Kuaichuan loves you for a lifetime

Moreover, Si Pei studied at the best academy in the county, Qingyun Academy. Just looking at the name, you can tell that this academy is very ambitious and has the "Aspiration of Qingyun", and the annual Shu Xiu is also expensive, because the professors are all graduates. Level, the reason for this is all because the dean of Qingyun Academy was a former Jinshi, and only because he was not suitable for officialdom, he returned to his hometown and established this academy to concentrate on the great cause of teaching and educating people.

With Jinshi as a signboard, so many people come to apply for the job, and the students come here especially for the name. Moreover, most of the students come from extraordinary backgrounds. The family of a famous country gentry, but it doesn't mean that a good family background can enter here, and the examination before admission is extremely strict.

Because this academy has been very competitive since its establishment, and non-children are not allowed to enter. The main purpose is to help potential students to take the imperial examination. As for elementary school, there is no such thing.

And Qingyun Academy's achievements over the years have made many people flock to it no matter how strict the exam is.

In the past 35 years, the academy has produced five Jinshi, 47 Juren, and more than 130 scholars. Don’t think that after so many years, only so few people are promising. On average, there are not many people every year, but you have to understand that the current academy Unlike modern schools, there are so many students every year, and the academy takes the elite route, looking for people every year, three to 40 people are too many.

Therefore, the above numbers can already prove the strong strength of the academy in the imperial examination. Even if the students end up with nothing after enrolling, the relatively high-level personal connections during the study will also benefit people a lot. Get a better future.

Even if so many years have passed, the former dean has passed his sixtieth year, and he has long been unable to teach. However, his children and grandchildren could not bear the struggle, and they all passed the second-class Jinshi examination. Now they are all officials, and their son is still in the field. In Dangzhi County, Sun Tzu is an official in the capital. Although he is only a small official from the sixth rank, his work unit is indeed in the Hanlin Academy. Phase", also know that most of the people inside have a bright future.

The most important thing is that the dean's grandson is less than [-] years old now. Who wouldn't take a look at such achievements at such an age?

Therefore, only relying on these two signature characters, more and more people come here to apply for the exam every year.

Qingyun Academy's threshold is so high, if Si Pei hadn't been really young and talented when he passed the examination of scholar, it would be impossible to get in.

The people from the bank said just now that it was because of Si Pei's face that they didn't go to the academy to make trouble. Just listen to these words, the main reason is that the two banks can't fight for their background, and Si Pei's trivial matter is not worth being the owner of the bank. excuse me.

Even though Si Pei knew what was going on inside, he didn't dare to gamble at all.

If the people in the bank really did that, Si Pei's efforts for so many years would undoubtedly be in vain.

After so many years of failing the exam, Si Pei obviously didn't have that talent, or didn't have that kind of luck. Before the Si family was rich, just supporting Si Pei every year was a big expense. It was already a big burden, logically. Said that Si Pei should have dropped out of the academy a long time ago and found a livelihood outside, whether it was a teacher or an accountant, he had to be able to support himself and his family.

But for a long time, although the teachers in the academy had expressed to Si Pei tactfully, as long as the academy didn't take the initiative to persuade him to leave for a day, Si Pei would stay in the academy with a faceless face, and would not move even if others criticized him.

Is it because Si Pei has a thick skin and doesn't care about it?No, the experience of the Si family before just made Si Pei care more about face and self-esteem. He only cares more about what other people say. The reason why he can't take it with him is because of face that Si Pei is even more reluctant to leave.

Si Pei enjoys the atmosphere in the academy and the various hidden benefits the academy brings to him. Usually, as long as he shows his identity as a student of Qingyun Academy outside, who wouldn't look up to him?Si Pei's vanity was greatly satisfied.But once he leaves the academy, what's the difference between Si Pei and other scholars?Not to mention leaving with a bad name, it was even more unbearable for him.

So Si Pei looked at Si Zhang at this time, his face was full of begging: "Mother..."

Seeing Si Pei's expression, Si Zhang's heart softened a long time ago, so he politely asked Brother Hu: "My little brother, how much does my son owe you?"

Brother Hu saw that the Si family wanted to pay back the money, and his attitude immediately improved a lot, and he replied, "Not much, that's 120 four taels."

"What?" Hearing this number, Si Zhang's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

120 taels does not sound like a big number, but it also varies from person to person. According to the current prices, 20 taels can be used to feed and drink the family for half a year. What kind of concept is 120 taels?
Waiting for the money to be repaid, more than half of Si Zhang's hard-earned family fortune will go down.

Si Pei was also shocked by Brother Hu's words: "Brother Hu, I remember it was only 56 taels, not that many."

Hearing Si Pei's question, Brother Hu immediately had a smile on his face, full of arrogance on his face full of savagery: "Mr. Si, you forgot to count the interest. Adding the interest of these days, it happens to be the same amount. .”

Si Pei still wanted to ask about the interest, but he didn't know why, so Brother Hu's face pulled again, and he said calmly, "So, why don't you pay back the money?"

Being so frightened by Brother Hu, Si Pei forgot what to say.

Si Xiu on the other side can see that there is definitely something tricky in it, but he is only 12 years old, he is soft-spoken, no matter what he says, he will not be noticed by others, and at this time, she does not dare to provoke these people because of this matter. Make things bigger.

Mrs. Si Zhang naturally understood this truth, knowing that the money had to be paid today, so she didn't say anything, and staggered into the house to get the money.

When handing over the money to Brother Hu, Si Zhang's expression turned ugly, and Si Lai beside him couldn't help but say, "Mother..."

However, Brother Hu's eyes were swept away, and the courage that Si Lai finally mustered up faded away.

Brother Hu got the money, and it was easier to talk: "Si Xianggong, let's write off the previous things. If you want to spend money again in the future, you should come to our Lucky Bank. After all, it is better to be familiar with it."

Brother Hu walked away contentedly, and the storm in the Si family had just begun.

Seeing that this group of people really left, Si Zhang's face became sullen, and he led the others back to the main room.

The food in the house has long since cooled, of course, no one cares about that now.

A group of people fixed their eyes on Si Pei who entered the door last, wanting to ask him for an explanation.

Si Pei's face was pale, but he still began to tell the cause and effect of this matter.

Two months ago, Si Pei and a group of classmates went to Yihong Pavilion, and only heard the name, and knew it was a brothel.

But these people who listened to Si Pei didn't care. At this time, it is a romantic thing for scholars to go to brothels. It is common for scholars to have dinner with friends after the brothel, and to find a girl after they are done. It is a routine operation. As for Si Pei going there, That is to say, simply participating in an occasion, there must be no such thing as finding a girl.

It's not that he believes that Si Pei's character is really that upright, the real reason is that Si Pei has no money.

The cost of being a popular girl is not something that people like Si Pei can afford. For those who charge cheap, Si Pei has the unique aloofness of a scholar, and he still doesn't like it.
