Chapter 4 I'm also a scholar

I have 24 hours of posting books and have collected more than a thousand yuan. It is the best result of Bottom writing books. I can't compare to the great master, but Bottom is very happy because I know that my readers are all here.

...........

"I also heard from my uncles. Whether it is true or not, I didn't dare to ask my father."

Wei Liangqing didn't want to talk about this anymore. He was worried that his younger brother would suffer from his leg injury after standing outside for a long time, so he pulled his younger brother into the yard, but his father Wei Jinde came back from the ground.

"Where is your eldest sister?"

Wei Jinde rolled up his trouser legs and carried a piece of pork belly with a straw rope in his hand. It seemed that he had bought a piece of meat. Liangchen estimated that this piece of meat was probably owed back by his father's credit, because as far as he knew, his father owed a lot of money to cure his injuries.

Wei Liangqing said, "I'm leaving, my elder brother-in-law said there is still something to do at home, so I'll go back first." He didn't dare to mention his elder brother-in-law Yang Liuqi's attitude just now, for fear that his father would be annoyed when he heard it.

"Oh, are you leaving?"

Wei Jinde was a little disappointed. He hadn't seen his niece for a long time. He also went to credit for the piece of meat in his hand, just to treat his niece well, and didn't want anyone to leave.

"Let's go."

Wei Jinde shook his head and walked into the yard, asked Liangqing to take the meat to wash, cook soup at noon, and asked Liangchen to take the gifts brought by Chunhua into the house. After Liangchen took the things in, he handed the purse given by his elder sister to his father.

There are three small silver beans in the purse and a few small Wanli coins.

The silver beans are about two or three cents a piece, and they are very small in their hands. The small flat coins are Wanli Tongbao, which was made by this dynasty imitated by the Jiajing Dynasty. There are two types of small flat coins. Most of the small flat coins are light backs, and occasionally there are characters on the back, and most of them are engraved with words such as "Tian", "gong", and "gong". The small flat coins are also called "two cents". The workmanship is more precise and can be used as two cents.

The silver beans and small flat money in the purse can be worth one tael of silver. The current land price is eight taels and four cents per mu of paddy fields, and three taels and three taels of thin fields. The price of wheat is seven taels per stone, and the price of rice is about six taels per stone. The overall price of grain is not high, and it is even very low. Therefore, there was a discussion in the court that rice was cheap and injured farmers.

The Wei family worked hard for a year. After deducting taxes, the harvest was mostly worth six or seven taels of silver. However, most of the harvest could not be sold for money, so they had to be kept at home for food, otherwise the three of them would have to go hungry.

Lishu Village belongs to Suning County, Hejian Prefecture. Although this area is closer to the capital, its land is relatively barren, unlike the harvest in the south. In the words of a good minister in his previous life, this place is the poverty-stricken area around the capital.

The money Wei Chunhua left to Liangchen was equivalent to the needs of Master Wei’s family for three or two months. He may not even look down on the Yang family, but obviously he was a considerable amount of money for the Wei family.

"It's hard to make spring flowers."

Wei Jinde sighed. His uncle must have heard of the situation of his niece in the Yang family. With just this little private money, I don’t know how long it took Chunhua to accumulate it. After thinking about it, he still took the money. After all, he owed a lot of money to treat Liangchen’s injuries. Some relatives can take it down, and the neighbors can pay it back.

Liangchen did not have the idea of ​​greed for this money. He went back to the house for a while, and suddenly he was anxious and rushed to the cottage. He found that there was no toilet paper. He secretly glanced out and gritted his teeth to tear a few of the broken enlightenment book "Hundred Family Surnames". After he came back, Liangchen was really guilty and blushed, because once his father saw this, he might get angry again.

In fact, there was toilet paper in the Ming Dynasty now. The toilet paper used by the people was generally called coarse paper. Like dark paper, they were made of grass as raw materials, and there must not be any words on it.

Since ancient times, respecting and cherishing the words has been a tradition of Chinese people. Anyone who uses words to wipe the filth will be stabbed by someone.

Last year, Liangchen heard in the county that a woman wiped the dirty paper with words and threw it into the toilet bucket, but was hit by lightning. After hearing about this, Hejian Mansion hurriedly ordered the paper shops in the mansion to stamp the font sizes and stamp the edges of the paper such as straw paper, and it was not allowed to renovate the old books and accounts of waste books to avoid being dirty. The Wei family's thatched cottage did not have toilet paper, but the reason was that Wei Jinde was reluctant to use it. It cost money to wipe his butt, which was too expensive.

It doesn't matter if it was a good minister in the past, but now he would not be able to bear the retribution. He would definitely not believe it. What he is thinking about now is how to persuade his father to go to the town to buy some toilet paper. Otherwise, it would be a big deal to wipe his butt with hay every day.

Liangqing's cooking skills are not good, but after all, it's a broth of broth. Even if there is no seasoning, he sprinkled some salted flowers, which tastes delicious. After lunch, Wei Jinde couldn't stop and felt so nervous that he went to another piece of land to weed, and Liangqing also went to chop wood.

When Wei Jinde left, he repeatedly told Liangchen not to run around and stay at home honestly, but Liangchen could not stay there. As soon as his father and elder brother left, he slipped out, but went to the society to study.

Liangchen went to find Master Wu to "atonate his sins". He thought clearly that if he wanted to make a name for himself, there was no good way out except to study and take the imperial examination. Therefore, he had to go back to the society and take the provincial examination this year, and then obtain the reputation of scholars in the academic examination. This is a major event that he must accomplish.

Originally, Liangchen wanted to ask his father to plead with Master Wu for mercy, but his father was always on that field, so Liangchen decided to go by himself.

The prodigal son will never change his gold!

Liangchen thought that Master Wu would be relieved when he saw him "refreshing his heart" now, and he would definitely be relieved and reintroduce him. However, what he never expected was that Master Wu would not take his trick.

At first, Master Wu was really shocked when he saw Liangchen who suddenly knelt in front of him. When the other party explained his purpose with tears, he waved his sleeves and said coldly: "Since I said that I will never teach you Wei Liangchen in this life, I will never break my promise. Go back, my little society cannot tolerate you, Wei Liangchen, the great Buddha."

This sounded really terrible. Liang Chen did not dare to be angry, so he had to keep begging and showed his eighteen abilities to stir Master Wu to change his mind, but Master Wu was determined to take advantage of the weight and refused to accept Liang Chen again.

Liangchen is really anxious. In addition to having five people in the village as a bail for the examination, he also needs to have a scholar guarantee. Looking at the entire Lishu Village, including the three villages near Zuo, there is only one scholar Wu! This means that if Master Wu refused to guarantee him, Liangchen would not be able to be qualified for the examination.

If he can't participate in the mansion examination, he, Wei Liangchen, will always be a child!

Tongsheng has nothing to do with it. Since ancient times, which official master has been born in Tongsheng!

"Sir, it is said that a prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. Students were ignorant in the past, but now they know that they are at least good. Please give the students a chance!" The good minister looked at Master Wu pitifully, and was really eager to see him.

"Will the prodigal son change his gold?"

Master Wu was stunned and stared at Liangchen.

Seeing this, the good minister couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that he had touched Master Wu. However, he didn't know that "the prodigal son turned back and didn't change gold" was not a poem by the ancients, but a novel by Zhang Henshui, a writer in his previous life. Now this famous quote that has not yet been published came from him, Master Wu was naturally surprised.

However, it was just a surprise. Master Wu did not think that the good minister had such ability to do such good things, and most of them were wandering around outside. When he thought of the good ministers in the past, Master Wu was angry and stood up and drove the good minister out. He really didn't have the patience to talk to the unbearable students, and even had a great disgust towards the student. He looked at it more and hated him very much.

"Students know that they are wrong, students really know that they are wrong, students have stopped. Sir, please give the students a chance... If students pass the exam, they will definitely not forget the great kindness of the teacher... Alas, don't close the door..."

With a "bang", the wooden door was covered heavily, and the good minister swallowed it back with a sentence of "Don't say it's not to be correct."

Next door, the sound of reading aloud "The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast" came. Several schoolchildren were lying on the window of a classroom, watching Liangchen whispering, perhaps it was Liangchen's "maintaining power" in the past. When the schoolchildren saw Liangchen found them, they were so scared that they immediately retreated, fearing that Liangchen would see them.

I don’t want to, I am also a “school master”, and the good minister laughed at himself.

Master Wu couldn't pour oil in here, but he was so worried.

Humph, a living person can still suffocate his urine. Without you, Master Wu, there will be no scholar Zhang!

Liangchen was really dissatisfied. He had decided to embark on the road of imperial examinations and would definitely not look back because it was related to his life.

Just as he was thinking about how to solve the problem of scholars as a security guard, a woman's disdainful voice came from his ears: "What is the prodigal son going back and not changing gold? I see, the prodigal son looking back and thinking beautifully."
