Shen Xinyue said politely: "It turned out to be Brother Qi, I often hear my aunt mention you and say that you study very hard." ”

Qi Yunshu clenched his fists and coughed lightly at his mouth.

If they are really sisters, they speak in a normal straight way.

"My mother said that you want to go to the academy to study, and Tongjin Academy actually also opens a women's school, I inquired, there are many courses in it, in addition to cultural courses, there are also mathematics, engineering and riding archery, etc., but the tuition is not cheap, 300 Wen per person per month."

Three hundred wen, but it's enough for a family's expenses for a month.

What's more, he heard that the Shen family has several children.

In this way, I am afraid that it will cost several dollars per month.

"Thank you, Brother Qi." After Shen Xinyue thanked her, several people went home.

"Eldest sister, the tuition is too expensive, and I don't like to study anyway, or I won't go, so I can help you work at home."

Shen Xinyue put the things in the stove room, and then said patiently: "Even if you go to see what the school looks like, or make a friend." ”

She never thought that she had to let her younger sisters succeed in their studies.

Shen March didn't understand: "The tuition fee is so expensive every month, just to make friends?" ”

"Learning is to increase knowledge, if you only know how to work hard, then you can only do nothing in your life. Besides, the only happy time for girls is a few years, and I hope that you can find your own interests and hobbies through learning and do what you like. ”

In ancient times, there were too many constraints on women, and once they got married, they would not be free.

Shen Yueyue seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she also knew that the eldest sister was for their good.

Shen Xinyue patted the shoulders of her two younger sisters, and pretended to be relaxed: "As for the tuition fee, the store is going to open now, and you have also seen how popular our spicy skewers are, and they will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes." ”

Although Shen Xinyue said this, she was also panicked in her heart.

She doesn't have a problem killing people and goods, but it's the first time she's done business.

In the evening, after dinner at home, Mrs. Shen took a few granddaughters and began to string spicy skewers.

Shen Xinyue sat on the side and sharpened bamboo sticks.

"There will be a big set tomorrow, there will definitely be more people, do more today, and pass it early tomorrow. Brother Qi has already helped to inquire, I will go to the academy to see the stall tomorrow, if you can, when the shop is ready, I will send you to school. This way, if you are busy with schoolwork, you can rest in the store. ”

The two shops she fancies, one is at the head of the market, although it is only about 20 square meters, and the price is not cheap, but it is better than the location.

The other is on the main street, the shop is divided into two parts, the front is fifty or sixty square meters of shop, and there is a patio in the back, counting the east and west wings, there are a total of five rooms.

The total price of these two shops is 220 yuan.

Almost half of the assets in his hand were removed at once, which made Shen Xinyue feel a sense of crisis in her heart.

It seems that I still have to go to the pharmacy and sell some more ginseng in the space.

Before dawn on the second day, the whole family got up early in the morning, even the youngest Shen Jiyue did not lie in bed.

As soon as they had eaten, Shen Gui'an and Shen Lanhua came over.

The Hu family drove the mule cart and waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

He was accompanied by a big mouth and another aunt.

"Orchids seem to have gotten prettier lately." The aunt looked at Shen Lanhua and praised.

Although they are all surnamed Shen, Shen Lanhua is still very ordinary among the Shen Xinyue sisters.

However, looking at the skin, it is very different from the previous black and thin.

Hearing her praise, Shen Lanhua pursed her lips and laughed embarrassedly. The heart of the jade face ointment is really effective.

"The eighteen changes in the female college are naturally getting better and better." opened his mouth wide and leaned forward, leaning forward close to Shen Lanhua and gossiping: "I heard that your mother is giving your eldest brother a daughter-in-law, and there seems to be a new regulation on it, in order to levy more poll tax, you must force marriage." ”

The people in the car all turned around curiously.

"Zhao family, where did you hear the news, do you count?"

Seeing that the success had attracted everyone's attention, he opened his mouth wide and suddenly became angry.

"Although it is gossip, it has already been spread in private, you think about it, today is either a war here, or there is a disaster there, and there is no money above, so you have to change the law to get money from the people?"

In fact, she was able to say this last time when she went to the town to eavesdrop on the small talk between two officials.

"Men over 18 and women over 16 must get married, otherwise the official media will come to the door."

Seeing that she said that she had a nose and eyes, everyone muttered in their hearts.

Especially Shen Xinyue, her birthday is very big, just in the first month, in case there is really this policy, it is really a troublesome thing.

But there are exceptions to everything, and besides, there is nothing to do about it, and it is a fantasy to think about it now.

After a few people arrived in the town, the Hu brothers went to deliver tofu, and Shen Xinyue and his party went straight to the market.

It's not too early for them to come, and the good places are basically occupied.

Finally found a place that was quite at the front, Shen Gui'an put down the stove, Shen Xinyue took out the charcoal in the basket, and after lighting it, his body warmed up a lot.

For convenience, the soup base in the pot is frozen, as long as it is thawed, it can be sold with spicy skewers.

Shen Lanhua was in a hurry to go to the market, and Shen Guian could only accompany her.

Leaving Shen Xinyue and the twins, they began to shout while roasting the fire.

On a snowy day in winter, people who are cold from shopping are just right to eat a few steaming, spicy and fragrant spicy skewers.

The hundred and twenty skewers they brought were sold out in less than an hour.

Seeing that it was still early, the three sisters packed up their things and headed towards the Tongjin Academy in the west of the city.

Tongjin Academy is the largest academy in the entire county.

The Great Yuan Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and both men and women highly respected the way of sages.

Therefore, a small number of colleges will also open women's colleges, so that women can enjoy the same education as men.

It's just that the huge tuition fee is difficult for ordinary families to support.

The three sisters came to the academy, and after explaining their intentions, the gentleman in charge of admissions looked the three of them up and down.

"Have you ever been literate?"

The first time they came to the academy, the twins were a little reserved, and when they saw him ask, they shook their heads hurriedly.

"There are three classes in Jixian Academy, the junior class, the ordinary class and the selection class, it is not suitable for them to go to the primary class at this age, and they are not literate yet, so they can only barely go to the ordinary class first."

Shen Xinyue looked at the twins.

Shen April said seriously: "Eldest sister, I will definitely study hard and strive to enter the selection class as soon as possible." ”

Shen Yue was also busy and said, "Eldest sister, I, I will try to go back to help you work as soon as possible." ”

The voice became smaller and smaller, and under the gaze of her eldest sister, she silently lowered her head.

"There are three other children, all in a similar situation to the two of them, one of them is a boy, who has studied for a few days, and will bring them over tomorrow for you to see, sir."

The gentleman in charge of admissions had a look of surprise in his eyes, and the relationship was still a big family.
