Chapter 240 You Are really Strong-minded, Brother
While he let out the words, he cupped one of his fists in the other hand, and said: "Brother Xiyuan, you are really strong-minded, and I can' t compare with you. "
Wu Xiyuan was speechless.
He was not strong-minded. However, his wife was still young.
Of course, Wu Xiyuan wouldn' t say these words with him, who walked around him to reach and stand in front of his own desk, and asked leisurely: "Did you finish reciting all the texts today? "
And it hit Meng Yuchun at once.
Meng Yuchun howled,directly collapsed on the bed and said: "Why are people so different from each other? You will see your wife after school, while I should only stay at school and recite texts. What' s more, you have finished reciting them, but I didn' t. How poor I was! "
At the next moment, he crawled out of the bed, got close to Wu Xiyuan, and raised his hand at him, with his mouth open and teeth shown.
"Hurry up and take out the reciting secret, or I will be impolite for you. "
Wu Xiyuan laughed gently, standing against the chair, stared at him with a half smile, and said: "It may be easier for you to recite the texts if you keep daydreaming when the teachers are teaching us. "
Meng Yuchun suddenly became upset, pretending to let out a smile, straightened up and said: "You have found that. "
But he didn' t want to daydream, while it would be impossible for people to concentrate for eight to ten hours in a day.
"I didn' t want to be like that, but reading the classics all day made me faint. "
What Wu Xiyuan felt most proud was his self-controlling ability. And when he concentrated on one thing, he could listen to nothing but only focus on the classics.
Seeing Meng Yuchun was so upset, just like an eggplant beaten by frost, Wu Xiyuan seemed a little sympathetic for him, who sighed and said: "It is impossible for you to recite the texts like this, and you should understand them first, when you can succeed in reciting them with half effort. "
Meng Yuchun knew that he was just teaching him the skills, who hurriedly stood straight, made a salute to him and said: "Please teach me carefully. "
Su Jiuyue and Liu Cuihua lived in the inn for a night, and got up early the next day, who firstly went to the businessman to register the rental information, and then went to the Yue's Mansion.
Mrs Yue got up very early this morning, dressing up and making up well, and then wait for them at home.
The moment the porter came to tell her that Su Jiuyue and Liu Cuihua had arrived, she hurriedly went out of the mansion with the maids and aunties.
"Jiuyue and Sister Liu, you came here such early, have you had breakfast? I have asked the cooks to prepare breakfast for you, and would you like to have it before we go out? "
Liu Cuihua noticed that Mrs Yue had called her sister and been much friendlier to her.
Women from noble families were all proud, while Mrs Yue could be easygoing, who was really wise.
"Mrs Yue, you are too polite. We have had breakfast before going here. And if you were prepared, would we go out now? "
Mrs Yue was really eager to decide on the thing, in case that the others would take her treasure away.
She laughed brightly, and said: "Make yourself at home, Sister Liu. My family name is Li, and my parents called me Shaoying at home. You can call me Shaoying. "
Liu Cuihua agreed politely, when Mrs Yue continued: "I have asked someone to write a document, would you like to have a look at it yourselves? "
She passed the document to them, who was worried about that they couldn' t know the characters, so said: "I am not in a hurry, and you can find someone familiar to help you read it. If there is something unsuitable in it, we can correct it then. "

Su Jiuyue didn' t give up reading and writing these days, who couldn' t figure out something too complex, while could understand what was written in the document as there were all plain words.
There was only one clause in the document, which was just like what Mrs Yue had said. And she would even pay her ten taels of silver more per month.
She was quite surprised. She knew that the Yue family was noble, who might not lack of such silver. While nobody would think that he had got too much silver.
Liu Cuihua didn' t know characters at all, who saw the confused expression on the faces of her daugther in law, thought there was something wrong in the document, so asked: "Why? Sister Jiu, can' t you understand what was written? "
Su Jiuyue shook her head, looked at Mrs Yue at once, and said: "Mrs Yue, I have seen that I will be paid ten taels of silver, why? Will this be too much? "
Reminded by her, Mrs Yue seemed to remember this clause, who stretched out her hand to pat on the head, and said: "I was so forgetful. I have thought to told you about that, but forgot it at a moment. "
"The silver is what you deserve to be paid, who will teach embroidering, and go to the embroidery house every day. And it will be unreasonable not to pay you. "
Su Jiuyue frowned her slim brows, and said: "But ten taels of silver is too much. "
Mrs Yue laughed and said: "You are so honest. Who will be unhappy as being paid more money? Trust me, with such excellent embroidering skills, if you are invited to teach the ladies in the noble families to embroider, you will be paid as much as ten taels of silver per month. So take the silver with easiness, which you deserve. "
Su Jiuyue has calculated in her heart roughly, and found that she could make one hundred and twenty taels of silver per year, which was almost the yearly salary of an impeiral official of the third class. That' s marvellous!
She could never hid the happiness on her faces, since she felt really happy, and said: "Mrs Yue, you are really kind. "
Liu Cuihua also nodded and said: "Of course! "
Mrs Yue liked to cooperate with such honest and practical people like them, as when you were polite and kind to the others, the others would be polite and kind to you too. What' s more, ten taels of silver was not a large amount of money for such noble families as them.
There were over ten stores in the charge of her, as well as some country estates and forests. So ten taels of silver was nothing for her.
If Su Jiuyue could devote herself to helping her, it would be no problem to pay her ten taels more.
"You have read the document, and do you have something disagreeable to say? Don' t worry, and feel free to tell me anything you are not satisfied with. And we can discuss it later. "
Su Jiuyue shook her head and said: "Nothing, you have written a perfect document. "
Mrs Yue made a decision, and said: "Let' s visit the governor now, ok? "
The governor would work in the yamen in the morning, who could not be visited by nobody. However, Mrs Yue was a lady with a first-class honorary title, whose visit the governor wouldn' t dare to refuse.
Su Jiuyue and Liu Cuihua sat in Mrs Yue's cart, watching the fancy inner decorations, they were really overcautious, who were afraid that they would touch somewhere and break it with carelessness.
Noticing this, Mrs Yue talked with them about the sights and news she has seen somewhere, when the mother in law and daughter in law gradually relaxed.
When they reached outside the Governor's Mansion, Wang Guangxian knew that Mrs Yue came, and met them in person at the gate.
Wang Qiying was someone dilettante, who was ready to hang out with his hencemen with carelessness and casualness, while raising his head to see a familiar person getting out of the cart.
"Well, is it that... ? " He held the fan to knock on his own forehead, but couldn' t remember the name for long.
"Young master, whom did you talk about? "
