When Yun Duo heard the price, she thought to herself: This price is indeed a bit low. Her basket can only hold about 30 kilograms at most. However, if she thinks about it carefully, in this era, an adult laborer only earns 100 coins a day, and if you pick flowers, one person can pick at least kilograms a day. With this calculation, it is not cheap.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll ask my nephew to pick that piece of honeysuckle, dry it and send it to me. If it's dried, it will weigh at least 100 to 200 kilograms."

At this time, Xiao Jizi also weighed the medicinal herbs that Yunhai brought, a total of three taels and two cents of silver, and the total weight of the honeysuckle and the mule cart was fifty-six pounds, which was fifty-six copper coins.

Doctor Meng gave Yunhai nine silver notes of 100 taels each, ten silver ingots of taels each, three taels and two cents of loose silver, and fifty-six copper coins.

After settling the money, Yunhai kept two silver bars for himself in his purse, gave the rest to Yunduo, and then got up to say goodbye.

Both Mr. Meng and Meng Nanxing were very surprised. They had never expected that Yunhai would trust that little girl so much and give her so much money to keep! This was really unexpected.

Seeing that Yunhai and his grandson were about to leave, Meng Nanxing quickly picked up the cakes on the table. He had prepared them specially when he went upstairs to get the banknotes. He handed them to Yunhai and said, "Grandpa Yun, take these two boxes of cakes and eat them with Yun's sister on the way."

Yunhai took the cake and said, "Thank you, Doctor Meng."

"Grandpa Yun, you can just call me Nanxing. Calling me doctor would be too polite," said Meng Nanxing.

Old Doctor Meng saw through Meng Nanxing's thoughts. His grandson was a skilled doctor and handsome, but he had always been lukewarm towards girls.

There are several young ladies from wealthy families in the county who want to marry him, but Meng Nanxing doesn't like them all. But today he is so attentive to the Yun Hai grandson and grandfather, it seems that he has taken a fancy to the little girl from the Yun family.

Doctor Meng was also very impressed by Doctor Yun's granddaughter. The little girl was very pretty, with a pair of eyes as bright as gemstones, and was particularly bright. Although she didn't say much after she came in, she gave people the impression that she was very well-educated.

He saw through his grandson's thoughts and decided to lend a helping hand, so he smiled and said to Yun Hai: "Brother Yun, this pretty girl is your granddaughter, right? She is so charming. I wonder how old she is this year, and whether her family has arranged a marriage for her?"

Yunhai was also a smart man. He immediately understood what Mr. Meng meant. This pig, Meng Nanxing, wanted to take advantage of his little cabbage! His granddaughter was only 14 years old in this life. She couldn't get married so early.

"Brother Meng, this is my granddaughter Duoer. She is 14 years old this year, but she has not yet reached the age of marriage and has not yet been engaged. The child is still young, so there is no need to rush. There are three boys in the family and only this one girl. Her parents want to keep her with them for a few more years." After saying this, Yunhai took Yunduo out of Bencao Hall.

Mr. Meng also knew that it was a bit abrupt to ask about a marriage proposal when he had just met the girl for the first time today. He thought there was still a long way to go and there was no need to rush.

Yun Qingshan and others were waiting outside. When they saw Yun Hai and Yun Duo coming out, they drove the mule cart over and said, "Uncle, Duo Er, get in the cart!"

Sitting on the mule cart, Yunhai said, "Qingshan, you must be getting impatient waiting here. Something has delayed us. Let's go to Chaoyang Academy now and ask Chenxi and Jige'er about their admission."

Soon the ox cart arrived at Chaoyang Academy. Yun Hai asked Yun Qingshan to pull over the mule cart and asked Yun Qingshan and Yun Duo to wait outside while he went in to ask.

After about a cup of tea, the sea of ​​clouds appeared.

Yun Qingshan asked hurriedly: "Uncle, you came out so soon, what did you ask?"

Yunhai got on the mule cart and told them the results of the academy's investigation as they walked: "Chaoyang Academy has four classes, A, B, C, and D."

Class D is the introductory class, which is enrolled in the autumn of each year and enrolls students who have just started to learn. Class C is the basic class, which enrolls students with some basic knowledge and can be enrolled at any time by taking an exam. Class B is the Tongsheng class, which enrolls students who have already obtained the Tongsheng title. Class A is the Xiucai class, which enrolls students who have already obtained the Xiucai title. Students with the title of the two classes can enroll at any time.

We Chenxi are Tongsheng and can directly enter Tongsheng B Class. If we want to enter Xiucai A Class, we have to take an exam.

People like Ji Ge'er and Xiang Ge'er who have a good foundation but are not yet Tongsheng can also enter Class B or Class C through examinations.

The exams will be held at the beginning of every month, and I have registered my three children.”

When Yun Qingshan heard that Yun Xiang had also signed up, he became a little uneasy and said, "How much will it cost to send both sons to school?"

"Didn't uncle say that Chenxi and Ji Ge'er should be allowed to study first, and the other children should follow their eldest cousin? Why did Xiang Ge'er sign up as well?"

"I see that they are still recruiting students for the introductory class here. The learning environment is not bad. Our children all have a certain foundation, and Xiang'er is already 11 years old, so I want to let the three brothers come. After all, the teaching in the academy is more comprehensive than that in private schools, which will be of great benefit to the children's future development. It won't be too late to send the younger children to the academy when they grow up a little bit."

After all, Yunhai was influenced by the higher education of later generations. In his eyes, children naturally need to go to college and receive systematic education.

Today, he has such conditions. Although he cannot change the fate of everyone in this era, it is more than enough to ensure that his children and grandchildren can study and go to school without worries about food and clothing.

Of course, he would never let his children and grandchildren develop bad habits of not making progress, living off their savings, and being lazy and idle. He would let them rely on their own efforts to get what they want.

When Yun Qingshan heard his uncle's words, his heart was moved like a surging tide. He secretly swore in his heart that he would work harder to make money in the future. At the same time, he also told his two sons to study hard and never let their great grandfather down.
