How much money does it cost to go to the academy to study?

Xiao Qing asked with a smile: "Auntie has inquired about the use of the academy, it seems that there are not so many, I heard that a maximum of thirty or forty taels a year is enough." ”

Qiao Maoshu said: "Auntie, what you are talking about is following an ordinary teacher, because the famous teacher requires different homework every year, and the books he buys are also different. ”

Xiao Qing nodded slightly, understood.

Qiao Hong hurriedly waved his hand: "Then I still won't go, before I enter the academy, I will ask for fifty taels of silver, too much!" ”

Xiao Qing sat aside and didn't speak, she was still waiting for Qiao Maoshu's true purpose.

She didn't believe he was just coming to see their house.

But to her surprise, after Qiao Maoshu told Qiao Hong to read more of those books, he planned to leave.

"Auntie, it's not early, I still have to go back to the academy, if I ask the teacher tomorrow and have the answer, and then ask him if he is willing to take the test for Brother Hong, and then introduce Brother Hong to the academy!" Qiao Maoshu stood up and said.

Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Okay, then you will have to worry more about this matter Maoshu, Brother Hong is your younger brother, if you can enter the academy, you will take care of him in the academy in the future." ”

Qiao Maoshu has the bearing of a brother, with a solemn face: "Auntie, don't worry, I grew up with Brother Hong and studied together, if he can enter the academy, it will be a glorious thing for our old Qiao family, and I will definitely help you." ”

Xiao Qing squinted and nodded with a smile: "Maoshu is really sensible!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Qing and Qiao Hong and his sister-in-law were very polite and friendly to him, Qiao Maoshu had words in his mouth and knew that it was time to speak.

He lowered his head and sighed: "By the way, Auntie, I studied in the academy in the early years, and I knew very little about the two families, and this time I came back and saw that there was less business in Qiao's shop, so I learned something about the situation of our two families with my father and mother, and then I knew how hard it was for my aunt to take her cousins, cousins, sisters-in-law and nephews, I heard my father say, in the early years, he also occupied a lot of land in your family, and I felt very sad when I saw you live, I went home today and told my father, let him return the land to you, these years, the relationship between the two families is not good because of the land, Because the relationship between the eldest brother and Shuhua's ignorant two families is getting worse and worse, Auntie, I represent my father and my mother, my brother and Shuhua, apologize to Auntie, in the future, Auntie's family goes to the store to eat, drink, don't worry about who is there, and no one will stop you, if there is no support from the uncle, Maoshu as a reader, remember to do things and be a man can not forget the roots, let alone forget to drink water and think of the source, Auntie, my father and my mother listen to me the most, I will tell them when I go back, When the time comes, give the eldest lady a satisfactory explanation? ”

Xiao Qing listened to his words sincerely and earnestly, if he hadn't been humiliated by Qiao Xiangmin and Qiao Maosheng three or four times, he would have really believed him!

She smiled suddenly, and before she could speak, she heard Qiao Hong say: "Brother, leave the matter of the previous generation to the previous generation, our brothers have a good relationship, not to mention what the second uncle and second aunt do, it is not a sentence that can be solved, for so many years, they have hurt the hearts of their mother and brother and sister-in-law too much, and they have to pay it back, but it will not be better if the human affection hurts for a while." ”

Xiao Qing looked at Qiao Hong with appreciation, this kid is more knowledgeable than Qiao Erjing, he has more experience outside, and there are still benefits, he has seen many people, he has encountered many things, and he understands the sophistication of the world, and he will not be persuaded by a little benefit, a few soft words.

It was fitting that he could not have said these words.

Qiao Maoshu listened to Qiao Hong's words, and was slightly stunned, didn't this kid say what he said before? Why are you still singing against him?

He smiled: "Brother Hong, you can't say that, one day you and I studied together in Yaoshan Academy, watching the parents of the previous generation discord, often quarreling over trivial matters, or ignoring each other, how embarrassing did the two of us encounter then?" …… It's the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? We are all members of the old Qiao family, all surnamed Qiao, how can there be such a big hatred, after all, it is an ancestor, you are still young, you don't understand the benefits of having brothers and sisters outside! ”

Tut-tut, look at how much Qiao Xiangmin's family can talk, and it feels different when a reader says it, Xiao Qing secretly smiled shamefully.

I only heard Qiao Hong's face change and said: "Wait for the second uncle and second aunt to show sincerity, Brother Mao Shu, my family has experienced a lot over the years, you haven't seen it, and you don't understand, our family has been united!" Is your family united? ”

Qiao Maoshu: "......"

He looked at Qiao Hong, trying to find the cowardice of the year from his face, but Qiao Hong only had perseverance on his face, and he couldn't see the appearance of a child back then, Qiao Hong seemed to have become a teenager in the past two years.

This rhetorical question is undoubtedly slapping him in the face, his second brother and his father are separated, and the eldest brother is not divided, if their family is united, there will be no matter for him to persuade his father, and the family will not have three or four ideas.

Qiao Maoshu's face turned red, and he was asked by Qiao Hong.

He coughed lightly twice to ease his embarrassment.

"Of course, my family is very united." Qiao Maoshu said with a smile.

Qiao Hong smiled, and said in a gentle tone: "Yes, the second uncle and the second aunt have always been the same in their treatment of my family, of course, everything is united, Brother Mao Shu, a lot of things have happened in the past two years, you and I are both older, don't say anything if our two families are one family, you look at my family, and then look at your family, one is in the county, one is in the village, then the Qiao family inn is opened with my father's money, but it has nothing to do with us, we are two families, not one!" ”

Qiao Maoshu stared at Qiao Hong for a long time and didn't move away, is this kid capable?

Does he still want to enter Yaoshan Academy?

When it comes to the affairs of the two families, just rush?

Qiao Hong looked back at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, no hostility.

Xiao Qing saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he hurriedly played a round.

"Maoshu, Brother Hong, you two don't talk all the time, drink some hot tea, eat some preserved fruits, these are all just bought by the eldest lady from the county today." Xiao Qing smiled: "I can't understand what the two of you are talking more and more incomprehensible, what a family and two families, children's families, don't take anything to heart, Ang, Maoshu, don't take it to heart." ”

Qiao Maoshu looked at Xiao Qing and tried to squeeze out a sneer: "Thank you, auntie, it's really not early, I'll go back, and I'll bother me tomorrow." ”

Xiao Qing saw him salute and smiled modestly: "Okay, my aunt is simple here, I can't keep you, but, Maoshu, you go back and tell your father, aunt, I don't have any requirements for your family, as long as you return my family's thirty or forty acres of land to us, everything is easy to say, we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the farmers who rely on the land to survive, without land, there will be nothing left at home, your father won't let us live, you won't watch us starve to death, right?" Let our family survive before we can say that we are two families, right? ”
