The girl who wears fast

Chapter 993 Imperial Examination Evil Granny (16)

"Is it true that the family has no money at all? Haven't you been doing embroidery work?" Han Ji lowered his voice and asked Zhang Luoyi.

Zhang Luoyi had a bitter face, and shook her head numbly and tiredly: "It's really gone. My mother's birthday was last month. I couldn't go back empty-handed to celebrate her, right? So I spent some money on gifts; after that, I fell ill One, need to spend money to treat the disease, and I don't have the energy to continue to do embroidery work...the family has to buy rice, flour, oil and salt..."

"Then what should I do? I haven't got Shuxiu for next year." Han Ji frowned and said unhappily.

But Zhang Luoyi lowered her head and didn't answer. If it was before, she could still gently and considerately say to her husband: It's okay, I still have some dowry money.

But now she has no way to say that, because after Han Ji went to study at Qingyang Academy in the county, her dowry money had already been spent, and she finally realized the difficulty of breaking a penny in half and spending it in half. She finally understood why her mother hated iron and scolded her at the beginning, and it was a fool to spend money on men, but it was too late.

Han Ji has been studying at Qingyang Academy for more than a year, and there is still one and a half years before the time for the examination, and Zhang Luoyi doubts whether she can continue to do embroidery work for her husband to study.

"Sister-in-law, I really have no choice." Zhang Luoyi replied in a low voice. She used to love her husband so much, but now she is so disappointed in him. If he is really so smart and talented, why can't he even earn his own education? So, it depends on her, a weak woman, to work hard to support him?

Feelings will wear off in the day-to-day hardships and hardships. Poor couples are sad. When you live to make money every day, then you have no way to enjoy the happiness that feelings bring to you.

"Then, can you borrow some money from your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Han Ji finally said this with shame. Look up, but if he doesn't borrow money from the Yue family, then he will have to suspend his studies, but now there is only more than a year left before the next Juren examination, it is already very tight, if he is unable to further his studies due to lack of money at this time , that would probably ruin the scientific expedition, he didn't want to take such a big risk.

Hearing his words, Zhang Luoyi suddenly raised her head to look at Han Ji, the astonishment in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Han Ji turned his head away, not daring to meet her eyes, but he put his arms around Zhang Luoyi's waist, softened his tone, and said, "My lady, I know this will embarrass you, but if you I can't continue studying in the academy. I will definitely fall behind others by a large margin in the next Juren examination. If I fail the exam, I have to start all over again. Do you want to continue living the hard life of the past year? I am also doing it for our own good. It will be fine when I pass the exam, and I will repay what I owe my parents-in-law a hundredfold..."

Hearing his words, Zhang Luoyi felt very familiar, paying back a hundredfold?Isn't this what he said when he saw himself taking out the dowry money to comfort himself?

Zhang Luoyi is no longer the naive girl she was when she was newly married. She suddenly blushed and said to Han Ji: "I bought a cheaper gift for my mother's birthday last time. My sister-in-law secretly said that I really am Poor relatives in the countryside, who came to beat the autumn wind... Now you want me to borrow money from my parents? If my sister-in-law finds out, I don't know how ugly it will be for me!"

Han Ji tightened his hands and hugged her tightly: "My lady, I know you are wronged, but this is for our future. When I become a Jinshi and become an official, your sister-in-law will kneel down to curry favor with you." , flatter you, let's bear with it now, shall we?"

Zhang Luoyi wept silently. After crying for a while, she suddenly asked, "Master, why didn't you just borrow money from my father? Instead, you asked me to borrow it?"

The expression on Han Ji's face suddenly changed, he didn't know what he thought of, and he twisted for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, and said softly: "Because you are their biological daughter, they love you very much, you go Borrowing is relatively easy, but if I go to borrow it, it will turn into a very embarrassing situation, after all, the situation is complicated..."

When Zhang Luoyi heard his explanation, she didn't think it was correct, but only sadly realized the fact that her husband had left the trouble to her to solve.

But she couldn't refuse, so even though she was unwilling in every way in her heart, she finally went back to her natal family to borrow money.

"What? You said you wanted to borrow money for Han Ji's education?" Zhang's mother couldn't believe her ears when she heard her daughter's words, "Why do you want to borrow money? Han Ji has been studying for so many years, isn't it good?" classmate? Can’t he borrow money from his classmate?”

Zhang Luoyi defended Han Ji in a low voice: "If my husband borrows money from his classmate, how can he face his classmate?"

"Then he wants you to come back and borrow money from your natal family. Have you ever thought about how you will face your natal parents, brothers and sisters?" Mother Zhang asked sharply.

Zhang Luoyi was silent again. Seeing her like this, Zhang's mother suddenly asked, "Did Han Ji force you to come back to borrow money?"

"No! No! He didn't force me, he just persuaded me!" Zhang Luoyi quickly retorted. Although she was disappointed with her husband, she didn't want her mother to look down on her husband.

"You're still being stubborn with me!" Mother Zhang sneered, "How did he have the money to study in college before you married him? After you married him, he was admitted as a scholar, but he didn't have the money to pay for it." Shu Xiu?"

Zhang Luoyi explained nonchalantly: "That's because my mother-in-law used to do embroidery day and night to earn money for him to study, but later my mother-in-law was overworked, her health was poor, and her eyes were broken, so she couldn't continue to do embroidery. , and the cost of studying in the town is different from that in the county, and the cost of going to the county is much higher..."

"Hmph! After all, it's just that Han Ji has no ability. He has to rely on the women at home to work hard to study. It's really useless!" Zhang's mother saw through Han Ji's essence.

"Mother, don't say that. Your husband's ability is not in making money, but in studying. He is really talented. He will definitely be able to pass the exam. He will continue to pass the Jinshi exam. By then, you will be the mother-in-law of a high official. How wonderful." Zhang Luoyi cheered up and spoke for her husband, now that she is married to Han Ji, if she prospers, she will prosper, and if she loses, she will lose, what else can she do?
"You don't have to say good things for him." Mother Zhang sighed, "I don't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for me to agree to let you marry him."

Zhang Luoyi talked all the time at her natal family, and finally succeeded in borrowing money, but the Zhang family's impression of Han Ji as a son-in-law was worse than worse.

Originally, Wu Shichu didn't know that Zhang Luoyi went back to her natal family to borrow money, but when the couple were talking in the room, they quarreled for some reason. Zhang Luoyi cried and said, "I will never go back to borrow money again next time." ", and let Han Ji strive for himself, find a way to earn some money to subsidize, don't expect her to be a woman for everything...
