MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 58 Make it up
Chapter 58 Make up for it
In the Imperial College, Mu Yan finished two classics and history classes in the morning, and went to a one-hour riding and archery class before returning to the classroom.
Guozijian teaches according to six classes, Guangye Hall, Chongzhi Hall, and Zhengyi Hall are elementary. Those who are young, or only proficient in the Four Books, but not in the Five Classics are all assigned to the junior hall. And master the four books and five classics, three classics and twenty-one histories, and enter the intermediate class.
Elementary and intermediate schooling are both one and a half years.
The high-level straightforward hall has a one-year schooling system. Those who pass the monthly and ten-day examinations can go to the five prefectures, six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Department, Dali Temple and other yamen to participate in various government affairs of these departments. The internship period is three months to one year.
There is no Taixue in this dynasty, and the children of all honored nobles are all crowded in the Guozijian, just like a small court.
Mu Yan is in the junior Guangyetang. His status is embarrassing, and usually no one will take the initiative to make friends with him.
Coupled with his demeanor that strangers don't get close to him, there are even fewer classmates who can talk.
So more silent.
Ritual, music, temperament, archery, imperial education, calligraphy, and mathematics, Mu Yanshe and imperial masters are the best. After all, I was brought by my grandfather since I was a child, and I personally taught him to walk and get up early to squat.
Many of the honorable children of Guozijian are going to be princes in the future, or they are the reserve army of princes. The family can't wait to keep them in the greenhouse for fear that they will make the slightest mistake.
Where would they be willing to suffer from riding and archery and practicing martial arts sooner or later.
Every time I had a riding and archery class, everyone wailed in unison and wanted to pretend to be sick at home. Only Mu Yan was looking forward to riding and archery lessons. Every time he can be praised by the riding and archery instructor, he is the best among all the students.
It is inevitable that people will be jealous. People who don't like him always want to trip him up.
Mu Yan was disdainful in her heart, and after implementing the plan, there was no psychological burden.
After the riding and archery class, there was also a calligraphy class. Everyone slumped on the desks and chairs in a disfigured manner. Their feet hurt, their hands hurt, their backs were sore and their necks were sore, and everything ached.
Only Mu Yan took out a can of bald butter, unscrewed the lid, and took out a big steamed bun, ready to eat it with bald butter.
As soon as it was opened, all the students who were still limp got up together.
"What? It smells so good!" My stomach growled louder and louder.
"Bald butter!" The little fat man Xu Sanbao stared straight at once, and crawled from his desk to Mu Yan's side.
"Mu Yan, where did you come from? I asked someone to buy it, but they couldn't find it. I asked the kitchen to make it, and it didn't taste that good."
Xu Sanbao took a deep breath and became intoxicated. Well, that's the smell! It's the flavor he ate before! want to!
"Mu Yan, good Mu Yan, come on, give me a bite!"
"Me too, give me a bite!"
"Mu Yan, we are all classmates, you can't eat alone!"
Usually I don't care much about stepping on myself, but now I'm a classmate. The corner of Mu Yan's mouth curled up, and he quickly suppressed it.
"It was transferred to me by someone else. If you want it, I can transfer it to you." Mu Yan screwed the lid on. A very classmate love feeling.
"I, I want three taels!" Xu Sanbao said first. Thinking that Mu Yan was also transferred from someone else, he yelled again: "Four taels!"
Mu Yan stared at the bald butter in his hand, without moving.
"Five taels!"
"Six taels!"
"Eight taels!" Mu Yan raised her eyebrows, and she had to make up for the extra eight taels.
"Ten taels! Don't **** it from me! Or I won't bring you delicious food next time!" Xu Sanbao threatened.
Well, the threat worked.
Xu Sanbao is delicious, and brings good things almost every day. It's not that he is so friendly and likes to share with others, it's just that this little fat man always likes to show off to others when he eats delicious food, and likes to go around greedy.
His family also knows about his problem, and they are used to him. His mother gave birth to three sons, and two elder brothers died early, so there was only one legitimate son left. If he died again, the title would have to fall into the hands of the concubine.
His mother just wanted to hold him in the palm of her hand and protect him. As long as he rolled around, his mother and grandmother would have nothing to do.
It is often seen that he brings a big bag of food to the school when he is going to the toilet.
Xu Sanbao's threat was very effective, as expected no one robbed him.
Mu Yan took a golden bean without any psychological burden and put it away.
Although there was some hesitation for a while, the whole school treated Xu Sanbao with a pure heart and treated him with sincerity. It would be better if someone else bought it at a high price.
But the Xu family of the Marquis of Yongkang is rich, and Xu Sanbao's mother-in-law's dowry is particularly rich, and the maternal ancestor's family is not short of money.
Mu Yan looked at the bulging purse on Xu Sanpang's waist, his eyes darkened.
His own father, the current uncle, seems to have forgotten his son, and his wife who stayed in the ancestral house of the capital. Not only did they not send flowers back, but the Zhuangzi Tiandi shop in the capital sent them to the Yunnan Marquis Mansion whenever they collected rent.
Hou's mansion needs flowers, so does his own mother, he, not need to eat and drink?
There are also a lot of people in the capital, the four seasons and eight festival sacrifices at the ancestral grave on the General Mountain, and all the affairs of the clan, all relying on his mother's dowry to make up for it?
Mu Yan touched the golden beans he had just received in his purse, sat on the chair with a normal face, spread out the book, and began to grind the ink.
On Huo Xi's side, every morning, the family rolls the boat to the ferry in the outer city, and first sends Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu to sell fish, while she and Yang stay on the boat to soak and wash cloth.
Then at Chenshi, they began to pick up oranges from the old man Li and his wife who sold oranges to make citric acid.
The day after Huo Xi bought oranges, it was Old Man Li's son and daughter-in-law who brought the oranges with him and his wife on a cart.
The old man Li and his wife went home and said they had sold a load of sour oranges, and they even ordered all the oranges in the house from them. The family members don't believe it.
Even if I saw that they took back a hundred coins, I still didn't believe it.
I am afraid that others will lure them with the remaining oranges with small profits.
The family dubiously picked oranges overnight, and then sat in the yard peeling them until midnight.
While peeling the oranges, doubts abounded in my heart. How could anyone want oranges and send them with the peels? How long can it last? Why do you want to buy it? The gluttons in the family refused to eat the sour oranges.
Early the next morning, his son and daughter-in-law feared that the two elderly people would be cheated, so they pushed two loads of oranges on a cart and sent them to the outer city ferry.
They didn't believe it until they got more than two hundred coins.
"Thank you, thank you, then we will peel the skin tomorrow and deliver it on time!"
Old man Li's son couldn't help being excited when he saw his old parents accepting the copper coin, and he repeatedly promised Huo Xi and Yang. Thinking of the hundreds of catties of oranges on the tree at home, and thinking that the family can get a lot of copper coins this year, I am very happy.
After their family left, Huo Xi squeezed juice with Yang to refine the citric acid.
Then after Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai were picked up, the family will divide the work and cooperate.
Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu went to the countryside to collect vegetables and cloth, to collect wine, to sell goods along the river, to collect shrimp and crabs, and when they had free time, they dropped fishing nets a few times to catch some fish and shrimp. But Yang Shi and Huo Xi are only responsible for washing and drying cloth and taking Huo Nian with them.
