Chapter 842 Back to the Emperor's Youth 23
During this time, Mrs. Li had been worrying about Ji Jiuye's travel expenses and living expenses when he went to the provincial capital to take the exam, and he was ready to find someone to borrow money with a cheeky face.
Ji Jiuye has a good academic background. She is the leader of the county exam, the prefectural exam, and the hospital exam. She has an unlimited future. If she has the cheek to borrow money, she will definitely be able to borrow it.
Keji's family has strong self-esteem. If it wasn't forced, how could Mrs Li be willing to ask someone to borrow money?
Now that Yunxi has given her so much money, it can be said that it has relieved Li's pressure and troubles.
50 taels of silver, if you save some money, the Ji Jiuye exam should be almost enough. As for the house, Mr. Li feels that he can live in it for the time being.
Persevere a little longer, as long as Ji Jiuye passes the township examination, he will be recruited, and the imperial court will issue a reward at that time.
The richness of the rewards is related to the ranking of the imperial examinations, but as long as you are in the middle of the exam, the reward you get will build a house in their village, which is not a big problem.
"Mother, you can safely use this money to build a house, and give me the fee for the examination. Trust me, I will definitely not let the husband have no money to take the examination."
only gave Li Shi 50 taels of silver. That's how she looked. Yun Xi didn't know what would happen if Li Shi knew that she still had a lot of silver in her hand.
So, she didn't tell Li that she still had money in her hand.
Li felt that only the money she had in her hands was the most reliable, so she really did not want to spend so much money on building a new house now.
However, Yun Xi couldn't stand her persistence.
In desperation, Mrs. Li nodded in response.
Yunxi originally wanted to spend money to buy a homestead, but Li was reluctant to spend that money, so he planned to build the new house on a piece of wasteland behind the old house.
The allocation of wasteland in the countryside is not particularly strict. Generally speaking, the wasteland near a home is taken by default. Whether it is to open a vegetable garden or lay a foundation, the villagers will not say anything.
Yunxi went over to take a look at the feng shui, and felt that the feng shui of the wasteland was not bad. After a little fiddling, it must be a treasure of feng shui, so he agreed with Li's proposal.
Although the wasteland is by default owned by the Ji family, if you want to build a house, you still need to tell the village chief.
If you have a request from others, you must not go empty-handed. No matter what, you have to prepare a gift. Yun Xi did not rush to ask Li to find the village chief.
When Ji Jiuye came back, he learned about the family's plans to build a house. He just raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, surprised by Yunxi's ability to make money, other than that, he had no opinion.
Anyway, the money is also earned by Yun Xi, she wants to spend it, follow her.
In the evening, as soon as it got dark, Ji Jiuye closed the book and went to Yunxi's house. With the experience of last night, he was very familiar with the road tonight, and his expression was at ease.
Hearing the sound, Yun Xi knew it was him, picked up the brush and looked up.
Ji Jiuye looked at the pen in her hand, her eyes moved, and she suddenly remembered the words she had left for him earlier.
That was the first time he saw her handwriting, and it was at that time that he knew how good her handwriting was.
The pen is like a dragon, imposing like a rainbow, with both character and spirit, it is difficult to see that it is actually from the hands of a woman.
The master and classmates of the academy all praised his good handwriting, but he felt that compared with her, he was still slightly inferior.
"Master, come here."
Just when he was in a trance, her voice rang in his ear, Ji Jiuye quickly recovered, and saw her beckoning to him.
Ji Jiuye coughed, raised his legs and walked over.
"What's the matter?"
"Look at me, do you like it?"
Yunxi handed over a piece of rice paper.
Ji Jiuye took it and saw more than a dozen lifelike clothes painted on the rice paper. The clothes were similar in color, but the styles were different. Each one was a style he had never seen before, gorgeous and domineering. nice.
"This is?"
Yunxi put down the pen in her hand and said, "I bought two pieces of cloth, and I plan to make some clothes for the husband."
It turned out to be, he had to make clothes for him again, and Ji Jiuye suddenly felt sweet in his heart.
The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and said, "Well, the clothes are beautiful, I like them."
"Oh," Yun Xi nodded and said, "Then I will follow the pattern above."
Ji Jiuye responded, paused, and said, "I don't know, the lady is not only good in handwriting, but also in painting skills."
This painting is full of clothes, Ji Jiuye bet that if he sells it, it will definitely attract high prices.
He suddenly understood why she was so good at making money.
Take the styles of clothes on the paintings as an example, she can make a lot of money by painting a sample of clothes for those garment shops.
She is really a treasured woman, Ji Jiuye felt that his father really helped him find treasure.
That night, Yunxi began to cut and sew clothes, planning to make one overnight so that Ji Jiuye could wear it the next day.
His coats are all old, white with washing, and some are even patched.
There are many rich young masters in the academy, who wear gold and silver every day. Ji Jiuye must have been laughed at for a long time in such an environment.
Of course, this night is doomed to fail.
When Yunxi took out the fabric to cut, Ji Jiuye walked over and pulled her wrist boldly.
"What's up?"
Yunxi turned her head and looked at him suspiciously.
Ji Jiuye drooped his eyelids, his eyes darkened, "It's getting late, it's time to sleep, and the clothes will be done another day."
Yunxi: …
"Go to sleep, I'm not sleepy..."
Before he finished speaking, the cloth in his hand was forcefully taken away by Ji Jiuye. When the cloth was in his hand, there was a smooth silky touch, and Ji Jiuye was stunned.
This is silk?
She actually bought silk to make clothes for him?
Ji Jiuye's heart suddenly set off a huge wave, and she never thought that she actually bought silk.
The worst kind of silk costs a dozen taels of silver a piece, and a good piece of silk costs about seventy or eighty taels. Even if he doesn’t know the goods, he knows that it’s an extraordinary piece.
Ji Jiuye put away the complexities in his heart, put the silk in the cabinet, and closed the cabinet door.
"Just make two sets for me. With the rest of the material, I'll make you some new clothes."
Yun Xi did not respond to this.
When the original owner got married, her parents prepared several sets of new clothes for her, so she didn't want to waste time doing it.
the next day.
When Ji Jiuye got up, Yun Xi also got up.
She wanted to go to town with Ji Jiuye, but she knew that Ji Jiuye would definitely not agree, so she didn't say anything.
After Ji Jiuye left, she slowly went out. Because it was still early, she was not in a hurry, so she did not use light work, but walked slowly on the road.
Hougou Village is not far from the town to Yunxi at all, but to ordinary people, it is really not that close.
Especially to the students, it's really unfriendly.
