Chapter 172: Yes, I Am
"And how do you want to make money?"
Du Yunnuan smiled slightly, "For example, I accidentally found a hundred-year-old ginseng or something." ”
Xie Chi didn't want to ask anymore.
This is Du Yunnuan's secret.
"If you want to know about Chixia Academy, I'll let Cheng Xiu tell you, he knows everything you want to know."
Du Yunnuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she always felt that asking Xie Chi about the academy's cultivation life or something like this was like pulling down a person on the altar, this feeling was particularly subtle.
But in the face of Cheng Xiu, she has no pressure.
Although Cheng Xiuping was silent, when Du Yunnuan asked him, he still knew everything and said everything.
Then Du Yunnuan knew that Chixia Academy was very large, and it was true that the Xie family was located in Chixia Town, but the entire Chixia Academy was several times larger than Chixia Town, and Chixia Town was almost within the scope of Chixia Academy.
Chixia Academy is divided into several colleges, usually everyone goes to the college to take classes, lives in a separate dormitory, and can go to the town below on the day of rest.
The year's bundle of the academy is 50 taels of silver, which includes a student's tuition fee for a year, book fees, accommodation fees, eight sets of college uniforms for all seasons, and three meals a day.
These fees are fixed, and the places where the students live are also uniform, of course, if there is a family member who must go to accompany them, then they can only go to the town below to rent a house by themselves.
In addition, because the college pursues the six arts of a gentleman, the cost of learning archery and horse riding is also included in this tuition, after all, the maintenance of bows and arrows and the raising of horses require labor and money.
In other words, in the Chixia Academy, except for your personal expenses, everything else is included in this bundle.
Du Yunnuan calculated casually, and felt that this bundle of cultivation was not expensive at all.
However, Du Yunnuan also understands that there will be a wind of comparison everywhere, although there are eight sets of clothes a year, the college provides three meals a day, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone almost do not have to spend their own money, presumably living in the college, normal daily necessities and even lamp oil do not need to be bothered by the people who go to study, but as long as they live together, there will definitely be other expenses.
For example, if you occasionally improve your food, or go out with your classmates for a small get-together, or hold a poetry meeting to get acquainted with everyone, this is an additional expense.
However, Du Yunnuan knows his brother, and it is basically good to be able to use one hundred taels a year.
Du Yunnuan nodded lightly, feeling that this little cost was not a problem.
Although she has been imprisoned in Shuiyue Temple for ten years, she is not a fool, when Mrs. Shui Chang reads Taoist scriptures with her every day, she is clearly chanting, and she is actually teaching her some family knowledge and common sense, but every day is only half an hour, and what she learns is just some key.
In the imperial capital, those gentlemen spent more than a hundred taels of silver casually.
That is, Du Yunnuan, who didn't have much idea about the Du family's life in the past, felt that a hundred taels of silver was not a problem, and when it came to Du Lianping and Lian Ruolan, the husband and wife must think about it carefully, and put it to Du Yunlan, which is definitely a refusal.
Du Yunnuan hadn't thought of this yet, but Xie Chi, who knew the situation of the Du family very well, thought of it in advance.
However, he didn't dampen Du Yunnuan's enthusiasm, and waited for the little girl to leave before he instructed Cheng Xiu, "Leave tomorrow, you go to the county school and help me make an appointment with Du Yunlan." ”
"Yes, Childe." Cheng Xiu didn't have any doubts and went out quickly.
Du Yunlan usually leaves class early in the afternoon, and he sometimes goes out with his classmates, but recently the college exam is approaching, and everyone is not in the mood, Du Yunlan usually goes home early, should read books, and do things.
On this day, he was a little late, and as soon as he left the gate of the county school, he was stopped by a strange young man.
"Du Gongzi, my son-in-law's surname is Xie, and I want to invite Du Gongzi to talk about it in Tianfang Teahouse."
The surname Xie is very reminiscent of Chixia Xie's family, and Du Yunlan thought that after Du Yunnuan was rescued by Yan Tingfeng, he was sent to the manor of a son surnamed Xie to stay for a few days, and because of this, he found his grandmother.
followed Cheng Xiu to the Tianfang Teahouse.
Tianfang Teahouse usually has a lot of students, but when the college exam is like this, there are fewer people visible to the naked eye.
Xie Chi booked a private room with good privacy, and Du Yunlan went directly up from the back door and entered the private room, but she didn't show up at all.
Such a big battle made Du Yunlan's heart wake up a little, and this heart has always been carried out.
When he saw Xie Chi, Du Yunlan greeted him first, "Contemptible Du Yunlan, I've seen Gongzi Xie." ”
Xie Chi was still holding a folding fan in his hand, wearing a loose and comfortable robe, after seeing Du Yunlan, the folding fan in his hand shook, he thought to himself, this Du Yunnuan family, none of them are ugly.
And this Du Yunlan looked at it, his eyes were like stars, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his eyes were clean, although he was a little vigilant, he could see at a glance that he was an upright and elegant young man.
Xie Chi pointed at the folding fan in his hand, "Du Yunlan, please take a seat." ”
Du Yunlan was also not polite, picked up her clothes and sat down.
After Du Yunlan sat down, Xie Chi didn't speak, the air was a little stagnant for a while, and it was Du Yunlan who finally took the initiative to break this dullness.
"Dare to ask Gongzi Xie, do you know your sister?"
This is not a good starting point for speaking, Xie Chi also moved his eyes slightly, and then he understood what Du Yunlan meant, and a thought came to his heart, a good brother.
"Yes, Miss Du lived in my manor for a few days, and she had a good relationship with my sister-in-law, and she did me a great favor afterwards."
Du Yunlan was about to speak, but because of this sentence, he was stunned and didn't say anything.
Because Xie Chi's next sentence has already been spoken.
"It just so happened that I had something to do in Quxi County in the past two days, and I met Miss Du, who invited me to eat a bowl of noodles, and I asked a few words curiously, knowing that Miss Du accidentally got some seeds, and the yield of these seeds is higher than that of ordinary seeds."
"I want to promote these seeds, which will naturally damage the interests of your family, so in addition to the compensation given to your Du family in normal cooperation, I just want to ask Du Yunlan a question to you, do you want to go to Chixia Academy to study?"
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Xie, my name is Chi, and the word is Jiayan."
"I want to ...... You've probably heard my name. ”
only heard a loud "clang", and the chair fell directly to the ground because the person who got up moved too fast, Du Yunlan looked shocked and wanted to take a step back, but was hooked by the chair and almost fell directly.
"You...... Are you Xie Chi? ”
"That Xie Chi!?"
Xie Chi smiled and said, "Yes, it's me." ”
