Chapter 964: A Dream (45)

"Since you want to go to school and our family has money now, I will send you to the county town to study. I will go to the county town tomorrow to ask which school is better."

After Xiao Yougen finished speaking, Xiao Chengjin, who had just nodded in agreement, shook his head and said, "Dad, although I want to study, I have only learned the Thousand Character Classic. I don't need to go to the county town to study now. Isn't there a school in Daling Village ahead? I can just go there to study."

Daling Village is much larger than Yangcheng Village, almost the size of two Yangcheng Villages.

Daling Village is not only large in area, but also has a landlord.

The landlord's surname was Zhao, and people respectfully called him Master Zhao.

Mr. Zhao has both sons and daughters, and many relatives, so naturally he also has many nephews and nephews.

In order to allow his children to go to school, Mr. Zhao built a yard as a school and hired a teacher.

Although the teacher is just an old scholar, it is enough for him to teach the Four Books and Five Classics.

Except for Mr. Zhao's nephews and nieces, anyone else who wanted to go to school could also study, but they had to pay a tuition fee.

Xiao Chengjin didn't want to go to the county town to study, firstly because his family didn't have much money, and the tuition fees in the county town would definitely be higher. At present, the Xiao family couldn't afford it.

Secondly, it takes at least an hour and a half to get from Yangcheng Village to the county town, and school classes must start very early, so it is impossible to make a round trip every day.

If he lived in the school, not only would he have to spend money on food and lodging, he would also be reluctant to leave Su Ruanruan.

Therefore, the best choice is to go to the school in Daling Village first.

It would only take Xiao Chengjin fifteen minutes to get from Yangcheng Village to Daling Village based on his current walking speed.

Apart from the fact that he was reluctant to part with Su Ruanruan, Xiao Chengjin told Xiao Yougen about all his other concerns, and Xiao Yougen nodded his head. "Then let's do as you say. I happen to have time this afternoon, so I'll take you directly to the school to see how we can enroll."

Before leaving, Xiao Chengjin came to find Su Ruanruan and told her that he was going to school.

Su Ruanruan was envious.

However, there were no girls allowed to go to school in the Zhou Dynasty. Even if Su Runrun wanted to set a precedent, the teacher at the school would not accept her.

If the Su family were a wealthy family, they could hire a teacher to teach at home, but now it's just a thought.

Xiao Chengjin knew that Su Ruanruan loved to learn. Seeing that she was a little disappointed, he comforted her, "Don't worry, I will come back to teach you after I finish learning."

Su Ruanruan immediately became happy when she heard this.

yes!

Xiao Chengjin will teach her when he comes back after finishing his studies, so there is no need for her to worry too much.

Xiao Chengjin came back after an hour and of course brought back good news: he was successfully admitted.

The tuition for school is two taels of silver every year, which is really not a small amount.

Schools in the countryside are so expensive, let alone in the county town.

If it was just tuition money, it would be fine, but pens, ink, paper, inkstone, and books, none of them are cheap, which makes studying difficult.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Compared with here, Su Runrun really feels that her previous life was so good.

At least studying doesn’t cost that much.

As long as the family is diligent, they can basically set off fireworks to send their children to school.

Xiao Chengjin had been successfully enrolled and was going to class the next day. He needed to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone, so Xiao Yougen hurried to the county town again.

Mr. Liu from the school has already written down the things that need to be bought on a piece of paper, so he can just take it with him.

Mr. Liu is also a good man. He was afraid that Xiao Yougen would be cheated, so he told Xiao Yougen in detail the value of the things he wanted to buy.
