Pride

"Shopkeeper, I have a fifteen-year-old cousin at home, who is half a head taller than me. She also has two twin brothers, who are about eleven years old and so tall. My younger sister is only this tall. The other two are the two of us.

How much cloth do you think is needed to make one outfit for one person?" Mu Zhixu gestured to the landlady.

She had already taken her fancy to several pieces of cloth.

"Just follow what I said and dress us up. The girls need gouache, aqua blue and light green, the boys...he needs blue, and the other two are cyan."

They all wear filial piety and wear colorful clothes.

The proprietress rarely saw such cheerful customers. She smiled and got busy quickly, "Girls, you are still growing. It would be better if you make your clothes bigger. You can wear them next year. If you keep them well, they can be worn for three or four years. I will too."

To tell you the truth, I’ll give you a little more pressure on each body, and use a larger amount, so that it will be easy to change when the time comes.”

As he spoke, the big scissors in his hands clicked, and he quickly pulled out the cloth.

"How much money?" Mu Zhixu smiled inwardly as he saw the boss lady's quick hands and feet.

"Girl, what you picked is fine cotton, which is slightly more expensive than linen. The total cost is 314 fen, so you can pay 310 fen." The landlady happily wiped out the change.

There were six clothes in total, which was more than half the cost of buying ready-made clothes.

Mu Zhixu took out his purse, gave him three pieces of broken silver, and counted ten copper coins.

With her eyebrows moving, she pointed to the bamboo basket where the landlady had just thrown rags, "Shopkeeper, do you still want that rag head? Can you give me some more?"

My cousin knows how to work as a maid, and she learned it from her third aunt before. This piece of cloth can help her while away her time.

"Girl, to tell you the truth, someone wants this cloth too. It's worth three cents per bag, but seeing how cheerful you are, I'll give you a bag. Please take care of my business in the future!" The landlady is a know-it-all.

, Hearing this, he smiled and dressed Muzhixu's hair.

This fabric is in short supply, and there are many people who want it.

Mu Zhixu also accepted the offer, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, as long as your prices are fair, I will buy more."

It's all based on preconditions.

The landlady wasn't upset either, she still smiled and said, "Of course you are a child."

The two of them went back and forth, and within a few words they exchanged their surnames and their titles changed.

Mu Zhixu took the opportunity to inquire, "By the way, Sister-in-law Liu, I would like to inquire about the academy in our county. Do you know about it?"

I originally thought about going back and asking the village chief, but now that I have the opportunity, I don't have to use it in vain.

Liu Sanniang glanced at Gu Lin, who was standing next to her, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

"Are you looking for your fiancé? Then you have found the right person. There are two academies in our county, Xuyun Academy in the south of the city and Hongle Academy in the east of the city. You chase me in these two academies.

Come on, the students in the academy are quite tit-for-tat!" Liu Sanniang's words were somewhat meaningful.

The academies she mentioned certainly did not include schools for beginners.

There are many junior schools in Rong County, but there is one in Huaihua Town.

Mu Zhixu smiled knowingly, "I wonder what are the requirements for entering these two academies?"

"There are no special requirements, as long as you pass the exam, but...the fees of the two academies are different." For some reason, Liu Sanniang just found the little girl in front of her interesting.

She just wanted to say more.

"The number of Shuxiu in Xuyun Academy is twice that of Hongle Academy, but the dean of Xuyun Academy was born as a Jinshi. I heard that he once got a good result of sixth place in the second class. He worked as an official for two years, and then he got tired of officialdom.

, he resigned and returned to his hometown to open this academy." The reputation of Xuyun Academy has always been very good.

A big part of the reason is because of the dean.

"Girl Mu, if you have money in your hands, I still advise you to choose Xuyun Academy."

Mu Zhixu didn't say whether to choose or not. She asked, "I wonder how many cultivators are in Xuyun Academy?"

"Two taels of silver per month! Pen, ink, paper, inkstone and food expenses are not included."

Mu Zhixu couldn't help but be stunned. Two taels of silver per month, without other expenses, would be twenty-four taels in a year.

If you add in other expenses, it will cost you at least thirty to forty taels a year!

Sure enough, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, because a poor family cannot afford to read.

After making inquiries with the landlady, Mu Zhixu and Gu Lin returned home.

On the way, Mu Zhixu drove and Gu Lin sat next to her.

"What do you want to say?" Even if Mu Zhixu didn't look, he could feel that Gu Lin was hesitant to speak.

"I'm just a little hesitant!" In the past fifteen years, his perception has always been that men are the main ones outside and women are the main ones at home.

If he goes to study now, the family expenses and all the expenses for their studies will fall on Ash's shoulders.

Even though Ash is very powerful and smart, he is still only thirteen years old.

She should have been pampered and pampered.

"Why are you hesitating? Making money is my favorite thing. Besides, you should also know that if I hold a large sum of money without any power behind it, it will eventually be in someone else's pocket."

"So, the most important thing for you now is to study hard, take the imperial examination as soon as possible, and support me. It is best to get the top score in the examination. My business will grow bigger and bigger!"

The girl's eyes were filled with bright stars, and her ambition was undisguised.

Gu Lin glanced at the gloomy sky above his head and said, "Well, I will always support you!"

How can a top pick support him?

The nobles of the Dayan family are intertwined, and various forces are at odds with each other.

If Ash held a large amount of wealth in his hands, it would be easy to attract jealousy.

When the two returned to the village, they first went to the place where they lived to put away the vegetables, and then they went to take a look at the yard.

Most of the people are simple and work hard even when they are paid.

What's more, the farming is busy now, and the wages given by others are also high.

The foundation is almost halfway dug.

In the next few days, Mu Zhixu often checked on the progress, and Gu Lin taught Mu Shen and the others how to read at home.

One day, Zhou Xiucai heard the sound of reading loudly from the east wing and became curious.

When I came out, I saw that the children who rented his house, both boys and girls, were studying and talking fluently.

The person who taught them was a young man with a dark face but as green as a pine tree!

Before he knew it, he was fascinated.

"Zhou Xiucai!" It wasn't until the boy's faint greeting brought him back to his senses.

"Do you know me?" Zhou Xiucai asked subconsciously.

He and several children have never met.

But after he asked the question, he knew he had asked a stupid question.

He is the only scholar in Xiushui Village. They live here, so it is impossible for them not to know their identity. It is normal for them to recognize him when they see him now.

"Have you all read books?" Zhou Xiucai naturally changed the topic.

He was quite curious. It was not easy for a few children to survive in troubled times.

Have you even read a book?

"I've read some." Gu Lin nodded slightly, with a look of pride between his brows.

The young man has this capital.

? ? ?Everyone still needs to pay attention to safety.

• The community was closed today, and I didn't eat it at home, two days of inspection, alas ...
