Chapter 146 On New Year's Eve, Qin Mu Arrives (1/2)



"Third Sister-in-law, if you're not worried and have enough money, just buy the shop."

You can put my name on the deed when the time comes, and you can keep the deed yourself.

I am the female resident, and the shop is registered under my name, which has no impact on me or Zhuangzhuang.

Even if I get married in the future, this will be my dowry, and it won't have any impact on my husband's family.

Chen Xiaomai has some money, but it's still a long way from buying a shop.

Besides, even if she had enough, she couldn't possibly spend it all.

After all, her three sons are of a certain age and none of them are married, so she has to keep some of them.

So, feeling dejected, she said, "Anyway, Master Chen will be teaching in our Chijia'ao for a full year."

Maybe we shouldn't go down the mountain to study at the private school this year.

"Let's save up more money this year, and it won't be too late to go down the mountain after Master Shen leaves."

Chi Yu immediately poured cold water on her: "Third sister-in-law, that's true."

However, my sister-in-law also said that Master Shen plans to participate in the provincial examination this year, which is the autumn examination.

The autumn imperial examinations are held in August, and it takes quite a few days to get from our Chijia'ao to the prefectural city.

He has to get there in advance to get used to the environment.

I estimate that we will have to set off by mid-May at the latest.

This journey will take at least ten days to half a month, and by the time we reach the prefectural city, it will be June.

As far as I know, not all scholars are qualified to participate in the autumn imperial examination.

Before the autumn imperial examinations, there was another selection process called the civil service examination.

Only those who pass the provincial examination can participate in the provincial examination in August.

With Master Shen's abilities, passing the imperial examinations would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, even if he passes the autumn imperial examination, he won't be able to return until after September.

Since you're sending Asen and the others to school, are you going to let them study at home on their own for the next few months?

They are all beginners, precisely the time when they need instruction. Can we afford to delay like this?

The topic ended there, and the atmosphere in the kitchen, once cheerful, became somewhat oppressive.

All the silver that Chi Yu and Chi Qiao had earned was gone, and it was turned into gold jewelry for the children.

The space currently available contains the income from the general store during this period.

Chi Yu thought he would wait until after the earthquake to go down the mountain and buy land.

If things really don't go well with her third sister-in-law, she'll just sell some of her space and buy two shops.

She will then rent the shop to her third sister-in-law under the guise of her doing business.

When it comes to paying taxes, Third Sister-in-law and her family can pay for it themselves.

But even now, she still won't say anything.

Even if I really want to help, I should discuss it with my sister first.

My sister has studied the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom, so she must know more.

While the men of the Lao Chi family were busy with ancestral worship and the women were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Mu and Shen Kai, each leading a horse, appeared at Leap Tiger Cliff.

Shen Kai was exhausted and freezing. Even his covered face, hands, and feet were covered in frostbite, not to mention his eyes.

Qin Mu was also very tired, but wanting to get to Chijia'ao before dark, he could only muster his strength and squint as he carefully walked forward.

He and Shen Kai had already appeared at the foot of the mountain on the day before the Lunar New Year.

Because the mountains were blocked by heavy snow and the roads were not visible, they had to stop and rest frequently for their own safety and to protect their eyesight.
