Chapter 008: Sending Iron Eggs to School

"Tiedan, do you want to go to school?" Qin Duo looked at Tie Dan's serious words, and then asked, all Tie Dan didn't want to think about was nodding, the corners of Qin Duo's mouth hooked up a smile, and then he pulled up Tie Dan and slapped all the dirty things on Tie Dan's body, "Then we'll go to school." ”

The next morning, Qin Duo got up early and went to the town with iron eggs to prepare for the teacher's ceremony, ancient times are not modern, paying money is to go to school, before apprenticing, but it is a long time to prepare some good meat, Qin Duo bought a piece of good meat, by the way, he spent some copper plates to buy bones and two catties of lean meat, the ancients liked to eat fatty meat, and they didn't particularly like things like lean meat and bones, so the price was also very cheap.

When Qin Duo bought meat at the meat stall and was about to leave, he saw that the bucket next to him was randomly thrown into the water, and no one cared about it at all, Qin Duo's head turned, and then he looked at the uncle who bought meat.

"Uncle Zhang, how do you sell this water?"

"Hey, but some worthless things, a hundred and twenty copper plates, you can just carry them."

There must be a bucket of pig intestines, kidneys, and pork lungs and pork belly, Qin Duo's face immediately brought a smile, and then he took out two strings of copper plates from his arms and put them on the table of the butcher, the butcher Zhang took the money, and Qin Duo let the iron egg stand there.

"Brother, you wait here again, I'll go buy a bucket." Saying that, Qin Duo just ran away quickly, Tie Dan just stood there quietly, looking at things very seriously, Zhang Butcher glanced at Tie Dan, looked at Tie Dan's thin and small appearance, and thought of the rumor, but he laughed.

"Who said that this little girl and child can't live when they leave home, I see, this day is getting better and better, this Qin Erya, I used to look a little different, but now it seems that it is really different."

At this time, a woman happened to pass by Zhang Butcher's stall, and after listening to Zhang Butcher's words, she laughed. "What you said is wrong, but this Qin Erya has the help of nobles, so it is good, if you rely on this little girl, I am afraid that even the door of the landlord's house will not be able to get out."

Butcher Zhang stopped talking, the woman also snorted coldly, and quickly went away, Qin Duo came back soon, and he didn't know where he brought a cloth bag, but the purse was bulging, obviously it contained a lot of things, Qin Duo smiled and poured a bucket of water into the bucket, and thanked Butcher Zhang, and the sister and brother carried the things towards home.

Tie Dan looked at the cloth bag on Qin Duo's body, his eyes looked over from time to time, Qin Duo looked at Tie Dan's appearance, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, you can see it when you get home." ”

Originally, the two pillars of incense were the way to go, because carrying a bucket was enough to go into the water with more than ten catties, so the two of them were stunned for an hour before returning to the house in Qinjia Village, at this time the sun was just rising, Qin Duo put down the things, and then carried the purchased wine and meat in the basket, and took out the condiments in the cloth bag and handed it to the iron egg, the iron egg looked inside, but saw a stack of straw paper, a piece of ink, and a brush and an inkstone, These things are very expensive, Tie Dan has seen them when he went to the town before, but he didn't expect Qin Duo to say that he bought them, Tie Dan had a smile on his face, and then he looked at Qin Duo, but his eyes were moist.

"Men don't flick when they have tears, what are you crying about, you will study hard for your sister in the future, come back with a champion exam, glorify your ancestors, and let your sister follow you to enjoy the glory and wealth, what do you think?" With a smile on his face, Qin Duo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for Tie Dan, and then said.

Tie Dan nodded, but walked towards the school with Qin Duo, Qinjia Village is a big village and there are many people, there are one or two thousand people, so a school is built, although not every family's children come to study, but the more solid families also send their children over, and they are more or less reading and writing books.

Qin Duo walked through the door of the school with iron eggs, looking at this simple school, Qin Duo sighed, she had never been to school here, but she didn't expect that one day she would send her younger brother into such a school, all the way through the school, the school is a hall, there are seven or eight children sitting in it, talking there, Qin Duo passed the school with the iron egg, and then knocked on the door next to him, through the window, you can clearly see that there is a person doing something outside the door, Qin Duo knocked on the door, An old man with white hair opened the door, wearing a Confucian shirt, with a slight burden on his back, and when he saw the teacher salute in Tie Dan and Qin Duo's hands, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly opened the door.

"It's to send the little baby to school, come in, come in."

"Hello sir." Qin Duo pulled the iron egg and bent down to salute the old gentleman, the old gentleman's face immediately had a smile, as soon as the iron egg entered the door, he looked around very curiously, Qin Duo gently pulled the iron egg, and the iron egg immediately stood up and followed behind Qin Duo.

Qin Duo put the gifts on it with a smile, and the old gentleman beckoned Qin Duo to sit down, and made a cup of tea for Qin Duo, "But I sent your brother over to study." ”

"Yes." Qin Duo lowered his head, and then said very seriously, the old gentleman looked the iron egg up and down, and touched the beard on his chest from top to bottom several times with one hand, before he smiled and nodded.

"I look at the child, the roots are wonderful, it must be a good material for reading, and it will be able to make a difference in the future, maybe I will still be able to take the exam before going home, but I don't need to work so hard for a lifetime of farm work." The old gentleman said with a smile, Qin Duo was about to speak, but Tie Dan was the first to speak.

"I will come back in the future, glorify my ancestors, and let my sister live a very happy life."

Qin Duo looked at Tie Dan happily, and the corners of his mouth were also raised upward, but the old gentleman let out a long sigh, and then looked at Tie Dan with a smile.

"I hope you can remember that." Speaking, he looked at Qin Duo meaningfully, the two children of the landlord's family were separated from each other, and the whole village was spread, and the old gentleman naturally understood, in the past, Tie Dan often went to the back of the house to eavesdrop on the class, he hindered the landlord's face, and it has always been by Tie Dan, now the landlord's family is such a small child, no matter what, the family property will be his, although life is a little bitter now, but there is always a sweet time, but he didn't expect that the landlord's family left a few days just now, this child, It's just to go to school, it seems that everyone is saying that even a child has received the favor of Luyang Palace, and it's really true.

Qin Duo looked at the old gentleman with a smile, "Sir, my family's iron eggs are stubborn, please take care of Mr. in the future." Qin Duo said very sincerely, the old gentleman nodded, and then looked at the iron egg.

"That's right, Iron Egg, you go to the academy first."

Tie Dan nodded, and then went very happily, Qin Duo untied the purse from his waist and pushed one or two or four coins of silver in front of the old gentleman, these two or five coins of silver, but three seven-dollar silver naked, in ancient times, one catty was sixteen taels, the old gentleman looked at these silver nudes, but his eyebrows were raised, this silver nude is some rich and auspicious appearance, which are used by the wives of those big families on weekdays to reward the younger generations. It seems that the sisters and brothers of the Qin family must not have been taken care of by the Luyang Palace.

The old gentleman smiled and took the silver nude into his arms, "Don't worry, Brother Ling, I will definitely teach me well, and I will not let such a good seedling disappear from everyone." ”

"Thank you, sir, then." Qin Duo also had a smile on his face.

Coming out of Mr.'s house, Qin Duo's face had a happy smile, looking at the room behind the house, the corners of his mouth rose, but it was a perfect arc, in the future, the life of their sister and brother will get better and better.
