Heartless Prince's Palm

Chapter 22

She took a closer look and found that there was a knob on the top of each cabinet. She pressed the first one curiously, and rice popped out of it. Wow, this is amazing, there is food without farming.

The word "rice" was added to the place where the button disappeared. Ye Xing excitedly picked up a handful, and the aroma of rice instantly filled his nose.

She hurriedly pressed the one next to it, but strangely, nothing appeared, and the others were the same. Looking at the empty cabinet, she seemed to understand that this was just a storage space. In order to prove this idea, she ran to put In the place of rice, sure enough, not a single grain was left.

She also considered whether to plant something else, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea. The land is limited, so don't bother.

There is a very important thing that should be done after the new year.

"Xiaozhen, do you want to go to the school? I heard that the private school in the town is very large, and students can live at home."

When I was buying cotton, I heard from the ladies who bought the cloth that the husband and wife were very capable, and they washed all the disciple's clothes.

"Can I go and read?"

Ye Zhen was greatly surprised. His family has always been poor, and it was not easy to have enough food. He never had such extravagant hopes.

"It's all useless for the father, who can't afford to support the children to study."

Ye Ying looked apologetic. He also wanted to study when he was a child, but among the brothers, only the eldest brother went to school for a few days. At that time, his father was still there. He and the third brother could read a few words, and they all learned from him.

"Father, money is dead, but people are alive. Although the school costs a lot, if you are admitted as a scholar, our family's land will not have to pay taxes. Think about it, it's a good deal."

"Scholar? Sister, how dare you think, there are not many in our town."

Yes, although later generations say that poor scholars are poor, it is only here that they realize that scholars are also rare.

Ye Xing rolled his eyes at him. She was six years old, just the age to go to school. No matter what, she wanted to drive the ducks to the shelves.

"I'll make it up to him. Let's go to town tomorrow and ask how much we charge."

The elder brother is already 16 years old, and obviously he is not in a hurry to study. This little one will always be pushed. If he has a little fame in the future, he can also protect his family. Since ancient times, it is easy to be bullied if you are rich but not expensive.

After hearing her thoughts, Mrs. Ye took her back to the house, took out the box from the kang cabinet, and took out the bank notes.

"Go to the town and exchange this into silver. I didn't move when we separated, just for emergency. Zhen'er's Shuxiu came out from here, and brought back the remaining silver ingots."

This is 20 taels, it must be enough to pay the tuition fee, Ye Xing did not expect that his grandmother would have such foresight.

"Grandma, what will uncle and third uncle say about using this money?"

After all, this is the property before the separation, so it is not appropriate for them to use it.

"Your grandma is not dead yet, what's wrong with being the master? Besides, grandma is also guilty. Most of the money for buying land and building houses was earned by you, but it was divided equally in the end. So, who is Xiaozhen's Shuxiu?" Don't dare to speak too much!" The old lady was domineering,
"Grandma, I went up the mountain a few days ago and found another ginseng plant, which is only as thick as a little finger, and it was sold for 20 taels. You can store this one and use it when you run out of money."

No wonder she bought so much cotton, Mrs. Ye's understanding of her granddaughter has been refreshed again, this child is really a blessing, no one else will see her ginseng once in her life, she is so good, she digs one as if she were visiting her own vegetable field allow.

How did she know that she has a younger brother to help her.

The grandparents and grandson were talking happily when an uninvited visitor came suddenly. They ran out to see that they belonged to Luo Zhang's family. Their house had already been built. They were invited to live warmly tomorrow.

"Why do rich people pay attention to this, grandma, does he want to be polite?"

Ye Xing had a thorn in her heart, she was still not sure when this guy woke up.

"Haha, my dear baby is right, he is trying to show us a gift, what should I give as a gift, I can't take eggs."

As a gift in the village, ten eggs are relatively expensive, and some people go there with just one vegetable.

"Hmph, our chicken is still young, so why don't you give him some eggs, so just give him some firewood. The meaning is so good." Firewood is wealth, so it's really a good intention.

Ye Xing entered the Luo family compound with a bundle of firewood. Not only did the neighbors stare wide-eyed, even Luo Zhang was stunned.
"Here, don't be disgusted, this is a gift for you!"

Ye Xing was chattering, because he lost weight because of his height, Luo Zhang hurriedly said,

"Don't dislike it, why are you so thin, you don't have money to buy meat? Eat more later."

What the hell does this have to do with gift giving?The others couldn't help laughing, Ye Xing's face turned red, he glared at the guy, and went to the seat angrily.

There are only two grandparents and grandchildren in her house, so it's not like eating more and taking more.

The courtyard of the Luo family is very large, but there are not many houses built. There are three upper rooms and four side rooms, which is similar to the layout of the Ye family.
"In the future, I will also be a member of Yunwa Village, please take care of me."

Although there are not many dishes at the table, there are enough steamed buns. In this era of food shortage, it is a local tyrant to eat openly.

After Wenju, Yunwa Village completely accepted Luo Zhang, only Ye Xing secretly despised him, and spent a lot of thought in order to find a hiding place, but the next thing made her look at this man with admiration.

"Mr. Luo introduced a scholar. People said that this person is very knowledgeable, but he is a bit unlucky. He is too mediocre to say it. He has diarrhea as soon as he enters the examination room, so he is still a scholar."

The head of the village came to the grandmother's small courtyard and told her that a school was to be set up in the village, and that thirty cash a month would be enough.
The children in the village rushed to tell each other that although not everyone could go, there was hope after all.

"Brother, you should go too, the school has already been established in the village, it would be too bad if you don't go,"

A few days ago, when I heard that Xiao Zhen was going to study, Ye Yue thought of her elder brother, and lamented that the good times at home came too late, and her elder brother had no chance to study.

"What are you talking about? How old am I? After the new year, I should go to work with my father,"

It would be hypocrisy to say that he didn't want to, but Ye Wei knew exactly what he should do. As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Ye Xing was standing beside him smiling,

"Xing'er, you come to judge, should you go to study?"

Although Ye Xing is the younger sister, she is the person Ye Yue admires the most.

"Brother, what do you think reading is for?"

She tilted her head and asked back,
"Of course I'm an official, let Xiao Zhen study hard, and in the future I will win glory for my grandma and our family."

Not to mention raising a child, even if you are a scholar, it is also a great honor for the family.

"Well, it is of course good to be an official. It is a beautiful wish. Have you ever thought that with so many people entering the school, how many can be officials?"

"Who told them not to study hard, of course they will be worthless."

Ye Wei blurted out, but Ye Xing shook his head,

"Although you can be an official if you study well, most of them are ordinary people, but they are literate and sensible, and they will do better than others in whatever they do in the future.
For example, the transcripts of the yamen, shopkeepers of shops, and leaders of all walks of life. If they are knowledgeable, they can also open private schools, answer questions and solve doubts, and become a gentleman. "
