Chapter 1356

Mr. Zhuang thought with a teacup in his hand. He looked out of the window because the sun was good today. Although it was cold, it was the best time for the sun.

Therefore, the window was wide open to let the sun in. The sun shone on the table in front of Mr. Zhuang.

His hand holding the tea cup was right in the beam of light, like holding the sun.

In the ethereal fragrance of tea, Mr. Zhuang's voice was also ethereal. He said, "you know, I now take Bai Shan and Bai Cheng. One of them is studying at the Imperial College and the other is studying at the Imperial College. With their family background, it is inevitable to become an official."

He said, "you don't have to worry that Ji'an will not be taken care of after he enters the officialdom. With the love of our family, they will take care of Ji'an."

Mr. Zhuang raised his eyes to the thoughtful Zhuang Dalang and whispered, "Dalang, being a father is not obsessed with being an official, nor does he have any great ambition for children to complete. Like you, I want them to live better in the future."

"You really live a stable life in Zhangjia, but after all, you are attached to people. This is not a long-term plan."

Seeing him frown, Mr. Zhuang ordered to stop immediately and turned to say, "I still mean that. You don't want Ji'an to go to the capital with me. It's better to send him to county school, read a few more years and take the math test. If your father and son really don't want to go to the county government, you can go to Zhangjia again."

He said, "you are in your prime of life. It's no problem to do it for another twenty or thirty years. Why rush to take Ji'an to experience?"

Mr. Zhuang said so. Zhuang Dalang finally calmed down and thought. He hesitated and said, "Ji'an can't enter the county school..."

"I'll find a way to let him attend school. Don't worry. Learn as you should." Mr. Zhuang said, "he may be worse in other studies, but he is not bad in arithmetic. As long as he can keep up with this course, neither the students nor the students will despise him."

Zhuang Dalang hesitated before nodding.

Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was more difficult to persuade his son than to teach several children to read books for a month.

But it's also an improvement.

Mr. Zhuang said that if he wanted to send Zhuang Ji'an to the county school, he could really send him in.

After returning to his hometown, he operated for many years. At first, some people did talk about him in private, but later no one mentioned it anymore.

He has friends in Luojiang county and more in mianzhou. Otherwise, he could not recommend Bai Dalang to mianzhou's government school.

After Mr. Zhuang came back, he found someone. As long as he gave a sum of money, he could let Zhuang Ji'an go to the county school to listen in.

However, he still avoided Zhuang Dalang and called Zhuang Ji'an into his study and told him, "although you can go to the county to study as a spectator, you'd better take the exam yourself. Your ability is limited now, but you can study for another year, next year, no, when it's the next year."

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile, "you can try the exam the next spring."

He handed the five books to Zhuang Ji'an and said with a smile, "I have made notes on them. You can see them. If you don't understand them, go and consult your husband. Don't be afraid to ask when you are learning, you know?"

Zhuang Ji'an respectfully responded.

Mr. Zhuang just let him leave.

Although sister-in-law Zhuang objected to her son's leaving with her father-in-law, she did not object to her son's entering the county school. Instead, she was very happy and quietly asked Zhuang Dalang, "what about Ji ran if her father can let Ji an enter the county school?"

Zhuang Dalang:

He couldn't help glancing at his wife, "what do you think? How old is Ji ran? Moreover, the county school is not opened by our family. My father stuffed Ji'an in. I don't know how much human feelings and money it cost. Don't think about it. You want Ji ran to enter the school and let him study hard and take the exam by himself. "

He thinks it's nothing if he can't pass the exam. As long as he reads and knows arithmetic and accounting, it's still very easy to find work.

Sister Zhuang couldn't help asking, "does it cost a lot of money?"

Zhuang Dalang gave a "um".

Sister Zhuang felt distressed, then leaned against Zhuang Dalang and asked, "how much did it cost, and how much money does father-in-law still have?"

Zhuang Dalang looked at her and said, "didn't dad give fifty liang of silver when he came back? I've asked the dentist these two days. No one sells the land around the county. I'll look elsewhere later. It's OK to go far away. After buying the land, I'll find someone to cultivate it. Take more care of your family. How are the spring clothes you made for your father“

So I turned the topic away.

Mr. Zhuang sold all his fields when he came to Beijing. The money the dealer made over the years was to buy land in addition to the cost of reading for the children.

Even if Zhuang Dalang doesn't farm, he can plant for tenant farmers. Although he is not a lot, he is also a family business.

Although Mrs. Zhuang was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything. She knew that although they received gifts from outside, her husband didn't like her to ask her father-in-law for money.

The dealer didn't keep the new year, but the old Zhou family kept the new year in the hall.

There are too many people in the family, especially children. It's noisy. Adults can't hear each other.

In his anger, Zhou Dalang waved the children back to his house.

It's impossible to go back to their own house. The children grabbed candy and ran outside. They ran to the yard and played together. Man Bao was not old and ran with them.

There were only adults left in the main room, which was still bustling like a vegetable market, and none of the children could see.

Sanya also helped to hold the youngest eight to play.

Man Bao's room was the most spacious, so everyone went into her room together. Three heads took a brazier from the kitchen and directly warmed in the room.

The four heads did not know where to drag out a small bag of yam beans, picked up more than a dozen and baked them in the brazier.

He vowed to tell man Bao, "roasted yam beans are very delicious."

Obviously, they usually bake secretly.

Although he was just full, man Bao swallowed his saliva.

The five little ones took toys from their sister-in-law's shelf to play. They formed a school of their own. Manbao's older ones sat by the fire pot, baking yam beans and talking.

Zhou Liwei asked, "Li Xue is going to the capital with us in the spring?"

Man Bao nodded, "I want Li Xue to study in the capital and take the imperial college entrance examination in the future."

There are so many children in their family. At present, it can be seen that the boys who study better are Zhou Lixue.

One side of Sanya looked up at her brother and said complacently, "second brother, I want to go to the capital with my sister-in-law."

Zhou Liwei was stunned. He really didn't know about it.

Man Bao also patted his head. "I forgot to talk to my second brother and second sister-in-law. I'll talk tomorrow. Sanya, remember to remind me."

The four heads who were waiting for yam beans to be cooked were shocked. They looked at the third brother and the third sister. They asked incredulously, "I'm the only one left in that family?"

"Aren't they human?"

The four heads said unhappily, "they are so small that they can't go to study with me."

Four head Zhou Ligu is only a few months younger than three Ya Zhou Liru. They grew up together and read at the same table.

Man Bao looked at Zhou Ligu, then at Zhou Lixue and said, "why don't you go?"
