Chapter 34: Knowledge is expensive these days
Chapter 34 Knowledge is very expensive these days
Shen Nanwei rolled her eyes in an ungraceful way: "Your mother and I are not bored at home."
There are many new things in the village, and she is very happy to hear them every day.
"You mean you want me to teach you how to read?" Shen Nanwei accepted the enlightenment book and paper with a smile, and when she looked at the brush, she was cut off by Jiang Tanyue just as she was about to say something, "The cheapest one is also the inkstone .”
Just this accounted for most of their expenses.
In this day and age, knowledge is really expensive.
Learning is something that requires a lot of cost.
Although papermaking technology already existed in this period, movable type printing had not yet come out, and the price of books remained high. At this time, copying books for others became a way for poor students to make money.
Many books that cannot be afforded are also borrowed from classmates, and returned after copying.
After all, it is not easy to support a scholar in a farm family. Sometimes it takes all the family's wealth and tightening the waist to hold on.
I only hope that one person will become enlightened and ascend to heaven.
Don't talk about being a high-ranking official, if any family produces a scholar, it will be the glory of the ancestors.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Huxi Village. The fields cultivated by the villagers of Huxi Village are fertile, and there are still more than a dozen families with two extra money in their hands.
But there are not many scholars.
The reason is that their thinking only stays at the stage of food and clothing.
Envious of scholars, but did not expect to raise a scholar at home.
Half-children who can run and jump are the labor force. If they are sent to study, they will not only be unable to work in the fields, but will also have to spend money on support, pens, ink, paper and inkstone repairs, dry food, and the cost of interacting with people...
It's better to work at home.
Then marry a wife and have children, carry on the family line, and complete the mission of life.
The villagers are ignorant and short-sighted, making such a decision is expected.
Huxi Village also sent their sons to Kaimeng, and there were several families who supported them along the way, including Lao Jiang's family.
That is Jiang Jinxu, the youngest son of Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Caier's twin brother.
Fourteen years old, I just took the county examination in February this year and was admitted.
During that time, Mrs. Jiang almost walked sideways like a crab. Everyone praised her son, who was smart, clever and well-behaved. The first time she crawled out of her stomach, she decided that this son was a student. The material of a high official.
After nagging like this for two months, the ears of those who listened were calloused.
But they have to flatter and smile on the face. After all, everyone can see that Jiang Jinxu is really good at studying. If the future is prosperous, they will still count on the help of Old Jiang's family.
Unfortunately, what overshadowed this happy event was the funeral of the youngest of the Jiang family, Jiang Darong, who was also their cheap father.
Don't look at Mrs. Jiang crying and yelling the name of Jiang Boss every time she has a dispute with them. She didn't shed a single tear.
According to the gossip of the villagers who witnessed it at close range, Old Mrs. Jiang’s eyes would like to pop out. If she didn’t know that Mr. Jiang would never agree, she would have found someone to throw him in a mass grave on the spot.
Province’s family has to pay for the coffin.
The original three mothers were too sad, and maybe they didn’t understand the reason until they died—they could accept that their family was not treated well, but Jiang Darong is the biological son of the Jiang family, so it’s okay if he is not treated normally, and he will be looked down upon if he dies ? ?
They didn't understand, but Shen Nanwei, a gossip expert, had figured things out.
