Chapter 137 Make a fortune by changing hands
Xia Qianqian was a little confused, "Madam, I bought this comb with money."
The woman seemed to have never heard of her words, and she focused all her attention on the comb in her hand, and she seemed to have never heard of Xia Qianqian's questions.
An old lady hurriedly approached, took out a ingot of silver from her cuff, and stuffed it into Xia Qianqian's hand, looking embarrassed, "Little girl, my wife has a crush on this comb, so you can resell it to her."
Xia Qianqian held the silver in her hand, feeling a little unbelievable.
This comb only costs eight cents.
"Madam, you have given too much." She didn't have to have this comb. The lady liked it so much, and it would be okay to resell it to her.
"I bought it just now and it only cost eight cents."
She handed over a ingot of silver in her hand.
The meaning is very obvious, just give me eight cents.
Unexpectedly, the nanny's mind was not about a single ingot of silver.
She usually brings silver notes and money, and she doesn't have eight cents at all.
"You can take it to you. No matter how much you spend, the money will be considered as our compensation to you."
"oh!"
Xia Qianqian silently collected the money into her pocket, and the vendor beside her was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly arranged the combs on the stall in rows, pushed them forward, and said excitedly: "Madam, I'm here, don't miss them! There are many combs here."
He picked up one of the combs with good looks and introduced enthusiastically: "Look. The patterns on this comb are carved with exquisite flowers, birds, fish and insects, one combs gold, two combs silver, and three combs to comb a treasure pot."
The small vendor's smile bloomed like a sun flower.
Unfortunately, the nanny seemed to have not seen her, turned to support the woman and advised her kindly, "Madam, let's go home quickly, don't let the young master wait in a hurry."
The two of them supported each other and walked away quickly after a while.
The little vendor looked at the backs of the two people with jealousy, and then turned to look for the lucky girl, but disappeared.
The small vendor sat down silently, looked at the rows of wooden combs in front of him, and then looked at the eight copper plates in the money box.
My intestines are almost regretful.
Xia Qianqian walked around the market and walked along West Street.
She has another important thing today, and she wants to go to the college where she can go to Yuanbao.
After comparing the various academies in Jiangcheng, Xia Qianqian chose this new academy near the gate of Xicheng.
Zhuxian Academy.
This college has been established for fifteen years. Among many colleges, its teaching is not the best, but it has a special existence.
It has a special school for girls.
Generally, larger colleges have girls' schools, which are places where women from officials and noble families gather.
In small places like Jiangcheng, influenced by the idea of favoring boys over girls, there are very few women entering the school, and simply, the college does not recruit female students.
However, this Zhuxian Academy provides female students with fair learning opportunities across genders.
Xia Qianqian's idea was very simple. She sent the ingot to the academy to study, and she also wanted to go in and coat a layer of gold.
After all, the original owner's name is full of stupidity. If she keeps doing something extraordinary with such a reputation, it is always doubtful.
Afterwards, she still needs to rack her brains to find ways to explain the lie.
It's really too much trouble.
It would be better, she went to the college to study.
If someone asks again later, why do you know how to write? Why do you know how to draw? Why do you know how to do so?
She answered all the questions, what she learned in the academy.
What a perfect excuse.
Zhuxian Academy is very close to West Street. Xia Qianqian arrived after walking for an incense stick.
Blue bricks and red tiles are planted along the exterior walls with rows of peach trees.
In April, the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, among the flying petals, above a mahogany gate, there are four big words about dragons and phoenixes written on the horizontal plaque, "Zhuxian Academy"
Xia Qianqian weighed the basket behind her, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.
An old man opened the door, looked at her with a look, and asked, "This girl, you are..."
"I am here to study, and I wonder if I can recommend me to meet with the teacher from the college."
"Girl, please come in!"
Xia Qianqian stepped in and the door slowly closed.
Two figures flashed under the big tree not far away.
It was Luo Miao and Zhang Xiaohua.
Luo Miao looked at the horizontal plaque of the college in the distance and asked, "Why does a person with a bad brain come to the college?"
Zhang Xiaohua shrank timidly, "She has been in trouble since she was a child, but after falling into the water and having a high fever some time ago, she not only had a clear mind, but also became smart and bold. She would go to the college this time, probably for her brother's studies."
"A farm girl has the ability to send her younger brother to the college in Jiangcheng."
"I heard that she is doing a small business recently. She sold bamboo baskets some time ago, and recently she is selling tofu."
"Hmph! They are all business that cannot be put on the table."
Luo Miao sneered coldly, then attracted the nanny beside him and reminded him: "I remember that one of my father's former disciples taught here. If you go to find him, no matter what, the college will not accept the girl's people."
The old lady nodded, took the voucher and quickly stepped forward to knock on the door.
The old man led Xia Qianqian to a hall, and was very enthusiastic and greeted: "Who is the girl's home who wants to come to our college to go to school?"
Xia Qianqian was blessed and said politely: "Old man, my brother is six years old this year. He has not yet been enlightened, but he can recite some words and has also learned some of the "Three Character Classic". I wonder if your college will be recruited?"
The old man looked at Xia Qianqian, stroked her beard and smiled, "The six-year-old doll is a bit late, but it's not too late. It's natural to come to the college. However, our college also needs to teach and train. Each person has a school year, three taels of silver."
Shu Xiu means tuition.
Xia Qianqian smiled and said, "Sir, we should give you a respect to Shu Xiu."
A year of three taels of silver is already considered cheap for the colleges in Jiangcheng.
When the old man heard this, he laughed, "That's fine."
This will do.
It was very simple to study in ancient times.
As long as you have money, you can get it.
In modern times, parents are not only worried about money, but also about school district housing and various household registration restrictions.
Xia Qianqian was delighted and mentioned: "I heard that you have a girls' college here, but can you still recruit students?"
"Of course, I will also recruit you. Is your family still a girl? Do you want to go to school?"
Xia Qianqian shook her head and pointed at herself and said, "No, it's me."
"You?" the old man was a little surprised. "How long is the girl?"
"Double Nine Years."
The old man looked awkward, "Have you ever been married?"
Xia Qianqian shook her head again, "I'm not married nor engaged."
The old man coughed dryly and explained: "The girls in our Women's College have been recruiting since they were three or four years old. The oldest is only thirteen."
In Xia Qianqian's heart, there is a capital letter "囧".
She is a doctoral graduate, can she start learning from kindergarten?
