Chapter 31 The Academy
Manager Tian looked at the family twice. The man kept his wife and children in the middle. Several small eyes looked around but held hands. The little girl was so steady and strange.
Just as we were about to go to the school, there were already many people gathering in front of us saying something.
The second uncle went up to inquire, and the others were waiting at the corner of a shop.
After a while, the second uncle returned to say that Liu Juren from Changting Township would open a new school hall, and a student would study for three taels of silver a year, and he would handle the pen and ink by himself.
A three-digit ounce seems inexpensive, but it is not affordable for ordinary families. In addition to a year of study and practice, there are also pens, inks, books and papers, which are also expensive.
If a family wants to support a student, they will have to pay at least five taels of silver a year.
This fee must be afforded by several laborers in the family, and they also have to eat slack and save money.
Now, under the conditions of the Yao family, we can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and there is not enough money to send the child to the school.
Ning Yue thought about it. If he sent four brothers to the tuition fee of 12 taels, he would save some money on pen, ink and paper. Now he has twenty-nine taels at home, and the remaining 12 taels are left for home use.
This has to be true that there is no other change. After paying tax on the family’s grain, they can only spend the winter and cannot receive the rice next year. During this period, they have to use the twelve taels of silver to eat and drink.
After thinking about it, if the villagers grow rice and fish together next year, there will be more and more things to encounter. They must know a few words. At least Ning Yue can know literacy, so you must be in the bright spot.
I gritted my teeth and found a way to make some rice in the "Qiankun Mansion". There will always be a way, and it will not make the whole family still hungry.
After inquiring clearly, he turned around and walked back. Ning Yue saw the shop next to him like a bookstore, pulling Yao Jiati's clothes and walking in.
This bookstore is not big, with two shops. On the left is the four treasures of the study, and on the right is a large bookcase with books on the wall.
The books in the bookcase are basically old. Except for the books on the top floor, the others are line-based, and the two lower layers are hand-copied.
Ning Yue walked to the shopkeeper and asked in a slight voice: "Hello, grandpa, my brothers are going to school. Can we buy a book?"
The shopkeeper looked at the little girl who was not as tall as the counter, and looked at you with bright eyes. She was so innocent and polite.
"When will your brother go to school?"
Ning Yue pointed his hand: "Over there, those are all my brothers!"
The shopkeeper looked towards his fingers, and there were six boys in a row, and the adults next to him looked at the little girl nervously.
Yao Jiati apologized like the shopkeeper: "Sorry, the shopkeeper, I'm disturbing."
The shopkeeper nodded: "Your children are all good. I want to study and practice a lot. You can buy a few handwritten copies there to use together. You can not use paper, pen and ink first. Learn first. Write with tree strips and write some on paper before you can write them. This saves a lot."
Yao Jiati hurriedly thanked him, not everyone would say this to him, and the shopkeeper should have said more because Ning Yue was soft-hearted.
Finally, the shopkeeper helped Ning Yue take a knife of yellow paper, an inkstone, a piece of graphite, and a book "Qionglin Youth School", a total of 300 texts.
It was impossible for Yao Jiati to have so many copper coins on him, so he went to find his grandmother. Fortunately, his grandmother brought a tael of silver slots, otherwise he would be a joke.
When leaving, Ning Yue smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "Grandpa, you are so kind, you will be healthy and live a long life, and everything will go well!"
The shopkeeper also smiled and said, "Grandpa promised you auspicious words!"
What the shopkeeper didn't expect was that everything he did in the future would be successful.
Looking at the pen, ink and paper in Yao Jiati's hand, the aunt wiped her eyes and was really going to send her baby to the school.
Although the eldest uncle said that it would cost a lot of money, there is no mother in the world who does not want her children to have a future.
The Ning family is the eldest grandson, and the Yao family has to rely on him to support the family. It is best to be able to read. Moreover, the Ning family is almost ten years old and it is a bit late. If you don’t go, you won’t be in a hurry.
Ning Mu's eyes even shone. He might have thought that there was still brother who could not go, and his eyes slowly lost their light.
Seeing all this, Ning Yue didn't say anything. Some things can only be believed by doing.
My grandma's eggs were replaced with salt, so she went to the butcher shop to see if there were any meat sellers, and bought some meat and fryed some oil.
In fact, Ning Yue wants to buy a lot of things, one is that she is young, and the other is that she has no money, so she can only do it.
Walking backwards, when passing Zuixianglou, Manager Tian happened to send someone away at the door, saying hello, asking someone to come in and have a drink of water, but the adults at home refused.
As a businessman, you know each other everywhere. You can still take the polite words from others to you seriously. You must be self-aware of your life. Ning Yue’s family can’t afford it now.
A bunch of farmers, are you willing to go in? Even if you are willing to, you don’t have any money, don’t you?
Just like a civilian in his previous life, can he enter that high-end consumer place in a dress of street stalls?
As soon as everyone took two steps, Ning Yue was hit with something on her head. When she looked up, she saw that the bearded man was sitting by the window waving at Ning Yue.
Ning Yue didn't say anything, and made a face-like look at him. After that, Ning Yue became depressed. What was he doing? He hadn't done such a thing for many years, and he was immediately overwhelmed.
After looking at the bearded man outside the window, he laughed loudly, attracting everyone's attention, and Ning Yue became even more depressed.
Ning Yue was so angry that she lifted her feet and left, Chun forgot that she was a child less than four years old.
Bearded: "That little girl, why are you doing so fast? Uncle invites you to have a snack?"
Ning Yue: You are a big head, you are a fool.
"Hey, the little girl named Yao."
Ning Yueyi turned around and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Beard, I'm bye to you."
Wave his hand, pull Li Niang and leave.
The people around laughed, so cute little girl.
The bearded man turned over and jumped out of the window, hugging Ning Yue: "You little monster, call me grandpa, I haven't gotten married yet, I'm younger than your father."
Yao Jiati rushed forward to grab Ning Yue, and Li Niang screamed and pulled her beard. The old, big, and small bearded beside her pounced on her, "Let go of Yue'er, let go of my sister", and it was a mess.
Manager Tian is full of black lines, and he will definitely kill that two-bye.
He hurried forward and grabbed everyone: "Mr. Yao, brothers of the Yao family, I am just kidding. Everyone goes into the back wing to sit, come on."
He said and pulled him, and even shook his eyes and pulled him into Zhong Gui.
The bearded man hugged Ning Yue and walked in. The people behind him could only follow him, and even winked at Ning Yue.
Ning Yue was even more angry and caught something from the "Qiankun Mansion" and smashed it to the point.
The bearded man felt a flash in front of him, and Ning Yue smashed the things in his hand and grabbed them in his hand.
"Oh, little girl, what are you?"
"Let me go, you bad guy, let me go"
"You can let go of you. Tell me what this is, and I will let you go, how about it."
"You bad guy, this is the carrot my dad gave me, the carrot."
Ning Yue raised her hand and saw that it was terrible. She was so angry that she took out this thing. There were ginseng and radish in the "Qiankun Mansion". She didn't pay attention and got it wrong.
Now I could only look at the bearded man with fierce eyes.
The ginseng in front of me has been for decades. I was treated as a carrot by this family and played with this girl. My bearded feels that the world is dizzy.
Bearded man: "Little girl, show me this, okay, uncle buys meat buns for you."
I had an idea in my heart, haha, the opportunity has come.
