The lady is busy farming

Chapter 51
"Go to school, um, very good."

Shopkeeper Song was a little surprised. It wasn't that there were no rural children going to school, but too few. A whole family was penniless because of supporting a student.

The vast majority of families choose to do farming at home, and they can't even eat, so they still have to study.

They wanted to send all their children to school, and they thought it through.

According to yesterday's price, Shopkeeper Song weighed it, "It's 30 taels of tea in total." He then conveniently weighed out 300 taels of silver and handed it to the little girl in front of him.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Song. I only charge 290 taels of silver, and the remaining one or two teas will be given to the shopkeeper for a taste, and I will rely on Shopkeeper Song for more suggestions in the future." Qiangwei took ten taels less to show her appreciation Shopkeeper Song expressed his affection.

"Haha, okay, old man, you're welcome." He is a good-natured child, ten taels of silver can last a year for a farmer, and he gave it away without blinking his eyes. So what about personal feelings.

Cannibals have a short mouth, so if you want to help, you can't do it.It is also because of today's fate that he will have a different life in the future, which will not be mentioned for the time being.

"By the way, I want to trouble Shopkeeper Song. We're going to the academy to have a look, and I hope to show you the way." Shopkeeper Song knows current affairs, she likes it, and if possible, we can cooperate further.

"Our Wolong town has only one academy, and it's called Wolong Academy. It was established by an old Hanlin after he retired and returned to his hometown. Just let your father bring his brother in. That old Hanlin is an old scholar, and the school spirit is quite strict. " Shopkeeper Song glanced at the girl in front of him, and couldn't help pointing.

Qiangwei pursed her lips, she was rigorous, she was not patriarchal, "Thank you for the advice, Shopkeeper Song, I will pay attention to it, just ask my father and brother to see what the admission rules are."

"I know a thing or two about this. College freshmen need to polish rice once a year, eight sticks of bacon, four sets of snacks, and four taels of silver." Shopkeeper Song looked at the thoughtful girl and added: "If you want to eat and live In the academy, there will be an extra two or two taels of silver, and of course you don’t have to live there.” He hasn’t mentioned things like the four treasures of the study and rice paper.

Shopkeeper Song had just finished speaking when he heard two gasps, thinking that Wenhui and daddy knew that Qiangwei was fine, she just frowned, no wonder there were so few students from poor families, and the tuition was really too expensive compared to ordinary people, no wonder daddy Mother can't afford it.

Qiangwei put the silver into the basket, thinking how to open up more paths.

"Thank you, let's go take a look."

Walking out of the Songji Tea Shop, Wen Hui couldn't help but said: "It takes so much money, so I'd better not go. Doesn't the private school in the next village only receive half a den of grain a year, and four strips of bacon? What's wrong with the town? That's all."

"Brother, do you know how much money we got today?" Qiangwei was so dispirited that she always retreated, even though she spent some money now, she would earn a lot later.

"This, isn't it 290 taels?"

"I thought my brother would forget about it in a blink of an eye. First of all, we also have a family property of more than 300 taels. Besides, in a few days, we will have income. How can we not afford the two of you to go to school?"

When Qiangwei said this, her face was a bit ugly, don't look at Wen Hui's usual steady look, it was all just pretending, after all, she had never seen anything in the world.In the past two days, Qiangwei also knew that he had been studying hard, observing how he negotiated with others.

Originally, she was quite satisfied, but she didn't expect to give up all of a sudden.
