A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 50: A money-losing item that is not worth 1 silver coins even if sold!



Chapter 50: A money-losing item that is not worth 1 silver coins even if sold!

The man's anger had just died down when the woman's anger started again.

Men and women sat at different tables. Wang invited all the women to the second courtyard. The furnishings in the second courtyard were more exquisite than those in the first courtyard. Once they entered the courtyard, the women were dazzled.

The autumn sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows. The courtyard is made of bluestone roads, blue bricks and black tiles. There is a small pond in the courtyard, where various fish that Xiaomi likes to eat are raised. There are more potted plants and flowers than in the front yard, and they seem to be blooming more brightly. They don't understand why flowers can still bloom in this season.

There were jujube trees, pomegranate trees, and orange trees in the yard, all bearing abundant fruits, which were very pleasing to the eye. There were also two trees that they did not recognize, but the fruits hanging on them were recognized by Li and other women. Lin Dashan had given them two. They were said to be rare items not even available in the city.

Inside the main room, they were amazed again, carefully touching here and there. These furniture looked worth a lot of money, all made of wood they had never seen before. They were painted brightly and carved with patterns. Oh, whose furniture could be so exquisite? The Dashan family was really amazing!

Wang asked everyone to take a seat.

"Sister Wang, please take us to other rooms to have a look."

There was no other way, so he took a group of women to the study room, where there was only a large desk and rows of bookshelves, but there were not many books on them. It made sense, books were so expensive, how much money would it cost to fill a shelf. And Lin Dashan was illiterate, why would he buy books?

There were several books on the desk, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Oh, sister-in-law, my brother is still studying now!" Seeing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Song said sarcastically.

"I'm the one learning. Does Second Aunt have any objection?" Lin Xiaomi replied coldly.

"Oh, when did Xiaomi learn to read? You are a girl, why do you need to learn to read? Why don't you ask my son Fuqiang to come over? He has wanted to study for a long time. But the family is short of money, so it's a pity that he still can't get an education."

"What's wrong with a girl? My Xiaomi is smart, so why can't she study? The teacher always praises Xiaomi for her talent and that she studies very well!" Wang was already angry with Song, and now she spoke without any mercy.

"Haha." Song smiled awkwardly, "I see, that's right, sister-in-law is right. Xiaomi is young, and it's inevitable that she will be lonely studying alone. How about asking the ones in my family to accompany her?"

Thank you!

"I'm sorry, Second Aunt, I like quietness and don't like to have other people around me when I'm reading."

"Child, can your brothers disturb you from studying?"

"Xiaomi, has your family hired a teacher for you?" Yang asked. If there was a teacher, could her son also come and take lessons?

"I asked Brother Fugui to teach me how to tell the days before. Now I am learning by myself. If I don't understand, I will ask Brother Fuyou."

"Fugui is such a good guy, I wonder if he has time to teach our children!"

The other women also nodded. They had no money to go to school. Lin Fugui was not only a student, but also free. It would be a great thing if he could teach their children. Sir, if we can save money on books, maybe we can also save money on pens and ink.

Lin Fugui's wife was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. How could this be possible? Her husband wanted to go for the imperial examination, so he had no time to teach the villagers.

"Brother Fugui taught me, two taels of silver a month." Lin Xiaomi said indifferently.

Oh my god! Two taels of silver. How dare Lin Fugui accept it! Is Lin Dashan stupid? A money-losing piece of shit, he actually spent two taels of silver to hire a master for her. It's not worth two taels of silver even if he sells it!

Looking at Lin Fugui's wife and then at Wang, he dared not say anything and could only feel contempt for himself.

Yang was so regretful that she wanted to slap her thigh. How could she not know that this girl was learning from Fugui? If she knew, she would have sent her son to study with her even if she had to risk her dignity.

Mrs. Li blinked her cloudy old eyes. Her stepson had indeed become rich. If this yard was given to his three sons, each family would have enough space to live in. In the future, when his grandchildren got married, they wouldn't have to separate and live separately. With such a decent house, she could also choose a girl from a better family when the fourth son got married. It was not impossible for her to choose a daughter from a wealthy landlord.

There are only a few people in the old man's house, can they sleep together? It's better to give his brothers some convenience instead of wasting so many rooms.

And that study room. If, if her son Dahe studied in such a room, he might have become a scholar long ago, and maybe even passed the imperial examination and became a juren.

Xiaomi's bedroom.

There was a faint scent of incense burning in the house, which smelled very pleasant.

“This room smells so good!”

"Why does it smell so good? What did you order?"

Yang sniffed hard a few times.

Wang said, "It's just ordinary incense."

"Wow, what is this? Is this a bed?"

It was the first time for them to see a step-out bed. The bed was surrounded by a pink gauze curtain, which was folded on both sides. The bed was covered with a soft quilt. The quilt cover was sky blue with various flowers embroidered on it, and there were also a few cute dolls in strange styles. There was a small table by the window, and in addition to a teapot and teacups, there was also a large snack box.

Lin Wanxiu was jealous. Not only did Xiaomi sleep in such a big bed, but she could also eat delicious snacks at any time. And there was a wardrobe. There must be a lot of beautiful clothes in it. She wanted it so much.

There was a large mahogany carved wardrobe, a dressing table, and a bronze mirror that could reflect a person clearly. There was also a small and exquisite jewelry box on the dressing table.

Xiaomi actually has a jewelry box. Does she have so many jewelry that she needs a box?

Can you give her some? She doesn't even have a velvet flower. They are cousins!

The women in the room were envious. Lin Dashan and his wife really loved their daughter. They raised Xiaomi as a lady from a noble family! Considering that their family had no children, those with many children wanted to adopt a child. Those with sons also wanted to marry Xiaomi, the little golden baby. With the love the couple gave her, wouldn't her future dowry be...

The older Wang and her daughter-in-law were more and more frightened. With such a large family business, there couldn't be no son, right? If the daughter (sister-in-law) didn't have a son, would the son-in-law (Lin family) really not divorce her or take a concubine? ?

These people were relatively sensible. Even though they were curious, no one opened the closet or rummaged through the drawers.

Fortunately, no one went through her jewelry box or opened her closet, otherwise I was afraid I would get angry right away. After they left, Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief.

I visited Wang's house and other rooms again. I was surprised to see that there were 5 rooms decorated like this. How could they live here with only three people? It's such a pity to have these empty rooms! I went to each wing and commented on them. I was planning to visit the third courtyard.

"Madam, the uncle has arrived. The uncle asked you to bring the young lady to greet him."

"My uncle is here!"

Wang was overjoyed and hurriedly took Xiaomi out to greet them. The others could only follow them and walk to the door together.

"Uncle!"

"Xiaomi is getting prettier and prettier!"

Xiaomi smiled brightly.

"Brother-in-law! Eldest nephew, second nephew, third nephew."

Lin Mutu really didn't want to see his ex-wife's brother-in-law. Every time he saw him, he would sneer at him, accusing him of partiality and abusing his first child. Dashan was really ignorant. His mother had been dead for so many years, so why should he have any contact with his uncle's family?
