Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

But fortunately, this can barely be considered a "comrade-in-arms" relationship. I am indeed short of manpower, so I hired these guys for Xiao Bai's sake.

Compared with the newly bought boy, Xiaobai is familiar with these people after all.

Apart from these things, the final step was to sell the house and fields. Although they didn't have a few taels of silver, they couldn't go there cheaply for Su Da and Su Er.

Originally, the two and a half acres of land owned by Su San's family was leased to Qingniu. Now that Qingniu's family was not short of money, Yu simply came to ask Mr. Niu if he wanted to buy it directly.

If the Niu family doesn't buy it, Yu wants to find another buyer. After hearing what she said, Mr. Niu paid eight taels of silver to buy the Su family's land on the spot.

In fact, two and a half acres of field were worth eleven taels of silver, but Su Mulan confessed that if the Niu family bought it, they would only sell it for eight taels. Mrs. Yu didn't dare to disobey. Since Master Niu was willing, she had no choice but to ask for eight taels of silver.

However, the old house of Su San's family is not easy to sell. Most people in the village have houses, so who will buy a shabby yard?

In the end, Mrs. Li Zheng was shrewd. When she heard that Mrs. Yu was selling her house, she said she wanted to use it to grow vegetables and bought it for two taels of silver.

Although two taels of silver is not much, it still counts as Madam Zheng secretly selling Su Mulan a good deal.

The house and land received a total of ten taels of silver. It took Yu two days to finish it, and he happily went to Su Mulan to hand over the money.

Nowadays, Su Mulan is a little rich woman. She doesn't care about the ten taels of silver, so she lets Yu keep it by herself.

Yu Shiben was a little excited, thinking that Su Mulan was finally willing to forgive her, her own mother. When he turned around, he quietly gave the ten taels of silver to Su Xiaobai.

Su Xiaobai never hid anything from his eldest sister and told her quietly.

Su Mulan just nodded, indicating that she understood. Since Mrs. Yu is willing to give it to Xiaobai, there is no need for her to be fussy.

However, Su Xiaobai suddenly proposed to visit his mentor, Old Master Yang. The younger brother is affectionate and righteous, so Su Mulan naturally encourages him.

Although Su Da and Su Er came to cause this scene, the reason was because this old guy was bragging for Xiao Bai. But this is also human nature. If a student is successful, the teacher will certainly be honored.

Su Xiaobai also had money on hand, and thinking that he might rarely see this monk again in the future, he bought two taels of silver and gave it as a heavy gift.

Old Master Yang was moved to tears by Xiaobai.

Over the years, although he is just an old boy, he has also taught dozens of children in the village.

However, most students just know a few words and don't come here. Xiaobai is still the first to take the test.

What's even more commendable is that Xiaobai didn't forget him as his master, and came to visit him with a heavy gift. other people? Just don’t mention it.

Are gifts important? important!

But what’s more important is this love!

How many people have become rich and want to stay away from those who helped them when they were down?

Old Master Yang was really moved. He pulled Su Xiaobai and kept silently asking about the situation in the county school and the experience of participating in the county and government examinations.

Su Xiaobai and he were both children now, but she didn't mind that the old man wouldn't be of any help to her in the future. She answered all questions and answered them carefully without any impatience.

The master and apprentice chatted for more than an hour before the old master calmed down. He said with great relief that teaching Su Xiaobai was the only thing he was proud of in his life.

Seeing that the old master was alone, poor and old, Su Xiaobai couldn't bear it, so he invited him to Anlan County.

The old master's mood gradually calmed down, but he was moved to tears by the little guy, but he resolutely rejected his kindness.

It’s hard to leave your homeland!

Old Master Yang said that he had no offspring. When he was young, the whole family lived frugally in order to support him in obtaining academic status, and put all their hopes on him alone.

However, he was never able to pass the hospital examination. What is even more tragic is that his parents were overworked and died early. A biological sister was married but died in childbirth.

Old Master Yang was obsessed with continuing the scientific examination and did not marry a wife. It wasn't until he was in his thirties that he still failed to pass the examination as a scholar, so he gave up.

When I woke up from the dream, my family was gone.

Because he was focused on his career before, he didn't know how to take care of the family fields. It can be said that he didn't distinguish between grains and grains. I wanted to rely on literacy to work in the county, but I encountered obstacles everywhere.

Jobs such as accounting require specialized knowledge, not just literacy. It is even more difficult to open schools because there are so many children in the county.

Why don't people go to the schools opened by scholars?

It was only then that Old Master Yang discovered that he had memorized the words of saints, but he couldn't even get a full meal!

Bai Wuyi is a scholar!

Old Master Yang couldn't do manual labor anymore, so he had no choice but to go back to the village to teach Meng Tong to make ends meet. It’s just that the villagers can’t afford it if they only let their children learn a few words.

Although Shuxiu is not expensive, it is really beyond the ability of the villagers to support a scholar. That is, a few wealthy households like Yang Lizheng can barely do it.

Therefore, Su Xiaobai, a little boy, became Master Yang's only proud disciple for so many years.

After hearing that Su Xiaobai said that he wanted to move his family to Anlan, Old Master Yang said that he had a classmate back then who is now in Anlan.

Old Master Yang asked Xiao Bai to wait while he wrote the letter, enveloped it and gave it to Xiao Bai. Make it clear that if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to the person at the address on the letter for help.

Su Mulan saw that Xiaobai was still not coming back, so she sent Ye Yu to look for him, and the master and apprentice reluctantly parted ways.

Su Xiaobai returned home and told Su Mulan about Old Master Yang.

However, besides sighing, what can Su Mulan do?

The imperial examination was far more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations. Not to mention that Old Master Yang didn't even pass the exam. Even if he did, passing the exam was the most difficult thing.

However, this is the only way up for the people at the bottom. There are only so many frustrated people like Old Master Yang in the world.

Two days later, everyone packed up and packed two ox carts to go to the county.

Just after returning home to the county town, Ye Bing first came to see Su Mulan and said that two waves of people had sent letters.

Su Mulan opened Xie Chengan's letter first, and it turned out that Anlan was appointed magistrate of the county and was about to take office. Xie Chengan actually listened to her words and sent someone to investigate An Lan.

However, I don't know whether it was because the people sent there were incompetent, or because An Lan was not in any serious danger, but there was nothing unusual at all.

In the letter, Xie Chengan also said that he had invited two masters. His mentor, his master, and his close friends in the same year also really recommended his followers, calligraphers, mathematicians, etc. to him.

As expected, Mr. Xie arranged for four brave servants to protect Xie Chengan personally.

But he mentioned these casually. The key is that Xie Chengan invited Jiang Ruiyan to help, and he agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Ruiyan was not good at practice and was destined to be unable to serve as an official. Therefore, although he also studied the imperial examination classics, he focused on curtain studies.

It wasn't that he wanted to be someone's staff, but that Jiang hired relevant teachers for him out of consideration for letting him inherit the shop in the future.

Su Mulan opened another letter and found that it was written by Liu Yurou!
