Chapter 81
Seeing the doubts on their faces, Xiaoxiao knew that her choice of words was inappropriate, so she immediately changed her words: "That is to say, have there been any scholars, Jinshi, Gongsheng, etc.?"

"Oh, you said that!" Xiao Yi's expression turned out to be the same, and Mo Yunfeng and Mo Yaoyao next to him also looked at Xiao Yi nervously when they heard Xiaoxiao asked a key question.

Seeing that they were very nervous, Xiao Yiqing coughed his throat, and then said proudly: "There must be, it is said that there was a No. [-] and several Jinshi in this town, but these few people, except the No. [-], were given official positions After they were released, those Jinshi were awarded and entered the Imperial College to study."

"Imperial Academy? Is what you said true?" Mo Yunfeng pinched Xiao Yi's shoulders excitedly, his expression seemed a little nervous and longing for the Imperial Academy.

"Ah! It hurts, can you let go of it? Don't be so excited, you have something to say..." Xiao Yi screamed out of being pinched.

Mo Yunfeng was frightened by his pig-killing cry, and immediately withdrew his hand quickly, looked at Xiao Yi with a embarrassed face, and said embarrassedly: "Well, I didn't mean it, don't Do you mind..."

As soon as Mo Yunfeng let go, Xiao Yi immediately jumped to the side, then crossed his hands and lightly rubbed his arms, looked at Mo Yunfeng with fear, and said: "Brother Yunfeng, you are too ruthless. I was almost crushed by you, but I don't mind, hehe..."

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes over it, and then said angrily: "You two are going on forever, aren't you, hurry up and get back to the topic!"

When Xiaoxiao said this, the two of them were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other with a smile, Xiao Yicai said: "Yes, there are indeed people who entered the Imperial College for further studies. Everyone in our academy knows about this!"

I didn't expect it to exist. It seems that this is indeed a high-end school. If the eldest brother and the second brother are allowed to enter, I am afraid that the benefits will be huge. I will discuss it with my father at that time. Maybe my father will really agree. Xiaoxiao I thought so in my heart.

"By the way, since you don't care about food and lodging at this point, where do you eat and live?" Mo Yaoyao, who was at the side, finally had the opportunity to speak, and quickly asked a more important question.

"Oh, this, we have to pay for food and lodging separately, two taels of silver a month, the food is still very rich, and the place we live in is two people, quite spacious." Xiao Yi said helplessly.

"It's pretty good, but you seem a little unhappy to hear your tone?" Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, looked at him and said.

Xiao Yi glanced at her sideways, and then said with a slight accusation: "It's pretty good, but I live with three people, and those two people don't like to be clean, can you not be depressed?"

"Puchi..." A laugh sounded.

Immediately following was the unbearable laughter, "Hey...hehe...I didn't expect you to be so bad, haha..."

Xiao Yi looked sadly at the group of people laughing, then bowed his head resignedly and murmured, "You bastards, it's a waste of me explaining so much about the academy to you, you're all bad guys, I hate you... ..."

The voice of his broken thoughts was not low, but it was not loud either. At least Xiaoxiao and the others burst out laughing after hearing it, and Xiao Yi looked at the trembling people who were laughing, wishing he could slap them to death .

"Little Fatty, is what you just said true?" A voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate, which startled the crowd.

Xiaoxiao and the others came back to their senses, then stretched out their hands to pat their chests, and then looked outside the courtyard gate.It turned out that Mo Shengming and Mo Yuntian had come back at some time. Judging by their expressions, they probably had been standing outside the door for a long time, but no one noticed.

"Uh...Uncle Mo, you're back, hehe..." Xiao Yi was taken aback by Mo Shengming's stern expression, and his words were a little confused.

Looking at Xiao Yi who was a little frightened by him, Mo Shengming had a look of embarrassment on his face, but for the sake of his sons' studies, he had to ask, so his tone lowered, but he still asked in such a serious tone: " That, little fat, tell Uncle Mo that what you just said is true?"

Facing Mo Shengming's slightly serious tone, Xiao Yi seemed to have a flash of understanding, but also seemed not to understand, but it didn't last long, and he said slowly: "Uncle Mo, I'm not lying to you, it's true."

Hearing Xiao Yi's answer, the seriousness on Mo Shengming's face became more serious, and even Xiao Xiao and the others felt it. The brothers and sisters looked at each other, and then Xiao Xiao asked, "Father, what's the matter?" gone?"

"Ah, hehe, it's nothing, you guys go play!" Xiaoxiao's voice pulled back Mo Shengming who was in deep thought, but it didn't last long, and Mo Shengming fell into his own thoughts again.

The helpless people had no choice but to focus on Mo Yuntian, who came back with Mo Shengming, with questioning eyes: What's the matter, why did father become like this?

Mo Yuntian also spread his arms and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know why, although his father had discussed with his third uncle and grandpa for a long time, but there was no result after discussing and discussing, and finally grandpa said that this matter still needs to be inquired from many parties , to see which academy is better, and the rest will be discussed later.

But when he came back, his father was full of thoughts, and he didn't expect to hear the conversation of Xiaoxiao and the others as soon as he arrived at the door. Because Xiao Yi was studying in the town, when he talked about the situation of his academy, his father signaled him not to Speak up and listen quietly.

I don't deny that when I heard that Hongfeng Academy has a Beijing official who has retired and returned to his hometown, I was also moved. Moreover, this academy has produced so many Jinshi, and even won the second place, which is enough to show the ability of this academy. .

And the master is a Beijing official, so if I worship under the name of one of the Beijing officials, it will only benefit and not harm my future official career, but it will be too expensive and the cost will be a bit high.

There are two people in my family who want to go to school, and the repair fee for one year is five taels of silver, and then the food and lodging is two taels a month, so the two months in summer and the one and a half months in winter are excluded, which is about the same. Three and a half months without class, a year is twelve months, so I have to go to school for nearly nine months, and I need 18 taels for board and lodging for nine months.

If you add the one-year bundle repair fee, you will need 23 taels for yourself, and if you add the bundle repair fee and board and lodging expenses for the second brother, you will need 46 taels.

After calculating the result, Mo Yuntian gasped, 46 taels of silver, the farmer only spends at most 46 taels of silver a year, how long [-] taels is enough for an ordinary farmer, it is unimaginable.

Obviously, Mo Shengming almost calculated this result, so it must be so heavy, otherwise he would be elated.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Xiaoxiao walked up to Mo Shengming quietly, and looked at him with eyes full of aura, which were full of concern at this time.
