Chapter 216 The one next to him is the prime minister of the two dynasties of the Yan Kingdom
A school without these things must be boring. Lin Wang suddenly lost most of his interest in going to school.
At the dinner table that day, the elder Lin unilaterally announced that he would send Lin Wang to the Mingsheng School in the town to study.
Mr. Zhang from Mingsheng Academy is the most famous old scholar in Woqian Town. He has taught two juren, and both of them are officials in other places.
The Lin clan always believed that if Lin Wang was sent, he would definitely be able to pass the exam with the talent of Lin Wang's cleverness, to honor his ancestors, and to become a master with his whole family.
As soon as these words came out, except for Lin Wang's parents, who were overjoyed, all the other rooms were stunned.
Lin Hu, the third son of the elder Lin clan, said even more dissatisfiedly: "Father, Lei Zi and Wang Zi are the same age, so they should go to the academy too!"
It is hard enough for the whole family to support one child to go to school. If there is another one, how can the old Lin family agree.
The old man of the Lin family sank his eyes, "Leizi is silent all day long, just like the elm wood knot, it is not suitable for reading at all, and it is a waste of money to go."
Lin Hu clenched his fists at the bottom of the table, and he was eccentric, and he also said that his son was not a student, and he had never read it. How could he know that his son was not a student.
The second room also has two sons. Now they can help the family with their work. They go to school a little late, but it’s not impossible to go to school.
Hearing that the third room hit the wall, the old father had a cold face that couldn't help but hold back what he wanted to say.
Lin Wang raised his chin proudly, even though he didn't really want to get up early every day to go to school in town, he still enjoyed the other children in the family, and cast envious eyes at him.
After dinner, the daughters-in-law were busy cleaning up their dishes before returning to their rooms.
After closing the door, Lin Hu's wife Jin Xiuxiu immediately complained dissatisfiedly, "Why can't our Leizi go to school? Leizi hasn't said a word to write and draw on the ground these two days, and the children in the next village taught him a few big characters. How is it worse than the oil bottle in the big room!"
The family has not been separated for a day, and the old Lin family is a one-of-a-kind existence in this family.
No one could resist, Lin Hu also fought for his own children, but what can he do, he could only sigh helplessly: "Who makes Leizi not as eloquent as Wangzi, to please father."
Jin Xiuxiu asked tentatively: "Brother Huzi, what do you think will happen when we split up?"
Lin Hu was not angry, but cast a rolling eye at her, "Dream, how could my father split up!" Unless he died.
In the ancient farming society, sons were the labor force of the family, and they were also the targets of constant exploitation.
If these sons are separated, they will not be exploited, and the voice of the elder Lin will be greatly reduced.
He would never allow any son to escape his control.
Jin Xiuxiu was very sorry, "Hey, it would be nice if our son could go to school too."
Lin Hu was also very depressed, he blew out the oil lamp: "Go to sleep."
On the second day, the boss of the Lin clan made a big splash, lest others not know about it, and hired an ox cart to take Lin Wang to the town to sign up.
According to the good news from the government, the Yan Kingdom is now left with the imperial city and a defended city that has yet to be won.
If it wasn't for the safety of the people, the King of Chu asked the army not to forcefully break the city, or else the kingdom of Yan would have been captured long ago.
When the literati heard the news, they were all excited. If the two countries were unified, the restoration of the imperial examinations would be just around the corner.
What are you doing if you don’t study hard now!
So, the two schools in the town that had been silent for a long time suddenly exploded.
Especially in the Mingsheng Academy of Zhang Laoxiucai, everyone wanted to enter.
The old Lin family heard everyone's comments and was even more eager to send their grandson to Mingsheng Academy.
He did everything possible to find a relationship and gave the doorman in charge of registration a tael of silver before jumping in the queue to sign up.
After paying six dollars for the repair fee, Lin Wang was forced to consume paper, pen, inkstone, books, etc. immediately after he became a student of Mingsheng Academy.
If you don’t buy it, you have to give your spot to someone else.
Patriarch Lin thought of Mr. Zhang's ability, stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and bought it with a heart.
I didn't think so, all these things together cost five or two eight dollars of silver!
The Lin family knew that sending Lin Wang to school would cost a lot of money, but they didn’t expect to spend so much money in one go.
It is more than several times higher than the cost of Qinghe Academy. He wants to return these things and let Lin Wang enter Qinghe Academy, but he can't save face.
He looked at Lin Wang's face now, and it looked like it was made of gold, and he urged again, "You must study hard, get ahead, and honor your grandfather, don't you know! Grandpa's coffin is all for you to go to school!"
Lin Wang just came here, he is very new to everything around him, patted his chest and assured, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely stand out! I will be the first to honor you!"
Lin people have heard it for a long time, and it is called ironing in their hearts, and they feel that the money is really worthless.
When he got home, Lin Wang and his friends showed off loudly how good the town is. Every day, he can see a lot of delicious food and fun, and he can also see Xiu Cai Gong in the academy.
After bragging for days, my mouth was blistering.
Now everyone knows that as soon as he went to the town to sign up, he spent several taels of silver, and while the kitten's limelight was severely suppressed, the other two rooms in the Lin family's old home became more and more dissatisfied.
It’s really like money comes from a strong wind. In previous years, the harvest was not good. Everyone had no money in their hands, and Lin Hu couldn’t get any work. It’s not bad that everyone in this family can save half a tael of silver a year.
Lin Wang spent several taels of silver just after going to school, so he will spend more money in the future.
Lin Hu glanced at his son who was writing and drawing on the ground outside the door, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
His father is really a jerk.
Everyone praised that Lin Wang would definitely be more promising than Kitten in the future, when the old Lin clan was secretly proud.
Youjia Village suddenly had another big movement.
Dozens of carriages lined up in a long queue, driving in a mighty manner, stopped at the entrance of Youjia Village.
The person who has a carriage at home can be an ordinary person!
Besides, they were all brightly dressed.
The people of Lintian Village went to watch the fun. I immediately learned that these people are all here to study.
The purpose of is to enter Qinghe College and become a student under the name of Yang Quanzi.
The villagers of Lintian Village were all stunned. Isn't Yang Quanzi a fat old man from the next village who often wears a beard and laughs like a fat fox.
They continued to perk up their ears and continued to listen, and all of a sudden, they were shocked.
The fat old man who doesn't look very conspicuous is actually a very famous gentleman!
And Qinghe College was a famous college before!
When these people got the news of Qinghe College's re-enrollment, they came all the way right away.
The man headed by the team seems to be the eldest son of the county magistrate. Not only does he want to come here to study, but he also brings his two sons to study together.
Lin Clan's old brain was buzzing, as if he had missed a hundred million all of a sudden.
The county magistrate's son has to come here to go to school all the way, how could this Qinghe Academy be worse than the Mingsheng Academy in town.
The Lin clan always thought this was unexpected, but they didn't think so, and heard a man next to him reminding his companion in a low voice: "The man next to Yang Daru is Cui Shize, the prime minister of the two dynasties of the Yan Kingdom."
