"This month, my sister-in-law will be busy with the embroidery shop, my father and eldest brother will be busy with rice planting, my second brother and Jinxing will be working in the government office, and Jinyan will be studying. Shanshui and I will be in charge of the stall, and with Master Liang's help, it will be fine. We still need to hire someone to help with the stringing. I'll calculate the wages at the end of this month, and we'll have another meeting next month."
"My goal is to earn enough money this month to cover the initial expenses for the tavern. You can also tell me about your own goals."
Cheng Yue arranged the general affairs of this month and said.
"I, I, I want to say it!"
Cheng Jinxing has been in an excited state since he came back. He couldn't help but want to speak at the dinner table just now, but when he heard Cheng Yue say that there would be a family meeting in the evening, he held back.
Now he really can't bear it anymore.
"You little brat, you've only been at the government office for a few days! What do you have to say? Are you really planning to take the martial arts exam?"
Cheng Shun glanced at Cheng Jinxing and said.
"Yes, Grandpa! You're so smart! I really plan to take the martial arts exam this fall. I've found a master in the government office, and let me tell you, my master is amazing..."
Cheng Jinxing talked a lot, and everyone except Cheng Yue and Gu Xuelan was amazed.
Even Cheng Wu, who was unaware of the inside story, felt that Cheng Jinxing was extremely lucky. Lord Ji's personal attendant actually took a fancy to him.
Although Cheng Yue and Gu Xuelan were not surprised, they did not expect that Master Ji's approach was so seamless and natural that it was impossible to tell it was his work. They just thought that Cheng Jinxing was lucky to have found a good master.
"Hahaha, Jinxing, you must listen to your master from now on and don't be naughty."
Jiang was extremely happy to hear that her second grandson, who had always been naughty, had a master who taught him things and could take the military examination.
In fact, she treated all her grandsons equally, but when Cheng Jinxing was disliked, her words were useless, and Cheng Shun and Gu Xuelan would not listen to her. But she treated Cheng Jinxing, Cheng Jinyan and Cheng Jinning the same.
After all, she was the one who raised all three grandsons.
A year after Gu Xuelan gave birth to Cheng Jinxing, she went to work in an embroidery shop.
Without Jiang's patience in taking care of the children at home, Gu Xuelan would not have been able to rise from an embroiderer to the manager of an embroidery shop so quickly.
Cheng Shun wasn't as gentle as Jiang. After Cheng Jinxing finished speaking, he said, "You little brat, you're always lazy and indolent. Don't irritate your master or you'll be unable to do your job at the yamen! Hahaha, that would be hilarious!"
"Grandpa! How could you hit me like this!"
Cheng Jinxing felt like he was being poured a bucket of cold water, and he was in a bad mood.
"How do you say it's a blow? Am I wrong? Humph, remember when you and Jinyan first entered school, the teacher said that you two brothers were equally smart and had a bright future. You can recognize words and memorize things much faster than Jinyan. But you can't sit still! You only recognize words and read books, but don't study the content properly. Practicing martial arts is not easier than studying literature. Can you bear it?"
Cheng Shun said with disgust.
"Why can't I stand it? Grandpa, let's put it this way. If Jin Yan can pass the exam next year, I will definitely pass it too! If I do, you won't be partial to me in the future!"
Cheng Jinxing was so angry that he dug a big hole for himself.
