    The days after arriving in Yuzhou Mansion were more comfortable than Cheng Jinyue expected.  However, there were also things that made her uncomfortable.  That is, she can no longer go up the mountain to catch game in exchange for money.

    Although there is no shortage of money in her small treasury, Cheng Jinyue still does not want to sit back and rest.  Therefore, she had to think of another way to get money.

    But for the time being, Cheng Jinyue has not thought of a suitable way and is still in the planning stage.

    "This is for you." Xu Mingzhi said, placing the redwood box in front of Cheng Jinyue.

    "Huh? What is it?" Cheng Jinyue asked curiously, looking at the mahogany box on the table.

    Xu Mingzhi did not answer the call and allowed Cheng Jinyue to open the mahogany box.

    "Silver?" Cheng Jinyue had also given Xu Mingzhi money before, but in the form of banknotes.  Now Xu Mingzhi gave her a box full of white money.

    "You keep it." As he spoke, Xu Mingzhi handed Cheng Jinyue a small wooden box.

    The small wooden box is much smaller than the mahogany box and looks inconspicuous.  Cheng Jinyue had just finished counting the five hundred taels of silver in the mahogany box when her attention was distracted by the small wooden box.

    "What is this?" Cheng Jinyue opened it and was surprised to find that it contained not only the deed of the house where they lived, but also the deeds of two street shops, as well as the deeds of Uncle Wu's family of four.

    "Where did you get so much money?" A wooden box already contained a lot of money. Adding to it the deeds of two street shops, Cheng Jinyue really doubted how much Xu Mingzhi was worth.

    "The house and street shop were bought with the two hundred taels of silver you gave me. The deeds of Uncle Wu's family of four were also bought with your money." Xu Mingzhi said truthfully without any concealment.

    " Leaving aside the two hundred taels of silver given by Cheng Jinyue, Xu Mingzhi's net worth is indeed only the five hundred taels in the mahogany box.  There will definitely be more in the future, but it has not yet been settled into Xu Mingzhi¡¯s hands.

    "Keep it all for me?" Cheng Jinyue asked, hearing the implication of Xu Mingzhi's words.

    "Yeah." To Xu Mingzhi, gold, silver and property are just external possessions.  If he wants to, he will definitely earn more in the future.

    "Then should I tell my parents the truth?" Xu Mingzhi gave her all the money, which proved that he did not spend her dowry money indiscriminately.  For Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, even if Xu Ming knows that he will not explain the specific situation, Cheng Jinyue can help explain it.

    "No need." Xu Mingzhi did not deliberately want to hide Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu, but so much money was undoubtedly a huge burden for Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu.  The two elders are already old, and I am afraid that they will have trouble sleeping and eating because of this.

    "Then I'll buy some clothes for my parents." Knowing that Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu were both very simple old people, Cheng Jinyue nodded and said instead.

    "Okay." Xu Mingzhi knew that he was not as good as Cheng Jinyue in taking care of all the details of the home, but he was willing to leave the home to Cheng Jinyue.

    "There are also elder brother and sister-in-law. When will Mr. Wang come home? Isn't it convenient for you to bring some things back to Xujiacun?" In fact, when leaving Xujiacun, Cheng Jinyue thought about whether to leave some money for Sister-in-law Xu.  But after a second thought, she gave up the idea.

    I also knew that Sister-in-law Xu would not accept the money she gave her.  Moreover, Grandma Xu said in front of the whole family that the big house, the third house and the fourth house are now indistinguishable from each other, and there is no allowed to have any involvement in money matters.

    Cheng Jinyue neither wanted to embarrass Sister-in-law Xu nor make Grandma Xu unhappy, so she planned to buy some gifts and send them back to Xujia Village after arriving in Yuzhou Prefecture.

    "Wang Xu will stay in Yuzhou Prefecture for half a month. You prepare slowly, and then let him take him back to Xujiacun together." When it came to asking Wang Xu to bring gifts back to Xujiacun, Xu Mingzhi had no objection and replied.

    "Will Young Master Wang help with the Shiweixuan matter?" Cheng Jinyue knew that during the few days they came to Yuzhou Prefecture, Wang Xu would come to Xu Mingzhi to report almost every day.  Presumably Wang Xu has already told Xu Mingzhi about Shiweixuan.

    "Wang Xu has approached Shiwei Xuan, and Shiwei Xuan has promised not to use my name arbitrarily in the future. However, Shiwei Xuan recently invited two more scholars to become the leaders of the poetry meeting." Xu Mingzhi's expression did not change, and he told the truth frankly.  The latest news he learned was, "One of the two scholars is named Cheng and the other is named Mei."

    "My natal father and Mr. Mei?" As far as Cheng Jinyue knew, there were only a few scholars in the town.  The surname Cheng is undoubtedly Cheng Qingyuan, and the surname Mei is undoubtedly Mr. Mei.

    "Yes." Xu Mingzhi was not surprised that Cheng Qingyuan would become a guest of Shiweixuan.  But Mr. Mei actually agreed to this?  Xu Mingzhi?Dad, you know it too.  He is simply not as good as me.  But now I have been pulled down a big step by Wang Xu, and I really can't wait any longer.  "

    I remember that Wang Xu once came to Cheng Qingyuan's private school to study. However, because Wang Xu was too clumsy, Cheng Qingyuan directly concluded that this child would never become a great person in the future, even his four-year-old child.

    If it weren¡¯t for the amount of money given by Wang Yuanwai, Cheng Qingyuan would not have accepted Wang Xu as a student in the first place.

    But what made Cheng Qingyuan even more angry was that although he clearly disliked Wang Xu, it was Wang Xu who took the initiative to leave his private school.

    Because he lost a large sum of money from the Wang family, Cheng Qingyuan was very worried about Wang Xu, and directly told the outside world: Wang Xu would never be able to pass the exam for a scholar, not even a boy student.

    The results of it?  Wang Xu is now not only admitted as a boy student, but also has a great possibility and hope of being admitted as a scholar!

    Such a fact is really a slap in the face to Cheng Qingyuan, and it also insults his reputation.

    Cheng Qingyuan felt terrible when he thought that once Wang Xu passed the scholar examination, he would be on an equal footing with him.

    Comparing this mood with Cheng Luyi¡¯s frustrations on the scientific expedition road, Cheng Qingyuan was even more irritable.

    "Didn't I ask someone to buy you the test book compiled by Xu Mingzhi from Yuzhou Prefecture? It's of no use to you at all. Xu Mingzhi's talents and knowledge are all fake and not worthy of belief at all." Originally, Cheng Qingyuan was indeed right.  Xu Mingzhi had great expectations, after all, Wang Xu had learned from the past.  Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to ask someone to help him return the test booklet from Yuzhou Prefecture.

    However, even after looking at the government examination question booklet, Cheng Luyi still failed the government examination.

    Therefore, Cheng Qingyuan no longer believes in Xu Mingzhi.

    "Dad, I lent the government examination question booklet to my classmates to read. They all passed the exam, but I was the only one" When I think of those classmates who only took the exam successfully after reading the government examination question book compiled by Xu Mingzhi in less than three days.  Being born in middle school, Cheng Luyi felt extremely aggrieved.

    But no matter how aggrieved he was, he couldn't go against his conscience and say that Xu Mingzhi's test booklet was useless.  Just because, thanks to the vigorous publicity of his schoolmates, the government examination question book compiled by Xu Mingzhi is selling very well in the town and is very popular among students.

    " Moreover, Cheng Luyi also heard that even the gentlemen from Yuzhou Fuxue praised Xu Mingzhi's excellent knowledge, which Cheng Luyi couldn't help but not believe.

    "They just got lucky." Cheng Qingyuan curled his lips disdainfully and sneered at the classmates Cheng Luyi mentioned.

    Cheng Luyi was taught by Cheng Qingyuan, and Cheng Luyi¡¯s classmates are undoubtedly Cheng Qingyuan¡¯s students.  In Cheng Qingyuan's eyes, the knowledge of those students was too superficial and not worth mentioning at all.

    "That is to say, the test questions this time are indeed simple, and they are lucky. Otherwise, how could they pass the exam as a child student?"  It's all nonsense.

    "Even if it's just bad luck, it's a fact that they passed the Tongsheng test. Dad, if I fail the Tongsheng test next time, it will be your face. People outside will not say that my son is too stupid, but will criticize you, Dad.  My talent and learning are not good enough, and I can't even teach my own son well. Are you sure you want to let me continue like this?" Cheng Luyi would not go to Xu Mingzhi if there were other opportunities.  However, he really had no other way out.

    Cheng Qingyuan's expression changed instantly.

    Cheng Luyi is right.  In fact, there is no need to wait for the results of the next government examination. Now more and more people have asked Cheng Luyi in front of him why he failed the government examination repeatedly.

    He can¡¯t even teach his own son well, so how can he teach other students?  In the past few days, students have come to him to quit the private school.  If there are a few more Wang Xus, he is afraid that he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the town

    "Dad, I want to go to Yuzhou Mansion to find Xu Mingzhi. He is my brother-in-law, so he should help me." Seeing Cheng Qingyuan's looseness, Cheng Luyi said matter-of-factly.

    Cheng Qingyuan was silent for a long time.  Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Go, you must go!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
