Chapter 4 I am also a "scholar" (ask for collection)
"I also listened to what the uncles of my family said, whether it was true or not, I didn't dare to ask my father."
Wei Liangqing didn't want to say this anymore, he was worried that his younger brother would hurt his leg if he stood outside for a long time, so he pulled his younger brother into the yard, but his father Wei Jinde came back from the field.
"Where's your eldest sister?"
Wei Jinde rolled his trouser legs and carried a piece of pork belly with a straw rope in his hand. It seems that he went to buy a piece of meat on purpose. Liangchen estimated that most of the meat was owed back by his father, because as far as he knew, his father owed a lot of money in order to treat his injuries.
Wei Liangqing said: "Let's go, the eldest brother-in-law said that there is still something at home, so I will go back first." He didn't dare to mention the attitude of his eldest brother-in-law Yang Liuqi just now, for fear that his father would be annoyed when he heard it.
"Oh, gone?"
Wei Jinde was a little disappointed, he hadn't seen his niece for a long time, and the piece of meat in his hand was also deliberately credited, in order to entertain his niece well, and he didn't want to be gone.
"Let's go."
Wei Jinde shook his head and walked into the courtyard, asked Liangqing to take the meat to wash, cook soup at noon, and asked Liangchen to collect the gifts brought by Chunhua into the house. After Liangchen brought the things in, he handed the purse given by the eldest sister to his father.
In the purse are three small silver beans, as well as a few Wanli small flat coins.
Silver beans are about two or three dollars a piece, and they are very small in your hand. Xiaoping money is Wanli Tongbao, which is made by the imitation of the Jiajing Dynasty in this dynasty, and there are two kinds of Xiaoping and folding. Xiaoping money is mostly barebacked, and occasionally there are words on the back, and many are engraved with words such as "day", "gong", "work" and so on. Folding money, also known as folding two money, is more precise in workmanship, and can be used as two coins.
The silver beans and small flat money in the purse can be worth one or two silver, and the current land price is eight taels or four dollars per mu of high-grade paddy fields, and three taels or three dollars for thin fields. The price of wheat is about six dollars and four dollars per stone, and the price of rice is about six dollars and five dollars per stone. The overall price of grain is not high, and even very low, so there are sometimes discussions in the imperial court that rice is cheap and hurts farmers.
The Wei family has worked hard for a year, and the harvest is worth about six or seven taels of silver after deducting taxes, but most of this harvest cannot be sold for money, so it has to be kept at home to eat, otherwise the three of them will be hungry.
Lishu Village belongs to Suning County, Hejian Province, although this area is closer to Jingshi, but the land is relatively barren, not as high as the harvest in the south. In the words of Liangchen's previous life, this is the Gyeonggi Poverty Belt.
The money that Wei Chunhua left to Liangchen is equivalent to the Wei family's living needs for three or two months, and he may not look down on the Yang family, but it is obviously a lot of money for the Wei family.
"It's hard to be a spring flower."
Wei Jinde sighed, his uncle must have heard about his niece's situation in the Yang family. With this bit of private money, I don't know how long it took Chunhua to accumulate. After thinking about it, he still accepted the money, after all, he owed a lot of money for the treatment of Liangchen's injuries, and some relatives could slow it down, and the neighbors could pay it back.
Liangchen didn't have the idea of greedy for this money, went back to the house for a while, suddenly had a hurry, hurriedly went to the thatched house, found that there was no paper, secretly glanced out, and tore a few copies of the badly turned enlightenment book "Hundred Family Names" with a gritted tooth. After coming back, Liangchen was really a thief, and his face was red, because once his father saw this, I am afraid that most of them would be angry again.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty now has hand paper, and the hand paper used by the people is generally called coarse paper, which is made of grass as raw material like the dark paper, and there must be no words on it.
Since ancient times, it has been a tradition of the Chinese to cherish the written paper, and whoever uses the written paper to wipe the filth will be poked in the backbone.
Last year, Liangchen heard in the county that a woman wiped her filth with a written paper and threw it into a commode, only to be struck by lightning and fell to her knees. After hearing about this, Hejian Mansion hurriedly ordered all paper shops in the mansion to stamp the edge of straw paper and other items with font stamps, and it was not allowed to transform waste books and old accounts into hand paper to avoid desecration. The Wei family's thatched house did not have toilet paper, the reason was just that Wei Jinde was reluctant to use it. It costs money to wipe your ass, which is too loser.
It doesn't matter if you are a good minister in the past, but how can a good minister suffer that sin now? Retribution, he must not believe it, what he is thinking about now is how to persuade his father to go to the town to buy some handsome paper and come back. Otherwise, wiping your buttocks with hay every day is really a sin.
Liangqing's cooking skills are not good, but after all, it is a roasted broth, even if there is no seasoning, he sprinkled a little salt and flower seeds, and it tastes fragrant. After lunch, Wei Jinde couldn't stay idle, and he was in a panic, so he went to hoe grass in another field, and Liangqing also went to chop wood.
When Wei Jinde left, he repeatedly told Liangchen not to run away blindly and stay at home honestly, but Liangchen couldn't stay. As soon as his father and eldest brother left, he slipped out, but he went to social studies.
Liangchen went to Wu Fuzi to "atone for his sins", and he thought clearly that if he wanted to get ahead, there was really no good way out except for studying and taking the imperial examination. Therefore, it is a major thing for him to go back to social studies, to take the prefectural examination this year, and then to obtain fame in the academy examination.
Originally, Liangchen wanted to ask his father to come out and plead with Wu Fuzi, but his father's mind was on that field, so Liangchen decided to go by himself.
The prodigal son does not change his money!
Liangchen thought that Wu Fuzi would definitely be relieved to see that he was now "reforming his mind" and re-admitting him. However, what he never expected was that Wu Fuzi would not eat him.
At first, Wu Fuzi was really startled when he saw the good minister who suddenly knelt in front of him, and when the other party explained his intention with tears, he waved his sleeves and said coldly: "Since I said that I will no longer teach you Wei Liangchen in this life, I will never break my word and fatten myself." Go back, my little social school can't accommodate you, Wei Liangchen, the big Buddha. ”
These words sounded really ear-piercing, and the good ministers didn't dare to be angry, so they had to keep begging, and took out eighteen kinds of skills to coax Wu Fuzi to change his mind, but Wu Fuzi was too strong to eat the scales, and he refused to accept the good ministers again.
Liangchen is really anxious, in addition to having five people in the village to participate in the government examination, there must also be a Xiucai guarantee, and looking at the entire Lishu Village, including the three villages on the left, Xiucai is only one Wu Fuzi! This means that if Wu Fuzi refuses to vouch for him, it is impossible for Liangchen to be qualified for the government examination.
If he can't participate in the government exam, he Wei Liangchen will always be a child in his life!
Tongsheng has a fart, since ancient times, which official master is born in Tongsheng!
"Sir, they all say that the prodigal son does not change his money, and the student used to be ignorant, but now that he knows that it is bad, please give the student a chance!" Liangchen looked at Wu Fuzi pitifully, and he was really looking forward to it.
"The prodigal son will not change his money?"
Wu Fuzi was stunned for a moment, and stared straight at Liangchen.
Seeing this, Liangchen couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that he had impressed Master Wu. He didn't know that "The Prodigal Son Turns Back and Doesn't Change His Money" is not a poem of the ancients, but a novel by the writer Zhang Hatshui in his previous life. Now that this famous sentence that has not yet come out of his mouth came out of his mouth, Wu Fuzi was surprised.
However, it was just a surprise, Wu Fuzi didn't think that Liangchen had the ability to do such a good sentence, most of them were heard by wandering outside. Thinking of the good ministers in the past, and thinking of the students who were bullied by the good ministers, Wu Fuzi was angry, stood up and drove the good ministers out. He really didn't have the patience to talk to this unbearable student, and he had a great dislike for this student, and he hated it when he looked at it more.
"The student knows that he is wrong, the student really knows that he is wrong, the student has reined in the precipice, sir, you should give the student a chance... If a student passes the exam, he will not forget his great kindness... Hey, don't close the door, sir..."
With a "bang", the wooden door was heavily covered, and the good minister swallowed back alive with a sentence of "don't say anything unexpectedly".
Next door, there was the sound of reading aloud with "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, the universe is desolate", and there were a few schoolchildren lying on the window of a classroom, looking at Liangchen whispering, Xu is Liangchen's former "Jiwei", and the schoolchildren saw that Liangchen found them, and they were so frightened that they immediately shrank back, lest they be seen by Liangchen.
No, I'm also a "scholar", Liangchen laughed at himself.
Wu Fuzi can't splash oil here, but he is really worried to death.
Hmph, the living can still suffocate to death with urine, without you Master Wu, there will be no Zhang Xiucai!
Liangchen was really unconvinced, he had decided to embark on the road of the imperial examination, and he would definitely not turn back, because it was related to his life.
was thinking about how to solve the problem of Xiucai's protection, and a woman's disdainful voice came from her ears: "What prodigal son doesn't change his money, I think, the prodigal son looks back and thinks beautifully." ”
