"Brother, someone is looking for you outside the door."
Gu Qingjue was in the back hall. He had just picked up his bow and arrows and planned to go up the mountain to try his luck to see if he could hunt bigger prey so that he could exchange some money to supplement the family income.
Gu Qingxi shouted in front of the hall.
Gu Qingjue put down his bow and arrow and walked quickly from the back hall to the main hall.
The person who came was the wife of Gu Qingjue's private school. Her surname was Zhou. She was over fifty years old. Her hair was gray but her eyes were bright and full of energy.
"The student has met the Master."
"Okay, okay, Ziyuan, your home is quite easy to find."
Master Zhou was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.
Gu Qingjue smiled slightly and welcomed Master Zhou to the throne. There was no tea at home, but a few pots of boiling water were prepared.
Gu Qingjue poured a glass of water for Mrs. Zhou before asking her why she came.
"You haven't been to school for a few days. As a master, I naturally want to come and take a look. Didn't you say that your fiancée fell into the water two days ago? Is she feeling better now?"
"I miss you, Master. She is fine now."
"That's good. Since you have nothing to do at home, you can go to school tomorrow and continue your studies. Studying is like practicing martial arts. Don't waste a day."
It turned out that Master Zhou came to visit him personally because he wanted Gu Qingjue to return to the private school to continue his studies.
"Master's thoughts, students' gratitude, but the family is in dire straits, it's really..."
The book "Research on Prices in the Song Dynasty" records: The servants in Huaixi in the Northern Song Dynasty were able to work for what they were capable of, and were paid a hundred qian a day for cooking.
This means that ordinary people, working diligently throughout the day, only have an income of about one hundred cash per day.
But now, they only have one hundred and seventy-eight coins left in their money bag.
Daily expenses require at least thirty cash per day.
Calculating this, we will be out of food in a few days.
He doesn't have enough to eat, so there is no spare money for him to study and learn.
"It's a pity that your knowledge has been buried like this. I know your concerns, so I decided to exempt you from the training. You just need to come to class on time."
After Master Zhou finished speaking, Gu Qingxi clapped his hands and jumped up: "Okay, big brother, you can go to private school again."
Gu Qingjue smiled slightly and touched Gu Qingxi's head.
He did not immediately answer Master Zhou's words.
Su Yixin took Gu Qingming to take a nap in the room. The door was ajar, and Master Zhou's words could be heard clearly.
She knew what Gu Qingjue was hesitating about.
Going to a private school is not just a matter of self-cultivation.
The expenses of a family of four all depend on him alone. If he goes to a private school, how can he have time to hunt and earn money, relying on Su Yixin's half-year-old child?
Gu Qingjue was responsible and would not put this burden on a woman.
Su Yixin tucked Gu Qingming into bed, got up and went to the main hall.
She had to speak up about this matter in order to relieve Gu Qingjue's worries. In short, the book must be read.
"I have met the Master."
Su Yixin bowed and saluted. This ceremony was taught to her by Mrs. Fan and was very standard.
Zhou Qingya was slightly surprised.
He heard that there was a bride in Gu Qingjue's family. He thought she was an unworthy woman, but he didn't expect that she was a young lady who understood etiquette.
"Are you Ziyuan's wife?"
"it's me."
Su Yixin smiled and nodded.
Gu Qingjue stood up and introduced: "Master, my wife's surname is Su, and she is the adopted daughter of the Su family in Lianhua Village."
Master Zhou understood: "She is actually the daughter of the Su family."
It's really surprising.
Gu Qingjue's private school is in the northeast of Wangjiacun, on the way to Yuyuan Town, turn left for a mile.
As for Lianhua Village, turn right for two miles.
That crossroad is wider than other roads, and it is the only way to go to the town. There are often bullock carts waiting there, pulling villagers from several nearby villages to the town.
As we went back and forth, the two nearby villages became more and more familiar.
The Su family is quite famous in Lianhua Village.
"Famous" is not a compliment.
It was because Su Qizhen, the eldest son of the Su family, opened a red shop in the town.
At the beginning, the business of Red Mansion was very booming.
The Su family made a lot of money as a result.
Within two years, the red building began to be haunted.
At first there was someone who did not believe in evil and waited there in the middle of the night. But when the door opened the next day, that person actually hanged himself.
No one is willing to go now.
You go to the Red Mansion to spend money to have fun, not to spend money to die.
The business of the red building is getting worse day by day, and all the girls in the building have left.
Su Qizhen also became addicted to gambling. He lost all his family's savings in two days, and pledged the land deed of his ancestral home in Lianhua Village to a gambling house, and still paid off his huge gambling debt.
The people in the gambling house chased Su Qizhen all day long, knocking him down from time to time.
Su Qizhen was injured internally.
In order to save Su Qizhen, Su's father and mother sold Su Yixin twenty taels of silver to the Gu family.
At that time, several nearby villages knew about this.
Zhou Qingya naturally knew about it, but he didn't know that the daughter of the Su family who was sold was Gu Qingjue's bride.
"Master, don't worry, Ziyuan will go to a private school early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, this trip is not in vain. Ziyuan, you are really a good wife."
Master Zhou stood up and patted Gu Qingjue on the shoulder: "As a teacher, there are not many proud disciples in my life. You are the most intelligent child I have ever seen. You must not let it go to waste."
After Master Zhou left, Gu Qingjue looked at Su Yixin and sighed helplessly.
"If I go to a private school, how can you support this family by yourself?"
"Why not?"
She is not a weak woman whose shoulders cannot resist and whose hands cannot lift.
As a magician, she has many ways to make money.
Su Yixin didn't say much and went back to the house to prepare things for Gu Qingjue to go to private school tomorrow.
Before going to bed that night, he told Gu Qingjue: "When you go to the private school tomorrow, remember to remind me not to go northwest for the past two days."
"Why?"
"Just tell Master. As for why, you will know in two days."
Late at night, Su Yixin put out the oil lamp and lay on the bed, thinking about how to make money in the future to support her family.
After thinking about it, I fell asleep.
After falling asleep, Su Yixin had a dream. She dreamed of fighting with others in her previous life. She also dreamed of Su's father and mother Su who were polite to her when they were in the Su family. Her thoughts were so complicated that Su Yixin couldn't tell whether she was in a dream. , or in reality.
"Woooooooo..."
Women, wake up quickly, you are in danger.
Su Yixin was woken up from her dream by Luo Wushang, and was stunned for a moment.
Then he sat up in shock.
Then I saw green snakes all over the room.
It’s so densely packed that there’s no way to start.
The snake was about the thickness of a thumb and about three feet long. Its eyes were as red as blood, and it crawled toward their bed while spitting out snake bites.
"Woooooooo..."
This snake is not normal. Normal snakes have hierarchical suppression engraved in their bones and blood. With the nine-tailed fox here, they can crawl as far as they can.
How could he be so desperate?
Su Yixin put on a coat, quickly dressed Gu Qingming, and held her in her arms.
"The snake is under control."
I don't know what's going on next door.
The situation on Gu Qingjue's side was not as optimistic as on Su Yixin's side, and the green snake had already crawled to the bed.
