"Thank you to the master for accepting the student, and the student Xiao Zikang gave the master a gift." Xiao Zikang was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to give Master Cao a great gift.

In fact, Xiao Zikang liked it as soon as he entered the academy, and he was so happy to be able to enter this academy.

"Thank you, Master." Zisu was also very happy and touched his younger brother's head.

"How much is Master Cao's bundle, are you paying it now?" Zisu turned around and asked.

"The bundle is paid once every half a year, fifteen taels of silver, which can be replaced by other things, and many students in the academy can work and study part-time to top a part of the bundle, and they can also chop wood and carry water." Cao Fuzi was worried that Zisu's sister and brother would not be able to come up with so much silver.

Zisu heard it, it is indeed a lot for ordinary families, at this time, the average family spends only three or five taels all year round, no wonder so many poor children can't study, this is still Qingshan Academy, if it is a larger academy, it may be more restrained, not to mention the cost of other pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Fortunately, I was prepared today, or it would be really embarrassing, "Master Cao, this is the shackles of my brother for half a year, when do you think it is more convenient to start classes?" Zisu handed over the bundle to the little boy who was waiting by Cao's side.

Cao Fuzi really didn't expect the pair of sisters and brothers to be so happy, "In this case, you can send him over tomorrow and every hour, lunch can be solved by yourself, the academy also has meals, there are different prices according to different standards, and students can choose by themselves." ”

"Please let the master know what you need to prepare." Zisu said.

"Oh, this kind of book is for a thousand characters, he has some foundation, and then buy a book of Analects, if you have the conditions, you can buy a book of poetry, a paperback version is fine, and the rest is to write pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." Cao Fuzi said.

"Okay, then it's troublesome Master, we'll come back tomorrow and then." Zisu saluted and said goodbye to Cao Fuzi, Xiao Zikang also saluted politely, and the little boy who welcomed them in just now sent the two people out.

"It's an interesting pair of siblings!" Cao Fuzi looked at the backs of the two sisters and brothers and said.

"Sister, it's so good, the master has taken me in, and I can go to school tomorrow." Xiao Zikang said excitedly except that the academy was far away.

Looking at Xiao Zikang's appearance, it made Zisu think that it was not that he had never seen the life of ordinary people in his previous life, and there were not a few people who refused to go to school at the school gate, how could she be as well-behaved and sensible as her little brother,

"This Master Cao looks like a learned person, you have to study hard, let's go buy something to use now." Zisu likes his younger brother's aura like this.

"Hmm!" Xiao Zikang nodded heavily.

There is a bookstore on the corner not far from Castle Peak Academy, the sister and brother walked in, the bookstore is not big, the high bookshelves are full of all kinds of books, and there are some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things on the side of the counter, which are quite complete.

A boss with a long beard was reading a book and reading seriously, and there was a half-old child dozing off on the side, Zisu shook his head, this boss is interesting, and he is not afraid of being stolen.

"Boss, we want to buy the Analects and the Book of Poetry, and get a better set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." Zisu saw that no one cared about him, so he had to say it loudly.

"What's the noise, I'm seeing the wonders, I'm looking for the book over there, Xiao Wuzi, don't sleep." The boss didn't even lift his head, and kicked the half-grown boy who was dozing off.
