Alright, wake up and stop thinking about nonsense.
The money you're spending now is all from the Xue family.
You're not a scholar yet, so you can't control the Xue family right now.
As you've seen, it's quite difficult to mobilize the entire clan to support your exam preparation, as we previously agreed.
If you anger the Xue family right now, Miss Xue can simply refuse to marry you.
If you don't get married, then you'll have to find a way to pay back all the money you've spent.
That must have been several hundred taels, right?
"How will you repay it then? By selling books or land, or by borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates?"
Although Qi Mingyu was already consumed by anger, he was incredibly pragmatic when it came to money.
The main reason is that, in addition to suffering from poverty in his childhood, he also had enough of the bitterness of being penniless and having nowhere to ask for help after his divorce from Chi Yu.
Having finally established a connection with the Xue family and no longer needing to worry about money, why would he want to make things harder for himself?
Therefore, he took two deep breaths, then suppressed all his resentment, looked at Qi Maosheng, and said:
"Brother Maosheng, you're right. I misunderstood for a moment."
To be honest, I owe Ms. Chi a debt. I've always thought about making it up to her one day after I pass the imperial examination.
Seeing that she was going to remarry in less than six months, she felt uneasy and her anger overwhelmed her thoughts.
I've calmed down now, don't worry, I won't have any more inappropriate thoughts.
For me, the most important things right now are:
Firstly, my parents are in good health, so the old house can be built smoothly.
Secondly, he would marry Mengyu and then diligently study to prepare for the imperial examinations in August.
Qi Maosheng felt a little relieved after seeing that what he said was logical and reasonable.
He is the future patriarch of the Qi clan, and naturally, he values the clan's development above all else.
Currently, only if Qi Mingyu passes the imperial examination and becomes a Jinshi can the Qi clan be exempted from land tax and corvée labor.
Without corvée labor and taxes, it would be difficult for the Qi clan not to prosper.
So, upon hearing this, he patted Qi Mingyu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't blame me for being nosy."
To be honest, I'm doing this for your own good, so just keep that in mind.
After all, you're just a scholar now. In my opinion, Chi's temperament is too fiery for you.
As you said before, once Chi returns, she can only be a concubine.
I think she wouldn't even want to be the wife of a scholar who was about to become a scholar, let alone a concubine.
Perhaps the mountain people think differently from us.
There are plenty of good girls in this world. If you're truly capable in the future, you'll have plenty to choose from.
Qi Mingyu smiled but did not reply when he heard this.
But what she was really thinking was that she had to be beautiful, give him a son, treat him well, and also have good fortune for her husband. In the entire Great Chu Kingdom, there was probably only one woman like her, the Chi family!
However, he did act impulsively just now. As his cousin said, he is only a scholar at the county level.
Given her status, the Chi family would have looked down on her before, and they certainly wouldn't look down on her now.
Perhaps she wouldn't even look down on a Juren (successful candidate in the provincial examination), only a Jinshi (successful candidate in the imperial examination) would do.
That's fine, he can go find her after he passes the imperial examination.
As long as she is not married, there may still be a chance to take her as a concubine.
Right now, she's only engaged; who knows if what she's saying is true or false?
Perhaps he heard that he was already engaged and said that on purpose?
Chi Yu was unaware of Qi Mingyu's thoughts.
If I knew, I probably wouldn't be able to resist spitting water at him and then replying with the words "You're dreaming."
At this moment, the carriage she was riding in was already close to the city wall.
Looking at the dilapidated, cracked city walls, she and her sister couldn't help but exchange a glance.
