Watching a few people play, Zhang Xuan found a small stone to polish his beads, the more he grinded, the more round the transmittance also improved, but the surface was still frosted, "It seems that you need to find some fine materials to polish" Zhang Xuan said secretly.

After packing up the beads, it was dark, and they went home, and after eating, Zhang Xuan found a small wood and continued to polish it, the more frustrated it became, the brighter it became, and the more frustrated it was, the brighter it became. Early the next morning, Zhang Xuan took out the translucent green beads.

"Father, I burned the mud yesterday, burned a bead, polished it and made it look like this, you can take it and sell it." As he spoke, Zhang Xuan handed the bead to his father.

My mother and two sisters also came over, "This? It wasn't like that yesterday! The elder sister said, and her mother's eyes lit up, "It's so beautiful!" Can you still do it? ”

Father Tian Ping also took the beads and looked at them again and again, straight and magical, and looked at his son Zhang Xuan in surprise, "How is this the same as the glass beads that people say!" ”

Tian Ping often goes to the city to help people work, Hangzhou is a rich place, and the glass beads have also been brought by people, but there is no such translucent. "Tell me, do you want your father to bring you something to eat?"

"Father, I want to read." Zhang Xuan said, "The four treasures of the study are fine." "Although Zhang Xuan knows that this is the world's first world, he knows even more that this is a feudal dynasty, even if you take refuge in the Iron Courage Shenhou now, you won't have the money to go to the capital, and you can't do anything if you go.

If you don't have a certain right, status, or martial arts, the Iron Courage God Marquis won't look at you. Li Sanniang and Tian Ping looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise, "Which one told you to study?" ”

"Father and mother work all year round, although the current situation is good, but it is only food and clothing, if it is natural and man-made disasters can not be resisted, and everything is inferior only to study high, I have also heard people say" Zhang Xuandao.

Tian Ping did not directly refuse, his husband and wife have also saved some money over the years, but it is only the dowry of the two daughters, otherwise he would not have built these thatched houses, even if Zhang Xuan is his life, but he also loves his two daughters.

"I'll wait until I go to the city and sell the beads." Saying that, Tian Ping went to the city with dry food, and the two sisters still took Zhang Xuan to herd sheep, but they were not as happy as before.

They also know about the things of studying and spending money, Wan Qian'er by the river was fishing and playing with the maid, and when she saw Tian Hua and Tian Liu coming over, she also said hello, "Come on, let's fish and play together." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xian's sister and brother were sullen, they asked, "What's so fun about reading!" She looked disgusted, "Every time my husband asks me to study, I get dizzy, so it's better to come out and play."

"But after a while, Mr. will also come," Wan Qian'er said, and her tone also lowered, "There won't be much time to play with you then." ”

Adults have the troubles of adults, and children have the troubles of children. Zhang Xuan's plan to study cannot be missed, but he just wants a name for reading, and with the reason for reading, he can show his talent and knowledge, and will not be regarded as an outlier.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Zhang Xuan said, "Do you know the story of Journey to the West?" Although the story of "Journey to the West" has been written intermittently, there is no systematic description, and these people have not heard of it, and it seems that it is not widely circulated.

"What Journey to the West? Is it fun" Wan Qian'er said, and the sisters and Xiaomei were also curious, "This is a story after Nuwa mends the sky, it is said that Nuwa used colorful stones to make up the sky, but one more piece came down and fell into Dongsheng Shenzhou······" Zhang Xuan's story is narrated.

It wasn't until the third pole of the day that Zhang Xuan told the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the underworld, "That's it, we're going home for dinner!" Zhang Xuandao,

Wan Qian'er and Xiaomei were both reluctant, "That's it." But her eyes lit up and she said, "Go to my house for dinner, save you from running back and forth, and you can continue to talk while eating."

"I didn't expect you to be quite witty," Zhang Xuanxin said, "But just to see what your family is like" "Okay" Zhang Xuandao, after saying that, Wan Qian'er packed up her things and went home.

Zhang Xuan's sister and brother also drove goats and ducks all the way, "What a style!" My sister exclaimed, Wan Qian'er was also proud, and after following in, Zhang Xuan found that the courtyard was three in and three out, and the pattern was quite exquisite.

When I entered the hall, I saw a beautiful woman sitting at the dining table waiting, and there were several maids serving on the side, and when she saw Wan Qian'er coming back, she hurriedly beckoned, "Why are you only coming back now?" "A kind face.

"Mother!" Wan Qian'er washed her hands and said, "These are my little friends, and his storytelling is good!" After speaking, he beckoned a few people to the table, and the two sisters were quite restrained when they saw the lady of the mansion.

"I've seen Mrs. Wan!" Zhang Xuan arched his hand, and the two sisters also said hello, but the beautiful woman was very happy when she heard it, "Good boy, sit down and eat." Sister and brother Zhang Xuan ate quietly.

But this beautiful woman saw the flaw, it turned out that Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand after washing his hands, and waited for a while before the maid came back to his senses and handed over the towel. The two sisters took towels and wiped their hands by themselves.

On the table, Mrs. Wan asked people to add dishes and chopsticks, and then the meal began, the food was very exquisite, and Zhang Xuan also had a great appetite, but he was pestered by Wan Qian'er to tell stories, but Zhang Xuancai told stories while eating.

The stories of demons and monsters have attracted attention, and there are already a group of listeners after eating. When he heard that Sun Wukong was crushed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Zhang Xuan stopped, "That's all for today, and the rest will be tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Wan Qian'er also listened to it, "Come, I'll take you around my house!" It was the first time for Wan Qian'er to bring someone to the house, so she naturally wanted to show off one or two, and Zhang Xuan also followed the little girl and looked behind.

Bamboo dragonfly rag dolls, small bamboo horses, small spinning tops, and all kinds of small toys were taken out one by one, but Zhang Xuan found that the decoration on this village was quite elegant, and there was a piano room, in addition to a number of guqins, there were also orchestral silk bamboos.

"It seems that this Mrs. Wan is an outer room, and nine times out of ten she is still a famous person, so it is no wonder that she is very happy when she hears Mrs. Wan's title." Zhang Xuanxin said, but after a long time, he touched the bamboo flute, and his hands itched.

By the time he reacted, he had already played a song "The Myth of the Stars and Moon", and the lingering and mournful but cross-time and space-spanning tunes were very moving, and it was quite similar to Zhang Xuan's thoughts at this time, "What kind of tune is this?" Outside the door stood Mrs. Wan, and she asked with a gloomy face, which seemed to touch her heartache.

"I'm blowing it." Zhang Xuan put down the flute and apologized as he spoke, "Use the instrument in vain, and please forgive me." Mrs. Wan was not reluctant, "I am also familiar with the rhythm of music, but I have never heard such a tune, which really makes people cry." ”

Then she walked over and looked at the six-year-old child, although she was small, she had an elegant bearing, and said that Zhang Xuan's family was a family of cultivation and reading, and she didn't care.

"I'll give it to you if you like it." Mrs. Wan picked up the flute and said to Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan felt that it was an opportunity, "If Mrs. is sincere in giving it away, it is better to send some gold and silver." ”

"Oh, why is that? Don't you like flutes? Mrs. Wan said curiously, Zhang Xuan didn't hide it, "I want to use some money to study, but unfortunately my family is poor, and I can't do enough to study." ”

"It's very interesting to learn to talk to someone at a young age," Mrs. Wan said with a smile, "Then I'll give you silver." So saying, he went back to the inner room and went to the silver tael.

Zhang Xuan got ten taels of silver, and he was not very happy on his face, "I didn't expect you to be pampered." Mrs. Wan was even more interested, "because I have already made up my mind that with the silver, I will only read the book faster." Zhang Xuan said, "If there is a dispatch in the future, it will be ordered alone." ”

In addition to the piano room, the two sisters were playing happily with Wan Qian'er, and when they saw their mother coming, Wan Qian'er hurriedly got up from the ground and patted the dust on her body, "Come in, go outside." Mrs. Wan said.

After taking a few children to eat ice, Zhang Xuan remembered that his father could do some business and sell popsicles. After eating and taking, Zhang Xuan also felt embarrassed, so he said goodbye and went home.

In the evening, my father came back and carried a bag of things, and was very happy to see his family, "Son, I ran to a pawn shop and jewelry store for those beads, and finally was caught by a rich businessman and got twenty taels of silver, and you have the money to study!" ”

Saying that, he took out something from the package, "This is the hairpin bought for your mother, this is the cloth bought for your sister and brother, go back and make a few new clothes, this is the braised pork you bought, and the meat will be opened tonight, this is the four treasures of the study room for you, and the enlightenment books, it cost a total of seven taels of silver."

Seeing that there was a gift of their own, my mother and sister were very happy, Tian Ping said again, "I have inquired, Li Zhuang private school apprenticeship five taels of silver a year, counting seven taels of silver a year for eating and drinking, my father can also earn it." ”

Although the family has their own fields, the annual harvest is only ten taels of silver, and the surplus is only five taels when they are thrown away for eating and drinking, although the father works and the mother grows some fruits and vegetables, plus livestock, the surplus is only ten taels a year.

Zhang Xuan was moved in his heart, and took out another ten taels of silver, "Today I went to Zhuangzi on the mountain with my sister, and the master saw that we got along well with her daughter, so he gave ten taels of silver." ”

"This?" The parents looked at each other, but the two sisters chimed in, "That's right, we're still eating at her house at noon." Seeing that their daughter said the same, the husband and wife were also happy to get the silver, and after complimenting them, they started cooking, and the family was happy.

After eating, Zhang Xuan said to his parents again, "Father, today I heard in the village that saltpeter can make ice, and summer is coming, so it is better to make some cold soup to sell." ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Li Sanniang also came over when she heard the way to make money, "It's better to buy some and try it, it won't cost much anyway." "When she suddenly gets rich, she doesn't have to pay baht, and besides, it's a recipe for money.

On the second day, Zhang Xuan still followed her sister to herd sheep, Wan Qian'er still played with her, and went to her house for lunch together, Zhang Xuan just continued to talk about Journey to the West, waiting to go home, and helped his father experiment with making ice water, the family was magical, and Li Sanniang made some mung bean soup overnight.

When Tian Ping came back, the two of them discussed a lot of promise. On the tenth day, Tian Ping took Zhang Xuan to the Li Family School to worship Li Xiucai as a teacher, and then began to officially go to school.

"I can finally read!" Zhang Xuan's first step plan has already been implemented, first enter the high-level and then say, at least have the capital to settle down.

Zhang Xuan slowly showed his knowledge, and Li Xiucai also looked down on Zhang Xuan, originally he looked down on him because of Zhang Xuan's poverty, and he was more attentive to Zhang Xuan's teaching, and even his own study was open to Zhang Xuan.
