Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 64 Shocked
"Grandfather." She turned to Du Chensheng, "The head of the mountain told me to go to the academy to study after the new year."

"What, what?" Du Chensheng was completely stunned by this thunder, "Study in an academy?"

Du Jinning nodded.

"This, this..." Du Chensheng was completely stunned, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether this was good news or bad news for him.

After a while, his mind cleared up, and he always had a bad premonition in his heart, feeling that all the plans at home would be disrupted by this news.

He beckoned to Du Jinning: "Come into the room and tell me slowly."

Du Jinning didn't hesitate, followed him into the house, and gave a general account of today's events.Of course, I didn't say a single word that shouldn't be said, and some places have been appropriately tampered with.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Chensheng also analyzed the pros and cons in his mind.

Du Jinning was accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the Boyue Academy. Needless to say, the future must be bright, and it will only take three or four years to be admitted as a scholar... But it's hard to say. Thinking about Yun Cheng, he was accepted by his teacher. It took a few years to take the exam for scholar.

However, to be accepted as a disciple by the head of the mountain, there is no need for a scholar to run away, and it is no problem to be a scholar, even a Jinshi is possible.The Du family's glorious ancestors are just around the corner.He, Du Chensheng, will also be able to live in a deep mansion compound, serve slaves and maidservants, and be honored as an old man wherever he goes. Thinking about such a scene, Du Chensheng yearns for it.

This is profit.

What can be done?That's spending money!
Because Du Yunchang had studied in Boyue Academy, Du Chensheng couldn't be more clear about how much it costs a year. Without four or fifty taels of silver, it would be impossible to get it.And that's just one year's worth, not all.

But how can the second room of the Du family afford this expense?

His and Niu's coffins were only five or sixty taels of silver. If Du Jinning was really sent to the academy, then Du Fangling would not be able to sell them. The five or sixty taels would have to be paid to Du Yunnian with 60 taels of silver.The remaining two or 60 taels are only enough for Du Jinning's tuition for one year.But what about the money to buy books and the Four Treasures of the Study?

As for the second room of the Du family, apart from the farmland, Du Yunyi is the only one who earns income.The promising idea of ​​the field is only enough to support the family; Du Yunyi also has a small family to support, and his two sons need to study, so how can he take care of the family?Not to mention that Du Chensheng himself had to take medicine from time to time. Half of the money Du Yunyi handed over to his family every month was used by Du Chensheng to buy medicines, and the other half took care of the family's expenses, so there was nothing left over the whole month. .

Du Chensheng's leg suffers from rheumatism, and the pain is so painful that he can't sleep at night, but it can't be cured, so he has to take medicine to suppress the pain.

Weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Du Chensheng frowned tightly, not knowing how to choose.

But he knew that neither his wife Niu Shi nor his eldest son Du Yunyi nor his second son Du Yunian would agree to send Du Jinning to study.

The good days in the future will be invisible and intangible, but the monthly money expenses are real.They would absolutely refuse to tighten their belts and send Du Jinning to school.

Du Jinning could guess everything Du Chensheng was thinking.She didn't urge her, she just stood there quietly, waiting for Du Chensheng to think about it.

After a while, Du Chensheng said slowly: "I have to discuss this matter with your aunt and uncle. You also know that our family is not rich. How much does it cost to go to the academy for a year? You can listen to it if you want to come." Brother Wen from Lizheng’s family mentioned it? It’s not a small amount, our family can’t afford it, even if we want to send you, we have to borrow it.”

"Yes." Du Jinning replied, "If grandpa is fine, then I will go out."

"Go." Du Chensheng looked at Du Jinning's leaving back, squinted his eyes, and looked away.

He would not discuss this matter with Du Yinsheng.If Du Yinsheng knew about this, he would definitely ask him to sell everything for Du Jinning to study.But this is ultimately a major event that determines the future of their second wife. Du Chensheng will wait for the eldest son to come back tomorrow before making a decision.

Du Chensheng planned very well, but before dinner, Du Yinsheng came, with a look of excitement, changed his usual calmness, and yelled after entering the courtyard: "Brother Ning, where are you? Come out .”

When Du Jinning returned to his room, he was writing a storybook.She knew that there would be a tough battle to be fought, and she didn't have time to write a storybook, and she could understand Guan Jiaze's urgency. Write out the next book.

Guessing that Du Yinsheng was out of school at this time, Zhang Hongwen should have come back from the academy. She was drying the paper and was washing her pen when she heard Du Yinsheng's cry.

Putting the things back under the bed, she opened the door and saw Du Yinsheng standing at the door of her room.

"Uncle Grandfather." Du Jinning called out.

"Did you go to the academy today? Guan Shanzhang really wants to accept you as his personal disciple?" Du Yinsheng said excitedly.

Du Jinning nodded and let him into the room: "Sit in uncle's room."

Du Yinsheng waved his hand: "No, go to your grandfather, I'll tell him about your schooling."

Du Jinning was silent for a moment, then whispered: "My grandfather said, there is no money."

Du Yinsheng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was patronizing Huanxi, but he forgot that his younger brother was stingy and selfish.At the beginning, he decided to send Du Jinning to a private school in the village, and even played tricks with him for three hundred taels of money, so why would he be willing to spend dozens of taels of silver to send Du Jinning to school in the county?
His face darkened, and he looked up at Du Jinning: "Then don't go there, I'll talk to your grandfather."

Du Jinning nodded, watched Du Yinsheng go up the steps and into the upper room, then turned back to the room and closed the door.

Du Yinsheng went there for a long time, until Chen Shi and the others came back, it was dark, and the second room of the Du family was about to have dinner, so he came out from the upper room, and sighed when he saw Chen Shi coming out of the kitchen: " Tell Brother Ning to come over to my side after dinner."

Mrs. Chen didn't know about Du Jinning's going to the academy today, so she responded with a smile, and went into the upper room with the dishes.

Originally, something like that happened yesterday, and those who came back from the field today in the third room didn't intend to go to the kitchen to help with things.But before Du Fangling's matter was settled, Chen didn't want to startle the snake, and was afraid that Du Fangling and Du Fanghui would not be able to keep things hidden in their hearts, so they simply asked Du Fangfei to work with her and let Du Fangling and Du Fanghui stay in the room.

Du Chensheng's city is very deep, and the meal is the same as before, and he didn't mention studying; Du Jinning didn't mention it either.

On the contrary, Du Yunnian couldn't hold his breath, and glanced at Du Fangling from time to time, making Du Fangling afraid that he couldn't help giving him a slap in the face, and after a quick bite of food, he said he was uncomfortable, and went back to his room.

After dinner, Du Jinning was about to go to the big room of the Du family when Du Chensheng stopped him: "Brother Ning, don't leave yet."
