Chapter 57
"I don't accept students at will, so let's go, it's because you are lucky, and I have a good eye, so I will be a Bole today." Mr. Xu was embarrassed, frowned when he saw Gu, twitched his beard, and added : "Don't worry, I don't want much Shuxiu, only two taels of silver a year."

"As long as two taels, you can get your title on the gold list, and you will definitely not suffer from high officials and generous salary."

Lin Baobao: I thought that Gao Shicai's words were big enough, but I didn't expect that this is not too much for a gentleman.

Seeing that the two were still silent, Mr. Xu coughed lightly: "There is a house of gold in the book. It's too vulgar for scholars to talk about money. How about one, two or five dollars?"

Gu Shi frowned into the word Chuan.

"One or two, no less."

No matter how little it is, it's not enough for him to buy a few jars of wine, even if this student doesn't want it.

Gu Shi smiled shyly, clasped his hands together, and bowed in salute: "Boy, Gu Shi, I've met Mr."

Mr. Xu: ...

Du Mingran and the others: ...

Baby Lin: ...

After paying his respects, Gu Shi took out a piece of silver from his pocket, and asked respectfully, "I wonder when the students can come to study?"

Mr. Xu: I knew I would have said five taels first and then dropped it to two taels.

"Could it be that Mister regrets that he doesn't want to accept the student? Well, the boy respects Mister, and really doesn't want to embarrass Mister..." Gu Shi made a gesture to take back the money.

"Take it, take it, why don't you accept it, you will come tomorrow." Mr. Xu grabbed the silver baby and kicked it into his arms, and walked out while talking: "You three tell him the rules of our school , I have something to go out."

He walked so fast that he didn't come back to his senses until the sound of the courtyard door closing again.

Du Mingran and the three of them showed complicated expressions at the same time, but they were very happy to have more classmates, and they all welcomed Gu Shi.

Then, according to what Mr. Xu explained, he told him about the rules of the academy.

Probably, the school has two days off every month, which are the middle and the end of the month.You need to pay [-] yuan a year for accommodation, and it doesn’t matter if you live or not. As for meals, you need to bring your own rice. Mr. Xu invited a woman who lives nearby to cook.

The most important point is that the academy provides books, but not pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Gu Shi decided to come back tomorrow, so Gu Shi took Lin Baobao and left the Hongyuan Academy.

"Do you really want to study there?" Baby Lin hesitated for a while and asked.

Gu Shi just gave the money too fast and too suddenly, and the matter settled in the dust before she could react.

Gu Shi was taken aback: "Didn't we agree before coming here?"

Lin Baobao: When did we agree?What she said was to take a look first!
Lin Baobao sighed. Gu Shihui must be so anxious to pay because he was stimulated by Mr. Xu's low price, just like later generations of aunts can't help looting when they encounter a big sale, regardless of whether they need it or not.

"Why don't we go and get the money back." She thought for a while and suggested.

With Du Mingran's experience in front of him, Lu Yuan might not be as well-reported as others. Fortunately, Taohua Town is not limited to these two schools, they have other choices.

Gu Shi stopped walking, and asked back: "Do you think the Hongyuan Academy is not good?"

"It's not bad, it's just that Mr. Xu seems to only have Shu Xiu who only has one tael of silver in his eyes, and he hasn't asked about your academic progress..."

Lin Baobao didn't know how to describe it for a while, and it would be wrong to say that he loves money.

We all know that "a poor scholar, a rich man", with his reputation as a man, as long as he is willing, I don't know how many country gentry and rich people will take the initiative to give money.

From the environment of the academy, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Xu's life is not well-off, which proves that he is not in cahoots with those people.

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way." Gu Shi shook his head: "I paid Shu Xiu, and he taught me. How much I can learn depends on my ability."

Is this determined to study in the Hongyuan Academy?
No, why does Gu Shi still have money?Lin Baobao realized it after a while, and she had doubts in her heart, so she asked directly.

Gu Shi turned his head: "Actually, I have been helping Qingyi Zhai to copy books before, and the money was paid by Uncle Yan just now." But this time the one tael of money was paid in advance.

Baobao Lin actually saw Gu Shi's copying of the book that day, but Gu Shi didn't know it, so she pretended to be surprised and said, "You are really amazing."

 I'm really out of shape today!
