Grandpa is not vegetarian

Mu Yunyi accepted Niu Yuanyi as his son, and let him live in the city, and never went back to Shangqinghe Village. He bought him two sets of new clothes, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, all expenses were the same as Gao Yiqing's. Same, let him live in the outer room of the east house.

The current layout of the Mu family mansion is: Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun lived in the east room; Shang Yi, Ma Le, Gao Yiqing, Niu Yuanyi, Qiu Lang, Mo Xiang and the Ji brothers lived in the outside of the east room. Xiang lived with Gao Xuehong, but Mu Yunyi said that children have to be in groups, always specialize, and will be lonely in the future. Gao Xuehong couldn't understand the meaning, but Mu Yunyi is the head of the family, even if he let Mo Xiang live She also lives in the chaifang, so she asked Mo Xiang to live with everyone outside the east room; Gao Xuehong and Gao Yitian lived in the west room; Ji Baogen and Gao Chunhua lived in the west room.

A total of fourteen people have to eat a lot of rice every day, as well as soup, one tael of silver a month, plus the pens, inks and papers used, and the seasonal clothes of several children, all of which are large sums of money. Expenses, according to Mu Yunyi's statistics, are daily expenses of two taels of silver a month.Don't worry about any big things, and now I have to take the school money of the three children, as well as the expenses in the free school, ten taels of silver can't stop it.If in the past, Mu Yunyi couldn't get it out at all, even if he forced it together, he would have to return to the old living standard of eating chaff and swallowing vegetables.

Fortunately, the teahouse business is booming now, and they can earn close to two taels of silver in a day, plus those who sold fans a few days ago and sold watermelons these days, it is not difficult to spend these expenses at all, let alone Gao Yichun He is also making money, and his small restaurant is also making a lot of money. Although it still mainly serves Malatang, it also starts to make breakfast, cook porridge and steam buns for sale. Twelve kinds, four kinds of steamed stuffed buns, plus steamed buns and steamed buns, also make a lot of money. Every day when it is good, it can earn eight or nine hundred yuan, and when it is bad, it can also have five or six hundred yuan.

Both Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun have become small rich men. Even if they have two more children, they still live a well-to-do life. Both of them believe that they will get better and better in the future. Otherwise, after they become adults, they will have to serve in corvée. Although it has been said that there has been no corvée in recent years, and even if corvée can be used to eliminate disasters with money, there is no insurance for getting fame.

Based on this mentality, Mu Yunyi's requirements for several children became more and more strict, and of course he was also very strict with himself. He asked Gao Xuehong and Gao Yitian to make six schoolbags and six pencil cases, all of which were divided into compartments according to the style of schoolbags of later generations. Yes, lined with broadband backpacks, and then embroidered some patterns of kittens fishing, crows drinking water, monkeys fishing for the moon, tadpoles looking for their mothers, etc., and their respective names on it, and a famous saying on the pencil case, such as "Book Mountain There is a road with hard work, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work", "An inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is hard to buy an inch of time", etc. They also embroidered their respective names. The six children walked on the street with this schoolbag on their backs. A landscape.

Yixue first originated in the Han Dynasty, and gradually increased in the Song Dynasty. Many retired and relegated officials returned home to fund the school, set up an academy, and wrote books and biographies.After the catastrophe of the Mongols and the Yuan Dynasty, the Chinese culture was devastated. When the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty first came to the throne, he often couldn’t find a few scholars who studied in every prefecture. It is limited, part of the money will be provided by the province, and part of the money will be provided by the county, and the rest will be shared among the rich and the gentry. meal.

On the fifth day of August, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun brought six children to Taoli Street. Wangcheng County did not have such a large scale, and many places were expanded later because of the development of the Dongshan Timber Factory. The original free school was Jiang Yu's grandfather funded and built it after he retired and returned to his hometown. It was named Taoli Academy, and later it became Taoli Street. Now, the Zhao family, the Wei family and other rich and gentlemen all donate money, so the construction of the academy is not bad. .

It is a courtyard with three entrances. The first entrance is the place where the elementary school children attend classes. They only teach [-] types of elementary school. Tea is provided for students.The second one entered the courtyard, where most of the students attended classes. They began to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and tried to write eight-legged essays.The third courtyard is where the gentlemen of the private school live.

After passing the screen, Mu Yunyi saw that many children were already playing, and many of them were behind the corridor. The youngest was five or six years old, and the oldest was in his early teens, all staring at them curiously.

First go to the inverted hall on the left to go through the admission formalities and pay 18 taels of silver. The steward Zhao recognized Mu Yunyi and enthusiastically sold books to him, saying: "Your children are young, if you are afraid of being knocked If you touch it, I can ask our maid to take care of you, serve tea and water, wash pens and ink, and keep you satisfied. If you are afraid that the child will be hungry and need to provide snacks in the middle, we also have..."

Mu Yunyi waved his hand: "I don't need maids to take care of me, and I'm not allowed to eat snacks in the middle. They come here and just study, it's not for enjoyment. I need you to help me watch it. If any of them just want to be mischievous and refuse to be good You are good at studying, please tell me that you can use the family law when you go home!" The steward was bored, so it was fine, the two parties signed the contract, stamped it, and brought them to the husband.

First came to the East Wing, and found Mrs. Zhao, a child student who failed to pass the examination as a scholar, and it was enough to enlighten the child. Mu Yunyi saw that he would be in his early 30s, and his temples had gray hair. It is because the life at home is not very good, and I have never been able to go to school, and I feel upset, so I have gray hair early.

Mu Yunyi clasped fists with him. The other party knew Mu Yunyi, so he didn't dare to trust him, so he bowed his hands and returned the salute. The two stood in the corridor talking, and Mu Yunyi said: "I entrust the child to you, sir, please take care of me. I'm naughty. Just discipline them, but they won't listen, so you can find a way to tell me that if you can achieve something in the future, it will all be due to the blessing of Mr. Two gifts are not respect, so please accept them."

Ask Niu Yuanyi and Qiu Lang to pay homage to Mr. and present him as a gift. Mu Yunyi knew that the families who became Mr. in this courtyard were not very rich, so he gave money directly, three hundred yuan each, and put it in a box. In the wooden box, two copies are worth [-] yuan. After he left, Mr. Zhao felt his eyes light up when he saw it. The [-] yuan was almost equal to his two-month salary. Looking at Mu Yunyi Looking at his back, he thought that he is so famous in the county, and he has made friends with several celebrities and rich gentry, so he is quite rich and powerful. If he can make friends with him, there will be a lot of benefits, he looked down Looking at Xiao Douding who was standing there, peeping at him, he made up his mind to teach these two children well, so that he would have the confidence to talk to Mr. Mu Xiao in the future, so he turned around, picked up the ruler, and started to question.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yunyi and Gao Yichun went to the courtyard on the second floor and brought Xiao Wu, Mo Xiang, and the Ji family brothers over.

The students in this courtyard range from the youngest in their teens to the oldest in their forties. They are all students who have passed the Mengtong and started to sprint towards the scholar.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Qiu Xiaobao running out of the west wing: "Xiao Wu! Brother Yuanbao, Brother Yichun, you are here!"

Seeing him, the four children were also very happy. Qiu Xiaobao also brought out a few classmates to introduce each other.

This time, without waiting for Manager Zhao to recommend him, Qiu Xiaobao took them to his classroom: "Come to our class, we will study together in the future, Mr. Guan in our class is very good at teaching, my uncle helped me choose of it."

Hearing what he said, Mu Yunyi regretted that he didn't inquire about the rules here in advance. It turned out that he could choose his own teacher. If he had known this, he should have asked Fan Juren. Go to a restaurant to have a meal, get ready, and it's over if you come directly to school today. In my habitual thinking, although Gao Yichun is careful, he doesn't know what's going on here, so he ignores it. Fortunately, he met Qiu Xiaobao, otherwise he would be rejected This manager Zhao was brought to a teacher with two swords, but it was terrible.

Mrs. Guan was tall and tall, with a flushed face, as if the second master Guan was still alive. He spoke with great aura, and when he got close, his ears were buzzing. He talked to Mu Yunyi a lot. Respect, no one else, just because he is a student of Fan Juren. Fan Juren won the exam at the age of 54. He has been impoverished before, and he has quite a few poor relatives. Being able to teach here is due to Fan Juren's favor. I usually go to Fan Juren to ask for advice, and I often hear him say good things about Mu Yunyi, so I don't look down on him at all because he is a scholar, the other party is white, and he is young. .

Mu Yunyi told him that he drank a cup of tea and chatted for a few words, but they had a very pleasant conversation. He felt that the master of this pass was good, and asked the four children to worship Confucius, Yan Hui, and Mr. Bai. After the ceremony, the four The wooden boxes each contained five hundred Wen coins, a total of two taels of silver, which was quite a windfall for Guan Fuzi. I'm not afraid that he will not be dedicated, otherwise, Mu Yunyi can ask the school to change the teacher , If he goes to another class, he will not be able to earn any money in the future.

Master Guan personally found a seat not far from him. Gao Yiqing sat with Qiu Lang and Mo Xiang, next to Qiu Xiaobao's table, with their backs against the door wall and their sides facing Mr. The Ji family brothers sat in the third row facing the husband, at the same table as another young man with patches on his clothes.

The schoolbags carried by the four of them are eye-catching enough, and then they took out the pencil case embroidered with the motto, the writing brush engraved with the name, and the book cover made of cloth with stick figures inside, which Mu Yunyi copied by himself. The textbooks are all novel for the children in the class. Feeling everyone's envious eyes, the four of them proudly puffed up their small chests, remembering what Mu Yunyi told them last night, and each of them secretly vowed that they must study hard and take the exam as soon as possible. Being a scholar, Fang lived up to the hard work of Brother Yuanbao (Mr.).
