Under the gaze of the three of them, a rickety old lady walked in slowly, she was gray-haired, wearing a patched shirt, holding a cane in her right hand, walking very slowly, as if she had exhausted all her strength with every step, but her face was yellow and thin, and she looked a little malnourished.

Looking at this destitute old lady, Yun Wanqing's heart moved, and she hurriedly walked over, helped the old lady over, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, what is the matter with you coming to the academy?" ”

The old lady raised her head and opened her cloudy old eyes slightly, it was the first time she had seen a woman with such a sign, but it was really a shy flower, and it was even more rare that this young lady was kind-hearted, and whispered: "I want to find the teaching director." ”

Zhu Ziming looked at her, she should have come here for her children and grandchildren, could it be that she also came to adjust the class, if this is the case, this old woman may not be able to come up with the money.

Yan Yinli glanced at Brother Zhu and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, what are you looking for him?" ”

Yun Wan said softly: "Is it for the sake of your grandson's class?" ”

The old lady nodded, but shook her head again, wondering what she meant.

With this old woman's age, it must be her precious grandson who is studying in Mingli Academy, Yun Wanqing is wondering, don't they have other elders in their family, why do they want an old lady who is difficult to walk to come to the academy.

The old lady undoubtedly came to the back door, and the three of them subconsciously affirmed this.

However, after the old lady's lips squirmed a few times, she said, "I am here for my grandson, but not for the matter of class, but"

The old lady was really difficult to speak, and hesitated for a long time and said: "It's that my old lady is useless, and she can't even pay her grandson's tuition, so I came here, hoping that the young masters and young ladies can do well, and give me a few more graces, so that my wife can raise money to pay for tuition." ”

The overall tuition fee of Yanguo's academy is three yuan a month, and this has always been equal to one tael of silver, so these three taels of silver are difficult for ordinary people to afford, and most of the children who can afford the academy are from relatively solid families.

Although the rules and regulations of Mingli Academy are very different from those of other colleges, the fee standard is the same, three taels of silver, for this poor old lady, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But for the sake of her grandson, she gritted her teeth and wanted to send him to Mingli Academy to study, and even left this old face and came to the academy to ask for help in person.

Yun Wanqing's eyes moistened slightly, and her voice choked slightly: "Mother-in-law, are there other people in your family?" ”

The old lady shook her head: "His father and mother died early, leaving only me and him, he studied hard every day, and went to the field to do some odd jobs, and now he has entered the academy, and he has to study every day, and he can no longer subsidize the family, and my old woman can only pick up some wild vegetables every day to barely survive."

With the old lady's current situation, the grace period is a bit empty talk, and the three of them are very psychologically clear.

"My grandson is studying hard now, and he will definitely be able to get famous in the future, and he will definitely repay you tenfold and hundredfold when the time comes," the old woman had already guessed what they were thinking, and said in a hurry, almost kneeling.

"Mother-in-law, we didn't mean that," Yan Yinli said, "Please also ask what is your grandson's name." ”

The old lady said, "His name is Sun Peng." ”

Sun Peng? Yun Wanqing was stunned for a moment, why is this name so familiar, and in her heart, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up: "Sun Peng, isn't he the first in this class exam!" ”

This old woman's grandson is the first in the academy? Zhu Ziming was surprised, and felt that it was really a talented man from a poor family, and only those who had suffered knew the important surname of reading.

"Mother-in-law," Zhu Ziming said with a smile: "It turns out that your grandson is the number one, and your worries will be too much at that time." ”

The old lady glanced at the black-faced boy who had not spoken, and did not know what he meant by this.

"Mother-in-law, this is the dean you're looking for." Yan Yinli introduced.

The old lady looked at Zhu Ziming and said in a low voice: "This lord, what do you mean by what you say?" ”

This teaching director is not an adult, Zhu Ziming smiled wryly: "Mother-in-law, don't you know, our academy has a new regulation, which is to reward students who study hard, and the first place in the class examination will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, so you don't have to worry at all." ”

And such a good thing? The old lady didn't believe her ears, and in her excitement, the crutches she was holding almost trembled because of her palms, and her whole body fell, but fortunately, there was a talented woman by her side to support her.

Zhu Ziming smiled and nodded: "If your grandson can take the first place in the exam every month, this reward will not only pay the tuition, but also save some savings to enter Beijing to take the exam at that time." ”

I didn't expect to study well and earn money, the old lady was happy, her toothless mouth opened slightly, she was very happy, her grandson insisted on coming to Mingli Academy, and it really had his reason.

There were tears hidden in Yun Wan's soft eyes, and she didn't know if she was moved, or what, she just looked at Zhu Ziming gently, when did the academy have this reward system, it must have been that he just thought of it to deceive this mother-in-law, but his heart is not something that ordinary people can do.

Not only does the old woman not have to be so low-voiced, but also makes the old woman feel at ease, and can also motivate the first place in the academy to learn well, which is really a triple win.

It's really well-intentioned to think so thoroughly.

He is really a good and bad person, Yun Wanqing's heart rippled faintly, and her beautiful eyes looked at him like spring water, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Zhu Ziming took out ten taels of silver from the cabinet and handed it to the old lady, even if one hundred taels of silver is nothing to Zhu Ziming now, but these ten taels of silver represent an encouragement and a help, if there is more money, then the meaning will change.

"Thank you, thank you, sir" The old woman took the silver gratefully, holding the ten taels of silver in both hands, but felt that it was like a thousand catties.

The old woman said thank you a few more times, and then tremblingly held the silver in the palm of her hand and slowly walked out of the room.

"Brother Zhu, hey" Yan Yinli walked over and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't know what to say for a while, Brother Zhu has such a kind heart, it is really commendable.

However, Zhu Ziming looked into the distance in a daze as if he hadn't heard him speak.

"Brother Zhu!"

When Yan Yinli called again, Zhu Ziming slowly turned his senses: "I think something seems wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Yinli didn't know what to say and asked.

Zhu Ziming's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands: "That's right!" Our silver has been fully divided, how can I give all the ten taels of silver, it should be evenly divided, take five taels. ”

"Both of them were dizzy.
