Is there a problem? They said it before.
"That's great! All the students who graduated from Qingshan Academy have great prospects. You guys will have a good life in the future."
"Yeah?"
Aunt Zhang was very curious why the Zhao family accompanied their son-in-law to study. Shouldn't the scholar's own parents come?
"You are so kind, accompanying your son-in-law all the way here to study. By the way, what about the scholar's own family woolen clothes?"
Song's smile was forced. "Leizi's family is very busy and has no time. We are free so we came here."
"Did your whole family move here?"
The Song family instinctively didn't want to talk about their family affairs with others, and Zhao Xiaoyu was even more unhappy. Did people in the capital city also love gossip so much?
"Auntie, why are you here today?"
"That's right, I heard that Mr. Zhao is also a scholar, right?"
"yes."
The woman was overjoyed and smiled like a big chrysanthemum. Both of her children were in the early age of elementary school, but the tuition fees for good schools in the capital were ridiculously expensive. Her husband was just a minor official, and his position was low, so the money he could get was not much. It was difficult for the family to make ends meet, and there was no money for the children to go to school.
And she saw that the new Zhao family was very rich, extremely rich. She looked at the snacks on the table, how exquisite and beautiful they were. She had never been willing to buy these good things in the past.
"It seems that Mr. Zhao has stopped studying?"
"Well, my father is already quite old. It's time for him to live a comfortable and happy life."
The tenant next door to the Zhang family seemed to be a minor official in the family. He was usually polite and we didn't have a close relationship.
This is what rich people are like. They say they don’t want to study and they don’t study. They say they come to the capital and they come to the capital. They say they come to accompany their son-in-law to study, but in fact they just come to have fun.
I stroll along the street every day and often come home carrying large and small bags.
"Why don't you study anymore? It's not easy to pass the exam to become a scholar, and your family can afford it."
"Haha, everyone has different choices."
Is that so? If it were her, she would definitely continue to study. Her husband wanted to study but couldn't afford it, so he chose to work as a minor official, barely getting enough to eat but not starving to death, and just getting by day by day.
"Madam Zhao, I met the old man on the road a few days ago and heard him coughing a few times. Look, I brought some pears here today. Don't be fooled by their small size. Stew them into soup and give it to the old man. It's very good for treating coughs."
As he spoke, he picked up the basket he had brought with him, opened the curtain, and saw that it was full of small pears, yellow wild pears.
"Thank you, sister-in-law Zhang, you are so thoughtful."
"We're neighbors, right? Is the old man still coughing badly?"
"Much better. I took two doses of medicine. Maybe I'm a little tired from climbing the mountain earlier."
"I'm glad I'm feeling better."
I went out to climb the mountains. Life is good when I don’t have to worry about my life.
"Are you going to the mountains outside the city? I heard that place is very magnificent. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Zhao Xiaoyu poured her a cup of tea and said, "The scenery there is pretty good."
It's really expensive, a room in the upper room costs one tael of silver per night, and the food is expensive too. It's all brought up from the mountain, so it's normal to be a little expensive. They should at least charge a little extra, right?
"I heard that your child has also started elementary education?" Song asked.
"Yes, they are studying in a school near my grandpa's home now..." When talking about her son, Aunt Zhang immediately became excited and talked for half an hour.
It's a pity that the Zhao family has no boys who can play with her son. Otherwise, if the two children interacted frequently, they would definitely become close quickly.
She glanced at the corner of the yard and saw someone playing with pear blossoms in the corner of the yard. She didn't know what the girl was holding or how old she was.
