Chapter 30 Market Research

Xu Xi looked at the piece of paper.

This is an admission notice. The admission time written on it is two days later. It also states that the college can apply to live on campus or live at home. If you live on campus, you need to pay ten taels of silver, and the bedding will be uniformly allocated by the college. The college adopts

There is a ten-day break system, with one day off every ten days. Students who live in dormitories can only return home during the ten-day break.

Xu Xi thanked her mother-in-law and left with Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi before showing Xu Yongyi the admission instructions.

Xu Yongyi read the above content, asked the two of them to get on the mule cart, and then asked: "Sister Xi, what are your plans?"

Xu Xi shook his head: "Let's discuss it after we go back."

She would like to live on campus, not only to avoid the entanglement of the Hou family, but also to build a good relationship with her classmates.

These classmates are all carefully selected by the school. They have excellent character, IQ, and EQ. No matter what they do in the future, they will be promising. Being able to make friends with them will undoubtedly be a huge asset.

But in the situation of the Xu family, sending three children to school has already drained the family's wealth. How can they spend another twenty taels of silver to allow her and Xu Xue to live in school? She has a bad conscience if she is allowed to live alone. She is not Xu Xue now.

The family has a child. It is shameful to use the money left by Xu Yongzeng and his wife. How can she only use it and leave Xu Xueluo?

So this matter is really a bit difficult to handle.

If the Hou Mansion has recognized her now and given her money, then she is not hypocritical. But hasn't she recognized her yet? This matter is completely different from the original plot, and there may be changes in the future. Pian Academy

Money will have to be paid here in the future. Whether it is the Marquis Mansion or her own money, nothing can save her.

Therefore, whether they can live there or not depends on the subsequent arrangements of the Hou Mansion. She now hopes most that Xu Yongyi and his family will move to the county, so that she can find a way for them to make money.

After clearing her mind, she said to Xu Yongyi: "Uncle, I don't live in the academy anymore, I live at home. But it's not Xiaorong Village, but the house in the county."

She looked out the car window: "Let's not rush home now. Let's let Uncle Qian find a place to stop. Let's walk around the county and see if we can find a way to make money."

Xu Yongyi only felt that she was talking like a child.

He has been working in the county for many years, thinking about ways to make money every day but can't think of any way. Xu Xi, a little girl who has not experienced much in the world, can think of ways to make money just by walking around like this?

But he didn't want to throw cold water on Xu Xi. Anyway, it was a happy event for the two of them to be admitted to a women's college. They went shopping and bought some things as a celebration.

The three of them got out of the car and started walking on the street.

Although Xu Xi has the memory of the original owner and is no stranger to ancient markets, this is the first time she has seen it with her own eyes, and everything she sees is novel.

However, I don’t know whether it’s because the county isn’t lively enough or because business in ancient times wasn’t prosperous enough, so there aren’t many people on the street.

"Uncle, are there usually so many people on the street?" she asked.

"That's not true." Xu Yongyi said with a smile, "There are gatherings on every fifth and tenth day. There are so many people at that time, and it is always crowded when walking."

"Oh." Xu Xi nodded.

She walked around the shops on the street one by one, stopped to buy some snacks when she came across them, and invited Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi to eat together. Xu Yongyi didn't want to eat, and she didn't force it, but she and Xu Xue wanted to try it.

.

She didn't want Xu Yongyi to pay, she spent the pocket money that Mrs. Xie usually gave her.

The monthly rent for the house in the city was one tael, and Mrs. Xie would give her 500 yuan. However, the original owner did not leave the village and had nowhere to spend money. Mrs. Xie would buy new clothes and other things for her. Xu Xue

She must have some, so the original owner saved up all the money. After two years, he had twelve taels of silver.

Xu Xi originally wanted to pay for the two hundred cents paid for the exam, but Xu Yongyi and Xie refused. Xu Xi could only get his own share.

Xu Xue rarely comes to the county. Now she and Xu Xi walked around the streets and tasted so many snacks. They were so excited that they were hooked.

Xu Yongyi glared at her quietly: "Your cousin only has a few dollars in her hand. You spent a lot on this trip. Don't eat. You won't be able to eat when you go back soon."

Xu Xue stuck out her tongue, and when Xu Xi asked her to eat, she waved her hand and said she wouldn't eat.

Xu Xi couldn't eat anymore.

Although these snacks are not expensive, a sesame seed cake costs one penny, half a catty of mung bean cake costs eight cents, and a bowl of meat wontons costs five cents. Xu Xi wants to taste the taste, so he buys everything. Some only taste one bite, and the rest are wrapped in oil paper.

After walking around like this, the three of them spent a total of fifty or sixty coins.

Xu Yongyi carried a load through the streets and hawked in the countryside for a day, and could only earn so much. In the eyes of the villagers, their behavior today can be described as a waste of money.

What's more, the registration fee for her and Xu Xue's admission to the Girls' College cost four hundred taels of silver. The combined tuition for the next six months would cost the two of them 40 taels of silver. Once they are upgraded to Class C, the tuition will be even higher.

Already.

Now that she has no money to go out, even if she thinks the money is a necessary expense, she still feels pain after spending it.

Even without snacks, Xu Xi did not stop. She still went into every shop to look around and understand the progress of various industries in this era.

Finally, Xu Xi's footsteps stopped in front of a silver shop: "Let's go in and take a look."

Xu Xue quickly pulled Xu Xi's sleeve, winked at her, and whispered: "We don't have money to buy jewelry."

Xu Yongyi also had a troubled look on his face.

Although he did not hesitate to spend money on Xu Xi, but now the family has to support three people to study, which is a big expense. In addition to the tuition fees, there are also pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Even with the rent of twelve taels of silver a year in the county, it is still insufficient.

, where can I still have money to buy jewelry?

Theoretically, Xu Xi and Xu Xue were about to go to a girls' school. They should make some satin dresses and buy some affordable jewelry to avoid being looked down upon by their female classmates. But the family really didn't have the ability.

The few money Xu Xi had in her hand had to be taken care of for her future studies in the academy and other expenses, so she couldn't spend it all.

Xu Xi waved his hand: "I'm just going in to take a look." After saying that, regardless of the reaction of the father and daughter, he walked directly into the store.

Xu Xue and Xu Yongyi had no choice but to follow in.

"Girl, what do you want to see?" A waiter had already come up to him and asked Xu Xi.

Xu Xi looked around the store and saw the shiny glass inlaid on the counter. She sighed in her heart and then focused on the jewelry on the counter.

The jewelry placed on the first floor is naturally not of high value. They are all light silver jewelry and the styles are very ordinary.
