Chapter 11 I'm Not Stupid
"By the way, big brother, second brother, I also brought back some delicious food!"
Completely unaware of the disdainful looks from his two brothers, Xu Laosan placed the small bag he had been carrying on the stone table.
The bundle was opened, revealing several oil-paper bags inside.
However, before Xu Laosan could open the oil paper package, he was interrupted by a surprised greeting.
Wang, who had been staying in the room, appeared at the door.
The surprised "husband" instantly attracted all of Xu Laosan's attention.
"My lady, I'm back!"
When he saw Wang, Xu Laosan immediately left his two brothers aside, walked towards Wang excitedly, and pulled Wang into the room affectionately.
"My lady, I brought you a gift!"
"Really?"
Wang was even more surprised when she heard what Xu Laosan said.
But the next moment, Wang's expression changed slightly and she said, "Husband, the money you gave me to buy a gift..."
"It's okay, my husband can make money now!"
"Besides, this isn't something I bought."
After this portrait incident, Xu Laosan's reputation for his brilliant brushwork and painting skills became known.
In the future, there will inevitably be people who will ask him for help, and the fee they receive from those who ask him for help may not be that much, but it will definitely not be too little.
However, Xu Laosan had already made up his mind that this kind of portrait painting should only be done occasionally.
He still needs to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible.
After all, once you have achieved fame and honor, the meaning of many things will be very different.
Xu Laosan might have been clever, but his vision was limited and he was a bit clueless. But after this portrait incident, Xu Laosan's horizons were broadened, and he now had a clear plan for his future.
…
In the main room, Old Mrs. Xu looked at the five silver ingots that Old Mr. Xu placed on the kang as if they were treasures, and her mouth was wide open in shock.
"Wife, the third brother has made great progress!"
Since Xu Laosan showed his talent for studying, the Xu family had spent a lot of money on him. However, this was the first time Xu Laosan had ever given money to his family.
The most terrible thing is that the money Xu Laosan brought back this time, not only did not make up for the expenses of his studies over the years, even if it was not enough, it was not much different.
"No wonder people say that books are the golden house!"
Mr. Xu was really emotional.
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mr. Xu and said, "Master, go call the third son over. I have something to ask him!"
"What are you asking?"
Mr. Xu asked casually.
Old Mrs. Xu glared at him, obviously not wanting to give him an answer.
Old Master Xu grumbled a few times, but still stood up obediently and went to call Old Third Xu.
…
In the east wing, Xu Lao San was being affectionate with Wang Shi. On Wang Shi's head, there was a pearl and emerald hairpin. This hairpin was one of the extra rewards given by the old lady of that noble family!
In addition to the hairpin, there is also a jade ring with quite good water content.
It was just a jade ring, and Xu Laosan was planning to give it to his mother.
When it comes to filial piety, Xu Laosan is absolutely outstanding.
Of course, Xu Lao San also prepared gifts for his biological father, Mr. Xu, which were the delicious food in the outer bundle.
At first glance, Xu Laosan's attitude towards his biological father and biological mother is very different.
But strictly speaking, what Xu Laosan did was the best.
Because in Xu Lao San's eyes, his father, Old Master Xu, was a stingy old man. If Old Master Xu prepared other things for him, not to mention praising him for being filial, he would have been very grateful if he hadn't hit him with a note.
"My dear, don't worry, I will definitely pass the high school entrance exam!"
"Next year, I will definitely make you the scholar's wife!"
Xu Laosan gently hugged Wang and made a promise solemnly.
Wang was so happy when she received the hairpin brought back by Xu Laosan and heard his promise.
It is said that Mr. Xu was urged by Mrs. Xu to call Mr. Xu San. When he arrived outside the door and heard the movement in the house, the old man was instantly startled and slipped away in minutes.
Eavesdropping on this matter is really not what a father-in-law should do. Bah, he just happened to encounter it, it’s not his fault!
