Back in the hall, everyone talked about it together.

Xie Wang looked at Xie Ping'an with a smile, and said to Xie Qingshan: "Now that Ping'an is also older, he is eighteen years old, and it should be the age of his relatives." Even if we are not in a hurry, someone is thinking about this for us! ”

"Gai Ming'er should also take some time to reorganize the two rooms in the west wing, build an upside-down room, move the kitchen and utility room over, and make room for it......," Xie Qingshan thought about it and said.

"If you want me to say, it is better to build a courtyard house with blue bricks and tiles, live in warm winters and cool summers, and don't need to lay thatch on the roof every time it rains, and my grandfather will have face when he walks in the village!" Xie Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing Xie Xuan say this, everyone looked at Xie Qingshan.

When Xie Qingshan heard this, his eyes lit up, he lowered his head and thought about it, and said with words in his mouth: "The silver taels on hand are enough, but there is no money left after spending it, if there is something to do, I still can't move it at hand......"

"Our wheat has also been planted, Zhuangzi has also bought it, even the grass shed for planting vegetables in winter has been built, and the vegetable seedlings have also been bought, and there is nothing to spend. When the winter vegetables come down, we still have a lot of money! Xie Xuan stretched out his fingers and calculated, "By the way, Brother Zhiyuan and Brother Zhicheng still need to be tied up when they go to school!" ”

"Yes, I have to take some time to go to Liushutun and ask, where is the school? How much does Lao Xiucai receive? Xie Wang looked at the two little grandchildren and said happily.

"Dad, mother, there is nothing big tomorrow, why don't I go to Pingtian to have a look?" As soon as Lin heard this, he couldn't wait to say.

"No, this is a major matter related to future generations, tomorrow I will go to see in person with Hirata and the two of you are at home." Xie Qingshan made a final decision, and the Lin family gave up.

"Let's talk about building a house, if you earn money from vegetables this winter, you will build a green brick house in spring; If the book is folded, only the upside-down room will be built, and the east wing room will be vacated for the peaceful marriage of his daughter-in-law. Xie Qingshan said.

This is a serious decision of the old man, and everyone has no opinion.

On the second day, sure enough, Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian drove the mules to Liushutun to inquire about the study school handled by Shen Dahu.

In the early years, he sold three shuttle cloths, silk yarns, cut velvet blankets, pan cloths, silk cloths, and medicine spot cloths from Songjiang, and sold saros from Jiangning, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, and made up brocades.

Because Shen Dahu is old and lazy to go far away, the family's business is handed over to his son to take care of, and he gets up in his hometown of Liushutun for a long time.

And because in the early years, he sold cloth back and forth, and suffered from the various kinds of eating cards and asking for a few officials, and he was determined to fight for his children and grandchildren, so he invited famous teachers to teach his children and grandchildren.

Who knows, none of the children and grandchildren have a good seedling to read, and they are just fighting cocks and lackeys every day. So this Shen Dahu will open a courtyard, specifically as a school, to the surrounding villages, as long as you can afford to pay three taels of silver can come here to go to school, one is to use the children of other families to motivate their children and grandchildren to work hard, and the other is if the school will produce a few students in the future, and even for the official slaughter, but also thank him for the support of the deed, which is very beneficial to a businessman.

In the evening, Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian came home, and during the dinner in the evening, everyone talked, and Xie Qingshan and Xie Pingtian told them all about the situation.

"Winter is coming soon, and it's time for the start of winter school. Those who have families who go to school at the school say that they are accepted for those over the age of six and under the age of sixteen. Even if you are five years old, as long as you are sensible and polite, you can make an exception. ”

Xie Qingshan ate a stir-fried cabbage with chopsticks and oil residue, and looked at the two grandsons on the other side of the Eight Immortals table with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone was happy, only Xie Zhicheng had a sad face, and only pounded the chopsticks in the porridge, and even the golden scrambled eggs that he loved on weekdays had no appetite.

"Zhicheng, why don't you think you're happy? Don't want to go to school? Xie Qingshan noticed that the little grandson's expression was sluggish, not like a happy look.

"Ah...... It's not ......" Xie Zhicheng still looks at his face, the faces of his father and mother next to him are gloomy, if he dares to say a "no", I'm afraid his ass will bloom immediately.

"Then why don't you even eat your favorite scrambled eggs?" Xie Wang said with concern.

"I ...... I have a stomachache and can't eat! He was in a hurry.

"Hehe...... Xie Xuan couldn't help laughing, "Since Brother Zhicheng can't eat it, take me to eat it for you!" ”

"Dad, mother, you ignore him, I think he drank the wind when he was playing during the day, and tomorrow he will be detained at home for a day and not allowed to go out, just fine!" Lin knew what his son was thinking, glanced at him coldly, and said.

Hearing this, Xie Zhicheng became even more depressed.

"Tomorrow I will go to the county seat to buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, what books to learn in school, when school starts, it is not too late to buy it when the school is said by the gentleman!" Xie Qingshan said.

"You went to Liushutun today, did you inquire about how Second Sister Zhao is? What kind of people are her parents? "After everyone finished talking about the school, Xie Wang asked.

Xie Ping'an, who was immersed in eating, couldn't help but slow down his eating, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Xie Qingshan put down the bowl, frowned and said: "This second girl of the Zhao family doesn't have any words, I heard that she looks like the best in the village, it is this Zhao family husband and wife, who listen to people's words, but they are a little greedy for money......"

"What did you say?" Xie Wang also put down the bowl and asked carefully.

"I heard that the Zhao family originally had a big sister Zhao, who was engaged to someone in her early years. Later, the betrothed son died and died, and the family was ruined, and this eldest sister Zhao was taken by the descendants of the Wang family, who sold wontons in the county, and gave a dowry of thirty taels of silver. The husband and wife of the Zhao family repented of their marriage and married the eldest sister Zhao to the Wang family who sold wontons in the county. ”

Xie Qingshan said: "I think that this Zhao family husband and wife are a little greedy for money, and they will go back to each other two days later!" ”

"Also, I said that this Guo Pozi will not come sooner or later, but she will not come until our family is rich, and our family is safe and not an adult this year! I think if it is done, this Zhao family is afraid that the lion will open his mouth! His eldest sister wants thirty taels of silver, and according to the appearance of his second sister Zhao, wouldn't he want more? Our family can't afford to marry that high-priced daughter-in-law, even if Second Sister Zhao looks like a fairy daughter, when she meets such parents, she will have trouble in the future. ”

Xie Wang also said that she turned her head to look at her second son and said, "Seeing that the date is set, you can't regret it immediately, and your face is a little unpleasant." After reading the phase, just say that it is not on the picture, and it is a logical thing. ”

"That's right!" Xie Qingshan nodded, so the matter was settled.

Xie Xuan glanced at Xie Ping'an, who was slightly disappointed, and then looked at Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang, who had already decided on this matter, and always felt that this matter would not be so simple.
