The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 23 Going to the Market
Father Shen agreed with what Shen Xuan said, and after putting down the bowl, he persuaded, "Okay, you can eat quickly. I don't think Mr. Xie is the one who cares about these money." He heard the people in the town say, There are many Fuyuan restaurants, and the ones in the town can only be regarded as semicolons.People who run such a big restaurant don't care about the money.

"Mother, isn't our watermelon still going to be sold to Brother Wuyou? It will be fine if the money is deducted at that time." Shen Xuan looked at Zhou who hadn't eaten after Father Shen opened it, and gave him a suggestion.

"Yes, girl, that's a good idea. Don't worry about it, be careful of the hungry child." Father Shen put some vegetables in Zhou's bowl.

"Then don't forget, you must return the silver to others when the time comes."

Seeing Zhou Shi who started to eat, Shen Xuan and Father Shen both heaved a sigh of relief, there was no way, Zhou Shi's temper became more and more weird after pregnancy.

After finishing this meal under such an episode, looking at Brother Qiu who lost his spirit, Shen Xuan said slightly: "Brother, don't be sad, didn't mother say that I will send you when the college in town starts in July? "

"But big brother won't be able to go then." Brother Qiu said in a low tone.

"Who said that?" How come I never knew about it.

"Big brother and the others said before that the big brother said that he was busy at home and he was slow to learn, so he asked the second brother and the fourth brother to go to the academy." Shen Xuan had mixed feelings when he heard Brother Qiu's words.My big cousin knew that there was no extra money in the family and gave the opportunity to his younger brother. The 9-year-old child is so sensible. Thinking about the modern 9-year-old child who is still acting like a baby, it is really sad.I just wanted to let them go to school, but I forgot the conditions of the rural family. It is good if the family can support one person to study.My family would be better off with the money Xie Wuyou gave me. If I followed my previous life, my family would not have had such an easy time.

"After you learn it, you can come back and teach elder brother." Shen Xuan couldn't bear to see brother Qiu lose his vitality. This is a family member connected by blood, and he loved brother Qiu at that time.Shen Xuan even forgot that she was a 5-year-old child. Fortunately, children in ancient times were precocious. A person like Shen Xuan can only be regarded as smart and will not arouse other people's suspicion. You can tell by the attitude of your family members towards you. Let's talk about yourself There is also the order of the old monk as a guarantee.

"Yes, then I'm going to the uncle's house." Brother Qiu was very happy with Shen Xuan's suggestion, and wanted to tell the elder brother and the others about it.

"Don't forget to tell Uncle and the others about Brother Wuyou's departure." Shen Xuan looked at Brother Qiu who ran out of the door and shouted.

It has been more than 10 days since Xie Wuyou left the Shen family, and the family members have slowly adjusted from their depressed mood.Father Shen, taking advantage of the free time today, planned to go to the town to buy some daily necessities.Because of Xie Wuyou's departure, Fuyuan Restaurant no longer delivered things to the house, and the family has been short of daily necessities recently.

When he arrived in the town, Father Shen drove the donkey cart to Fuyuan Restaurant, and was going to ask Qingyun, the second brother in the restaurant, to take care of it.Because Qingyun often goes home to deliver things, everyone is familiar with it.Qingyun readily agreed, and then Father Shen took Shen Xuan and Brother Qiu to start shopping in the town for what he needed.

First, I went to the embroidery pavilion to sell Zhou's recent embroidery.The boss of Xiuge saw that the pattern was novel and gave him more money. In addition, he sold two patterns, and got a total of 3 taels of silver.I went to the clothes shop and pulled some cloth for everyone, and I was going to go back and make a summer shirt, which cost 1 tael of silver.Go to the rice shop and buy some rice.White noodles and rough noodles cost more than 1 tael of silver.Passing by the only study in the town, looking at the longing in Brother Qiu's eyes, Shen Xuan asked Father Shen to go there to buy some paper for his brother, of course it was the cheapest, and bought a copybook for his brother, now he is a child It just happened to be able to practice the character of calligraphy well, and these things alone cost 6 taels of silver. Fortunately, Father Shen took the silver given by the Zhou family with him when he was leaving. Wouldn't it be more difficult to buy some books.Fortunately, there is no shortage of food at home, which saves some money.After shopping, everyone went back to Fuyuan Restaurant together.

When I arrived at Fuyuan Restaurant, I happened to meet the shopkeeper Bai, and everyone couldn't help saying hello. "Hey, Brother Shen, why do you have time to come to town today? I was busy when I came here just now, so those who didn't come rush over to say hello." Shopkeeper Bai came over cheerfully, without discrimination at all.Just a joke, before the third young master went back, he specifically told the Shen family to treat the Shen family well, especially the little girl Shen Xuan.Although I don't think there is anything worthy of the young master's attention to a little girl, but the young master told me that I will do it well.

"Where do I need your special hospitality? I didn't hear that the college in the town has started to recruit people. I'll bring my kid over to have a look." Father Shen was chatting with Shopkeeper Bai, and Qing Yun, who had a keen eye, gave Shen Xuan and Qiu Brother prepared pastries and tea on the table.The two brothers and sisters sat on the side and ate slowly without having anything to do.It melts in your mouth.The lips and teeth are fragrant, and they are much more delicious than the cakes bought outside. Shen Xuan couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

"Good study, which academy are you ready to go to?" Shopkeeper Bai sat on the side and asked.

"Not yet. I don't want to trouble you to recommend it, after all, we don't know much about these things." Father Shen made his own plea.

"Hehe, what's the trouble with this. How many times have I said it? Just call him Brother Bai. Don't use you. It sounds like you're such a noble person. I'm just a part-time job."

Father Shen looked sincere.The shopkeeper Bai with a sincere tone confirmed that he was serious, and he was arrogant, so he couldn't justify it, "Then I will call him Brother Bai with the cheek."

"That's right. Speaking of academies, there are two in the town. One is an old academy, and it has been in operation for a long time. The dean is an old man in his 50s. He has several teachers. The teaching is relatively old-fashioned. The year is about 30 taels of silver, and the young masters of the big families in the town are almost all in this academy; the other academy is run by a scholar who failed the exam, and there are only 3 masters. The teaching is relatively open, about 0 taels of silver a year, because of the short time It doesn't matter, most of them accept children from ordinary families. But I heard that they have passed several children, and they are no worse than the other family."

Shen Xuan listened for a while, one aristocratic college, for rich young masters to study; one is for civilians, for people with small assets to study.Shen Xuan doesn't want her brother to go to the old academy. She is still so young, there is no need to get involved with the son of the rich family. Shen Xuan doesn't want her brother to participate in these battles at a young age. Who said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people There are fights.

"Brother Bai, look, which one is suitable for us to go to?" Father Shen was uncertain. He wanted to choose a new academy, but he was worried that it would not be as good as the old one. He didn't want to make Brother Qiu feel wronged in these places.

"Personally, I still recommend you to choose the new academy. How about I take you to see each other and make a decision?"

Father Shen was very tempted by shopkeeper Bai's proposal, together with Shen Xuan and Brother Qiu, a group of four went to the academy to check it out.The old academy looks heavy from the outside.Simple and grand, but when entering inside, father Shen frowned quickly when he saw the arrogant faces of those young masters, basically everyone was assigned a servant, and there were fights and fights between students, father Shen quickly hated it .The location of the new academy is a bit off. The entire academy is not very big. It was quiet when we first arrived at the entrance. The students were all listening to the teacher's lecture very carefully. They felt comfortable and less noisy and irritable than the previous academy.In the end, Father Shen decided to arrange for Brother Qiu to study here, and to ask about it at his master, one day off every six days, and a yearly repair fee of 6 taels of silver, paper and pens are provided by the college, books are not included.It's a problem to come in the morning and return in the afternoon.Father Shen decided to go back and discuss with his family, and told his elder brother by the way that he planned to come together next time to arrange enrollment for his nephews and Brother Qiu.
