Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Someone shouted excitedly: "Look, there is such a long red silk carpet, and there are flower baskets and lanterns."

"The colorful lanterns above our heads stretch from the village entrance to the tall building in front, just like a row of colorful clouds floating overhead."

"This flower basket is also beautiful and unique."

"This red carpet and flower basket are very suitable for the opening ceremony. They look festive."

“When my dad opens a branch, he’ll decorate it like this when it opens.”

Suddenly someone asked, "Hey, what's that smell? It smells so good!"

Almost everyone arrived early in the morning, especially those in the front row, who arrived even earlier and almost all of them had not eaten breakfast.

After they arrived, they were not allowed in. The scholars who had been waiting for more than half an hour were already starving, and now they smelled the fragrance and their saliva was drooling.

The middle-aged man wearing red sleeves beside him introduced with a smile: "Sir, over there is the food street in the village, there are all kinds of food and snacks."

"Gentlemen, you can go and taste it after you park your car."

“Opposite the food street is the commercial street, which has all kinds of novel and interesting things.”

“Behind the commercial street is the Journey to the West Paradise, which is a great place to play.”

"Anyway, our village has everything you need for eating, drinking and having fun."

"Gentlemen, you can take a look around first. It won't be too late to read books after the library opens at noon."

"Oh, by the way, there are B&Bs in the village for tourists to stay. The prices are very reasonable, much cheaper than inns."

"If you live in another place, or if you don't like the daily commute, you can live in the village permanently. You can read more books every day when you open your eyes."

"You can also keep an eye on the academy's dynamics at any time and participate in the registration competition for the top-ranked class. The top three can become Master Zhao's disciples without paying any money."

"As long as one is under Master Zhao's name, he or she has already stepped one foot into the officialdom."

The scholars became more and more excited as they listened to Uncle Li's introduction, as if they had already passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer.

"Uncle, the B&B you're talking about means staying in a farmer's home?"

Uncle Li nodded wildly, "That's right. A standard suite can be provided with a servant boy and a maid to serve you. It costs 200 wen a day. It does not include food and lodging. It can provide a kitchen, toilet, hot water and a yard."

"Three hundred wen for two people, three meals and lodging."

When everyone heard that they would be living in a farmer's house, they were a little reluctant. A farmer's house is so dirty, with pigs and chickens, and a bunch of noisy children. It is really not suitable for studying.

In addition, the farmers only eat black flour porridge and wild vegetable cakes. How can they eat such food?

Although living in the village to study and being close to the academy and library certainly has many advantages, they cannot bear the hard life.

Uncle Li looked at the disgusted and hesitant looks of the crowd and knew what they were thinking.

"Of course, we also provide single and multi-person dormitories, as well as study rooms."

"A single dormitory is 100 wen a day, a double dormitory is 80 wen a day, a quadruple dormitory is 60 wen a day, and a six-person dormitory is 50 wen a day. Food and drink are not included."

"Study room is 50 wen a day, 1,200 wen a month, including tea!"

"If you are interested, I can take you to have a look."

"I have opened a B&B at home. If you gentlemen don't mind, you can go and have a look now."

"You can't force this kind of thing. If you feel it's good, you can live here. If you feel it's not good, you can go and look at the Scholars' Dormitory."

"I'm not trying to force a sale. I just feel that I can't let you wait for the whole morning in vain. I will tell you everything I know."

"If you plan to study in the village in the future, it is better to book a place to live as soon as possible."

"Although Lord Lin has stipulated that villagers cannot raise the price just because there are many guests, all gentlemen will pay the same price for booking rooms in the morning and evening."

"But you have seen the situation today. The village is so small, but there are not many houses that can provide accommodation."

"You must be living nearby, so you can arrive early today. There must be many scholars on their way far away."

"I'm not bragging, but by then there won't be enough houses in the village. We'll have to go to town to find an inn or rent a house. It'll take two hours to go back and forth, and it'll be expensive."

"Lord Lin can control the price of accommodation in the village, but he can't control the price of accommodation in the town or the city."

"Even if the accommodation fee doesn't increase, it would cost two cents to enter the city every day. If you add the round-trip oxcart fee, the cost would be six or seven cents a day. It's not cost-effective at all."

Uncle Li talked incessantly, and everyone thought what he said made sense, and the old man was also sincere in what he said.

"Come on, take me to your house."

If Qinghe Library is really as good as described in the newspaper, they will definitely stay in the village to study.

So, where you live is indeed important.

Although everyone was hungry, it would be safer to book a house first.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste to come so early?

They came early because they wanted to get first-hand information and take advantage of the situation.

"Please come in, gentlemen."

Seven or eight scholars entered Uncle Li's house together, and it was completely different from the dirty and messy place they had imagined.

Brick and tile houses, white lime walls, cement floors, grape trellises, fruit trees, stone tables, stone benches and stone mills. There is also a pool against the wall. At first glance, it looks clean, tidy and bright as new.

There was no stench of chicken, duck, goose or pig manure in the yard, nor was there the stench of mold and rotting thatched huts.

"My dear gentlemen, this two-story building on the west side is where you will stay. I will take you inside to have a look."

"They are all suites. The master will live in the big one, and the servant will live in the small one."

“The room is equipped with a desk, wardrobe and bedding.”

Everyone followed Uncle Li's introduction and looked at the layout of the room. The things in the room were very simple.

A bed covered with gray and white striped bedding. The sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases are all of the same style and pattern, giving people a very formal and ceremonial feeling.

Then there is a desk and chair by the window.

On the table was a set of writing brushes, inkstones, paper, and a teapot, as well as a white vase.

The vase is filled with colorful wild flowers, adding a touch of bright color to the gray and cold room.

Next to the desk is a cabinet with compartments of bookcases on top and a large wardrobe with sliding doors on the bottom.

Several people nodded continuously. It was much better than they had imagined.

Uncle Li saw several people nodding, and continued: "I will take you to see the toilet, bathroom and kitchen."

A few scholars thought that there was nothing to see in the toilet or kitchen, but since it was specifically mentioned, they decided to take a look.

In addition, they are also afraid that the outhouses in the countryside are too dirty. If the excrement fills the whole yard after it rains, they will not live there.

Uncle Li led people to the toilet, which had a cement floor and three squat toilets. It was clean and tidy, with a large wooden barrel above each squat toilet.

"What are these barrels and ropes for, old man?"
