Although Wu Qingchao was low-key and confidential, the news that his son Wu Fanhui was going to study in the Wu Academy still spread in the village.

The children of the village go to the school to study, this is a big thing, the children of the peasant family want to enter the school to study, it is not a simple thing, first of all, it depends on whether you have the talent to read, secondly, to see whether you have the conditions to read, and finally to see whether you are appreciated by Mr. and really accepted as a disciple by Mr.

Wu Fanhui is still a little older, at the age of thirteen to study in the school, a little nondescript, others can't help but guess that if he had the talent to read, he should have entered the school a long time ago.

The spread of the news caught Wu Qingchao a little off guard, although the elders and Li Zheng in the village did not come to the house immediately, but many villagers came to talk, and they had nothing to say, and there were even teenagers in the village who were almost the same as Wu Fanhui, who came to play with him, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After the crossing, Wu Fanhui's personality changed, and he basically stayed at home, and he had a lot of contact with people in the village.

The crop man has a straightforward personality, no fancy intestines, and everything he says is straightforward, with a loud voice, and he doesn't know how to be obscure.

Wu Fanhui heard all the conversations outside, all the words were short words from the parents, at most the fields suffered from famine, and he felt that he couldn't live his life, no one congratulated him on the title of Wu Fanhui's gold list, as for the teenagers who came to play, the degree of their wood made Wu Fanhui speechless.

Wu Fanhui only had one day to go home, and on August 18 he had to leave again to study at the Wu School in the county seat.

Mother Wang and Cui have been packing up their things, including quilts and washed clothes, etc., the weather will soon turn cold, and thick clothes definitely need to be prepared.

Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang, two little girls, were almost by Wu Fanhui's side all day, and it can be seen that they are reluctant to let their brother study, but they also know that reading has a significant impact on their brother and cannot be delayed.

It was finally getting dark.

The village has been quiet, every household is ready to sleep, Wu Fanhui went to the county school to study, caused a small sensation in the village, but it has not much to do with the life of farmers, at most it is to discuss it during the day, say some gossip, including the joke Wu Fanhui, go to study at such an old age, dream of becoming a Wenqu star in the Tianshan Mountains, is it a bad head.

Eat when it's time to eat, sleep when it's time to sleep, the peasant households live their own life, closed and narrow, and they only talk about a few big things, and after a few days they forget about it completely.

The elder Wang Zhengui came to the house unexpectedly.

This time, Wang Zhengui went directly to the cave where Wu Fanhui slept.

Wang Zhengui is the only famous scholar in the village, and he is also the person with the highest status in the village, it is said that Wang Zhengui also has some thin noodles in the county office, and he has seen the county master many times, and once he talked to the county master.

These rumors of Wang Zhengui are a big thing in the minds of the croppers, a symbol of power, and the farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky have never had the opportunity to see the county magistrate in their lives, and it is impossible to dream of talking to the magistrate.

Wu Fanhui is going to the county seat to study, Wang Zhengui, who is a talented person, came to take a look and congratulate him, this is not a big deal, if Wu Fanhui really has a future in the future, it is also a very good relationship.

But Wu Fanhui is thirteen years old, he is only studying at such an age, it is impossible to have a future, and it is very difficult to be admitted to the children's school, from this point of view, Wang Zhengui does not have to come to the door in person.

Wang Hecui was helping to pack up his things, and Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang were also following Wu Fanhui's side.

Seeing Wang Zhengui coming in, Wang Hecui hurriedly withdrew from the cave with his two daughters.

Wu Qingchao was not at home, so Shen Shi couldn't see anyone, and no one knew where he went.

"Fan Hui, I heard that you are going to study in the Wu Academy in the county seat."

"Yes, Dad sent me to the school yesterday, and I've already met Mr."

"Well, yes, study hard and win glory for the village, you must know that in a few decades, there has only been one real scholar in the village...

The so-called real scholar in Wang Zhengui's mouth refers to a scholar who has the status of a person or above, and only after obtaining the fame of a person or above can he enter the court and the government as an official, and he can be regarded as a promising scholar, and Xiu is unable to enter the official mansion as an official.

Wang Zhengui's words, Wu Fanhui was very surprised, in the memory he received, there was no such thing, the family had never said it, it is said that there are people in the village who are examined or Jinshi scholars, that is the pride of the whole village, such people will be passed on by word of mouth, why he doesn't know.

When Wang Zhengui was about to speak again, Wu Qingchao came in.

Seeing Wang Zhengui, although Wu Qingchao had a smile on his face, the smile was very reluctant, which made Wu Fanhui think that Wu Qingchao must have heard what Wang Zhengui said just now.

Seeing Wu Qingchao come back, Wang Zhengui changed the topic, which was nothing more than trying Wu Fanhui to study hard.

After only a few minutes of greetings, Wang Zhengui left.

After closing the door, Wu Qingchao turned to look at Wu Fanhui, sighed, and took out a wrapped cotton handkerchief from his arms.

After the cotton handkerchief was opened, Wu Fanhui's eyes narrowed.

Inside the cotton handkerchief was a large and small piece of silver.

The surface of the silver is somewhat darkened, apparently stored for many years, slightly oxidized.

Silver is expensive and cheap, silver is very rare money in these years, the vast majority of farmers in Ma'anshan Village, all year round can not see silver, a family is desperate to do things, it is not simple to be able to accumulate one or two silver throughout the year.

The historical knowledge stored by Wu Fanhui shows that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, twenty taels of silver was the expenses of a family employing maids for one year, and the annual income of Qipinzhi County was forty-five taels of silver.

One tael of silver can buy two stones of grain, and one stone of grain is equivalent to one hundred and eighty-eight catties of grain in a few hundred years.

In this way, one tael of silver is equivalent to about 700 yuan in a few hundred years.

But this is only based on grain as a reference price accounting, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty a tael of silver can buy materials, far more than a few hundred years later, more than 700 yuan.

Of course, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, disasters and famines were frequent, grain was extremely expensive, and the price of silver must have depreciated.

Anyway, Wu Fanhui couldn't imagine that the family could take out so much broken silver.

"Fan Hui, here are five taels of silver, I originally thought that I would give it to you after I arrived in the county, and you used it when you were studying in the school, but it was not safe in the county, if someone saw it, it would cause trouble."

"You must put away the silver, don't let outsiders see it, I also prepared five hundred wen for you, don't take the silver out to pay the bill directly for some small expenses, you have never used the money, I don't know the price of the silver, let me tell you, now one or two silver can be exchanged for one thousand two hundred wen, not one thousand wen announced by the government, you have to remember."

"I have arranged everything at home, you don't have to worry about it, you can study with peace of mind, these silver are all your expenses for half a year, the county is not as good as the village, you have to use money all the time, go out, don't wronged yourself, and don't let people look down on you."

Wu Fanhui was really moved for the first time, although Wu Qingchao's words didn't sound so touching, but this was a father's heartfelt concern for his son, not mixed with a trace of water.

Five taels of silver lasted for half a year, which could not be said to be particularly rich, but for Wu Fanhui, who was at the bottom, it was already very luxurious, he followed Wu Qingchao to the county inn to eat, a plate of braised meat, a plate of broad beans, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, two bowls of millet porridge, four wheat cakes, a pot of rice wine, it only cost fifty yuan, if it is a meal a day, one tael of silver can almost be eaten like this for a month.

The cost of studying is not just about feeding and cloning yourself.

When studying in the school, students cling to each other in order to prepare for future needs, this is a very normal thing, since you want to cling to the relationship, there will be things to eat and drink, there will be restaurants and inns to eat and drink, if you don't pull out a dime, you will encounter isolation and shame, which is very bad for the future.

Wu Fanhui is already a teenager, thirteen years old, the New Year is fourteen years old, to study in the school, you must make a relationship, otherwise you can't really get a foothold, and he hasn't really become a disciple of Mr. Guo, if you want to stay in the school after half a year to continue studying, you need to get a lot of help, which makes him have to make friends.

Wu Fanhui carefully put away the silver, he couldn't refuse, he went to the county seat to send school, there were too many places that needed to be spended, he understood the importance of money, money is not omnipotent, but no money is impossible.

After lying down, Wu Fanhui was particularly sober, he had been thinking about the purpose of Wang Zhengui's coming to the house, who was the real scholar Wang Zhengui said about going out of the village, did this person have anything to do with his family, if so, why did his parents never talk about these things, and why would he be unhappy when he heard Wang Zhengui speak.

Wang Zhengui must have come to the house for a purpose, but Wu Fanhui can't figure it out at the moment.

After two months, there are too many doubts in my mind, the first of which is what kind of experience my father Wu Qingchao and mother Wang Hecui had before, the temperament they showed, and the many requirements they put forward are all owned and mentioned by big families.

The second is why the family can take out a lot of silver taels, obviously the conditions are good, why be low-key, is there anything difficult to hide.

The last is the mysterious elderly Wang Zhengui and Li Zheng Wu Qingxiong, whether there is any secret behind them.

If you want to figure out these problems, it is not too difficult for Wu Fanhui, he has already thought of two people, one is Mr. Guo of Wu's Academy, since he and his father Wu Qingchao are brothers, he must know the past, and the other is Wu Guigui, who has disappeared for more than two months, they agreed to meet for half a year, maybe the next time they see Wu Guigui, they will be able to solve some mysteries in their minds.

These are small problems, and Wu Fanhui believes that he can figure them out in a short time.

In short, the next thing is to study hard and fight for your future.
