It feels very fresh to have a friend who doesn't know his identity, and he likes it very much, but Lu Zhouyu trusts him so much and tells him everything, which makes him feel a little reluctant to lie to his friend.

Jiang Hao had no choice but to divert the topic and proposed: "Otherwise, you will come to me every afternoon!" When my uncle taught me, we listened together, and my uncle was very knowledgeable. ”

The kind of knowledge that has been admitted to the top prize!

Lu Zhou: "Huh? ”

Jiang Hao: "Yan Chuanyu can only teach you when he is under the government and when he is resting, you have nothing to do during the day, why don't you come to me, let's learn together!" ”

Lu Zhou clutched his chopsticks and thought for a while: "Is Uncle He willing to teach me?" ”

Jiang Hao: "It's okay to just listen, you should play with me!" ”

Lu Zhou thought about it and nodded, "Hmm! ”

He didn't disturb Ah Hao's class, he just listened quietly next to him, and he was never annoying.

In the past, he heard that He Chengye gave Jiang Hao a lesson, and the same classics, he quoted them in simple terms, which was much better than what the county school teacher said.

Uncle He's dismantling and understanding of the classics is even more powerful than Brother Junqi!

Lu Zhou's eyes were shining, he studied at home in the morning, and when he encountered a problem, he saved it and consulted Uncle He in the afternoon, and Brother Junqi in the evening.

After making up his mind, Lu Zhou was in a full and bright mood, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Ah Hao, I, I'll bring you snacks to eat every day!" ”

Jiang Hao: "Okay! ”

Half an hour later.

He Chengye: "......"

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was obediently sitting next to Jiang Hao, well-behaved and worried, he was a little stunned.

Jiang Hao put on a display of the emperor's grandson, just asking Lu Zhou to be his companion, but Lu Zhou didn't know what it meant to be Jiang Hao's companion, just to be happy and apprehensive in class, and expressed to He Chengye that he would never make trouble or disturb their class, just let him have a seat by the wall, and he could stand.

He Chengye sighed helplessly.

He doesn't hate Lu Zhou, a sensible, serious and studious child, it is difficult to attract dislike.

He heard Jiang Hao say that Lu Zhou had not yet been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and he had also tried Lu Zhou's knowledge a few times, and felt that this child's knowledge was actually very solid, but he lacked some skills.

It's just that Jiang Hao's companion reads to His Majesty and the crown prince to know about the summons.

No matter how many aristocratic children in the capital break their heads, they can't be ......

He rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Lu Zhou thought that He Chengye didn't like him coming, his expression darkened, and he said sensibly: "It's okay, if it's inconvenient, forget it." ”

But he was still a little unwilling, and asked, "Can I come to him when Ah Hao is resting?" If...... If I have any questions that I don't understand, can I ask you? ”

He Chengye: "......"

That's it.

Teach it, he and Lu Xu also got acquainted, Lu Xu's tea shed on the business road is still sharing accounts with the Xiao cavalry, and it is also appropriate to mention his younger brother.

"Come if you want, come, but I'm not officially teaching you, and you're not Ah Hao's companion, I won't assign you homework, and you can only listen to what I tell Ah Hao."

Lu Zhou nodded.

He Chengye's tone softened slightly, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me after class." ”

Lu Zhou nodded vigorously and turned his head to smile at Jiang Hao.

He Chengye sighed, "I don't follow the way of the academy, and you don't need to bow to the teacher, just come to study every afternoon." ”

Lu Zhou still took his teacher seriously, "Thank you, sir." ”

He Chengye asked his subordinates to bring another set of tables and chairs, and asked Lu Zhou to sit a little farther behind Jiang Hao, so as not to let the two of them get together.

Jiang Hao has a lively personality, and he doesn't like boring things, if there is someone next to him who can talk and play, he won't turn the sky upside down.

Sure enough, he went to change his clothes, and Jiang Hao had already gone to sit next to Lu Zhou.

The two happily got together and were sharing the list of books he had given Jiang Hao a few days ago.

"These two books are too expensive, can you borrow me to copy them?" Lu Zhou pointed to two of them.

He had seen it in a relatively large bookstore in the capital, and a book cost five taels of silver, and their family had just finished buying a house, and there was not much money, so they couldn't spend it indiscriminately.

Jiang Hao: "Copy? That's slow, I'll just send you. ”

Lu Zhou shook his head: "It's too expensive, I can still remember it if I copy it once, this one costs five taels of silver, and you can't waste it." ”

Jiang Hao: "...... Good. ”

When He Chengye came back, the two children had been communicating for a while how much was this book, how much was that book, this book was not in Guanyang, that book was not in Longxing, in which city did I see this book, and I was reluctant to buy it at that time......

Sitting in the largest library in Daqi, Jiang Hao, who has endless books to read all his life, was deeply shocked.

He was shocked by how much the library was worth that he could see every day.

Shocked by the scarcity of books in the marginal counties.

He couldn't help but keep asking Lu Zhou: "Isn't this one?" Don't you have any state capitals? ”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said with certainty: "No, I only heard Mr. mention it, Brother Jun Qi wants to see it, and my brother has also looked for it in Qinglong City, Shuozhou, but he didn't find it." ”

Jiang Hao stared at the shelves full of books in the study, and thought blankly, are they really poor? Why isn't even a small book available to everyone?

He Chengye saw it in his eyes, and suddenly felt that maybe it was actually good to find him a companion like Lu Zhou.

Jiang Hao listened to Lu Zhou talk about how good the academy they learned in the county was, and how difficult it would be to study without the county academy, and the people gradually fell silent.

After a while, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Lu Zhou, you are so powerful, Yan Chuanyun...... It's amazing! ”

In such a scarce environment, he was admitted to the school on his own.

On the same day, Yan Junqi took advantage of the lunch break to borrow books from the library with He Songzhi, He Songzhi borrowed old and unpopular books, but Yan Junqi borrowed some rare books that he hadn't seen along the way.

Rare books can't be taken out of the imperial city, he can only take time to read them during his duty, return them before going to the office, and borrow them tomorrow.

He held the book and sat with He Songzhi in the old position of having lunch yesterday, quickly settled lunch, and then concentrated on reading.

He Songzhi looked at the two big purses he pulled out of his cuffs, everyone was in a trance, he told Yan Chuanlu yesterday that he just had a snack, right?

Yan Junqi handed him the purse, "I brought your share, let's eat together." ”

He Songzhi was flattered, "Thank you! ”

He learned from Yan Junqi to break the cake from the middle of the lunch meal, stuff the dried meat into the cake and sandwich it.

Not!

This dried meat is so fragrant!

It's so much better! And no one found out that they were secretly eating meat!

The author has something to say:

Lu Zhou: Alas, Ah Hao left his hometown and sent people under the fence, which is too pitiful (buy snacks and bring more)

Jiang Hao: It's so guilty of lying to my friends (ah, it's delicious!) ）

Chapter 213: Fields

Lu Xu didn't know that his younger brother had already found a good teacher for himself, and he was taking Yan Junqi's letter to the yamen to ask if the fields they wanted to exchange had been divided.

Yan Junqi has become a Hanlin, he has a fortune, and there are more fields under his name.

Although his little money is only enough to eat.

Hanlin is recognized as having a bright future, but what about newcomers...... If there is no product and no rank, the Yulu given is about the same as the nine products.

A year of coarse grain and fine grain plus together twenty stone, a month of silver and a half, with the price of the capital, if the family population is not large, do not need to support the family, this Lu is hungry is not starved to death, at most eat a little meat, eat less vegetables, eat more coarse grain, all year round may be able to rest clothes.

Lu Xu really can't look down on it.

Looking at their family, they have only been working for one day, and they have begun to find a part-time job for themselves.

In addition to Yulu, another major amount of income is the field.

Now Yan Junqi has two hectares of land, and they are all good fields, but they are all rewarded in his hometown.

There is a complex set of rules for changing from domicile to office.

The general principle is that the poorer the place, the more it can be exchanged, and the richer the place, the less it can be exchanged.

In a place like the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, Yan Junqi's two hectares of fertile land are exchanged, and there are only fifteen acres left, which does not guarantee that it will be fertile land after the exchange, and the place that can be exchanged is in the suburbs of Beijing.

Don't think about it underneath the root of the city, it has already been occupied.

This position is still seen by people as Yan Junqi's passing on the test, or the emperor's personal order, and he may be able to squeeze out the promising face.

As for the Hanlin who are not in a good ranking, do you want to change? I'm sorry, you go to the next county to choose, there are not too many vacant land, hurry up.

Lu Xu and the others discussed it, but they still exchanged it.

There is no shortage of fields in Guanyang's hometown, if they live in the capital in the future, it is convenient for them to have a piece of land to grow food and vegetables, at least they want to eat and grow what they want to ensure freshness.

Lu Xu went with anticipation, and after checking the letter, he got the title deed, and when he saw it, he was dumbfounded.

There are five acres of paddy fields, fertile fields, and thin fields in the fifteen acres, which sounds quite average, but Lu Xu really couldn't think of how this combination was composed for a while, and he couldn't have divided the fifteen acres of land into three pieces, right?

The errand officer didn't look like he was a farmer, and asked, "Do you plan to farm your own or hire someone?" ”

Do you need to talk about that?!

Yan Junqi wants to be an errand in the Hanlin Academy, Lu Zhou wants to study, he is not good at farming, and he must hire people.

Lu Xu hurriedly asked how to hire people and where to hire them.

The officials showed him two options, either to find it in the village near the field, or to hire it in the city.

There are intermediaries in the nearby county and Nancheng who specialize in introducing long-term and short-term workers to officials, and if the grange in the suburbs is large, they can also introduce professional housekeepers, and there are deeds of sale.

Lu Xu inquired about the good place, and went home first and left a note for Lu Zhou, saving him from going home at noon and finding that no one at home knew where to find him.

Then he mounted his mule cart and went to the southern city.

There are three intermediaries introduced to him by the officials, and the most prosperous places are all introduced to slaves with deeds of sale, and Lu Xu does not plan to go.
