"That..." Grandma Liu was confused, what should she say? But looking at the old lady's face, it took her a long time to say her request to Ban'er to study. But immediately, "Don't worry, there is no need to give him a special position. The old lady thought that if there was a young master in the house who was enlightened, he could Can’t Ban’er be a book boy?”
Ou Mengmeng nodded. She understood that Grandma Liu's request was also a decisive one for her. When she couldn't survive the disaster year, she begged for twenty taels of silver to go back. After the New Year, the family has recovered and caught up with the good years. She came to present all kinds of fresh fruits to express her gratitude. Then when the Jia family showed goodwill again, their family improved to a higher level, and Ban'er also studied and took exams. He knew that something was wrong with the Jia family, so he spent all his family wealth to rescue Sister Qiao, and asked Qiao Sister to marry Ban'er. Son.
When they passed the disaster year, they got through the first difficulty. They had some foundation before, and they had not experienced any major disasters or difficulties. Naturally they will think about the education of future generations. If they go through a major disaster, they will not miss a good school at all.
Ou Mengmeng can understand this amiable and respectable old man, and also admires her daughter and son-in-law. Although it was Grandma Liu who showed up every time, it was Wang Gouer and his wife who finally made Grandma Liu lose all her family wealth, so this family is all good people.
"Old relatives, the price is five hundred taels a year. The Jia family charges this price just to stop those outsiders. And it only accepts twenty people a year to treat every student better. Therefore, there are no bookboys for the children who enter the school. . You need to do your own thing. Besides, reading is a matter of concentration. If you let Ban'er be a book boy, you are actually cutting off his path to study." Ou Mengmeng smiled, she is a professional teacher , I still know this.
"Yes, the old woman is too abrupt." Grandma Liu was not disappointed, but breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that this was the right thing to do.
"Also, have you ever thought about it, even if we don't accept money and let Ban'er come to study, what will happen if Ban'er really becomes a scholar six years later? Will you still have the energy to take the imperial examination and become a Jinshi? "Ou Mengmeng looked at Grandma Liu seriously. She didn't have to ask her to answer. Go on,
"We get 500 taels a year and 3,500 taels in six years. Everyone is rushing to come. Why do you think this is for? Because we can guarantee that we will give them a scholar in six years.
Collecting money itself is a kind of diversion. It is impossible for young scholars who are eleven or twelve years old to take the exams for Juren or Jinshi. So what will they do after they leave the Jia family to study?
These children from wealthy families can now travel around the world while studying, or do various other things they want to do, so that they will have a broader future.
This is also the reason why we do not accept poor students. Among our first batch of students, there was a poor student. Now he has returned to the classroom because he married a rich wife. Before, he could only find a job. And if it weren't for marriage, he would have lost his future. "
"So what does the old lady mean?" Grandma Liu didn't think that the old lady was looking for a reason to reject her. Obviously, she was explaining and telling her that it was actually unrealistic to study in Jia Family School.
"For the Jia family, we don't care about one more student, it's just five hundred taels, it's nothing. But this is not helpful to Ban'er. So, I suggest. Should Ban'er just do odd jobs in the clan school? One year. For ten taels of silver wages, he either sells himself as a slave or does odd jobs. I will give him a set of books that he should have. It is his business to read as much as he can and learn as much as he can. Do you think it is okay?"
"Tell us in the countryside that the master comes in and the practice depends on oneself?" Grandma Liu understood that doing odd jobs is also work, but it is different from the book boy. The book boy only hangs around the master, while the job content of the handyman in the school is actually fixed. , he has time and is not too disturbed to read.
"Absolutely, in a study environment, if someone studies for six years, he can study for twelve years leisurely. He can also save some money to prepare for future exams. If he passes the scholar level, I will let him be a teaching assistant. You can get twenty taels a year; after passing the imperial examination, I will let him teach secondary courses; how about it?" Ou Mengmeng increased the temptation to come to work, have books to study, and earn money. What he earns is the amount of money you spend in a year.
Grandma Liu nodded hurriedly, thinking that this was a good thing to say, so she left Ban'er directly.
Daiyu and the others came back in the evening, got it
Grandma Liu came and left Ban'er to do odd jobs in the school. Everyone was a little surprised as to why the old lady did this.
"What do you think?" Ou Mengmeng looked at Jia She beside him.
"Rules." Jia She nodded, "Let's take him in, and then we'll see if people who have nothing to do with our family will send their children over. What should we do?"
Jia She felt that the small official family, which was jointly connected with the Wang family, really couldn't hit it with eight poles. You are so shy to ask for such a quota, you are really crazy. After saying that, he gave Jia Zheng a roll of his eyes, "This is your wife's natal family. If you don't look for the Wang family, you look for our Jia family?"
Jia Zheng was also depressed and felt that there was something wrong with coming to the Jia family about the Wang family. But looking at the old lady, she still had a smile on her face and said, "Mother is worried about the Wang family's affairs."
"That really has nothing to do with the Wang family. Grandma Liu is a good person and a chivalrous person. That's why I made this move." Ou Mengmeng shook her head, "The point is, why did I do this."
"Isn't it a rule?" Jia She looked up at his mother.
"You're right, this is the primary reason. What I'm asking is why I let him be a handyman instead of a book boy."
"The old lady thought well. It is common sense for a scholar to follow his brother to study. However, if he follows his brother, he may become a slave and have a left-handed temper." Jia Zheng nodded. He has been studying and teaching over the years and has seen a lot. too much.
"Yes, Ban'er can read. What I want is not to break the bones of the scholar. He has a hard time reading, and the bones will become harder and harder." The old lady thought about it and shook her head gently. As for your temper, it's up to you whether you can improve your temper. Boss!"
"Why?" Jia She was not interested in outsiders, let alone relatives of the Wang family. He was even less interested.
"Ban'er is the person I look after for Jia Zhuo, take good care of her!" Ou Mengmeng thought about it and laughed again.
In the original work, this pair is the result of being good at beauty. As the clever sister, Jia Zhuo becomes the last bright spot in the book. Now that that was done, she didn't mind continuing.
Wang Xifeng originally felt a little depressed because this was a relative of the Wang family. As a result, the old lady actually wanted to give this country child to her eldest daughter. She was so frightened that she almost gave birth prematurely.
"There are still more than ten years left. I will observe slowly and realize that you are my mother. I will give you a heads up." Ou Mengmeng smiled and looked at Jia She, "Don't spoil her."
"Yes!" Jia She nodded, now feeling that this candidate is a good one. He has some connections with the Wang family. There are officials in his family, so he is not a commoner. Marrying your granddaughter is to miss old love.
Also, if the Jia family really cultivates a Jinshi master, then even a handyman from the Jia family can be admitted to the Jinshi. What kind of ability is this? Jia She simply felt that a granddaughter would be willing to give up.
Jia Zheng felt that the old lady must have seen what they did not see, so he did not object.
Wang Xifeng was speechless, but she didn't dare to object, since she could still observe anyway. However, Wang Xifeng was still a little unwilling to marry her daughter to a commoner.
