Chapter 243 Mu Zhengyi was expelled from the academy
Lu Yi hugged his sweet-smelling wife and kissed her hair.
After the passion subsided, he lovingly caressed her nose, cheeks, and red lips.
"This house..." Mu Siyu turned sideways and looked at the handsome man in front of her. "Don't you explain?"
"This is our house." Lu Yi said: "Sometimes it's too late and you can't leave the city, so you can stay here for a while, so as not to have to live in an inn."
"Isn't it very expensive?" Although Hubei City is not as good as Suzhou City, a large house with so many entrances and exits cannot be bought without a few hundred taels of silver.
In addition to buying a house, you also need to buy things for the garden, and money is needed for everything.
The master's monthly silver is not much, and he cannot afford such a good house even if he works for decades, so the source of this money is unknown.
"Don't worry, I can make money."
As for how to earn money, there is no need to tell her, lest she have to worry again.
Mu Siyu pressed against his chest: "No matter what you do, you must remember one thing. You must protect yourself. You are the backbone of our family and cannot fall."
"I promise you." Lu Yi kissed her forehead.
He will not fall.
No matter what happens, he will come back to her alive.
The new house is called Lu Yuan. The house is not small and needs someone to look after and clean it.
Originally there were no servants, but the next day Gao Yamen sent two servants, saying they were wedding gifts for them.
"Now that we have a house in the city, and the half-year period we agreed with Master Wen has come, why not let Shao Yu and Brother Han move to a new house, and then take them to the village to meet Xiao Yun'er and the others while they are resting?
." Mu Siyu discussed with Lu Yi.
"Can."
After sending Lu Yi to the Yamen, Mu Siyu went to the market and bought various flower seeds, planning to plant various flowers in the garden.
Then she renovated the interior of the house. For example, there was an area that was very empty, and she planned to make it a small play area for children to play.
The latrine and kitchen at home need to be remodeled. For Mu Siyu, besides the bedroom, the latrine and kitchen are the most used areas every day, so these places are very important.
However, these are big projects that cannot be completed overnight. First plan slowly, and then modify them little by little. Just like ants moving, they can always be made to look like she likes.
No matter what era, a house is a favorite thing. It not only represents home, but also represents a sense of security.
"Sister-in-law Yi, was that Aunt Jiang just now?" Lu Zhenzhen, who was accompanying Mu Siyu out shopping, said as she tugged on Mu Siyu's sleeve.
"Where?" Mu Siyu looked in the direction she pointed: "No one is there, are you wrong?"
"That's right, she has a lot of bad things going on at home, so she shouldn't be in the mood to hang out." Lu Zhenzhen didn't see clearly either, so he just thought he was wrong.
Ms. Jiang leaned against the wall and waited until Mu Siyu and Lu Zhenzhen were far away before getting out. She looked around furtively, then ran away grabbing a purse.
Running to a secluded alley, she opened her purse and saw that there was only one or two pieces of silver, and the rest were copper coins.
"Bah, you dress like a real person, but you only have this little money." Ms. Jiang was disappointed. "No, I have to find another scapegoat."
It would be great if I could meet that fat man from last time. He is like a walking treasury, and you can exchange a lot of money for just one piece.
"Have you heard? There was a scholar who was thrown out of Chunfeng Tower. He said he wanted to take possession of their girl because he had no money. He was beaten so badly!"
"Where is Chunfeng Tower? That's where rich men go. A third-class girl there costs a hundred cents to touch her little hand, five hundred cents to drink a glass of wine, two taels of silver to kiss her lips, and spend the night...
…Not to mention those with high status, such as those with flower names, the twelve courtesans in the building, that’s even more incredible.”
Jiang just happened to hear the conversation of several men, and her mind flashed: "Yes, if we talk about rich people, that must be where rich people gather."
Jiang rushed to Chunfeng Tower.
Bang! One person was thrown out.
"Ouch, you're looking for death..." Mrs. Jiang was about to curse when she saw the young man's appearance on the ground and exclaimed in surprise: "Yi'er!"
Although the young man was beaten so badly that his nose and face were bruised and his original appearance could not be seen, Jiang still recognized him at a glance.
Mu Zhengyi.
Mu Zhengyi didn't expect that Jiang would see his embarrassed appearance and covered his face: "You have the wrong person."
He had two teeth knocked out and his speech was leaky.
Jiang grabbed him and said, "You can't lie to me. Mu Zhengyi, you stinky boy, I thought you had gone back to the academy to study, but I didn't expect you to come to a place like this again. Are you worthy of the training we paid? What's wrong with you?"
Don’t argue with me!”
"Studying?" Duke Gui, who threw Mu Zhengyi out, laughed and said, "He was kicked out of the academy, and he didn't even have a place in the scientific examination. Why is he still dreaming of becoming an official in the scientific examination?"
"How is that possible?" Ms. Jiang's body shook. "Why? Why were you kicked out?"
"Why? Why do you think it is?" Seeing more and more people pointing fingers, Mu Zhengyi lost all dignity and stopped pretending. "Do you think you can study hard after paying Shu Xiu? Do you know
Do you know what others eat and what they wear? What do I eat and wear? I am looked down upon and bullied by others every day in the academy..."
"You...you went to study, not to compete with others for wealth." Mr. Jiang laughed angrily at the eldest grandson.
The onlookers couldn't stand it, and they accused Mu Zhengyi: "Young man, you are a regular visitor here. I'm afraid you have spent all the money given to you by your family here? It's obvious that your behavior is not upright, so you still have to blame the family.
I don’t have enough money for you? I don’t think your grandma is dressed like someone from a wealthy family, so you can study well.”
"That's right. There is also a scholar in our village. His family is very poor, but he is very successful. This time he even passed the examination to become a scholar!"
"Although the man from our village did not pass the exam, he has been working hard and said he would take the exam next time. I have never heard of him using the money given by his family to stay in a brothel!"
Seeing that more and more people were criticizing him, Mu Zhengyi didn't want to be embarrassed here, so he left Jiang and ran away.
How could Mrs. Jiang let him run away? She dragged him and said, "Come to the academy with me, and we will beg the master to keep you together. You are grandma's last hope! Yi'er..."
If Mu Dongyuan was the blow that destroyed Jiang's pride, the fact that Mu Zhengyi was kicked out of the academy was the last straw that crushed Jiang's heart.
"Are you annoyed, old lady?" Mu Zhengyi pushed Jiang away impatiently. "Don't bother me. Go and embarrass yourself."
Jiang fell to the ground and cried loudly: "God, what evil have I done? Why are you doing this to me? I don't live anymore!"
