Next, the two of them talked about a few things to note regarding the wheelchair.
Shopkeeper Wu even used pen and ink to record those matters in detail. It was also at this time that Shopkeeper Wu discovered that Jian Xiu could read.
"Young lady, you are a real person who doesn't show your true colors. There are not many women like you who can read and write in Quanyong County."
"Please forgive me, Shopkeeper Wu. My ability is nothing but showing off in front of you. But speaking of literacy, I really have something I want to ask Shopkeeper Wu."
"Oh? You might as well just say it, young lady!"
"You know, I have some income now, and I want to send my two children to college, but I don't know which college is good."
Hearing this, Wu Mingtang pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"Hiss, there are only three academies in Quanyong County, and the best one is Huaheng Academy. However, Huaheng has both advantages and disadvantages. The students there are all sons of high-ranking officials, most of whom are uneducated and have formed cliques. If the young lady really wants to send six or seven children to the academy, I would recommend that she go to Xuewen Academy."
"Study in Wenshu Academy?" Jian Xiu asked in surprise.
She had also heard of this academy, but it had a bad reputation.
It is said that the fees are indeed not high, but the people inside don't have any real skills.
But these are just hearsay, and it is not clear whether they are true or not.
"Yes, Xuewen Academy is really not bad. Of course, the rumors outside are only half true and half false. Most of them are just rumors spread by other academies because they are excluded."
Hearing what Shopkeeper Wu said, Jian Xiu immediately showed an expression of 'I see'.
At the same time, I became curious because Manager Wu looked like he was very familiar with the Faculty of Arts.
Shopkeeper Wu seemed to see through Jian Xiu's thoughts and laughed, "If you really want to study at the Academy, I can introduce you to someone."
"Does Shopkeeper Wu really mean what he said?"
"Of course I take it seriously, but I have to make it clear first. I am just recommending them. As for whether Liu Tou and Qi Tou can be accepted by Dean Mo into the academy, I cannot guarantee it."
"Of course. As long as Manager Wu can introduce me, Jian Xiu will be very grateful." Jian Xiu said quickly.
At this time, she was already thinking about teaching Liutou and Qitou some basic knowledge after returning.
At least they should be able to learn how to hold a pen and do some simple arithmetic!
"But if you send two people in at once, it might be a bit tiring," Shopkeeper Wu reminded again.
After saying this, Shopkeeper Wu seemed to remember something and continued:
"But I heard that there will be a competition in this Chinese Academy in three months. If you win, you will get a certain amount of silver as a reward."
"Oh, seriously?" Jian Xiu asked excitedly.
"Of course. This is a literary competition organized by the county lord of Quanyong County. Each academy will send several students to represent the academy to participate in the competition. Whether they can win depends on the students' strength. If they win, not only will the county lord receive rewards, but the deans of each academy will also be exempted from one semester of tuition."
"Is there such a good thing?" Jian Xiu exclaimed.
"Yes, there are, but can six or seven people..."
Shopkeeper Wu did not continue the conversation, but having said this, there was nothing Jian Xiu did not understand.
It's no wonder that Shopkeeper Wu has such an idea. Since it's still a question whether his son will be accepted by the academy, it's a bit too exaggerated to think about winning the competition.
However, Jian Xiu doesn't have many other advantages, but her most desirable quality is her optimism.
Next, Jian Xiu went to the market to find Zhang Zhiyong.
But when Jian Xiu found Zhang Zhiyong, he was in a state of panic.
Looking behind him, he saw that the deer behind him was covered with straw.
"Auntie, you want one pound, right? Wait a minute, I'll cut it for you right away!"
"Cut this side, it's fatter here." The aunt pointed to Zhang Zhiyong's right hand side and said.
"늅, cut it for you!"
When Jian Xiu arrived, only half of the wild boar was left.
Then I looked at the guests who gathered around, but there were only a few of them.
"Auntie, how much do you weigh?" Jian Xiu walked over, picked up a small knife beside her, and asked the auntie opposite.
"I'll take one pound too!"
"Wait a minute!"
When Zhang Zhiyong saw Jian Xiu, he just glanced at her hurriedly and didn't ask anything, because there were three or four people waiting in front.
After the two of them finished their work, a quarter of an hour had passed.
"Brother Zhiyong, if you don't want this half, we can take it back and eat it ourselves!"
"Ah? There are still so many, they should be sold out soon. Can't you sell them a little longer?" Zhang Zhiyong asked subconsciously.
"No, no, we three families can divide it up. Each family doesn't have much. Everyone has been so tired during this period. Eating some meat and some oil can help to replenish the body." Jian Xiu said with a smile.
As she said this, she had already started to clean up the wild boar lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyong was also helpless.
This is before the exchange. Even if there is only one kilogram left, it can be exchanged for ten copper coins.
But this wild boar was Jian Xiu's, after all, so he couldn't say anything more.
"Jian Xiu, have you finished discussing everything?"
"It's settled. I'll sell the two wild boars to Shopkeeper Wu for seventeen coins a pound. It's one copper coin less, but it saves a lot of trouble."
"Indeed, we still have to go back and pick plantains."
"Well, do you want to go to Renhe Hall to sell the plantain as well? Brother Zhiyong, if it's inconvenient for you to drive the ox cart, then I can go by myself." Jian Xiu spoke again.
"Okay, Renhe Hall is right in front of us, be careful! Do you need me to help you carry this deer over?"
"No, no, I did it by myself. Have you forgotten? I was the one who carried this musk deer out from the mountains by myself." Jian Xiu said proudly.
Zhang Zhiyong: “…”
Renhetang.
This is Jian Xiu's first time to come to the Quanyong County Pharmacy.
In the past, I had some minor illnesses and pains, but I mostly endured them by myself.
I really can't help it, so I will ask Zhang Da to come and have a look.
Even when Zhang Zixuan fell off the cliff, he just asked Zhang Da to prescribe some hemostatic herbs.
As soon as he walked in, the waiter at Renhetang nodded politely to Jian Xiu.
"Young lady, are you... selling medicinal herbs?"
Jian Xiu lowered her head to look at the plantain in the basket and replied:
"Yes, this is plantain. A few days ago, my fellow villager came to ask about it. He said that if it is dried, it will be 15 cents per pound. Take a look. Do we dry it well?"
