Chapter 63
"Shopkeeper, I have a 15-year-old cousin in my family who is half a head taller than me. There are also two twin brothers who are about 11 years old and so tall. The younger sister is only this tall. The other is the two of us. How much cloth do you think you need for a suit of clothes?" Mu Zhixu made a gesture to the proprietress.

She has taken a fancy to several bolts of cloth.

"You just follow what I said, and give us a whole body. Girls want gouache, water blue and light green, boys...he wants blue, and two other blue ones."

They all wear filial piety, it is not good to wear brightly colored ones.

The proprietress seldom saw such a cheerful guest, she smiled, and hurriedly got to work, "Girl, you are still growing up, the clothes should be bigger, and you can wear them next year, and if they are well preserved, you can wear them for three or four years. To tell you the truth, I'll give you a little more detail on each body, and make it bigger, so that it will be easier to change when the time comes."

As he spoke, the large scissors clicked in his hand, and the cloth was pulled quickly.

"How much money?" Mu Zhixu smiled inwardly seeing the swiftness of the proprietress's hands and feet.

"Girl, the cloth you picked is all fine cotton, which is slightly more expensive than linen. The total is 310 Wen. You can just give 310 Wen." The landlady wiped the change readily.

There are six clothes in total, which is more than half less than buying ready-made clothes.

Mu Zhixu took out his purse, gave the triangular broken silver, and counted ten copper coins.

She turned her eyebrows and pointed at the bamboo basket where the proprietress threw the rags just now, "Shopkeeper, do you still want your rags? Can you give me some more?"

My cousin knows how to work as a maid, and I learned from my third aunt before, so this cloth head can kill her time.

"Girl, to tell you the truth, someone wants this cloth head, and it's worth three pennies. But seeing how straightforward you are, I'll give you a bag, and I'll take care of my business in the future!" , Hearing this, he put on a cloth head for Mu Zhixu with a smile.

This cloth head is in short supply, and many people want it.

Mu Zhixu also accepted the favor, "Don't worry shopkeeper, as long as your price is fair, I will naturally come more often."

There are prerequisites.

The proprietress was not annoyed, she was still smiling, "Of course it's no lie."

The two of you came and went, and in a few words, they explained the surnames of both parties, and the address changed.

Mu Zhixu took the opportunity to inquire, "By the way, Sister Liu, I want to inquire about the academies in our county, do you know?"

Originally, I wanted to go back and inquire with the village chief, but now I have the opportunity, it's not in vain.

Liu Sanniang glanced at Gu Lin who was standing next to her, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Are you looking for your fiancé-in-law? Then you have found the right person. There are two academies in our county, Xuyun Academy in the south of the city and Hongle Academy in the east of the city. You chase me in these two academies." Come on, the students in the academy are also quite tit-for-tat!" Liu Sanniang's words were somewhat meaningful.

The academies she mentioned certainly did not include schools for beginners.

There are many junior schools in Rong County, and there is one in Huaihua Town.

Mu Zhixu smiled comprehensibly, "What are the requirements for entering these two academies?"

"There are no special requirements, as long as you pass the exam, but...the fees of the two academies are different." For some reason, Liu Sanniang just found the little girl in front of her interesting.

She wanted to say more in her heart.

"Shu Xiu of Xuyun Academy is twice that of Hongle Academy, but the dean of Xuyun Academy was born as a Jinshi. I heard that he used to be No.6 in the second class. He was an official for two years, and then he got tired of officialdom. , I resigned and returned to my hometown, and opened this academy." Xuyun Academy has always had a good reputation.

A large part of the reason is because of the dean.

"Girl Mu, if you have money in your hands, I still advise you to choose Xuyun Academy."

Mu Zhixu didn't say whether to choose or not, she asked, "I don't know how much Shu Xiu is in Xu Yun Academy?"

"Twenty taels of silver per month! Pen, ink, paper and inkstone and food are not included."

Mu Zhixu couldn't help but be speechless. Two taels of silver per month, without other expenses, would be 24 taels a year.

If you add other expenses, it will cost at least 30 to 40 taels a year!
Sure enough, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, because the poor family cannot afford to read books.

After inquiring clearly with the proprietress, Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin went back home.

On the way, Mu Zhixu was driving, and Gu Lin sat beside her.

"What do you want to say?" Even if Mu Zhixu didn't read it, he could feel that Gu Lin hesitated to speak.

"I'm just a little hesitant!" In the past 15 years, in his cognition, it's all about the male leading the outside and the female leading the inside.

Now if I go to study, the expenses of the family and all the expenses of their study will fall on Ash's shoulders.

Even though Ash is very powerful and smart, he is only 13 years old.

She should have been pampered.

"What are you hesitating about? Making money is my favorite thing. Besides, you should also know that if I hold a large amount of money without any power behind it, it will eventually be in the pocket of others."

"So, the most important thing for you now is to study hard, hurry up to take the imperial examination, and support me. It's best to get a champion, and my business will grow bigger and bigger!"

The girl's eyes were full of bright stars, and the ambition in her eyes was undisguised.

Gu Lin glanced at the gloomy sky above his head, "Well, I will always support you!"

How can a number one pick back up?

The nobles of the Dayan family are intertwined, and the various forces compete with each other.

If Ash holds a large amount of wealth in his hands, it is easy to make people jealous.

The two returned to the village, first went to the place where they lived to put away the vegetables, and then went to look at the place where the yard was built.

Most of the people are simple, and they work hard when they are paid.

What's more, the farming is slack now, and people pay more wages.

The foundation is almost half dug.

In the next few days, Mu Zhixu often checked the progress, and Gu Lin taught Mu Shen and the others to read at home.

Zhou Xiucai was a little curious when he heard the sound of reading aloud from the East Wing.

When I came out, I saw that the children who rented his house, no matter boys or girls, were all studying, and they were very sensible.

The one who taught them was a young man with a dark face but as green as a pines!
He was fascinated by it without knowing it.

"Zhou Xiucai!" Until the boy's faint greeting brought him back to his senses.

"You know me?" Zhou Xiucai asked subconsciously.

He and several children have not met.

But when he asked, he knew he had asked a stupid question.

He is the only scholar in Xiushui Village. It is impossible for them to not know their identity when they live here. It is normal to recognize him when they see him now.

"Have you all read books?" Zhou Xiucai changed the subject naturally.

He was very curious, it was not easy for a few children to survive in troubled times.

Have you even read a book?

"I've read some." Gu Lin nodded slightly, with a look of pride in his brows.

Teenagers have this capital.

 Everyone still has to pay attention to safety

  The community is closed today, and it happens that there is no food at home, so two inspections every three days, alas...
