At dawn the next day, Jiang's father and son went up the mountain to pick mushrooms with baskets on their backs.During the rainy season, when the mushrooms on the mountain are plentiful and plump, there are many people who go up the mountain to pick them up.At noon, the villagers in Xijindu saw the Jiang family's father and son descending the mountain with joy on their faces. After asking, they found out that the Jiang family's father and son had actually picked a large ganoderma in the mountain.

This Ganoderma lucidum is a precious medicinal material, I heard that it is very valuable.The deceased Grandfather Qi Wu in the village once picked one, sold it for more than 30 taels of silver, and built a five-room brick and tile house, which made the villagers envious.

It's a pity that his family's descendants didn't live up to expectations and made a bad bet.I lost all the family's money, not to mention, I was so angry with my mother-in-law, I sold the fields and children, and in the end even the blue bricks and big tiled houses were given to others. Now I think about it.

Let's say that Jiang's father and son went home and had lunch in a hurry, then rushed to the county seat without stopping, and entered the largest and most honest He Antang in the city.In the end, because of its age, good appearance and strong medicinal properties, Heantang bought this red luscious flower at a high price of 180 taels of silver.

Seeing so much money for the first time, Jiang's father and son trembled.He didn't dare to stay in the city too long, and went straight home when he left He'antang.

When I got home, it was already dark.After dinner, the children were rushed to the room to rest.Old man Jiang poured all the money he got from selling Ganoderma lucidum on the table.Looking at a pile of silver ingots exuding bright luster, the eyes of several women were straightened.

Old Hu cautiously stretched out his hand to touch it, with a look of disbelief, he stammered and asked, "Old man, are these all from our family?"

Looking at the excited eyes of the family, old man Jiang answered with the same excitement, "Yes, they all belong to our family. This Ganoderma lucidum was sold for 180 taels of silver. The shopkeeper He Antang gave 100 taels of silver, plus Five ten taels of silver ingots, and six five taels of small ingots are here." He piled up the silver in front of Mrs. Hu.

Mrs. Hu took a look at him, then gathered the money into a pile, and said after a pause: "The family has worked hard all these years to send the third child and the two children to study. Now, thanks to our baby, I got so much money. I was thinking, it would be more convenient for you to share some of the rooms for pocket money, and if you have money to buy something, or go back to your mother’s house.”

As she said that, Mrs. Hu took three silver ingots of ten taels, divided one for each room and said, "Today I will give you ten taels for each room." As she spoke, she picked up two small silver ingots of five taels and put them on the table. Mrs. Lu said in front of her: "These two are for Xiao Guaibao. It is thanks to her that our family has so much money." Mrs. Hu turned her face and asked the first room and the second room: "Do you have any objections? Seeing that the two sons and daughter-in-law both nodded and said no, they nodded in satisfaction and put away the rest of the money.

The old man Jiang took over and said, "Part of the remaining money will be used to make full moon wine for our baby, and part of it will be reserved for the third son when he goes to Fucheng for the exam.

Guaibao's full moon wine must be more generous.One is to accumulate more blessings for Guaibao, and the other is to use this incident to give back to the tribe.Over the years, the tribe has helped us a lot inside and out, and now that our life is a little better, we have to pay back a little bit, and we must not forget our roots! "

Old man Hu took a sip of his white water and continued: "The third child will end in the second half of the year. This is a big event. With this money, the family can take a breather. I plan to leave the rest for the children to study." Now, old man Hu said proudly: "Our family's grandchildren, one by one, send them all to the school!"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Good school!Send the brothers to study!Knowledge alters your fate!Grandpa mighty!Jiang Yuqing danced with excitement when he heard that his brothers were being sent to school.

The sound of the baby's tender and milky sound is particularly beautiful in the silent night.Old Hu was overjoyed when he heard it, took his granddaughter from Lu's arms, and teased her cheerfully: "Baby, grandpa said, send all brothers to school, do you think it's okay?"

"Ahhh!" The little milk boy replied seriously, of course.No matter how poor you are, you can't afford poor education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer children.Reading is a good thing.If it were in my old world, my brothers would have already entered school.

"Hahaha, it seems that my darling also thinks that grandpa is doing the right thing! It's settled. Tomorrow morning, Boss, take the children and take Xiao Qi with you, and go to your in-laws to ask. If you can, Send them all to school!" The in-laws that old man Hu mentioned are Lu's own father, Mr. Lu, a scholar.

Lu Lao Xiucai was very talented when he was young, but when his luck was not good, since he was selected as a scholar when he was young, he always had accidents when he wanted to pass the exam.

My grandfather died before the first exam, and I had to keep my filial piety for three years according to the rules.Just after the filial piety period, the grandmother went again and kept the filial piety for another three years.It was so easy to pass the filial piety. During the third exam, I was caught in the rain on the road and got a severe wind and cold. I almost didn't make it through, let alone the exam.

After that time, Lu Xiucai completely stopped thinking about references, and turned back to his hometown Xiushuiwan to open a school, concentrating on teaching, and actually taught several scholars.

Jiang Wenyuan is one of them.

Not only that, Lu Laoxiu saw this young man's appearance, talent, learning and character are excellent, and later betrothed the jewel in his palm to him, this is the Lu family.

After Jiang Wenyuan became a scholar, he went to the county school to study.The Jiang family sent over Jiang Yujiang, the elder brother of his nephews, and Jiang Yuhu, the third son.

The next day, Jiang Wenkang really led a group of sons and nephews to Xiushui Bay where Grandpa Jiang lived, including Jiang Yuhe, the second child who had a headache and was unwilling to read the book.

Xiushuiwan is not far from Xijindu.About four or five miles up the Xizi River, it is where the Xizi River turns into a bend.Because the river is full of thick and big willow trees that do not know how many years old, the largest one of which can only be hugged by five or six adults. It has beautiful scenery all year round, so it is called "Xiushuiwan".

Grandpa Jiang's private school is located on a small gentle slope to the west of Xiushui Bay. It is a large green brick courtyard with two entrances.There are currently more than 50 students in the school, all of whom are from the surrounding villages.It is divided into three classes, A and C.Class C is a Mongolian child without any foundation, while Class B has a certain foundation.Class A has the smallest number of students, and they are all those who have studied for a few years and are preparing for the next year's entrance exam.Now Jiang Yujiang is in Class A and Jiang Yuhu is in Class B.

Old scholar Lu heard that old man Jiang only earned some money by selling medicinal materials, so he wanted to send the other five children, including his own grandson, to school, and he was very impressed.Although his in-law did not know a single word, he was a rare and farsighted person.

A family with such a person at the helm will not worry about unworthy descendants and family prosperity.It is also because of this that after carefully inquiring about the Jiang family's affairs, he married his daughter to his family with peace of mind.Now it seems that his choice was right.

After the old scholar Lu passed the school examinations on the children, the junior Jiang Yuhai, the fifth Jiang Yuming, and the seventh Jiang Yuchuan were assigned to Class B; the second Jiang Yuhe and the sixth Jiang Yushan were in Class C.

Although Jiang Yuchuan is only a little over five years old, he is the smartest boy in the Jiang family's generation.This child probably followed his father and is quite talented in reading.At a young age, he was able to memorize three hundred thousand by heart, and he had already started to read scriptures and history. He was a perfect elementary school bully.Apart from his own talent, it is also inseparable from Lu's daily teachings.As for Jiang Yuhe and Jiang Yushan, they are not so good, let alone memorizing, they can still read the first ten sentences of "San Zi Jing".

Of course, it's nothing. The Jiang family sent them to study, and they don't expect every grandson to be a scholar. They just hope that they can know a few more words and go out in the future, so that they won't be blind .

After Jiang's family picked Ganoderma lucidum and made a fortune and sent all seven grandchildren to school, it caused an uproar around them.

Some of the villagers admired, some envied, and some spoke bitterly.But more people secretly set their sights on the newly born young daughter of the Jiang family.

The little girl was just born, and it rained heavily after a long drought.Afterwards, the rains became normal and spring plowing was possible.In just a few days, Lao Jiang's family just went up the mountain to pick up a fungus, and they picked Ganoderma lucidum.According to Sanqiu's father who had seen this Ganoderma lucidum, that Ganoderma lucidum was as big as a sea bowl, it was so red that it was purple, and it was worth at least a few dozen taels of silver.

Grandpa God, how much is a few dozen taels of silver?Even if they don't eat or drink for a lifetime, they may not be able to save so much money.Look, the Jiang family sent so many grandchildren to the school in one go.

It is said that a child needs 800 Wen per month, plus books, pens, ink and paper, and a child spends at least 8 Wen per month, which means at least 56 taels of silver for a year.Calculated in this way, for the seven children of Lao Jiang's family, the tuition fees alone cost [-] taels a year.This is an astronomical sum for an ordinary farmer whose household is only three or four taels of silver a year.

If things go on like this, the money for selling Ganoderma lucidum will only have to be spent in one year, which might not be enough.

Is Lao Jiang's family crazy, and they can't live in the future?

No matter how the outside world speculates and discusses, the life of the Jiang family is still step by step, how to live.Soon, Jiang Yuqing's full moon banquet will arrive.

The day before his daughter's full moon, Jiang Wenyuan asked for leave and went home.

The Jiang family let go of the word earlier that Guaibao does not accept gifts for the full moon wine.All members of the Jiang clan, one counts as one, can come to have a feast.In addition, the Jiang family also invited several families with foreign surnames that they had good friends with in the village, such as Li Zheng's family, Zhao Liuzhi's family and Qi Doufu's family.

As early as a few days ago, the Jiang family had already started preparations.The master chef who is in charge of the spoon, the junior waiter, and the women who help wash and cut vegetables and do chores have all been arranged.Almost everything that should be purchased has already been purchased.In addition, the tables, benches, bowls and chopsticks needed for the banquet have also been agreed to be borrowed from door to door.

It's the right day.Before dawn, Jiang's house was already brightly lit.The big fat pig in the backyard, which had been raised for nearly two years, was dragged out of the pigsty with an iron hook under its chin by the village pig butcher, Wang Laowu, screaming.With the help of a few strong farmers, the pig turned into meat on the chopping board in less than half an hour.
