Chapter 84: Asking for a monthly pass
The Song family has a lot of talents because of the imperial examination, even if it is a low-level official position, it is also a sixth-grade or seven-grade official, which can already show that the upbringing is strict and decent, the imperial examination is not so good, and he is already a talent if he can come out.
Therefore, all families hope to send their children to study, and with a good master to teach them, the brothers of the Song family will do everything they can to contribute to the clan learning.
For example, Daddy Song Zhengtian knew that the previous master had found a substitute official position and was leaving, so he invited a Jinshi master to come back, which ordinary people couldn't invite.
Other children will also take the time to come back to teach, which is an excellent resource, and other schools may not have such good opportunities.
The last and most important thing, the Song family has passed the examination, and these reading notes must be left in the library pavilion.
Over the past few generations, these things have been extremely precious resources, and they are also part of the Song family's heritage as a scholarly family.
Every year, the children released from other places will bring back a lot of books from outside to give them to the family, just for the long-term sake of the family, the family is the foundation for a son, and the centripetal force of the son Lang to the family even exceeds the loyalty to the emperor to the court.
Many children of relatives are willing to be sent to the Song family to study, even if they fail to pass the imperial examination, they can understand the rules and become useful talents.
But the Song family study is free for the children of the Song family, but the children of the foreign family do have to collect the fee, whether it is a relative or not, the surname Song has to pay for it, and it is a high fee, which is twice as high as the cost of the outside school.
And there is a word in advance, it is common to be beaten, go home if you complain, and you will not return the fee, and you will not be treated equally when you enter the Song family, and you must abide by the rules of the Song family, otherwise you will never be hired.
Although the children of the Song family go to school for free, this is for those children from poor families, and any family has a surplus and poor relatives.
Those who have money will regularly buy ancestral fields for the clan, as well as the supply of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., and the clan elders will reward and punish according to everyone's supply.
Reward children who learn well with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, punish other children for copying books or punish them for standing on the board, etc.
In this way, even if the poor children are willing to work hard, they can still be supplied, even if they are not surnamed Song, they are treated equally.
This is also the reason why the Song family is very famous in the capital, although the bundle fee is a bit expensive, but the reputation is excellent, the rules are strict, and the children taught are very reasonable.
The clan will also send some girls to come over to learn to read and learn the rules of the Song family, and when they go out, they can raise their status and say that they are relatively better, and the Song family's signboard is still very bright. Otherwise, my grandfather would not have married his daughter.
Zilan went to school for a day and gradually understood the rules of the Song family, and today she still has a task, which is to copy the family rules and memorize them.
I would definitely not say such a disappointing thing when I came to be a guest before, but when I go to school, there are rules for going to school, and the Song family's family rules are very long, and they are all-encompassing and strictly restrain all your bad habits and behaviors.
Even if you have a son, you can't take a concubine, you can't enter the gambling house, you can't enter the Qinglou, and there are specific punishment measures for violators, and you must be expelled from the clan if you are serious.
Expulsion from the clan is the harshest punishment in this era, a situation of despair and inability to turn over, and the importance of the family to a person is self-evident.
Expelling from the clan is not to blast out of the family, but to take away Song's surname and cut off all your resources, everything you have today is given to you by the Song family, the Song family doesn't want you anymore, all the glory must be taken back, and everything you have will be cleared.
Even relatives such as court friends will cut off contact with you, and this price is very terrible.
Those who are new to school, regardless of whether they have the surname Song or not, must copy the family rules and memorize them, and randomly check them at any time, and no one is allowed to tarnish the reputation of the Song family.
Even if you don't have the surname Song, if you enter the Song family to learn classes, you have to abide by the rules of the Song family, tarnish the reputation of the Song family, and the whole clan will chase and beat you, and you will be chased and beaten by the whole family, and there must be no place to stand.
After class in the afternoon, Ziyan ran over with a bookbag on his back, "Sister, have you finished cleaning up, let's go home, hurry up and wait at the door." ”
"Here we are."
Zilan answered, and Mu Xiang and Agarwood were busy packing her things into their book bags and wrapping the guqin in cloth.
Ziyan took the guqin and held it in his arms, and took Zilan's hand, "Let's go, goodbye sisters, let's go home." ”
"Let's go, take care of Lan'er slowly."
Song Shishi waved at them at the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow, I'll bring you Hexiang."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Song Shishi smiled and nodded.
After getting into the carriage, Ziyan asked, "Is it good for my sister to pick you up?" Can someone bully you? ”
"No one bullied me, I memorized all the grandfather exams me, brother, have you finished copying the house rules, I have done my homework, but the house rules have not been copied."
"I haven't finished copying it, I'm going back and copying it again, I still haven't memorized a little bit, Ming'er must finish memorizing it, the master gave three days, and I memorized the wrong grandfather to fight."
Ziyan counted the time with a serious face, and he must memorize it before the spot check.
"Brother, is he going to take a medicinal bath tomorrow?"
"Yes, my grandfather has prepared all the medicinal materials for me, my father will watch me, don't worry, I'm used to it."
"Oh, that's good."
Zilan pondered about replacing the medicinal herbs in the space for her brother tonight, so that the effect would be doubled and it would have a good nourishing effect on the body.
Back home, the Yang family was already waiting for them.
"I'm back, go get water and wash the children, how did you learn today? Have you met new people? ”
Yang was busy changing their clothes and pouring water.
Zilan was fed a large cup of honey by the Yang family, and the honey was also taken out of the space, and it was specially brought back from Zhuangzi to hide people's eyes.
"I learned well, and the master praised me for playing the piano well."
Zilan washed her hands and changed her homely clothes before sitting down to talk.
"That's good, but if you want to copy the family rules, your father said that you must copy this first when you enter the clan study."
"Well, I haven't finished writing yet, I'll write it in a while, I'll write it for a while before I eat, otherwise it'll be dark."
Zilan is anxious for her brother, it's not good for her eyes when it's dark, and if she can't finish writing, she can go to the space and continue to write, which doesn't hinder anything.
"Yes, yes, Brother Yan should hurry up and write for a while, otherwise it will be dark, and I will write again."
Yang hurriedly said.
"Okay."
The brother and sister were arranged to write silently and do their homework before making the bookcase, and they had to wait for a while before they could eat, and they had to wait for their father Song Zhengtian to come back and eat together.
They finished their homework before dinner, and Song Zhengtian also came back, asking them about their homework first as usual, mainly taking the school Ziyan, checking the family rules copied, and pointing out a few words that the writing is not good, and they should pay attention next time.
Taking advantage of his father's kung fu to take the school entrance examination, Zilan pulled Yang into the house, "Mother, my brother is going to take a medicinal bath tomorrow, you give me the medicine list, and I will see if it will be better to replace it." ”
"Oh, I'll find you where I am. Your grandfather also told your father that he can also soak this recipe, and it is very good for physical fitness. ”
