The fourth girl of the farmer

Chapter 240
"That's fine!" A businessman really has the mind of a businessman, Xu Jiaquan took a look at Yang Ziqian, why didn't he expect to be so thoughtful.

The next day, Xu Jiaquan and A Sheng; Yang Zisen and A Hai; Yang Zilin and Yang Ziqian came back from investigations in three different ways. The result of the summary of the information on the lunch table was: the best college was Zhoushan Academy, which was personally checked by the retired old Hanlin. What's more, they only pay attention to character and knowledge, regardless of high or low.

"So, both of us can give it a try?" Xu Jiaquan said to Yang Zisen.

"Go in the afternoon?" Yang Zisen felt that he was somewhat sure.

"Okay, then I wish you all success!" Yang Ziqian raised the tea bowl in his hand and wished with tea instead of wine.

"Thank you!" Xu Jiaquan nodded with a smile.

"No problem!" Yang Zisen was full of confidence.

It is said that a confident person has a great chance of winning!
Sure enough, Xu Jiaquan and Yang Zisen lived up to their expectations and successfully brought back good news.

"The academy also has accommodation, but it's very expensive, and the rules are strict, and you can't bring schoolboys!" The two were told that they could enroll immediately, but such accommodation conditions were obviously not suitable for them.It is impossible for Ah Hai and Ah Sheng to let them fly solo.After much deliberation, Xu Jiaquan decided to stay in the hotel.

"The inn is full of fish and dragons, and it's not suitable for reading!" Why the academy has strict rules and regulations, it's because it's a place for reading, not for enjoying, and the old Hanlin's meaning is explained by not bringing a book boy.Yang Ziqian objected to staying in the inn.

"Then we?" Yang Zisen thought, if he doesn't live in the academy, he doesn't live in the hotel, so he can't buy a house!This prefecture city is no better than Li's Village, you can buy it if you say it, it's a place where every inch of land is expensive, just looking at the cost of staying for one night last night is more than the sum of the previous few days.

"How about finding someone near the academy and renting a small courtyard!" If you can't afford it, you can afford it.Renting a small yard with a single family, Ah Hai, a poor child, can cook, and he can buy vegetables to improve the food for the two of them when he is free. Moreover, the cost is definitely much cheaper than staying in a hotel.

Money is easy to do, so Xu Jiaquan quickly found a good inn near the college, and the master and servant settled down.Anyway, the old man said that the wallet is enough, and these expenses are also in his budget.

On the other hand, the brothers and sisters of the Yang family and Ah Hai wandered around to inquire, after comparison, they chose a small private courtyard two streets away from the academy, which was clean and sunny.The monthly rent is ten taels of silver, which is cheaper than staying in an inn. The key is that there are three rooms, a kitchen room and a washing room, and the courtyard door is closed. It is a good place for further study.

The landlord is a middle-aged woman surnamed Xu, a widow living with her daughter.

"Girl, to tell you the truth, this is where our mother and daughter live. Alas, seeing that the child is growing up, we can only make ends meet by doing some handicrafts. If we want to go out, we have to save some money. So we moved next door and rented a house." Good neighbors share a house, and rent out their small courtyard to make a little difference." The simple and honest Xu said helplessly.

"Mom, I told you that I don't need it. When the time comes, I'll find a suitable spouse. If not, I won't marry. Anyway, I won't leave you." A fifteen-year-old girl said stubbornly.He was also somewhat displeased with renting out the house to the person in front of him.Living under the eaves of others, there are always some inconveniences.

"Okay, how can a girl talk nonsense and listen to her mother's arrangement, not to mention that it is rented to this girl's elder brother to study, and the gentleman lives, and there is no such mess. We will move back when they can't pass high school. It’s fine if you don’t.” Xu blamed her daughter for leaking her dissatisfaction in front of the tenant.

"Don't worry, girl. We won't change the layout of the house when we move in temporarily. When the lease expires, we will definitely return it intact." Yang Ziqian saw that the girl was not the kind of vulgar person who was bored in her heart. Looking at her Not happy, explained with a smile.

"I'm sorry!" Some explanations made her blush, and the girl apologized to Yang Ziqian shyly.

Yang Ziqian smiled to indicate that he didn't care.The two sides negotiated friendly, signed the contract, and handed over the keys.

"This place is good, but Ah Hai remembers to pick up and drop off the third son to the academy on time every day." It was a bit off, and Yang Ziqian felt relieved to have Ah Hai pick him up and send him off with a little kung fu. "When we leave, we'll turn this room into a study, where the third brother will study and practice calligraphy."

"Well, tomorrow I'll go buy some wood and make him a desk." It is said that having money is worse than having a skill. Yang Zilin never leaves his profession. He brought his own tools with him, but it just took some time.He can bear any kind of suffering, and he expresses it immediately.

"That's good." The purchase is definitely not as good as the second brother's. Yang Ziqian decided to stay in Fucheng for a while, first to find out some economic customs here, and the development of the Yang family has to be done step by step. Fucheng may also have related industries; secondly, he plans to teach Ah Hai some cooking skills. After he leaves, Ah Hai will be responsible for taking care of Yang Zisen's daily life.A good body is the foundation of hard work. In this ancient scientific examination, a layer of skin had to be peeled off before entering the examination room. Yang Zisen's solid foundation had to be laid well from usual.

Yang Zisen, who doesn't hear anything outside the window and only reads sage books, sees his brothers and sisters worrying about him, and secretly vows in his heart that he must study hard and never disappoint their expectations.

The next day, Ah Hai sent Yang Zisen to the college, and went to the timber market with Yang Zilin to buy furniture materials, and asked someone to send them over.

"Mother, didn't she say that she didn't want to change the layout? Why do I see someone sending wood to the yard?" In front of the door next door, the anxious girl went back to the house and told Xu.

"Zhu'er, mother accepted her money, and you also read in the contract that the layout of the house is in good condition when you hand over the house. Now, don't worry about people buying wood and so on." Xu rubbed his forehead, worrying too much about his daughter have no choice.The child of the poor has long been in charge of the family. Since her father passed away, this child has become half of the family, worrying about everything.The innocence of girls has long since disappeared.

"Who knows?" Zhu'er murmured in a low voice. In that house, every plant and every tree was the layout of her father when she was alive. Seeing things and thinking about people has really been changed. Who to turn to.

"Excuse me, girl, who are you looking for?" Yang Zilin looked at his masterpiece and sighed inwardly as he chopped it down with an axe. If the powerful Luo Huwang and the others were around, he wouldn't need to do these clumsy tasks by himself. Let's do it.When I looked up, I saw a young girl walking back and forth at the door. It seemed that I had walked several times, but I didn't have the courage to step in.Perhaps, it was a relative of the original owner.

"Oh, that, I'm not looking for anyone." Zhu'er was depressed. It was her own house, but it was rented out to others, and she had to ask for permission to enter. "Well, are you the carpenter hired by this family?" Looking at a young man chopping wood with an axe, he thought it was the elder brother of the girl who rented the house, but then he thought, that is a scholar who went to the academy, and he is holding a pen, isn't it? The carpenter who was wielding an ax and a big knife boldly asked.
