The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

The redemption money for this carefully trained Yangzhou skinny horse must be quite high.

It seems that the merchants in Yuanlu County are quite wealthy, not as poor as they usually appear.

Thinking about how a group of people scraped together 300 taels of silver and used it to buy a few prostitutes without blinking an eye, wow~~~ they hid it really well.

This time he generously sent a beautiful woman here, maybe Gui Ge'er is right, maybe he has something to ask of him.

If it is a courtesy gift, there is no need to be so generous. Just send a pretty girl who is a little girl will be fine.

Who needs such a beautiful girl with talents?

It would definitely cost a lot of money to train it.

Sun Shan's heart suddenly became alarmed and he had to be on guard.

Another typical beauty came out and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know. The maid only told me that someone had redeemed me and asked me to go along."

It would be a lie to say that I don’t know, but it’s hard to say these things. After I become the master’s man, I will slowly let out the news.

Seeing that the typical beauty who loves to show off didn't say anything, the other three beauties also chose to remain silent.

The fact that they were redeemed was not pleasant to say, and they did not want it to be mentioned.

Sun Shan didn't know whether they really didn't know or were just pretending. Since they didn't tell him, he let it go.

In fact, needless to say, if you ask around a little, you will know the market price and that it is very expensive, much more expensive than that of an ordinary maid.

Sun Shan was already on high alert at this moment. Whether he knew the price or not, he would only make one choice.

I've met the pretty girl and asked her questions, so there's really no need for a talent show.

Instead of spending time watching performances, you might as well read some farming books.

Sun Shan has never liked entertainment.

In my previous life, I didn’t watch many TV series or movies, let alone concerts. I always felt that being obsessed with these things was not only a waste of money but also a waste of time.

And we must be wary of these "nipple pleasures".

If you have this much time, you might as well go hiking, take a walk, and exercise in the suburbs.

Of course, unless the performer is a fat girl, everyone will definitely support her.

Speaking of little Fatty, Sun Shan thought that when his daughter was three years old, he would let her learn to read and write, and when she was five or six years old, he would gradually cultivate her in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When she was a little older, she asked Sister Yun to teach her needlework.

When you grow up a little bit, you should read more books on strategy to develop your brain.

Of course, you must learn more about mathematics, physics and chemistry, and use rational thinking to look at things and do things.

What I fear most is falling in love. If he gets cheated by a bad boy, where can he go to cry?

Sun Shan was a father for the first time and didn’t know how to be one, but like all fathers in the world, he hoped that his children would be promising, capable, and skilled, so that they could earn a living with their own hands no matter how difficult the future held.

Some people say that it is better to train children to command others to work than to train them to work.

Sun Shan didn't think so. He felt at ease only when he understood the situation himself.

After Sun Shan had some random thoughts, he waved his hand and said, "Butler Wang, take them away."

Butler Wang's heart was in turmoil, and he was very nervous. Seeing the master asking so many questions, he dared not say a word.

After hearing Sun Shan's order, he immediately replied, "Yes, sir."

At this time, the waist pain was gone and the disease had not recurred. With a quick and a jump, he brought the four beautiful girls, some thin and some plump, away.

When Gui Ge'er saw the maid leave, he immediately asked, "Brother Shan, what are you going to do with the maid this time? Are you going to keep them all?"

He is thin and weak, and falls down when touched. He is definitely not good at work.

Gui Ge'er was not willing to let them stay. Not only would it waste food, but it would also be difficult to order them to do things. It would not be worth it.

Sun Dingnan also asked, "Master, these girls are pretty, but useless. I don't think they can even carry water. And the qin and pipa they're learning, they sound like girls from wealthy families. Are they rich?"

If Sun Shan had not married the daughter of the He family, Sunjia Village would never have seen music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

When Yun Jie'er is in a good mood or bored, she will play the piano. The villagers in Sunjia Village would occasionally hear her and realize that this is how the girl from a wealthy family plays the piano.

So people think that these elegant entertainment activities are only understood by ladies of noble families.

Only wealthy families could afford to hire teachers to teach.

The four women in front of him all claimed that they had talents, and Sun Dingnan couldn't help but feel confused.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sun Shan simply said the four words "Yangzhou Skinny Horse".

Although Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingnan followed Sun Shan around, their activities were very simple and they didn't understand many things.

Since they are his confidants, it is okay to explain it to them in detail.

Sun Dingnan's eyes widened as he asked in surprise, "Master, are these maids given to you as concubines?"

I thought she was sent here to be a maid, but I didn't know she was sent here to warm my bed.

Emma, ​​the country bumpkin was inevitably surprised when he met her for the first time.

Gui Ge'er said anxiously, "Brother Shan, you absolutely cannot accept this. No one in our Sunjia Village takes concubines, and you must not set a bad example. Besides, taking a concubine is very expensive. Our family is already poor, and supporting another one will make us even poorer."

After a pause, he said as a matter of course: "If you want to raise concubines, you might as well raise a few more Su Xiazi. Adding more children will make the family prosperous. We can't raise those superfluous people. If we have to raise people, we should raise the most important ones."

In Gui Ge'er's heart, Sun Shan and his descendants are ranked first, and the others are optional.

Sun Dingnan had a different opinion from Gui Ge'er. He believed that it was normal for an official to have a concubine, and it was also normal for Sun Shan to take a concubine.

So he said, "Master, if you want to take a concubine, you can. I see many officials have concubines. I heard that County Magistrate Wang has three concubines at home. Your official position is higher than his, so you can take four back."

Gui Ge'er's eyes widened as he shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Brother Nan, you're not right. It's easy to take her in, but it's hard to raise her. We don't have much money in our pockets, how can we afford to raise her? Besides, it's better to use the money to raise Ci Gu Ding than to raise a concubine. Besides, Ci Gu Ding will need more money for his studies in the future."

A dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix; a mouse's son can dig holes.

Brother Shan is good at studying, and Xiao Xiaoshan must be even better at it. Plus, we have to support Xiao Xiaoshan's servant Xiao Xiaogui, which costs even more money.

If there are a few small hills and a few small osmanthus trees.

Emma, ​​I have to save money now so that I can continue my studies.

No, Brother Shan cannot keep someone who is pretty but useless, so he must not take a concubine.

Sun Dingnan felt that Gui Ge'er thought too much, and Gui Ge'er felt that Sun Dingnan thought too little.

Sun Shan, who was caught in the middle: ...

Should I kick them out and come back after the quarrel is over?

At this time, Butler Wang came in from outside and saw Sun Shan's "left and right protectors" arguing. He vaguely heard the news of taking a concubine, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He bravely asked, "Master, what should we do with those four maids?"

Sun Shan looked at the gift list and then at the maid's indenture.

She said calmly and gently, "Leave the gifts and return the four maids. Say your family is poor and can't afford them. If they were strong and capable of working, it would be fine, but these four are obviously incapable of work, so send them all back."
