The small stone was generous, dipped his fingers in water, and wrote two big words on the table neatly and neatly - Yu Fu.

Yuan Sinian ate braised vegetables with relish while watching the little guy write seriously. Seeing that he wrote his name well, he smiled and said, "Yes, the son can be taught!" Yu Xing, would you like to study at Rongxuan Academy with me? ”

The golden shopkeeper listened to it from the sidelines, and his heart was full of envy and jealousy. This little guy was lucky, he had an older sister who could cook, so he could only write his own name, so he was honored to let Yuan Daru personally admit him into the academy. Although his son is not amazing, he was admitted to the academy with his true ability, but because of him. Repent, he regretted that his intestines were blue!

Xiao Shi blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Old man, thank you for your kindness." But we haven't saved enough yet, so when we've saved enough, we'll go back to town and look for you......"

The shopkeeper Jin listened on the side, and hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Yuan is a contemporary Confucian, and the Rongxuan Academy he founded is one of the best in our Ming Dynasty, and others can't enter it if they want to!" Don't miss your chance, little one! ”

"Wow! Old sir, you are so powerful!! In the future, I want to be like you and become a respectable person! Xiao Shi looked at Yuan Sinian in amazement, and for the first time in his small heart, the emotion of worship rose.

"Haha! Little one, what do you do like me? Don't you want to be a big official, so that your parents, brothers and sisters no longer have to be looked down upon and bullied? The innocent words can best reflect the child's heart, Yuan Sinian laughed, and was in a good mood.

Xiao Shi wrinkled his bun face, and said very entangled in his heart: "That...... Listening to what you say, it's not bad to be an official. I want to be like you, to be a person that everyone respects, and I want to be a big official, so that my father, mother, brothers and sisters can enjoy happiness with me, isn't it greedy? ”

Yu Xiaocao listened to a burst of amusement, knocked on his head, and said, "This hasn't been admitted yet, and you've started to think so far?" I'm going to send you to study, but I just want you to know the etiquette, you think it's so easy to be an official? That's to participate in the scientific examination again and again, you look at the uncle, I have been reading books for more than ten years, and I haven't even passed the show! Wear as big a hat as you have your head, and don't have a heart too high, otherwise you will fall very hard! ”

Yuan Sinian put down his chopsticks, stroked his proud hair, and said with a smile: "Little guy, your sister's words are not unreasonable. But, people! Always have an ideal and a goal. Of course, utopian dreams and lofty ambitions are also unacceptable!

Alright, it's getting late, it's time for us to go. Little girl, I Yuan Sinian has always promised a thousand gold, you can send your younger brother over first, those with excellent grades in our academy can be exempted from all fees, and the book, ink, pen and inkstone will be rewarded. Besides, your braised vegetables taste really good, and I have a chance to taste them again. ”

When the golden shopkeeper saw Yuan Daru get up, he hurriedly stepped forward to help carry the luggage. Taking advantage of Mr. Yuan's good mood today, he said worriedly:

"Sir, everything is my fault. Our family has been passed down for six generations, and I am a middle-aged child, so I love Zhuo'er too much. Change, I will definitely change it in the future! Our family Zhuo'er, since she was expelled from school, has been thinking about tea and food all day long, and she almost didn't survive this winter. You see...... Can you give it another chance? ”

Yuan Sinian looked at the splendid carriage in front of him speechlessly, glanced at him lightly, and said, "If you eat hard, you will become a master." Doing learning is originally a chore, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the opportunity can be given to you, if Jin Wenzhuo can't bear the hardship, it's better to leave as soon as possible! ”

"Yes! Yes!! Our family Zhuoer can endure hardships!! Thank you, Mr. Yuan, thank you......" Seeing that his efforts had finally paid off, the golden shopkeeper burst into tears, and thanked him with joy.

The satisfied golden shopkeeper, with a generation of famous Confucians who were full of meat, left this lively and messy dock. Whoever they are, they will never forget that there is a little girl selling braised vegetables on the dock. It was she who made her wish fulfilled......

And the famous Confucian Yuan Sinian became a frequent visitor to Tanggu Wharf, and often took a carriage for more than an hour to rush from the town to the wharf to "grab food" with a group of rough old men on the wharf. Ahem, of course, Xiaocao won't let him really huddle with the dock workers to buy braised vegetables, after all, he is also his brother's husband!

"Dad, mother! We met the old gentleman in Xiaowenge Academy today, and he agreed to accept me to study at the academy! "On the way back, Little Rock was always excited. He kept asking Xiaocao if he could really go to the town to study? Is this true? Xiaocao asked funny and sad at the same time.

Yu Hai, who was chopping wood, stopped what he was doing, greeted him, took the heavy basket in his daughter's hand, and touched his son's head again, his smile was full of helplessness and self-blame: "Stone, Dad knows that you want to go to school." However, the current situation in our family is not very allowed...... You're still young, let's wait until next year to go to school, okay? ”

The news that the eldest son of the old Qian family next door passed the test and was admitted to the most famous academy in the town is no longer news in Dongshan Village. It is said that Rongxuan Academy has only been open for more than ten years, and it has already produced two champions, one is a list eye, and the other is a flower. People in the village said that the ancestral tomb of the Qian family was smoking, and he was going to become a big official!

Thanks to the money family, they raised one or two hundred ducks, and made some money by selling duck eggs and sending ducks to restaurants in the town. Otherwise, Rongxuan Academy's nearly one tael a month is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Now don't talk about a tael of silver at home, if it weren't for Xiaocao selling braised vegetables for two days, the family wouldn't even be able to make up 300 yuan. Alas! It's that he, who is useless as a father, can't satisfy the child's desire to read......

Xiaocao saw the strong self-blame in his father's eyes, stepped forward and gently grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "The dean of Rongxuan Academy has taken a fancy to his daughter's craftsmanship in braised vegetables, and he promised that we can first default on the shackles, and then make up for it when we earn money."

Mr. Dean also said that the college can also waive all fees for students who excel in the test. The academy tests every three months, as long as Xiaoshi works hard, we only need to make up the restraints for three months......

Dad, don't worry, when your feet are all healed and the spring prey breeding season is over, you can hunt to subsidize your family. In more than a month, our vegetables can be sold, are you afraid that you won't be able to make up the three-month bundle? ”

Yu Hai touched his left leg, which was not yet able to exert his strength, and sighed softly. After Xiaocao's daily massage, his legs have improved greatly, and now he doesn't need crutches to walk, and he can do what he can.

In the past, the doctor in the city came to the conclusion that "his leg can't be saved", which made him even want to die. To be able to recover like this, along with the doctor of Rentang, felt incredible, he should be content. can be completely restored, how great the temptation to be able to go up the mountain to hunt is, he can't help but look forward to it in the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that his father was looking down and pondering something, Xiaocao turned to Xiaoshi, touched his little face that began to grow flesh, and said with a smile: "We will wait for a few more days, my sister will make money and make you two new clothes, so that our family Shishi will go to the academy in good spirits!" Wait for Brother Wen next door to come back, and then ask what to prepare for going to the academy, we can't let Yu Xing's little scholar be wronged in the academy! ”

Xiao Shi seemed to be very satisfied with the title of "Yu Xing's Little Scholar", and he said happily: "Second sister, you don't need to prepare anything!" I heard Brother Xiaowen say that the academy has prepared a place for students to live, and there is also a place to eat. You don't have to make clothes for me, the academy doesn't laugh at the poor! As long as I behave well, no one will dare to look down on me! ”

"Laughing clumsy or not, this word must have been heard from Brother Wen Xiao, right? Little brother, you also saw that our business is so good, isn't it a small dish to make you two clothes? Don't say it, take out your purse and count how many copper plates have been sold today? On the way back, the little thing kept carrying a heavy purse, and his mouth couldn't be closed, and he looked like a little money fan.

Liu Shi and Xiaolian put down the embroidery work in their hands, took the pig's head and large intestine in the basket, and said to Xiaocao with a smile: "You can rest!" We'll take care of the work! Don't worry, prepare marinade or something, maybe we are not good at it, but we can still do it. ”

Xiaocao is also happy to be the shopkeeper, smiling and playing with the small stones, counting the copper plates. Today's harvest is obviously much better than yesterday's, all the braised vegetables were sold for a total of 130 copper plates, plus the gold shopkeeper's reward of a penny of silver, today I made a net profit of more than 200 yuan!

Today, I asked at the market on the wharf, and the home-woven cotton cloth on the market was only 234 Wen, and I pulled a few feet of cloth on the small stone, and said that it should be no problem to make two cotton clothes with half a pound of cotton. However, if you want to add some four treasures of the study or something, it is estimated that it is far from enough, and it is said that that thing is expensive!

It seems that we still have to work hard these days! Xiaocao stared at the pile of copper plates in a daze, looking for some other way to make money.

"Second sister, can the little yellow croaker you brought back yesterday be marinated and sold? The uncles on the dock all asked us if we would go to sell braised vegetables in the afternoon! Xiao Shi was thinking about the same problem as her.

The income of more than 200 yuan a day gave him a taste of sweetness, so that he could make up his shackles in five or six days! The family has a stable income, so he can go to the academy with peace of mind. It's a pity that you can only buy a pair of pig-headed pigs in the market, which is not enough to sell in the morning!

Small yellow croaker? She knows a lot about the practice of small yellow croaker, what is "dry fried small yellow croaker", "salty crispy small yellow croaker", "sweet and sour small yellow croaker"...... These are delicious, but they are very labor-intensive, and it costs money to buy small yellow croaker, oil and seasonings, and if you pay two pennies, it is estimated that you can't make a few dollars after removing the cost......
