    Chapter 121 Surprise2


    After talking about this, the family began to sort out the things they bought today, and **** the six rituals with red cloth.


    In the bundle of six gifts, there is a small red purse containing five taels of silver. This is the money for the husband.


    Third Grandpa said: "Old Doctor Wu said that the private school in the town requires five taels of silver a year for repairs. Let''s just give Wen Yuan this amount."


    They felt bad if they were given less, and refused to ept more if they were given more, so they followed other private schools, so that it would be easier for both families.


    In my hometown, these five taels of silver would be a huge amount of money, but now that my family has a tofu business, I dont feel bad about spending five taels of silver a year, and no one in the family objects.


    The family got up before dawn the next day, preparing to visit Shang''s house.


    Going to school was a big deal in ancient times, so Gu Dashan, Gu Jinan, and Gu Jinli all changed into new clothes. As the elders, the third grandfather also decided to follow him to Shang Xiucai''s house.


    When they were ready, they set out with Mr. and Mrs. Gu Damu and Mr. and Mrs. Gu Dagui who were out of the stall.


    Surprisingly, Gu Dexing also came. He said, "I''m running a stall with my second uncle and second aunt."


    The whole family knew that Gu Dexing wanted to be a disciple of Shang Xiucai, so the third grandfather saw that Gu Dexing was going to the town with him. He felt a little unhappy, but did not stop him. He just paid more attention to him along the way.


    Gu Dexing didn''t do anything. When passing by Shangjia Vige, he stood on the roadside and took a look at Shangjia Vige, and then followed Gu Dagui and his wife to the town to set up a stall.


    Third Grandpa took Gu Dashan and the others into Shangjia Vige, carrying gifts.


    Mrs. Chen was carrying the burden of tofu on her way, and said enviously: "Brother An is really lucky. He became a schr of Shang Xiucai, and he will be a schr no matter what in the future. This is a matter of honoring the ancestors. Our family will be able to do it anytime." It would be great if you be a schr."


    Gu Dexing looked very unhappy when he heard what Chen said. He lowered his head, picked up his burden, and walked quickly towards the town.


    Gu Dagui red at Chen and scolded her in a low voice: "You bitch, no one will think you are mute if you don''t speak."


    Dont you know what Brother Xing is thinking? He keeps talking about it, isn''t this stabbing Brother Xing in the heart?


    Mr. Chen didnt take it seriously, but felt that Brother Xing was a petty person, so if he didnt ept Shang Xiu, he wouldnt ept him. Its not like Shang Xiu was the only one who could teach in Qingfu Town. Brother Xing could have been taught by other teachers, but he could still study.


    Although he thought so, Chen did not say anything to make Gu Dexing unhappy.


    Shang Xiucai knew that the Gu family wasing to visit today, so he asked Ah Jiu to wait at the entrance of the vige early in the morning.


    As soon as Third Grandpa and the others entered Shangjia Vige, Ah Jiu saw them and greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Gu family, Uncle Gu, Brother An, Xiaoyu, I asked the younger one to pick you up. Come with me, the master is at home. Waiting."


    The third grandpa smiled and said, Thank you, little brother, for leading the way.


    A group of four people followed Ah Jiu to Shang Xiucai''s house.


    Shangjia Vige is veryrge, and because it is close to the town, it is wealthier than other viges.


    Along the way, most of the houses I saw were mud and tile houses, and there were quite a few blue brick houses. As for the mud and thatched houses, there were only a dozen or so.


    Unlike their Dafeng vige, most of them are mud thatched houses.


    Shang Xiucai''s house is located at the end of the vige. It is a five-door courtyard with white walls and ck tiles, surrounded by a lotus pond and running water. There is a piece of Xiangfei bamboo nted outside the yard. It looks poetic and picturesque, and it doesn''t look like a house in the countryside at all.


    Third Grandpa and others knew that Shang Xiucai''s family was andlord, but they were still shocked when they saw Shang Xiucai''s family entering the courtyard. No wonder the old doctor Wu said that Shang Xiucai would not recruit students for the sake of cultivating students, and Dare''s family was not short of money at all. . "Mr. Gu, Uncle Gu, let''s go this way." Ah Jiu brought the third grandfather and the others into Shang''s house.


    Shang Xiucai was already waiting in the front yard. When he saw Third Grandpa and the others, he stood up to greet them: "Uncle Gu, Brother Gu, you are here."


    He turned to Gu Jinli and said, "The little fish is here too."


    Uncle Shang. Gu Jinli smiled and greeted Shang Xiucai.


    Gu Jinan bowed his hands and shouted: "Sir."


    Shang Xiucai looked at Gu Jinan, who was wearing new clothes, with a figure as straight as a bamboo and a clear face, and nodded with satisfaction: "Come in."


    After the group entered the main room in the front yard, a maid came in to serve tea.


    After the maid left, Gu Dashan immediately handed the gift of repair to Gu Jinan and asked him to give it to Shang Xiucai.


    Shang Xiucai didn''t pay any attention to anything, and directly epted the gift and said: "I don''t have strict rules here. I just want to say, don''t do anything harmful to nature. If you do bad karma, I won''t tolerate it here. Sweeping the house is easy."


    Gu Jinan immediately said: "Sir, don''t worry, I will not dare to do anything that goes against thews of nature. I will concentrate on my studies in order to achieve sess."


    Hearing this, Shang Xiucai didn''t say much. He just told the time of teaching: "I have ss at six o''clock every day, and I finish my lessons at the end of noon and go home."


    In total, Gu Jinan only had two hours of sses a day, which was not a long time.


    Shang Xiucai specially set this time for Gu Jinan. He knew that the Gu family was busy with work. Gu Jinan had a lot of work to do at home every day, so he was only allowed to attend sses for two hours every day so that he could have time to help. Doing work around the house.


    Gu Jinan knew Shang Xiucais painstaking efforts and said gratefully: Thank you, sir, sir.


    In this way, he can study and help the family at the same time, and he will feel less guilty.


    Grandpa San and Gu Dashan respect schrs very much, especially Shang Xiucai. They feel that he is a knowledgeable person, and naturally he will do whatever he says without saying anything twice.


    After talking about Gu Jinan, Gu Jinli took out a jar of soybean oil from the basket and said to Shang Xiucai: "Uncle Shang, this is the soybean oil I made."


    Shang Xiucai was surprised: "Soybean oil? Have you really made it?"


    Gu Jinli nodded, opened the lid of the jar, took out a wooden bowl from the basket, poured the soybean oil in the jar into the wooden bowl, and said to Shang Xiucai: "Uncle Shang, look, this is soybean oil."


    Shang Xiucai walked over quickly and looked at the amber-colored liquid in the wooden bowl. He couldn''t hide the excitement on his face. He took the wooden bowl, dipped his fingers into the soybean oil inside, twisted it, and said in surprise: " Its indeed oil.


    He leaned close to the wooden bowl and smelled it. There was a bean aroma in the oil, so it seemed to be soybean oil.


    Shang Xiucai was so excited that he immediately called Ah Jiu: "Ah Jiu, take this soybean oil to the kitchen and make a few dishes. Do it now, hurry up."


    Ah Jiu looked at his master''s excitement and was a little confused, but he still took the jar and went to the kitchen to cook with the soybean oil.


    Shang Xiucai asked Gu Jinli some things about soybean oil.


    Gu Jinli focused on the oil yield: "Twenty pounds of soybeans can produce four pounds and two ounces of oil."


    Four catties and two taels! Shang Xiucai was very excited and quickly made a calction.
