Nongmen Merchant Girl

Chapter 36: Private School (2)
"What outsider? That's your sister-in-law's fourth younger sister. Hey, I made my in-laws laugh at me." She apologized to Xu's mother in embarrassment.

Tian Qingshui greeted Xu Ru and went to the back room.

"Well, what's going on, isn't that child Qing Shui quite obedient?" Mother Xu asked with concern.

"Hey, I don't know exactly what's going on. The young master of the Liu family came to the door and said that he was not allowed to go to private school anymore. That child is very stubborn. He only wants to take the scientific examination. I don't know why in the past two years. Then The young master of the Liu family always has trouble with him, and he won't say the specific reason, he's really worried to death."

Several people were confused when they heard what she said, but fortunately, Qing Shui didn't suffer any serious injuries after fighting with others many times, so Granny Jinhua only said a few words about him. Very supportive of him continuing to study.

"Fortunately, he doesn't have to go to private school now, he just needs to prepare for the exam at home. No, this morning he said he would go to the master to borrow two books, but who knows he got into a fight again."

Tian Qingshui didn't come out of the house until lunch time. He changed into a gray long gown, his hair was wrapped in a cloth turban, he looked refined, his skin was fairer, and his appearance was delicate. He really had a scholarly temperament.

Tian Qinghe and the others didn't come back to eat at lunch, perhaps because there was too much work in the field.What I ate was millet porridge and steamed buns, stir-fried shredded potatoes and pickles.

"Second brother, where are you studying?" At the dinner table, Xu Ru looked at the brother-in-law curiously. It turned out that this is an ancient scholar. Reading is not easy.

Tian Qingshui heard her call his second brother crisply, although he was depressed, he still responded with a smile,

"Well, it's in the Oxycarpus Hall in the county."

"Hehe, does the private school accept female students?" She was rather curious about this question, wondering what the private school system looks like here, whether it will favor boys over girls, and only men.

As soon as she asked, Tian Qingshui looked up at her, thinking she was going to a private school.

"It's a collection, but you are a bit old now."

Xu Ru didn't explain anything, she smiled and told him a lot about the private school, and she thought about letting A Bao go to the private school after a few years.

"Mom, I'm going to deliver food to Dad and the others." Tian Qingshui finished his meal quickly, and left with a basket.

"This child. Hey, everything is fine, but I don't like to say it. It's really worrying." Grandma Jinhua said with a sigh.

"When the child grows up, he will have his own thoughts. I think Qingshui is also a sensible person." Xu's mother comforted.

"Mother-in-law, Jinhua will trouble you a little bit. I'm going to give birth soon, and I can't do heavy work anymore. You must come and let me know when the baby is born." Xu's mother took Granny Jinhua's hand and explained in a rambling manner. After waiting for a long time, I finally left reluctantly.

on the way home.

"Mother, I heard that the second elder brother of the Tian family is a scholar, so we can also let Ah Bao study."

"Hey, there is no private school in the village. If you want to go to school, you have to go to the county. That's not something ordinary people can afford."

Only then did I learn that there are two schools in the county, one is Muxitang and the other is Fangzhitang.

Muxitang is a place where ordinary children study, and Fang Zhitang is a place where children from rich and powerful families study.You can also live in the school, but it costs about one tael per month for food and lodging, and about 30 taels for a year plus Shuxiu.

If Fang Zhitang is more expensive.Ordinary families spend less than ten taels of silver a year.And not everyone can get in, you need someone to recommend you to go to school.

But no matter how you say it, Abao is the only boy in the family, and it is necessary to study, so she plans to ask someone to send Abao to the county to go to a private school after the new year.
