Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 18 Go to the county seat

Qian Guilan hurriedly explained, "These three children all need to study. They were literate before, so don't dislike them."

Qian Guilan knew that the three of them were a little too old when they started studying, but there was no way. Who made the family poor in the early years? Now that they are rich, they must all be able to study.

Master He was amazed, "Read it all? This year's beam repair costs six taels of silver!" Obviously he didn't expect that he had misread it.

"Yes, we can hand in Shuxiu now. I just hope that the child can study as soon as possible." Qian Guilan wanted the three brothers to study as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow.

"Well, come on, you three come over." Seeing that Qian could hold Shu Xiu, Master He raised his hand and called Zhou Lin and the others to him.

"Hello, master!" The three of them bowed their hands together and saluted.

"Okay, what's your name? How old are you?" Master He asked.

"My name is Zhou Lin. I am the eldest in my family. I am 16 years old this year."

"My name is Zhou Qing, the second child, and I am 14 years old."

"My name is Zhou Ming. I am the third eldest child. I am 12 years old this year."

The three of them answered one by one, and Master He nodded, "What have you learned before? Which Master taught you?"

"Returning to Master, I have learned Thousand Characters and Analects before, which was taught by my father." Zhou Lin replied.

"Oh? Your father has studied? Does he have a reputation?" Master He narrowed his eyes. It turned out that this family had educated people.

"My father has never participated in scientific research and has no fame." Zhou Lin answered honestly. Back then, Zhou Jiacheng encountered a severe drought after only studying for a few years. He followed his family all the way to Wangshan Village. The family members died. Only he survived, and later settled down in Wangshan Village and married Qian Guilan.

"Well, the Master said: 'A gentleman has nothing to eat, nothing to live in, and nothing to live in. He is sensitive to things but cautious in his words, he has the way and is upright, and he is eager to learn.' Do you know what it means?" Master He nodded, and then went on. Ask questions.

Zhou Lin replied, "Confucius said: 'A gentleman who does not pursue satiety when eating, does not pursue comfort when living, is agile in doing things, cautious in speaking, and always corrects his mistakes, is considered a good learner.'"

"Yes, I learned well. You three can come to study tomorrow. Xiao An, take them to get their books." Master He smiled and turned to the boy.

"Yes, master, you guys will follow me." The servant quickly responded.

Qian Guilan looked at Master He with a happy expression, "Thank you Master, I will ask Master to teach you in the future."

Zhou Yue didn't say a word, and silently acted as the background board, observing the environment and people. This Mr. He looked good, with a kind of loftiness of a scholar, but not sour. It seemed that he shouldn't be in such a remote town.

Following Qian Guilan and the others, they went to hand over Shu Xiu and also received books. "Go to the academy before Chen time tomorrow. You can bring your own food at noon, or you can buy something to eat in the town. School will be over at [-]:[-] in the afternoon." Xiao An gave them Give me a good time.

"Okay, we understand. We will arrive on time tomorrow." Zhou Lin nodded and remembered the time.

A few people left the gate of the college. The three brothers were so excited that they could really study. The three looked at each other, and their excitement was beyond words.

"Mom, let's go buy two pieces of clothes for my brothers. It should be decent to go to school. After all, you are a scholar!" Zhou Yue looked at Qian Guilan and suggested.

Qian Guilan was also very happy, "Okay, let's go to the cloth shop and buy two sets of clothes for each of you, and change them!"

"Wow, that's really great! I feel like I'm dreaming now!" Zhou Qing shouted excitedly!

A group of people came to cloth village and bought two sets of ready-made clothes for each of the three brothers and two sets for Zhou Yue.

"Mom, you and dad should have it too! Our family needs to be neat and tidy!" Zhou Yue saw that Qian Guilan only bought it for the four brothers and sisters, and said directly.

Before Qian Guilan could refuse, Zhou Yue pointed to a suit of clothes hanging behind the counter and said directly, "Wrap that suit, and have that suit!" She pointed to another suit.

"No, mother has clothes." Qian Guilan quickly refused.

"Mom, don't worry about money, there are so many medicinal materials in the yard at home!" Zhou Yue dispelled Qian Guilan's worries. Now that she has a way to make money, she doesn't have to worry about running out of money.

Qian Guilan also felt relieved and chose two pairs for Zhou Jiacheng. Zhou Yue chose two pairs of shoes for another person and cut two pieces of cloth before leaving. A total of eight taels of silver was spent, and the boss also gave some scraps. Cloth.

After coming out of Buzhuang, Zhou Yue suggested again, "Let's buy an ox cart or a donkey cart. It can not only plow the fields, but also make it easier for my brothers to study."

"This ox cart is not cheap, it costs tens of taels!" Zhou Lin said, he didn't expect that the younger sister would actually want to buy an ox cart.

"But it's very convenient. Brothers can drive their own carts to the town every day. It's also convenient for us to sell medicinal materials in the town, and we can also plow the land." Zhou Yuelian counts the benefits of ox carts.

Qian Guilan was also a little moved. Indeed, it was not convenient to go back and forth in the village head’s ox cart every day. The family could afford a ox now. “Okay, buy an ox cart!”

But there is no place to sell cattle in the town, only in the county!

In this era, cattle are very precious animals. To buy cattle, you have to register with the county government, and cattle cannot be easily slaughtered.

A few people spent fifteen yuan to hire a bullock cart to go to the county seat, and they walked unsteadily for half an hour before arriving at the county seat.

"Zeshan County!" Zhou Yue looked at the big characters on the city gate and murmured.

Ask the coachman to take them directly to the market where the cattle are sold. After parking the car, Qian Guilan gave the coachman fifteen cash.

Jumping off the bullock cart, Zhou Yue stretched her legs a bit. After riding in the bullock cart for a long time, the bumps were numb.

Walking into the market, the smell of livestock is getting stronger and stronger, mixed with the smell of various feces, it is really unpleasant.

Several people walked and watched, and stopped in front of the house selling cattle. "Does this lady want to buy a cow?" The boss came up and asked.

"Well, let's see, is there anything better?" Qian Guilan nodded and asked.

"A batch of cows just arrived a few days ago. Some cows are particularly strong. Take a look." The boss led several people back as he said.

"Look, it's just these few cows, they are all in their prime and full of strength!" The boss pointed to a few cows that were grazing.

Several people looked over and found that the cow was really strong. Qian Guilan nodded and was also very satisfied, "How much is this cow?" Pointing to one of the cows.

"This cow is 16 taels of silver, you really have a vision, this is the best cow!" The boss flattered.

"Sixteen taels is too expensive. If it's cheaper, I'll buy it today if it suits you!" Qian Guilan counter-offered.

"What do you think of 15 taels? This is the lowest price." The boss reduced the price by half.

"We are also from a poor family, and we have to buy a scooter. We don't have enough money. Why don't you take another [-] Wen? If you can, go through the formalities now."

The boss looked at a few people and estimated that he could earn less, so he replied: "Okay, let's go to the county government to file the record."
