Chapter 521: Zhang Zhidong and Huang San!
The conditions of the Huang Sanjia are placed in the Great Qin Empire, and they are definitely the key objects of care of the local government, but in the Great Jin Empire, the conditions of his family are not too bad, at least there is a place to live in the county, although it is a thatched house, but the land is valuable, if it is sold, it can be sold for five or six taels of silver, which surpasses many Jin people.
But you can't sell it, this is the 'country' that his father and mother have fought for most of their lives.
Because the family's income is stable, Huang San likes to read, so his father broke the bill once, and bought him a book, this book Huang San has been reading for three years, he can remember the ten thousand words in the whole book, and he can write it, but he can't read, I don't know what to read this word, he really wants to go to a private school, and there is a teacher to teach, so that he knows what these words read, what they mean, but unfortunately he has to pay fifteen taels of silver to go to a private school, which is only tuition, and he has to pay two taels of silver for the seat fee after teaching tuition, If you don't pay for a seat, you have to stand outside and listen to the class.
After paying the seat fee, you have to call five taels of silver for books and five taels of silver for pen and paper, and pay once a year, adding up to twenty-seven taels of silver!
In fact, the cost of books and pen and paper is very low, and now the printing technology is good, you can buy a book for ten dollars in the Great Qin Empire, and the cost of books and pen and paper for ten taels of silver is too high, but the Great Qin Empire and the Great Jin Empire cannot be the same.
The books and pen and paper of the Great Qin Empire were not monopolized by the family, and all the prices were very low, while the books and pen and paper of the Great Jin Empire were monopolized by the family, and it was precisely because of this that the poor could not afford to read, and only the rich could read them.
Not only books, pens and paper are monopolized by the family, but the private schools are also opened by the family, and the purpose of the family to open a private school is to make money.
In the face of high tuition, Huang San can only study at home, and from time to time to help his father work, Huang San knows very well, not to mention whether there is so much money in the family, even if there is, it is impossible to give it to him, after all, he still has two brothers, and he can't use the family's savings on him alone!
"Alas~"
Huang San sighed lightly, and continued to look at the books that he had read for three years, the pages of this book had been yellowed because of long-term reading, and the quality of this book was not good, some of the handwriting had been blurred, but Huang San did not dislike it, it would be good if he had books to read, his two brothers did not have books to read, they were all illiterate little farmers.
Belch.... He was also a small farmer who couldn't read big words, but he could write.
I can write, I can read words, but I can't read, and I don't know what the word means, this is the sadness of not going to school, there is a book for you to read, you don't know what this book is about, it's useless to just recognize and write, you have to understand, you can read.
Even if Huang San didn't understand and couldn't read, he also saw that it was dark, and he didn't put away the books until his father and two brothers came back.
"Oops, I'm tired~"
Huang San's father, Huang Shan, sat on a simple wooden bench and stretched his waist, his face was full of haggardness, he looked like a person of fifty or sixty years old, but in fact he was only thirty-two years old, as the so-called poor people's children were in charge of the house, and Huang San's mother Wang was married when he was fifteen years old, and he became a father at the age of sixteen.
When you become a family, the pressure will become greater, and when the pressure is high, people will age quickly, not only Huangshan is like an old man in his fifties and sixties, but also like the Wang family, although Huang San's two elder brothers are sixteen years old and one is fourteen years old, they all look like people in their twenties, and they are not immature at all.
This is the case with children of poor families.
"The child's father, hurry up and take the three children to bathe in the river, and come back to eat after taking a bath, it's not too late!" Wang Shi was busy in the kitchen, and said without turning his head.
"Good!"
Huang Shan nodded in response, but did not get up immediately, but sat and rested for a while before getting up and preparing to take his three sons to take a bath in the river.
"Knock! Knock! ”
But at this moment, there were two knocks on the door, the door was very simple, there were several holes, and you could see the outside from the inside, Huang San saw the familiar and unfamiliar faces outside the door through the holes in the door, and when he saw this face, Huang San's face showed an incredible look.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Under the puzzled gaze of a room of people, Huang Shan walked to the door, opened the door, and the door opened, which immediately surprised the people in the house, who was an elegant man in a gray robe, which was very different from this thatched house and even them.
"Zhang. Master Zhang? ”
The family of five in Huangshan was dumbfounded, and their faces were shocked!
Zhang Dafuzi, whose full name is Zhang Zhidong, is 52 years old this year, is the most famous literati in Huang'an County, and is also the master of the Li Family Private School, the largest private school in Huang'an County, so everyone in the county does not know him, and Zhang Zhidong also came to Huangshan's house once three years ago, saying that Huang Santian is smart and intelligent, and asked Huangshan to send Huang San to study at the Li Family Private School.
It's a pity that due to his poor family background, Huang Shan had no choice but to refuse, but because of Zhang Zhidong's words, Huang Shan was ruthless and spent a lot of money to buy a book for Huang San.
Huangshan's refusal made Zhang Zhidong extremely regretful, but he also understood the hardships of Huangshan's family, and never came to Huangshan's house again, but he didn't expect that after three years, Zhang Zhidong came to Huangshan's house again.
"Oh, Master, take a seat!" Huang Shan hurriedly beckoned Zhang Zhidong into the house, and brought the best stool in the house, Zhang Zhidong was not polite, walked into the house with a smile on his face, and sat on the stool brought by Huang Shan.
The most famous literati in the county, the eldest doctor and son came in person, which can be said to make the Huangshan family of five sincerely frightened, completely confused, and at a loss for a while.
"The master is here, the house is shabby, please forgive me!" Although Huangshan has not read a book, but this sentence will still be said, after all, I have never eaten pork, I have always seen a pig run, the landlord talks to the guests, and it is generally the beginning of this sentence.
Zhang Zhidong stroked his beard under his chin with a smile on his face, then smiled and waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I'm here this time because I have something to tell you, see if you're willing!" ”
"Oh? What is Ah Master? Huang Shan bowed his waist and looked at Zhang Zhidong with a puzzled face and asked.
"Close the door first!" Zhang Zhidong mysteriously glanced at the wide open door, Wang saw this, hurriedly ran over to close the door, and before closing the door, he stretched out his head to look left and right, like a thief.
Seeing the door closed, Zhang Zhidong looked at Huang San and asked with a solemn expression: "Huang San, let me ask you, are you willing to study?" ”
PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a reward, ask for four daily requests, I hope you can use your little hands to click to vote, thank you (manual smiley)!" ”
