Chapter 400
Zhao Jin'er had already admired her husband, and now she admired her so much that she was even more impressed.
"My husband, if you go back to the academy and study hard, there will be nothing else to do."
"Cough cough." Pei Feng coughed a few times, "Sister-in-law, Brother Qin is excellent, I know, but you don't have to criticize someone in front of me, right?"
Zhao Jiner blushed, "Brother Pei, I don't mean that..."
They just want to express their admiration for their husbands.
Pei Feng said firmly, "That's what you mean."
Zhao Jiner, “…”
This is a forged person, so change the topic quickly.
"By the way, I remember you told us that the first place prize was 200 taels, the second place was 100, and the third place was 50. Why are there three hundred here?"
"The bonus is indeed only 200 taels, but someone added 100 taels and bought this painting at the evaluation site."
Zhao Jiner was so shocked that she widened her eyes, "Will anyone buy it?"
Pei Feng smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you draw well, you will have people who are keen to buy and collect it. Song Huizong's eagle and Zhao Zi'ang's horse, I don't know how many wealthy businessmen and powerful people are rushing to collect it!"
Zhao Jiner opened the new door, "Mom, we Asu can sell a painting of 100 taels, so we can draw it out easily. Draw one a day, draw one day, rest for one day, 365 days a year, draw one hundred and eighty pictures, that is one, one, one..."
I counted on my fingers for a long time, but my fingers were not enough...
Pei Feng said for her, "Ten to 18,000 taels."
Zhao Jiner was almost fainting, "Tener than 18,000 taels! What other medicine fields should we plant?"
Looking at her serious financial affair, Pei Feng couldn't help laughing, "Brother Qin, I don't envy you anymore. My sister-in-law wants to treat you as a cow."
Zhao Jiner scratched her head and said in a vague way, "How can painting be more tiring than plowing oxes?"
Pei Feng explained, "Why aren't you tired of painting? You have to make composition, color matching, brains, and hands-on things, which are even more tiring than reading! Look at me, you can't draw anything. Even if you draw it, you may not be able to sell it. Even if you sell one or two, you may not be able to sell each one and work hard!"
Zhao Jiner thought it was indeed.
One day, I saw Qin Muxiu standing in front of the desk. Except for holding the pen in his hand, he never took a step forward. He also had to bend over and stare at the rice paper. He stared at it for a long time without blinking his eyes. I guess the painting was drawn at that time.
Really tired.
"Then let's farm. I can't help with painting. We can match the farming with men and women." Zhao Jiner said seriously.
Qin Muxiu was amused by her cute little appearance, "When I have time, I will draw two more pictures and sell them to buy you jewelry and buy you new clothes."
Zhao Jiner waved her hand, "No, no, it's so tiring to draw, let's farm honestly. I have enough clothes to wear, and I have no room to wear jewelry."
Qin Muxiu patted her head docilely, took out a fifty tael from the silver note and handed it to Pei Feng, "The poetry and painting competition is all about Brother Pei's help. You can accept this."
Pei Feng was stunned for a moment and immediately turned his face down, "What's wrong with you, you always want to give money? I have hands and feet, and you don't need your help."
Qin Muxiu didn't realize that he was ungrateful and said calmly.
"Even if you can do some small work from time to time now and barely make a living, what after the autumn examination? As soon as the autumn examination is over, you have to prepare for the palace examination. At that time, the top talents from all over the Dongqin area have to peel off their skin just by reviewing. Can you still spend your energy to do small work? Grandma Pei gritted her teeth and provided for you for ten years of hard work. At this critical moment, you should put away that little bit of poor spirit. Accept it when you should receive help, and review it with all your strength. If everything is ready and finally fails due to poverty, Grandma Pei will not be able to live in peace if you see it in the sky."
Zhao Jiner also advised, "Brother Pei, just accept it! It's only fifty taels. When you become a high-ranking official tomorrow, a month's salary will be enough to pay us back."
Pei Feng was enlightened after hearing Qin Muxiu's words.
In addition, Zhao Jiner was so playful that he thought that if he shirked his responsibilities, he would be ignorant of ruling.
After taking the silver note, he said solemnly, "I will definitely repay you if I don't thank you for your kindness."
Zhao Jiner and Qin Muxiu didn't think about asking him to pay it back, but they knew that if they said they didn't need to pay it back, they would definitely not ask for anything.
Then he nodded in a tacit understanding, "Remember to add interest."
