As soon as it was dawn the next day, the three fathers and sons of the Jiang family went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with baskets on their backs.

During the rainy season, the mushrooms on the mountain are plentiful and plump, and there are many people who go up the mountain to pick up mushrooms.

At noon, the villagers of Xijindu saw the Jiang family father and son coming down the mountain with a happy face, and when they asked, they found out that the Jiang family father and son had actually picked a large Ganoderma lucidum in the mountain.

This Ganoderma lucidum is a valuable medicinal material, and I heard that it is worth a lot of money.

The deceased Fifth Master Qi in the village once picked one, sold it for more than 30 taels of silver, and built a five-room blue brick house, which made the people in the village envious.

It's a pity that the children and grandchildren of his family are not angry and have a bad gamble.

Not to mention losing all the money in the family, he was angry with his mother-in-law, and his land and children were also sold.

In the end, even the blue brick and tile house was given to others, and now I think about it.

Let's say that the father and son of the Jiang family went home and had lunch in a hurry, and then rushed to the county seat non-stop, and entered the largest and most honest and peaceful hall in the city.

In the end, because of the high vintage, good quality, and medicinal properties, this reishi was bought at a high price of 180 taels of silver from Antang.

Seeing so much money for the first time, the hearts of the Jiang family, father and son, trembled. I didn't dare to stay in the city for long, so I went straight home when I left He'an Hall.

When I got home, it was already dark. After dinner, drive the children to their rooms to rest.

Old man Jiang poured the silver he had obtained from selling Ganoderma lucidum today on the table.

Looking at a pile of silver ingots that exuded a bright luster, several women's eyes straightened.

Lao Hu cautiously reached out and touched it, with a look of disbelief, and stammered, "Old man, are these all ours?" ”

Looking at the excited eyes of the family, Old Man Jiang replied affirmatively, "Yes, it's all ours." This Lingzhi was sold for a total of 180 taels of silver.

The shopkeeper of He'an Tang gave a hundred taels of silver tickets, plus five silver ingots of ten taels and six small ingots of five taels, all here. ”

He piled up the silver in front of Lao Hu.

Lao Hu glanced at him, then put the silver into a pile, paused and said: "Over the years, the family has worked hard to send the third child and two children to study.

Now thanks to the blessing of our good treasure, I have got so much silver.

I thought that it would be more convenient to divide a few of your rooms into pocket money, and to buy something if you have money in your hand, or to go back to your mother's house. ”

Saying that, Lao Hu took three silver ingots of ten taels, divided one room into one and said, "I'll give you ten taels for one room today." ”

As she spoke, she picked up two small ingots of five taels and put them in front of Lu and said, "These two are for the little good treasure." It is also thanks to her blessing that our family has so much silver. ”

Old Hu turned his face and asked the big room and the second room: "You have no opinion, right?" ”

Seeing that the two sons and daughters-in-law nodded and said they had no opinion, they nodded with satisfaction and put away the rest of the silver.

Old man Jiang took over and said: "Part of the remaining silver will be used for our good treasure to make a full moon wine, and part of it will be kept for the third child to use when he is in Fucheng to catch the exam."

The full moon wine of the good treasure must be made hearty. First, I will accumulate more blessings for my good baby, and secondly, I will also use this to give back to the people.

Over the years, the clansmen have helped us a lot inside and out, and now that our life is a little better, we have to repay one or two, and we can't forget our roots! ”

Old man Jiang took a sip of white water and continued: "The third child will come down in the second half of the year, this is a big deal. With this money, the family can also take a breather. For the rest, I'm going to leave it to the kids to read. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Jiang said arrogantly: "One of the grandchildren of our family is counted as one, and I will send them all to the school!" ”

"Ahh Good school! Send your brothers to school!

Knowledge changes destiny!

Grandpa is mighty!

As soon as he heard that he was sending his brothers to school, Jiang Yuqing was so excited that he danced.

The baby's tender milk glutinous cry is particularly beautiful in the quiet night.

Lao Hu was happy when he heard it, took his granddaughter from Lu's arms, and teased happily: "Good baby, grandpa said, send your brothers to the school, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Ahhh The little milk baby replied very seriously, of course it is good.

No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be miserable for children.

Reading is a good thing. If I were to put it in my old world, my brothers would have gone to school a long time ago.

"Hahaha, it seems that my good baby also thinks that grandpa is doing the right thing!

That's it.

Early tomorrow morning, boss, you take the children to bring Xiao Qi with you and go to your in-laws' house to ask.

If you can, send them to the school! "The in-laws that Old Man Hu said are Lu's father-in-law, Lu Lao Xiucai.

Lu Lao Xiucai was quite talented when he was young, when Nai was unlucky, since he was a teenager, he was a showman, and every time he wanted to take the exam, there were frequent accidents.

My grandfather died before the first exam, and I had to keep filial piety for three years according to the rules. Just out of the filial piety period, my grandmother went again and kept filial piety for three years again.

It's easy to get out of filial piety, and when I took the third exam, I got drenched in the rain on the road, got a severe wind chill, and almost didn't get through, let alone any exam.

Since that time, Lu Xiucai has completely stopped thinking about reference, and turned back to his hometown Xiushuiwan to open a school, concentrate on teaching, and also teach several Xiucai.

Jiang Wenyuan is one of them.

Not only that, Lu Laoxiu saw that he had a good appearance and good character, and later gave him the pearl in his palm, which is Lu's.

Jiang Wenyuan later went to the county school to study.

The Jiang family sent Jiang Yujiang, the eldest of their sons and nephews, and Jiang Yuhu, the third child, over, all of whom are members of their own family, so they can take care of them a little more.

The next day, Jiang Wenkang really led his son and nephew to Xiushui Bay, where Grandpa Lu was, including Jiang Yuhe, the second child who had a headache when he saw a book and was unwilling.

Xiushuiwan is not far from Xijindu. Along the Qingjiang River, about four or five miles up, the place where the bay turns.

Because the river is full of thick and strong willow trees for many years, the largest of which needs five or six adults to hug over, and the scenery is beautiful for four times a year, so it is called "Xiushui Bay".

Grandpa Lu's private school is located on a small gentle slope on the west side of Xiushui Bay, and it is a large blue brick courtyard with two entrances.

At present, there are more than 50 students in the school, all of whom are from various surrounding villages. It is divided into three classes: A and C.

Class C is a Mongolian child without any foundation, and Class B has a certain foundation.

Class A has the smallest number of students, and they are all studying for a few years to prepare for the next year's exam. Now Jiang Yujiang is in Class A, and Jiang Yuhu is in Class B.

Lu Laoxiu heard that Old Man Jiang was just selling medicinal herbs to earn some money, so he wanted to send the other five children, including his own grandson, to the school, and he admired it very much.

Although his in-laws can't read a single word, he is a rare sensible and far-sighted person.

If there is such a person at the helm of a family, there is no worry that the children and grandchildren will not be virtuous, and the family will not be prosperous.

It is precisely because of this that after carefully inquiring about the affairs of the Jiang family, he was relieved to marry his daughter to his family. Now it seems that he made the right choice.

After Lu Laoxiucai took the school examination for the children, Jiang Yuhai of Primary 4, Jiang Yuming of Primary 5 and Jiang Yuchuan of Xiaoqi were assigned to Class B; Primary 2 Jiang Yuhe and Primary 6 Jiang Yushan are Class C.

Don't look at Jiang Yuchuan, who is only a little over five years old, but he is the smartest of the boys in the Jiang family's generation.

This kid probably followed his father and was quite talented in reading.

At a young age, he can memorize 300,000 melons well, and he has already begun to read the history of the Bible, a proper primary school bully.

In addition to his own talent, it is also inseparable from Lu's daily teaching.

As for Jiang Yuhe and Jiang Yushan, it's a little worse, don't talk about memorizing, the first ten sentences of the "Three Character Classic" are still read.

Of course, this is nothing, the Jiang family sent them to study, and they don't expect every grandson to be able to take the Xiu test to become a jinshi.

I just hope that they can read a few more words, and when they go out in the future, they will not be blind.

After the news spread that the Jiang family had made a fortune by picking Ganoderma lucidum and sending all seven grandchildren to the school, it caused an uproar around them.

The villagers appreciated it, envied it, and said sour things.

However, more people secretly set their eyes on the newly born daughter of the Jiang family.

This little girl was just born, and it rained heavily after a long drought.

After that, the rain became normal and spring ploughing was carried out. It's only been a few days, and the old Jiang family just went up the mountain to pick up a fungus and picked Ganoderma lucidum.

According to Sanqiu Daddy, who has seen this lingzhi, the lingzhi is the size of a sea bowl, red and purple, and is worth at least dozens of taels of silver.

Grandpa, a few dozen taels of silver, how much does this have to be?

They just don't eat or drink for a lifetime, and I'm afraid they won't be able to save so much money.

Look at it, the Jiang family sent so many grandchildren to the school in one go.

I heard that a baby has to pay 500 wen per month, plus books, pen, ink and paper chewing, a baby has an expenditure of at least 800 wen per month, and this year it will cost at least 8 taels of silver.

In this way, the seven children of the old Jiang family have 56 taels of tuition fees a year alone.

This is an astronomical amount for an ordinary peasant household with a household income of only three or four taels of silver a year.

If this continues, the silver from selling Ganoderma lucidum will have to be put in for only one year, and it will not be enough.

Is the old Jiang family crazy, but the days to come will not be over?

No matter how the outside world speculates and discusses, the Jiang family's life is still as planned, how to live and how to live.

Soon, Jiang Yuqing's full moon banquet is coming.

The day before his daughter's full moon, Jiang Wenyuan specially took leave and went home.

The Jiang family had let go of the words earlier, and the full moon wine of the good treasure would not be accepted.

But all the people of the Jiang clan, if one is counted as one, they can come to the banquet.

In addition, the Jiang family also invited several families with foreign surnames in the village, such as the Li Zheng family, Zhao Liuzhi's family and Qi Tofu's family.

As early as a few days ago, the Jiang family had already begun to prepare.

The master in charge, the offspring who ran the hall, and the woman and mother-in-law who helped wash and chop vegetables and do chores have all been decided.

The things that should be purchased have already been purchased.

In addition, the tables, benches, and chopsticks needed for the banquet have also been borrowed from door to door.

It's the day of the day. Before dawn, the Jiang family was already brightly lit.

The big fat pig in the backyard screamed and was dragged out of the pigsty by Wang Lao Wu, a pig killer in the village, who hooked his chin with an iron hook.

With the help of a few sturdy peasant men, it only took half an hour for the pig to become meat on the board.
