Houfu Key Class

Although the wool still comes from the sheep, this money is considered to be paid by the old lady. But Xu Wan thought that it could almost be considered a birthday gift. At most, she could give him another gift on his birthday next year.

Just as she was thinking this, a maid came from outside to report that the little devil wanted to see her and was waiting in the yard.

Xu Wan was like seeing a ghost, and said to Cuizhi: "Doesn't he usually just barge in and yell?"

Cuizhi was also a little confused: "Yes... yes..."

How come Master Cheng has become so polite after not seeing him for a while?

She remembered that Baili Weihong, the etiquette teacher, would not officially teach in the class until the day after tomorrow.

Xu Wan thought: "Eighty percent of them have something to ask of me, otherwise he would not be so honest."

After fighting with the rebellious son for nearly half a year, Xu Wan knew the little devil too well.

"Let him in, it's cold outside at night."

"Yes."

The little devil was brought in by Cuizhi, staring at Xu Wan with a pair of big eyes, a little embarrassed and a little uneasy. He said awkwardly: "You, you haven't slept yet."

Xu Wan smiled and found a chair to sit down, motioning him to sit down too: "I'll go to bed in a while, what's wrong, do you have something to talk to me about?"

It was rare for the mother and son to get along so peacefully. The atmosphere was weird and awkward. Cuizhi took people down and let them talk alone.

The little devil was probably traumatized by her. In his mind, there was only her side that was ruthless and difficult to communicate. He was afraid that he would be rejected as soon as he opened his mouth, but he and his brother needed money very much.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

A real man can bend and stretch.

He brainwashed himself silently in his heart, and then changed the subject and asked: "I, I just want to ask, I have made such rapid progress in my studies recently, do you also agree?"

Xu Wan glanced at him and said truthfully: "Agree."

The little devil breathed a sigh of relief and began to be less nervous. He continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Well, then I have made such rapid progress, won't you give me some rewards? My grandmother also knows to give you two big rewards, that is, 50,000 taels and 100,000 taels."

The old lady said it in front of him at the beginning, so he knew these two numbers.

Xu Wan smiled slightly and understood.

It turned out that this kid wanted to ask for money.

She said: "Well, that's the case. Why, do you want me to share some with you? It's not impossible. If you do well in the boy's exam and can be in the top three in three years, I will reluctantly reward you with 10,000 taels of silver."

When the time comes, the task of educating the rebellious son will be completed, and the money of the Marquis's Mansion will be spent by this kid at will. The 10,000 taels will not come from her pocket. Xu Wan didn't feel bad about drawing this big pie.

The little devil got anxious when he heard it: "No, your goal is too far away. I have to wait for three years. I will be poor after three years!"

"How to do it? Tell me." Xu Wan also wanted to see what he could say.

It's been five months. Let me see what level you are now.

The little devil hurriedly said: "I think rewards should be realistic and develop steadily. The process of getting into the top three is too long, and it is easy to lack motivation in the middle. You need to add a few more rewards and take down the 50,000 yuan, so that I can help you achieve your goal better!"

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows slightly: "You help me?"

The little devil: "..."

He was too serious about fooling around. How could he even say such a thing.

He and Xu Wan are mortal enemies. How could he help her?

But if he wants her to agree to increase the monthly salary, he has to speak to her heart and make her move.

The little devil, who knows how to please people, clenched his fists and struggled for a while before continuing: "We call this a win-win situation, okay?"

Screw his mortal enemies, my brother is the most important.

I will get the silver first, and then I will be mortal enemies with her.

The little devil, whose body was forced to succumb but whose mind was not, thought so.

"Oh, win-win, you know this?" Xu Wan said thoughtfully, "Then tell me, what kind of reward should I give you?"

Zong Jincheng heard that it was finally the highlight he was looking forward to, and hurriedly said: "Set goals, set silver, and set it for each stage! For example, I will take the twelve-year-old test next month. If I pass the list, I will give 50 taels, if I enter the top 50, I will give 100 taels, and if I enter the top 10, I will give 200 taels! Then there is the test for the children's class, which is super super difficult. Even Luo Chen and Qin Shi from the North Academy of Hanlin can't get in. If I can get in, you will reward me with 1,000 taels!"

Xu Wan: "..."

This kid really talks a lot. Such incentives are indeed useful in the short term, but the silver is too high, which will lead to him having no motivation to continue to make money after he has enough money to spend.

Xu Wan is an adult, and would want the 50,000 taels to spend the rest of his life, but the little devil is a child who can't think that far ahead, and with the status of the grandson of the Marquis's mansion as a guarantee, he doesn't care about the 50,000 taels of silver at all.

At the moment, he should only want the 1,000 taels.

But once the 1,000 taels are in hand, he will be very uncontrollable again.

Xu Wan asked him: "You don't lack food or drink, what do you want 1,000 taels of silver for?"

Of course, it's to buy a house for his brother's family to live in.

Houses in the capital are very expensive.

But Zong Jincheng promised his brother to keep it a secret, so he would definitely not tell Xu Wan the truth.

So he lied: "Of course I want to pay off all the money I owe you as soon as possible, and then go out to eat and drink, and enjoy the comfortable life that I haven't had in the past five months."

After saying that, he was afraid that Xu Wan would misunderstand him for spending money recklessly, so he quickly added: "But you don't have to worry about me spending money recklessly. I have learned from my brother how to live a good life and I won't mess around."

After saying that, the little devil stared at Xu Wan's expression, observing whether she was unhappy or dissatisfied, but this woman was really boring. She was either smiling or expressionless on her face, so he couldn't tell even if he wanted to observe her words and expressions.

She was more difficult to deal with than the Liu family in their Xu family.

Xu Wan said, "I'm sorry, you didn't convince me."

The little devil: "!!"

This woman with a heart of steel who is stubborn and unyielding! !

He knew it wouldn't be that easy! !

Zong Jincheng was so angry that he stood up from his chair and was about to turn hostile.

Xu Wan said at this time: "But you have been doing well recently. I wanted to wait until your birthday tomorrow to tell you, but since you are so anxious to get the money, I will tell you in advance. I plan to give you an extra ten taels of silver every month starting from this month. You don't have to pay me back for now, you can spend it yourself. How about it, do you want it?"

Zong Jincheng was not happy at all after hearing this, but even more angry.

Ten taels, she only planned to give her ten taels.

What can ten taels do? He can't even buy a kitchen!

But even so, it can't be rejected for free. If you save up, you can still save up a small kitchen!

The little devil said with a fierce face, "Yes!"
