Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 121 Surprise [2]

After the family finished talking about this, they began to sort out the things they bought today, and tied the Shuxiu Liuli with red cloth.

During the Six Ceremonies of Shuxiu, there was a small red purse containing five taels of silver, which was money for Mr.

The third grandfather said: "The old doctor Wu said that the private school in the town needs five taels of silver a year for Shuxiu, and we will pay Wenyuan according to this amount."

They feel sorry for the lack of giving, and Shang Xiucai will not accept if they give too much, so they follow other private schools, so both families can handle it easily.

If it was in my hometown, the five taels of silver would be a huge amount of money, but now that the family has tofu to make a living, it doesn't feel bad to spend five taels of silver a year, and the whole family has no objection.

The next day before dawn, the family got up and prepared to visit Shang's house.

Going to school in ancient times was a big event, so Gu Dashan, Gu Jinan, and even Gu Jinli all changed into new clothes. As the elders, the third grandfather also decided to go to Shang Xiucai's house.

After they were ready, they set off with Gu Damu and Gu Dagui, who had set up their stalls.

Surprisingly, Gu Dexing also came, and he said, "I have a stall with my second uncle and aunt."

Everyone in the family knew that Gu Dexing wanted to worship Shang Xiucai as his teacher, so the third grandfather was a little unhappy when he saw that Gu Dexing was going to the town with him, but he didn't stop him, and just paid more attention to him along the way.

Gu Dexing didn't do anything, but when passing by Shangjia Village, he stood on the side of the road and took a look at Shangjia Village, then followed Gu Dagui and his wife to the town to set up a stall.

The third grandpa brought Gu Dashan and the others into Shangjia Village carrying gifts.

While carrying the burden of tofu on the way, Mrs. Chen said enviously: "Brother An is really lucky. He has worshiped Shang Xiucai as his teacher, and he must be a scholar in the future. This is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu. Our family can come out anytime." It’s good to be a scholar.”

When Gu Dexing heard Chen's words, his complexion was very bad, he lowered his head, carried the burden, and walked quickly towards the town.

Gu Dagui glared at Chen Shi, and scolded her in a low voice: "You bitch, no one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

Don't you know what Xinggeer is thinking?I kept talking about it, isn't this stabbing brother Xing'er in the heart?

Mrs. Chen didn't think so, but felt that Brother Xing was petty, so he wouldn't accept Shangxiu if he didn't accept it. Shangxiu was not the only one in Qingfu Town who could teach. Xinggeer could go to other teachers as teachers, but he could still study.

Although she thought so, Chen did not say anything to make Gu Dexing unhappy.

……

Shang Xiucai knew that the Gu family was going to visit today, and asked Ah Jiu to wait at the entrance of the village early in the morning.

As soon as the third grandpa and the others entered Shangjia Village, Ah Jiu saw them and greeted them with a smile: "Master Gu, Uncle Gu, Brother An, Xiaoyu, the master asked the younger one to pick you up, go with the younger one, the master is at home Waiting."

The third grandfather smiled and said, "Young brother Lao will lead the way."

A group of four followed Ah Jiu to Shang Xiucai's house.

Shangjia Village is very large, and because it is close to the town, it is richer than other villages.

Along the way, most of the houses I saw were mud and tile houses, and there were quite a few blue brick and tile houses. As for the mud thatched houses, there were only a dozen or so.

Unlike their Dafeng village, most of them are mud thatched houses.

Shang Xiucai's house is located at the end of the village. It is a compound with five entrances, white walls and black tiles, surrounded by lotus ponds and flowing water. A piece of Xiangfei bamboo is planted outside the courtyard. It looks poetic and picturesque, and it doesn't look like a house in the country at all.

The third grandpa and the others knew that Shang Xiucai's family was a landlord, but they were still shocked when they saw Shang Xiucai's family enter the compound five times. No wonder old doctor Wu said that Shang Xiucai would not accept students for Shuxiu. .

"Master Gu, Uncle Gu, this way." Ah Jiu brought the third grandfather and the others into Shang's house.

Shang Xiucai was already waiting in the front yard. When he saw Third Grandpa and the others, he got up to greet him: "Uncle Gu, Brother Gu, you are here."

Turning to Gu Jinli again, he said, "The little fish is here too."

"Uncle Shang." Gu Jinli greeted Shang Xiucai with a smile.

Gu Jinan cupped his hands and called out, "Sir."

Shang Xiucai looked at Gu Jinan, who was dressed in new clothes, with a straight body like bamboo, and a clear face, and nodded in satisfaction: "Come in."

After the group entered the main room in the front yard, a servant girl came in to serve tea.

After the maid left, Gu Dashan immediately handed Gu Jin'an the gift of Shu Xiu, and asked him to present it to Shang Xiucai.

Shang Xiucai didn't pay attention to anything, so he directly accepted Shu Xiu's gift and said: "I don't have strict rules here, just say one thing, don't do anything harmful to nature, if you do bad karma, I won't tolerate it here. , Sweeping out the door is easy.”

Gu Jin'an immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, this disciple will not dare to do anything against the laws of nature, and this disciple will concentrate on his studies in order to achieve something."

When Shang Xiucai heard this, he didn't say much, but only said the time of teaching: "Every day, I go to class at the end of the day, and finish my homework at the end of the afternoon."

All in all, Gu Jinan only had two hours of class a day, which was not long.

This time was specially set by Shang Xiucai for Gu Jinan. He knew that the Gu family was busy with work, and Gu Jinan had a lot of work to do at home every day, so he was only allowed to take classes for two hours a day so that he could have time to help Homework.

Gu Jin'an knew Shang Xiucai's painstaking efforts, and said gratefully: "Student, thank you sir."

In this way, he can not only study, but also help the family, and he will feel less guilty.

The third grandfather and Gu Dashan respect scholars, especially Shang Xiucai, and think that he is a man of profound knowledge, so naturally he can say whatever he wants, and there will be no second words.

After talking about Gu Jin'an, Gu Jinli took out a jar of soybean oil from the basket and said to Shang Xiucai, "Uncle Shang, this is the soybean oil I made."

Shang Xiucai was surprised: "Soybean oil? You really made it?"

Gu Jinli nodded, opened the lid of the jar, took out a wooden bowl from the basket, poured the soybean oil from the jar into the wooden bowl, and said to Shang Xiucai, "Look, Uncle Shang, this is soybean oil."

Shang Xiucai walked over quickly, looked at the amber-colored liquid in the wooden bowl, and couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He took the wooden bowl, dipped his fingers in the soybean oil, twisted it, and said in surprise: " It really is oil."

He leaned closer to the wooden bowl, smelled it, and found that the oil smelled like soybeans, so it was undoubtedly soybean oil.

Shang Xiucai was very excited, and immediately called Ah Jiu: "Ah Jiu, take this soybean oil to the kitchen and cook a few dishes. Do it now, hurry up."

Seeing her master's excited look, Ah Jiu was a little puzzled, but she still took the jar and went to the kitchen to cook with the soybean oil.

Shang Xiucai asked Gu Jinli some more about soybean oil.

Gu Jinli focused on the oil yield: "Twenty catties of soybeans can produce four catties and two taels of oil."

"Four catties and two taels!" Shang Xiucai was very excited, and quickly calculated a sum of money.
