Chapter 313: Erbao goes to school.
It was too late, and Yao Nian and the others did not return to Happy Village, and stayed in Delicious Zhai for one night.
Early the next morning, the business of Meimeizhai was still as hot as yesterday, and Yao Nian recruited a few more waiters to reluctantly come over, if it was really like yesterday, I am afraid that he would really be tired and sick.
After a busy morning, after noon, the sun outside is a little bigger, and most of the customers in the restaurant leave after eating and go back to take a nap.
Yao Nian was also a little sleepy, but she cheered up when she thought that the three children she promised yesterday would take them to the street to play and play.
"Two treasures, three treasures, four treasures." She beckoned the three of them over and asked in a low voice, "Where are you Uncle Ouyang?" ”
Erbao pursed his lips and replied, "Uncle Ouyang said that he was too tired and wanted to sleep for a while, so let's not call him." ”
In the past two days, it was Ouyang Jin and Chun Tao who were cooking, and they were indeed tired.
Thinking of this, Yao Nian dispelled the idea of letting him go with him.
"Then let's go by ourselves, go shopping on the street, just play, we haven't had a good walk in Shuzhou for so long."
Hearing this, the three children became happy, took Yao Nian's hand and walked out.
It was noon, the sun was scorching, and there was no one on the street.
Yao Nian led them to the ready-to-wear store, and bought them all from the inside out, and Ouyang Jin didn't leave a few people behind, and asked the shopkeeper of the store to deliver the things to Meimeizhai.
On the street, there were many jugglers, and when they saw Yao Nian bringing people over, their wilting expressions suddenly rose, and they performed hard, and the three children watched it very attentively.
"Mother, are the people in Shuzhou so good? They also gave us performances for free. Sambo asked with an innocent little face.
Sibao heard this and complained, "Sanbao is really stupid, how can they show us for free?" Look at it, you're going to be asking for money in a while. ”
"Really?" Sambo's little face wrinkled.
Yao Nian stretched out his hand and patted Sibao's head, with a gentle smile with a bit of rebuke, "Sibao, don't talk nonsense, they make all the hard-earned money, you know?" ”
Sibao hung his head, "Yes, I know." ”
At the end of the performance, Yao Nian gave the silver to Sanbao, who obediently put it in their palms and said thank you.
"Mother, did I do the right thing?" She ran back and asked proudly.
Yao Nian nodded her little nose and said with a smile, "That's right, San Bao is really polite and a good boy." ”
"Hey, hey." She chuckled.
Yao Nian led them on, and when they passed a mansion, Erbao stopped.
There was a loud reading sound in the courtyard, and the eyes of the three children were all attracted.
Yao Nian glanced at the gate of the house, the door was closed, and there were a few elegant characters on the sign outside the door.
Presumably this is the academy in Shuzhou for children to study.
"Does Erbao want to go to school?" Yao Nian lowered his head and asked him.
Erbao nodded, and said all the words in his heart, "Mother, I want to go to school, I want to be a general, but I also want to be literate and be a useful person, when the time comes, I can make as much money as my mother, I will buy a big house for my mother, and I won't live in Happy Village." ”
Yao Nian's heart was a little warm, and he deliberately asked, "Does Erbao think that Happy Village is not good?" ”
He shook his head, "Erbao doesn't think Happy Village is bad, but thinks Xinfu Village is very good, but the people over there are also very bad, I want my mother to stay away from them, and they are always troublesome in the province." ”
Yao Nian rubbed his head and took his hand and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
"Mother?" Erbao was in a very worried mood, what does this mean? Did you agree with him to go to school?
"Since Erbao wants to go to school, then my mother will let Erbao go to school, and at Erbao's current age, it's time to go to school." Yao Nian said this to him as he knocked on the wooden door.
The sound of reading inside came to an abrupt end.
After a while, an old man with a white beard opened the door and looked at her suspiciously.
"Is there something wrong with this girl?"
A kind smile appeared on Yao Nian's face, and he pushed Erbao forward, "Hello, you are a gentleman, I don't know if you still accept students, how about you look at my son?" ”
The old man touched his beard and glanced at Erbao, and nodded, "It's a good seedling, I don't know if I will study diligently." ”
When his words fell, Erbao raised his face and said solemnly, "Don't worry, teacher, I will study hard." ”
There was a look of surprise on the old man's face, and the children he met were either unwilling to learn, or they were looking for all kinds of reasons to go home.
It was the first time he had seen someone so diligent and studious.
"The children can be taught." He spat out and opened the door to let them in, "Let's take a look at the environment of our academy first." ”
Yao Nian led them in, the courtyard was not big, three spacious houses, one was a study room full of books, and the other was a teaching room, and more than a dozen children sat on the mats, looking at them curiously.
The other kitchen is very basic, but it is clean.
"This is our environment here, we come to class in the morning, we don't go home at noon, and we can go home after class at night." The old man said.
"What do you think, Erbao?" Yao Nian asked him.
Erbao ran to the house full of books, looked through it with curiosity, found a favorite one, and was very surprised to show it to Yao Nian.
"Mother, look, this is the art of war, I can understand it."
"Would the two treasures like to go to school here?"
He nodded heavily, "Mother, I do!" ”
After getting his answer, Yao Nian turned his gaze to the old man and said with a smile, "I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”
"Xu Shu."
"Mr. Xu, I don't know what the fees in your academy are?" Yao Nian asked again.
Xu Shu touched his beard and slowly spoke, "We all have one child here for one hundred taels of silver, and the end of the month is calculated for food." ”
"Okay." Yao Nian took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it over, "Then I will hand over our family's two treasures to you." ”
"Okay." He took it, pointed to an empty mat in the lecture room, and said, "You can sit there in the future, and you can listen to it today to see if you can understand." ”
"Go ahead." Yao Nian nudged him gently.
Erbao sat down, Xu Shu also began to talk about the class, and the sound of reading loudly sounded again.
Yao Nian looked at it for a while, gave Erbao a gesture and left.
If Erbao studies here, then she will have to buy a house in Shuzhou.
Walking around the city, there is a big mansion closest to the restaurant, which seems to have been abandoned for many years.
Yao Nian asked someone, thinking that such a broken house was not worth much, but he was startled when he asked.
It is said that it was once the house of a wealthy merchant, and it was abandoned after they moved their family, and it was very spiritual, and the more they lived, the richer they became, and it was worth a thousand taels of gold.
Yao Nian was extremely speechless when he heard him, and found a very new house with good decoration.
"How much money does this house cost?" Yao Nian asked while standing at the door of the house.
