Xu Yunjin was also very happy. The three of the Xu family said hello. Zhao Shuling was playing with Zhao Shuheng, who was younger than him. When he heard Xu Yunjin greeting him, he quickly ran towards Xu Yunjin with his short legs.
"Sister Ah Jin, did you bring any delicious fruit candies today? I told Brother Heng that there are more delicious candies than those in Fucheng, but he didn't believe me. Hum, I don't even want to play with him anymore."
Zhao Shuling pouted angrily, making Xu Yunjin laugh and cry. This child has always liked to come to her with Xu Yunzhao to ask for sweets since he was kidnapped with them.
"Brother Aling, don't eat too much sugar, otherwise your teeth will be eaten by bugs. My sister brought a more delicious cake today. How about we eat the cake later?"
Xu Yunjin pinched Zhao Shuling's face, and Zhao Shuling obediently led his brother aside.
On the other side, Zhao Ting was talking to Xu Wen and Xu Yunqing. He seemed to be testing their homework.
"Yes, although Awen did not continue to take the imperial examination, he still did not delay his studies after being a teacher for several years. If he works hard, he will definitely be admitted to the Juren examination next autumn. If he prepares well, it is not impossible to pass the Jinshi examination in the spring of the following year.
.
Yunqing is already a child at a young age. It looks like it will not be difficult to take the scholar examination in March next year. What are your plans for next year? Are you going to continue your studies, or find a school and continue to be a teacher?"
After Zhao Ting finished the exam for Xu Wen and his son, he first glanced at his younger brother, who had also been admitted as a scholar for many years. Looking at his studies, and then at you, Zhao Ting stared at Zhao Jin with such hatred that Zhao Jin took two steps back.
.
Zhao Ting glared at Zhao Jin and then looked at Xu Wen and asked him what his plans were for this year.
"Thanks to the support of my parents, brother and sister-in-law, my children have made a good living. In the past two years, I have been working hard and have saved some money. My family also hopes that I can continue to take the imperial examination this year. As for Yunqing, I want to send him to Fucheng."
Xuetang, next year my family wants to do some small business, so we don’t have to worry about money. The whole family supports me and Yun Qing to continue to obtain academic honors."
Xu Wen didn't want to continue taking the exam. Anan was old enough to get married and Yunmeng was old. It was time to see her.
Even though my son is very talented, he still needs to continue studying. There is also a little Xi'er at home who needs to be taken care of.
The family now has no land or house, and although there is plenty of money left, after this arrangement, the family's purse will be half empty. He cannot suck the blood of his family.
In the end, Xu Yunjin asked the father and son to go to school with peace of mind. She had many ways to make money, so she told them not to worry.
His family also advised him that if he passed the exam and became an official in the future, his family would be considered a new family, and his children would be able to find better families in the future, so he agreed.
"Since you have arrangements at home, it's good, but you still have to be careful when doing business. Merchants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. You still have to be measured.
After the New Year, I will ask Ah Jin to find a good school for Yunqing in Fucheng. After he is admitted as a scholar, he will go to the Fu School to study. As for you, after you find a good school after the New Year, you will find a place to live and wait for me every day.
After I go to Yamen, I will give you and Ah Jin tutoring lessons, and hope that next year you two will be admitted to the Juren Examination and participate in the Spring Festival."
Daqi's control over merchants is quite strict. Let alone ancient times, even businessmen who had to do business in previous lives could open the door of many government officials with half a pot of gold.
In order to restrain the collusion between government and businessmen, Daqi did not allow merchants to participate in the scientific examination, so Zhao Ting reminded Xu Wen, fearing that his family would not know the rules and become a merchant, which would be a big or small matter.
Both father and son are talented people. The emperor lacks such talents. He wants to give them to him, especially Xu Yunqing. If he has a master like his father to lead him, he must be a young champion, and he may even win a three-dollar prize.
No. 1.
Zhao Jin didn't expect that he would have to be tutored by his eldest brother, so he didn't want to, but he still agreed after seeing the happy look on Xu Wen's face.
Although the eldest brother's eyes were too fierce and he was a little scared, but whether he stretched his head or shrank his head with a knife, he might as well be more relaxed. Isn't it just the imperial examination? What's so scary?
"Yes, Brother Zhao, don't worry. I am sensible. The property is all in the name of my eldest brother's niece and Ajin. I will give the family a share every year. When I get married, I will take it away as a dowry. As for Brother Zhao, I will give me tutoring."
Homework, that would be too troublesome for you, so I shamelessly agreed, and I will repay Brother Zhao for his support in the future."
Seeing that several men were chatting happily, Youshi took them to the inner courtyard.
Xu Yunjin asked a maid to bring the gift box she had brought, and followed You to the inner courtyard.
"Aunt, aunt, and sister Shuqin are here to visit us for the first time, and the family has prepared some small gifts."
After Xu Yunjin sat down, he took the box containing pearls from the maid behind him, opened it and placed it in front of the You family.
"I got three pearls by chance at home before. These two white ones are suitable for my aunt and uncle to set in jewelry, and this pink one is suitable for sister Shuqin. These two cans of tea were fried by Dr. You Fang, who taught me sutures before.
Yes, the family tasted it and thought it tasted good. It tasted sweet, delicious, and refreshing. It was just right for Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhao to make two cups when they were busy with work. I hope my aunt and aunt won’t dislike it because of the small gift."
After Xu Yunjin finished speaking, the three of them picked up the pearls and looked at them carefully. Xu Yunjin took out two food boxes.
"Ah Ling, Ah Heng, come and try the newly made cakes from Sister Ah Jin's house."
In order to make this cake yesterday, several men in their family had their hands sore from beating eggs.
Later, she thought of buying a mixer, and then made some small cakes and some puffs.
"This pearl is really beautiful. There are no impurities at all. It will look great when set in a pearl flower."
Youshi took the box and saw the pearls inside. They were not big but beautiful and tight. She fell in love with them at first sight.
"Thank you sister Ajin. I like it very much. I have never seen such plump pink pearls."
Most of the pearls here are white, and even the pink ones have too many impurities. The good ones have become tributes, and some have been collected by the He Xiang family, so she has never seen such pure pink pearls.
"Sister Ah Jin, this cake is so delicious. What is the sweet white thing in it? I want to eat a lot of it."
Fatty Ah Heng exclaimed as he ate the cake. He had never eaten anything so delicious before. It was so delicious.
"This is butter. You can eat two if you like, but don't eat more. If you eat too much, it won't be digested and your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Shuqin also likes to eat these sweet pastries. The people in Sister Ajin’s family are so smart and can make so many delicious ones.
"Ah Jin, your craftsmanship is also very good. This sweet and soft cake is so delicious, and this one called puffs is also perfect for girls and women who like sweets."
Mr. Xu and Mr. You also praised Xu Yunjin's family after tasting one.
"These are things I have nothing to study at home. My aunt and uncle like to eat them. I will write the recipe to you when I leave later. You can try to make it yourself in the future. It is not difficult, but it may be more time-consuming and laborious."
Xu Yunjin saw that they all liked to eat it, so she wrote the recipe to them. She did not rely on this to make money. This chapter has been completed!
