Chapter 149： parting

“Dad, I understand.” Yang Laosan hurriedly agreed.

After talking about the important things, Zhou came to Jiang Ning and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, how much is the annual repair work for the Third Iron and Fourth Village?"

Jiang Ning immediately understood what Zhou meant, "Do you want to send Lai Gui to study?"

Zhou blushed so much that she bit her lip and nodded lightly, "I only have one son, and I don't know if I can have another son in the future. My family was so poor before that I didn't even dare to think about it, but now the third child is making money outside." , I just want Lai Gui to go to school and learn how to read. We don’t want him to be a scholar, as long as he can read like Xiaoya.”

Jiang Ning understood Zhou's thoughts quite well, and thought for a moment before saying: "Three Irons and Four Villages study in Mapo. There are three gentlemen there, all of whom are talented and learned. Of course, the training there will be more expensive. Two taels of silver a year, plus food and accommodation, it costs three taels of silver a year. This does not include books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. If we include these, it will cost about seven or eight taels of silver a year. "

“Hiss!” Mr. Zhou was stunned, “This is so expensive!”

To her, seven or eight taels was like an astronomical figure, and she could buy a lot of land. From this, it seemed that her sister-in-law was really powerful, and she could support her two sons in education at once.

Zhou was amazed and admired, and the thoughts in her heart could not help but waver.

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "The Mapo School is expensive. The private school of Tang Xiucai in the county and the school of Gao Xiucai in Gaojiazhuang should not be so expensive. It is estimated that it is about 1,200 words a year, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone can be used." It’s cheap. If you really want it, I’ll buy it for you. I have a way here.”

Zhou's dull eyes suddenly regained their luster, and she excitedly grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, "Sister-in-law, thank you, I'll discuss it with the third child right now."

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes and said: "If Laigui is really sent to school, I suggest that he go to Tang Xiucai. Tang Xiucai's character is better than Gao Xiucai after all, and Qian Wen studied at Gao Xiucai's school, so Laigui The past was not good!”

Mrs. Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law is right, you can't go to Gao Xiucai's side."

"What's more! Didn't my father say that there are many people in the county looking for them to build houses, so he asked the third child to take over the work there? In this way, you can see your biological father every day, and you don't have to live in a school. You can also save money. A sum of money." Jiang Ning tried his best to figure it out for Zhou.

The Zhou family is almost worshiping her as an ancestor now, and she will listen to whatever Jiang Ning says.

After all the questions were resolved, Ms. Zhou mustered up the courage to go to Old Man Yang and Mr. Li to discuss the matter.

Jiang Ning saw that they had nothing to do here, so he immediately took his family back.

In the next few days, people from the village would always come to visit. After all, thanks to her family this year, every household in the village had made money and had surplus food. This had never happened in previous disaster years. The villagers did not say it. I was really grateful, no matter how poor the family was, they would send a piece of cake to her family.

Huang Zhengyang saw this and sighed with Tian Feng: "Ms. Jiang's family is very popular in the village."

Tian Feng’s lips twitched slightly, “That’s now. I heard Erdan say it wasn’t like this before.”

Then Tian Feng told Huang Zhengyang the news he had heard from hearsay. Huang Zhengyang was stunned when he heard it. He didn't dare to think that the current Jiang Ning and the legendary Jiang Ning were the same person. He felt more and more that Jiang Ning was not simple.

After a few days of excitement, the day came when Yang Datou and the others left again. This time, even Yang Erdan and Yang Xiaoya had to go with them. Jiang Ning was the only one left in the family. Of course, if Huang Zhengyang and Tian Feng were included, That's three people.

Before leaving, Huang Zhengyang called Yang Santie and Yang Sizhuang into the room again and tested their homework with a serious face.

The two of them memorized the "Disciple Regulations" with great pain and resentment, answered them together with their opinions, and answered several of Huang Zhengyang's questions before being released. Walking out of the courtyard, Yang Santie felt relieved. He smiled bitterly at Yang Sizhuang and said, "Who would have thought that we would study all the "Disciple Rules" in one trip back. Gentlemen will definitely be surprised and happy when they find out after we go back. "

“He will also praise us for our hard work. Third brother can take the opportunity to gain a good impression and sell a few more rolls of rice paper.” Yang Sizhuang said with an expression like “I’ve seen through you already.”

Yang Santie stopped pretending and rushed out of the house as if he had been beaten to death, "Mapu, I'm here!"

Everyone laughed when they saw it.

Jiang Ning led them to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain and handed a group of children to Yang Han, "I'm going to trouble you again!"

Yang Han shook his head, "Nothing."

Yang Xiaohua looked at Yang Xiaoya with tears in her eyes, "You should learn from the master over there and remember to come back to see me!"

Yang Han touched his daughter's head distressedly.

Jiang Ning pondered and said: "How about letting Xiaohua go to learn female red with Xiaoya? Even if you can't learn from Lady Wan, you can still learn from Lady Jiang first."

Yang Han shook his head, "I've troubled you in the past two years. There is a wealthy family in the county who wants to choose a maid for their young lady. I plan to let Xiaohua try it out."

Everyone was shocked by the news. Yang Santie eagerly pulled Yang Han to stop him, "Uncle Han, it's not like your family is too poor to open the pot. Why do you want to send Xiaohua to work as a maid in a rich family? Are you planning to marry again? Doesn’t it hurt Xiaohua?”

Yang Han was speechless, "When did I say I wanted to marry again? Besides, I didn't say I wanted to sell my daughter. I just sent her to work for a wealthy family. She signed a living contract and didn't sell herself. She was still a good citizen, and she went to a wealthy family. You can still learn something, which is better than following me.”

Yang Santie was stunned, "Is there such a good thing?"

"What else? There are not many slaves in the Zhao family in the county. Almost all of them recruit such people to work. A batch will be replaced every ten years. You can go and ask about it." Yang Han said.

Jiang Ning frowned when he heard this, "If you sign a living contract, it should be difficult to get the master's family to take him seriously! Usually you only do some menial work when you go in. I guess the master can't remember such a person. What can you learn by sending him in?"

Yang Han sighed, "Her mother died early. If you stay with me, I can protect her for a while, but I can't protect her for a lifetime. Look at her simple temper. What will she do if she marries her husband's family in the future? At least she can learn from serving a young lady in a wealthy family. The ability to read people's looks and have an eye for things is also quite good.

Moreover, the Zhao family is well-known for being a kind family. They have never heard of bullying their servants. They can go home once a month, so there is nothing to worry about. "

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning said nothing more.

Yang Xiaoya couldn't bear to let her good sisters endure hardship, and kept holding her hand, with tears in her eyes, "If you want to be well, I will go find you when I get back. If you are not happy staying at Zhao's house, tell Uncle Han, and Uncle Han will definitely not be able to let you go." "Be wronged."

As she spoke, Yang Xiaoya took off her hair flower and put it on Yang Xiaohua's head, "Your name is Xiaohua, and this flower is for you! I will give you a flower every year from now on!"

Yang Xiaohua nodded heavily, sniffed, and watched Yang Xiaoya gradually disappear from her sight with tears in her eyes.
