Chapter 78 Send your younger brother to school
As soon as Gao Xiucai left, Yang Erdan frowned angrily, "God is so disgusted that he allowed the Qian family to produce a man who can read. According to the Qian family's unyielding nature, when Qian Wen is admitted as a scholar, they will definitely come to us and cause trouble!"
Old man Yang and Mr. Yang looked at each other with extremely heavy hearts.
Gao Yong chuckled and said: "You don't have to worry so much. As far as I know, the college examination is very difficult. Otherwise, we wouldn't have only a few scholars in Ping'an County. Besides, they are just scholars. They just have fame and are not officials. If he really passes the exam, As a scholar, the Qian family cannot make trouble based on his status. After all, scholars cherish feathers and will not easily let their reputation be damaged.
You can tell by looking at Gao Xiucai. I have just explained the situation clearly to him, but do you think he looks happy? "
The three Yang family members thought about it carefully and found that Gao Xiucai was really worried when he left. He was probably worried about his reputation being damaged by the Qian family.
Thinking about this, the three of them felt a lot more relaxed in an instant. After having dinner at Gao's house, they hurried to the county, found a cheap inn and spent the night together. They took an ox cart back to the village before dawn the next day.
At the same time, Gao Xiucai, who had been sleepless all night, waited for Qian Wen to come to the school and immediately took him to the study room. The two talked inside for two quarters of an hour. Qian Wen came out with a gloomy face.
His student Tian Feng was grinding ink for him in the school. When he saw him approaching in a menacing manner, his hand shook in fright and two drops of ink spilled.
Qian Wen took the opportunity to get angry and slapped him, "You're useless. You can't do such a small thing well. You're a waste!"
Tian Feng covered his face and stood timidly on the side, his eyelids drooping.
Gao Tianyi, his classmate at the next table, said carelessly: "What's wrong with being so grand! Is it because I didn't write the article well and was punished by the master?"
Qian Wen glared at Gao Tianyi fiercely, "I want you to take care of it!"
As he said that, he knocked Tian Feng away and strode out. When he was almost at the door, he turned back aggressively, "Get over here quickly! You're a lump of elm wood!"
Old man Qian looked puzzled when his grandson came back so early, "What's going on? There are no classes in the school today?"
Qian Wen shouted angrily with tears in his eyes: "It's all my aunt's fault! If she hadn't committed a crime, Tang Xiucai would not have disagreed to be my guarantee. I can't take the college examination now! Grandpa, what should I do?"
"Nonsense! What does your aunt have to do with you? Why can't she guarantee you! Let's go! I will take you to your home to reason! Don't worry, as long as I support you, I will definitely let that Tang Xiucai guarantee for you!" The old man pulled Qian Wen out aggressively.
Tian Feng silently watched their grandfather and grandson walk away, with a sarcastic sneer on his lips. When he saw Tian coming out of the house, he returned to his timid appearance.
Seeing that Tian Feng was the only one in the yard, Tian asked, "Where is Awen? I just heard his voice."
Tian Feng carefully explained the situation.
Tian immediately frowned, "Damn it! What does my son's matter have to do with a money-losing guy! That Tang Xiucai is clearly unreasonable! Go, call your uncle and the others back quickly, and ask them to follow, and you, you Come along too."
“Am I going too?” Tian Feng frowned.
Mrs. Tian snorted coldly: "If you don't want to go, do you want me to go? Ah Feng, don't forget who gave you mother and son a meal, and who asked you to study with Ah Wen. You wouldn't do it if there was no Qian family." You must be grateful for today! If you don’t obey me, don’t blame your aunt for turning her back on you!” Tian Feng had long been accustomed to Tian’s threats and silently turned around and ran into the fields.
After a while, all the men of the Qian family came back. When it came to the Qian Wen exam, everyone did not dare to be careless and rushed to the county seat in a swarm.
After Old Man Yang returned to Rongshu Village with his son and grandson, the three of them did not go to the village. Instead, they first went to the east of the village to find Jiang Ning.
Old man Yang mainly talked about the Qian family and Li, and then focused on the Gao family's house building.
After hearing what Old Man Yang meant, Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Dad, this is a good idea. The stone foundation is well built and can last for a hundred or even a thousand years. It's a pity to reject it. It's no wonder that Capt. Gao's father doesn't agree. Now that he can let go, we can We need to call in more people here, otherwise it will be difficult to finish the work of the Gao family and the Niu family before the Spring Festival.”
“I think so too. We are looking for a few trustworthy people from our tribe. Do you have any other candidates?” Old Man Yang looked at Jiang Ning longingly.
Jiang Ning immediately pushed Yang Jun, Yang Xiao and the others to Old Man Yang, and even Yang Yong was introduced by her to the Qingfeng Mountain yard to help throw adobe bricks.
After sending Old Man Yang and Young Lao San away, Jiang Ning saw that Yang Erdan was still at home with no intention of going out, so he glanced at him suspiciously, "What? He looks very worried."
When Yang Santie and others who had just entered the door heard this, they all looked at Yang Erdan and said jokingly: "Second brother, do you also want to get a wife?"
"What nonsense!" Yang Erdan glared at Yang Santie angrily, "What have you been doing in the village all day? You even imitated those women who gossiped behind their backs!"
Yang Santie was startled, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Are you so angry?"
Yang Erdan glanced at his younger siblings, sat down frustrated, and hesitated for a long time before looking up at Jiang Ning, "Auntie, should our family send Santie and Sizhuang to school?"
Yang Santie, who was drinking water, was so frightened that he choked on the spot and jumped up. It was very funny. After he calmed down, he looked at Yang Erdan with a look of horror on his face, "Auntie, is the second brother right?" Why are you so excited? Why do you want me and Sizhuang to go to school if our family is not very good now?"
Jiang Ning really had such an idea, but because the eldest son and the second son were already old, he would definitely have to provide for the younger one if he really wanted to study. In this case, he would not be able to hold the bowl of water. This was also the main reason why she had not spoken yet. Unexpectedly, Yang Erdan took the initiative to mention it, and someone gave him a pillow if he was really sleepy.
She asked calmly: "What do you think?"
Yang Erdan depressedly told everyone about the Qian family, "I think it's unfair. The Qian family is so bad. Why is Qian Wen just a scholar? I don't believe it. There are so many of our brothers and they can't compare to one Qian Wen!" The eldest brother now has a serious job and is married to a wife, so he will definitely not be able to study.
I want to build a house with my grandpa. I like doing that kind of work and can still make money. I can’t go to school. The Three Iron and Four Villages are still small and there is nothing serious to do. I can just go to school for two years. If they study Our family will continue to provide the materials. If they can read a few words without the ability, no one in our village can read! "
Jiang Ning did not expect that Yang Erdan would have such a foresight and was overjoyed, "Have you ever thought about how much it costs to study for a year?"
When money was mentioned, Yang Santie immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I won't go! It's a waste of money! Besides, I have thorns on my **** and I can't sit still. Don't waste money on me. If you want to go, let Sizhuang do it." go!"
Yang Santie pushed Yang Sizhuang forward in a hurry.
