The village chief smiled and clicked the cigarette pouch pot and lit the masters.

"That's good, in the future, the village boy won't worry about his daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that good girls from near and far will want to marry in."

Everyone thought about it, and said with a smile, "Then our girl is afraid that she is more sought-after, she has earned work since she was a child, and her dowry is very rich." ”

"Fat water doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, our daughter is better to marry in this village, but we can't be cheap for a boy from another village."

"That's right, the school will be built in the autumn, and my daughter will also go to study and learn to write and count."

The men squatted together, thinking about their daughter-in-law not to get drunk, and at the same time thinking about the future, all smiling happily.

I am not afraid of hardship, but I am afraid that there is no rush.

With Bentou, I am full of strength every day, and I don't feel tired no matter how hard I work!

Not long after Li Laosi stepped into the house with the half-drunk Tao Hongying on his back, Li Laosi also came back with Jiaren Jiayi.

The three of them all had smiles on their faces, and it was rare for Jiaren to be like a child, surrounding his grandmother and talking about the goodness of Luo'an Academy.

"Grandma, the academy is just a dozen miles east of the new capital outside the Yunwu Mountain, the scenery is particularly good, there is a small town outside the academy, but it is lively. Many gentlemen in the academy eat in small shops like students, and they are very easy-going. Many students still hold guqin and flutes, and I heard that everyone who enters the academy has to learn the same instrument. ”

Mrs. Li listened carefully, and the smile on her face never fell. She doesn't care if this academy is good or not, if she can make her grandson so happy, she has to go.

Jiayin sat in the arms of his eldest brother, listening to his eyebrows fluttering, and he was also happy for his eldest brother.

This is what a young man should look like, wanton and public, not as deep as Gujing Wubo.

Xu was aware that he was too excited, Jiaren blushed and whispered, "Grandma, am I talking too much?" But this academy is really good. ”

"Not much, not much, grandma is happy. When you go to school, grandma will personally see you off, and when you have a good classmate, she will also bring us to play at home. Mrs. Li smiled and patted her grandson on the shoulder.

However, Li Lao Er said beside him, "The bundle of the academy is not cheap, it costs sixty taels a year." Food and shelter and so on, add them together, I'm afraid it will cost a hundred taels. ”

Mrs. Li immediately waved her hand and responded, "If our family was worried before, now we are not afraid." There are at least three or four hundred taels of dividends a year in the valley, and there are melon fields, which are precious things, and they can definitely sell a lot of silver, which is enough for my grandson to study. ”

After that, she took Jiaren's hand and instructed: "Jiaren, when you go to the academy, concentrate on your studies, don't worry about anything." Grandma is not the only grandson of you, and she can't only hurt you. If you really can't get it out of your shackles, I will definitely tell you, and everyone will figure it out together. So, don't be careful, study hard, you know? ”

Jiayin also nodded his little head, shook the gold bracelet in his hand, and the bell jingled, "Big brother, Fu Niu has silver, read to you!" ”

The little girl's arms are as fat as lotus roots, white and white, with gold bracelets, very cute.

The whole family couldn't help laughing, and Jiaren kissed his sister's arm and responded, "Okay, the eldest brother is short of silver, so I'll ask you to borrow it." When you get married, the eldest brother will pay you back tenfold! ”

"Okay!" Jiayin proudly raised his little chin and looked at Li Laoer, "The second uncle also said that it is difficult to do business, look at how easy it is for me." ”

The family couldn't stop laughing, and Mrs. Li gently knocked her granddaughter's head, "Little girl, you robbed your brother, what kind of business is it." ”

The evening breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness that was not present during the day, and it also spread the laughter of everyone far.

Mr. Wen didn't let the Li family wait long, and rushed over at dusk three days later.

The Li family happened to be setting up dinner, and Tao Hongying hurriedly added two dishes before inviting Mr. Wen to the table.

Mr. Wen asked Wen Hai to bring in two baskets, one containing most of the eggs and the other containing two hens.

"This is what my sister asked me to bring, her Zhuangzi is digging a lotus pond, I'm afraid it will take a few days to come over."

"Digging a lotus pond?" Mrs. Li was surprised and asked, "This is not a small job, is there enough manpower?" ”

"It's enough," Mr. Wen said with a smile, "My aunt doesn't know that some of the manpower on her Zhuangzi was recruited by the Hou Mansion, so find some heavy work for these people, take the opportunity to see what kind of conduct they have, and those who are lazy and slippery will be thrown out." ”

Everyone was relieved, and they all sat down and began to eat.

After eating, the table was removed, and everyone drank tea together, Mr. Wen said, "I have already arranged it at the academy, and in three days, Jiaren can go directly." ”

As he spoke, he took a post from his arms.

"When you get to the gate of the college, just give the post to the doorman. Naturally, someone greeted me, and I would go to see it when I had free time, but more often, Jiaren still has to rely on himself, get along with his classmates, adapt to schoolwork, take care of his own food and housing, and you must be prepared in your heart. ”

Jiaren hurriedly took the post with both hands and thanked him solemnly.

The Li family is happy for Jiaren, Zhao Yuru said, "I rushed in the past two days to sew two new clothes for Jiaren." ”

Tao Hongying also said, "I'll fry a jar of meat sauce for Jiaren and make more dry noodles, in case the meal is not appetizing, I can also cushion my stomach." ”

Li Lao Er also smiled and said, "Mother, I'll send Jiaren over when the time comes." ”

Jiayin has long been eager to try, she has been depressed for a long time, and she has long been looking forward to going out for a walk.

At this moment, she hugged her grandmother's neck, and her chubby little body twisted into a twist, "Milk, Fu Niu is going, she is going!" ”

The old lady was also worried about seeing where her eldest grandson would study in the future, and she was troubled by her baby granddaughter, so she hurriedly surrendered, "Okay, okay, when the time comes, whoever can put down their work will follow suit." ”

Jia An Jiaxi had been looking forward to it for a long time, and they jumped up when they heard this.

"Oh, it's time to hang out!"

"I'm sending my big brother to school!"

Everyone was amused, two naughty boys were buddies in the valley, and it was most convenient to be lazy, so they must follow.

Mrs. Li remembered something, so she said to Mr. Wen, "Sir, a school will be built in the village in the autumn, and these boys can't be allowed to be buddies in the valley for the rest of their lives." Do you have the right person to help us find one? ”

Mr. Wen nodded, "I also pay attention to it on weekdays, take a look slowly, and I will definitely find a suitable one." ”

"Great, these boys are like wild horses, they can only be honest with a halter."

The family gossiped a few more words, and Mr. Wen thought about it and said, "Auntie, a few days ago, the fourth child told me that he wanted to check a family in Willow Alley in the south of the city, and I sent Ye Hai to inquire. The Wang family is a side branch, and the lineage is also a veteran family, and there are indeed many officials and scholars. I also have a colleague from the Wang family, who knocked on the side and asked a few things......"

The old lady nervously grabbed the armrest of the chair, and her lips trembled for a while before asking, "Wang family...... That person, but the eldest of my family? ”
