Chapter 13

Deputy Envoy Su looked at the recommended books given by the teacher, and then looked at the homework that his eldest son had written for others. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it because Xian'er is naughty that he was asked to leave the private school?"

Deputy Envoy Su expressed the thoughts of everyone in the Su family.

That’s not right. Writing homework for others won’t cause my brother to transfer schools.

Su Yinyin shook her head: "Brother wouldn't do that."

The most shocked person was the teacher: "How is it possible! This is my best student! He has never done such a thing!"

Su Xian stopped at the door, turned his head away from the people in the room, and secretly hid the pencil case in his sleeve.

Su Yinyin has sharp eyes, and she stared at her brother's hand in disbelief.

Is it because of her?

Su Yinyin broke free from her father's arms, trotted towards her brother, and hugged his thighs directly: "Brother, I'm sorry."

Why did Yin Yin apologize?

Su Xian picked up his sister and didn't respond at all.

Before the Su family couple could speak, the teacher took the lead to explain on behalf of his best student: "This is definitely not Su Xian's fault. Did those students force you to do your homework? Tell me who it is. I will definitely punish them!"

The assistant teacher's mouth twitched.

Is this ok?

If you don't take a look, who would dare to embarrass Su Xian?

The teacher slammed the table and said, "I know! You know that you need to transfer to another school and the tuition is high, so you are earning money for your studies?"

ah?

Su Xian was confused.

He's going to transfer schools?

The teacher sighed, "I really can't teach you. If you had a better teacher, you would have passed the exam within the next two years."

"If you really can't afford the money for these private schools, you can wait another two years."

Su Yinyin hugged her brother's neck. Only she knew the reason. It seemed that she had caused trouble for the family again.

The matter of doing homework for others has been exposed.

Deputy Envoy Su and Madam Su were keen to learn about the transfer, but they sent the children away first so that they wouldn't have to worry about the expenses.

They both love their child very much, and since they know that the current private school is no longer suitable, they will definitely find a way to transfer the child.

The problem is that the tuition of those private schools is really high, at least five taels of silver per month, not to mention that if you want to take the exam to become a scholar, you need a lot of books.

After all, he was a juren scholar, and there were fewer students in the private school, so the teaching was more detailed.

Outside the room, brother and sister Su Xian and Su Yinyin sat on a rock, silently waiting for their parents to come out.

Su Yinyin was dejected, with her head resting on her brother's arm.

The small pencil case rubbed Su Yinyin's little hand.

"Look, do you like it?" The older brother Su Xian has a dull personality. At this moment, he is clumsily teasing his sister, trying to make her happy.

Of course Su Yinyin likes it. You know she likes it without even watching it.

Because my brother bought it.

Su Yinyin held her brother's hand. The young man's hands were still fleshy, with thin calluses between his fingers from writing. There was a red spot among them, which was obviously caused last night.

Su Yinyin blew gently and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, brother."

"Silly sister." Su Xian rubbed his sister's head and tidied her up, "You are my sister."

"Besides, we can't let others get there first this time!"

other people?

Why did my brother suddenly become so motivated?

The 11-year-old brother Su Xian said seriously: "What others have, my sister must have too."

Su Yinyin was confused.

What is my brother doing?

Su Yinyin opened the pencil case, revealing a beautiful Zhuge pen with a slender pen holder, just right for a three-year-old child.

Generally speaking, only children from wealthy families would come into contact with writing brushes at the age of two or three. Therefore, the brushes available for this age group are all top-quality products, and the cheapest one costs three taels of silver each.

Three or two, my brother wrote thirty homework assignments in one night?

Su Yinyin felt even more distressed. She hugged her brother's hand and almost cried.

Su Xianze said: "I only write when they beg me to. It's a bargain for them."

Su Yinyin burst into laughter, rubbed her brother's hand, and felt like crying again.

The Su couple came out of the room and were both angry and amused. Looking at the brush in their daughter's hand, how could they not know what was going on.

Deputy Envoy Su held one in each hand and deliberately put on a stern face: "You will be beaten when you go back."

"Don't hit my brother." Su Yinyin said immediately, "Daddy, hit me instead."

Deputy Envoy Su was reluctant to hit anyone. The two children were leaning against each other, and he had no time to take care of them.

On the way home, Su Yinyin held the pencil case in her arms and liked it more and more no matter how she looked at it.

But where does my brother's fighting spirit come from?

At the door of the Su family, Li Ruiyuan was holding a small book box in his hand. Both the size and specifications were suitable for children.

All the four treasures of the study in it were carefully selected by Li Ruiyuan from his father’s storehouse.

After he finished his homework today, he immediately went to search the warehouse, finally picked out something he liked, and rushed over without stopping.

But there was no one from the Su family.

He knocked several times but no one answered.

"Yuan Rui! Don't you have to go to school today?"

When the four members of the Su family came back, they saw the little door god at the door at a glance.

Su Xian sneered.

He just knew it!

Someone wants to steal his sister.

Such a good sister can only be his.

Su Yinyin's words made Li Ruiyuan look up immediately. Li Ruiyuan's eyes did not change, but he paused on the pencil case she was holding tightly.

"Just happened to be passing by."

Li Ruiyuan tightly grasped the exquisite little bookcase in his hand and stuffed it into Su Yinyin's hand: "This is for you."

That broken pencil case is definitely not as good as his!

Su Yinyin was shocked. Her little hands couldn't lift such a heavy book box. Fortunately, Li Ruiyuan discovered it in time and quickly lifted it up.

"There are brushes suitable for you inside." Li Ruiyuan introduced them one by one, "and this ink, which is easy to wash out and won't make your face dirty even if you use it on it."

Not only Su Yinyin was shocked, but the Su couple were also surprised.

They both knew at first glance that the bookcase alone was worth a fortune, not to mention the pens, ink, paper and inkstone inside were all of top quality.

How can I accept this?

“It’s too expensive.”

Without waiting for the Su family to refuse, Su Yinyin immediately said, and raised the pencil case in her hand: "I already have a suitable pen, my brother bought it for me."

As she spoke, Su Yinyin opened the pencil case and showed it to Yuan Rui, and said happily, "It looks good, right?"

Li Ruiyuan wanted to say that it was not pretty, but he couldn't make the baby sad, so he could only say "hmm" casually, then put the book box at the door of Su's house, turned around and ran away.

The servants behind him ran even faster, leaving him no time to react.

Deputy Envoy Su wanted to give chase, but he wondered if he chased a child, he might be considered a human trafficker.

Su Xian said directly: "He will definitely come again, give it back to him next time!"

My sister said it all!

I like the one he gave me more!

The small bookcase was placed in Su Yinyin's room and would be returned to Yuan Rui when he came again.

She placed the pencil case on the small desk by the window, obviously she would use it frequently.

This room was prepared by her family before she was born. When they rented a house, they thought of leaving one for her.

Although she hasn't moved in yet, the house is fully stocked with everything she needs, all of which are hers.

The small desk was newly bought and was just the right height for her. On the shelf next to it were the toys she had collected over the years.

Su Yinyin touched here and there, making sure to touch everything, and finally lay down on the clean and soft bed.

My own room.

In her previous life, until she passed away, she didn't have her own room.

Not only do I have it in this life, but I also have many, many gifts.

Why don’t you sleep alone tonight?

The Su couple had no idea that their daughter wanted to sleep alone, and they were trying to find a way to settle the score without their son or daughter knowing.

Why hide from them?

Who made these two so smart.

My son is good at studying, speaks little but is very smart.

My daughter is even more clever. She can figure out the answer to any math question just by going over it in her mind.

If they knew that there was not enough money at home for their children's education, they would definitely save money secretly.

Now that they were both in their own room, the Su couple finally dared to settle the accounts.

Deputy Envoy Su's annual salary was fixed, twelve shi of wheat per year, equivalent to fifty-seven taels of silver, plus thirty-six taels of silver coins, a total of ninety-three taels.

I get about seven taels and seven cents a month, plus the subsidy from the Military Affairs Department, which is almost eight taels of silver.

It seems like a lot of money, but I have to pay two taels of silver as rent every month.

It was all thanks to the Military Affairs Department that we were able to rent a house of two taels for four people in Bian Jing.

For household expenses, medical treatment for the elderly, etc., it is considered good to have one or two taels of silver left every month. Most of the time, this one or two taels of silver will be lent out.

After Mrs. Su opened the shop, things at home got better.

Hui Nu Dim Sum opened on February 20th, and as of today, March 9th, we can roughly estimate that it can make a profit of around ten taels per month.

After deducting the monthly store rent of four taels, the actual amount received was about six taels.

The Su couple had a headache from calculating, but they finally sorted out the accounts.

It would be great if my daughter was here, she can definitely calculate quickly and accurately.

After adding up the income of the two and deducting necessary expenses, the remaining six taels of silver was barely enough for the eldest son to go to a better private school.

"It's not easy to live in the capital." Deputy Envoy Su said helplessly.

Madam Su nodded and listed out the money from the wedding cakes: "Fortunately, we have the wedding cakes to support us, so we are not left with nothing."

Unexpectedly, the income from wedding cakes became the only savings their family could keep.

"If we can do it more often, we won't have to worry about money."

The couple ticked the abacus and sparks flew out. In another room, Su Yinyin, lying on the bed, stared at the ceiling and whispered, "We need to find a way to sell more wedding cakes."

"Otherwise, the family won't be able to save any money."

My brother's teacher said that as long as he went to a better private school, he could take the examination to become a scholar in the next few years.

It costs money to take the exam to become a scholar. It costs money to register, it costs money to prepare for the exam, and even more money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Must save up in advance.

Su Yinyin jumped off the bed, took the pencil case into her arms, and lay down on the bed again.

Her brother is good to her, so she should be good to him too.

Make money, you must make money.

After running around with her parents all day, Su Yinyin felt drowsy while holding the pencil case given by her brother.

She will definitely make money!
