Gu Dashan's family didn't know what Shang Xiucai was thinking, they just thought that Gu Jinan wasn't good enough, so Shang Xiucai didn't accept him as a disciple, but Shang Xiucai was willing to teach Gu Jinan, and the Gu family is very grateful.
Faced with the gratitude of everyone in the Gu family, Shang Xiucai smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me, I am the perfect student. You can discuss it and choose a day to send Brother An to study at my school." The shopkeeper Tao invited the beggar to make
er's problem, with the handwriting of shopkeeper Zeng and Zou Xiancheng, it was better for An Ge'er to learn with him as soon as possible, so that the Lu family and Zou Xiancheng could be afraid and not dare to make any more dirty tricks against the Gu family.
"We'll take Ang to your house the day after tomorrow." Gu Dashan was so excited that he originally wanted to bring Ang to the door tomorrow, but thinking about the preparation of the confinement ceremony, he delayed the time for a day.
Shang Xiucai said: "Okay, then it's all right."
After talking about Gu Jin'an, Shang Xiucai took Ah Jiu and left.
Gu Dashan's family sent Shang Xiucai out of the house, and did not return to the courtyard until Shang Xiucai's mule cart disappeared.
Now some families no longer grind the spices in Gu Jinli's house, but one family took back two types of spices to grind, and then brought them to the Gu family to mix for Gu Jinli, who was the only one who had the spice, but the rest of the family soon learn that Gu Jin'an is going to learn with Shang Xiucai's thing.
The family members were overjoyed, and they all hoped Gu Jin'an would find a trick to protect them in the future.
Madam Chen was also very happy, but apart from being happy, she was also very unwilling, she grabbed the eight-year-old Gu Dewang and beat him several times: "You are worthless, you are not, and you were accepted into the school by Shang Xiucai with Brother An. Shang Xiucai only accepted Brother An, didn't he? Come back to grind the spices, miss."
Gu Dewang was afraid of Madam Chen, so he shrugged and ran back to grind the spices. He did not agree to go to school in his heart What was the point of going to school? The word was like an ant that made people dizzy, he still preferred to grind seasoning to make tofu.
Gu Dexing filtered the soy milk in Luo's house, hearing Chen's words, feeling extremely uncomfortable, feeling Chen scold himself, angrily tossing the half-filtered soy milk and running away.
"Sister Xing, where are you going? Have you not finished this job?" Shouted Gu Dafu carrying a bucket of soy milk, but Gu Dexing ran away without looking back as if he had not heard it.
Gu Dafu sighed, knowing that Gu Dexing wanted to study, but he was not accepted as a scholar, so what could he do?
Gu Dagui who was at the side said: "Brother, there is also a private school in this city, let's send Brother Xing to study."
They knew that Brother Xing wanted to learn. When he was in his hometown, his father placed great hopes on this nephew, he was sent to a private school to study at the age of seven, and he had to quit school until the dry season in the northwest.
But Gu Dafu knew that his son was on his way, and with Shang Xiucai in front of him, he would not go to another private school to study anymore.
"Let's see again," said Gu Dafu, and kept busy with the work at hand.
After Gu Dexing escaped, he did not return home until dark, fortunately he did not do anything stupid, he just pouted alone.
The next day, Gu Jinli did not go to the stall, but made tofu at home, and asked Gu Dashan to take Gu Jinan to the city to buy things.
They had many items to buy today, including gifts for Shang Xiucai, and pens, ink, paper, and ink stones for Gu Jinan to go to school.
There were not many scholars in the city, so there was a small bookstore on the back street, which sold pens, ink, paper, and ink stones, as well as some general books, as well as some, like the Three Classic Characters to Enlightenment, the Book of a Thousand Books. Classical Characters, and Analects, Song Books, and Rites.
Although the book type is few and the paper is still yellow, the price is not cheap, a classic book of three ordinary characters costs one tael of silver.
Gu Jin'an said: "Dad, I still don't know what my husband will teach me, so don't buy this book just yet, I'll talk about it after I meet my husband tomorrow."
After hearing this, Gu Dashan suppressed the idea of buying a book, and after the selection at the bookstore, he bought a pen, the cheapest ink stone, two ink bars, and a small amount of ink, and ten pieces of yellow paper He gritted his teeth and bought two more white rice paper.
Shopkeeper Tang from the bookstore knew Gu Dashan. This Gu family sells tofu. Recently, they often came to their bookstore to buy yellow paper, but this time they bought white rice paper. They could not help but curiously and asked, "Sister Gu , what happened this time?" I bought white rice paper, and it's not cheap."
Yellow paper is the cheapest, it costs fifty yuan per sheet, while white rice paper is expensive, it costs two hundred yuan per sheet, which is not something ordinary people can afford.
Gu Dashan said: "Sister An wants to go to school, so buy two pieces of rice paper for his own use. If you ask him to write an article, he can also use rice paper." Yellow paper is not good.
Shopkeeper Tang was greatly shocked when he heard this, The Gu Family had escaped from starvation and had the money to send their son to school.
"Then I really want to congratulate Brother Gu." Shopkeeper Tang said with a smile: "Which man do you pay your respects to? Did you come to study at a private school in the city?" Gu Dashan said: "I adore Shang
Xiucai from Shangjia Village, come to his house Go to study."
Shopkeeper Tang was really surprised, he did not expect Shang Xiucai to be willing to teach brother Gu Jia'an, this really ... He remembered the rumors in town, saying that a little girl from the Gu family saved the granddaughter of the regional captain, Therefore, she was taken care of by the county lieutenant.
And the son-in-law of the regional captain is not a scholar.
From this point of view, the rumors were true, and the Gu family was really lucky, protected by Jiang Xianwei and the monk Xiucai.
The smile on Shopkeeper Tang's face became stronger, and he said sincerely: "This is truly a happy event. Shang Xiucai had real skills. Your brother An can be taught by Shang Xiucai, and he will promise in the future." said
something Good words, when the last account was settled, the change was written off for them, and only one, two, or five hundred Wen were charged, and they would not accept any more.
In the end, shopkeeper Tang gave Gu Dashan a pack of dried celery wrapped in yellow paper: "You should buy a bunch of celery, this celery is indispensable, and nothing is fresh now, and nothing is fresh, but I have dried celery in my shop to spare, for you."
Gu Dashan was very grateful and took the dried celery.
Gu Jin'an was not the type of fool, he thanked the shopkeeper with a smile, and said some good things, saying some good things, before the father and son left the bookstore to buy another gift for Shu Xiu.
Gu Jinli made tofu and soybean oil at home.
Soybean oil is not difficult to make, just pick the beans, mash the beans, fry the beans, make a cake embryo, then squeeze the oil.
The beans were milled with stones a few days ago, and it is time to start frying them.
After she mixed the vinegar water for Cui and ordered six tofu pans, she made a simple stove with mud bricks outside the kitchen.Pour all the soybeans into the pot and saute slowly.
The nuts are pounded and the grain is small, making it easy to fry.After frying for a quarter of an hour, twenty catties of crushed soybeans are all ripe.
