Chapter 343 I Borrowed This Money
Facing Jiang Zhinuan's question, the eldest cousin fell silent.

I didn't dare to think about it before, but now?Everything is here, so it doesn't matter if he thinks about it.

If he didn't go, his whole life would probably be as mediocre as he is today, and maybe he would be single because of his lack of ability.

But where to go?

He also couldn't guarantee that he would be admitted as a scholar, would be able to take the scientific examination, and would be able to be an official.

But he also knew very clearly that if he didn't go, there would be no possibility at all.

If not, what can he do?
Staying in the reeds every day, eating other people's food, drinking other people's food, and hiding in the room all day decadent, ashamed to see people?
Or, as his father said, set up a table, go to the town, write and read letters to others, if you are lucky, you can earn a few pennies a day, and you can take care of your own food and clothing.

But is he really willing to live like that for the rest of his life?

If he hadn't met Jiang Zhinuan before, he might really be willing, but Jiang Zhinuan seemed to illuminate his world like a light, making him yearn for this world.

But he himself snuffed out that beam of light, and now he doesn't even have the courage to face Jiang Zhinuan and Di Qing.

He wants to escape!

If he lived and boarded in the academy, at least he wouldn't have to face these two faces that made him feel guilty every day. After that, he could really get an official job, and he would be able to make up for the wrong things he did before.

The eldest cousin thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "If it is such a rare opportunity, if it is me, I will definitely work hard and do my best to obtain fame."

Jiang Zhinuan knew that his eldest cousin was not interested in anything other than reading.

It's better to go to the academy and follow the master. The husband will not only teach him to read, but he can also help teach other children in the academy to realize his own value.

Slowly, he should find his confidence.

The uncle sighed heavily. As a father, he was unable to support his son to study and pursue his dream. Now that he had such an opportunity, he could only persuade his son to give up.

If it's a few tens of pennies, he can borrow some or make do with it. That's five hundred pennies!
"Son, listen to me, let's give up."

Jiang Zhinuan hurriedly said: "Uncle, it's like this. The dean of Bailudong Academy said that if you go to the academy to study, even if you don't pass the exam later and you can't go to the scientific examination, you can still stay in the academy. Mr. teaches.

The most common teacher in this academy costs fifty cents a month. Assuming that the eldest cousin does not pass the examination as a scholar, then he can at least stay in the academy as a teacher.

In this way, you can earn [-] Wen a year! "

It is really attractive to go to the academy to be a teacher, and the income of fifty cash a month is also very attractive.

The point is, right now there is no such five hundred cash to pay the tuition.

Uncle looked at his eldest cousin, and then at Jiang Zhinuan, who looked worried.

"Uncle, don't worry. We are a family. It is actually a good thing for my cousin to have such an opportunity. I have five hundred coins here. If you support my cousin to go to the academy, and if my cousin wants to go, I will come to you." Just take it."

The uncle waved his hand in surprise, "How could this be possible? No way, you earned all the money yourself, and you treat us well. Let us eat well and dress well here. Uncle can only You can still use your money."

"Uncle, don't be polite to me. In case my cousin can really get an official position, don't forget me as a cousin when you get rich."

Only then did the uncle turn to look at the eldest cousin, who clenched his fists tightly, and said after a long while, "I borrowed the money. If I fail the exam, I will go to the academy to be a teacher. One year, one year I will pay for it." It can be paid back."

Di Qing kept silent by the side, and when his eldest cousin decided to go to the academy, he smiled slowly and said, "Whether you borrow or not, it's all family."

"No! I will definitely pay back the money!"

The eldest cousin was about to set up a paper certificate, but was stopped by Jiang Zhinuan: "Okay, okay, you borrowed it, so there is no need to make a paper paper. Uncle is here, and you are also in Pingxi Town. I am still afraid of you." If you really think about it, then pack it up, and I will send you to the academy tomorrow."

The eldest cousin nodded heavily: "Cousin Ah Nuan, thank you for your kindness, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

After all, the eldest cousin went back to the room to pack his luggage.

Uncle didn't look too happy. He looked at the back of his eldest cousin, and he was really worried about so much money, what to do if it was in vain.

Jiang Zhinuan patted his uncle on the shoulder: "Uncle, you have to trust your son."

"Hey, I hope! But Nuan girl, don't worry, we will definitely pay back the money."

Jiang Zhinuan nodded: "When big cousin finishes his studies, five hundred Wen is nothing."

Well, the matter of going to school has finally been settled.

From her purse, she prepared all the money she would use tomorrow, the tuition fee of 580 renminbi, and the assistance fee of five taels of silver. Jiang Zhinuan felt a little distressed seeing so much money go to the purse at once. .

Fortunately, Di Qing was there to comfort him: "We can earn money slowly. Children's knowledge is very important, so don't be afraid to spend money."

"I know, Mr. Xiang."

When Ding Simiao came to knock on the door, Jiang Zhinuan was stunned for a moment. They had been discussing about going to college just now, and they seemed to have forgotten Ding Simiao.

He is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he has also read books. If he wants to read, then just add another person.

"Uncle, Auntie, I have something to ask you."

"Amiao, do you want to study in the academy too? It's okay, you can go with your brothers."

Ding Simiao shook his head: "No, I came here for Uncle's legs."

For Di Qing's legs?

Jiang Zhinuan froze for a moment, and called him into the room: "What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?"

Ding Simiao nodded: "Well, I want to say, I can try to help Uncle Zhi heal his legs."

Now Jiang Zhinuan and Di Qing were stunned.

It took a while for Jiang Zhinuan to ask, "Do you know medical skills?"

"My father and my mother are well-known detoxification doctors in Jinnan. My father is good at making poisons, and my mother is good at detoxification. I have studied with them since I was a child. At noon, I heard that the doctor said that my uncle's leg was caused by poisoning, so I want to try it." try."

Jiang Zhinuan never asked Ding Simiao carefully about the family background of the three brothers, but at the beginning, Ding Simiao said that there was a famine in Jinnan and their parents died on the way to escape.

She was afraid that mentioning this would make the three brothers sad, so she didn't ask again.

At first, she also felt that the family conditions of the Ding brothers were good. After all, the children were all white and well-educated, especially when they found out that Ding Simiao could also read and write.

But she really didn't expect that he was such a family!

Doctors who studied poison detoxification in ancient times were very powerful. Ding Simiao is a low-key kid. Since he said that his father and mother are well-known doctors, maybe he can really help Di Qing cure his legs.

Seeing that Jiang Zhinuan and Di Qing hadn't spoken for a long time, Ding Simiao was afraid that they would not believe him, so he hurriedly said: "I have received the true biography from my parents since I was a child, especially in terms of detoxification. My father said that I can already surpass my mother, uncle and aunt Come on, let me try."
