Chapter 128: Silver Can't Be Used
There is also a kind of children of rich and noble families, they not only need to find the official eunuch family as a guarantee, but also need to pay high tuition, it is said that the tuition fee for three years is 300,000 taels of silver, if you fail the test, the tuition fee will be doubled.
The old man Xiang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, 300,000 taels of silver, that is a lifetime unattainable amount for ordinary people, and as long as the rich and noble family has this silver, not only can they participate in the examination with the identity of a lifter, but if they win the champion, they will make a lot of money.
Ji Xiang smiled, when it came to the tuition fees of Xiangqian, which they were most concerned about, their backs straightened a lot, and what Guozijian valued most was actually the scholars who really relied on their own ability to be admitted to the people, such as Xiangqian.
There is no tuition fee for admission, but the recommender is the key, that is to say, even if you are admitted to the examiner, if there is not a recommender with sufficient weight, then the Guozijian will turn you away.
And Xiangqian's master is really capable, just with a letter of recommendation, he can send Xiangqian to the Guozijian, of course, it is inseparable from Xiangqian's own talent.
You must know that Xiangqian is only eleven and a half years old, and he can be admitted to the examination at this age, although it is not said that there are no ancients before, but it is definitely a rare existence, and it is reasonable to be valued.
Although Xiangqian is enrolled in Guozijian, Guozijian does not include meals and has no residence, so they still need to find a place to live, and they can't stay in an inn all the time.
It's just that the house close to the Guozi Prison, the rent that can live in it is expensive, but the cheap one can't live, and the reader still has requirements for the environment, and the noisy place must not be chosen every day.
After thinking about it for a few times, Xiangqian still chose to rent a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, with only one courtyard, four rooms, a hall, a kitchen, a thatched house, and a courtyard with a well.
The rent is ten taels of silver per month, which is a sky-high price in Xiangzhang County or Xiangzhang Village, but in the imperial city, it is really cheap.
But there is a big disadvantage, that is, it is too far away from the country, and even if they have a carriage, it will take at least two hours to come and go every day.
Xiangqian and their ancestors remembered the old man's advice, although they had more than 100,000 taels of silver by their side, but the old man had vaguely reminded them that this silver should not be used until it was absolutely necessary.
Then it proves that the source of this silver is not right, they understand the temperament of their grandmother and father, and they can get so much silver, it must be his family's eccentric blessing.
For a while, Xiangqian and they couldn't cry or laugh, they had so much silver in their hands but couldn't expose it, which was really aggrieved, but fortunately, they didn't have to worry about the silver.
Xiangyuan even thought about taking Xiangqian to school every day, and finding a job in his spare time, at least letting people know that they had a source of livelihood.
Jixiang wants to go home soon, on the one hand, he has to go to work in the dart bureau, on the other hand, he also misses his daughter-in-law, and at the same time, he can also tell the family about the recent situation, so that they are worried.
After everything settled down, Xiangyuan set up a carriage and took Xiang Qian to Guozijian, and from now on, Xiangqian will be an official student of Guozijian.
When Tian Fuzi learned of the place Xiang Qian had chosen, he couldn't help frowning, this place was too far away from their country's eunuch, so much time had been wasted, and how many books had been read less.
However, thinking of Xiangqian's birth, he shook his head helplessly, a penny is difficult for a hero, and the shyness in his pocket can only be like this, but as long as Xiangqian is the champion, are you still worried that there is no good residence.
Old man Xiang was proud of his children's thoughtfulness, and he was even more ashamed of being carried away by joy at that time, but fortunately he married a good daughter-in-law and woke himself up at a critical moment.
There is also green smoke from their ancestral tomb, and they first got the treasure of Fubao, and then they have Xiangqian, the old man, which is really the greatest gift from God to their Xiang family.
Fu Bao sat on the tree to cultivate, and received a lot of merit points from his family, he couldn't help but feel strange, and sent out his spiritual power to know that it was Uncle Jixiang who had returned.
Fu Bao finished work and ran home, she also wanted to know the situation of Xiangqian, it was too far away from the imperial city, and her spiritual power couldn't go so far, so she had to wait for her to be stronger.
Jixiang saw that Fubao was back, and happily patted the little girl's head, now that Fubao is older, he can't hug it casually, he can only use this method to express his love for Fubao.
Fu Bao happily put the basket in his hand on the kang table, there was a basket of lychees in it, auspicious saw the lychee, swallowed his saliva, quickly washed his hands, and ate directly.
Jixiang knew that lychees were valuable fruits, but he never knew that the lychees in the imperial city were ridiculously expensive, and there was no market, if he could bring the lychees to the imperial city to sell, it was estimated that he could make a lot of money.
However, lychees are difficult to preserve, these lychees are so fresh, they should be picked by Fubao from the mountains, but are there still lychees in this season, Jixiang still recognizes Fubao's ability, little fairy, there is always her way.
Take out a purse from the sleeve pocket and hand it to Fu Bao, this is the most popular headdress for the little girl in the imperial city, Fu Bao opened it and saw that it was actually a bead flower inlaid with gold wire, silver wire and pearls.
"Thank you, uncle, I like it very much." Fu Bao handed the bead flower to Fugui's sister-in-law and asked her to help her put it on, and Fugui's sister-in-law smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and she hurriedly helped Fu Bao put on the bead flower.
Grandma Xiang sighed secretly, now that the family has a million taels of silver, she can definitely match Fubao with two girls, but unfortunately the silver can't see the light, and she is aggrieved.
At the same time, in the Weiyuan General's Mansion in the Imperial City, Major General Zhao Rongzhe lazily looked at the secret report in his hand, and his eyes showed confusion.
"Someone Coming"
A man in a black dark guard suit appeared, kneeling on one knee.
"How are Xiang Qian's party now?" Zhao Rongzhe asked.
"Back to the young general, they rented a broken house on the outskirts of the city, with a monthly rent of ten taels of silver, the one called Jixiang has returned to Xiangzhang County, and Xiangyuan is a junior in the imperial city Hanzhuang restaurant." The Dark Guard said.
This Zhao Rongzhe is the man who bought the Xiang family's century-old ginseng, when the Xiang family bought a murderous house in the county, and escaped in embarrassment, it has already attracted his attention.
You must know that there may be something they need in this murderous mansion, but they can't find it after rummaging through the entire mansion, since the murderous mansion caught fire for no reason, it has burned all the weeds in the mansion.
They simply dug three feet into the ground, but the result was still disappointing, and Zhao Rongzhe had to shift his suspicious gaze to the Xiang family.
It's just that the secret guard of Hanzhuang Buzhuang swore that when the Xiang family escaped from the murderous mansion, there was indeed nothing on their bodies, not only did they have nothing superfluous, but Fugui even lost one of his shoes.
Then the emperor should have put things in other mansions, and he had already searched for hundreds of mansions where he might hide things, but he found nothing.
