Chapter 21: Good Things Come in Pairs

A month after the results of the township examination were announced, Yun Lan planned to send five talents to Qingshan Academy, the best academy in Fucheng. www.biquge.info Yun Lan paid all the tuition fees for the first year of the five people, but with Yun Yuan, Yun Fei and their families, the tuition fees for the next year, unless these two families encounter any difficulties, she will not care.

Yunyuan and Yunfei both expressed their understanding and were very moved.

Yunyuan: "Thank you, Sister Juni, this is as it should be, you have helped me a lot, and you have paid a lot of money and energy for me." In the future, when I go to the academy in Fucheng, I will study hard, strive to get a scholarship, and I will also take the job of copying from the bookstore. ”

This means that even if his family does not support him, he will work and study hard to earn tuition and living expenses for himself.

Yunfei also promised: "Sister Junior, don't worry, I will do wood carving, and I have made more than a dozen pieces in the past month." I heard from the master that my craftsmanship is quite good, and if I sell it in Fucheng, I should be able to sell it for a good price. When I have free time, I also go to copy books to earn some living expenses. ”

The family also said that they would support him, but he didn't want to rely on them, his father and mother naturally really wanted to pay for his schooling, and the brothers didn't say anything against it. However, the second sister-in-law and the fifth brother and sister, if they don't say dozens of prickly words a day, it seems that they can't live.

Compared with the first sister of junior high school, these relatives are like distant relatives who are very estranged. Even, as if they were enemies.

Yun Lan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you have the idea of self-reliance and self-reliance, I am relieved!" You have to remember one sentence: rely on the mountains to fall, rely on the flow of water, rely on everyone to walk! Only by yourself can it be permanent and the best policy! However, it is also the right path to do everything without one-sided efforts, with the proper help of external forces and the right amount of help from people who really want to help you. When you are in trouble, you can talk to me, and I will not ignore it! ”

"Yes, thank you, Sister Juni!" Both nodded gratefully and respectfully agreed.

In private, Xiao Hai talked to the two of them separately: "Don't have too much psychological pressure, and don't work too hard, when you come to the academy to study, you still have to focus on studying." Don't stay up late, don't pick up the hard work you can't do, if you really can't raise enough tuition and living expenses, you can borrow money from your first sister. In the future, when we have passed the examination and have the ability, we will return the money to the first junior high school sister. And, remember her kindness, and if you have the opportunity, you will repay it. ”

These words were instructed by Chu Yi to say Xiaohai.

With her current ability, in fact, she can directly sponsor the two of them to go to school, until they pass the Juren Jinshi exam. It's just that she has seen too much of Shengmien's fight against Mi Qiu. Moreover, I also want the two of them to experience it, so as not to become nerds who don't know how to read books.

Not to mention Yunyuan and Yunfei, even Xiaohai, Shi and Xiaoshu'er also plan to take some copying work after they go to Fucheng. First, earn a little pocket money; Second, if you copy books, you can also increase your knowledge and learn from the past.

Yun Lan made two sets of new clothes and shoes and socks for five people, one of them, which were new from the inside out. Even the hair bands and hairpins are brand new, and they must keep up with the average level of the students of Shangfu City Academy, so that they will not be too far behind.

He also prepared gifts for the mountain chief and the master: spiced peanuts, lion's mane mushrooms, fruit wine, dried fish, and potted plants. He also asked Yunfei to prepare five pen holders made of bamboo, and carved elegant calligraphy and paintings, making his carvings famous.

"If this carving is known by other masters and students in the future, they will definitely ask you to buy it, so that you don't have to go out and sell it yourself!" Yun Lan said to Yun Fei.

Yun Fei's eyes were shining, and his face was full of joy: "Okay, I'll prepare well, there's still a month before school starts, and it's still too late!" ”

Sure enough, the chief and the two masters were very happy when they received the gifts.

These two masters, one is the "head teacher" of the five people, and the other is the "teaching director". They are all about thirty-five years old, upright, and quite stylish. Regarding this point, it was naturally Luo Xiangbei who helped inquire and arranged it properly.

In other words, Yun Lan knows someone who has a lot of power and connections, that is, Luo Xiangbei and his mother. In addition, it is the mountain chief and several masters of the county academy, as well as the parents of two classmates and friends of the five stone brothers. These two classmates, one of whom is a wealthy businessman, and the other whose father is the chief bookkeeper in the yamen.

These people, she just does some New Year's gifts during the New Year's holidays. If the other party is sincerely invited to the house as a guest, she will be invited, but she does not deliberately go to the relationship. Anyone else, she didn't climb.

Standing under the banyan tree at the east end of the village, looking at the direction in which the five people were gone, the second uncle couldn't help frowning slightly: "The first day of junior high school, you said that Yunfei is twenty years old, not young, it's time to get married!" At his age, he is not very talented in reading, and if he studies for three years, he may not be able to pass the exam! You say, is it necessary to send him to school? ”

Yun Lan said: "Second uncle, I sent the five of them to study in Fucheng, and the original intention was not to necessarily admit all five of them to be admitted to the Juren. Rather, let them increase their knowledge and experience, and accumulate contacts. I believe that if you go to Fucheng Academy for a year, the five people who come back will definitely be impressive. After studying in the academy in Fucheng for three years, even if it is a year, when I return to our Feng County, there will be a academy that will be happy to recruit them to be masters! ”

The second uncle is also a little knowledgeable, his face looks much better, and his sadness and worry quickly dissipate: "First year, what you said is true!" You kid is a pistachio, every time you are in a bad mood, talk to you for a while, you can make the second uncle feel a lot better! ”

This kid is quite understanding. Moreover, what she says is often very reasonable. As it turned out later, it was.

The old patriarch's eyes were full of smiles: "That's right, this kid in the first year of junior high school, but the lucky star of our Yunjiaao!" ”

Such a good child, Tang Rui's kid is really blind! The people of the Tang family are really blind! In the future, there are those they regret!

He muttered to his second uncle behind his back: "It's not easy for this child to be in the first year of junior high school, let's talk to the people in the clan, if she has any difficulties in the future, everyone can't look at it!" ”

In many villages, people are not allowed to divorce or are transferred from divorce to marry daughters, and stay in their parents' homes for a long time. He was a little worried that one day, when he passed away, someone would embarrass her and the two children and kick her and the two children out.

The second uncle nodded vigorously: "Well, that's the reason, I know." When I go back, I will first tell the people in my family to treat the first year of junior high school as a family in the future! ”

Luo Xiangbei added another son, and specially asked the steward to send an invitation and invite the Yunlan family to be guests.

Yun Lan and eldest brother Mu went to Luo Mansion with gifts.

Luo Xiangbei's mother, Tan Chenghong, personally greeted her at the gate.

"Oh, the first year of junior high school, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're finally here!"

She warmly hugged Yun Lan.

The gifts Yun Lan brought were a silver collar, a set of children's clothes, a pair of tiger head shoes, a silver lock, and a large bag of mountain goods.

Tan Chenghong was very happy, and Mrs. Luo was also very happy, adding a little sincerity to Yun Lan's smile.

After lunch, the guests took their leave. Tan Chenghong insisted on pulling Yun Lan and refused to let her go: "Let's stay for one night and then leave!" ”

Yun Lan smiled and refused: "No, Yun Kai and Yun Qing are still young, don't leave my mother!" ”

Tan Chenghong was very disappointed: "Alas, I have a lot to say to you!" ”

The bright eyes were full of pleading.

Yun Lan patted the back of her hand soothingly: "I can stay for another hour, if Aunt Hong has anything to say, please feel free to say it!" ”

Tan Chenghong twisted and said with a red face: "On the first day of junior high school, there is a man who asks me to kiss, do you think I should agree?" ”

"Huh? That's a good thing! Yun Lan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "However, it also depends on the character, and you can't ask for it if you are too poor!" Why don't you tell us about him? ”

Tan Chenghong was overjoyed: "Could it be that you don't object to me remarrying?" ”

Yun Lan: "Why object?" It's normal to remarry with divorce! Not to mention you, if I meet the right one, I will definitely remarry! However, it is better to lack than to abuse, the character must be good, and the other party must be sincere to you! ”

After a pause, he added: "You can't have concubines, you can't go to Fengyue places, and you can't gamble!" Also, there must be no violent tendencies, and you can't hit women. ”

After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh herself.

This seems to be a little too high? Not to mention that in this ancient society, even in modern society, there are many men who can't do it!

Tan Chenghong nodded with a red face: "Well, that person meets these requirements, although his family is not very wealthy, he is still a wealthy family." Under his own name, there are fifty acres of fertile land, a fish pond, a three-entry house in the county seat, and a shop. By the way, he is the owner of Jiang's cloth shop, Jiang Yun! ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Jiang!" Yun Lan couldn't help but smile, her face was full of sincerity: "Aunt Hong, Uncle Jiang is a very good person, you can agree!" ”

"I know, next time he asks me to kiss, I will agree!" Tan Chenghong's face was full of shame and joy.

If she doesn't object to the first year of junior high school, then she has nothing to worry about.

On the way home, Dingdong reminded her again: "Master, you have promoted a beautiful marriage and rewarded 500 points!" ”

Last time, five years ago, she supported Tan Chenghong and Li, and was rewarded for expanding the space by ten square meters.

Yun Lan's mood soared.
