"He said that with his talent and looks, once he arrived in the capital, a third-rank official would recognize him and marry his eldest daughter to him. He would also give him money and send him to study at the Imperial Academy. He would take the exam for a scholar in one year, the exam for a juren in three years, and the top scorer in five years."
Xianjin was stunned.
I have suffered all the shocks in this life.
Talent and beauty... the eldest daughter... the Imperial College... became the top scholar...
No matter how bizarre a life is, there is definitely someone living it.
For example, Qiao Baoyuan.
Like a star of hope.
But Xianjin firmly believes that even if God gets cataracts and glaucoma and becomes deaf and blind!
——Song Baixi wouldn’t have such bad luck!
"So...where is he now?"
Aunt Zhong smiled coldly, "Two days ago, an old student who was close to him came to me and said that he had received a letter from Song Baixi, asking him to lend two taels of silver to pay for the room at the inn and the meal at the restaurant, and promised that he would repay it a hundredfold if he became the top scholar in the imperial examination."
If you need to borrow two taels of silver, it means you have no money left.
The transfer fee is one thousand and two taels of silver.
There was even money raised from selling property and house deeds.
In less than a quarter, it was all squandered by Song Baixi.
Even if you use silver bills to burn paper, you can't expect it to burn so quickly!
"What did he do?" Xian Jin asked.
Aunt Zhong had a mocking smile on her face the whole time. "In the east, I bought a carriage. In the west, I bought a pottery figurine from an unknown dynasty. In the south, I bought several skinny horses. In the north, my wealth was exposed and someone set me up for a honey trap. All the remaining money was wiped out."
It’s so unfair!
It’s better to burn it as paper money!
The fire can also be used for barbecue.
The money taken away by the honey trap can only fatten the pockets of the criminals.
It's bad luck!
Xianjin was relieved about Song Baixi's experience. Looking at Aunt Zhong again, he felt that this young woman was able to take things easy and speak and act clearly. So he asked, "Do you feel embarrassed to come to the store to apply for a job now?"
She used to be a young lady, and now she is an employee of a merged unit.
This gap is not small.
Aunt Zhong shook her head calmly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? The young lady is the young lady of the Song family. When I do housework, people will only call me Sister Zhong - I am me!"
"I'm just afraid that you, Shopkeeper He, won't want me, and I'll have to go back to washing cloth. I don't have any other skills, but I'm not afraid of hardship, which is a big advantage."
