch up with Peng.

Peng's face darkened as she sneered, "Grandfather is the only one who thinks highly of them. I think they have bad intentions and cannot be relied upon."

During this period, Qingshan Villa caused quite a stir.

There were quite a lot of people looking for Jing Chunxi and Pu Ge'er, and they were all children from the village.

"Brother Jing, isn't it a bad idea to let Sister Xi choose by herself? The child is only nine years old." Jing Qiurong was still a little worried.

Jing Yi: "I don't think the girl treats the young lady as a child. Although she is young, she is very thoughtful and knows how to act. Isn't that the reason you let her go the last few times?"

Jing Qiurong: "But..."

At this moment she was a little speechless and didn't know how to explain her previous behavior.

Jing Qiurong was still worried: "Brother Jing will take care of everything else, but the selection of candidates..."

She didn't say that she was worried about being cheated. After all, she was just blind and had to marry Chu Xuan because she met the wrong person.

Jing Yi was helpless: "The girl knows everything, but she is a little too indulgent towards the young lady. Besides, there is nothing to be afraid of. Don't you and I help her check it out?"

For no reason, whenever there was something important happening in the manor, Jing Yi would always be consulted. Even if he only gave a small suggestion, it would make Jing Qiurong feel at ease.

But this time, it was because Li Xiaoman became Jing Chunxi's person.

Because the granary in the space was full, Jing Chunxi suggested opening a grain store in the capital and Baishui Town respectively, and sent Wutou out to be apprentices.

As a result, the minds of the older children in the village, especially those who could not sit still in the government school, became active and their thoughts had long flown outside.

They all believed that being noticed by their aunt or the young lady and being able to go out was a good way out.

They didn't dare to approach their aunt directly. Her aunt was always strict with them and not everyone could approach her. As for Jing Chunxi, she was a girl after all, so not everyone dared to approach her directly.

But Pu Ge'er is different. He is young and has a soft personality. Even though he knows that Pu Ge has no say in things, he still likes to ask him questions, hoping to get something useful out of him.

"Mother, does the grain shop still need anyone? I want to be the accountant again!"

While eating, Pu Ge'er suddenly said this, which scared Jing Chunxi.

"Jing Congxin? Isn't he the one with the highest score?"

The one who was secretly called Skinny Monkey was very thin but very smart and had good martial arts skills. He was from Aunt Xiaolian's family, and Jing Chunxi remembered him very clearly.

Although Jing Qiurong had known that some of the children had such ideas, she was still very angry and almost threw down her chopsticks. "What nonsense! Do they all think that it's so easy to get by out there? I'll talk to the teacher tomorrow. It seems that they haven't planted enough land and have too much free time! Let them go to the mountains to open up wasteland during their day off."

I didn't expect that a child with such good grades would have such thoughts. Jing Chunxi was not anxious, but felt that there might be a reason for it, so he asked Pu Ge'er: "What does Jing Congxin think?"

After eating two more pieces of meat, Pu Ge'er put down his chopsticks with a somewhat relaxed expression and said, "He studies very hard, but sometimes he always says that they are different from me, and he is also worried that he can't take the imperial examination."

Jing Chunxi and Jing Qiurong looked at each other and immediately understood.

Yes, the laws of the Daqing Dynasty did not define children who did not have to follow their elders into exile as criminals, nor did they have any clauses prohibiting them from taking the imperial examinations.

Although the children were repeatedly encouraged to read and learn to write, they themselves understood that all the elders in the family were exiled criminals. Even if they passed the exam, if no one strongly recommended them, there would be very few who could enter the officialdom.

It's hard to say, the children wouldn't hear some news from the adults' gossip. Jing Congxin must have heard something about it, so he feels that the future is bleak.

Jing Chunxi was still a little curious. After all, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, studying was the best path forward. Even if one couldn't become an official, one could still become a teacher, an accountant, or a manager when they grew up, and thus support their family. But why did Jing Congxin want to make money so early?

Obviously, I have enough food and clothing now, so I can study more and think about my career path in a few years.
