Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 121 Surprise 2
After the family finished talking about this, they started to sort out the items they bought today, and tied Shuxiu Liuli with a red cloth.
During the Six Shuxiu Ceremonies, there was a small red purse containing five taels of silver, which was money for Mr.
The third grandfather said: "Old doctor Wu said that private schools in the city need five taels of silver a year for Shu Xiu, and we will pay Wenyuan according to this amount."
If you do not accept it, you will attend other private schools, so it will be easy for both of them.
If it was in my hometown, five taels of silver would be a huge sum of money, but now that the family has known to make a living, there is no harm in spending five taels of silver a year, the whole family doesn't mind.
The next day before dawn, the family wakes up and prepares to visit Shang's house.
Going to school in ancient times was a big event, so Gu Dashan, Gu Jinan, and even Gu Jinli all changed into new clothes As elders, they were all changed, the third grandfather also decided to go to Shang Xiucai's house.
Once they were ready, they set off with Gu Damu and Gu Dagui who had set up their stalls.
Surprisingly, Gu Dexing also came, and he said, "I have a stall with my second uncle and second aunt." Everyone in the family knows that
Gu Dexing wanted to adore Shang Xiucai as his teacher, so the third grandfather saw that Gu Dexing was going to follow him to the city On the way, I felt a little unhappy, but I did not stop him, I did not stop him, I just pay more attention to it along the way.
Gu Dexing did nothing, but as he passed by Shangjia Village, he stood by the roadside and looked at Shangjia Village, then followed Gu Dagui and his wife to the city to set up a stall.
The third grandfather brought Gu Dashan and the others to Shangjia Village carrying gifts.
Carrying the burden of tofu on the road, Madam Chen said enviously: "Sister An is really lucky. He had worshipped Shang Xiucai as his teacher, and he was bound to become a scholar in the future. This is Guangzong Yaozu's problem. Our family can come out anytime." It'll be fine if you become a scholar."
Hearing Chen's words, Gu Dexing's face was extremely ugly, he lowered his head, shouldered the burden, and walked quickly towards the city.
Gu Dagui glared at Chen Shi, and scolded him in a low voice: "You****, no one would consider you stupid if you didn't speak." Is
you have no idea what Brother Xing is thinking? I keep talking about it, isn't this piercing brother Xing'er's heart?
Madam Chen didn't think so, but felt that Brother Xing was petty, so he wouldn't accept Shangxiu if he didn't accept it. Shangxiu was not the only one in Qingfu City who could teach. Xinggeer could go to another teacher's place as a teacher, but she could still learn.
Although he thought so, Chen did not say anything that made Gu Dexing unhappy.
...
Shang Xiucai knew that the Gu family would be visiting today, so he asked Ah Jiu to wait at the entrance of the village early in the morning.
As soon as the third grandfather and the others entered Shangjia Village, Ah Jiu looked at them and greeted them with a smile: "Master Gu, Uncle Gu, Big Brother An, Xiaoyu, "Gu, master asks the younger one to pick you up, go with the younger one, the master is at the house Waiting."
The third grandfather smiled and said, "Sister Lao will lead the way."
The four of them followed Ah Jiu to Shang Xiucai's house.
Shangjia village is very large, and because it is close to the city, it is richer than other villages.
Along the way, most of the houses I saw were mud and tile houses, and there were quite a number of blue brick and tile houses.As for the mud straw house, there were only about a dozen.
Unlike their Dafeng village, most of them were straw houses.
Shang Xiucai House is located at the end of the village, is a complex with five entrances, white walls and black tiles, surrounded by a lotus pond and flowing water. A piece of Xiangfei bamboo was planted outside the courtyard. It looks poetic and beautiful, and it doesn't look like a house in the countryside at all.
The third grandfather and the others knew that the Shang Xiucai family was a landlord, but they were still shocked when they saw the Shang Xiucai family enter the compound five times. It was fitting that old doctor Wu said that Shang Xiucai would not accept disciples for Shuxiu. .
Shang Xiucai was already waiting in the front yard, when he saw the third grandfather and the others, he got up to greet him: "Uncle Gu, Big Brother Gu, you are here." Then he looked at
Gu Jinli and said, "Xiao Yu is also here."
"Uncle Shang." Gu Jinli greeted Shang Xiucai with a smile.
Gu Jinan cupped his hands and called out, "Master."
Shang Xiucai looked at Gu Jinan, who was wearing new clothes, with a straight figure like bamboo and a clear face, and nodded in satisfaction: "Come in."
A group of people entered the front yard Behind the main hall, a servant girl came in to serve tea.
After the servant left, Gu Dashan immediately handed Shu Xiu's gift to Gu Jin'an, and asked him to give it to Shang Xiucai.
Shang Xiucai paid no attention to anything, so he immediately accepted Shu Xiu's gift and said: "I don't have strict rules here, just say one thing, say one thing, do not do anything that destroys nature, if you do bad karma, I will not tolerate it here. Easy to sweep the floor and out."
Gu Jinan immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, I won't dare to do anything that goes against the laws of nature. I will concentrate on my studies to achieve something."
Shang Xiucai did not say much. , just saying teaching time: "Every day at the end of the day, I will go to class at the end of the day and go home at the end of the afternoon."
Counting, Gu Jinan only had two hours of classes a day, and the time was not long.
This time arranged specially by Shang Xiucai for Gu Jinan, he knew that the Gu family was busy with work, and Gu Jinan had a lot of work to do at home every day, so she was only allowed to attend classes for two hours a day so she could have time to help with homework.
Knowing Shang Xiucai's strenuous efforts, Gu Jin'an said gratefully: "Students, thank you, sir."
This way, he can not only learn, but also help the family, and his guilt will be reduced.
The third grandfather and Gu Dashan respected the scholars, especially Shang Xiucai, and thought that he was a person of deep knowledge, so naturally he could say whatever he wanted, no matter what he wanted, and there will be no second word.
After talking about Gu Jin'an, Gu Jinli took out a bottle of soybean oil from the basket and said to Shang Xiucai, "Uncle Shang, this is the soybean oil I made." Shang Xiucai was surprised: "Soybean oil? You really made it?
"
Gu Jinli nodded, opened the lid of the jar, took out the wooden bowl from the basket, poured soybean oil from the jar into the wooden bowl, and said to Shang Xiucai, "Look, Uncle Shang, look, it's soybean oil.
" Step, seeing the yellow liquid in the wooden bowl, he could not hide his excitement. He took the wooden bowl, dipped his finger in soybean oil, twisted it, and said kindly: "This is really oil. " ”
He leaned closer to the wooden bowl, smelled it, and found that the oil smelled of beans, so it seemed like it was indeed soybean oil.
Shang Xiucai was very excited, and immediately called Ah Jiu: "Ah Jiu, take this soybean oil to the kitchen and cook some dishes, do it now, hurry up." Seeing her master's excited gaze, Ah Jiu was a little confused
. but keep picking up the jar, going to the kitchen, and cooking with soybean oil.
Shang Xiucai asked Gu Jinli more about soybean oil.
Gu Jinli focused on the oil yield: "Twenty catties of soybeans can produce four catties and two taels of oil." "
Four catties and two taels!" Shang Xiucai was very excited, and quickly counted the numbers.
