Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss
Chapter 81 Koi Heroine 11
The family of four debated for a long time, and finally adopted Su Xing's opinion and sent only Lin Sishu to study.
Lin Dalong and Liu Ya felt guilty about Su Xing's decision, thinking that it was their incompetence as parents that prevented their two children from having the same opportunity to go to school.
Su Xing had no feelings about this. She didn't need to study, let alone go to a private school.
Moreover, although the status of women in this world is not that low, there are girls' academies specifically for girls to study in the folks. However, most of what is taught in these academies are the Four Books for Girls and Women's Rules.
What they learn are basically about how to be a good wife, assist their husbands, raise children, etiquette and rules, etc. Most of the etiquette and rules that women learn are for serving men.
There was no way Su Xing would go to such a girls' school. She was afraid that if she went there, the school would be so angry that it would be torn down.
Lin Dalong wanted to send Lin Sishu to school, so he immediately went out to look for a suitable private school. There were two options for studying: the town and the county.
There are two private schools in the town, both run by scholars. There are more private schools in the county, three, two of whom are also scholars and one is a juren.
The tuition for the private school for two scholars in the county town was very expensive, costing fifteen taels of silver a year. In addition to the pens, ink, paper and inkstone for studying, the total cost for a year was thirty taels of silver.
The private school for Juren is the most expensive, three times more expensive than that for Xiucai, at 45 taels of silver a year, but one lunch is provided and there is guaranteed to be meat in the meal.
The private school run by the scholar in the town is the cheapest, costing only ten taels of silver a year, but there are too many people, and in terms of teaching ability, they are not as good as the two scholars in the county.
There were two scholars in the county. One taught three students and the other taught two students. The juren was even more amazing. He ran a private school for ten years and taught more than twenty scholars and one juren.
The best option, of course, would be to go to a private school for a juren, but the price is too high, and Lin Dalong, Liu Ya and Lin Sishu are all reluctant to do so.
The most important thing is that going to the private school of the Juren clearly tells everyone that their family is very rich and wealthy.
According to Su Xing's idea, she would go to the private school of the scholar in the county town. When she could think of a way to find a legitimate and profitable business, she would move her family to the county town and then transfer Lin Sishu to the private school of the juren nearby.
However, Lin Sishu refused to do so. He insisted on going to the private school of the scholar in the town. Not only was the tuition cheap, but most importantly, the distance was short and it only took half an hour to walk there.
If I went to the county town, I would not only have to walk for half an hour to the town every day, but I would also have to take a horse carriage in the town and take another half an hour to go to the county town to study. It was too much trouble and too far.
In the end, Su Xing's opinion was rejected, and the family decided to let Lin Sishu go to town to study first.
This decision was actually mainly due to the fact that neither Liu Ya nor Lin Dalong thought that Lin Sishu would be able to take the exam. They thought that the ancestors of the Lin family were all farmers and had no ability to become officials.
The two of them only wanted Lin Sishu to be able to read and write, so that he could find a high-paying job, such as an accountant or a shop owner. That would be enough.
Su Xing was thinking that the exams before becoming a scholar were all about knowledge from books, and did not test one's own thoughts much, so one could pass them by rote memorization.
As for rote memorization, any teacher will do. It won’t be too late to change to a famous teacher after you pass the examination. Besides, I am here, so I don’t have to worry about Lin Sishu learning the wrong thing.
After Lin Sishu's schooling was settled, Su Xing immediately said, "Dad, Mom, why don't we buy a cow and get a bullock cart so that we can go to town to pick up my brother for school.
When farming, having a cow will make it easier for Dad and Mom. Otherwise, it would be too tiring for Dad and Mom to work on all ten acres of land. "
Unexpectedly, Lin Dalong said with a smile: "It's just ten acres of land. Your father can finish it by himself. It's not that tiring."
Su Xing forgot that the yield from farming in ancient times was insufficient, so they could only plant more land to ensure that their family would not starve to death. It was indeed normal for one person to plant ten acres of land.
This is if your family owns land. If not, you need to rent land from the landlord. The landlord collects rent very heavily. In order to fill your stomach, everyone needs to rent more land to leave enough food.
"Although Dad can do it, we are not without conditions. Why should we work so hard when we can relax? Besides, if our family wants to go out to the county town to play in the future, it will be convenient to have a bullock cart."
Finally, Lin Dalong and Liu Ya were persuaded by Su Xing and decided to buy the cow and cart first and then send Lin Sishu to private school.
In fact, cows walk slowly, and riding an ox cart to go to private school is not much faster than walking by yourself. But cows have the advantage of being strong and can pull more things, making them good workers. Besides, no matter how slow the ox cart is, you can still walk while sitting, which is not tiring.
Early the next morning, Lin Dalong and Su Xing hurriedly ate a steamed bun and set out to buy an ox cart. Lin Sishu and Liu Ya watched over the people building the house, and Su Xing followed Lin Dalong, mainly because he was afraid that Lin Dalong would be cheated.
The Lin family had never raised cattle, and Lin Dalong had never herded cattle since he was a child. Su Xing was afraid that he would buy a sick cow or an old cow.
If you want to buy a cow, you naturally have to go to the cattle and horse market in the county town. This place is full of large livestock for sale, including cows, horses, donkeys, mules, and even piglets and lambs raised for meat.
Su Xing and Lin Dalong went straight to the place where cattle were sold and selected the cattle they liked.
The price of cattle fluctuates greatly. When the dynasty was just founded, a cow cost only two to ten taels of silver. Now, the price has risen to eight to twenty taels of silver.
In the late period of the previous dynasty, the emperor was incompetent and the officials were corrupt. At that time, a cow could be sold at a sky-high price of one hundred taels, which really left the common people with no way to survive.
Su Xing and Lin Dalong took a look around. The cattle were of different breeds, some big and some small. The cheapest cow, which cost eight taels of silver, was either too young to work or too old.
Lin Dalong looked at a calf and was a little tempted. He discussed with Su Xing: "This calf looks good. Why don't we buy it? It won't take long for it to be able to work, and we can save ten taels of silver."
Su Xing disagreed: "Dad, we are waiting for the cows to work, it's not worth keeping them first, let's buy adult cows."
The main reason was that Su Xing took a fancy to a big blue bull next to the calf. It was half a head taller than the other bulls, tall and strong, and looked very strong.
The most important thing is that Su Xing saw that there was a bit of spiritual light on the cow. Many animals have a bit of spiritual light, and those particularly smart animals all have a bit of spiritual light, commonly known as human nature.
Su Xing actually likes cows very much. Cows are very smart animals, no worse than cats and dogs, or even smarter, and they are full of emotions.
Su Xing liked this big blue bull at first sight, but it was very expensive. Other bulls were priced at 20 taels at most, but this one was priced at 25 taels. Seeing this, Lin Dalong gasped and pulled Su Xing's hand: "Xing'er, this is too expensive."
Su Xing stretched out his hand to the big blue ox. The big blue ox lowered its head to sniff and licked the palm of Su Xing's hand. Su Xing turned his head to look at Lin Dalong: "Dad, don't you like it?"
Lin Dalong looked at the big blue ox in embarrassment. How could he not like such a handsome ox? But the silver was too expensive.
Su Xing said directly: "Dad, this cow is so big, it can definitely pull heavier carts, it is more cost-effective than other cows."
"No, that won't work. Although this cow is used for work, you can't use it to death." Lin Dalong felt distressed before he even bought the cow.
Seeing that Su Xing and Lin Dalong had taken a fancy to his cattle, the cattle dealer came over and said, "My fellow villager, you have good taste. Our big blue cattle is just two years old and has not yet reached adulthood.
When it grows up, its head will grow longer. Besides, this cow is docile and has never kicked or butted anyone. You don’t have to worry about it not being obedient when you buy it.”
Hearing the cattle dealer say that the cow could still grow taller, Lin Dalong was completely moved. He picked up a handful of green grass beside him and put it to the big blue cow's mouth, and the big blue cow ate it obediently.
Just when Lin Dalong was about to make the decision to buy it, a voice came from the side: "We'll buy this cow!"
