Chapter 24 Our family is unusual
Xie Lingjiao gave her brother a raise in food allowance.
On the original basis, an additional three taels of silver was added every month, and he was required to spend it all.
This is a sweet burden for Xie Qi.
"Sister, I have money. You work so hard to make money, so you should keep the money for yourself."
Why does she have to work so hard to make money?
There are so many medicinal materials in the mountains, and you can get them just by digging them out.
Xie Lingjiao didn't let her brother spare the trouble.
He also told him by the way: "By the way, grandpa and grandma have reconciled. Our second uncle and his family were kicked out by grandma along with grandpa. From now on, Xiaoqi, please don't go back during the holidays. We have no beds there." ”
Peace and separation?
who?
Xie Qi looked up in confusion but didn't see his sister, and quickly lowered his head again, "Sister, who did you say you reconciled with?"
"Grandpa and our fore-milk!"
Xie Lingjiao told him the whole story in a low voice.
Detailed and vivid.
Xie Qi was raised by his sister and is very receptive to strange things.
He quickly digested this strange result and said happily: "Fortunately, I didn't keep the money in my previous home, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss!"
My sister taught me.
Keep important items with you.
So Xie Qi's savings were converted into banknotes, which he kept close to his body and checked from time to time. Occasionally when you feel unhappy, you can take them out and count them.
Ensure physical and mental pleasure.
"I didn't expect grandpa to hate breast milk so much... My ex-grandma, he has been tolerant in every possible way for so many years. I thought he loved her miserably."
"It turns out not to be the case!"
Xie Qi sighed.
He was the last person in the family to know the news. "Then my eldest cousin will still have to take the college entrance examination next month?"
"By the way, sister, I also passed the government examination before, and now I am a child student. The master urged me to come out and have a look, maybe I can still pass."
"If I pass, I will be a scholar, and sister, you will be the scholar's sister!"
"Of course, our Xiao Chi is also the younger brother of the scholar!"
Since he was not ranked first in the government examination, Xie Qi was embarrassed to tell his sister.
It's just a government examination and I can only take second place.
Xie Qi no longer worried about taking the first place in the exams in the future, and simply agreed to his master and take the college exam next month.
Xie Qi: "Maybe I can meet my eldest cousin then!"
"I don't know how good my eldest cousin is, but he is so precious, so he should be able to pass the hospital exam, right?"
Who knows?
My eldest cousin has taken the exam twice and still hasn’t passed.
Xie Lingjiao felt that her level was average.
If it were the fourth cousin, he would definitely be able to get through it in one go!
When Xie Lingjiao mentioned her fourth cousin, she thought of what she had just discovered - her fourth cousin was sick!
It seems that he is still very ill.
So after sending the younger brother back to the inn, Xie Lingjiao offered to send the older brother back to the academy.
I want to take this opportunity to send the ointment to my fourth cousin.
On the road.
Xie Lingjiao asked her brother if he knew about his fourth cousin's illness.
"Fourth brother?"
Xie Qi studied in the same academy as his fourth cousin.
But in order to get the first place in the exam, he was very tight on time, and rarely paid attention to anything else except money-related matters.
I heard my sister ask about my fourth cousin.
He looked confused.
"What happened to him?"
"Well, it's nothing."
Forget it if you don’t know.
She couldn't talk about the patient's privacy.
Xie Lingjiao: "I saw him injured before, and I planned to send him some medicine later."
"Then I will call Fourth Brother for my sister!"
Xie Qi is very willing to help his sister with things.
Especially after he started studying, it fell to his younger brother Xie Chi to take care of his sister from getting up and cooking for her. He didn't even get a chance to do this.
He was sad for a while because of this. Fortunately, the younger brother also took good care of his sister, otherwise he would not be able to leave home without worry.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Xiao Qi."
"I am willing to do something for my sister for the rest of my life!"
Xie Qi ran extremely fast.
He didn't pay attention to anyone who called him on the street.
He had long legs and ran out again soon.
"Sister! Fourth brother and the master took leave and have already left the academy!"
"The classmates who live with Fourth Brother seem to be afraid of him. They were all scared away as soon as I said Fourth Brother's name. I'm sorry, sister, I didn't find out where Fourth Brother is."
No one was found.
Xie Lingjiao was a little disappointed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"It's okay." She gave her brother some more money and told her, "If you are hungry at night, have another meal. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Our little Qi must grow tall and be in good health. ”
"By the way, don't always immerse yourself in reading. Proper exercise is also important."
"The body is the capital of that thing!"
Xie Qi didn't mind her being verbose either.
Listening carefully to every word.
"I know, sister. I will."
Xie Qi was very reluctant to say goodbye.
Taking one step at a time, I turned back three times. It took a long time to walk just a short distance.
When he returned to his dormitory, he did not read the book for the first time. Instead, he hugged the quilt bought by his sister and cried under the strange eyes of his roommates.
The roommates were shocked.
Is this still the popular Xie Qi?
Why is he like a crybaby?
Those wealthy young ladies who admired him would probably have their dreams shattered when they saw him.
……
When Xie Lingjiao returned to the inn, her third cousin was still busy.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Xie Lingjiao couldn't understand.
She originally wanted to tell the third sister what she saw today, but the third sister didn't have any time. Unlike before, I could listen to myself and her sharing gossip and interesting stories heard outside at any time.
First time in life.
Xie Lingjiao realizes that human beings will change.
And it becomes so fast.
Unlike the trees, grass, and birds in the mountains...it takes hundreds of years for them to have a chance to move. Until then, they will be there.
Not going anywhere.
There will be nothing else.
Everyone had a lot of time to play with her and discuss how human beings have a short and hurried life.
"Fifth sister."
late at night.
Xie Lingjiao was drowsy after letting go of her fourth cousin's illness, and finally fell asleep.
The third cousin stood in front of the bed, her face still calm and expressionless.
"Fifth sister, I have something to discuss with you."
What must be done now?
Xie Lingjiao was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. With only instinct left in his body, he stretched out his paws sideways and muttered in response: "Third sister...you...want to say...what..."
"I want to borrow some money from you."
Xie Qionghua has just developed a kind of paper that is not available in this era.
Low cost.
Now that the family is short of money, she doesn't want her fragile fifth sister to bear the responsibility of supporting the family alone. That's how I came up with it.
Needless to say, there was no need to say much about the market of paper in ancient times.
Xie Qionghua believes that this small research will definitely make some money and reduce Wu Mei's burden.
However, she had no start-up capital, so she shamelessly approached the fifth sister.
Xie Qionghua: "Don't worry, I will pay you back the money as soon as possible."
In order to let Wu Mei invest with confidence, she also made a detailed plan for her.
There are a lot of professional terms in it.
Xie Lingjiao couldn't understand it even when she was awake, let alone now.
"Hmm...Okay..." Half asleep, she nodded randomly, "Give...Third Sister...the money..."
