During this period, Mrs. Li had been worried about Ji Jiuye's travel expenses and living expenses when he went to the provincial capital to take the exam, and was already prepared to shamelessly find someone to borrow money.
Ji Jiuye was well-educated and was the first in the county, government and hospital examinations. Her future was limitless. If she had the nerve to borrow money, she would definitely be able to borrow it.
Ke Ji's family has a strong sense of self-esteem. How could Ms. Li be willing to ask someone to borrow money if she wasn't forced to do so
Now that Yun Xi has given her so much money, it can be said that it has relieved Li's pressure and worries.
Fifty taels of silver, if you save some money, should be enough for Ji Jiuye's exam. As for the house, Li thinks it can be lived in for the time being.
If you hold on a little longer, as long as Ji Jiuye passes the provincial examination, he will be promoted, and the imperial court will issue rewards at that time.
The richness of the reward is related to the ranking in the imperial examination, but as long as you pass the exam, the reward you get is to build a house in their village, which is not a big problem.
"Mom, feel free to use this money to build a house. Leave the expenses for my husband's exam to me. Trust me, when the time comes, I will definitely not let my husband have no money to take the exam."
She just gave Li fifty taels of silver, and this was her expression. Yun Xi didn't know what would happen if Li knew that she still had a lot of silver in her hand.
Therefore, she did not tell Mrs. Li that she still had money in her hands.
Mrs. Li feels that only the money in her hands is the most reliable. Therefore, she really doesn't want to spend so much money to build a new house now.
However, he couldn't stand Yun Xi's persistence.
In desperation, Mrs. Li had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Yun Xi originally wanted to spend money to buy a homestead, but Mrs. Li was reluctant to spend the money, so she planned to build a 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 house belongs to that family by default. Whether it is opening a vegetable garden or laying a foundation, the villagers will not say anything.
Yun Xi went over to take a look at the Feng Shui and felt that the Feng Shui of that wasteland was pretty good. After playing around with it for a while, it was definitely a Feng Shui treasure, so she agreed to Li's proposal.
Although the wasteland belongs to the Ji family by default, if you want to build a house, you still have to tell the village chief.
If you want something from someone, you must not go empty-handed. You must prepare a gift no matter what, so Yun Xi did not rush to ask Li to find the village chief.
After Ji Jiuye came back, he learned that his family was going to build a house. He just raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised at Yun Xi's ability to make money. Other than that, he didn't have any objections.
Yun Xi earned the money anyway, so she can spend it however she wants.
In the evening, as soon as it got dark, Ji Jiuye closed his book and went to Yun Xi's house. With the experience last night, he was very familiar with the road tonight and looked at ease.
Hearing the noise, Yun Xi knew it was him, picked up the brush and looked up.
Ji Jiuye looked at the pen in her hand, his eyes moved, and suddenly he remembered the words she had left for him before.
That was the first time he saw her handwriting, and it was only then that he realized how good her handwriting was.
The pen moves like a dragon and is as powerful as a rainbow. It has both strength and spirit. It is difficult to tell that it was written by a woman.
The teachers and classmates in the academy all praised his calligraphy, but he felt that compared with her, he was still slightly inferior.
"Ms. sir, come here."
Just when he was lost in thought, her voice sounded in his ears. Ji Jiuye quickly came back to his senses and saw her waving to him.
Ji Jiuye coughed and walked over.
"What's the matter?"
"Master, take a look, do you like it?"
Yun Xi handed over a piece of rice paper.
Ji Jiuye took it and saw a dozen lifelike clothes drawn on the rice paper. The clothes were similar in color but different in style. Each one was a style he had never seen before. They were gorgeous and domineering, and very... nice.
"This is?"
Yun Xi put down the pen in her hand and said, "I bought two pieces of cloth and plan to make some clothes for my husband."
It turned out that she wanted to make clothes for him again. Ji Jiuye suddenly felt sweet in his heart.
The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and he said, "Well, the clothes are very nice, I like them."
"Oh," Yun Xi nodded and said, "Then I will do it according to the pattern above."
Ji Jiuye responded, paused, and said, "I didn't know that Madam is not only good at handwriting, but also has such great painting skills."
Ji Jiuye bets that if he sells this painting, which is all about clothes, it will definitely attract high prices.
He suddenly understood why she was so good at making money.
Take the clothing styles in the paintings as an example. She could make a lot of money just by painting a sample of clothing for any of the ready-to-wear shops.
What a treasure woman. Ji Jiuye felt that his father had really helped him find the treasure.
That night, Yun Xi started cutting and sewing clothes, planning to stay up all night to make one so that Ji Jiuye could wear it the next day.
All of his coats were old, washed and turned white, and some were even patched.
There were many wealthy young men in the academy, who wore gold and silver every day. Ji Jiuye had been in such an environment for a long time, so he must have been laughed at a lot.
However, tonight, this night, is destined to not make it through.
When Yun Xi took out the fabric and prepared to cut it, Ji Jiuye walked over and boldly took her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Xi turned her head and looked at him suspiciously.
Ji Jiuye lowered his eyelids and his eyes were dark, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed, and we'll do the clothes another day."
Yun Xi:…
"You 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, he felt a smooth and silky touch, and Ji Jiuye was stunned.
This is silk
She actually bought silk to make clothes for him
Ji Jiuye's heart suddenly stirred up huge waves. He never expected that she would actually buy silk.
The worst silk costs more than ten taels of silver per piece, and the good ones cost about seventy or eighty taels. Even if he doesn't know the goods, he knows that this piece of silk is absolutely extraordinary.
Ji Jiuye put away the complications in his heart, put the silk into the cabinet, and closed the cabinet door.
"Just make me two sets. I'll use the remaining materials to make you some new clothes."
Yun Xi did not respond to this.
When the original owner got married, her parents' family prepared several sets of new clothes for her. She had something to wear, so she didn't want to waste time making them.
the next day.
When Ji Jiuye got up, Yun Xi also got up.
She originally 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 Qinggong, but walked slowly on the road.
Hougou Village is not far from the town at all to Yun Xi, but for ordinary people, it is not close at all.
Especially towards students, it is really unfriendly.
