Although the fourth prince slapped his chest loudly when he took over this matter, and the ideas were one after another, when it was implemented, he fully exposed the weakness of insufficient market experience.

However, the bear child is at least self-aware, and the little peanut is changing his way to talk from Chen's father and Chen's mother, and he is simply responsible for being cute in front of Chen's father and Chen's mother. He originally looked like the golden boy in the New Year's painting, but at this time, he left his identity behind, and he also learned from the little peanut to take a bite of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, which naturally coaxed the two honest people of the Chen family around.

Xiao Cheng, who has a serious personality, is responsible for answering Chen's father and Chen's mother's questions about Chen San's study in public school. So, the three of them performed their own duties, and the results were remarkable, and the loyal and honest father Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his son had such three good classmates, but he couldn't stay in the public school for a long time.

When they came out of Chen's house, Chen's father, who was already very bad, insisted on sending them to the door, and Chen's mother insisted on sending them to the other two houses, but when she saw a group of children staring intently at the bag of candy in Little Peanut's hand, she understood.

They are all the children of the neighborhood, Chen's mother gave a few words of advice, and watched a group of children jumping up and down to guide the three sons' classmates, and when those figures were completely invisible, she turned around and saw her husband's face full of depression, so she whispered: "The three classmates of the third son are polite, neatly dressed, and look like they are all from good families, I know you think he is a pity." ”

"How is it not a pity? Don't restrain the cultivation, in turn subsidize the student's school, or the respected old man in the court, and there is a new talent like Bachelor Zhang who stays there every day, it is said that in the future, you can also go to other classes and learn various crafts, how rare? Just to have the consistent money every month to go to the Gusu restaurant as an apprentice, wouldn't it be a waste of the little third son's good time? ”

Seeing that his wife didn't speak, Chen's father sighed and said, "Moreover, he only went to study for one day in seven days, and the remaining six days were all working hard, and it was not easy for the child." And this year, the school that can send people to the students' homes to condole, not to mention the capital, can't be found with lanterns all over the world! Even if two of the children who came today are younger than the third son, it can be seen that they have a heart. Otherwise, forget it! ”

Mother Chen raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her eyes, but shook her head forcefully.

"I know that you are thinking about your son, but you must know that the Fang Si family also found such an opportunity with great difficulty, and her own son will also send it over, which shows that it is absolutely true. Besides, the third son is still young, even if he comes out as a three-year apprentice, he can still study, and he can continue to work as a bookkeeper like you in the future. ”

"Three years of apprenticeship, consistent every month, that is thirty-six yuan, which sounds like a lot, and it is claimed to be able to steal teachers to learn art, but do you know that stealing teachers to learn arts, if you are caught, you will be broken hands and legs, not to mention, taking people's wages, but you have to steal other people's crafts, are you sorry?"

Seeing that his wife didn't speak, he raised his voice and said, "You said that three years will make up for it quickly, but think about it, if you miss at least 50 days of classes in a year, three years is 150 classes, does the junior have so much time?" ”

"When I was studying and writing with an uncle and learning to settle accounts, a cousin of a relative's family also wanted to learn, but his family was unwilling to pay that fee, and he was later sent to work by his family. When I was in the tent of the trading house, he was out in the wind and rain to deliver people's carts, and people who were less than thirty were haggard and unpresentable! ”

"I'm just blind now, but he'...... He didn't even have his life, just a delivery in the rainstorm, and he was infected with the wind and cold and died! I originally planned to teach the junior son by myself, even if my eyes were getting worse and worse. At this time, there is a public school that does not restrain the cultivation and also includes three meals when studying, and if you miss it, you will be punished by God! ”

Seeing that Chen's mother was silent, Chen's father turned around and went back to the house angrily, but after crossing the threshold, the huge difference in light between inside and outside the room made him can't help but see a flower in front of him, stumbling under his feet, and the whole person suddenly stood unsteadily. Fortunately, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed around a few times, but he touched the door frame, took advantage of the situation and pulled it, and then slipped to the ground.

When Chen's mother, who heard the movement, hurriedly came in, she saw her husband sitting on the ground. She hurriedly rushed up to help the person up, only to see her husband suddenly raise his fist and slam the ground.

Seeing people like this, Chen's mother squatted down with the people, and couldn't help wiping a handful of tears: "Okay, then listen to you!" Fang Si's family has always liked to take advantage of small advantages, but they also like the east and the west are short, and they seem to know a lot of people, but they are actually unreliable. Maybe it's not a good opportunity for her, maybe someone else is lying to her...... Forget it, if you stay up at home, you will always be able to survive! ”

Outside the door of Chen's house, Ah Liu glanced at the thin layer of cotton curtain with a complicated face, and then quietly turned around and left.

He said that he would not go with the Four Princes and Little Peanut Xiao Cheng, but that was just a claim. Although this place in front of him is not the most terrifying kind of slum in the outer city, it is also very chaotic, with such a golden branch and jade leaf as the fourth prince dangling in it, even if he is accompanied by Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng, he can't be completely relieved!

Zhang Shou didn't expect the three children to really make contributions in one fell swoop, in fact, he also hoped that he would listen to the situation next to him.

And the fourth prince didn't know that his every move was actually under the watchful eye of a certain pair of eyes—maybe more than that pair of eyes. After the Chen family succeeded in one fell swoop, they then found the second family, the Fang family, under the guidance of those children.

Unlike Chen's father and Chen's mother, who are loyal and easy to deal with, the Fang family has a scholar Fang Da who claims to be going to take the county exam, and he is very wary of their arrival, and when he hears them say that he is his younger brother's classmate, he directly asks them about what they have learned.

And Little Peanut's little knowledge, he couldn't understand the other party's interrogation mixed with allusions, so he stopped cooking. Xiao Cheng has memorized a lot of ancient poems, but he is not good at this kind of thing that quotes scriptures.

So, it was the turn of the four princes to come forward and carry it. Although it is impossible to read through the Four Books and Five Classics at a young age and memorize the millions of words, the bear child has a strong point, that is, he is good at breaking crooked reasoning, plus the books he has read are indeed quite miscellaneous, worthy of the little peanut claiming that he is a prodigy, and the miscellaneous quotations make the other party dizzy.

After a few rounds, the scholar brother who was about to take the county exam died down.

Seeing that the eldest son of the studyer, who had always been regarded as the greatest hope in the family, was unable to come to the stage by a child, Fang's mother suddenly had no choice but to continue watching the excitement on the side. She stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "My family Fang Xiaoxiao has been in public school for so long, and I don't know that I can meet such a decent classmate as the three Xiaolangjun. I've come here, but I've brought something! ”

said this in her mouth, but the egg tofu brought by Xiao Peanut just now, she had already packed it with bamboo carrot, and held it tightly in her arms at this time, as if she was afraid that others would go back. Seeing that the three children opposite didn't mean this, she asked her eldest son Fang Da to go back to the house to study, but the people didn't seem to understand, and they refused to leave at all, so she could only be anxious.

And the fourth prince saw that the nerd who was ten years older than him on the other side looked at him with an unkind face, he really wanted to say what you see, but thinking about the purpose of his visit, he could only continue to deal with Fang Mu, who was very shrewd at first glance, and the nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Xijiu said that in order to put a little pressure on the students, the public school will officially start the assessment. From beginner to intermediate classes, the exam is held regularly. In the past, when I was recruiting, I said that if I was too careless, then I would have to be expelled. ”

Seeing that Fang's mother obviously showed a little different color, the fourth prince said with a smile: "But those who do well in the exam will be rewarded!" Originally, I planned to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which was the land sacrifice wine suggested by Mr. Zhang, and it was better to give bacon, wind chicken, pickled vegetables to the top three in each class, and there were also scholarships. ”

When she heard that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were issued, Fang's mother was still a little scoffing, but when she heard that people who did well in the exam could actually send meat and vegetables, she couldn't help but be moved, and when she heard that there was still a scholarship, her eyes began to sprout little stars.

And Fang Da, the eldest man of the Fang family on the side, frowned: "Isn't it Sven sweeping the floor with such an assessment reward?" ”

Although the fourth prince is a prince, his temperament has always jumped out, unlike the third prince, who was shy in the past and now steady, so he is widely praised by officials, he dares to criticize some court officials for being pedantic in front of the emperor, not to mention that he is just a nerd at this time? He smiled, and then said unhurriedly: "Then dare to ask Fang Dalang, can you go without eating or drinking every day?" ”

Without waiting for anyone to reply, he said loudly: "The people take food as the sky, so what's wrong with the public school rewarding students with bacon and pickles after the assessment?" Besides, according to the ancient rites, isn't the bundle for the teacher bacon? ”

Fang Da was choked by the four princes, and it took a long time before he said with a cold face: "It's okay to reward cured meat and the like, but what is the reward money!" ”

"Oh, Fang Dalang doesn't know, all the academies in Jiangnan also distribute student money and food according to students' family backgrounds and grades? Besides, among the talents, aren't the grain and rice subsidized by the poor people money? But also, if outsiders are also as taboo as you are to talk about money, then I will go back to Lu Saijiu and ask the public school to give the top three students in each class a stone of rice to reward them! ”

"Hey, my eldest man only reads sage books, and he doesn't understand these things in the market outside, Xiaolangjun, don't listen to him!" Fang Mu suddenly became anxious. She hurriedly pushed her eldest son into the house, and when she got to the door, she whispered, "Have you forgotten how many literary meetings you will attend before the county exam next year, and where do you not need money?" In case Xiaoxiao can take the top three exams, wouldn't it be better to send money? ”

"But didn't my mother say that she wanted my little brother to be an apprentice?" Fang Da raised his eyebrows in confusion, and seeing that Fang's mother suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, he said with a straight face, "But in fact, I was against my mother letting my little brother drop out of school before." The two bosses of the public school are very famous people, and if it weren't for the fact that I was too old and had long since graduated from the private school, and I couldn't take the advanced class, I would have wanted to go. ”

And the fourth prince and the little peanut pricked up their ears to listen, and at this time, they glanced at each other, and they all felt that they had heard the key place. But what they didn't expect was that Xiao Cheng didn't know when he suddenly appeared behind the mother and son.

"Why drop out of school?"

Fang's mother hurriedly turned her head and saw Xiao Cheng standing behind her, she instinctively wanted to scold, it can be seen that the person's eyes are clear and her face is calm, she can't help but feel a little weak, and immediately forced a smile: "What do you know about this child, we are a poor family, of course the poor family can't be like you, and they only know what to read......

Xiao Cheng asked confidently, "Isn't Brother Fang studying?" I just heard, he seems to have to take the county exam? ”

Fang's mother was forced to face green by this step, but her eldest man was still helping beside her: "That's right, mother, my little brother is just taking a day of class in the public school every seven days, and he is still ...... for the other six days."

"You know what!" Fang's mother finally couldn't help but change her color, "If he goes to be an apprentice, it will be a month's consistent money, not to mention the family's expenses, your father doesn't have to work early and late, and your expenses as a study friend can be much easier." What's more, as long as you steal a trick or two......"

"You have to learn art honestly, how can you steal!" This time, it was Fang Da's turn to be angry, "Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith, since you went to be an apprentice and took other people's wages, how can you steal a teacher?" ”

"You...... You conscienceless brat, you ...... You're going to me off! ”

The fourth prince and Xiao Peanut were stunned to see that this pair of mother and son were actually-for-tat, and after suddenly waking up, the four princes immediately quietly gave Xiao Cheng a thumbs up, and then ignored the confused little guy, and hurriedly stepped forward to be a peacemaker. Both of them are the most clever people with sweethearts, Xiao Peanut comforted Fangda, and the fourth prince comforted Fang's mother, and after a while, the mother and son who were about to quarrel upside down just now finally stopped for the time being.

It was only at this time that the fourth prince asked with curiosity on his face: "Auntie, what is the matter with Fang Xiaoxiao dropping out of school to become an apprentice, can you tell me?" ”

Without giving Fang's mother any chance to hesitate, he said with sincerity: "Actually, the intermediate class only has one class in seven days, if you can convince the store that recruits apprentices to let Xiao Fang take one day off every seven days and go to the public school to attend classes, and then his salary will be deducted on that day, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" The small four days' salary per month is also limited, right? ”

Seeing that Fang's mother was excited, the little peanut on the side cleverly talked about it, and there was also a Fang family's eldest man Fang Da who turned his elbow outward, Fang's mother's weak defense line was quickly completely broken. So, this overly shrewd woman in the market unconsciously began to pour beans into a bamboo tube.

And when I heard that someone claimed to be the proprietor behind the Gusu Restaurant, the third steward of the richest man in Suzhou, the third steward of the Hua family, and took Fang's mother to the back kitchen of the Gusu Restaurant, and then promised the other mother's a lot of wonderful treatment and promises, and even the thing of stealing learning was instilled in Fang's mother, how did the four princes feel that this thing was wrong.

He quickly glanced at Little Peanut, and when he saw that the person shook his head lightly to himself, he said with a smile: "It's easy to do if it's the Hua family, Bachelor Zhang in the public school and the Hua family have always had some friendships." I'll go back to the people around Mr. Zhang to inquire and ask, and I'll give you a reply when I turn around! He felt that someone must be pretending to be a member of the Hua family to pry into the corner...... It's a thing!
