Chapter 66 Another one to make money
Thinking of his second brother giving Nian Ruyi three hundred taels of silver but not giving her, Qin Yuerou hated Nian Ruyi to death. She looked disdainful, "It's so ugly. Which girl's boudoir is not Rosa's curtain or silk and brocade. She thought that she would be the daughter of a daughter by laying a few pieces of valuable cotton cloth?"
Jiang Yuemei curled her lips, "Rosa's curtain is so expensive. Where can I afford it? My sister can't afford it."
Qin Yuerou suddenly turned annoyed and blushed, "I can't afford it, I didn't say I'm going to hang up."
Not to mention Rosa's curtains, they were even better silk. She wanted to buy clothes, but her mother couldn't bear to give her money.
Her mother said that this family was supported by the salary of her father and elder brother, and she had to make careful calculations for every penny, otherwise she would not even be able to afford rice, let alone meat.
Therefore, she hurried to come to her after she learned that Nian Ruyi had 300 taels of silver.
"Cousin, I'm here because I have something to discuss with you." Thinking of his purpose, Qin Yuerou smiled gently on her face.
Nian Ruyi frowned, "What's the matter?"
Qin Yuerou glanced at Jiang Yuemei and said, "A few days later, there was a competition in the Imperial Academy. I signed up for a dance. But after I finished the registration, I realized that I didn’t have the right clothes, so I wanted to borrow a piece of silver from my cousin to buy clothes?"
Haha, sure enough, another one came to make a fortune.
Nian Ruyi spread her hands and said, "Sorry, I won't borrow money."
"Cousin, no matter how you say, we are cousins, you don't want me to be ugly in the game, right? Otherwise, when the game day, I will take you to Taixue to watch. Haven't you always wanted to go to Taixue to play?" Qin Yuerou tempted him with her.
Tai Academy is the Women's College in Nanxing Kingdom. Any girl who is over five years old and who has money at home can be sent to Tai Academy to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and cooking, horse riding and shooting.
Tai Academy is divided into three levels: aristocratic class, high school class, and flat school class.
The students in the noble class all came from royal relatives, respected marquises, and noble families, with tuition fees of 800 taels of silver per year.
The students in the high school class are all from high-ranking officials and celebrities from the business class, and the tuition fee is 300 taels of silver a year.
The students in the Pingmen class are all girls who are not rich in their families like Qin Yuerou and Jiang Yuemei who can afford to study. The tuition fee is fifty taels of silver a year.
Nian Ruyi's original deity also went to Tai Academy when she was five years old. However, after Qin Zhengming left in the eighth year, Zheng did not allow her to study and asked her to come back to help with housework.
I like to go to school and want to learn horse riding and hunting. Every time I see Qin Yuerou and Jiang Yuemei going to the Imperial Academy, she is envious in her eyes.
There was even one time when she knelt down and begged Zheng to ask her to go to the Imperial Academy, but Zheng said that there were many people at home who had meals and few people who made money. The salary of Qin Zhengming and his son was not enough to support a family, and they had no spare money to give her to school.
And that scene happened to be seen by Qin Yuerou.
After that, every time she came back from school, Qin Yuerou would walk around Ruyi last year, talk about the fun things in Taixue, and enjoy her envious gaze.
"Cousin, you are not a student from the school. I want to take you in, but you have to take risks. I think that one hundred taels of silver is still less, so I should lend me two hundred taels." Qin Yuerou said with a smile.
