Chapter 121 Sweet Trouble
The night was melting, and stars hung on the dark sky.
Wen Yu leaned against the window, the evening breeze blew by, and the bamboo outside the window swayed in the wind.
“Miss, it’s late at night.”
The maid’s tactful reminder brought Wen Yu back to his senses.
During the day, Shuyao's words were like throwing a hot fire stone into her heart.
My experience along the way has proven the importance of holding money in hand.
If you win the bet this time, you will no longer have to worry about the rest of your life!
“Hongxiu, go get all those posts from me!” Wen Yu’s eyes were firm.
"Ah, but..." Hongmei couldn't say anything.
Because of the amazing effect of the picture of the emperor and his concubines, many dignitaries secretly sent greeting cards to Wen Yu in private.
In order to win back the hearts of their husbands, some ladies asked Wen Yu to draw a marriage picture.
There were also concubines who asked Wen Yu to draw pictures of beauties in order to compete for their master's favor.
There is also a housewife who wants to ask Wen Yu to draw erotic pictures so that her girls can learn from them and avoid suffering on the wedding day.
“What’s there to be embarrassed about when it comes to making money?” Wen Yu avoided seeing him in the past few days simply because he felt too tired to draw these pictures.
But now, my mentality has changed, and these pictures are just money and a guarantee for my bright future life!
Wen Yu wishes that the more pictures he has, the better.
“The one with the highest price will be given priority!” Anyway, we have decided to make money from this, so we should be more ruthless!
Under the same sky, every household is performing a different drama.
Jiang Guanghai walked home slowly under the moonlight.
In his mind, he calculated that his private money was only fifty taels, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Living in the capital is not easy. Although my father is a royal censor, after deducting the rent and household expenses, there is not much money left every month.
In the past few years, all the savings saved by frugality have been used to buy a new house.
Do I still want to talk to my father and mother?
But if I miss this opportunity, I will definitely regret it!
After thinking about it, Jiang Guanghai came to the entrance of the alley.
Although the location of the new house is not as good as before, it is better than the quiet one.
Most of the people living in this area are officials from Qingshui Yamen such as the Hanlin Academy. Although the courtyard is small, it is decorated very elegantly.
However, today, it seemed that many guests came to his home. Jiang Guanghai stood at the door, and he could hear his aunt's hearty laughter through the wooden door.
“Sister, our Guanghai has gained a lot of limelight this time and received personal praise from Mr. Zhu!”
Mrs. Jiang said modestly: "Oh, I'm not as powerful as your elder brother, who is now a scholar!"
My aunt's voice sounded very sad: "With Guanghai's strength, we can win The scholar is very easy, and with the care of Mr. Cui, Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Yongchanghou, he has risen to the top. My brother is not so lucky. "
Jiang Guanghai outside the door twitched his lips.
When I decided to drop out of Songshan Academy and enter Baichuan Academy, my aunt was afraid that her family would be implicated, so she ran to the house overnight and had a big quarrel with my mother-in-law, saying that she wanted to sever the relationship.
Although it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, what my aunt did did really hurt the relationship between relatives.
Mrs. Jiang seemed not to have heard the implication of her sister's words, and comforted: "At the beginning, you took a lot of time to choose an academy for your elder son. I still remember you said that this academy teaches the best candidates. It's easy!" My aunt sneered: "That's not the past! When Master Cui and Master Zhu come back, there will definitely be a bloody storm in the imperial examination!"
< br>
Mrs. Jiang looked indifferent: "As long as you have real talent and practical knowledge, what are you afraid of?"
Jiang Guanghai outside the door burst into laughter, then opened the door and went in: "Auntie, I You’re back, aunt, why are you here?”
As soon as she saw Jiang Guanghai, her aunt’s face lit up and she hurriedly stood up to greet him and took Jiang Guanghai’s hand.
"Wen Quxing is back! Let your aunt take a look. Ouch, he is getting more and more handsome!"
Jiang Guanghai took out his hand without leaving a trace and hid behind Mrs. Jiang, waiting for his aunt to reveal his final intention.
"Guanghai, you are the only child in your family. In the future, you will have to move more with the brothers from your aunt's house to support each other and have each other to rely on."
Jiang Guanghai pursed his lips and smiled, They didn't talk to each other. Those brothers usually saw me on the road and wanted to take a detour.
As if nothing was wrong, my aunt continued: "You see there are not many students in Baichuan Academy. Why don't you let a few brothers go to the academy to accompany you? It would be nice to have someone to take care of you."
Jiang Guanghai: "Okay, just ask them to register at the academy."
Aunt's smile froze on her face.
Since the Baichuan Academy opened, it has only admitted that one student.
I was blocked at the entrance of the academy for several days, but I couldn't find anyone. I tried to find Mrs. Yongchang Hou through various means, but I never succeeded.
“Oh, look at my memory! When Guanghai met such a happy event, I prepared the gift early, and I was busy chatting with my sister, but I forgot about it for a while.”
After saying that, the aunt winked at the little maid beside her, and then the little maid took out a wooden box.
Open the wooden box, and there are ten silver cushions neatly placed inside.
"Sister, you are so polite. Why are you giving me a gift this year? We can't accept it!" Mrs. Jiang frowned and pushed the box back.
Then without waiting for her to speak, she pushed her out and said, "It's getting so late. Your elder should be worried about you. Go back quickly!"
Bang!
The door of Jiang Mansion was slammed shut.
"Why do you think so of me? I love my brothers and sisters, but I'm not a fool. I can't see who is a white-eyed wolf?" Mrs. Jiang turned around and asked the boys to clean up the mess. The mess of the ground.
"It took a lot of effort for Baichuan Academy to get up. You must cherish your wings and don't ruin your reputation just because of a small profit!"
"Madam, you are right!" Jiang Yushi came out in regular clothes and praised.
Immediately, Jiang Yushi turned to Jiang Guanghai: "Mrs. Yongchang Hou called you to come today. What's the matter?"
Jiang Guanghai told everything that happened in the private room: "Shu Yao said that houses in Kyoto will rise to tens of thousands of yuan in the future, and asked us to share those houses and shops with her."
"It's ridiculous! What's the difference between this and robbing money?" Mrs. Jiang didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to believe it.
Jiang Guanghai: "But the godmother said that the money was not enough, so she kept it secret."
Mrs. Jiang turned around and returned to the main house without saying a word.
“Aniang?”
"There is still some savings at home, you can take it all! It is something that Mrs. Yongchang Hou is sure of, so there must be no problem!"
Jiang Guanghai looked at his father who was still there.
Chiang Yushi thought more deeply than Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Yongchang Hou was not short of money, so why did she want to participate in this matter?
Jiang Yushi smiled bitterly. He used to be able to understand one or two points of her intentions, but now, he can't even understand her.
