Xu Jin put the fragrant sachet into his arms and continued to recite "Mencius" aloud: The acquaintance of people is the most important thing to know each other. The most important thing for people to know each other is to know each other......

Xu Jin is a traverser, and modern social concepts make him hesitate to accept Fei Ruyi's affection, but as the so-called fair lady and gentleman are good, chasing beauty is the common nature of men, not to mention chasing after flower beauties.

For Fei Ruyi's beautiful girl, Xu Jin admitted that he was moved. After all, in the ancient society where men were inferior to women, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.

Of course, Xu Jin knew that with his current social status, not to mention paying Fei Ruyi as a concubine, it would be difficult to marry a flat wife, even if Fei Shi valued himself, it was impossible for him to allow his niece to be a concubine, and he would not agree to marry him with the gift of a flat wife.

Therefore, if Xu Jin wants to marry Fei Ruyi, he has to spend a lot of effort, at least he has to get the title of the gold list, and get the name of Jinshi, and it is best to be the top three, so that there will naturally be much less resistance. Of course, it would be best if the little slave could give a marriage after he ascended the throne, and everyone would be happy, and no resistance would be a problem.

Fortunately, Fei Ruyi's filial piety period is still two years, and there is still plenty of time left for Xu Jin, eight township examinations next year, and the examination in March of the following year.

Now Xu Jin is most worried about Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, this guy is a powder keg that will explode at any time, and I don't know when it will explode, if it is blown up during the township test next year, then the fun will be great, Jiangxi's township test may be messed up, and the students who have studied hard for more than ten years are afraid to cry, and they will have to be unlucky.

After Xu Jinchen finished reading, he put away the book and returned to the house, the two pairs of beautiful eyes looked at each other, Xie Xiaowan smiled sweetly: "Xianggong has finished reading, Yue'er, give Xianggong a bowl of laba porridge!" After speaking, he gently took off the cloak outside for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin sat down at the table, and Yue'er quickly brought a bowl of hot laba porridge.

"Xu Gongzi, is it delicious?" Irito asked with a grin.

Xu Jin glanced at Fei Ruyi, who was full of anticipation, and immediately guessed a few points, and said with a smile: "Well, it tastes good, sweet but not greasy, delicious!" ”

Immediately after entering the painting, he said proudly: "This is my girl's own hand-cooked." ”

Fei Ruyi's face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "I want you girl to be talkative, Sister Xiaowan, Yue'er, you can also taste it, there are still many in the pot!" ”

Now that Miss Fei San got Xu Jin's exact promise, she was overjoyed, and her joy was written on her face, and she personally served a bowl of laba porridge for Xie Xiaowan.

"Sister Ruyi, how does this make ...... Thank you, try it yourself! Xie Xiaowan also hurriedly filled Fei Ruyi with a bowl.

When she was in Shangrao County, Fei Ruyi and Xie Xiaowan had a good time, and in the past few months, Fei Ruyi has been arriving almost every day, and the two daughters have naturally become more familiar and intimate.

Fei Ruyi and Xie Xiaowan are both smart women, the former knows that if he wants to marry into the Xu family in the future, he must have a good relationship with Xie Xiaowan and please the main room, so he gets along with each other every day, and pays attention to maintaining humility in intimacy, as well as respecting Xie Xiaowan. For example, he personally served porridge to Xie Xiaowan just now, and he was also polite to Yahuan Yue'er.

And Xie Xiaowan also knows that her father-in-law is afraid that sooner or later she will marry Sister Ruyi, although she is a little disappointed, but it is not unacceptable, after all, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and his father-in-law will accept other women as concubines in the future, and it is as if he married Sister Ruyi. After all, Sister Ruyi's temperament is easy to get along with, and she also knows books and etiquette, and she has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is good for Sister Ruyi to marry and spread out for our Xu family.

It is precisely because the two women have a tacit understanding of mutual acceptance that they get along with each other very harmoniously.

"Oh, it's not the right time for us to disturb the family to eat laba porridge...... Cluck! ”

Fei Xiaoyu's little spicy walked in with a fiery red cloak, and when she saw Xu Jin, Xie Xiaowan, and Fei Ruyi sitting around the round table eating porridge, she immediately made fun of herself, and giggled after speaking.

Fei Jixiang, who followed closely, also covered his mouth and smiled, and glanced at Xie Xiaowan and Fei Ruyi with deep meaning.

Fei Ruyi couldn't help but fly her cheeks, and said angrily: "Fifth sister, if you talk nonsense again, I can tear off your mouth!" ”

Xie Xiaowan stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyu's mouth should really be unscrewed, since you are here, sit down together and try the laba porridge made by Sister Ruyi." ”

"Hehe, Sister Ruyi cooked it with her own hands, that person is welcome, it's cold outside, it's probably going to snow." Fei Xiaoyu took off her cloak and handed it to Yahuan and sat down at the table.

Fei Jixiang looked at Fei Xiaoyu, who sat down to drink porridge unceremoniously, and said narrowly: "What did the fifth sister say just now?" Heck, there's one more in the family! ”

Fei Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Fourth sister, if you have the ability, you can stand and not eat." ”

Fei Jixiang smiled: "Hehe, I've eaten at home, I really can't eat it at the moment, you family eat slowly." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, but it was also very pleasing to watch the two little beauties in front of him bickering.

At this moment, Erniu's goods ran in, and said in a buzzing voice: "Uncle Ten, your classmate Han Chuang is here, waiting outside, and carrying a big burden and mysterious." ”

"Got it, let him wait a while, I'll go out right away."

Xu Jin sped up and drank the bowl of hot laba porridge, then stood up and said, "Lady, you ...... cough, you eat slowly, I'll go outside to meet Han Shoucheng. ”

Xie Xiaowan hurriedly said: "It may be snowing, Xianggong put on the cloak, Erniu, remember to bring an umbrella." ”

Yue'er hurriedly took a cloak to put on Xu Jin, and brought an umbrella to Erniu.

As soon as Xu Jin and Er Niu left the house, they heard Fei Xiaoyu chirping: "Xu Xiucai is bad, and this girl dares to take advantage of it, lady, you eat slowly...... Bah, I'm not. ”

Xu Jin almost fell headlong, saying that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, and he had immediately changed his words, but he didn't expect to be complained about by this little pepper, grandma's!

Xu Jin came to the front hall of the Fei Mansion, Han Chuang's goods were already waiting there, and when they met, he threw a bag of white flowers of silver in front of Xu Jin, and said with his eyebrows: "Hehe, Boss Xu, we have made a fortune, and the year-end dividends of the black tea business are a total of 120 taels of silver." ”

It is now the eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year will soon be over, and the tea business will come to an end, so two days ago, Huang Desheng has clarified the black tea accounts from September to the present, excluding the cost, and a total of more than 600 taels of silver have been earned.

Since Xu Jin accounted for 20% of the dry shares, he paid a dividend of 120 taels of silver, and Boss Huang happily handed it all over to Han Chuang and asked him to bring it over to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin ordered twenty-four taels of silver and put it in front of Han Chuang, and said with a smile: "Tong Suo is not bullied, this is your share, well, give someone one or two more silver, make up enough for twenty-five taels, it is considered a New Year's red envelope for you!" ”

"Hehe, thank you Boss Han!" Han Chuang rubbed his palms and smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Don't look at it, it's just twenty-four taels of silver, but it's already a huge amount of money for ordinary people. What's more, from September to now, it is not enough for three months, which is equivalent to a monthly income of eight taels of silver, which is generally an average monthly income of less than two taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty, the monthly income of eight taels of silver is equivalent to the current gold-collar level, and it is said that Han Chuang's Laozi Han Xin's monthly salary is four taels of silver.

Han Chuang put the silver into the money bag and said triumphantly: "That old man is afraid that his eyes are about to fall out when he sees it!" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly laugh, patted Han Chuang's shoulder and said, "Work hard, and strive to double next year's dividends." ”

Han Chuang was so excited at the moment that he was full of energy, and said with a smile: "That's a must!" ”
