Chapter 384 - 384 384 To Separate and Leave the family

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: To Separate and Leave the family Chapter 384: Chapter 384: To Separate and Leave the family “What other secrets about me have you not figured out?”

She asked Ya Molian irritably.

“Huh.”

Ya Molian chuckled, raising his hand to rub her head gently.

“So, my point is, you can use the excuse of making dried fruit to move up the mountain. During the day, your grandma and the others will surely come up to help you, and at night, when Lin Changhong comes back from school to stay here, it can keep everyone’s mouths shut.

Also, you can get Zhong You to learn how to make dried fruit from you.”

Lin Caisang: “…”

He had everything planned out.

Indeed, this was a great idea, otherwise Zhong You, as an independent individual, if he got involved with her, it would inevitably leave people with room to gossip and she would have to be careful.

“Still, it won’t work.”

Lin Caisang shook her head, thinking of another layer.

“Brother Changfeng is about to go to the county to take part in the autumn imperial examination, if I open a shop at this time, it would hold him back.”

Liang Kingdom was strict with scholars. To participate in the autumn imperial examination and then the spring imperial examination required layers of selection. If one’s family was engaged in commerce and their academic achievements were not outstanding enough, they would directly be eliminated.

“So, this is the other thing I wanted to say — you and Changhong should separate from the family,” Ya Molian said.

“Separate from the family? That’s impossible!”

Lin Caisang shook her head. Upon hearing the words “separate from the family,” she knew immediately that it was impossible. How could her grandmother allow her and her older brother to separate from the family? If she dared to propose separation, her grandmother would surely cry and make a scene, and she didn’t want to take that risk.

“You’re giving me a tough problem.”

“Don’t you think that this is the best solution?” Ya Molian asked her back when he heard her say this.

“Do you think it’s that simple for Lin Changfeng to participate in the autumn imperial examination? If the family doesn’t have some wealth, even if he becomes a tribute student, going to Jian’an City next year for the spring imperial examination, even if nobody dares to bribe the examiners, what about networking and socializing?

Dining with a few friends, staying in a hotel, or perhaps getting to know some high-ranking officials and sending some small gifts, each requiring money. Sang, these are not small amounts.

Are you going to give the money you… earned from doing tasks to Lin Changfeng?”

He raised his eyebrows and asked her.

Lin Caisang fell silent. Indeed, it was not that easy to gain a foothold in Jian’an City, let alone stand out among so many tribute students.

“Then… let me think about it.”

“Okay.”

Ya Molian’s lips curled up a little, giving her a gentle response.

“You think about it first. If you need the shop, I’ll prepare it for you.”

“Okay.”

Lin Caisang nodded thoughtfully.

Maybe, the way Ya Molian talked about was the best way at present, wasn’t it?

…

Lin Caisang had always been the type to act as soon as she had an idea. Once she decided to open a shop, she didn’t want to wait a bit. But how should she talk about this with her family?

She needed to think carefully about this.

Should she talk to Grandpa first? No, if Grandpa talked to Grandma and they didn’t coordinate well, wouldn’t it cause chaos in the family?

The problem with Lin Caihe had already put everyone in a bad mood. If something happened here…

So, she had to talk to Grandma first about this, explain all the pros and cons, and then have Grandma accompany her to talk to Grandpa.
